Fallout’s Most Terrifying Place - The Sierra Madre | FULL Fallout Lore & Origin Story

Ойындар

The Sierra Madre Casino and Resort is a tale of love and loss, but also tells a story about how to begin again you must let go.
This glamorous golden City was to be the crown jewel of the new world, a place that was safe for all who wanted to enter. But before it could officially open, all it set out to achieve was in ruin and its owner Sinclair had lost all he had cared for in this world.
In this video, we tell of the tragic tale of the Sierra Madre and explore the events leading up to 2281, as well as explore the creepy residence known only as the Ghost People.
This is the tale of the haunting city known as the Sierra Madre.

This is the ideal future goal for science for humanity and would enable humans to better thrive and survive in space and colonize outside earth.

    What’s the creepiest part of this DLC is when you discover about the radio signal you first come across before starting the DLC. It’s actually not an “advertisement” for the Sierra Madre, but instead it’s an emergency call. But for some reason ( I forgot why) the emergency call is tied to the dialogue of Vera Keyes inviting people to the Sierra Madre. So for 200 years, the SM has been calling for help, only to have people hear Vera Keyes invite travellers to their doom.

    Dean says that Sinclair hooked up Vera’s message to the emergency broadcast, most likely to save costs, so that it would be widely broadcast. What he didn’t take into account was an actual emergency happening, which was ironically a huge oversight for a person who was preparing for nuclear war

    Basically, Sinclair had to cut corners since he didn’t have the budget to create a whole new system to send out a mass signal and let people know the sierra madre was opening. To do this, he used his emergency broadcast system and overrode it with Vera’s voice. However, the bombs dropped right before the gala event. Now her voice is trapped in the broadcast signal instead of an actual emergency broadcast

    What's interesting is that Sinclair was the victim here. He wanted someplace to help people start over once the world went to shit and nearly bankrupted himself doing so. If anything the villain here is Dean. He strikes me as an egomaniac, getting jealous of Sinclair's villa and Casino and, despite being almost bankrupt, had a cheery attitude is so petty. But in any case I believe Sinclair really did believe in doing some good in the world and got stiffed by the Villa crew led by Mr Yesterday, plans to be robbed by Dean, forced to sign a contract with Big Empty (Mountain) and betrayed by Vera. It's like Sinclair just wanted to do some good and everything was against him. I think in a way we all let go and start over. I went in thinking Sinclair was like all the other rich asses, yet I find some =one who is human, so sure I took all the gold but I let go of my assumptions and started to rethink that maybe the Sierra Madre isn't that bad.

I wanna replay it to learn more about it but that shit was hard 😂😂 I constantly got turned around, always at like 1/4 health, struggling by. I also never got the chance to get Christine out of there/heal her if there was the option. Her radio frequency still shows up on my Pip Boy, but it’s silent when I tune into it. My own ghost from the Sierra Madre, haunting me every time I wanna listen to Big Iron. I wanted to use the bunker as a home base afterwards too but the radio playing only reminded me of my failures.

    The corrupt Villa manager responsible for cutting corners & other racket-type activities is referred to in the computer terminal entries. The references for "Mr. Yesterday" are like Victor calling Benny "Fancy Pants". It's likely the actual name is one very familiar to the player character, as someone given the plum position as a favour by his intimate friendship with the big guy, Frederick Sinclair. Recall the song that was famous for a washed-up crooner & once beloved vocalist... it is both a literal reference to the song & the figurative situation of the despised manager being discussed. Both are equally descriptive of the one whom still has his contempt for "tourists".

    What I remember of the Sierra Madre while playing Fallout is that it is an ONE AREA in Fallout New Vegas that it is likely a player will die several times before you can get used to dealing with things like the bomb strapped to your neck or the enemies in it. In almost all other areas if one is cautious enough, it is unlikely one has to deal with your character dying. My guess is that the people that designed it wanted for the player to have an extra level of difficulty when dealing with it that just isn't used in on places the player has to go through.

    Nice breakdown! Dead Money is hard but the lore is intricate and honestly really neat. I'm also amused in gameplay how if you drop down to search Sinclair's bag (finding the holotape he removed) it's either difficult or outright impossible to get back up. Very fitting to the tone of the whole thing.

    There is evidence that the mystery of the ghost people runs further than a unique form of ghoulism. Though ghouls are capable of indefinite immortality they still must eat, drink, and remove wastes and toxins from their bodies, Dean even confirms this in the dlc. The Ghost People are incapable of doing these actions while being trapped inside of their suits. Ghouls are also known to acquire energy from intense background radiation which isn't prevalent in the Madre. Though Ghosts share some motifs of Ghoulism there is no evidence they are even ghouls at all. It is believed that the ghost people at some point kept their victims alive to convert them. Though we do not know the exact process of the creation of ghosts we can speculate through looking through the Madre for what it possibly could give some idea. When trying to trigger the galla event you can come across the skeletal remains of a man strewn atop a table with many surgical supplies and large vials of embalming fluid laid on some shelves. The implication of this scene is that the man was deceased and went under the process of mummification. Whoever was responsible for the embalming did not succeed in the process because the remains at the scene were deteriorated beyond recognition. My speculation is that the application of embalming fluid is used in the process of creating ghosts. Whatever this fluid is has the same glowing green hue that you see in ghost people. The embalming procedure would take a lot of time to do and if it wasn't done by the ghost people themselves then it wouldn't be possible. So I believe the ghosts are mummified and possibly even undead. I know it's a stretch but hear this: the hazard suits used by the ghost people were supplied from Big MT which was also responsible for the creation of the spore carriers. If you don't know spore carriers aren't ghouls either they are in fact dead people that are being preserved and animated by an unknown fungal infection. What color are the spore carriers? Green, exactly the same as the Ghost people. The thing about this theory is that the ghost people are thought to be capable of higher thinking and cognitive ability. The create traps, conduct ritualistic practices (embalming, worshipping holograms, etc.) and are capable of communicating to one another to a degree of planning ambushes on the player. So it will probably always be a mystery of what the ghost people actually are, I just love thinking about this kind of stuff.

    I like one particular theory that's been passed around a bit on r/Falloutlore. Somebody wrote up a short essay speculating that the Ghost People have mutated to the point where they move with a system of air bladders and internal pressure, kind of like spiders and sea stars, but with air instead of water. They're only able to run in short bursts and have to pause before they jump because they need to build up enough pressure to move like that. Supposedly bullets only slow them down instead of killing them because you're basically shooting a man-shaped sack of nerves and air bladders without much in the way of vital organs. If you poke enough holes in them, they deflate (hence why they make those jerky motions and sucking noises when they get back up). Bullet wounds they can heal over, but dismemberment takes them down because they can't regenerate a lost limb.

    When I first started Dead Money, I was completely shook and practically terrified of the villa and its surrounding areas. I was lucky to have leveled up after the first encounter I had because I immediately grabbed silent running in order to make it through. The ghost people were not easy to deal with and the cloud also gave me a hard time. Over time though, I figured out how to eventually get through, but even so, I was nervous. Once I reached the casino though, my fear turned to sadness as I started to better understand the story of the Sierra Madre and what happened to all of the key characters, like Vera. Watching her walk around the suites begging for Sinclair to save her and everyone else felt tragic. Finishing the DLC left me feeling bittersweet. Now though? I still play through and enjoy it, even on hardcore. It doesn’t pose too much of a challenge as before, but it’s still a lot harder than some of the other DLC’s, and I love for that reason.
