"John Gonzalez, who actually wrote the entire main story and many of the game's central characters (Benny, Caesar, Mr. House, Vulpes Inculta, etc.) has seemingly been erased from the collective memory of the gaming community. I think it's really unfortunate. He also wrote all of the Survivalist logs in Honest Hearts (and some of the Happy Trails Caravan).

Writing duties are split up among designers. Not all designers write, but the majority of us do. Some do a larger share than others. I'll miss some here, but notably:

Eric Fenstermaker - Veronica, Boone, a lot of Novac and Helios One (Fantastic), a lot of Camp McCarran (Silas, Curtis, et al.), the White Gloves, Vault 11, some Goodsprings Travis Stout - Lily, Raul, the Misfits, some Goodsprings, Follows-Chalk, Waking Cloud, some Happy Trails folks, and a bunch of stuff on Old World Blues Akil Hooper - ED-E, a lot of Primm, the Omertas, some Hoover Dam, some Boomers Rob Lee - Some Camp McCarran, a lot of Freeside, Camp Guardian, some Boomers Jeff Husges - Most of Jacobstown, the Remnants, a ton of minor characters all over the place (including Boulder City, many Legion characters and Rex's quest) Matt MacClean - Return to Sender station rangers George Ziets - 1st Recon Charlie Staples - Forlorn Hope, a bunch of other stuff I can't even remember Jesse Farrell - A lot of Freeside (Kings, especially), Brotherhood of Steel, a lot of Hoover Dam Chris Avellone - Cass, Lanius, Oliver (I think?) and some minor characters at Mojave Outpost. Of course, he also did all of the writing for Dead Money and Lonesome Road, and split writing duties with Travis Stout on OWB (not sure of the split). Jorge Salgado - Red Lucy, Sarah Weintraub, Michael Angelo, and a few others (North Vegas)

Other designers also contributed (Stephanie Newland, JR Vosovic, Eric Beaumont, Sydney Wolfram, Dini McMurry), but I don't remember their specific writing contributions."

"In Caesar's view, NCR's problems have to do with the corruption of its government and what he sees as inherent flaws in NCR's republican system. All of the strategies he uses to assemble the Legion and march on NCR are means to an end, not social end goals themselves.

Caesar sees NCR as Rome and his role in reforming it as Julius Caesar's role in reforming the republic (by turning it into a dictatorship). When Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon and returned to Rome, his legion didn't surprise sex and enslave their way through the city. However, surprise sex and enslavement were common in outer territories of the Roman Empire and were regularly used as tools of intimidation and labor.

When Arcade "jokes" that Caesar thinks that the Colorado River is the Rubicon, he's not far from the truth."

"One of the themes of the game is "recreating the new world in the image of the old".

Sometimes we forget that the light of our society shines beyond our borders. Sometimes we take those privileges for granted that our forebears fought so hard to achieve. We must always remember that wherever Californians stand, we carry our principles with us: equal respect, representation, and protection under the laws of a just republic. This was the same fire that burned in the heart of the Old World that preceded us. We are the heirs of that civilization, torchbearers eastward of the Pacific, into the darkness of this wasted land.

Many of the major factions are caught up in it (NCR, Legion, Mr. House, The Kings, The Great Khans). The Followers aren't, but they also don't have a strong idea of how to move forward."

"I got the idea for Hanlon from Backdraft, actually. Scott Glenn's character made me think that maybe, among all of the veteran high-ranking NCR military figures, there was someone who was so fed up with how things were going that he did something drastic and dangerous to change things.

The story he tells about Rattletail, boiled down, is him saying, "The best thing I've ever done is trick people into leaving a place they had no business being."

EDIT: Also, some people have gotten mixed up about this: I didn't create Kimball (John Gonzalez did), but I wrote Kimball's speech. I created the Survivalist, but John Gonzalez wrote all of the Survivalist's logs."

More as I go through them.

 * I just want to point that the SA forums have a wordfilter on if you are not registered. "Shit" becomes "poo poo", "Fuck" becomes "gently caress", and "Rape" becomes "surprise sex".--Utritum 19:44, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

"Neutron Bandit posted: Anyone know what Matt MacLean (current South Park lead dev) did in Fallout: NV? I've been trying to find out what to expect from the game but that man is an Amish mystery. Matt wrote the dialogue for all of the ranger stations (Alpha through Foxtrot) and a few other side quests. I think he may also have set up a few secondary locations."

"redmercer posted: "Come Fly With Me" was the quest that convinced me that FO:NV was a great game. Trivia: that was the first major quest we wrote and Novac/REPCONN Test Site/Clark Field/Ranger Station Charlie/Gibson Scrap Yard was the first region we built."
