Forum:Questions you have about New Vegas that will never be answered

1. Why can't Veronica be Reunited with Christine? 2. Where is "The School"? 3. What is "The School"? 4. What did "The Principal" Do to become the Boogieman that he is? DoctorJay 19:43, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

1. Veronica cannot be reunited with Christine because Christine has chosen to watch over the sierra madre and endure it's hazards alone. The dialog is not put in place for the courier to tell Veronica about Christine. If the Veronica could rejoin christine at the sierra madre it would invalidate veronica's endings after the battle of hoover dam. Also, it's repeated multiple times that the courier will not be able to find the sierra madre after he or she leaves...the sierra madre was built in a location that was hard to traverse and hard to find.

2. "The School" is american high school in the big empty (my personal opinion).

3.American High School was used as a test facility to determine the ability of a communist agent to infiltrate an american high school (which hilariously is filled with cyberdogs and sentries dubbed "hall monitors". It mainly became a place for Doctor Borous to play out his personal fantasies of revenge on his childhood bully and childhood crush, Ritchie Marcus and Betsy Bright. He hilariously rants on in a pre-recorded message about Ritchie Marcus bullying and Betsy Bright smoking at school and turning him down for Ritchie.

4. Doctor Borous is shown to take ghoulish delight in the suffering of others, he went along with amoral experiments on "communist agents" and unsuspecting american citizens. He also cruelly experimented on his childhood dog and only friend "Gabe" he doesn't even feel bad about it until after the courier/mobius kills Gabe and brings Gabe's bowl to him. Given the way American High School was run when the courier entered it in 2281, the school was probably a horrible place when Doctor Borous supervised it as "The Principal". --Boredintheusa 23:50, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

See that is dubious because in the notes it says the children were 8-13 and that high school is well high school {unless its in dont rest your head then it's an boarding school for monsters}. I mean your answer is a good Placeholder answer but if these little children were running around in a building full of turrents cyberdogs and nightstalkers i doubt we'd have had any escapees.

as for the sierra madre answer that is technically the correct answer perhaps a better question would be. "Why wouldn't Bethesda/Obsidian let us give Lesbian Felicia Day a happy ending. DoctorJay 00:02, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

Well the developers of fallout aren't always consistent. Keep in mind it's not a real high school, it's just a test facility where Doctor Borous could play out his perverse fantasies and social experiments. The sorrows were described as being hispanic in origin by the survivalist if I remember right, there is a very high possibility that they were children who were kidnapped from mexico during the US military's occupation of mexico for experimentation. The think tank at big mountain definitely wouldn't have been above kidnapping kids to use in their experiments.

The use of children in that age range makes sense from my point of view, younger children are easier to control and less of an escape risk than older children. I figure that the facility probably fell into disrepair after Borous brain was removed from his body and mobius deleted their personal history and set them in a repeating loop. It is possible that Mobius let the children out of the facility and guided them out of the big empty- seeing how he's the only one in the think tank who had a conscious.Also it's fallout crazy shit happens all the time, 8-13 year olds probably wouldn't have been able to escape the high school and survive the mojave desert... but what are the chances a 19 year old could defeat a heavily armed paramilitary branch of the us government? It's not exactly reality.If you think about it the chances of a group of kids in their age group surviving in the wild after a nuclear holocaust are mind numbingly low to begin with, so why not add in a daring escape from a top-secret military research facility guarded by robot dogs and robot sentries?

The developers did that because Veronica is a tragic character and what's a tragic character without a story of doomed love? Kept away from the only woman she's ever loved by the closest thing she's ever had to a father, only to have both of them abandon her for their obsessions, one for vain delusions of grandeur and the other on a mission of assassination and revenge. Christine accepts with grim finality that she will never be able to leave the sierra madre even after Elijah is dealt with, she knows that she will never be able to leave the Sierra Madre's dangers unguarded...and she knows emotionally that she could never bring herself to destroy them not even for the woman she loves. Her only choice is to carry out the rest of her life as lonely wretch walking through a polluted pre-war sepulcher watching over it's dangers and it's ghostly inhabitants.

Even if Veronica could find her and be with her in the sierra madre that doesn't make for much of a happy ending with the poisonous fumes and ghost people.Hell who would want to stay in some miserable old world relic for the rest of their life, even if it was for the one they love? --Boredintheusa 06:54, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

I think it's pretty stupid. Christine wouldn't give a rats ass about the Sierra Madre if she knew she could be reunited with Veronica, Christine could just follow the Courier back to the Mojave, and live with Veronica in the Lucky 38, in complete safety. Happily ever after and all that. Oh, and you'd take Dean to The Tops and Dog/Dog to Jacobstown. Sorted. 86.186.205.73 14:26, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

Everything in "Dead Money" is about letting go. Christine couldn't let go of her vengeance and what Elijah did do her, even after he was (as good as) dead, so she stayed behind. And she probably wouldn't want Veronica to see her like that, covered in scars and speaking with a dead woman's voice.

The School is supposed to be Vault 29, the Vault that Harold came from. It was going to be in Van Buren, and was designed to be populated entirely by children and had a ZAX AI unit instead of an Overseer. Presumably, the AI is "The Principal." And the Mexican refugees that ended up in Zion were all eaten by the Vault 22 escapees. That's what made Clark snap and start hunting them.

American High School is just a cyberdog test course. The whole high school scenario is Dr. Borous not being able to get over the people that were mean to him when he was a teenager. Now that he's a big, powerful scientist, he's going to build his own little sandbox version of high school where everybody knows what a jerk Ritchie Marcus is and how Betty is a no-good hussy. It's all his paranoia and persecution complex, paid for in the name of science. Veazey21 14:57, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

Richie Marcus is the bully, Betsy bright is the unrequited love, Who is Cherie O'Bannon?
