“You know, I tried to measure my Charisma on a Vit-o-matic Vigor Tester once. The machine burst into flames.”

Mr. New Vegas is an AI personality which was created by Mr. House[1] before the Great War to be the DJ of Radio New Vegas,[2] a job he still performs over 200 years later in 2281. He is heard on Radio New Vegas, but never seen in-game.

Interactions with the player character

Mr. New Vegas plays music and reports news, at times detailing the Courier's deeds in the Mojave Wasteland. He makes comments and gives advice on the Courier's active quests, such as revealing what the Courier must do or is going to do.

Much like Three Dog in Fallout 3, Mr. New Vegas also reveals some future details of the ending of Fallout: New Vegas, including the possible takeover of the NCR, Caesar's Legion, and Mr. House. In addition, Mr. New Vegas comments on the outcomes of major quests the Courier has already completed.

Notes

  • Mr. New Vegas rarely mentions the Courier specifically, except when the Courier leaves Doc Mitchell's house. This is in contrast to Three Dog who knows the Lone Wanderer personally, describing them as "the kid from Vault 101."
  • Some of his news will be based on the Courier's reputation or Karma.
