Songs That Actually Remind Me Of Fallout Companions Characters In No Particular Order. The Themes Vary

Songs that actually remind me of fallout companions characters in no particular order. The themes vary pretty wildly.

Arcade: Starting off with Danke Schoen (I listen specifically to the Wayne Newton version on Spotify) which is a thank you to an old love for all the good memories. This song fits the general motif of goodbyes to the past that Arcade’s character is struck through with, and it was translated into an English version from a foreign language (like auld lang syne).

Benny: In very Benny fashion, Luck Be A Lady by Frank Sinatra. It starts off slow but quickly speeds up, and of course the lyrics all sound like things he would say. Naturally the song is about gambling and the fickle nature of luck. Also, it is annoyingly catchy.

Vulpes: Basic, I know, but A Well Respected Man by The Kinks is definitely like him. While the song is originally a satire about the middle class in Britain, it speaks of a monotonous life with darker undertones in the background. Understandably, a spy is going to need to live a monotonous life like this in order to maintain his figure as an upstanding member of whatever society he’s infiltrating. Vulpes, right?

Boone: I Don’t Want To See Tomorrow by Nat King Cole (Holy shit fallout show reference). Yeah yeah yeah, sadman deadwife stuff, I get it, but this song really does seem like him. The lyrics are pretty damn depressing, talking about how life without a love is a life not worth living. It’s very slow and deliberately paced, and hauntingly mournful.

Cass: Here’s a surface level song, and I know her only character trait isn’t drinking, but Poor Little Critter on the Road by The Knitters, X, and Dave Alvin fits. Essentially its about having a good time drinking and living life chaotically.

Ulysses: Going back to somber songs, Buffalo Soldier by Bob Marley & The Wailers. The song is about African American cavalry troops fighting in the American Indian Wars and their struggle for survival, and I think it can reflect onto Ulysses very well. Some lyrics that are so, so, so much like him are “If you know your history/Then you would know where you’re coming from” followed by “Then you wouldn’t have to ask me/Who the heck do I think I am?”

I’ll prolly repost with more songs later idk

They are very far from Nazis, and it is important to make this distinction.

i wondered to myself, Arcade Israel Gannon has some pretty unusual names, what do they all mean? 'Arcade' is a word for a row of arches in architecture, coming from the root word arcus for bow in Latin. Arcades are a common feature in Greco-Roman and Muslim architecture, especially religious buildings. it could also mean shopping mall or game arcade, but I think this meaning of the word relates more to Arcade's religious themes

'Israel' is a Hebrew name from the Bible meaning 'wrestles with God' or 'God struggles', used by both Jewish and Christian cultures. JE Sawyer says that this was not meant to imply that Arcade was Jewish, but to signify his struggle with idealism, mirroring Jacob's fight with an angel in the Bible.

'Gannon' is a Gaelic/Irish surname. I saw a claim that the name belonged to early Irish saints but didn't find any evidence to back that up, so.

anyway just thought yall might find this interesting :)

Y’all think Arcade Gannon watched The Twilight Zone on holotape or what

GREAAAAAAAAAHHHH ARCADE GANNON WHY WONT YOU SPREAD THOSE CHEEKS

when ur fav male character isnt romanceable 

Craig is my grandpa's name so everytime I'm reminded of Boone's first name it's absolutely shattering. Imagine playing New Vegas and some guy appeared talking about how there's no fishing holes in the Mojave. I can't unimagine that

You've heard of Craig Boone, now get ready for Boone Craig, who appears at random intervals to complain about how there's no fishing holes in the Mojave
