Who was I before doesn't matter...Who cares about a guy who wasn't famous that is average Joe who lives in a apartment with a 9-5 job?

No one that's who.

But what happen to me is something worth telling.

See before I became...this, I was like you a gamer in the world who is getting by like any other person and who loved Fallout, Skyrim, and Fimficton. My life wasn't something unique like Johnny Depp, just a guy who liked wasteland RPGs and was a member of the fallout community. It was a nice life but this is so much better than that!

Let me tell you how all this happened, that's why your here right?

Well it all started at a fallout event in Dallas Texas (Go cowboys), these events are where a whole bunch of fallout lovers come together to hang out. Of course I went but unlike a good 90% of the people who went I didn't dress up, sadly see I don't have the money or the time to do such things I've barley got time for video games. My job is a good one but its a pain but that's not important, see as I went there went to the booths to check out the amazing shit that was there.

Its quite amazing how some people can build something with the money and time like a full set of accurate fallout 4 style X-01 power armor?! How do they do it? The dude was at least a good two feet taller than me and hell I'm a tall guy that's 5ft 10ins or a full deathclaw cosplay!

Hot damn these guys are good!

But there was one thing that was...off.

What may that be?

Well I'm not a fan of the resident evil series but I knew it when I saw the guy.

The merchant.

Confused I went over to his booth to see what he was selling and out of all the booths this guys had the most realistic looking fallout gear I have ever seen. Hell I think some of the power armor and enegry weapons where made out of real metal! Who can do that? Well apparently this guy.

This merchant guys was nailing the voice of the merchant hell he could have been the voice actor for all I knew, he greeted me with his normal.

"Over here stranger...got something that might interest yeh hee hee,"

Looking at look the cool little toys he had was quite the sight but when I saw the price tags it made my smile fad at the over 100$ prices. The merchant must had seen my frown and must have known what was I thinking, as I began to leave he asked me a question.

"Stranger before you leave I got a question for yah," He asked as I turned to him.

"What is it merchant," I asked playing along as he placed his hands togther.

"What is your favorite fallout game?" He asked I smiled as I pointed to a NCR flag.

"New Vegas hand down...though Fallout 4 was impressive with its graphics and build system the classic will always have a place in my heart," I tell the man as he chuckles.

"Than I got the thing just for you stranger," He hums as he reached under his table before pulling out a small lockbox before pulling key from his neck and opening it and turning it around to me.

Raising a eyebrow I saw the familiar x-box One and PS4 coloring of game boxes, on the boxes where the covers for Fallout New Vegas. But unlike the remastered you would find out on the market these read: Fallout New Vegas: Courier's Mastery edition. Looking back up at the Merchant I asked.

"I've never seen these versons of the game before what are they?" I asked.

With a chuckle the merchant held out his hands to me.

"These stranger are a rare version of New Vegas as you can see. They were never released of course but that didn't mean a few were ever made," Looking at the x-box version of the game I noticed the box art was different than either the normal or the remastered edition. It was the courier standing in the strip with all companions behind him along with a pack brahmin, turning on its back it had the same back as the remastered one with everything but at the very end of the text read: For the first time continue you journey after the battle of hoover damn!

Surprised I looked at the merchant who held his hands.

"Is this fake?" I asked his eyes shot up as if I offended him.

"What?! Why would you say that! These are 100% official produces I would never swindle a buyer stranger its bad for business," He pointed to the game and leaned forward. "See this game is completely different than the fallout New Vegas that your use to. See all cut content has been added in with amazing textures, this game also has new weapons, armor, missions, and locations you can find. This isn't a lie stranger I'm being honest here!"

Looking at the game I opened it to see the two disks that one would expect for a game like this but still it was opened and not wrapped. As I looked at the Merchant with a raised eyebrow.

"How about this Stranger I give you the game for $10 bucks and if you don't like it you would have been glad that you wouldn't payed for the usual $30? what do you say stranger we got a deal?" He held out his hand.

I looked at the game and back to him before smiling.

It was a good deal even and this guy seemed to be honest so I best its good to give him the benefit of doubt. So you know what I did?

I shook his hand.

After paying for the game I left the event and went straight home, with the rest of the week off due to renovations to my job I had all the time in the world to play the new game I got. When I got hope I went straight to the x-box and turned up and oh my god!

The game was amazing!

The merchant fellow was right the game was some much different!

I was kinda overwhelmed at first but I adapted and overcame what came before me and for the first time in any play though I joined the house. Usually I would join the NCR or Yes man for they spare the Brotherhood and I have a history with the brotherhood of steel since fallout 3. But with this copy of the game I spared the Brotherhood along with them taking back helios one after the game ends!

It was so awesome!

I spent so much time on the game that I must have ever did in one play though than I ever did. I was really excited to have after gameplay to export the world after house took vegas for himself, so I decided to play all the DLCs first like normal and boy did they have more than what they had before.

Did you know you can used saturnite to upgrade your armor rating but you have to be careful there are so many saturnite ingotes so the two sets I gave the saturnite upgrade where the X-01 and the elite riot gear. So when I finally got to hoover damn my charater was built like a tank even more than the one in the normal game!

I had cut weapons and other goodies to use on the legate and his followers.

But when I beat the game I couldn't have no what came next.

See after the sentence at the end of the game showed I felt...sleepy even though it was the middle of the day and before I could shut off the x-box I blacked out.

It was when I came to when I found out what I had become.
