"Fallout: New Vegas is a western RPG made by Obsidian taking place in a post-apocalyptic western coast United States, specifically the Mojave desert, located in modern-day Arizona. The game, among other things, is well known for its surprisingly deep and nuanced narrative and world-building, particularly regarding the main factions and how they fit into the narrative and world-building of the game. However, this paper aims to highlight a far less discussed aspect of the factions: how the factions work as parts of the long-standing tradition of the Fallout franchise as a commentary on American Society. This paper analyzes specifically three factions within the game that the player encounters and interacts with the most: the New California Republic, Caesar’s Legion, and Mr. House. Qualitative Analysis was conducted between the nature and behavior of the three factions and various aspects of American society based on the question of which aspect of American society corresponds the best to each of the three factions around the time of the game’s release of 2010 and earlier. This paper shows that the three main factions of New Vegas, the New California Republic (NCR), the Caesar’s Legion, and Mr. House can indeed work as a form of commentary on various aspects of the United States, specifically for the US government in the Bush era, the American right-wing militia movements, and the capitalist system and figures of the United States during the 2000s. This comparison provides insight into the socio-political situation of the 2000s United States. It shows how the faction’s structure, behavior, and options they provide to the player through the quest allow the player to gain insight into the game’s view on the socio-political context of 2000s America.

Fallout: New Vegas adalah permaian Role-Playing Game (RPG) ciptaan Obsidian yang berlatar di pesisir barat Amerika Serikat pasca-kiamat, khususnya di gurun Mojave, Arizona. Gim ini terkenal karena narasi dan pembangunan dunia yang sangat dalam dan bernuansa, khususnya mengenai faksi-faksi utama dan bagaimana mereka masuk ke dalam narasi dan pembangunan dunia gim tersebut. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk menyoroti aspek faksi-faksi yang kurang dibahas: bagaimana faksi-faksi tersebut bekerja sebagai bagian dari tradisi Fallout sebagai komentar mengenai Masyarakat Amerika Serikat. Makalah ini menganalisis secara khusus tiga faksi dalam gim yang paling sering ditemui dan berinteraksi dengan pemain: New California Republic, Caesar's Legion, dan Mr. House. Analisis Kualitatif dilakukan untuk menghubungkan sifat dan perilaku ketiga faksi dengan berbagai aspek masyarakat Amerika berdasarkan pertanyaan-pertanyaan tentang aspek masyarakat Amerika mana yang paling sesuai dengan masing-masing dari ketiga faksi tersebut dalam sekitar waktu perilisan gim (2010) dan sebelumnya. Makalah ini menunjukkan bahwa tiga faksi utama New Vegas, New California Republic (NCR), Caesar’s Legion, dan Mr. House memang dapat berfungsi sebagai bentuk komentar tentang berbagai aspek Amerika Serikat, khususnya untuk pemerintah AS di era Bush, gerakan milisi sayap kanan Amerika, dan sistem kapitalis serta tokoh-tokoh Amerika Serikat selama tahun 2000-an. Perbandingan ini memberikan wawasan tentang situasi sosial-politik Amerika Serikat tahun 2000-an. Perbandingan ini juga menunjukkan bagaimana struktur, perilaku, dan opsi faksi yang mereka berikan kepada pemain melalui pencarian memungkinkan pemain untuk mendapatkan wawasan tentang pandangan permainan tentang konteks sosial-politik Amerika tahun 2000-an."

"Synopsis: Eric Weiner spent a decade as a foreign correspondent for National Public Radio in the US. He has been based in New Dehli, Jerusalem and Tokyo and has reported from more than thirty countries. He's also served as a correspondent for NPR in New York, Miami and, currently, Washington D.C. Weiner is a former reporter for the New York Times and a Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford University. After travelling the world, he has settled quasi-happily, in the Washington area, where he divides his time between his living room and his kitchen. What makes a nation happy? Is one country's sense of happiness the same as another's? In the last two decades, psychologists and economists have learned a lot about who's happy and who isn't. The Dutch are, the Romanians aren't, and Americans are somewhere in between...After years of going to the world's least happy countries, Eric Weiner, a veteran foreign correspondent, decided to travel and evaluate each country's different sense of happiness and discover the nation that seemed happiest of all. ·He discovers the relationship between money and happiness in tiny and extremely wealthy Qatar (and it's not a good one)·He goes to Thailand, and finds that not thinking is a contented way of life. ·He goes to the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, and discovers they have an official policy of Gross National Happiness!·He asks himself why the British don't do happiness?In Weiner's quest to find the world's happiest places, he eats rotten Icelandic shark, meditates in Bangalore, visits strip clubs in Bangkok and drinks himself into a stupor in Reykjavik. Full of inspired moments, The Geography of Bliss accomplishes a feat few travel books dare and even fewer achieve: to make you happier. The grumpiest man on the planet goes in search of the happiest place in the world "Part travelogue, part personal-discovery memoir and all sustained delight, this wise, witty ramble reads like Paul Theroux channeling David Sedaris on a particularly good day...Fresh and beguiling."" * Kirkus Reviews * Eric Weiner spent a decade as a foreign correspondent for National Public Radio in the US.
