Joshua Graham tells the story of how he became the burned man. A series of small mistakes before a great fall.

"I have been baptized twice once in water once in flame. "
God I love this game

[sneedfeedandseed]

his survival seems unrealistic at first but you gotta remember that the NCR had 5 "confirmed" kills on this guy.
let that sink in.

"It was as though the prodigal son had returned. They've welcomed me like if I've never left, never done anything to shame them. The fire that it kept me alive was love. Their love. God's love. I will never be able to repay the debt I owe them. But I must try"

brings tears to my eyes

Hands down the best character and back story.

I love the way Obsidian made each of their prominent characters talk in certain ways to make them sound more individualistic. Like Ulysses talking in half sentences and metaphors, Caesar constantly quoting philosophy to justify what he is doing mixed in with just being a stern old man and Joshua quoting the bible even other sentence while applying it to his own life.

I like that if you look at Joshua Graham's stats: His highest stat is endurance which is at 10, but his lowest stat is luck which is 5. Which explains a lot about Joshua. You can even see that him being a burn victim also affected his strength stat which is 6, his second lowest stat. Showing that he doesn't have much strength due to his burnt skin and muscles. Also if you look at his class it'll say NVDLC02DestroyingAngel.

I’ve killed Deathclaws barehanded. And this man scares me

[camdetwiler]

The statement of Joshuas that says “the fire in my heart was brighter than the one around me” could be said about the whole of fallout. Civilization ended as they knew it but many souls lived on and kept fighting despite it. That’s my second favorite quote beside a war never changes

[giorgisabashvili]

"i survived because the fire inside burned brighter than the fire around me" that line never fails to give me goosebumps

[sergioruiz]

A great fall from grace, but graham doesn't find redemption by avoiding harsh actions, or saying outright that pacifism is the answer. I do like that he, if not outright, shows that he has the ability to be cruel and that choosing carefully when and where it is needed is useful rather then out of bloodlust, however i guess his religious beliefs probably fill that sense of justification.

I love Joshua Graham. His morality is so gray you don't know if he's an anti-hero protagonist or the true Prodigal Son. Either way, best character in New Vegas

As someone who was also born in Ogden Utah I’ve become fascinated with Joshua and his character rarely do I see someone from my home state in media and one who’s also so badass I genuinely want to cosplay him as well.

Between him and Ulysses, in PRAYING that Microsoft makes Bethesda and obsidian remake the game, just so I can see so those two again

[KillianGrenier]

1:17 I love that detail. Joshua almost referred Caesar as 'Edward', Caesar's real name. they were friends and both co-founders of the legion

[onepunch]

Better conversation than all of fallout 4s entire dialogue.

A near death experience really can humble a man

_The fire that had kept me alive was love._
_Their love._
_God's love._

I remember being a little kid and reading the fallout bible and the design documents for Van Buren. I was enamored with the story of the burned man, wishing that I’d get to see his story finally realized.

My only disappointment with New Vegas was that Graham didn’t play a bigger role, but I was grateful for all the mentions he got, and I liked that in a weird way, he’s the reason the whole game even happens.
