Victims of The Divide Fallout's Most Disturbed #shorts

cant be a pleasant existence

[atomicyeeter]

Its kind of strange that the marked men are enemies at heart but brothers in the divide. They shouldn't have gone after two of the deadliest humans known as courier 6, and Ulysses. They probably went insane because of the constant "bear, bull, bull, bear"

[Fortebx]

Until a certain courier revisits The Divide and puts an end to their pain.

[schmittybacall]

Well, I’d be in constant and excruciating pain if the one normal dude in the divide kept telling me about “the Bull” and “the Bear” like seriously dude, can’t we just talk about something other than apocalyptic geopolitics for five minutes man

You're a bit wrong there, they aren't red because of their skin tone, they're red because they are skinless, which you can actually make out on their character models, the lore going that the winds and sands of the divide literally scrapped the skin from them but the radiation keep them alive.
They're in about as much pain as you would imagine an undying skinless person to be.
Part of their lore is while they suffered they used their symbols as something to hold onto so they didn't lose themselves, for the legion it was their armor, for the NCR it was their weapons, which is why a lot of the legion based on are dressed like the lagate while the NCR ones for the most part are dressed like normal soldiers.

Man that's brutal. It's like how Darth Vader is basically a corpse kept alive by his hatred.

[zahk]

Constant agony overrules hate. Survival beats flags.

Ulysses: You who do not know your history, you killed these people, you delivered the package
Courier 6: LOL I'll fuckin do it again

The only thing the Marked Men truly enjoyed was getting tunneled in their Divide with the “Fist of Rawr”
*ba dum tss*

The marked men really made me think. The thing is, they strive to live but still want to die fighting. So is this a metaphor for the PTSD of war veterans? I believe it, though I can't be sure, as I didn't serve and never experienced the horrors of modern warfare. Geez, THE LONG ROAD really got under my skin with all that dark Ulysses monologues. That was the most dystopian storyline of all Fallout for me.

[Jurby]

If they’re so angry that they’re still alive then why don’t they just leave?

[tony_dogs]

The way the Marked Men are expanded upon in Fallout: DUST is such a cool progression from their role in Lonesome Road. And when you think about what you had to do to learn the lore, it's heartbreaking

[littlefoot]

It’s actually kinda awesome that they banned together to survive despite being enemies.

[holdthistomahawk]

If I remember correctly their skin was flayed from the insane winds in the divide it basically sandblasted their skin off

[unbknownu]

Literally “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” mentality

[TiltedTilterGaming]

Well they don’t want to live and they hate the divide for keeping them in their hell so….

Why not just leave and accept the fate that would await them.

[giacomoromano]

There is something deeply amusing about half ghoulish Legion warriors. Something ironic about twists of fate.

[memorymangaming]

marked men also have better weapons than their normal human legion/ncr variants for no reason.

"To the divide they came, in the divide they rest"

[missybraithwaite]

I dunno about y’all but I think the Devs over at obsidian snapped after they didn’t get the 85 metacritic score bonus

[NomadicHeimer]

The marked men hate the divide because the courier comes back to divide their cheeks for getting in the courier's way
