8. In Fallout: New Vegas, a good number of the quests have names that are taken from popular cowboy and Western themed entertainment from the 40s and 50s, mostly from songs and movies. Fallout 3 however has a few references too. Big Town is named for the song of the same name by Roy Brown, who has two songs on the Fallout 3 soundtrack: Butcher Pete and Mighty Mighty Man. Dukov’s Place similarly is a reference to the song Duke’s Place, a jazz composition written by Duke Ellington in 1942 and later re-recorded with lyrics in the mid 40s.
