Rooting through paperwork, a NeoGAF poster found three trademark filings by ZeniMax Media, parent of Bethesda Softworks, maker of Fallout: New Vegas. One corresponds to a name from a graffiti file (pictured) like one that tipped off Decemberās āDead Moneyā DLC.
āHonest Heartsā is one of the trademark applications, and the one that is matched by the graffiti file, according to The Vault, (the gameās wiki volume). The other two names that were filed, āLonesome Roadā and āOld World Bluesā could either be future projects or red herrings.
The Vault notes that the Honest Hearts graffiti refers to Joshua Graham ā āThe Burned Manā ā and New Canaan. Graham was originally created as āThe Hanged Manā and he and New Canaan were to appear in the version of Fallout 3 that Black Isle had been developing, canceled in 2003.
