Van Buren: Pipboy 3000
Pictured: A render of the Pipboy 3000 by Glenn Price, created for Interplay's cancelled Fallout 3, codenamed Van Buren.
The Pipboy 3000 later made its first appearance in Bethesda's Fallout 3 with an entirely different design. You can read more about the various Pip-Boys in the series here:

Sibling J has just confidently announced that in his opinion, Van Buren isn't obscure media within the Fallout community at large. More specifically, he said that he believes the majority of the 'online fandom' (by which he's referring to us over here on Tumblr) would recognise Van Buren-only factions by name.
I already know this is going to be biased as all hell, especially coming from my blog of all places, but I thought it might get a bit of a general picture?

I keep thinking about how the pacification of the Twisted Hair is Dry Wells. Ulysses spoke like it was a quick death of his tribe, a brutal trap orchestrated by Vuples. (Given Nipton I don’t doubt it.) In that moment, I wonder about how many proud warriors of the tribe, members, he would have looked up to died... refusing to surrender their identity and accept subjugation, a totalitarian dictatorship. Accepting they were tools for Caesar to use to and discard as he saw fit.
Ulysses survived because he accepted the legions demands of him, became a tool for them. It broke eventually him and he decides to try and do some fucked up shit lashing out by the time our courier meets him. Which isn’t good but he’s super traumatized by this point but luckily we can talk him out if it.
Hecate on the other hand….(The lone survivor of the twisted hairs tribe of a cancelled van buren so not exactly canon. But some things were recycled for FNV) she survived out of sheer spite and insanity. Hecate learned about genetics about medicine and bided her time. She returned to the those that had refused to shelter her hidden with war paint, and acted as a midwife gaining power and popularity based on what she had learn. She stole healthy infants and switched them with weak an sickly ones sabotaged crops and livestock and bred stronger crops/livestock for her worshippers until she had an army she gains so loyal and big she could strike back those that refused her then eventually against Caesar himself. Hecate thinks she’s a god and will not backdown because in my opinion people in the positions seldom ever do.
Caesar, who is responsible for the death of the twisted hairs. A man who wants to be worshipped as a savior, the son of Mars, the bastard bastion of civilization in the wasteland.
Hecate parallels Caesar in her demands for total fervent loyalty, the uses horrible tactics to take control of an army.
So many things could happen if Hecate met Ulysses. I suspect however only one of them would survive, because Ulysses would compare her to her enemy. And because she’s delusional af from trauma that happened prior to meeting Diana.

Fallout 3: T-45d Power Armor
Were you previously aware that the T-45d Power Armor designation originally came from the cancelled Van Buren?
Fallout 3 would later reference the T-45d in a Museum of Technology terminal entry. This designation was later applied to that game's Power Armor starting in Fallout: New Vegas.
In Fallout 3, what became the T-45d in later entries was just called, “Power Armor.” Fallout: New Vegas changed the item name to “T-45d Power Armor,” which was adopted by subsequent titles.
You can read about T-45d here:

I personally feel that if Bethesda gave Obsidian more time then New Vegas would've been a lot more like Van Buren
Like there's already a lot of things in relation to Van Buren in New Vegas such as The Legion, taking place in Nevada, Joshua Graham, the Chinese stealth suits in Hoover Dam
While I don't think it would've been exactly like how Van Buren was intended I definitely think there would've been more things in relation to Van Buren as there were a lot of factions in Van Buren that didn't make it into New Vegas such as The Cult of Blucifer or The Children of Calypso
