Jack Cabot actually says he isn't talking about the zetans if you chose the right dialogue options meaning the "ancients" are a different race altogether.
thats what I thought during the quest as well, it explains why they have been poking around a world full of primitives for several hundred years, they were likely looking for Lorenzo's crown or were looking to keep it sealed up in those ruins.
Annunaki. Zeta's were their allies in the rl stories, and Annunaki made subspecies of Zetas to blend in as humans and be over the Egyptians in ancient times as their pharoahs. Hence their wierd heads.
Agreed also the lorenzo artifact both on his helmet and gun are designed like a scarab, i personally havent seen any reference to scarabs in zetan's ships, tech, or attire.
I got a theory behind the Fallout 4 ship; Since the lone wanderer took over one mother-ship, and destroyed another, there's still a space ship in earths orbit in the lone wanderers control. Since the Zetan's or whatever we're calling the aliens, will have a home planet, they probably sent that fallout 4 ship to check out why two mother-ships just went quiet. And to it's surprise, got shot down by the human controlled mother ship and went down in boston. That or without the sole survivors knowing, there was another space battle and the lone wanderer won again, and that alien is a survivor.
I'm glad you mentioned a "space battle" because early on in Fallout 4, the museum had murals of a war on the moon or in space among the other major wars the U.S. was historically involved in. A war that players speculate, and TheEpicNate covered in a previous video, had occurred recently, some time "before the bombs dropped".
Just a quick question as I haven’t played fallout 3 but under what circumstances does the lone Wanderer leave the zetan ship. Is it directly under his control? Or does he leave other people in control of it ?
Stacie Meier but why haven’t either of them helped earth in any real way I mean yeah they probably don’t want the ship to fall into the wrong hands but they could’ve done something
Awesome theory, but I always thought of the Aliens as clumsy pilots. Do you think the alien in fallout 3 was a legit crash landing or just a trap for the LW
The Cabot Family storyline is another reference in the series to the works of H.P. Lovecraft. The ancient city being a direct nod to the Nameless City.
He forgot to mention that if you have Nick as your companion and the mysterious stranger appears, Nick would react to him appearing and say"there he is again, the mysterious stranger."
Your info on the Stranger is pretty off the mark. 1. The first acknowledgement that he canonically exists in the world came in 3's "Mothership Zeta" DLC, where you get special dialogue if you have the perk. 2. The first acknowledgement by _someone else_ came in New Vegas, with the Lonesome Drifter who obliquely hints that he's the Stranger's son. 3. The fact that the Stranger _has_ a son tells us that he's active in places the player character isn't. My personal theory? The Mysterious Strangers are a group. They have both male and female members, thus explaining Miss Fortune. I'll even guess at their origins. Fallout 76 introduces the Order of Mysteries, which among other things are known to carry powerful .44 revolvers, to be deadly efficient, and to be masters of stealth who can vanish from combat at a moment's notice. By the end of the questline involving them, your player character has full access to their computer systems, samples of all their tech, and the a device that we know from the story of the missions has already been used to make a copy of their data once before. I think it's a reasonable assumption that one of the 76ers canonically found the Order, went through the questline, and set to reviving the group, creating a "New Order of Mysteries" in which members no longer tried to emulate the Mistress of Mysteries, but simply trained to be more generic _Mysterious_ Strangers.
I think you've hit the nail on the head there. If they are a group or an individual their origins can likely be traced by to that radio star and her band of heroes
I swear Nate, you're going to be put in the Guiness Book of World Records for knowing the most facts about a video game franchise if you keep going on like this.
Well I wouldn't say that. I would say he's got a pretty good knowledge in Fallout 4 and Skyrim but in the other games he doesnt know that much (without trying to sound like an arsehole but hell I'm a twat so that isnt gonna go that well)
I think Deacon was apart of the Enclave. He wants his past kept a secret maybe because he was a covert agent and when they fell due to the lone wanderer and BoS he and others went dark and scrubbed their past. Also I think the reason why the alien crashed in Fallout 4 was due to the LW kicking ass in space with their spaceship.
The thing I find most interesting about the Grandchester Mansion is that it’s a clear analogy to the Winchester Mansion, and the stories about it. Yet, in the Fallout universe, Winchester existed as a company, making the plasma caster and a lot of other weapons.
The Milton Maze is considered to be a eater egg and nod to The SAW franchise. Considering the way the traps are set up and the choices you make. It was Bethesda’s nod to SAW. From what I read anyway, but could still be wrong
Pretty late to this, but it could also be a lose reference to H.H Holmes the serial killer who had a mansion in Chicago that he seemingly made into a maze for his sick desires. Including false rooms and hallways that lead nowhere.
I think the Mysterious Stranger is an organization like the regulators, just more secretive. Would explain his appearance changes and Miss Fortune in NV.
I think Deacon is a synth made by Father to keep an eye on you for whenever he decided to release you from the vault. But he ended up joining the railroad and turning his back on the institute helping to make the railroad what it is while also keeping an eye on you the objective that the head of the institute was so concerned about.
Well deacon is a synth,but not a spy. He confirms when you get to a certain affinity with him and he gives you his recall code. Edit: if he was a synth spy he never would of told you about him being a synth.
@@Sapphiregamer8605He's not a synth. If you look at the paper he gives you, it says something about not trusting everyone, and if you pass a speech check he'll straight up say he lied to you. Plus the fact that he doesn't have a synth component in his inventory
what if the reason he is so secretive is that he barely escaped the SRB once already in fo3 as Harkness and now is extremely secretive because Zimmer who we know from terminals is still alive has a personal vendetta against him and is actively hunting Harkness starting at rivet city and tracing all likely paths
@Peltsi I remember the Lunette companion mod for Fallout NV would ultimately make this conclusion. Making a suggestion of him being a time traveller because of how her VATS showed him as originating from our Pip-boy possibly via coordinates locking. However, this was fandom from a mod though.
I feel like the mysterious stranger is just like a doctor who, time traveler of the fallout universe helping out the protagonists because they can help the future or something.
3:52 I love the way he loses his shit for that wall behind the door 😂 I remember getting some serious chills in that same situation and the whole house was creepy as hell.
Maybe a synth in the institute is working for deacon, that would explain how he knows about the sole survivor, and his knowledge seems consistent with what the institute knows throughout the game.
Also, I think that the Mysterious Stranger is actually an entire series of synths deployed by the Institute to subtly nudge events by protecting/supporting certain individuals whose goals they support (or who happen to have a personal connection at the institute)
Marcus Zyker Nate has no brothers or sister, and his wife is dead. (Nate is the canonical survivor), so his bloodline is his, unless Shaun mated with someone, no. His bloodline is his.
The main quest in the Fusion City Rising mod crowbars that theory into the game with some terminals and notes that also assert that Deacon is the Lone Wanderer, Shaun is James, and the James we interact with in Fallout 3 is a synth duplicate.
Another possibility for The Mysterious Stranger is an imperfect version of the serum used by the Cabbot family. Perhaps it causes him to age slower than the average human? I'm not very familiar with the alien dlc, but the Zetans make another plausible explanation. If that 17th century samurai is still kickin', perhaps The Mysterious Stranger was abducted at some point, but he escaped? Whatever is keeping the samurai young could only be constant while on the ship. Perhaps it left a permanent residual effect on the stranger?
...Theories... 1. The mysterious Stranger is the devil and taking the perk is vault dweller selling their soul 2. Deacon is the player character from Fallout 3 (he will sometimes say "Tunnel Snakes Rule" as a reference to "something he heard once"). 3. The aliens in Fallout are the mutated dwarf population from Skyrim 4. The Gunners where Hired and Supplied By the institute. (they know about blood types and how to test for them [that is what their tattoos are on their forehead], they have extremely high level loot; most notably is the plasma weapons which the institute sells in their store, and finally when they captured that one synth [that the courser is after in the main story] it could have been the Gunners trying to negotiate a better deal for themselves.) 5. Preston is an idiot for living in Sanctuary instead of Vault 111. IT HAS PURIFIED WATER AND BEDS ALREADY, YOU PSYCHOPATH!!!!! 6. Ants can understand crazy people. both the ant-agonizer and the puppet guy from the official fallout comic use ants as allies with little to no effort. ...END OF LIST...
Though i;m sure this has been answered but what happens if you kill Deacon in one of the towns while he's in disguise before you have any contact with The Railroad and meet him properly?
I always assumed since you needed the perk from your pip-boy, that the mysterious stranger was simply another construct created by the ungodly powers of vault- tech's nice watch.
Deacon could be Railroad founder John Dee? Could that be ‘John Dee’ as in the famous astrologer, spymaster and magician who served the very first Queen Elizabeth at her court? And who was in contact with supposed Angels...who may well have been the Zetan aliens which the game implies have been watching over earth since at least the 16th century? And that was the same century that Doctor John Dee lived in! We know that Bethesda love to connect their stories to urban myths and things like the Lovecraft tales so this would be right up their street? Incidentally John Dee was the first 007 because that was his spying code name for writing to the Queen, I believe?
I have an idea about the Mysterious Stranger: What if the Mysterious Stranger is really a faction that operates around the U.S. by helping out the most “qualified” people around. The faction may be so devoted to their cause that they have stayed operating for all these years. I mean think about it, you need a perk to gain the mysterious stranger’s benefits. By the time you’ve gained a level and got that perk, you should have quite the name for yourself already. Sure, you don’t need to do anything drastic to level up, but these “strangers” could be monitoring you to see if you are the one. And hey, if they aren’t watching you... who knows, it could be Deacon...
Deacon is Johnny Cage who is accidentaly sent to fallout universe after kronika's death and start making histories in Railroad faction. There, that's my unpopular theory
John Dee is a reference to a Scottish Occultist who worked for the queen and travelled around the world with a man who later became Shakepeare and is the reason for the Philosophers Stone being a well known thing. Not for eternal life, mind you, but actually turning lead into gold.
An iteresting note to this would be that certain minerals are in the body and certain type of gold is supposed to have healing properties, I dont know how true that is though.
8:27 Don't you mean 6? I mean, yeah 76 is online only and has had a rocky start so far. But we can't exclude it from anything involving Fallout. Because he is in Fallout 76. 1. Fallout 1. 2. Fallout 2. 3. Fallout 3. 4. Fallout New Vegas. 5. Fallout 4. 6. Fallout 76.
Yeah I tried to play the mothership zeta DLC but then after going through the prison cells it didn't load. At all. Even when I uninstalled it and installed it again. Fallout 3 10/10 -0- It it just works
With tinker toms theory of deacon being a time traveler there could be a chance that he is the mysterious stranger in disguise because he is always secretly following you around
As far as the mystery of Deacon, he reminds me of the character of Elam Garak from Deep Space Nine. A former operative with the obsidian order who was exiled and found solace in the embrace of the greatest enemy of his people. He was fond of constructing elaborate and intricate lies as well as simple small lies, as he would say, why tell the truth when a lie will do?
[Spoilers] I was hoping for less of a skeptic's approach to the first entry. For the last entry: I found it a bit odd that you didn't mention the Firelance random encounter or the Wild Wasteland encounter with the trio of Zetans, in New Vegas. Nonetheless, I like the video.
I went to that weird parking garage wannabe gauntlet too, and there wasn’t shit but traps. No caps in it either, unless you want a carrot and some buffout, you’re their lab rat
My first play through in fallout, after I finished a mission I heard the ufo flying by. But I guess nick just HAD to talk to me about our relationship RIGHT THERE and I was never able to find the ufo and I was pretty upset that I couldn’t get the alien blaster, but then later got it from the huboligist in the Nuka World DLC
Theory: I think deacon was highred by kellog/Institute to watch the sole surviver from the vault and keep track of them because the sole survivor is the "backup"
Ghosts that appear to be fully alive can be more terrifying. Or, better yet, make them missing from the waiste down or move strangely by frame skipping. Oversized proportions or missing details like not having a face can really sell it. Its the unsettling that creates true fear.
Deacon actually has kept an eye on the sole survivor even before we left the vault, close to vault 111 is a chair and table with some water and a good view over the vaults opening that has a railroad sign. Ah there it came. I really wonders how he knew anyone old come out, maybe from the railroads contact in the Institute? The UFO triggers when you reach level 20. I mostly manage to miss but my followers never misses it. "What was that" they say and I can't reply with "what was what?"
I would love it if, in the next fallout game, the mysterious stranger, when triggered, comes up behind the target and beats them with a cane or walker. Lol
I once had a fist fight with Zachariah when I was level 85 and he was still above my level but that fist fight lasted for 20 minutes but I eventually won
It's been determined already that the lonesome drifter is the mysterious strangers son, there's a video on a youtuber called Oxford that goes into depth on this
I don’t know much about the fallout franchise but The aliens were here throughout human history and there was a war on the moon against a foe Could it be that the war was against the aliens after mankind discovered how they manipulated them And so the aliens had to get rid of the proof so orchestrated the events leading up to the nuclear annihilation we see in the fallout franchise Edit: the sea of tranquility mystery (war on the moon against an unknown instigator)
I guess the mysterious stranger could the previous protagonists. For example in fallout 2 the stranger is the protagonist of fallout 1 and fallout 3 stranger is the protagonist of fallout 2 and so on. The stranger in fallout 1 could be someone who is a experienced wastelander who decided to lend a hand to the vault dweller. He may have been someone curious who saw something in him or her. I mean when the fallout 1 jobs done he wasn’t allowed to enter the vault so may have been venturing the wasteland until he or she the chosen and saw the great potential. The chosen one destroyed the enclaves plans including the legendary frank hogan. After the chosen one job was done he decided to do the same and so on. This could explain the first mysterious stranger appearance change in every game and the experience of using stealth.
I think the mysterious stranger is a guardian angel tasked with aiding the protagonists of fallout games because they tend to do a lot of important things.
I hope/want you to do another mysteries video,but one of the topics should be about the sole survivor possibly being an Android(The First Android or at least a prototype)
7:30 Nick will also says a few things about the Mystery stranger, if you have Nick as a companion "hey look there he is" and other stuff like that if the mystery stranger show up
BogaOca try redownloading the game, and yes it’ll save all your progress, modded and non modded characters alike. It’s sucks to wait for it to download but it could be the only way
Gekyume Onfroy only problem is when I did this, it didn’t keep the list of mods and had to somehow figure the order out Plus it only worked for a few weeks for me
regardless of past games, you could also try to explain the ghost girl with the real world's knowledge of ghostly apparitions and haunted houses. from what i remember, these happen in old houses due to un-insulated water pipes creating extremely low frequency sounds that cause primal fear and hallucinations in anything alive, playing on pre-existing fears deep within the subconsciousness/instincts.
@@1987mrbenn I honestly would love it if nick was the mysterious stranger, decectiving his way around post war usa and just mind wiping himself after he'd seen too much or in an attempt to remove his pre-war memory
@@OzwotWolf Nick's story is mostly explained in the Far Harbor DLC. He doesn't remember what happened because he was saved from the institute just as his new prewar memories were transfered and installed from a detective that had his brain experimentally scanned, and got knocked out and left in a pile of garbage by the one saving him. DiMa (another experimental synth like Nick) is the one that saved him and had to knock him out because Nick was confused at the time and mistakenly fought him
The thing i like about the fallout universe is there are so many other worldly things that go on that completely still feel weird or cool alongside things like giant scorpions, green and yellow mutants, and giant killer lizards. Like ghosts, cryptid creatures, cthulu and eldritch mythos stuff like cults (and probably old gods too), possible time traveling (also the Doctor probably), and of course aliens. I wish they would put more of that stuff in more often.
Fun Fact: The Grandchester Mansion is more than likely based off of the "Winchester Mystery House", a supposedly (and quite famously) haunted home where the descendant of the famous Winchester Arms manufactuers built a house "On the orders of the spirits" she'd communicate with every night in a special seance room, the home was never completed technically as every single day a new thing was built. Much like the Grandchester Mansion, the WMH was filled with fake doors, stairs, windows and rooms, odd corridors which were tiny and hard to get through and super uneven levels making it really interesting to visit but easy to get lost in. The key difference here would be that they've taken the idea of the WMH and put an entirely new story on it, as the WMH's story is that the woman who was the descendant believed she was haunted by "All the spirits killed by the weapons which her family made" and to protect herself believed she had to make this house.
The Strangers Institute Theory combined with the Theory that we are a Synth, makes me theorize that it is possible that the Stranger is dispatched every time we are in danger, helping us shoot some bad guys and then teleported back to the Institute, Father wants to make sure we make it without giving there *experiment* away, for the past Strangers it can be the Institute did send it, but it could also be a reference for the institute, because it happened before they would not be suspected to dispatched a corsair to aid in combat. Added : It would explain why they always know where we are, what we did and what choices we made.

Would be funny if Deacon is actually the Grandchild of the soul Survivor
Marcus Zyker my son!!
It's be lived by some he's the lone wandrer
Marcus Zyker Nate has no brothers or sister, and his wife is dead. (Nate is the canonical survivor), so his bloodline is his, unless Shaun mated with someone, no. His bloodline is his.
pug dog thing man woman, yes unless he had an affair and that’s his great great grandson. Plot twist!
The main quest in the Fusion City Rising mod crowbars that theory into the game with some terminals and notes that also assert that Deacon is the Lone Wanderer, Shaun is James, and the James we interact with in Fallout 3 is a synth duplicate.
This is amazing just like all of your videos I could watch them all day not to say I haven't already.
The lonesome drifter has a weapon called ‘the mysterious magnum’ and whenever you draw or holster the weapon it plays some guitar notes
Another possibility for The Mysterious Stranger is an imperfect version of the serum used by the Cabbot family. Perhaps it causes him to age slower than the average human?
I'm not very familiar with the alien dlc, but the Zetans make another plausible explanation. If that 17th century samurai is still kickin', perhaps The Mysterious Stranger was abducted at some point, but he escaped? Whatever is keeping the samurai young could only be constant while on the ship. Perhaps it left a permanent residual effect on the stranger?
The Samurai was cryogenically frozen, there was unfortunately no immortal serum shenanigans.
Nate: he would by now be running around with a cane
me: he would be running around with a coffin that is more specific
Deacon being a time traveler is interesting. Google: Time traveler photo. Looks just like him.
...Theories...
1. The mysterious Stranger is the devil and taking the perk is vault dweller selling their soul
2. Deacon is the player character from Fallout 3 (he will sometimes say "Tunnel Snakes Rule" as a reference to "something he heard once").
3. The aliens in Fallout are the mutated dwarf population from Skyrim
4. The Gunners where Hired and Supplied By the institute. (they know about blood types and how to test for them [that is what their tattoos are on their forehead], they have extremely high level loot; most notably is the plasma weapons which the institute sells in their store, and finally when they captured that one synth [that the courser is after in the main story] it could have been the Gunners trying to negotiate a better deal for themselves.)
5. Preston is an idiot for living in Sanctuary instead of Vault 111. IT HAS PURIFIED WATER AND BEDS ALREADY, YOU PSYCHOPATH!!!!!
6. Ants can understand crazy people. both the ant-agonizer and the puppet guy from the official fallout comic use ants as allies with little to no effort.
...END OF LIST...
In Skyrim if you kill the ebony warrior will he be there in sovangarde?
Holly shit never thought of that
He won’t be unfortunately. Just watch MrRhexx’s video about the ebony warrior for more info.
Though i;m sure this has been answered but what happens if you kill Deacon in one of the towns while he's in disguise before you have any contact with The Railroad and meet him properly?
Noobie2k7 He is marked as essential I believe. I could be wrong though.
@@Noobie2k7 If his disguised self gets killed, he can still be encountered when you first meet the railroad.
Fun fact, the mysterious stranger's revolver is coded to instakill anything regardless of how much health it has
What if the Zetans are the main villains of StarField ? That’d be pretty cool 😎
I think that the Milton maze was made by one of the raider gangs from nuka world
Yeah its got similarities to the Gauntlet
Deacon be like.. "Wanna know how I got these scars...?"
Also forgot to mention if you scope outside the house you can see lucy on the 2nd floor window. Don't think she appears after it's all done
She does appear, I revisited the location again after finishing that quest and saw her standing on one of the second story windows.
@@RustyShacklefordddd ah. Well I never really went back after
@@michaelsisco2216 I only noticed her because I was at a different location and caught a glimpse of her through my sniper scope.
Of course I'm early to something spooky, and for the game I don't even play. Just can't resist those Nate notifications!
Ikr
I always assumed since you needed the perk from your pip-boy, that the mysterious stranger was simply another construct created by the ungodly powers of vault- tech's nice watch.
Maybe he is a Ghost too who helps people which need help. Maybe he is doomed to help people.
Well fallout new Vegas hints towards the fact he is actually some sort of physical entity as well who also had a child he abandoned.
@@ProperlyGaming I know I just never had that encounter while I played New Vegas
@@ProperlyGaming I just based my theory off of the fact that you need a perk to summon him and how it's been like that for every single game.
@@ProperlyGaming I mean it would have been the craziest thing your pip-boy has been able to do.
Deacon could be Railroad founder John Dee?
Could that be ‘John Dee’ as in the famous astrologer, spymaster and magician who served the very first Queen Elizabeth at her court?
And who was in contact with supposed Angels...who may well have been the Zetan aliens which the game implies have been watching over earth since at least the 16th century?
And that was the same century that Doctor John Dee lived in!
We know that Bethesda love to connect their stories to urban myths and things like the Lovecraft tales so this would be right up their street?
Incidentally John Dee was the first 007 because that was his spying code name for writing to the Queen, I believe?
Decon kinda reminds me of maynard james keenan, because whenever keenan preforms on stage he wears outfits to somewhat hide his identity.
I have an idea about the Mysterious Stranger:
What if the Mysterious Stranger is really a faction that operates around the U.S. by helping out the most “qualified” people around. The faction may be so devoted to their cause that they have stayed operating for all these years. I mean think about it, you need a perk to gain the mysterious stranger’s benefits. By the time you’ve gained a level and got that perk, you should have quite the name for yourself already. Sure, you don’t need to do anything drastic to level up, but these “strangers” could be monitoring you to see if you are the one. And hey, if they aren’t watching you... who knows, it could be Deacon...
I'm so glad you are still making fallout videos and know so much. Keep it up, your going great👍
The grandchester mystery mansion I think is a reference to the California Winchester mansion
Fun fact: by the time of Fallout 4, The Radiation levels should be near gone. So in 10 years or more the rads should be gone by now
"Not exactly a Disney movie"
That made me laugh so hard😂
WOW that Was so FUNNY HAHAHA... No
The mysterious stranger is stream sniping enemies
11:22 Deacon is Doctor Who.
12:42 Virgil's hiding places when he escaped institute.
Deacon is Johnny Cage who is accidentaly sent to fallout universe after kronika's death and start making histories in Railroad faction. There, that's my unpopular theory
I remember when you were barely at 200k. You grew up so fast! On the road to 1 million!
John Dee is a reference to a Scottish Occultist who worked for the queen and travelled around the world with a man who later became Shakepeare and is the reason for the Philosophers Stone being a well known thing.
Not for eternal life, mind you, but actually turning lead into gold.
An iteresting note to this would be that certain minerals are in the body and certain type of gold is supposed to have healing properties, I dont know how true that is though.
The really spooky thing is how Nate comes up with these vids
8:27 Don't you mean 6? I mean, yeah 76 is online only and has had a rocky start so far. But we can't exclude it from anything involving Fallout. Because he is in Fallout 76.
1. Fallout 1.
2. Fallout 2.
3. Fallout 3.
4. Fallout New Vegas.
5. Fallout 4.
6. Fallout 76.
Yeah I tried to play the mothership zeta DLC but then after going through the prison cells it didn't load. At all. Even when I uninstalled it and installed it again.
Fallout 3
10/10 -0-
It it just works
On Xbox load it up and hold belive y or a until the home screen comes on pc go into steam and clear the cache or something just Google it
fallout 3 and newer PCs doesn't go well
With tinker toms theory of deacon being a time traveler there could be a chance that he is the mysterious stranger in disguise because he is always secretly following you around
Mysterious stranger could be a ghost
Heeey prision mike, how's it been going with the soup while showering in your house?
@@pizzatimemanyodabatman3693 shut up
As far as the mystery of Deacon, he reminds me of the character of Elam Garak from Deep Space Nine. A former operative with the obsidian order who was exiled and found solace in the embrace of the greatest enemy of his people. He was fond of constructing elaborate and intricate lies as well as simple small lies, as he would say, why tell the truth when a lie will do?
When you're in the glowing sea and you see something move😓
the mysterious stranger is just preston garvey coming with you to look for settlements in need
[Spoilers]
I was hoping for less of a skeptic's approach to the first entry.
For the last entry: I found it a bit odd that you didn't mention the Firelance random encounter or the Wild Wasteland encounter with the trio of Zetans, in New Vegas.
Nonetheless, I like the video.
I went to that weird parking garage wannabe gauntlet too, and there wasn’t shit but traps. No caps in it either, unless you want a carrot and some buffout, you’re their lab rat
7:50 “Fallout 1”
*Shows screenshot of Fallout 2*
Austin Obenshain it was fallout 2
Wha- Nate said fallout 1 while should a fallout 2 screenshot so why.. why?
Clementine Protecter it just works
My first play through in fallout, after I finished a mission I heard the ufo flying by. But I guess nick just HAD to talk to me about our relationship RIGHT THERE and I was never able to find the ufo and I was pretty upset that I couldn’t get the alien blaster, but then later got it from the huboligist in the Nuka World DLC
The first one is legitimately terrifying
I don’t know why you’d want deacon as a follower or essentially disciple of the sole survivor.
Theory: I think deacon was highred by kellog/Institute to watch the sole surviver from the vault and keep track of them because the sole survivor is the "backup"
I love how he blasts the absolute crap out of that closet during the Granchester family
What about the terminal in the Cabot house that mentioned Decon in like year 2088
just blame everything on deacon. aliens? deacon alias. mysterious stranger? deacon. spooky ghost girl? yep, you guessed it, deacon.
Am I the only one disappointed they didn't use the blue "Ghost" effect any supposed ghost characters in the game?
Ghosts that appear to be fully alive can be more terrifying. Or, better yet, make them missing from the waiste down or move strangely by frame skipping. Oversized proportions or missing details like not having a face can really sell it. Its the unsettling that creates true fear.
Deacon actually has kept an eye on the sole survivor even before we left the vault, close to vault 111 is a chair and table with some water and a good view over the vaults opening that has a railroad sign. Ah there it came. I really wonders how he knew anyone old come out, maybe from the railroads contact in the Institute?
The UFO triggers when you reach level 20. I mostly manage to miss but my followers never misses it.
"What was that" they say and I can't reply with "what was what?"
Love fallout 4! I always Enjoy your videos, keep it up!
Dcard Dcardian, I don’t exactly like the story, but I really enjoyed the large map and many different NPC’s. This is just my opinion tough.
@Dcard Dcardian The plot was shit...I try to ignore it most of the time...
@Dcard Dcardian You didn't play the game.One question HAVE YOU GOT THE TRUE ENDING.
@@ajhiep4447 True ending?
I suggest doing a play through where the very first thing you do from the vault is head to the Railroad. Deacon’s dialogue changes.
Guess the Aliens don't follow the Prime Directive
Because the Prime Directive is for fools.
it is not logical
I would love it if, in the next fallout game, the mysterious stranger, when triggered, comes up behind the target and beats them with a cane or walker. Lol
I once had a fist fight with Zachariah when I was level 85 and he was still above my level but that fist fight lasted for 20 minutes but I eventually won
Lscott 2002 lol
It's been determined already that the lonesome drifter is the mysterious strangers son, there's a video on a youtuber called Oxford that goes into depth on this
Mysterious Stranger is actually just fallout protagonist's Stand.
I think it was mama Murphy who saw the sole survivor come out of vault 111. she even says that she saw him come out of that ice Box
Hey its nate here, ginormous (insert various synonyms for large).
I don’t know much about the fallout franchise but
The aliens were here throughout human history and there was a war on the moon against a foe
Could it be that the war was against the aliens after mankind discovered how they manipulated them
And so the aliens had to get rid of the proof so orchestrated the events leading up to the nuclear annihilation we see in the fallout franchise
Edit: the sea of tranquility mystery (war on the moon against an unknown instigator)
Holy shit that's smart
Biggest unsolved mystery...
Why Isn't Nate The Most Subscribed RUclips Channel?
Because he has an annoying voice. He sounds like a family character that pronounces everything trough his nose
No it wasn't
Jerks
Supernatural It can't be that annoying to you if you are in the comments section
@@Rudeljaeger And your comment is annoying, it makes you look immature to take the time to really reflect on his voice.
I guess the mysterious stranger could the previous protagonists. For example in fallout 2 the stranger is the protagonist of fallout 1 and fallout 3 stranger is the protagonist of fallout 2 and so on. The stranger in fallout 1 could be someone who is a experienced wastelander who decided to lend a hand to the vault dweller. He may have been someone curious who saw something in him or her. I mean when the fallout 1 jobs done he wasn’t allowed to enter the vault so may have been venturing the wasteland until he or she the chosen and saw the great potential. The chosen one destroyed the enclaves plans including the legendary frank hogan. After the chosen one job was done he decided to do the same and so on. This could explain the first mysterious stranger appearance change in every game and the experience of using stealth.
Wow that maze is named after me but I don't remember making it🤔
I think the mysterious stranger is a guardian angel tasked with aiding the protagonists of fallout games because they tend to do a lot of important things.
I hope/want you to do another mysteries video,but one of the topics should be about the sole survivor possibly being an Android(The First Android or at least a prototype)
7:30 Nick will also says a few things about the Mystery stranger, if you have Nick as a companion "hey look there he is" and other stuff like that if the mystery stranger show up
I’d be playing more FO4 but the damn thing won’t save anymore. Not even quick save. Yes even in non modded files
Rip
I just got the same problem today. Anyone know how to fix it??
BogaOca try redownloading the game, and yes it’ll save all your progress, modded and non modded characters alike. It’s sucks to wait for it to download but it could be the only way
Gekyume Onfroy only problem is when I did this, it didn’t keep the list of mods and had to somehow figure the order out
Plus it only worked for a few weeks for me
Every time he does a episode about fall out, it will be about the Nukaworld dlc
Maybe the mystery stranger is nick valentine the real one
hes been using cabots blood
regardless of past games, you could also try to explain the ghost girl with the real world's knowledge of ghostly apparitions and haunted houses. from what i remember, these happen in old houses due to un-insulated water pipes creating extremely low frequency sounds that cause primal fear and hallucinations in anything alive, playing on pre-existing fears deep within the subconsciousness/instincts.
Why is the "mysterious stranger", dressed like Nick Valentine?
Why is nick valentine dressed like the mysterious stranger ?
Why doesn't nick remember much other than waking up alone in the commonwealth?
@@OzwotWolf It makes you think , doesn't it. Is it possible the Mysterious stranger was Nick Valentine before the bombs dropped.?
@@1987mrbenn I honestly would love it if nick was the mysterious stranger, decectiving his way around post war usa and just mind wiping himself after he'd seen too much or in an attempt to remove his pre-war memory
@@OzwotWolf Nick's story is mostly explained in the Far Harbor DLC. He doesn't remember what happened because he was saved from the institute just as his new prewar memories were transfered and installed from a detective that had his brain experimentally scanned, and got knocked out and left in a pile of garbage by the one saving him. DiMa (another experimental synth like Nick) is the one that saved him and had to knock him out because Nick was confused at the time and mistakenly fought him
The thing i like about the fallout universe is there are so many other worldly things that go on that completely still feel weird or cool alongside things like giant scorpions, green and yellow mutants, and giant killer lizards.
Like ghosts, cryptid creatures, cthulu and eldritch mythos stuff like cults (and probably old gods too), possible time traveling (also the Doctor probably), and of course aliens.
I wish they would put more of that stuff in more often.
Two different places in goodneighbor that deacon shows up.
Fun Fact: The Grandchester Mansion is more than likely based off of the "Winchester Mystery House", a supposedly (and quite famously) haunted home where the descendant of the famous Winchester Arms manufactuers built a house "On the orders of the spirits" she'd communicate with every night in a special seance room, the home was never completed technically as every single day a new thing was built. Much like the Grandchester Mansion, the WMH was filled with fake doors, stairs, windows and rooms, odd corridors which were tiny and hard to get through and super uneven levels making it really interesting to visit but easy to get lost in. The key difference here would be that they've taken the idea of the WMH and put an entirely new story on it, as the WMH's story is that the woman who was the descendant believed she was haunted by "All the spirits killed by the weapons which her family made" and to protect herself believed she had to make this house.
Nate, I thought we already told you-
iT mAkEs SeNsE iF wE dOn'T tHiNk AbOuT iT xD
The Strangers Institute Theory combined with the Theory that we are a Synth, makes me theorize that it is possible that the Stranger is dispatched every time we are in danger, helping us shoot some bad guys and then teleported back to the Institute, Father wants to make sure we make it without giving there *experiment* away, for the past Strangers it can be the Institute did send it, but it could also be a reference for the institute, because it happened before they would not be suspected to dispatched a corsair to aid in combat. Added : It would explain why they always know where we are, what we did and what choices we made.
