This, and other CC’s fallout lore compilations, are what I listen to at work to pass the time and stay interested, and I’m very grateful to you for putting them in the all together format 🙏
Addendum to the self destructing protectrons: All robots turn to self destruct mode when they run out of robots. A fun fact is mr handies will resort to using their pincers when they have no other weapons. This is the only time they will use them as their the lowest damage weapon at their disposal. Additionally after some experiments with the robot parts, mr handy thrusters and sentry bot tracks are the only parts that cannot be fully crippled before the bot usually dies. At least in my experience.
The Sole Survivor is not a synth. They are effected by radiation and they have numerous pre-war memories that no other Institute characters know. Plus pre-war robots out in the wasteland identify the Sole Survivor as a pre-war citizen.
It's not wrong what you're saying but there are also some other hints in the game that the Sole Survivor is actually a synth. Dima says that it's strange that the first memory is from the day the bombs fell. Dr. Carrington sometimes says that it's strange that you and Glory don't trigger metal detectors and Glory is a synth we all know that. How does the Doc know that? My guess is that his prototype from the quest Tradecraft is a scanner to identify synths. When you enter the dungeon of the mechanist there's a door that opens automatically after the first door Ada opens. When you approach the door it says "no life signs detected". The last point is just pure logic: everyone in Vault 111 is dead because the cryo chambers malfunctioned a long time ago. There is just no reason why the Sole Survivor would survive that. But your points are valid. I think it's just another thing Bethesda really messed up. It seems like half the dev team thought the player is a human and the other half thought he/she's a synth.
@DaWurfmaul But your first memory isn't the day the bombs drop. Several times in the game you can talk about pre war thing. Silver Shroud and Baseball are just too examples
@@derekmensch3601 There's also the Graygarden quest in which the SS displays a fairly familiar knowledge of a pre-war inventor, referencing having seen them on TV
Nick saying "i've worked with him a few times." Is so easy to just pass over but I love the idea of nick actively asking dogmeat for help on cases that might stump him
Best boy is just a helpful boy! I also only join the BoS to watch him salute. Literally the only reason why I join them. If Dogmeat accepts it, I do too!
I just noticed that there's the sound of a casing hitting the ground when Kellogg shoots Nora in the memory (1:26:54), despite the fact that he's using a revolver which doesn't eject the casings.
Re: the bird cameras The locations displayed on the screens are also places involved in the main quest before the player reaches the institute, implying they've been watching you since the day you left the vault. I mean yeah, given they're the ones who let you out.
Also, it's a reference to Odin's Ravens. According to Norse myth, Odin have 2 Ravens (Huginn and Muninn) that flies across the Nine Realms to literally spy on everything and reports back to him
I think the Vault 101 jumpsuit should have been included in a small museum on the prydwen, alongside some other fo3 stuff. Give the lone wanderers affiliation with the brotherhood and important role in the defeat of the enclave it would make sense.
My personal head cannon is that the devs intended for someone from Vault 101 to make an appearance (maybe Amata or Butch) and they would be wearing it (for Butch my reasoning is the option to get his Tunnel Snake jacket by saving his mom in FO3 causes him to resort to using his vault suit again). I figure by this point in time, if Vault 101 wasn't wiped out by raiders or in-fighting, they would be in a similar shape to Vault 81, being able to go out and trade/explore the world
Given the in-universe propaganda the Brotherhood are already indulging in (I do *not* believe Maxson killed a deathclaw with just a knife at age 13, guy's good but he's not *that* good), is it really a surprise that they're downplaying the role the Lone Wanderer played? Hero worship for *them* might mean less hero worship for Maxson, after all.
@@UrLeingod That's why Maxson made sure people don't talk much about the Lone Wanderer or Sarah Lyons. Those two were actually more Legendary than Maxson.
I'm surprised that you didn't mention that at the Fraternal Post in addition to the terminal entry, one can activate the microphone on the stage and Nate once again says the iconic, "War Never Changes"
For why nuka cola cans aren’t found often I think it has to do with them being rare before the bombs fell. With the whole world being at war I’m pretty sure most metal would’ve all been used up to help the war effort. What little was left probably wouldn’t have been used on soft drinks. So aluminum cans would’ve been way too expensive to mass produce.
Grabbing the barbells is super easy, just command your follower to pick it up and they'll grab it without checking their current weight. I cleared out the entire gym this way, made Preston swole af bringing it all back to my base
I jumped from the Mass Fusion building into Goodneighbor before in Power Armor. Although, previously, I scared Wolfgang off from Drumlin Diner and he was standing at the enterance. My velocity was kept and when I spawned in I power landed and injured or killed Wolfgang and got in a shootout with the rest of Goodneighbor
I looked 2 hours ago for fallout 4 facts. Just checked again and you made over an hour of my work day much better. Thank you for getting me through another day
@Expanding Uranus I do the same thing at work, I do insulation like in crawl spaces and attics and I just pop my air pods in and my day goes so much easier
About the lunchboxes, I realized recently that I could quicksave before opening them to guarantee a robot model (or whatever else) if I felt like putting a few minutes of time into it.I don’t know why it never occurred to me to do after so long
All of the useless facts about Fallout-series are useful facts to a Fallout fan, knowing these things makes the games even more immersive and interesting. Love it!
I just downloaded it cause its free on my ps5 sub.. can’t believe i never tried it.. im completely addicted and this video was 1,000% useful information lol
13:38 I think this might be a Doom reference. The Doomslayer had a pet rabbit (I think named Daisy) who, of course, was killed by demons. He kept her foot as a charm and went to war with the demons over her.
31:13 Some people have also mentioned that this could be a reference to an episode of Gravity Falls where Mabel crosses out a piece of graffiti saying "you suck" and writes "you look nice today" beside it. I believe the episode is called The Inconveniencing
This is probably one of the more known little facts, but when you come to Hardware Town for the first time, a raider pretending to be a civilian who needs help saving someone inside will ask you to follow her in, causing a raider ambush. However, if you enter from the back loading area, the raiders will wait, vocally annoyed that you arent coming in. You can then ambush them in the same way they planned to do to you.
Another interesting thing, is that if you wait around outside in the back, you can listen to an ODD but amusing story that one raider tells the other. About a guy who came threw throwing grenades and then ran away on a motorcycle. I usually listen to the story all the way through. And then throw a grenade at them 😁
1:09:30 in addition, the 108th Infantry is a real world National Guard Unit. It makes more sense for Nate to have been mobilized from the National Guard than tha Active Army as he then has the potential for any back story the player wants to make up for him and it doesn't break the fact that he was in the Army.
@@chioklen they are technically the last line of defense from an invading force behind the navy and the bulk "army" But they are mainly used for water search and rescue as well as stopping some drug smuggling/ human trafficking across the water. It's a full time job on coastal states and more emergency dispatch to disaster areas
I think it's a different experience from 3 and New Vegas but entertaining in it's own right. Settlement building is my jam, it's handy to have a bunch of killbots running your supply lines. When I see a bright pink sentrybot wandering by I know help is on the way.
They say it's because it's not as good as 3 and NV. I fully plan to boot up my ps3 someday and play them to see if i feel the same. The age of those games may turn me off but I'll give it a fair shot and see what the story is like.
Tbh I think Fallout 4 is way better than 3 if you take away nostalgia of 3 being many peoples first fallout. New Vegas is undisputed champ but at this point 4 is kind of underrated
The Homerun one surprised me. The kids in Diamond City often run the bases and some of the guard's passive dialogue to you are about running the bases.
I straight up thought you had to do something finicky with a weapon and it would be super hard. I only learned it this year when I had a fallout itch. Same with the touchdown achievement. But that one I got by gameplay 😅
I've always preferred Hangman's Alley for survival, you can link the workbenches to the other settlements for easier crafting and building If I could link Home Plate to my other settlements then it'd definitely be my go to
I got that home very early on my very first playthrough in 2015, but I was obsessed with collecting players homes in skyrim, and I thought it was a super cool fully customisable thing where I could use the city for crafting. Needless to say I was very dissapointed 😂
Worth noting that if you sided with Lorenzo to get the Mysterious Serum, and then you use it to save Andre, Lorenzo gets upset and permanently cuts you off from your lifetime supply.
The Lucky Rabbit’s Foot was probably either a reward from the Pack (animal theme) or an item in Dry Rock Gulch, I personally would’ve loved to see this concept of non-grenades you might lob and lose in a panic.
I remember someone saying it was supposed to be a random drop from one of the people that didn't make it through the gauntlet. A really miniscule chance though
I love how the video started with no intro, so tired of RUclipsrs doing these 3-minute intros, just getting to the point of the video right away is so nice.
I never thought The Sole Survivor was a synth, theres just to much info that disproves it, I always assumed we had the ability to do ' V.A.T.S ' without a Pipboy because of our military background, youd have to get pretty good in combat to be in the army and for the argument ' well what about Nora ' itd be safe to assume that Nate the husband character taught Nora how to shoot/defend herself in case ever needed.
@@pwnjangles2276 it also doesn't make sense that the game calls it the vault tec assisted targeting system, why would the institute use their 200 year old tech.
Vats is quite literally a vault tech assisted targeting system. Taking it literally, I'd wager that the pipboy is also a targeting computer that our character uses. It could very well be as simple as that, hence why all of our characters are able to use vats to the same degree
I've always assumed the "You look nice today!" trap is a reference to Gravity Falls. A little more than three years before Fallout 4 was released, the Gravity Falls episode "The Inconveniencing" was aired. In that episode, Mabel sees some graffiti that reads "You Stink!" and crosses it out, replacing it with the message, "You look nice today!" At the end of the episode, Mabel (after a traumatic evening of being haunted by ghosts, on top of eating sugar until she hallucinated) sees her "You look nice today!" message again and says, "What kind of sick joke is this?" Of course, this gag in FO4 definitely ends up being a sick (and potentially deadly) joke. "You look nice today!" is a common enough phrase, though, that the whole thing could be coincidence.
At Beantown Brewery Preston will say that his favorite drink is a Gwinnett Stout. If you go to Quincy Ruins you can see that the bar there sold Gwinnett Stout, possibly explaining why it was his favorite.
Fallout 4 will always be my favourite entry in this franchise, I dont care if it’s story was mediocre, exploring the commonwealth, Nuka-World and the Island never gets old
I mean I’ve always kinda agreed with the “terrible fallout great adventure/survival/whatever game” because say what you want but it is a really fun game especially the building, fuck the settlers I’m tryna get a cozy base to live in
@@a_catfish5180 I have 1700 hours in the game and a decent chunk of that is spent with maximizing every settlement, Bethesda really hit the nail on the head with that mechanic and I hope they continue to include it in future entries
@@primary2630 it isn't really a roleplaying game. The institute and brotherhood feel like the only thought out endings and as far as character creation goes, you are Nate. You can't really be anyone else. Not attacking you or anything and fallout 4 is my favorite fallout but I hated the game for a brief period SOULY bc they cut down on the roleplaying (now I don't mind it makes up for it)
The VATS before having a pip boy thing is more than likely just an oversight by bethesda. If the sole survivor were a synth, then there's no way Shaun would just kick them out of the institute, he'd just use the sole survivors recall code if that were the case.
That's good thought but farther wants the sole survivor to succeed him it's likely that they dont have a recall code to stop other Institute members using it on the sole survivor after they take over.
@@RockSolidDave but it its father that kicks you out, so if you were a synth, he himself would use the recall code. Dima likes to make people question whether or not they're really human... because he's a prick.
The Sole Survivor as a synth idea is that the Sole Survivor is a Gen 4 synth, basically a superhuman and no longer meant to be limited like Gen 3s are. Shaun wants the Sole Survivor to succeed him, so it would make sense not to have a recall code so another Institute member can’t find and use it. Finally, nothing the Institute does is logical and letting loose a Gen 4 synth just to see what will happen, with no contingency plan, is exactly the kind of hubris that characterizes the Institute.
@QualityPen that still doesn't explain how the robots on the USS constitution know that nate is an Army veteran, theres simply just not enough evidence that the sole survivor is a synth.
@@JonathanH1253 Cause nate was a vet the real one anyway the synth is a perfect copy made by people who have had years to improve their tech how is a mr handy one thats gon 200 years without human maintenance supposed to know if the Soul Survivor is a synth or not?
Knowing how strong Mama Murphy is makes her story about taking down a Deathclaw a lot more believable Guess she wasnt called Murphy the Madwoman for nothing, after all
In the automatron dlc, there's a great shortcut to avoid that hellish slog. Get the department heads' holo-tapes, unlock the elevator terminal and play the the department heads names and it'll let you bypass the whole thing, sneak up behind the Mechanist and have an easier time dealing with them.
@@Glenn_Quagmire you don't necessarily know who the original or this Mechanist is. They sound like, potentially, a dude but you find that they're Isabel. She realizes her errors, but I wasn't presuming her gender as a bit of role-playing, because technically you don't know anything about her until she reveals herself. Using the tape trick, you cause the Mechanist to panic, and reveal herself sooner with no fight(I mean, you can just shoot before the Mechanist notices you). English is a funny language.
1:19:21 the timeline in fallout doesn't actually cleanly split at any point in time for example, the earliest confirmed divergence afaik is the Samurai the Zetans kidnapped in mothership Zeta while the Lovecraftian elements you can find in the various games are definitely from earlier but an unknown time. It's easier to imagine Fallout's timeline and ours as two overlapped lines that sometime diverge. Though sometime after ww2 Fallout did entirely split from our own.
Lorenzo probably predates the samurai since he was born in 1835 and was a notable public figure. But the timeline diverges even before then because the lost city of Ubar he finds is supposedly 4,000 years old. I agree with you in that there is no one branching off point from our world to the fallout world, it’s more like a weird linked timeline.
I was under the impression that there was a clear branching point. The fallout universe never created the semiconductor chip. That’s the point where our timeline branches off from theirs. That’s why their computers still use vacuum tubes and bulbs for computing gates.
When you mentioned the really easy achievement for running the bases around Diamond City, the way I learned to run the bases a Diamond City guard actually said to me while walking passed him to run the bases which i was surprised to get the achievement afterwards
So no mention of the murder scene from the museum next to swan. Inside the building check through the windows at night and you will find a murder scene
55:00- in case you didn't know, the reason this is a big deal is because that wall is known as the Green Monster. It's a huge part of baseball history and particularly Fenway Park's history. Every baseball fan knows about the monster
My theory on the rabbits foot would be that they we’re going to implement accessory items to equip along with your armor. My guess is that they couldn’t quite get it to work and the closest they got was to equip it as a weapon
On a whim, I just started another fallout 4 playthrough, and it's the first time with any DLC, I am currently wearing the Machinist armor and honestly having a blast with the game. I haven't played it in years.
The drifter at 50:15 is a reference to Granny Rags in Dishonored I think. Sounds like her, wears rags as an outift, she loves her "ratties" and comes across as insane, just like Granny Rags.
haha me too. i always have to have some sort of audio playing when i fall asleep and it influences my dreams heavily. last spring, i fell asleep to documentaries about ancient egypt every night and i dreamt about pyramids, temples, and labyrinths for 3 months straight.
@@heretech7025 lol i went on a huge space kick for about a month back in january. i had these two recurring dreams that each happened three or four times. the dreams were different in many ways, but the setting and conflict of the dreams were always the same. one didn’t have a conflict that i remember, but the whole premise of it was that there was a space amusement / discovery park. the main attraction was a ride that allowed you to guide a vessel to the moon and back. the first time i had this dream, this particular ride was actually on a rail; the other two or three times, it was in free flight that you guided yourself. the other recurring dream always occurred in this extremely large complex that was a mall, a hospital, a hotel, and an airport for space travel all at once. the first time i had this dream, the conflict was about this random girl who had acquired a ticket for flight from a family member of mine because he didnt want it. she was going to take the flight, but i had to distract the employees so that she could not get recognized as the incorrect ticket holder. all the other times, the conflict was about me not only having great difficulty navigating this complex, but it also getting stuck in these flight pods that looked a lot like elevators, and i would get stuck in them and not be able to figure out how to open them before takeoff.
@@angusperson4222 my father actually doesnt have dreams; says he hasnt had one in maybe 15 years now. dreams are very entertaining and can bring a lot of thoughts and ideas to the forefront of your mind that were repressed within the subconscious. sometimes this is good, sometimes it’s nerve-wracking, and it can also be depressing depending on the content.
I'll add to this. There is so much more. At the intro cinematic and character creation, Nate is rehearsing his speech that you metnioned. In the Fraternal Post - if you engage the microphone there, both Nate and Nora will recite the line 'War never changes' as a callback to that. When meeting the Railroad at their base, Deacon will tell Desdemona who you are. If you go there following the quest log, he'll mention you're a Vault Dweller, maybe the general of the minutemen, and that's it. But he'll actually list a *whole* bunch of things that you've done. If you go to them late game, he'll never shut up. During the Memory Lounger bit, as well as when exploring Kellog's memories, you will actually look like you did during at the time of the real event - even if you changed your appearance after. In Far Harbor, you can find a literal radio shack. Inside there's some tech and a radio tuned to Diamond City Radio. If you did the Confidence Man quest, a note will read something like; 'Wow, that guy is so smooth, I can't believe it's the same guy!" - Not a clue if there's a note if you didn't do it. If you approach the Mechanist dressed as the Silver Shroud, there's some fun extra dialogue there as you can 'Speak as Shroud', which is hilarious. Also, if you have maxed hacking and lockpicking, it's possible to skip the *entire* Mechanist's final dungeon and go straight into the Mechanist's room. She will go; 'Oh, well, so much for the most secure facility in the country' and surrenders right there and then. This is a fairly obvious one, but clicking on the Law Degree in 2077, indicates that Nora is a lawyer. The Mr Handy at the USS Constitution will actually mention that, too. It's actually not just the Vault Tec rep that has the 'SPECIAL' clipboard. Everyone holding a clipboard in the entire game, will have that one. A handful of callbacks and references to older titles: The most obvious one is Kellog, a former agent of the NCR, a major faction in most previous titles. MacCready was the mayor of Little Lamplight in Fallout 3 Sierra Petrovita - the one with the Cappy Glasses Quest in Nuka World - was in Fallout 3, too. The Institute and synths was already mentioned in Fallout 3. You can find Dr Zimmer in Rivet City, who at the time, is the head of the SRB. He is mentioned at least twice when exploring the institute. In FO3, he is looking for Dr. Madison Lee, working on Prime for the Brotherhood. Of course, in FO4, the Brotherhood wants you to re-recruit Li, now working for the Institute. Arthur Maxson was on the Citadel in Fallout 3, and a child. That makes him... early 20's by the time of Fallout 4. His last name suggests he is a descendant of the original founder mentioned in Fallout 1, though. That's probably mentioned in FO3 somewhere, but I can't recall. The Children of Atom originated in Megaton from Fallout 3, the Hubologists are a cult from Fallout 2. The 'You're Special Book' is a callback to Fallout 3, where you started as a baby and you used that book to pick your skills. There's a raider in Power Armor at Outpost ZImonja with a Fat Man, named Boomer. Boomers in New Vegas were more or less the same enemy.
Yeah Maxson tells you himself in FO3 everyone treats him like nobility cause he's descended from the founder and expect him to be basically a super human because he has a "soul of steel"
About the pre-war globes thing showed in 21 minute. If you look closely at them, you should notice that in the northern europe part the Baltic sea isn't coloured blue, but like the rest of landmass. Either it's just a miss from the Bethesda to paint it correctly, or in Fallout universe the Baltic sea somehow dried up(even though it is connected with the North sea through 4 straits: Danish, Kattegat, Skagerrak and Limfjorden). Maybe some big companies cut it off from the neighbouring sea to dry it and build something there? who knows!
Theres also a mistake on the Periodic table. Thallium should be Tl (small L) but here it's written as Ti which is Titanium. Also the open slot next to Hydrogen is weird.
My all-time favorite location in all of Fallout is the saw dungeon-esque parking lot next to I believe it was Milton General Hospital. I was trying to get into the hospital for an electromagnet, but didn't feel like going through the entire thing, so I went through the garage next door with a bridge to the hospital. But I got way more than I bargained for, it's like a base game nuka world gauntlet!
50:00 I believe that woman is a reference to Granny Raggs from Dishonored. In that game she called the rats that plagued the city of Dunwall "Birdies", so, "Ratties" isn't far off I suppose. It's also a similar pattern of speech.
19:20 On my main save I've been saving up pre war money and recently reached 5k but when I go to back alley bowling they just tell me the lanes are closed, with no option for further dialogue. any ideas why?
Lucky Rabbit's foot drops in Nuka world during the gauntlet. It's a rare chance but a corpse in there can spawn with it. It wasnt cut from the game it's just very rare to find it
I figure one reason for the low numbers on that baseball bases achievement is that a lot of people outside USA and a few Asian countries just aren't that familiar with baseball. I wouldn't have known those things on the ground were actually something specific... (assuming the stats are worldwide)
Fallout 4's achievements are hidden before you obtain them. Unless you go to an external site to look up achievements, there's no way to know what they are before you get them. Most players aren't going to run the bases for no reason, so what you're left with is an achievement that's easy to do but obfuscated enough that only dedicated achievement hunters are even going to know about it
Yeah. For example, im brazilian and baseball is one of the least played sports around here. Actually, i never once seen someone playing or meet someone who at least played once, so i literally dont know anything about is rules or concepts, expect that it has something to do with a ball and a bat
There's a base and a ball. You throw the ball at the base, but if someone hits it with their stick then their team of people in army hats and leggings run (the wrong way) around a circle. If you run around the circle without falling over or being hit with the ball, that's called a home run. If the stickmen miss the ball then they lose after 3 misses and the other team takes their turn at swinging the stick. It's basically cricket for kids but in a circle. I think. I've never watched or played a game, I've just seen it in movies.
I really like the idea of the lucky rabbit's foot. Like, the idea of trading the ability to have a thrown secondary weapon for a non-damaging trinket that increases a stat or giving you a buff of some sort. Wish they would've explored that idea more tbh
The bit about the sole survivor going around trying to find a store that will accept his charge card was hilarious to me, it reminds me of something you'd see in American dad.
Home plate (diamond city residency) has always been my favourite place too set up base, although it can not be included into supply lines it's the perfect location to set up. You can store as much as you like in the workbench without worrying about triggering raids from enemies. You have vendors directly outside so it's perfect for all your selling needs
Sucks that you can't include supply lines though. I love using supply lines and being able to drop my crap, save and craft at the closest settlement at any given time. Plus Hangman's Alley is just a stroll away from DC. Usually I have so much purified water to sell I need my full set of 6 settlement vendors, everyone in Bunker Hill, Goodneighbor and DC to sell everything, all of them with +500 caps capacity. I get 15k worth of caps from a run, don't even know what to do with it lol.
Just the fact that this video is only 1 hour and 30 minutes and the new vegas one was over 3 hours goes to show how much more detail Obsidian includes in their games compared to Bethesda. While not terrible, Fallout 4 was certainly one of the weaker entries in the series.
when i start a new game of FO4 i always go for the power armor before getting into the museum. it takes practice but you can jump from the roof of the church onto the tail of the vertibird and if you grab any of the other easy fusion cores or even get the ones from the robot disposal site you're set with out having to deal with Preston.
I use these videos to help me fall asleep. Love hearing information about a topic I enjoy in a measured and calming tone, each night I work out where I remember upto and go from there. Thank you so much for your service
I knew about the Diamond City home, I found the elevator while I was doing my usual "sticking my nose into every corner of everywhere" kind of exploration. LOL. It can be quite a useful settlement, in fact, if you use it right.
I have been playing this game since day one. I have 13 completed characters and months of playtime on this game. I did not know about the homerun achievement until today. Thank you!
I feel like Dogmeat showing up at red rocket was a last minute change to give him to you off the rip. Bc honestly the alternate way of meeting him is way funnier and memorable, plus the fact he's labeled as dog until Nick says his name so you woulda had a little laugh immediately followed by "oh shit! My boy!"
I think the reason we don’t find intact cans of Nukacola around is because most of the metal used in manufacturing cans would love gone towards the war effort and in turn would’ve made it much more effective to just use glass with a small metal cap
9:56 there is a terminal entry in the robobrain factory that mentions a story about the researchers. Apparently it was one researcher’s birthday, so they made a brain shaped “cake”. I say “cake” because all they did was cover an *actual brain with frosting and serve the researcher a slice* That item could be a reference to that.
For the home run achievement, on steam all achievements for Fallout 4 are hidden until you unlock them, I had to make an excel spreadsheet to figure put which achievements I needed when going to 100% the game. I think that could be the reasoning behind the low numbers for that one, but that’s only steam numbers
The rust devils have to be the smartest gang in the commonwealth but we're did they come from did the build up strength in the commonwealth or did they come from outside like the forged.I really should make fallout videos
I think you hit the nail on the head regarding Fallout 4. People say that the storyline is crap but there's so many hidden gems and subtle references as well as loads of side quests and things to do and places to explore
These are my previously uploaded shorts, all sorted into a video containing only the facts from Fallout 4.
Could you please edit out everytime u say fallout 4 same with the other vids u just uploaded gets really annoying
Could you please not nitpick such a dumb thing on FREE content, it's really annoying. Thanks :)
This, and other CC’s fallout lore compilations, are what I listen to at work to pass the time and stay interested, and I’m very grateful to you for putting them in the all together format 🙏
Addendum to the self destructing protectrons:
All robots turn to self destruct mode when they run out of robots. A fun fact is mr handies will resort to using their pincers when they have no other weapons. This is the only time they will use them as their the lowest damage weapon at their disposal.
Additionally after some experiments with the robot parts, mr handy thrusters and sentry bot tracks are the only parts that cannot be fully crippled before the bot usually dies. At least in my experience.
Ah ok that explains why you say "in fallout 4" repetitively even though the title is fallout 4.
The Sole Survivor is not a synth. They are effected by radiation and they have numerous pre-war memories that no other Institute characters know. Plus pre-war robots out in the wasteland identify the Sole Survivor as a pre-war citizen.
It's not wrong what you're saying but there are also some other hints in the game that the Sole Survivor is actually a synth. Dima says that it's strange that the first memory is from the day the bombs fell. Dr. Carrington sometimes says that it's strange that you and Glory don't trigger metal detectors and Glory is a synth we all know that. How does the Doc know that? My guess is that his prototype from the quest Tradecraft is a scanner to identify synths. When you enter the dungeon of the mechanist there's a door that opens automatically after the first door Ada opens. When you approach the door it says "no life signs detected". The last point is just pure logic: everyone in Vault 111 is dead because the cryo chambers malfunctioned a long time ago. There is just no reason why the Sole Survivor would survive that.
But your points are valid. I think it's just another thing Bethesda really messed up. It seems like half the dev team thought the player is a human and the other half thought he/she's a synth.
@DaWurfmaul But your first memory isn't the day the bombs drop. Several times in the game you can talk about pre war thing. Silver Shroud and Baseball are just too examples
@@derekmensch3601 There's also the Graygarden quest in which the SS displays a fairly familiar knowledge of a pre-war inventor, referencing having seen them on TV
@@DaWurfmaul I always figured that quote from doc Carrington was about how your have 200lbs of guns armor and ammo, just as glory has the big minigun
All that stuff could've been loaded onto their memory , I mean the ss being a synth is actually not far fetched at all
Nick saying "i've worked with him a few times." Is so easy to just pass over but I love the idea of nick actively asking dogmeat for help on cases that might stump him

I just noticed that there's the sound of a casing hitting the ground when Kellogg shoots Nora in the memory (1:26:54), despite the fact that he's using a revolver which doesn't eject the casings.
His gun was originally supposed to be a legendary variant of the 10mm but they changed it to the magnum. They forgot to remove the sound effect lol

Re: the bird cameras
The locations displayed on the screens are also places involved in the main quest before the player reaches the institute, implying they've been watching you since the day you left the vault.
I mean yeah, given they're the ones who let you out.
Also, it's a reference to Odin's Ravens. According to Norse myth, Odin have 2 Ravens (Huginn and Muninn) that flies across the Nine Realms to literally spy on everything and reports back to him

I think the Vault 101 jumpsuit should have been included in a small museum on the prydwen, alongside some other fo3 stuff. Give the lone wanderers affiliation with the brotherhood and important role in the defeat of the enclave it would make sense.
Plus Dr. Li from Fallout 3 is also in Fallout 4
My personal head cannon is that the devs intended for someone from Vault 101 to make an appearance (maybe Amata or Butch) and they would be wearing it (for Butch my reasoning is the option to get his Tunnel Snake jacket by saving his mom in FO3 causes him to resort to using his vault suit again). I figure by this point in time, if Vault 101 wasn't wiped out by raiders or in-fighting, they would be in a similar shape to Vault 81, being able to go out and trade/explore the world
Given the in-universe propaganda the Brotherhood are already indulging in (I do *not* believe Maxson killed a deathclaw with just a knife at age 13, guy's good but he's not *that* good), is it really a surprise that they're downplaying the role the Lone Wanderer played? Hero worship for *them* might mean less hero worship for Maxson, after all.
@@UrLeingod That's why Maxson made sure people don't talk much about the Lone Wanderer or Sarah Lyons. Those two were actually more Legendary than Maxson.

For why nuka cola cans aren’t found often I think it has to do with them being rare before the bombs fell. With the whole world being at war I’m pretty sure most metal would’ve all been used up to help the war effort. What little was left probably wouldn’t have been used on soft drinks.
So aluminum cans would’ve been way too expensive to mass produce.
No it's because you couldn't find a can of soda in the 1950s they didn't put drinks in cans they put food in cans. They put drinks in glass

31:13 Some people have also mentioned that this could be a reference to an episode of Gravity Falls where Mabel crosses out a piece of graffiti saying "you suck" and writes "you look nice today" beside it. I believe the episode is called The Inconveniencing
This is probably one of the more known little facts, but when you come to Hardware Town for the first time, a raider pretending to be a civilian who needs help saving someone inside will ask you to follow her in, causing a raider ambush. However, if you enter from the back loading area, the raiders will wait, vocally annoyed that you arent coming in. You can then ambush them in the same way they planned to do to you.
Also, if you wait long enough to listen to their conversation, the raider in charge will shoot one of its own. Bullets saved!
If you shoot the disguised raider, your companion will not act as if you just killed an innocent even though thats what it looked like
I found out this on my first playthrough in 2015 and I felt so smart and proud lol 😂 very stupid, but I did
Another interesting thing, is that if you wait around outside in the back, you can listen to an ODD but amusing story that one raider tells the other. About a guy who came threw throwing grenades and then ran away on a motorcycle.
I usually listen to the story all the way through. And then throw a grenade at them 😁
1:09:30 in addition, the 108th Infantry is a real world National Guard Unit. It makes more sense for Nate to have been mobilized from the National Guard than tha Active Army as he then has the potential for any back story the player wants to make up for him and it doesn't break the fact that he was in the Army.
@Expanding Uranus They do count as Army enlisted, they just serve part time and are state funded rather than fully federally funded
@Expanding Uranus or a intellectual IRS agent in disguise as a sole survivo. Funny profile name too
@Expanding Uranus lol the National Guard did alot of the fighting in Iraq. In Afghanistan aswell.
@@chioklen they are technically the last line of defense from an invading force behind the navy and the bulk "army"
But they are mainly used for water search and rescue as well as stopping some drug smuggling/ human trafficking across the water.

@@liquidsleepgames3661 Don't know too much about the Guard, I'm AD.
I'm fully aware that lots of folks hate this game. But boy, I do love Fallout 4. Thanks for this video!
I think it's a different experience from 3 and New Vegas but entertaining in it's own right. Settlement building is my jam, it's handy to have a bunch of killbots running your supply lines. When I see a bright pink sentrybot wandering by I know help is on the way.
Fallout 4 is awesome beyond words. I do a complete play through at least once a year.
Much better than 76
They say it's because it's not as good as 3 and NV. I fully plan to boot up my ps3 someday and play them to see if i feel the same. The age of those games may turn me off but I'll give it a fair shot and see what the story is like.
Tbh I think Fallout 4 is way better than 3 if you take away nostalgia of 3 being many peoples first fallout. New Vegas is undisputed champ but at this point 4 is kind of underrated
The Homerun one surprised me. The kids in Diamond City often run the bases and some of the guard's passive dialogue to you are about running the bases.
I straight up thought you had to do something finicky with a weapon and it would be super hard. I only learned it this year when I had a fallout itch.
Same with the touchdown achievement. But that one I got by gameplay 😅
I'm surprised you only just found out about Home Plate, that's been one of my go-to safehouses since my very first playthrough of Fallout 4!
Great for survival mode as well
I've always preferred Hangman's Alley for survival, you can link the workbenches to the other settlements for easier crafting and building
If I could link Home Plate to my other settlements then it'd definitely be my go to
So we're not talking about that hes never talked to geneva because if he did i think he would know about home plate 🤷♂️
I got that home very early on my very first playthrough in 2015, but I was obsessed with collecting players homes in skyrim, and I thought it was a super cool fully customisable thing where I could use the city for crafting. Needless to say I was very dissapointed 😂
Worth noting that if you sided with Lorenzo to get the Mysterious Serum, and then you use it to save Andre, Lorenzo gets upset and permanently cuts you off from your lifetime supply.
The Lucky Rabbit’s Foot was probably either a reward from the Pack (animal theme) or an item in Dry Rock Gulch, I personally would’ve loved to see this concept of non-grenades you might lob and lose in a panic.

I love how the video started with no intro, so tired of RUclipsrs doing these 3-minute intros, just getting to the point of the video right away is so nice.
15 minute video, 8 minutes of content. Who wouldn't love that? XD
Literally came here in frustration having wasted a 5 min intro that used shock and vitriol to the point I had actually lost interest.
As someone who hates the Red Sox, finding out that I can change the color of the Green Monster made me immediately start a new play through.
I always give my provisioners mining helmets so that I can see them walking around at night.
I use automatrons, but with the sentry head for the red light!
Omg why have I never thought of this.
I never thought The Sole Survivor was a synth, theres just to much info that disproves it, I always assumed we had the ability to do ' V.A.T.S ' without a Pipboy because of our military background, youd have to get pretty good in combat to be in the army and for the argument ' well what about Nora ' itd be safe to assume that Nate the husband character taught Nora how to shoot/defend herself in case ever needed.
I surmised that Nora was in JAG and she met Nate while in service. She would have had basic small arms training.
Maybe it's something to do with the vault suit or pipboy since you always wear at least one of them for the whole game even at the start.
Considering the other games allow VATS because of the pip-boy, I assumed this was also the case for F4
@@pwnjangles2276 it also doesn't make sense that the game calls it the vault tec assisted targeting system, why would the institute use their 200 year old tech.
Vats is quite literally a vault tech assisted targeting system. Taking it literally, I'd wager that the pipboy is also a targeting computer that our character uses. It could very well be as simple as that, hence why all of our characters are able to use vats to the same degree
I've always assumed the "You look nice today!" trap is a reference to Gravity Falls.
A little more than three years before Fallout 4 was released, the Gravity Falls episode "The Inconveniencing" was aired. In that episode, Mabel sees some graffiti that reads "You Stink!" and crosses it out, replacing it with the message, "You look nice today!"
At the end of the episode, Mabel (after a traumatic evening of being haunted by ghosts, on top of eating sugar until she hallucinated) sees her "You look nice today!" message again and says, "What kind of sick joke is this?" Of course, this gag in FO4 definitely ends up being a sick (and potentially deadly) joke.
"You look nice today!" is a common enough phrase, though, that the whole thing could be coincidence.
It's pretty creepy how Deacon is just spying on you for a third of the game.
At Beantown Brewery Preston will say that his favorite drink is a Gwinnett Stout. If you go to Quincy Ruins you can see that the bar there sold Gwinnett Stout, possibly explaining why it was his favorite.

@@a_catfish5180 why is it a bad fallout but a good adventure game
@@primary2630 it isn't really a roleplaying game. The institute and brotherhood feel like the only thought out endings and as far as character creation goes, you are Nate. You can't really be anyone else. Not attacking you or anything and fallout 4 is my favorite fallout but I hated the game for a brief period SOULY bc they cut down on the roleplaying (now I don't mind it makes up for it)
The VATS before having a pip boy thing is more than likely just an oversight by bethesda. If the sole survivor were a synth, then there's no way Shaun would just kick them out of the institute, he'd just use the sole survivors recall code if that were the case.
That's good thought but farther wants the sole survivor to succeed him it's likely that they dont have a recall code to stop other Institute members using it on the sole survivor after they take over.
@@RockSolidDave but it its father that kicks you out, so if you were a synth, he himself would use the recall code. Dima likes to make people question whether or not they're really human... because he's a prick.
The Sole Survivor as a synth idea is that the Sole Survivor is a Gen 4 synth, basically a superhuman and no longer meant to be limited like Gen 3s are. Shaun wants the Sole Survivor to succeed him, so it would make sense not to have a recall code so another Institute member can’t find and use it. Finally, nothing the Institute does is logical and letting loose a Gen 4 synth just to see what will happen, with no contingency plan, is exactly the kind of hubris that characterizes the Institute.
@QualityPen that still doesn't explain how the robots on the USS constitution know that nate is an Army veteran, theres simply just not enough evidence that the sole survivor is a synth.
@@JonathanH1253 Cause nate was a vet the real one anyway the synth is a perfect copy made by people who have had years to improve their tech how is a mr handy one thats gon 200 years without human maintenance supposed to know if the Soul Survivor is a synth or not?

In the automatron dlc, there's a great shortcut to avoid that hellish slog. Get the department heads' holo-tapes, unlock the elevator terminal and play the the department heads names and it'll let you bypass the whole thing, sneak up behind the Mechanist and have an easier time dealing with them.
Them? Are there multiple mechanists?
@@Glenn_Quagmire you don't necessarily know who the original or this Mechanist is. They sound like, potentially, a dude but you find that they're Isabel. She realizes her errors, but I wasn't presuming her gender as a bit of role-playing, because technically you don't know anything about her until she reveals herself. Using the tape trick, you cause the Mechanist to panic, and reveal herself sooner with no fight(I mean, you can just shoot before the Mechanist notices you).
English is a funny language.
1:19:21 the timeline in fallout doesn't actually cleanly split at any point in time for example, the earliest confirmed divergence afaik is the Samurai the Zetans kidnapped in mothership Zeta while the Lovecraftian elements you can find in the various games are definitely from earlier but an unknown time. It's easier to imagine Fallout's timeline and ours as two overlapped lines that sometime diverge. Though sometime after ww2 Fallout did entirely split from our own.
Lorenzo probably predates the samurai since he was born in 1835 and was a notable public figure. But the timeline diverges even before then because the lost city of Ubar he finds is supposedly 4,000 years old. I agree with you in that there is no one branching off point from our world to the fallout world, it’s more like a weird linked timeline.
I was under the impression that there was a clear branching point. The fallout universe never created the semiconductor chip. That’s the point where our timeline branches off from theirs. That’s why their computers still use vacuum tubes and bulbs for computing gates.
@@joebeezy9471 That's about when the Fallout timeline completely split off but before then it had been swerving in and out of alignment with our own

You can also pick up bodies and use them as shields. Supermutants work best.
So no mention of the murder scene from the museum next to swan. Inside the building check through the windows at night and you will find a murder scene

the dreams were different in many ways, but the setting and conflict of the dreams were always the same.
one didn’t have a conflict that i remember, but the whole premise of it was that there was a space amusement / discovery park. the main attraction was a ride that allowed you to guide a vessel to the moon and back. the first time i had this dream, this particular ride was actually on a rail; the other two or three times, it was in free flight that you guided yourself.
the other recurring dream always occurred in this extremely large complex that was a mall, a hospital, a hotel, and an airport for space travel all at once. the first time i had this dream, the conflict was about this random girl who had acquired a ticket for flight from a family member of mine because he didnt want it. she was going to take the flight, but i had to distract the employees so that she could not get recognized as the incorrect ticket holder.
all the other times, the conflict was about me not only having great difficulty navigating this complex, but it also getting stuck in these flight pods that looked a lot like elevators, and i would get stuck in them and not be able to figure out how to open them before takeoff.

It’s to bad you can’t turn Edna into a synth. That would have been interesting.
If I learned anything, it's that Diamond City is the largest and most notable settlement in the Commonwealth.
I'll add to this. There is so much more.
At the intro cinematic and character creation, Nate is rehearsing his speech that you metnioned. In the Fraternal Post - if you engage the microphone there, both Nate and Nora will recite the line 'War never changes' as a callback to that.
When meeting the Railroad at their base, Deacon will tell Desdemona who you are. If you go there following the quest log, he'll mention you're a Vault Dweller, maybe the general of the minutemen, and that's it. But he'll actually list a *whole* bunch of things that you've done. If you go to them late game, he'll never shut up.
During the Memory Lounger bit, as well as when exploring Kellog's memories, you will actually look like you did during at the time of the real event - even if you changed your appearance after.
In Far Harbor, you can find a literal radio shack. Inside there's some tech and a radio tuned to Diamond City Radio. If you did the Confidence Man quest, a note will read something like; 'Wow, that guy is so smooth, I can't believe it's the same guy!" - Not a clue if there's a note if you didn't do it.
If you approach the Mechanist dressed as the Silver Shroud, there's some fun extra dialogue there as you can 'Speak as Shroud', which is hilarious. Also, if you have maxed hacking and lockpicking, it's possible to skip the *entire* Mechanist's final dungeon and go straight into the Mechanist's room. She will go; 'Oh, well, so much for the most secure facility in the country' and surrenders right there and then.
This is a fairly obvious one, but clicking on the Law Degree in 2077, indicates that Nora is a lawyer. The Mr Handy at the USS Constitution will actually mention that, too.
It's actually not just the Vault Tec rep that has the 'SPECIAL' clipboard. Everyone holding a clipboard in the entire game, will have that one.
A handful of callbacks and references to older titles:
The most obvious one is Kellog, a former agent of the NCR, a major faction in most previous titles.
MacCready was the mayor of Little Lamplight in Fallout 3
Sierra Petrovita - the one with the Cappy Glasses Quest in Nuka World - was in Fallout 3, too.
The Institute and synths was already mentioned in Fallout 3. You can find Dr Zimmer in Rivet City, who at the time, is the head of the SRB. He is mentioned at least twice when exploring the institute. In FO3, he is looking for Dr. Madison Lee, working on Prime for the Brotherhood. Of course, in FO4, the Brotherhood wants you to re-recruit Li, now working for the Institute.
Arthur Maxson was on the Citadel in Fallout 3, and a child. That makes him... early 20's by the time of Fallout 4. His last name suggests he is a descendant of the original founder mentioned in Fallout 1, though. That's probably mentioned in FO3 somewhere, but I can't recall.
The Children of Atom originated in Megaton from Fallout 3, the Hubologists are a cult from Fallout 2.
The 'You're Special Book' is a callback to Fallout 3, where you started as a baby and you used that book to pick your skills.
There's a raider in Power Armor at Outpost ZImonja with a Fat Man, named Boomer. Boomers in New Vegas were more or less the same enemy.
Yeah Maxson tells you himself in FO3 everyone treats him like nobility cause he's descended from the founder and expect him to be basically a super human because he has a "soul of steel"
I knew about the Silver Shroud dialog with the mechanist but I didn't knew the max hacking bit lmao. Brb gonna try this.
They really should've made the combat helmet light work
While theres mods to fix it, i agree lol, the community shouldnt have to add things that shouldve been there
What's worse is all they had to do was copy how they did it for power armor.
They really should have it better than a weavable fedora
About the pre-war globes thing showed in 21 minute. If you look closely at them, you should notice that in the northern europe part the Baltic sea isn't coloured blue, but like the rest of landmass. Either it's just a miss from the Bethesda to paint it correctly, or in Fallout universe the Baltic sea somehow dried up(even though it is connected with the North sea through 4 straits: Danish, Kattegat, Skagerrak and Limfjorden). Maybe some big companies cut it off from the neighbouring sea to dry it and build something there? who knows!
Nice bit of knowledge!
I've been waiting for this, just started a fresh Fallout 4 VR playthrough, looking for places to look out for.
Appreciate it!

Theres also a mistake on the Periodic table. Thallium should be Tl (small L) but here it's written as Ti which is Titanium. Also the open slot next to Hydrogen is weird.
4:03 just make sure you're not wearing power armor, you might cause the town to become hostile by accidentally landing on Wolfgang.
My all-time favorite location in all of Fallout is the saw dungeon-esque parking lot next to I believe it was Milton General Hospital.
I was trying to get into the hospital for an electromagnet, but didn't feel like going through the entire thing, so I went through the garage next door with a bridge to the hospital. But I got way more than I bargained for, it's like a base game nuka world gauntlet!
50:00 I believe that woman is a reference to Granny Raggs from Dishonored. In that game she called the rats that plagued the city of Dunwall "Birdies", so, "Ratties" isn't far off I suppose. It's also a similar pattern of speech.
Could be the case, even more so considering Dishonored was also published by Bethesda.
19:20 On my main save I've been saving up pre war money and recently reached 5k but when I go to back alley bowling they just tell me the lanes are closed, with no option for further dialogue. any ideas why?
200k hell yeah my man! Keep up the good work!

Lucky Rabbit's foot drops in Nuka world during the gauntlet. It's a rare chance but a corpse in there can spawn with it. It wasnt cut from the game it's just very rare to find it
You could say you have to be lucky
Funny thing is it spawns on a guy named lucky.
I figure one reason for the low numbers on that baseball bases achievement is that a lot of people outside USA and a few Asian countries just aren't that familiar with baseball. I wouldn't have known those things on the ground were actually something specific... (assuming the stats are worldwide)
Fallout 4's achievements are hidden before you obtain them. Unless you go to an external site to look up achievements, there's no way to know what they are before you get them. Most players aren't going to run the bases for no reason, so what you're left with is an achievement that's easy to do but obfuscated enough that only dedicated achievement hunters are even going to know about it
Yeah. For example, im brazilian and baseball is one of the least played sports around here. Actually, i never once seen someone playing or meet someone who at least played once, so i literally dont know anything about is rules or concepts, expect that it has something to do with a ball and a bat
There's a base and a ball. You throw the ball at the base, but if someone hits it with their stick then their team of people in army hats and leggings run (the wrong way) around a circle.
If you run around the circle without falling over or being hit with the ball, that's called a home run.
If the stickmen miss the ball then they lose after 3 misses and the other team takes their turn at swinging the stick.
It's basically cricket for kids but in a circle. I think. I've never watched or played a game, I've just seen it in movies.
I have over 3000 hours in FO4. I find that fact sad, now I feel bad.
You clearly enjoyed yourself, Why beat yourself up in retrospect?
the homerun achievement is even more shocking when you realize that the guards tell you to do it for "fun"
I really like the idea of the lucky rabbit's foot. Like, the idea of trading the ability to have a thrown secondary weapon for a non-damaging trinket that increases a stat or giving you a buff of some sort. Wish they would've explored that idea more tbh
The bit about the sole survivor going around trying to find a store that will accept his charge card was hilarious to me, it reminds me of something you'd see in American dad.
Is it me, or does anyone else feel like Diamond City uses its space badly?
Home plate (diamond city residency) has always been my favourite place too set up base, although it can not be included into supply lines it's the perfect location to set up. You can store as much as you like in the workbench without worrying about triggering raids from enemies. You have vendors directly outside so it's perfect for all your selling needs
Sucks that you can't include supply lines though. I love using supply lines and being able to drop my crap, save and craft at the closest settlement at any given time. Plus Hangman's Alley is just a stroll away from DC. Usually I have so much purified water to sell I need my full set of 6 settlement vendors, everyone in Bunker Hill, Goodneighbor and DC to sell everything, all of them with +500 caps capacity. I get 15k worth of caps from a run, don't even know what to do with it lol.
@@mrkiky thank you stinky
As someone who has played 300 hours of fallout 4, I wonder how many of these I know
How many did you know?
Yes, how many did you know?
And how many did you know?
Just the fact that this video is only 1 hour and 30 minutes and the new vegas one was over 3 hours goes to show how much more detail Obsidian includes in their games compared to Bethesda. While not terrible, Fallout 4 was certainly one of the weaker entries in the series.
Man that was kinda freaky when Nate waved to himself in the memory den vault memory
For my 76 noobs, when you have a power arm frame but no helmet, search far and wide for mining helmets, they become your best friend
He doesn't mention how if you kill the brother being accused of being a synth in Diamond City, he actually has a synth component you can loot!
Shooting him aggro-Ed the city on me lmao.
when i start a new game of FO4 i always go for the power armor before getting into the museum. it takes practice but you can jump from the roof of the church onto the tail of the vertibird and if you grab any of the other easy fusion cores or even get the ones from the robot disposal site you're set with out having to deal with Preston.
do you think you made it clear enough that this stuff is "In Fallout 4"?
The Far Harbor one was really cold to me. I had no idea that’s why they called it that.
Because it used to be called bar harbor
New Fallout 4 DLC coming next summer (2023). It's free to celebrate 25th anniversary. Also, will have better optimization. According to Todd.
Where did they said that ?
@@pascualmartinez9702 There was an interview of Todd shown on RUclips. Look for Fallout 4 Next Gen.
I use these videos to help me fall asleep. Love hearing information about a topic I enjoy in a measured and calming tone, each night I work out where I remember upto and go from there.
Thank you so much for your service
I knew about the Diamond City home, I found the elevator while I was doing my usual "sticking my nose into every corner of everywhere" kind of exploration. LOL. It can be quite a useful settlement, in fact, if you use it right.
I have been playing this game since day one. I have 13 completed characters and months of playtime on this game. I did not know about the homerun achievement until today. Thank you!
Did you know that Diamond city is one of the biggest settlement you can find in the commonwealth though?
44:34 i usually play with mods to make the game fun but as well as mods i cant get achievements and i may break the game which had happened
I feel like Dogmeat showing up at red rocket was a last minute change to give him to you off the rip. Bc honestly the alternate way of meeting him is way funnier and memorable, plus the fact he's labeled as dog until Nick says his name so you woulda had a little laugh immediately followed by "oh shit! My boy!"
26:14 speaking of Maine, I recently learned that the town of Silent Hill is in Maine.
Maybe that climbable ladder in the DLC of F4 is a test asset for Starfield. I assume Starfield will have climbable ladders
I think the reason we don’t find intact cans of Nukacola around is because most of the metal used in manufacturing cans would love gone towards the war effort and in turn would’ve made it much more effective to just use glass with a small metal cap
TKS: “These are Useless facts” Me (going through a survival run seeing one of the secret areas mentioned has a bed close to my in game location):🌚
The hollowed out rocks with letter in them is also a reference to Morrowind which has the same characters, "S" and "E" addressing each other.
9:56 there is a terminal entry in the robobrain factory that mentions a story about the researchers. Apparently it was one researcher’s birthday, so they made a brain shaped “cake”. I say “cake” because all they did was cover an *actual brain with frosting and serve the researcher a slice*
That item could be a reference to that.
The schoolhouse quest is always one of my favorites. A sweet moment in the wasteland is rare.
For the home run achievement, on steam all achievements for Fallout 4 are hidden until you unlock them, I had to make an excel spreadsheet to figure put which achievements I needed when going to 100% the game. I think that could be the reasoning behind the low numbers for that one, but that’s only steam numbers
Guards even tell ya to do it
Have you ever realized if you wander good neighbor for a while at some point someone will say "You smell that? It's freedom" from Half Life 2
The rust devils have to be the smartest gang in the commonwealth but we're did they come from did the build up strength in the commonwealth or did they come from outside like the forged.I really should make fallout videos
I think you hit the nail on the head regarding Fallout 4. People say that the storyline is crap but there's so many hidden gems and subtle references as well as loads of side quests and things to do and places to explore
Shame you can’t use the Mysterious serum to cure the mariner
