ChopGaming That's when the story starts plus I saw someone that the reason the cars and houses look like the 40s and 50s is because after the US dropped nukes on Japan we harvested the nuclear energy for power and resources instead of nuclear weapons so they could've been built at anytime since it's an alternative universe after 1945
Dylan Rich it was mainly because of the the invention of the transistor never happened making technology freeze in time almost but still with advancements. Even the institute in fo4 hasn’t invented the transistor because you can see the terminals there are still big bulky and old fashioned.
I live near Boston. The first thing I noticed was one of the first missions, when you go to the Park St. Station. I worked at the exact spot for years, selling fried dough and slush outside the entrance to the park st station. The game nailed it right down to the graffiti and cracks in the side walk. Excellent job on the backgrounds.
You should have seen how hard I laughed when I realized Diamond City was Fenway Park when I first played the game. I used to live a block from Suffolk Downs so when I got to that part of the game I was blown away how accurate the area surrounding it was
Btw, the statue by the bridge in game isn't the one from the old north bridge in real life. The two statues don't match but could easily be confused. The reason why it's on the opposite side of the bridge is because it is to represent the statue in a near by town irl called lexington. The statue irl, is for Captain John Parker and the statues match exactly. Like for others to see.
It was likely the INSPIRATION for the ingame one, which is why they are not identical. They took the idea of the statue but made their own version of it.
Did you know if you follow Preston from Concord in the beginning of fallout 4 he says "where the first shot of the revolutioary war was fired." I think that's cool
BEER during development of fallout 4 the developers actually went around boston to get pictures and ideas for the game. you can actually find one of the developers houses that live in boston in the game.
This was fun to watch. I had actually visited Boston shortly before starting this game. Noticed the similarities you call out here. It was really cool when I got into the city in the game. The detail/design was close enough to the real Boston that I could navigate in the game just fine. Scale was different, of course, but I was impressed how close it was! Fallout 3 did a pretty good job of DC back in the day, too.
That T-Shirt is inaccurate I don't just chill at Sanctuary all the time. I helped defeat the raiders and that deathclaw at Concord and I helped defeat the Mirelurk's and the Mirelurk Queen at castle! Now that's out of the way I have something a bit different for you, another settlement needs our help, I'll mark it on your map.
me: fights mirelurk queen. Preston: immediately glitches and teleports to sanctuary. me: sighs and kills mirelurk queen. Preston: takes an hour to walk to castle to fix radio :me GGGRRRRRRRR shoots everyone at sanctuary :preston shoots. me: with laser musket has to load previous save. me: gets killed by mirelurk queen. me: rage quits
When i was too afraid to face the mirelurk queen i left u there alone And when 12 days passes i gone kill her alone so thanks for not helping meh:( you we're just chilling in the sanctuary...
@@CC-kj4yc History is about people, not land. And people carry their history and culture with them when they move. American history isn't the continuation of Native American history, it's just what eradicated and supplanted it. If you are American, there is an extremely good chance your ties to, say, Apache or Cree culture are exactly as great as that of a random Indian or Chinese or Norwegian person. More importantly, those cultures didn't leave a whole lot of observable, every-day traces behind. It's not like downtown Manhattan is dotted with 1000- to 2000-year old native American buildings and monuments, or that American English has 25% Iroquoian loanwords, or that Native American art and literature are brought up as anything but "theirs", not "ours". The US is a young nation with a young history, compared to many European nations. That is just how it is.
National parks have gift shops and things to make money for the park. I meant there isn't a Walmart in the park. So, no real private company run businesses.
Ya but this is a historic revolutionary war location. If you look at some of the stones there you can find musket ball still stuck in them. So its not like they picked any old bridge.
Nova But Sanctuary is a very historical American monument which dates back to the revolutionary war. The Fallout timeline only diverts from our own timeline in 1947 so either way it should be treated the same way.
Very interesting. As a Fallout 4 player who spent hundreds of hours building up Sanctuary into a town on ps4, I really enjoyed this video. The real life version of this land has more significance than I would have thought. Seriously, I spent more time at Sanctuary than I did anywhere else in the game combined!
The game is based of after a major nuclear war(A.K.A) the great war.and even tho you dont start in a vault in the beginning of the game doesn't mean there are vaults out there..i even remember the doc giving the carrier(you) a vault suit. So 1,2,3,4 yes on vaults..and new Vegas.the grave. Ps i watched this video and i know its been a year but i like the fallout games .new growing fan(vault moore)Israel
For the seven and a half months it took you to make that I thank you for every second you put into this. It was a story that i based my whole play through on, and you turned it into a beautiful cinematic. Amazing.
I know that this video is seven years old, but I have recently discovered this channel and started watching old videos, and you must imagine my shock when I am watching and I see my own father!! How have I never known that Rich (my father) took you on a tour, the dad lore just gets more and more interesting every day!!
Beautiful mixture of history, geography, passion to the game and I must say, quite a fortuitous series of events to befriend an ESO-loving Sheriff who brought you on a promenade! Tallyho, good sir.
I'm wondering if the water table rose a bit. Liberty Rd IRL is pretty close to where the smaller creek is between Sanctuary and the vault is. Also, if you dive in the lake to the east, there are a number of vehicles in it.
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to walk through the area, and make the connections to the game, etc. The 'North Bridge', and the 'Minuteman' Statue also have some personal significance to me personally - having served the American Army National Guard - which traces its lineage back to that very moment. :) I even ordered a small pewter statue from that very visitor's center. :) I look forward to more on site location videos.
Nice video, ESO ive watched pretty much every video youve pit out on this channel. I just wanted to thank u for making videos they really help me with skyrim and getting through my daily life. Keep going!!
Got Fallout 3 as a kid, I lived not far from the Germantown police headquarters. Found the hill that my house was on in game. I could play in my backyard in the game, then go play the game in my backyard. And yes I once played in the yard in the game while in the yard.
Yes, the first shots were fired at daybreak in Lexington, the militia had been warned of the British forces planned march from Boston to the Concord to confiscate munition stores. Paul Revere and Samuel Prescott made their famous ride the night before to warn the militia of the impending British arrival and for the munitions to be moved, they told the militias a warning would be given in the old north church tower of a candle light, "one if by land two if by sea". On the morning of April 19th, 1775 the British began there march and a small detachment of Miltitia fired on British regulars at Lexington, outnumbered and outgunned they would fall back quickly without a real fight and the British regulars would continue their march toward Concord, later that morning at the old North Bridge outside of Concord beside sanctuary, a force of 400 militia would fire the shot heard round the world on a small detachment of 100 British regulars attempting to cross the bridge starting what could be considered the first real battle, with casualties on both sides, outnumbered and stunned the British detachment would fall back to Concord to rejoin the larger force of British regulars. With word of the battle and because of the sound of the gun shots militia began to flock to Concord and the British forces while larger in number and better equipped found themselves surrounded and could not see many of the militia forces who were hidden amongst the trees along side the road, the British forces began to retreat back to Boston under heavy gun fire from forces the could not see or identify since many of the militia lacked uniforms and were simply dressed like farmers and towns people. Reinforcements would arrive to help the British regulars once back in Lexington but stunned and unprepared for the Militia defient stand they were only able to hold them off and retreat to Boston, giving the unlikely Mass. Militiamen and unexpected victory in the first battle of the revolutionary war. It would set the precedent for the kind of guerilla war to be fought, one that many of the British regulars were unaccustomed to compared to the militiamen many of whom were veterans of the French and Indians wars.
I wasn't looking for this video but I'm glad that I found it. You've done an amazing job with this and I found a new favorite Fallout 4 video and you've earned a new subscriber.
I used to work at that National Park! The NPS spent a lot of money buying up the land around there - it took 'em like five or six decades, but they managed to basically restore the area to how it (more or less) looked in 1775 (though the area around the North Bridge is closer to 1830 or so.) I'd imagine that, in the Fallout universe, they cared a bit less about historical preservation, hence the nearby housing development and vault in the game. But yeah - it was crazy playing the opening level and realizing "Oh my god, one of the biggest storytelling moments in all of video gaming *basically* took place at my old job!" I would have loved to have started my tours with "Welcome to Minute Man National Park - or, as some of you know it, Sanctuary City..." The geography of downtown Concord doesn't quite shake out, but - designwise - it looks a LOT like it.
And yeah - one of the first things I realized was that - in the Fallout universe - apparently Capt. Parker marched his militia to Concord instead of Lexington?
This is the second time I've watched this video, with almost 2000 hours in between. I'm just as impressed now as then. One thing that has come a long way is Google Street View. It took watching this again to remind me that I can go see what's located at the Old North Church used by the Railroad. See what's located at Swans Pond. Maybe even see if the location has a bar where the ingame Cheers is. Thanks again ESO.
That was probably a stellar experience for you ESO, feel do I. A couple things to note that the "pre-war" video is set in 2077. That is almost sixty years into our future. The game could be considered like Nostradamus in the future, for all we know. Six decades can see a LOT of changes to an area. You remarked that it was a "historical landmark" and thus open to the public. That means U.S. Law would have been fine with Bethesda digitizing the entire park down to each blade of grass... so long as they had permits and such to operate any equipment they needed to use in the area. But the "design" of the area is far from privatized. Being a public park makes it one of the most open areas that exist in America. Them placing the minuteman statue outside of the estates area is probably to help players from assuming they 'had' to be a part of the minuteman. I mean if it was right in front of my character's house? It already is a big emotional impact with it being right across the bridge, but putting it in front of Nate's house... that would have been next level. As for the possibility in our timeline of a Sanctuary Hills 'Estates' even existing, it is certainly plausible, believe do I. The government is privatizing "public" lands constantly. They probably would avoid touching the minuteman monument but the entire field of grass around it is abundantly fair game to a politician's mind, think do I.
Thankyou for the history walk-through ESO. I've always been only marginally interested in US history, but presentations like yours give it alot of life! Well done! (BTW, your "Preston Gravy" quip hit my funny bone spot on 😅)
As somone from Colorado, new england i the summer is a humid jungle just like the south. Different from the cottonwoods and dry heat hear in legion territory.
As someone who grew up a town over from Boston, fallout 4 has always been near and dear to my heart. I used to go to parks in concord, walk around in Boston, lived in Worcester, and it honestly looks so much like the game. Winter time (without snow) in Massachusetts is so freaky because it really does feel like the wasteland. Some of us here actually call Massachusetts the commonwealth so playing fallout 4 is just weird sometimes. Looking around in the game I'm always like "I've been there! Oh hey that looks familiar!" Also Great video! Edit: the quote "Fired the shot heard around the world" not only was about it starting the American Revolutionary War, but other revolutionary wars too. As someone who grew up in a town where many battles where fought and where Paul reviere ran through, i am a huge history enthusiast (specifically American history and focusing on the revolutionary war). The battle of concord (and also Lexington) showed the world that we meant business and inspired people like the French, Mexicans, etc to fight their own wars for freedom.
I live in Alaska, and I got the privilege of exploring the Revolutionary War sites, including the North Bridge. Such a beautiful place with such rich history.
A little thought to not ruin the lore, you have to remember that Fallout 4 is set in the fifties. I mean yes, the 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 is "2077", but the storyline is set in the fifties. So to stay lore-friendly, you could just imagine that they; completely remodeled Sanctuary Hills itself; expanded concord; took down the big old clunky pylons, and replaced them with a more modern, eco-friendly alternative; etc., etc., etc.
Living in Massachusetts (Central Mass to be specific) I can say with honesty that the environmental designers to the world did a supreme job of it creating the world. Where I live is a LOT of hills and peaks etc but as you go further out east towards Boston and the area it slowly declines and gives way to a more valley, lake looking environment. The neighborhoods were flawless in design and exploring the outskirts was genuinely my favorite part because I have been to most if not all of these locations and it's just so cool to see how accurately portrayed they were.
As someone who lives in New England and has spent a lot of their life in Boston, I highly recommend spending an afternoon in Boston and visiting all the real life locations from Fallout 4. It's very cool to see the similarities and differences.
I love taking a look at real life locations from games. The Walking Dead Season One's depiction of Savannah, Georgia is so eerie. I went there on my birthday two years ago, and it's just plain spooky seeing a post-apocalyptic version of the place.
I live 45 minutes from Boston and I've been to the Minute Man National Historical Park before Fallout 4 came out and seeing it sort of in the game made me so happy, along with all the Boston stuff like Fenway Park being turned into Diamond City along with other places I'm familiar with like Faneuil Hall even if it isn't like the real one, it's still cool.
Cool video. I actually live in Northern Massachusetts and had no idea that was there. I like the idea of the real world v. game world videos. Would love to see more.
This was actually quite fun to watch. Both for a British perspective and as somebody who lives near and grew up near Concord. In fact, I drive through town daily. I've even paddled my kayak under that bridge many times. :) As a Massachusetts native, this game has been a blast to plays
What you said about, they don't hold your hand but they guide you, but you make the choice of what to explore next, is exactly how I play Fallout 4 and how I like to play any game. I'll be following the marker towards a quest objective, but then I'll see something off to the left or right, oh, what's that? Twenty minutes later, I've poked through it and I'm remembering, oh right, I was off to do a quest. Back to it then! Until the next thing catches my eye.
In our world Sanctuary was preserved as a historical land mark. In the Fallout timeline a lot has happened. War, lack of resources, exc. If you actually explore Sanctuary a bit you will notice that it seems some of the buildings are newer constructions. I would say that the town of Sanctuary was built alongside the Vault. Historical landmarks removed, or out right replaced. As families moved into the town, Vault Tec would pick the best ones suited for their experiments. Keep them close at hand for when the war starts.
"You guys only have 300 years of history..." We Native Americans (So called 'Indians') forgive you... I know my tribe has been in California for about 8000 years...-ish. Still, great video :)

I was half expecting to see a dead drifter and dog at the front of the bridge, that never goes away.

Hold the interact/talk button to pick up stuff, or drag a body. Drag the bodies away. Boom, done.

With my luck, if I touched that body, I'd probably get Rock Joint or some other Bethesda disease.
of course you couldnt see the houses, the watertower and red rocket there, they all will be build in the 2060s ;)

The battle of Lexington started the war, not the battle for Concord. But you were close ESO.

With word of the battle and because of the sound of the gun shots militia began to flock to Concord and the British forces while larger in number and better equipped found themselves surrounded and could not see many of the militia forces who were hidden amongst the trees along side the road, the British forces began to retreat back to Boston under heavy gun fire from forces the could not see or identify since many of the militia lacked uniforms and were simply dressed like farmers and towns people. Reinforcements would arrive to help the British regulars once back in Lexington but stunned and unprepared for the Militia defient stand they were only able to hold them off and retreat to Boston, giving the unlikely Mass. Militiamen and unexpected victory in the first battle of the revolutionary war. It would set the precedent for the kind of guerilla war to be fought, one that many of the British regulars were unaccustomed to compared to the militiamen many of whom were veterans of the French and Indians wars.
I wasn't looking for this video but I'm glad that I found it. You've done an amazing job with this and I found a new favorite Fallout 4 video and you've earned a new subscriber.
Take a shot every time he says: "real life" 😂 ESO, I love you man
Draco Fangs oh I did mate I'm wasted
I used to work at that National Park! The NPS spent a lot of money buying up the land around there - it took 'em like five or six decades, but they managed to basically restore the area to how it (more or less) looked in 1775 (though the area around the North Bridge is closer to 1830 or so.) I'd imagine that, in the Fallout universe, they cared a bit less about historical preservation, hence the nearby housing development and vault in the game. But yeah - it was crazy playing the opening level and realizing "Oh my god, one of the biggest storytelling moments in all of video gaming *basically* took place at my old job!" I would have loved to have started my tours with "Welcome to Minute Man National Park - or, as some of you know it, Sanctuary City..."
The geography of downtown Concord doesn't quite shake out, but - designwise - it looks a LOT like it.
And yeah - one of the first things I realized was that - in the Fallout universe - apparently Capt. Parker marched his militia to Concord instead of Lexington?
Preston Gravy, nicely played ESO.
I don't think that was intentional
This is the second time I've watched this video, with almost 2000 hours in between. I'm just as impressed now as then. One thing that has come a long way is Google Street View. It took watching this again to remind me that I can go see what's located at the Old North Church used by the Railroad. See what's located at Swans Pond. Maybe even see if the location has a bar where the ingame Cheers is. Thanks again ESO.
Preston gravey? I thought it was Preston Garvey.!
This was very cool my friend,
Emersion of irl and gaming gets no better.
Cheers for the effort and sharing this with us.
You sir, have earned my subscription
That was probably a stellar experience for you ESO, feel do I.
A couple things to note that the "pre-war" video is set in 2077. That is almost sixty years into our future. The game could be considered like Nostradamus in the future, for all we know. Six decades can see a LOT of changes to an area.
You remarked that it was a "historical landmark" and thus open to the public. That means U.S. Law would have been fine with Bethesda digitizing the entire park down to each blade of grass... so long as they had permits and such to operate any equipment they needed to use in the area. But the "design" of the area is far from privatized. Being a public park makes it one of the most open areas that exist in America.
Them placing the minuteman statue outside of the estates area is probably to help players from assuming they 'had' to be a part of the minuteman. I mean if it was right in front of my character's house? It already is a big emotional impact with it being right across the bridge, but putting it in front of Nate's house... that would have been next level.
As for the possibility in our timeline of a Sanctuary Hills 'Estates' even existing, it is certainly plausible, believe do I. The government is privatizing "public" lands constantly. They probably would avoid touching the minuteman monument but the entire field of grass around it is abundantly fair game to a politician's mind, think do I.
One question, what else did you see in Boston? Did you see Bunker Hill? How about walking the freedom trail,?
Thankyou for the history walk-through ESO. I've always been only marginally interested in US history, but presentations like yours give it alot of life! Well done! (BTW, your "Preston Gravy" quip hit my funny bone spot on 😅)
Are you high on some jet or what PRESTON GRAVY😂😂😂😂😂😂
Very nice video ESO i enjoyed it alot :) keep up the good work.
Greetings ESO from Southern Maine, My niece went to pax east this year, I was jealous
1) i dont think he really cares that u live in maine 2) im not mad. Shh,
From your other replies Xaliva your an interesting person, I'm glad your not mad lol
Great Video, thanks for adding a new location on my map. I live a few towns over from Concord, and never thought this is where Sanctuary is!
"Preston Gravy" :'D
oh yes, he is greasy xD
As somone from Colorado, new england i the summer is a humid jungle just like the south. Different from the cottonwoods and dry heat hear in legion territory.
Route 111 feeds onto Concord. I drove by it the other day and wondered if that's where they got the vault name.
As someone who grew up a town over from Boston, fallout 4 has always been near and dear to my heart. I used to go to parks in concord, walk around in Boston, lived in Worcester, and it honestly looks so much like the game. Winter time (without snow) in Massachusetts is so freaky because it really does feel like the wasteland. Some of us here actually call Massachusetts the commonwealth so playing fallout 4 is just weird sometimes. Looking around in the game I'm always like "I've been there! Oh hey that looks familiar!" Also Great video!
Edit: the quote "Fired the shot heard around the world" not only was about it starting the American Revolutionary War, but other revolutionary wars too. As someone who grew up in a town where many battles where fought and where Paul reviere ran through, i am a huge history enthusiast (specifically American history and focusing on the revolutionary war). The battle of concord (and also Lexington) showed the world that we meant business and inspired people like the French, Mexicans, etc to fight their own wars for freedom.
P R E S T O N G R A V Y
I thank you, only game I’ve played since it came out, I’m 66 yrs , and love building…still building…
he said Preston gravy lol
I live in Alaska, and I got the privilege of exploring the Revolutionary War sites, including the North Bridge. Such a beautiful place with such rich history.
Maybe you should pay a visit to RavenRock in the capital wasteland.
A little thought to not ruin the lore, you have to remember that Fallout 4 is set in the fifties. I mean yes, the 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 is "2077", but the storyline is set in the fifties. So to stay lore-friendly, you could just imagine that they; completely remodeled Sanctuary Hills itself; expanded concord; took down the big old clunky pylons, and replaced them with a more modern, eco-friendly alternative; etc., etc., etc.
help i cant stop giggling about Preston gravy
This is so cool
Any one else wants to live in Boston after fallout 4?
Only if I get laser turrets.
Borre Peper only if i get a power armor
Hell no, Massachusetts gun laws are bullshit
+GMdrivingMOPARguy you should see the gun laws here in California...
I lived in Massachusetts for 8 years of my life. Very nice place.
Living in Massachusetts (Central Mass to be specific) I can say with honesty that the environmental designers to the world did a supreme job of it creating the world. Where I live is a LOT of hills and peaks etc but as you go further out east towards Boston and the area it slowly declines and gives way to a more valley, lake looking environment. The neighborhoods were flawless in design and exploring the outskirts was genuinely my favorite part because I have been to most if not all of these locations and it's just so cool to see how accurately portrayed they were.
Did anyone notice that area is the same area from assassin's Creed 3 where you hold off the British by commanding minutemen?
FiveWindow 456 do you mean battle of bunkerhill in AC3?
ThatVaultDude no the one where you order men to fire.
As someone who lives in New England and has spent a lot of their life in Boston, I highly recommend spending an afternoon in Boston and visiting all the real life locations from Fallout 4. It's very cool to see the similarities and differences.
Are you serious? GRAVY?!!
But thank you for that. twas very good.
Excellent vid. It adds that much more immersiveness every time I visit Sanctuary now. :)
Does the shirt say Preston Gravy on it anywhere? I would buy that shit.
I love taking a look at real life locations from games. The Walking Dead Season One's depiction of Savannah, Georgia is so eerie. I went there on my birthday two years ago, and it's just plain spooky seeing a post-apocalyptic version of the place.
Want to see a real wasteland? Come on down to New Jersery (No real hate BTW I'm acctually from Jersey)
XxGreatswordxX 0 yeah, it's a real shitfest over here
XxGreatswordxX 0 or Detroit
I live 45 minutes from Boston and I've been to the Minute Man National Historical Park before Fallout 4 came out and seeing it sort of in the game made me so happy, along with all the Boston stuff like Fenway Park being turned into Diamond City along with other places I'm familiar with like Faneuil Hall even if it isn't like the real one, it's still cool.
"Preston Gravy"
Cool video. I actually live in Northern Massachusetts and had no idea that was there. I like the idea of the real world v. game world videos. Would love to see more.
that thing befor sanctuary its the statue of the man
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
scorpion tamer *minuteman.
This was actually quite fun to watch. Both for a British perspective and as somebody who lives near and grew up near Concord. In fact, I drive through town daily. I've even paddled my kayak under that bridge many times. :)
As a Massachusetts native, this game has been a blast to plays
Lol I live in Massachusetts I didn't notice the trees are the same as fallout
Speedy Rob66 this is in Boston idiot one part of the state won’t be the exact same as another
Dank Memes
1. Wow I forgot is made this comment
2. I must’ve been grumpy when I made it cause I don’t see no reason to call him a idiot XD
Its Garvey by the way, but that doesn't matter, there is a settlement that needs help. Ill mark it on your map.
Oh my god the minutemen were actually real!?!
tango 2005 wait, you’re not from the US are you? 🤞🏻🙏🏻
nah uk
tango 2005 lol that makes sense, I wouldn’t assume you’d know then, ya damn Redcoat jk 😉
Fallout 4 is a real game. Did you know that? Wow so dumd.
HaloModder555 it’s ironic because you spelt dumb wrong
Dude! That is freaking awesome. Richard sounds like a really good guy.
PRESTON GRAVY HOPE HE HAS MASHED POTATOES AS WELL
It was really cool to see the similarities between the game and real life. Being from Massachusetts made me appreciate it even more.
if you wanted to see the landscape then I could've just sent you a couple pictures
I mean other than a few minor differences I was impressed on my trip to Boston, how faithfully Bethesda recreated some of the main areas
I thought this was a fan recration of the sanctuary.
I live in New England- the games atmosphere is eerily similar, thank you for noticing their attention to detail it's quite impressive
nuclear fallout is coming boi
What you said about, they don't hold your hand but they guide you, but you make the choice of what to explore next, is exactly how I play Fallout 4 and how I like to play any game. I'll be following the marker towards a quest objective, but then I'll see something off to the left or right, oh, what's that? Twenty minutes later, I've poked through it and I'm remembering, oh right, I was off to do a quest. Back to it then! Until the next thing catches my eye.
Preston Gravy 😄😄
lmao the little Freudian slips are my favorite. Preston Gravy
Lol Preston gravy
In our world Sanctuary was preserved as a historical land mark. In the Fallout timeline a lot has happened. War, lack of resources, exc. If you actually explore Sanctuary a bit you will notice that it seems some of the buildings are newer constructions. I would say that the town of Sanctuary was built alongside the Vault. Historical landmarks removed, or out right replaced. As families moved into the town, Vault Tec would pick the best ones suited for their experiments. Keep them close at hand for when the war starts.
"You guys only have 300 years of history..." We Native Americans (So called 'Indians') forgive you... I know my tribe has been in California for about 8000 years...-ish. Still, great video :)
Plus vikings coming here and cavemen walking across the ocean after the ice age.
news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/09/0903_030903_bajaskull.html
Artisankat Studios he means America as just the united states as a country, which is about 300 years
I don't think he gives a shit nor does anyone else what you descend from
And I don't give a shit about your comment. I guess we are even. At least in this way.
I'm a female gamer and watching this video was amazing. I love Fallout 4 and never knew sanctuary was based on a real place :)
