- This god damn video took me about seven and a half months to put together. A lot of this time was spent trying to figure out Fallout 4 animation, and also just basic 3D animation by itself. I remember that once I spent more than a week trying to figure out how to animate weapons. Because of this, I feel that too much of the time I spent working on this video was wasted doing minor tasks. I mean, I'm generally happy with the way it turned out. I just wish their was a way to custom animate character's faces. Some shots are awkward due to these guys having blank expressions.
The songs are:
Helicopters - Dan Romer
Better Look Me in the Eyes - Dan Romer
A Song for strika - Dan Romer

There should be a bad ending in the game where you get everyone to hate you including the dlc characters and when you go back to vault 111 you see this
Yes
indeed!
True, but then again, the game must present some actual challenge in regard to human relations. I couldn't make Strong seriously dislike me, even when I went for a lockpicking spree. I have little to no idea what kind of a monster do you have to become in-game to actually get the hate from everyone, and even then, would the PC be able to get an epiphany like this.
That would be, amazing
@@kosenkovpeter5702 strong is easy just keep entertaining power armor
When you think about it, this Sole Survivor became Kellogg, he was defenseless to help his wife, lost his son, and now has lost care for anyone but himself, and he even has the outfit
Mas Theace I think it’s about him slowly realizing he’s a synth, with Dima’s dialogue, and it would support him acting like that because he’s going through a crisis.
in my playthrough I went the good path, did my best to help people
that would be why they went thru the trouble to create kellogs memories and not another characters... to put us in kellogs frame of mind... they could have made ANY story up for Kellog, orphan raised by a raider, nice family instead of what we saw, heck they could have had him come from another vault... but they chose the story they put in his memory sequences for a reason in my opinion... to show what happens to that kind of person eventually and not to become like him... then they gave us his armor and weapon... and set us of on the revenge vacation we started the moment we woke up in 111.

Moral of the story, the Wasteland is not a place for heroes, it chews them up and spits them out.

"I woke up... I saw them take you... I couldn't stop them. I couldn't do anything."
"And you failed."
That line still gives me chills to this day. This is a cinematic masterpiece, even though you might be limited by the Fallout 4 engine or whatever camera tools you use, you still used them to create something that is breathtaking, and tells more of a story than Fallout 4 itself does. This has always been one of my favorites, I'm still coming back to it three years later!

I've always seen that as such a destruction of the personality. By that I mean, you look to your children as a ways to surpass you, to be better... and yet in this instance, he's disappointed. About what? To each person that can be something different, because this game relies on choices, and yet just the simple notion touches an aspect present in each of us.... So Disappointed... Who hasn't been?
When Shaun was taken by the institute. He became arrogant
@@xgage24 um he was a baby when he was taken though.
he was a baby, raised by the institute, indoctrinated to believe in what they believe. The Sole Survivor is disappointed because of his believes, but I don't think he really understands what the institute did to Shaun. His morality is wrong. Not what The Sole Survivor would have taught him, but it's too late to change anything. I would be disappointed as well to see my son become such a cold...arrogant person

Isabella, I was talking about the comment
Newovar idk I thought FO4 was amazing
This edit PERFECTLY portrays the character of The Sole Survivor. It’s in the name. He’s alone, he’s the only one who survived. Everyone in his family died, everyone else in the vault died, all of his COMPANIONS died. He was alone. The only survivor was Dogmeat, who is also a Sole Survivor in his own right. Nate/Nora experience so much trauma, and this encapsulates that PERFECTLY! It shows what a broken man looks like, not the stupid and silly archetypes they stylize the characters to be, but a human being with conflicting messages, goals, and tragedy. I wish they focused more on the story than the graphics and gameplay.
One by one the hero drives his friends away, one way or another. The good man goes to shadow, and in his place a mirror image of what he once fought against appears. Just as fuelled by a vengeance which cannot be sated. Just as self-concerned. Just another survivor in the Commonwealth making it day by day, not by morals, but by his own need to survive, even if that means pushing everyone else away to do so. So he doesn’t feel weak. So that he doesn’t have a conscience. Just so he can survive.
"You either die as the hero, or you live long enough to become the villain"
Did he kill all his companions? Since there is that scene with all the dead ones in the house. I’m tryna rp this character
@@jamesbond-ni7nz i think it might be just nightmare. That’s what I think at least
Sounds like Rezzyl Azzir when he turned into Dredgen Yor
One must be careful on the path he chooses, despite it being just a video game, you never know, maybe alternate universes are true, and you just made a bad one..
The lines of dialogue you chose for this video are so emotional, I wish moments like this were in the game and not just the dialogue, but music and fully animated cutscene, this is a masterpiece
Player: cutscenes
Bethesda: REEEEEEEEEE
right? this is a look into what fallout 4 could have been. It's like if you go for a silent protagonist you get the options of making the obsidian style FO games with tremendous amounts of player choice and flexibility (it's easier to do in that case) but with a fully voiced protagonist you can make cut scenes and emotive cinematic content. Somehow Bethesda elected to do neither. I enjoy FO4 I just wish it was better
Music from beasts of no nation was perfect for this vid
It makes me care for the characters more
Cody Vandal Yeah I kinda like both voiced and silent characters. I think for all the games prior to FO4 it worked well to have no voice. But now there are fewer limitations/reasons to not commit to voicing the player character. BioWare nail it. Say what you will about them lately, but they always nail the voice acting. So hopefully BGS can actually continue with the voiced protagonist, to make it more cinematic and engaging, but also add in the same amount of dialogue choices we have been used to in the past. Would probably make sense to have the option to switch the voice off though for the people that refuse to change or evolve 😅
This was in my recommended for so long and I ignored it....My biggest mistake
Same here, I even put 'not interested' on it. Still popped up for me so I finally gave in O.O
Hey, better late than never
Wolfgang same
You make us look like monsters out here...
I've played countless playthroughs of Fallout 4. The one playthrough where I based my characters decisions/personality on the sole survivor in this video, was BY FAR the absolute best. Really got the most emotional moments possible that way.
I know this comment is two years old now but I would love to see how you applied this 8 minute video of greatness into a play through.
Me too
When Nora says, "You don't remember, you didn't see it ... the way I did." Well, I know where that line of dialogue is from, but when you use it out of context, it's very strong and painful, as if it meant the day Shaum was snatched from her arms
Jose Angel Rentroia that hurts more...
@@andresgarza8511 yep, Nora use that frase talking to old Shaun and is very normal, but is very brutal if nate have a nightmare of Nora using this word against him, just to imagine the impotence of the man
This is so emotional, I think I understand the story your trying to tell. When the Sole Survivor first came out of that Vault, he was still a good man. For in-game months, maybe even a year, he tried to hold onto his morals, remember where he came from and who he was. But in the end, the world finally got to him. He isn't evil and he isn't good or bad, he's just a survivor. Despite his condemnation of Kellog and his actions, it seems that the Sole Survivor has ended up as a near mirror image of Kellog, he even wears his outfit and uses his gun. It just goes to show, no man can stay good forever.
insanegames Even tho Fallout 4 doesnt have much rp in it compared to nv...i enjoy just playing as nate. Not even changing the charater. just go out and make desiscions. If there were more morally ambiguous choices it wouldve made the game one of the best story based fallouts other than 3. i know it gets a bad wrap but I enjoy fallout 4. if they added more quest with more charater and Setting and moral consiquences, it couldve avoided its bad wrap.
ashton rhodes I soon you a while back. You were talking about Fallout Online
insanegames no man can live forever too,so be a good man.
insanegames also I would add the fact that he doesn't even know anymore who he is not even if he's nate or just a synth that was programmed to think he is nate
ashton rhodes no Fallout 1 had the best lore and plot. The plot was to save your vault and loved ones by risking your life to repair a water chip to supply your vault with clean water. Though in the end, your driven away from your vault despite your heroic deeds, stopping the master and his "Unity" and saving your loved ones in the vault and in the end, you get nothing but a thank you and a goodbye (also depending on how you did the game you can kill the overseer before exiting back out to the wastes) the Soul Survivor maybe a...well survivor the lone Wanderer may be a hero, the Chosen One may be a saviour the courier may be a deliverer of fate but the Vault Dweller was a legend and his legacy will be forever remembered by those who live in Arroyo and the dwellers who lived in Vault 13
I play “Nate” as a broken man who has had everything taken from him and distracts himself by trying to make the commonwealth closer to the world he had once known. The only reason he hasn’t put a bullet through his head yet is solely because he is still needed by people to be the savior of the commonwealth as the general of the minutemen. For the brief moments he forgets his crushing grief he reverts back to how he was before the war; warm, caring, sarcastic, and generous. When he is alone with his thoughts he is morose, bitter, and depressed. In his office he quietly listens to the holotapes from his wife and his son while holding his beloved wife’s ring. He damn near snapped at Danse when he said he was taking his grief in strides. No one ever stops to look at the pillar hard enough to see the cracks.
okay neckbeard, you're gay
i roleplayed as the 10th doctor with no tardis just stuck on earth in the wasteland. i played with no companions and i built a jalopy tardis at the starlight drive in, i went to more the depressed side of the doctor where he would rather stay away from everything but somehow get shoehorned into helping. so when i chose either sarcastic or rude dialog i really felt like there was somthing more to him and the turnaround point was the kid in a fridge quest. (p.s. cybermen = institute, dareks = BoS and U.N.I.T. = minuitmen)
in a way that is actually how the game come across as, its subtle, but nate/nora's voice in the opening sequence is more energetic and filled with life, after (s)he wakes up in thier new crapsack world, they are hit by the shock of it, the voice from there on out just sounds a bit flatter, like he really regrets getting out of that vault. but it gets better as he makes a diffrence.

Joshua Clark this would be a great idea also another cool idea would be to do one of these but as Preston it would be so sad as well because for the majority of Prestons life he has had nearly everything torn and taken away from his life apart from hope
How come when preston says "You dragged us down to their level!" I get goosebumps?
Mighty Jaron Because he's one of the only people in the entire Commonwealth who's supported you from the start and has placed all of his hopes and dreams for a better future in you. You're his last hope, the only person who could possibly save the Commonwealth and it's people from tyranny and violence. And then you stoop too low. You perform an action so amoral that not even your most dogged ally could stand by you, and in that instant, he ceases to have any respect for you as a human. You shattered his image of you by commiting a war crime of the utmost caliber, tarnishing the name of the faction he's supported since he was a young boy. You took that from him, and now he's taking himself from you.

Now THIS is the kind of deep, emotional experience this game should have conveyed. The Sole Survivor lost EVERYTHING, and yet somehow it doesnt feel like they care that much, or that we even have the option to lash out in anger and become an anti-hero.
Also, Bethesda needs to hire this guy
SwordBreaker925 You decide how the Sole Survivor deals with the trauma, you decide how their story unfolds.
I have a mod called 'You are Not Okay' and I haven't seen what it does yet but I think it's just like pretending that there's a little bit of Kellogg left in my character, only all the trauma that they both have had effects him in a much greater way. Like changing his personality and morals into something that they never would have been before.
@@laurawolfsong3607 Nah thats not what it does
@@subjectdelta7568 Not really. There is barely any choices in game.

You know, people don’t give enough credit to all of the emotional voice acting in Fallout 4. When you romance a companion and then betray their trust you can actually here how scared, and almost violated they are because they opened up to you only for you to leave a hole in them. Ugh. These games make me feel ways I never thought I could.
TRICKED OUTCHAOS IKR? The games voice actors were amazing!
you're totally right. especially piper.
@@ramesie Piper's was the most emotional to be honest
the synth that talks about seeing the world for the first time is the best Voice acting in this game
As a die hard Fallout fan who’s competed brotherhood of steel and the originals multiple time, FO4 has some of the most emotionally enduring voice acting in the series. The games has its pros and cons compared to the rest of the series, but this is truly one of it not the most emotional in the series if you know where to look, if it had the lore, world-building and story of the originals, this is why I want Bethesda and Obsidian to work together again.
6 years late on this masterpiece, it seriously feels like Hideo Kojima of Metal Gear Solid fame created this and I mean that as the highest compliment. There are AAA companies who can’t touch this kind of quality. The emotion in this video was very unexpected but so awesome. Well done
The part where nick quotes poe gave me literal chills. This is the best thing I've seen in a while.
Especially since he says it when the BoS zeppelin comes. Just very dark

@@bigboibilly3251 you ruined the atmosphere XD
The lone survivor is a testament to what this game should have been.
The stress from a traumatic experience of loosing not one but two loved ones on top of the fact that that the world you once knew is gone is more than enough to break the strongest of men.
This plays on the thought of losing your family and not being an emotionless brick but actually being human...
In the end the stress and trauma break us all and they will eventually cause us to show our truest form... for the sole survivor it was unfortunately evil.
*sole survivor
Actually if you get one of the endings you will se that the solo survivor actually feels horrible from mising his most loved ones...
Imagine this being what the game puts you through and then an optional act where you can try to redeem yourself after trying to put yourself back together
Deep bro deep
Guys have a listen to the holotape of Nora and Baby Shaun. It's so depressing :(
This video has better storytelling than the actual game.
The slow mental breakdown of the main character is totally canon in my book. Dude lost everything. Then we as players are just supposed to believe that he just shrugs it off. Naw I needed a dialogue or a cutscene like this at the end of the game.
You probably made me realize why I love this video. The story of 4 was always a tragedy but it never acted like it, but this video is shows it.
When you end up becoming the monster, you sought to destroy.
Sometimes the Monster your hunting turns out to be yourself
Such sadness.
Such emotion.
Omg Lord Jesus how many people feel this situation.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I really like the story fallout 4 was trying to tell. I think it just failed to convey the sadness of it. The sole survivor is one of the most tragic characters in fallout. They have had everyone and everything they ever loved ripped from them. Every person they knew before the war is long dead and the few that aren’t are ghouls. They watched their wife die in front of them and were powerless to do literally anything. And then they are forced to live in a cobbled together, violent husk of what was the world they knew. The game also poorly portrays just how broken they likely are, we also obviously don’t really know what happens to them after the end of the game and dlc. But you get what I’m saying. Just thinking about this stuff adds a lot of emotion to the game at least for me
Throws a wrench in there when you find out that the Sole Survivor is a Gen IV synth being used to prove that they can effectively replace humanity. But it makes all that even more amazing because it shows that they in fact can be people just like you and me

twables1 it would be undoubtedly brilliant, but I'd understand if he had o time as this is clearly hard work. Making something so great isn't easy
yeah maybe if he had a team like Bethesda does
With Emil dropping his funny lore tidbit about Nate being a war criminal, it only makes this portrayal more possible. Nate, after trying to move past the things he did during the war by living a normal life, only regressed once the bombs fell and he was thrust back into hell.
it was a joke
@@GlizzyGoblin757It's canon now 😂
more likely a synth created by Shawn
@idontexist1086 yea isn't the Sole Survivor canonically an a**hole?
@@idontexist1086 he walked it back.
4 years later and still the best Fallout video. This has the emotional connection that lasts. Masterpiece.
Can you imagine if this was the ending to Fallout 4?! That'd be dope as fuck!
Slavy or might be the whole gameplay
I love this movie, but wich Gameplay? Its just a movie.
It definitely should of been like this. An ending like that Id never forget.
Absolutely. It's odd that media of all sorts try to dodge some of these foundational emotions of human experience: regret, grief, relief. No matter how wildly we may play the game any human with a conscience would have at least felt some of what this video shares. I think the option of an ending like this would have been spectacular.
The same exact ending for every playthrough. An ending that has nothing to do with your actions. No. A slideshow would have been better.
Coddsworth, I'm already a demon.
Seriously, though, this video is amazing. Just goes to show that emotional resonance isn't so much about what you tell, but how you tell it. Bethesda should take cue.
DragonInferno99 Ω Last of Us perhaps?
Your quote, was it in this video? Or was it a reference
was simply a reference.
The cinematics in this video are nearly identical to an MGS game, as well as the way the story is portrayed. Lots of visuals, minimal or no dialogue. Not to mention the final scene in the house, with all the corpses, is nearly identical to the ending of a scene from MGSV on Mother Base.
I would have enjoyed fallout 4 way more if we got close to this level of emotional tension and struggle. If we were ACTUALLY challenged to remain good or given plenty of temptations to become like most people in the Wasteland and take the easy route. "Because it's just too...damned...hard."
All i could think of this entire video was the mgsv trailer!!! god i got such goosebumps...then remembered how soul crushingly sad mgsv and all its bullshit surrounding the game turned out to be.
This masterpiece is almost five years old. I still have to come back to it every now and again.
This is actually one of the best animations I’ve ever seen
Powerful, Poetic, Deep, Well Animated.
How the f*** does this not have 10 Million views?
Because people prefer to eat shit these days.
Because people didn't click the video and watch this.
The Bro Gamer 14082 CURSE YOU RUclips
Timothy Dexter or maybe the game didn’t live up to the hype and this beautiful edited video makes it appear a lot more compelling and emotional then it actually is?
imagine if fallout was a new IP in 2017 and this was a teaser trailer, I'd be so hyped
GmodGamer G Same
Absolutely!
Hah, there you are again! You seem to just pop up everywhere.
Fallout 4 was excellent
This made me rethink fallout 4’s story, amazing animation
The MacCready and Valentine lines really hit me... I'm not crying...
"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
You and I can rule this city, Spiderman!

When you have terrible companion affinity
Even in the rain this land smells like piss.
XD
It's interesting because in order for us, as an audience, to have an emotional connection to the characters, we must have an affinity that isn't as comfortable to the narrative. Do we side with the institute? Side with the character presented to us? We can, we should. But even if we go along with out own interpretation, 'we aren't a monster'. But it won't stop someone from being disappointed with us. So here we stand, our choices driving into us. Are we the monsters we sought to fight? Did we drag people down to our level? Or did we lift them up to something greater? As the character dialogue says, "I just don't know anymore". That's what I love about these type of games. It's our choice, our path that we choose. It can be the "background radiation" taking the toll on the mind, but in the end it us up to us on how we wish to play. We form our own stories in each iteration. Today the Hero, tomorrow - another (good) villian. For I believe we don't want to be evil. But in our own interpretation of events, we find our own solace. So let us continue on, and find the drive we search for in our own lives.
That's crazy general, but another settlement needs your help.
The sole survivor is set way apart from the chosen one or the corrior or the vault dweller. His story has more emotion. Everything was taken from him so fast. He’s probably one of he only characters who had all the right to turn evil. And he did.
“Nathan..”
That last voice gave me chills. Nora calling out to her husband in a heartbreaking way after all that hell.
Anyone else notice that?
If you're talking about the last one before dima starts talking about memories at 6:41, i could be wrong but im hearing Nora say "And you failed" Instead of Nathan. Both are heartbreaking.
I think she said "And you failed..."
Dr. Sad nah, Nora doesn’t have an accent. She said Nathan
@@ratthew7497 you must have lots of wax to not be able to hear that she said "and you failed".
Get your ears cleaned you dirty fucking hillbilly .
She said "you failed"
This is so heartbreakingly sad. It’s really shows how much of an effect Noras death and Shauns “disappearance” could’ve affected the sole survivor. Bethesda doesn’t really show how much it affected “Nate” to lose his wife and son, meanwhile this video gives total feels and makes you wanna cry your eyes out. So fucking well done. 😢❤️👏🏻
Timothy Dexter maybe I didn’t watch the video close enough.
Timothy Dexter If Nora and Shawn don’t exist the why do people in the game address them. Like if you take them to your dead wife they acknowledge her
Timothy Dexter No. Everything in the entire game suggests you arent a synth
No..
Ink Hed I empathized my character from the beginning. In the end after I convinced Shaun to help save some of the scientists I mercy killed him with Kellogs gun so that he wouldmt suffer in the explosion. Then destroyed the institute went back to Vault 111 dropped my wedding ring and the magnum and stopped playing. I thought to myself if I just went through what he went through I'd probally shoot myself.
I watch this video from time to time to get me in a fallout depression mood
I wish the creator did more vids like this. This lodged intself in my head and refuses to go. I watch it often too
This legit made me tear up and reflect on my own life. The ups and downs, the goods and bads, the happy and sad, the friends and foes. Everything, and I'm not even 20 yet, life is just a vision played out by your actions, actions that carry weight, whether it be sacrificing yourself so that the Wasteland could have clean water, to unknowingly destroying an entire town taking its first breath, to deciding if you would destroy everything your son has accomplished. "The thing about happiness is that you only know you had it when it's gone." - Conrad Kellogg.
as someone who has poured 1000 into this game i think this should be the ending.
I suppose this could be the bad ending. And a good one would be opposite with good choices
@@blank5432 For someone who has a life, a job (or is studying), and a social life, 1000 hours is a rather big achievement (I think if you play regularly, 1000 hours should be attainable in around a year and a half or a little more
So yeah fuck you
Yenno... I always thought the phrase “war never changes” was just somethin gettin thrown around fallout games as a way to connect them all with a lyrical standpoint. But this, this takes “war never changes” to a whole new level. That war was literally in his mind, in his dream, that war that is breaking him down more than he already is will never change. And wow. I never really appreciated the voice actors/actresses before but by god they’re really good. For once I’m glad they didn’t have a silent protagonist. Them on top of your incredible camera work and scenery and story telling make this a masterpiece. Definitely my favorite one out of the ones you’ve done so far and you’ve done some amazing works.
@Dodo The Donkey A bit salty, aren't you?
I’d prefer a “silent protagonist” (Voice acted Protagonist to me doesn’t represent an empty palate one could immerse themselves in {in my opinion anyways}) to one as generic as the FO4 ones are. I’d prefer branching dialogue options, over a cookie cutter dialogue that is in every way simply “fine” it’s not horrible, but it’s not engaging on any emotional level , to me anyways. I’d prefer to make my own protagonist’s storyline, than one that is hamfisted into my lap by Bethesda. Overall, this game has a “okay” storyline (the glitches and design is just cancer can’t even play the game nowadays with mods in consoles) but it’s nkt unique, and even when I play it, I just feel nothing for the world and the characters in it. I like the companions and dialogue with them, but I’d still take New Vegas and Obsidian’s story over Bethesda anyday, obsidian had memorable characters (Old world Blues is one of my favourite DLC’s _ever_ because of the Brains) Bethesda made a great future template for future Fallouts, but if they fail now, well, that’d be embarrassing for them..
@@InVinoVeratas I think with the massive budgets these companies have why not branching dialogue with good voice acting. In FNV the one major problem I have is a lack of emotion in the story which helps to suck you in like geralt searching for yennefer and ciri or joel coming to terms with his past on his journey with ellie. The only two motivations i can come up with in new vegas is either greed or hatred for a faction or both as their is no one who knows you and any backstory you come with will never be mentioned. So fallout 3 and 4 giving you a background I don't mind rather it is the execution as I feel just as little emotion save for one to two conversations in fallout 4
I remeber speaking with DIMA and my character opening up about the loss of his wife and son to a woman threatning to kill you.
^ I personally RP’ed FNV so my backstories were varied, obviously not lore-friendly from the Fallout universe perspective, but to me it made replays far more varied than FO4, where you were absolutely limited to being the sole survivor. To me RP-ing in RPG’s is like the difference between a slice of baloney and a slice of Salami, there’s good examples and bland examples. I recently did play the Far Harbor DLC and even though DiMA was interesting, I just can’t relate to Synths. I feel nothing for the martyr Mcguffins of FO4, they’re just blank slates of nothingness to me. It’s akin to watching a blank canvas being thrown away, just kinda disappointed with what could’ve been, but you don’t feel much beyond it’s lost potential for its function. As a plot device that _“you’re supposed to feel”_ for, I feel a void of indifference towards their plights and _“struggles”_
Unfortunately they will have to bring back the silent protagonist if they want to spur the modding community in fallout again. Quest mods and anything that required player dialogue was nill in fallout 4 because we cant go begging for the voice actor of both nate and nora to make mods.
This helped inspire me writing this
Have you ever thought of your memories and realized that you don’t hear, feel, see, or smell like that anymore? It’s almost alien, you will never experience things as they once were, are they even the same things anymore?
That you don’t understand those very same things in the very same way anymore? As much as you’ve moved, the world hasn’t changed, or maybe you’re stuck and it has?
How much have you changed? How much have you been perverted and bastardized?
How much of it was inevitable? How much of it was preventable?
As the world loses its luster, as the grass fades from the brightly colored greens of your youth, how do you cope with coming to the conclusions that reap hopelessness?
Has the world showed its ugly face enough to you that you find it easier to recede back into the darkness?
Do you crawl back into your memories, to a time that once was?
Do you fall into a pit of despair juggling with what could never be, again or never was? Do you march on, soldierly?
Do you face those very same demons you’ve carried along with you this whole time in your mind with the sword you’re not quite so sure is as sharp as it was anymore?
Does your inevitable decay end in defeat and agony or glory and comfort?
Does your story entail a life of triumphs or one of beckoning, but ultimately failing, hope?
Is the world the monster trying to kill you or are you the monster plaguing this world?
Dude this piece spoke to me a lot. You got a lot of skill I hope you're doing well
@@meeep8246 thank you! I am doing fine and I appreciate you, hope you’re well as well!
6 years later and it still hits harder than my base game experience.
And also maybe, just maybe, you play the most modern synth by lore..
Man you actually made it look like the choices matter in fallout 4. You've not just created a masterpiece, you've done the impossible!
lmao imagine judging a game by the tutorial
*Upload from Bluepanda*
Today's gonna be a good day
The lone wanderer, he lost everything he held dear to him, his wife gone, his son died in front of him. His blind persuit of revenge and hate led him down a dark path of murder death and violence. He threw away all chances of love and friendship for the sake of his own hatred. Some say he lives isolated in the commonwealth only leaving to scavange the ruins. Others say he moved on and wanders the wasteland like a lost soul with no purpose. Some don’t even believe he’s still alive. His story will be told in diamond city and all the other settlements for a long time as a reminder that this wasteland can change you, but you must never lose yourself to it.
the sole survivor* the lone wanderer is the protagonist of fallout 3
Thanks Mr. “Well actually” lol
@@InitialPCI mean he's literally alone and wanders, and his theme song is called The Wanderer
Preston is talking a lot of trash for a dude who basically dumped all his responsibilities onto a random stranger.
I hate when im watching this and my dad is cutting onions
I was wondering if you wanted to play a quick game of Gwent?
"The pain of watching your family slip through your fingers, if I could see her just one last time."
"But there's no going back."
"I dreamed of you as an adult for so long. And here you are. And I'm so... disappointed."
"As. Am. I."
"Deep into that darkness peering. How long I stood there... wondering."
"You think you're in pain now? I can make you bleed. Make you beg me for death."
"After all this. After... everything you've seen. All that you've learned. You're just going to walk away?"
It's in that moment that after everything the sole survivor has seen, everything they've done, they'll never be able to walk away. It's like Kellogg said, there's no going back.
hey so I dont recognize a lot of these quotes from the game, even though i have a 1000+ hours in it (mostly settlement building). Where does the sole survivor say that first and third quote?
Mart Dekker First quote is from kellogg (during the brain sequence) and 3rd is from valentine, after seeing the BoS airship (when you come out on the roof after killing kellogg)
"I woke up..."
@@kuehnjakob Thanks a lot man, really appreciate it!
"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing..."
I wish you got the fearing part in there it would have sounded good.
“I can make you bleed, make you beg me for death” anyone know what part that’s from?
I think the one from the silver shroud mission not so sure tho
nevermind, its the female player character when talking to father's deathbed
I checked and it's from a cut dialogue option with Shaun on his deathbed if you decided to side against the institute, it's a way to threaten him using a speech check of some kind. As the successful result is Shaun saying, quote:
"{scared / Afraid} You wouldn't... Please, no. I'll do whatever you want."
While the failed speech check reads, Quote:
"{Defiant} You'd threaten your own child? There's no greater pain you can cause me than you already have."
Perhaps BGS initially was going to implement a "Threaten" and "Persuade" type speech system similar to Outer Worlds, but ultimately cut it from the game. The voice files are still in the Creation Kit so you could theoretically mod it back into the game if you wanted to.
@@MrJgbc wtf, that's so fucking cruel and wrong on so many levels like wtf man
@@lstatic21 omg stop that hurts to read. Wtf. I'm glad that's cut from the gamr OMG
I know this is a little deep but my brother committed suicide in July and fallout/skyrim was one of our biggest bonds. Hours of playing after losing him made me feel like he wasn’t gone, like he was watching me all along. Thank you for bringing the game to life
willcox15 really sorry for your loss :( let these games be your way of contacting him.
Seems inappropriate for me to “like” your comment but what I mean by it is that I’m very sorry for your loss
I’m sorry bro he’ll be with u for as long as u live and through the fallouts I named a robot my granny’s name and I always think that her walking the wasteland with me I never replace her with another person I also got dogmeat to with the mod where u can being dogmeat to. My best friend was a beagle named ginger she dudes a few weeks ago and I’m still depressed about it she’s been with me since I was born
willcox15 Not really deep cause most don’t believe you.
President Snow if I cared enough about what people believed I would tell you to google Scott Mckellar Cox II’s obituary, but at this point after seeing what I saw and feeling what I have felt I leave your opinions completely and totally up to you.
PTSD is very serious and Nate has it for his time in the army and the bombs dropping. The Male character has been through so much and is bearing has any strength left.
Adam Xei sooo what about Nora? I mean she is just a lawyer.
So thats why everyone plays Nora...
Oh wait, she is a *GIRL* in a *BETHESDA GAME*
Guy_de very Funny, but I play her because I loved the acting at the beginning of the game in the Vault
Thanks for bringing more complexity, Adam Xei. I hadn't concidered Nick's PTSD.
i am revisiting this and it’s a still a goddamn masterpiece. you my friend are a god.
No matter how many times I watch this, I still get astonished at how amazing it is. It makes me remember my past in an odd way. Way to go!
My man, this was worth the weight. This was epic and makes me want to play fall out 4 another run. Keep this glorious videos coming.
worth the weight? did you become obese because of this video?
Clemens Hoste Yes. I gain 150 pounds from the sweetness of this video. The amount of fermented calories from the time it took to make this video fattened me up really good.
