Thank you for watching! make sure to comment!
It's almost surreal to watch a video and be able to see the influence I had on it. From the striped background to the verbiage. It's honestly very flattering. You did an awesome job on this, dude!
Thanks! I appreciate it and love your content! Also, thank you for making those guides!
@@WillowPlaysGames The guides how how I make challenge videos? I'm happy that they helped! Honestly I had no idea people were still watching those old guides. I have a bit of a more efficient system of doing it now, maybe I should update those
Either way, I love the way you present everything. The cut outs of the in-game assets with the green PipBoy like boxes with the text are awesome! There's actually a royalty free text called "Overseer" you can use that looks extremely close to the official Fallout text, but all of the O's have a cross through them, so it sometimes looks a little awkward depending on what you're using the text for
@@MahDryBread yup those ones! And yeah I actually have that font downloaded. I had to remake the fallout UI style graphics myself and I decided to use the font I use on all my branding (mainly cause if I ever want to I can hue shift it to my channel color and not need to mess with font at all.) And yeah, it was really fun making all the stuff needed to edit this video and hoping to get really fast at editing. I'm already 20 hours into another challenge run and I feel like editing is gonna take forever lol.
I definetly will! I use davinci resolve, I had to basically translate all your techniques from Adobe products to my own but resolve has most of not all the same features!
@@MahDryBread Remember you reading those shitty Pokémon creepypastas? Yeah, I still listen to those videos when I need a laugh. You underestimate how much value old videos still have.
I like how you break character when discussing your build, but shift right back into character as a fish out of water when actually in gameplay. It's a nice combination
I'm glad you enjoy!
Technically, you only needed to give Nick a pipe weapon if it was a souped-up one that makes it do lots of extra damage, or something. His default weapon is an unmodded pipe pistol.
pipe revolver actually, doesn't really matter but it deals more damage than a pipe pistol
@@crowbar4441 and it's cooler tbh
@@povotaknight2063 and if fallout 4 were realistic it would be stupidly powerful
@@povotaknight2063 imo I love to start the game with a pipe rev since it’s an early one shot if u get the one Pistol perk that makes u deal more dmg
One challenge I’ve wanted to see was being a “baseball pitcher” only using baseball grenades
This sounds very fun! I'll look into it!
Would that include only wearing a baseball uniform?
Unfortunately, Fallout 4 doesn't have weapon durability. If it did, I would've suggested baseball bats being usable.
Was? I would still like to see this be done!
Pitcher or catcher?
honestly i like seeing smaller channels do challenge runs too, big youtubers are fun but its always cool seeing a quality small channel like you, only found one other so far, but you both is great. keep up the good works.
I appreciate it! subscribe if you want more! I'm planning to do more challenges!
Wow! I had to check the channel size, I just assumed from the quality that bro had like 1m subs or so. Top quality narration and editing.
New to this channel and I’m loving the challenges and the long vids makes it even better😌
@WillowPlaysGames do a jet junkie melee high str no vats no intelligence build o.o
Only can save game by sleeping with hookers and do more dmg with zero caps
Mods are a thing don't tell me u can't be a junkie.
I'm surprised that more people don't know about a mod called "Keep radiants in the commonwealth". Love the content keep up the awesome content.
Yes this mod i werry helpfull in game
Finding the scribe is actually pretty major, you can recruit him as a level 4 armor trader at your settlements.
Hey man loved the video, really well done/produced, I really liked how you did the story telling.
Also for some reason 46:00 got a big laugh from me, just "they just kept picking up the minigun again"
Real 'how many times do I have to teach you this lesson old man' vibe
Thank you! I really enjoyed making it! And then railroad folk always picking up miniguns!
No idea how you're this small, you've got great content!
Glad you enjoy it!
Women say this to me all the time 😢
@@WillowPlaysGames yo your pfp is giving me nightmares
i feel like you missed a opportunity with using the lead pipe as a melee option. Love the video^^
Glad you enjoyed!
Damn dude you are easily one of the most polished smaller RUclipsrs I've ever seen. Keep it up my guy!
After you pickup Dogmeat, if you leave the Red Rocket immediately and come back a few days later you will find that all of the molerats have de-spawned, except for the ones inside the cave.
cool to know!
As a person who hasn't played fallout 4 in a while especially in survival difficulty i found this quite entertaining. Idk man something about these long gaming videos is really fun.
What about a baseball challenge? Baseball bats and baseball grenades as primary weapons. Rock-it launcher is ok only if you use only baseballs/baseball related items as ammo. Only clothing/armor allowed is baseball uniforms or a diamond set of city guard armor. Armor that goes over it can only be leather. If you wanted, there's a mod that let's you find the unique baseball bat "Lucille".
i love that about fallout 4, that some plumbing can handle the pressure from a 50 cal. But no pipe shotgun. also you have a very pleasant voice
Thanks!
4:05 a thermonuclear blast this close wouldn't even give you third degree burns, because you'd be vaporized
How does this man NOT have more subscribers mans has earned one in me this dudes energy and humor is perfect
you are a here-and-there informative version of 'mittens squad' but straight forward enough to be entertaining.
this is what mittens would never touch mod challenges if he could
I loooove finding new fallout build challenge channels ESPECIALLY ones with longer videos ❤
Wow the quality of your videos. Your content is so underrated, wishing the best for you.
Thank you! You too!
Funny enough during my survival runs the brotherhood tend to ignore nick when with me, i think bethesda just didnt feel like dealing with nick vs brotherhood so they ignore him instead
I was really disappointed to not see more fallout content from you because of how much i loved this video. Cant wait to see what you come out with next. you're doing amazing
There's a new challenge video going up in a few hours. also on my other channel I made a full fallout 4 survival modded playthrough, be warned I was learning to edit and building confidence speaking so it's bad but I have 40 hours of gameplay on this playlist! ruclips.net/video/XiM2ilLJ3KE/видео.html
@@WillowPlaysGames can’t wait!
I am literally 10 seconds into my first video with you Willow and I already love your energy.
Awh, thanks! Glad you're enjoying it! ^^
@@WillowPlaysGames Great video- Challenge idea, Can you beat fallout 4 if there is 10 times the enemies.
Holy shit you are underrated. This is by far the best/most entertaining fallout 4 challenge i have seen. First video of yours i have seen, but definatly not the last. Good job!
That was really enjoyable. Hope we get to see more challenge videos 😊
Any suggestions?
@@WillowPlaysGames throwing weapons only Molotov,grenade,plasma grenade, etc that would probably be pretty interesting great video btw
Thanks!
Hey, just so you know for future runs, no matter what you do except killing members the brotherhood will NEVER fire on Nick Valentine, the only one they do *spoilers* is Paladin Damse after Blind Betrayal if you choose to save him
I've brought Strong aboard the Prydwen before and never had a problem. You get some unique dialogue from Nick if you bring him.
@@gargoyle2423 yea, the only one is Danse
Theres also a pipe wrench that you can use as its technically a pipe weapon. (Havent watched the full vid yet. Just suggesting for future challenge)
I thought about it but didn't include it in this challenge. Maybe in a melee only challenge
@@WillowPlaysGames yeah thats a good idea. Its called Big Jim and its a legendary in the basement of the store in Walden Pond
willow and mah-dry-bread: you made your username your password! that's terrible security!
me, confused: but... that's kinda ingenious? who would think anyone would do something that dumb?
ifaik a bunch of passcode breakers try the username near the beginning of their attempts so it would be a bad plan lol
@@WillowPlaysGames that still feels like a weird assumption to make, but good to know.
I worked in IT for a while and we dealt with security risks like this all the time, had people angry because we would force password changes every year, you would be surprised how many people can't remember a password, if you make it the username you don't forget it.
@@WillowPlaysGames yeah, i can understand forgetting.
wow this video was way to well produced I thought this channel would of had thousands of followers just to see I was your 180th that's insane keep up the good work looking forward to more videos like this in the future
Thank you! And welcome aboard, I plan to keep making videos like this one ^^
Duuuude! Heavy Mitten Squad vibes from you. Was shocked when i saw you only have 2k subscribers.
Really enjoyed this video and the work put into it ❤
Looking forward to see your channel grow and more high quality videos like this.
Appreciate it!
I like how you slowed down compared to most challange runs.
I've actually thought about making a fo4 challange run more inspired by those minecraft "100 days" challanges.
Always hope for the Kneecapper legendary modification, it is fun with a quick firing pipe gun.
I was hoping for Two Shot or Furious, I like those.
@@WillowPlaysGames Those two are fun as well. Also fun video you have made here. I enjoyed it a lot.
Watching Maxson get owned had me hit the subscribe button. Your videos are hilarious to watch. Great job. I just started playing this game, so I don't have experience, or guts, to play on survival yet. Thank you for suffering for your art.
Before I moved, I was in the process of doing a pipe guns only run on the difficulty before Survival. Loved watching it.
so im not gonna lie i was recommended this channel by the algorithm since i watch mitten squad and nerbit but its interesting to see someone else do these types of video. im only a few minutes in but this looks good. to quote palpatine: "we will watch your career with great interest"
this was my first ever challenge! I'm glad you got recommended! I now have a bunch more if you haven't noticed yet! I have made some mistakes in some of them but overall I think they are all a fun watch! though admittedly am biased!
So, for a more difficult experience with like killing things in general, the hardest normal difficulty is actually better. Survival makes the player and enemies more squishy
I think overall this is harder than the hardest normal difficulty. It doesn't particularly matter if enemies are bullet sponges because the tactics I use to avoid damage will just mean fights take longer.. The player character being squishy is much more difficult to deal with imo because it requires me to play more slowly and strategically than I normally would.
@Willow that's fair, I just find survival annoying because of the save limitation personally, the addition of an exit save was nice though
@@Obviouse try smoking save mods, i have to use it in my playthru cause i keep getting crashs on the last quest, but then i couldn´t go back. It uses a smoke animation so u cant use it as a quick save
It's debatable whether Very Hard is more difficult even if you only consider the combat and even if you ignore the fact that the Survival character shows up to the fight with much less gear and probably debuffs. The only arguments I've seen assume that you are at max adrenalin but fail to appreciate what a two edged sword adrenalin is.
The size of the balls on Bethesda to make a game where you can't save.... like, you've literally never developed a functioning game.
Save mods for survival are a must, and I think being unable to select what you'd like to implement (for example hunger, thirst etc on very hard) is such a dropped ball. The fact that there are dozens of mods to fix up survival (balancing, saving, camping, etc etc) is testament to just how poorly implemented it is.
So, you can get a minute men outfit, a wrapped cap, sun glasses, and a faded visor pretty easily early on to get a total of +4 perception.
Amazing quality for such a small channel, keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
Great video! Keep up the amazing work and you will reach more people in no time. Cheers from Chile!
Thank you! Will do!
How do I stumble across someone else doing a similar challenge to me at the same time?! I'm currently doing Survival, pipe weapons, no legendaries as a permadeath on Twitch. Glad to see I'm not the only one giving pipe weapons some love. :D
RUclips knows to much! xD hope you're run goes well!!!
@@WillowPlaysGames Thank you! It's always nice to find fellow Fallout 4 challenge runners- especially those likeminded in their challenges! :)
Pipe weapons is genuinly my go to weapon for survival, simply due to the availability of it's ammunition, their ability to be modified, and how survival esque it looks. I always slap a bayonette on mine, a supressor, fully automatic, with a long scope a recoil stock and a short barrel, so i can aim for medium to long range, and hip fire for closer ranges.
your production quality and effort you put in to your videos always make me surprised to see your subscriber count
Thanks!
rewatching and i noticed something i didn't the first time
you used jabo's run as one of the examples of the "did pipe weapons but not in survival"
not only was jabo's run in survival mode, but he also set a rule to not use VATS, Power Armor, or companions, as well as having a permadeath mod, which i think would make up for not playing on survival
I already mentioned how I was wrong to show jabo in the begining I was thinking of a different RUclipsrs video.
I agree with you. It was always a bummer to find a very interesting challenge run just to realize they were playing on easy.
I mean if you can do a no skills run just with gear from vault 111 you can do *anything* and the fun and interest of watching the challenge gets lost very fast.
The character's face looks like the logical conclusion of only using Pipe Weapons.
So, one thing I tend to do is use the waters ways of fallout 4 with the aqua boy/girl perk to make traversing the common wealth far easier than in the vanilla game even in power armor walking along the bottom of the rivers.
I start doing this in later runs, also do it without aqua boy/girl if I have a hazmat suit since the radiation is minimal.
It's crazy that after all these years, you can still, with a sane mind, play this game normally. Props man, earned a sub from me because of that fact alone my guy.
glad you enjoyed! ^^
Loved it, great commentary.
Didn't realise it was your first challenge video until you mentioned it 😂
I can't remember the weapons name, or if it was just a legendary/W perk, but I'd love to see a Survival limb crippler challenge, leg and arm shots only with it.
If it's a perk then preferably on a weaker weapons though
Thanks for the suggestion!!
Nick comes with his own pipe revolver pistol so you didn't need to give him a pipe gun or ammo
One of my most used guns during one of my F4 runs was a .308 pipe revolver with double shot.
I’m absolutely loving your video format and commentary. Also, the minute you named your character what you did, I hit the subscribe button. 😂 Please keep making content. Love seeing stuff like this.
Awesome, thank you!
The healing can be mostly mitigated with Medic. Strong back is a must as a bad back is a horrible disadvantage. Chemist and Medic have synergy. Aqualad makes travel faster and safer. Take every rule for beating the game on Very Hard or lower and throw them out! On survival the perks that are a 'waste' are the ones you want! Good video.
Oh 'keep radiants in the commonwealth' is a mod!
You get fusion cores in home plate at least sometimes. So paying the 2000 caps is a worth it. Also there's one under concord.
Build beds in every settlement.
Nicks default weapon is a pipe revolver pistol. You didn't have to give him one but I'd have given him a fully upgraded one as well.
Bashing with a pipe weapon is using it!
Giving Mama Murphy drugs makes the main quest easier!
Can you beat Fallout 4 without taking any weapon using mods? No Big leagues, Iron Fist, Heavy Gunner, Rifleman, gunslinger, commando or demolition expert? See the female character probably knows squat about weapons the guy is the ex-soldier. So poison, charisma, luck, dog and companions! Also arty strikes and minutemen flares.
You’re like the Fallout NileRed and I love it!
i got to respect this guy he is funny and he doing a very hard run we could never do
Thanks!
ME: sure i will watch it.
ME after watching it: that was great!!
That's the goal :)
Challenge suggestions? I would like to see a casual playthrough of you on survival honestly. If not that then maybe a "no weapon upgrade" run on survival? Or melee only? Or only Laser weapons because I´m basic and like shiny thing :)
As for the quality of the video it´s really solid. I especially like your "no glitches or exploit" rule. It´s just clean, high level gameplay with a deep understanding of the mechanics. I love stuff like that.
I did a modded playthrough on my first channel here's a link to the playlist. ruclips.net/p/PLkWNfo-30Q5oGMSWCzf7sBeBh5PkzLGc-
fair warning though, I was learning how to make videos back then and getting comfortable talking so it's rough.
Thank you for the suggestions! I may do one or all of them!
Congrats on the explosion of views! This is a great video, you deserve it man! Subscribed!
man i love how you tackle this challenges and giving yourself a hard rule set
There will be more!
challenge idea: fallout (your choice) as mad max, 3+nv sawed off and leather armor, 4 would be road leathers and leather armor and a sawed off, also can use weapons hes used in the mad max movies
I love how he always dies for that supermutant with the rocket louncher at Fortstrong.
its nice too see more small fallout youtuber doing challenges
i laughed so hard when i saw the character, and then every time you spoke sarcastically. Like this is why you got your ass kicked, yet you never learn
@44:38 "Time to grab a Vertibird and head out to church, because its Sunday and Rapture is coming for those Synth sympathizers"
BAHAHAHA subbed for this line alone mate, awesome video.
Thanks for subbing! I liked that joke too!
not naming yourself piper was a huge missed chance
There is one pipe weapon I cherish heavily. It’s medium to short range. Able to ship at the corvega plant for shorter distances than my sniper but works as a burst fire or full auto. It’s treated me well throughout the whole game, powerful automatic receiver, long ported barrel, marksman stock, glow reflex sight(don’t ask me how I’ve managed to snipe with it at longer ranges than you should be able to without vats), muzzle brake
not me smiling because Willow, a random person on yt, called me beautiful
What a beautiful comment you beautiful person.
THANK YOU! It’s gotten old watching other RUclipsrs play on east/normal and then talk about how the game is easy. Like, survival is the best way to play this game.
In all honesty this video was far more enjoyable than most videos I have seen from larger RUclipsrs I can't wait to see more videos from you.
Surprisingly amazing video from such a small channel, keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
New fallout challenge channel to binge. Hells yeah!
Dance just suddenly gets over encumbered
Dance "uh sorry pall this doesn't usually happen to NPCs uh I'll catch you uh you just go on ahead"
Player "damnit Bethesda why can't you just get it right for once in your company's lifetime"
Gotta say I really enjoyed this video, your voice, humor, and editing is just top notch to me. You've earned a subscriber, here's to many more.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed and there's more to come!
please I hope you make more videos like this it was really fun to watch you experience one of my favorite games like this
There will be more!
The Brotherhood, or any other faction, will not attack any of your companions. Nick uses a pipe 45 pistol as his main gun. On survival playthroughs use Hangman's Alley as your base and you can teleport from anywhere into the Institute then out to the MIT ruins and you just run south across the bridge and you are home in about 1 minute from anywhere in the Commonwealth.
At my age, VATS has become an accessibility feature. It's nice to see someone embrace it in a challenge run.
It is a great unique feature no other shooter has. I really love it,n
VATS is part of the game, no shame in using it. I exclusively use VATS in my playthroughs.
Hello willow! Amazing quality of content kept it up!! With this level of quality im surprised you donk at least have 100k subs
Maybe one day!
18:23 "So before talking again I feel like I need a few more levels." *locks on to Nick Valentine*
Fallout 4 is one of my all time favorite games and lowkey i want to try this challenge now. Video was mad entertaining keep it up, I would love to see more challenges. Personally I wouldn’t have used dog meat but it’s not like he’s a game breaking companion so. Also love you going in and out of character
Glad you enjoyed!
"Everyone's favorite doggo"?
I feel like that only applies for FO4 with how in-the-way this Dogmeat can be. And he's not a cyborg dog, which automatically makes him less cool than Rex from NV. But FO4 Dogmeat is still a good boy. Most of the time at least... He has his annoying moments, but he's still a good doggo.
You right lol
You know the statue when you leave sanctuary?
It has a bag with a chance to have a pipe gun
I grabbed a gun out of that bag in this run.
Super well made for the size of your channel. I’m genuinely surprised your still this small
I appreciate that!
I like that you really became the character. Pretty unique I like it definitely goin to subscribe.
I appreciate that!
Wow you have less than a thousand subs?! I thought you were big channel because of the quality of video, great work!
Ooh, an hour long Fallout video, this should be fun!
I hope it was!
this is a really well made video! when I finished watching I thought you were a well known youtuber by the quality, good job!
i dont know how to explain but i subbed immediately after i heard those few words
I'm glad you were taken in so quickly! Welcome to the beginning of a very fun channel!
Lots of youtubers are going with the pure wacky meme challenges. If you happened to merge wacky meme and hardcore challenges together, I think this would be my new favorite channel. Or hell, just give more hard challenges and I'll watch. Ideas are a bit scarce though for the base game since this game has had a lot of creators look at it. The big meme challengers have been avoiding mods though for a 'pure challenge' feel. If you look for some mods that up the difficulty, like Frostfall, or even just added mods for more weird challenges like repaired faction dialogue for the different games or new player quests, etc.
If it sounds a bit rambly, it's because it is, but also because there are just a lot of ways you can do challenge videos. Just a bit of advice, if you go down this rabbit hole it's probably what this particular channel will basically be locked into and may not give non-bethesda/challenge games the same priority in the feeds. So just be a bit mindful if THIS is the channel you want those challenges on.
Oh, and if you don't take advantage of the way this episode blew up soon you might lose it's momentum. Good luck!
I love fallout four videos. I thought I had watched them all then I found your channel and it is the best fallout channel on RUclips
Awh, thanks for the sentiment. I appreciate it! ^^ I plan to keep it up!
I pretty much beat the vast majority of the game with pipe pistols not because of a challenge but because of necessity. A normal pipe pistol to build crit, then a revolver to pop 'em.
All these challenge runs remind me of the challenge run I'm doing of bare knuckle fists only on Survival
Got me wanting to get back into it
Heh, the RUclips gods blessed the, also your run is not invalidated. As MANY different RUclipsrs have used the partners that are required in a quest to fight people. Especially for weapon specific runs. The logic being as long as YOU don't instigate the kill, it does not count. Companions do tend to be a no go as you choose to bring them along, though for since you have been having them use the pipe weapons (which have horrible accuracy and waste ammo) I think it is fine.
Thanks for you input on it! Glad to hear I wasn't completely off base ^^
@@WillowPlaysGames Yep! No issue, so for future challenge runs, it is best not to have companions unless absolutely necessary and not to worry about the npc that are forced to be with you. (Danse when raiding ArcJet or Deacon in clearing the Switchboard) Hopefully that helps ya out!
When he said he'll yes when he found the legendary bolt action I thought he was going to say hello theorists
Lol
Pipe weapons only? So pretty much just the first 20 hours of Fallout 76 😂
This video was well made and very entertaining. Can’t wait to see more
Thanks! More to come!
Nice video, I watch a lot of Nerbit and Muppet Squad so this type of content is perfect for me. One piece of feedback I do have is to see if you can reduce the sharp whistle when you pronounce your S’s with some audio editing. Definitely not a deal breaker but could help with the overall audio quality 👍
Thanks for the feedback! ^^ I'll see what I can do!
Now I can’t unhear all of his long Sssssss hisses. 😂
lol
I actually completed this challenge inadvertently when they first made survival difficulty what it currently is. Stealth build with a Nocturnal pipe bolt-action rifle gives you a lot of leeway in ammo and carry weight, few enemies will be able to survive more than 1 hit. For anything that doesn't kill, a barebones rapid pipe SMG normally does well enough, with or without a legendary effect. The pipe revolver is a decent middle ground if you only want to carry one weapon, but it will be weaker than the bolt-action, slower than the SMG, and heavier than either.
Keep to the basic stock and long light barrel and you can keep a suppressed .50 cal pipe rifle at less than 9 weight, leaving you plenty of room for food and water or more ammo. If you side with the Railroad you can add armored linings to many clothing items which can bump your defense up a few hundred points even without wearing armor, plus you can get Deacon's perk for bonus sneak attack damage. If you like using VATS, you can save Cait for an AP regen boost, and help out MacCready for a substantial boost to headshot accuracy.
The child of atom can actually be convinced to give you the bombs if you tell him you are going to use them, your point is just a plot you missed lol
I attempted that and failed the speech check.
i have one
can you beat FO4 as the spy from team fortress 2?
can only use a .44 magnum revolver and a combat knife. you also need to wear a clean blue suit and a sack hood (cheat in the 2 armor pieces and the knife at the start if you want)
side with the railroad as they're you're literally a spy in the institute
overall, its a stealth build and you should try to backstab targets when possible
The dialogue skipping bug might be due to having an unlocked or high refresh rate, theres a simple mod on nexus that can fix it if you want to play with over 60fps, or you can lock it at 60 and not use the mod (but be aware that achievements might not be unlockable unless you use a mod that enables them again), i also suffered from this mid playthrough because i happened to change from my old 60hz monitor to a 144hz one and dialogues started skipping all the time and it was annoying as hell lol
Hey, when you’re on the vertibird fighting the behemoth, if you don’t shoot and let the behemoth destroy the vertibird, you rag doll out of it and survive (at least I did in power armor) I have a clip of it. But just in case you didn’t know you could do that :)
I would rather walk there xD almost died fighting the behemoth in power armor anyways.
How are you so small yet more entertaining then most creators, good work man lol also you sound like mattpatt from game theory and I love it 😂👍
Thanks for the sentiment! I think I'm just okay at this, glad you enjoyed!
