I think the underwater T-rex is actually a reference to Mean Girls, specifically the line "And on the third day, God created the Remington bolt-action rifle, so that man could fight the dinosaurs. And the homosexuals."
The problem with the theory is that it is a lever action rifle, in a twist of fate, is actually operated by a mechanical lever. Also three has a bolt action rifle, the hunting rifle.

That was one of many in FO4 that he skipped over. The person hiding in a crucible at Saugus Ironworks, the ones in Vault 95, sooooo many missed stories.
The Survivalist's story never fails to make me emotional. The man who had everything taken from him twice no- thrice over and decided to foster new life in this canyon until the day he finally succumbed to the spores. Everytime I played Honest Hearts, I always get his armour first (because they were cool but also) to honour his memory and legacy
The survivalist is a true paragon of humanity. He ensured a group of humans' survival in the spirit of saving the human race, and being as altruistic as possible up to the very end. Dealt with intense loneliness and grief instead of committing suicide because he could still help others in the world.
my favorite skeletons were the ones that you'd walk over and would spazz out, flipping around, then dealing massive damage to you and killing you instantly
I remember first finding child-sized skeletons in NV with my roomate at the time. We looked at eachother and both said, in almost unison "Those skeletons are way too small"
I haven’t played but my fiancé has and I adore the setting and lore. I knew Bethesdas policy of not being able to kill children, so I asked him about if they showed the skeletons of children. He told me about some skeletons on a school bus that were smaller than usual. Apparently it affected him.

This is literally one of the reasons I love fallout, the environmental story telling. Coming across one of these skeletons and trying to Sherlock solve the mystery of what happened. Then finding the notes/terminals with lore to confirm your theory! The BEST gaming experiences I've had!
As odd as the Plunger Shelter is, what most people miss is that the skeleton is trying to tell another story than just looking like some crazed fool. While in the room, if you look up, there are some loose boards on the ceiling. Shoot them, and some loot will fall from the hole. The skeleton was either attempting to reach their own stash in an… original way, or the same but it wasn’t there stuff to begin with. Doesn’t matter. There’s stuff in ceiling, yo!
I remember one. It was a couple who were out in the wastes, sitting on lawn chairs, holding hands, watching the bombs fall. As a kid it made me cry. I think it was from three or four bc it definitely wasn’t from 76.
Bro that’s not scratching the surface, There is a game called Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel which is by the worst fallout game in history even worst than 76, there was Fallout Extreme a cancelled game where you play a rouge faction of Brotherhood who you were going to fight with teammates A Corrupt Brotherhood, Native Americans Shamans,a Mongolian horde, and A Chinese Emperor who lead a army of remnants of China Red Army to invade Alaska. Trust me when I say that Fallout has always been this wacky.
God I love Vera as a character despite the fact we never really see her spare the holograms and her skeleton in her room. Seeing her skeleton and hearing her pleas just always makes me sad EVERY TIME
The saddest one (for me at least) is a grave in Fallout 76 not a skeleton but it's marked by toy blocks with the name Angel spelled out. I screenshot it and it makes me kind of sad every time it pops up when the game starts. However, the funniest skeleton to me in Fallout 76 is of a lady who apparently died doing "snow angels" in nuka-Cola bottles 👌
Oh man, there's one in Fallout 4, I believe in the automotive junk yard, where in a bunker, you can find a set of skeletons. Two children buried in a dug out opening through the bunker wall, and two parents with rat poison next to them. The surrounding terminals before, then after you enter, tell a hopeful, but ultimately grim story. I'll spare the details as to not spoil it, but out of all the human remains that have a story, this one hit me the hardest outside of Randall Clark and maybe one or two others. It's short, but tragic. Had to stand there and process it a while. Whoever wrote it did a great job. I still think about it almost 10 years later.
Oops, he did mention it in this video! It's the miller family. Sorry, I was cleaning my shop while listening to this and must have missed that section.
The skeleton I remember the most is from fallout 4 (in the harbormaster hotel I think?) and its an old lady reading an overdue book to a giddyup buttercup, teddy bear and jangles the moons monkey. Pretty sad
definitely. I ran into that one a few months ago. it made me stop and look for a minute. there's another, part of a mod that adds more interiors and stuff around concord, was a small apartment with a female ghoul and a baby skeleton in a crib. I was exploring around concord at a fairly high level, tons of mods, I had a P90 with a flashlight on it. was clearing that building to set something up, forget what but basically I turned the entirety of concord into a settlement. so I clear this room, go up to the only bedroom, there's a locked door. bullet holes in the door, shell casings on the ground. maybe a raider attack, maybe not. pick the lock, enter the room, immediately jumped on by the ghoul. it's not letting me go. fighting harder than most other ghouls. I a burst from the P90 later, it's done and dusted. only then did I realize the skeleton of the baby in the crib, the toys around the room. female feral had a baby rattle and bottle in inventory. she was still protecting her kid, after 200 years. struck me as fairly sad, Now I just ignore that apartment in most playthroughs. let momma be, don't want to disturb her or her baby.
Bethesda is far from perfect, but world building is something they excel in. The unmarked shacks and homes are my favourite because there's a whole story contained in a single interior cell
i was just walking around fallout 76 looking for random skeleton stories and i was thinking "i wish there was a video that should these off" and you upload this
So many stories, so much tragedy. The skeletons of Fallout are some of the best storytelling. Thanks for the video showcasing some of Fallout's greatest and most tragic bits of story throughout the series. This was a really fun watch. Well done on this.
Since its story takes place mere minutes before the Great War, I've always considered the 'skeleton stories' to hit more in Fallout 4 than they did in other games. Big John's Salvage was a soul crusher as seeing your whole family suffocate and die is heartbreaking enough, but having to dig a grave for your two young children near where you sleep then dying there with your spouse must have been absolute Hell for them. One you didn't cover was the girl at the lone cabin (Forgot what it's called) neat Red Rocket Truck Shop and Concord. The girl ran away from home after having an argument with her parents because she found out she was pregnant, and considering how her holotape goes it is implied her boyfriend doesn't know. Being alone with an expecting child can be very stressful for a girl to say the very least, but to spend the last few minutes of human civilization alone before the bombs dropped... must have been more than depressing. Another that's not covered in the video is the story of the man who lost the woman he loved in an unmentioned accident. Dude lived in a small house north of Hardware Town and east of Vault 81. It was where he met her, where they fell in love, and ventured out into the Wasteland before she died and returned to the same house to live the rest of his days. The only mementos he has of her is a locket and (I assume) a brahmin since he cares about her wellbeing enough to build a contraption to get rid of bugs. Finds out he dropped the locket in the (Heavily irradiated) lake after scaring bugs off harassing his brahmin, he dives into the waters to find it as he had near nothing left to lose. Due to the radiation, he died but not before he was able to find the locket and hold it tight in his hand and close to his chest. Not as depressing as Big John's Salvage or the girl who ran away from home, but it a sad one that in some ways had closure. This one took place post-War but I felt in needed to be mentioned.
I think the Miller family might be a little nod to the Signal Oscar Zulu from 3 as well. Both really well done little narratives (gut-wrenching too). I don't know the Red Rocket one - is that in 4 as well? I did think I went a little light on Fallout 4's as I was rushing a bit by the end lol. Got some more cooking at the moment that I'm excited to get started with.
@@UraniumFever76I found the girl myself just the other day. It's very close to the Red Rocket station, I believe you go straight out from the cave behind the station to locate it, but I need to wait till I get home to verify. No skeleton, just the holotape, but it's actually voice recorded as well.
There is also one in fallout 4 of two people commiting a bank robbery just before the bombs drop. The most amount of pre war money I have seen in stacks since point lookout
I remember one where you find a message where a guy says he'll stab someone in the head wit ha pen and sure enough not too far away your find a skeleton with a pen sticking out of its eye socket. Another sad one I know of is in the town of Minefield in Fallout 3, you can find a couple of skeletons on a bed surrounded by bottles, indicating they decided to OD. Similar in Fallout 3 you can find a skeleton in a bath tub with a toaster, I think it was Fallout 3. And I think in Fallout 4 in a church tower you can find two skeletons, apparently a couple, next to each other in an embrace.
one of them in Fallout 4 that's really sad is the girl who accidentally got locked in the jewelry safe. The bombs fell while she was in there so there was no one to let her out. She didn't make a radio distress signal until 4 days had passed, which is especially heartbreaking.
One story of skeletons that allot of people dont seem to know about in fallout 4, a country club where very rich big wigs would go to drink expensive wines and cigars, all after the bombings have happened, the ones remaining were all called for one last toust and they all seem to know whats going to happen and accept it, you find them all on their expensive couches and chairs all dead skeletons and each with battles of "Poisoned wine" so all these rich folks thay survived the bombs but didnt have a vault all came together to commit mass suicide, and no one talks about them.
Oh yeah! I remember that. It’s in downtown Boston. I went there with Nick. It was both relaxing and very sad how they had simply accepted their fates and decided to have one last drink together as friends.
Possibly the underwater T-Rex skeleton could be a reference to the end of Jurassic Park 2 where was transported on a boat from the island as mayhem happened as usual.
The sad part about the survivalists story though is that he left many things in each of the caves for the children to use but he didn't unarmed the traps he set up to keep the dwellers from 22 out which will eventually kill any of the kids who would step into the caves leave them unable to use anything he left.
I've noticed that when I play fallout 4, that if I wanna know the story of what happened to a, particular business or home when the bombs fell to just go look at the skeletons. Because it tells you all you need to know.
YES Randall Clark! My all time favorite character in any video and you never even meet the guy while he’s alive. Genuinely an incredible character, with an amazing story both written and environmentally told. He’s one of the reasons NV is my favorite Fallout and THE reason Honest Hearts is the best DLC imo. His story of losing everything, regaining something and then experiencing the tragic loss over again only to not give up and to persevere. What he went through was more than any man should ever experience. Yet he persevered and found a new purpose in helping others, was just beautiful. The fact that he chose to never reveal himself to those he was protecting because he knew that while they needed his help, what they needed more was something to believe in is just incredible. He knew his time was limited and that if they were to survive they would need to feel like he was always watching, he became a god like figure not out of vanity but to deliver hope. I cannot do it justice so if you’ve never found all his terminals and read them please do yourself a favor and go find them. Don’t look them up on RUclips.
Love this video. Yeah, skeletons and teddy bears in Fallput tell some truly epic stories - some sad, some hilarious, some “back away slowly and run.” The Fallout 4 expansion added some doozies.
the fact he said Seymore was from Rick and Morty and still showed a Futurama clip makes me really unsure if he goofed or if he's just baiting us to comment about it cause that drives the video up in the algorithm... s**t I'm a part of the game he's playing now too
In Fallout 4 on the path towards the cave where the Alien hides there's the skeleton o a camper crushed by a fallen tree while sleeping on a sleeping bag. When I found it for the first found I found it hilarious. Also the runaway girl in Fallout 4 is probably is one of the saddest
Somewhere in the western part off the Fallout 4 map you can find a skeleton with a baton, next to three living mongrel hounds and dog bowls and such. I think the implication is that someone tried to train some hounds but got killed and eaten.
Honestly, the only skeleton story that effected me the most was in fallout 4. The dad who made a shelter near his home for his wife and kids. The bombs drop, they get inside the shelter but the door is vacuum shut from the outside so they're effectively in a sealed coffin. Getting un you see the father and mother in each other's arms and two small graves at the back of the shelter
It's like the cool grandpa you never got the chance to know but you only hear stories about 😂 It's a dope comedy tv series that was cancelled later on I think because of low fundings
Dude first of all, amazing video, great job, secondly, I just realized half way, why I was hearing Miss Fortune and Lady Jaina Proudmoure... It's Laura Bailey! I never noticed it since I only did Sierra Madre once since release.. Very cool.
9:34 the craziest thing about the "ice cream" thing is that it was always a joke my grandma would make when i was a kid, and i never got it and she told me once years later "why is the password always ice cream?" "if you don't let me, i'll scream" and i think that there really has to be some old media that it's based off of since it's such a weird stretch that it just seems like a 'you had to be there' sort of thing, when i look it up everyone just says, "oh he's in the desert, of course he covets ice cream.." so i just thought i'd toss it out there
Sickleman evidence can be found in other areas of Appalachia. Also, at 76's launch the message read SICKLEMAN WAS HERE and after the Wastelanders dlc and when npcs started coming back to Appalachia, the sign changed to SICKLEMAN IS HERE. So perhaps, SIckleman is still alive and wandering Appalachia. I would love it if a future quest had us doing some detective work to find Sickleman.
I wish youd mentioned the fallout 4 bank robbery skeletons. Somewhere in Boston near downtown is a bank with a blown open wall, with 2 (i think) skeletons with bags of pre-war money. They just so happened to rob a bank and be leaving right as the nukes went off.
The story of the survivalist is without a doubt one of the greatest character based storylines in the entire fallout franchise. The first time I read all of his diary entries I actually felt the roller coaster of emotions, I also felt for him and experienced his story right along side him. The reveal that the sorrows created their entire religion and beliefs on him was so bittersweet as he really did look over them like a father and cared about them deeply. It's also sweet how their religion kept his legacy and his story alive. However they truly had no idea who he really was and or that he was a normal man like anyone else. I always love to gush about the story of the survivalist because it's a true master craft in storytelling both in the standard sense and in the environmental sense.
While truly more of a vault story the skeletons from Vault 11 always made that whole vault story more haunting. theres the group of 4 and the holotape saying they couldn't live with themselves but one person did leave the vault. I always wonder what happened to him. Also all the past overseers in the wings where the secritrons come out of. Hands down my favorite vault. while not named there was a bank in point lookout that you can tell had a robbery and in one of the motel rooms you find two skeletons implying they fought over the spoils
I always been fascinated by the three skeletons you find backstage at Tampuico Theater during Dead Money, it's two adults, one with a gun, one with a Doctor's bag and a dose of Med-X and a child with a teddy beat. I wonder who they were, what happened and what they were doing backstage.
There is a "time travel" device on the monorail in Fallout 76. I always thought it would be cool to have an expedition where you travel back and try to prevent the bombs from dropping, but maybe it goes wrong and we meet some dinosaurs. Or, maybe we go back to the 1940s and stop the transistor from being invented, thus creating the Fallout divergent universe. I think there is a lot of potential there.
The fallout 4 crypt is such an overlooked area. Its a really nicely executed location but gets overlooked by having the player looking for the railroad. The millers are one of my favourite bits of environmental storytelling in the Bethesda era. It's a realistic situation and i recently read about a bunker someone found under their home with a design I questioned for the same reason. One entrance was in their house with a second a street or 2 again appearing as sewer access but it was on a busy street. A bomb would likely collapse buildings on both access points making the shelter a fancy tomb.
The Fallout TV series has a tragic skeleton story too. The family that Lucy finds, a family of four, all dead for more than two centuries, still sat around their dinner table, after having taken "Vault-Tec's Plan D." A banana flavored cyanide tablet. They took that way out rather than try and survive in the immediate aftermath of the bombs. Heartbreaking.
One of the best skeletons from New Vegas is the one on Matthew's Animal Husbandry Farm (the one near Searchlight) Still have chills from those notes. Also the ones at the entrance of Vault 11. They immediately tell you that something went wrong there, and the more you find about it, the worse it gets. And then after you finish unveiling the mystery you have to pass by those skeletons again.
F76 has amazing world design in regards to skeleton stories. I have so many screen shots. And when i got the film camera IG. I really started to have fun as i do photography irl. And then theres the teddy bears, letter blocks, and the chalk graffiti.
I wish I could remember where it was but somewhere in the Commonwealth, I found two skeletons in an outhouse, with one over the other's knee, getting spanked with a cutting board. I got a screenshot, but have no idea where it is on the map.
My favorite skeletons are the ones at the Reeb Marina in Fallout 4. They were brothers who fell into madness and killed each other using the Mr. Handys they owned to kill the other brother as a birthday present
The sheer amount of people who didnt get the Rick and Morty joke is staggering, its almost like they didnt watch the video but it's like 1/3 of the way in.
76 is probably the most stuffed with stories of people dying ,its depressing asf just hearing everyone die after having survived armageedon and the infighting from everyone just pain.
Vera keys voice echoing throughout the sierra madre makes me feel …. Nostalgic for a unknown reason,I’ve never played any of the games until a year ago
Thought I’d seen most of the ones in 3 but dude with his knob in the fan really killed me, I’ve played the game probably a hundred times and either never saw or never noticed him 😂
my favorite skeletons are always that ones that don't have a terminal entry or note nearby to explain what happened. When i think of Fallout skeletons, i think of the ones in 3 where it simply shows you how these long-dead strangers chose to spent their last moments as the bombs fell; holding loved ones, drinking in the bathtub, a quick end at the muzzle of their own .38 special, whathaveyou.
My favorite skeleton encounter had to have been the refrigerator skeleton from fallout new Vegas referencing Indiana Jones or the Star Wars skeletons in fallout Vegas in Nipton
For Ian's wife Cheryl there is a female skeleton right outside the house , she had to kill her husband and more than likely got killed right outside by the Mr handy farmers
I do love that the Plunger Room is FO3 made a comeback in FO4 with a place promptly known as "Plumber's Revenge" showcase the same funny setup of plungers along the walls and ceiling, leading to a medical syringer rifle"
I keep thinking of the two in the Concord Speakeasy that died in a confrontation which makes you wonder if someone tried to rob the place during the panic
This is spookier than when I first learned that skeletons are inside people.
They ARE
That is spooky you are right

Rip brotherhood member, died of having his meat turned into sausage slices
Bethesda is far from perfect, but world building is something they excel in.
The unmarked shacks and homes are my favourite because there's a whole story contained in a single interior cell
I mean they’re not that bad at it, at the least
i was just walking around fallout 76 looking for random skeleton stories and i was thinking "i wish there was a video that should these off" and you upload this
Perfect timing mate! There's so many that I could probably do a part 2 at some point.
So many stories, so much tragedy. The skeletons of Fallout are some of the best storytelling. Thanks for the video showcasing some of Fallout's greatest and most tragic bits of story throughout the series. This was a really fun watch. Well done on this.
They really do some great storytelling it must be said! Appreciate you checking out the video, thanks 😄
There's time where I just take a moment and realize .. they are no longer suffering in the hellish wasteland....
It's like PTSD
calling futurama rick and Morty is crazy
Since its story takes place mere minutes before the Great War, I've always considered the 'skeleton stories' to hit more in Fallout 4 than they did in other games.
Big John's Salvage was a soul crusher as seeing your whole family suffocate and die is heartbreaking enough, but having to dig a grave for your two young children near where you sleep then dying there with your spouse must have been absolute Hell for them.
One you didn't cover was the girl at the lone cabin (Forgot what it's called) neat Red Rocket Truck Shop and Concord. The girl ran away from home after having an argument with her parents because she found out she was pregnant, and considering how her holotape goes it is implied her boyfriend doesn't know. Being alone with an expecting child can be very stressful for a girl to say the very least, but to spend the last few minutes of human civilization alone before the bombs dropped... must have been more than depressing.
Another that's not covered in the video is the story of the man who lost the woman he loved in an unmentioned accident. Dude lived in a small house north of Hardware Town and east of Vault 81. It was where he met her, where they fell in love, and ventured out into the Wasteland before she died and returned to the same house to live the rest of his days. The only mementos he has of her is a locket and (I assume) a brahmin since he cares about her wellbeing enough to build a contraption to get rid of bugs. Finds out he dropped the locket in the (Heavily irradiated) lake after scaring bugs off harassing his brahmin, he dives into the waters to find it as he had near nothing left to lose. Due to the radiation, he died but not before he was able to find the locket and hold it tight in his hand and close to his chest. Not as depressing as Big John's Salvage or the girl who ran away from home, but it a sad one that in some ways had closure. This one took place post-War but I felt in needed to be mentioned.
I think the Miller family might be a little nod to the Signal Oscar Zulu from 3 as well. Both really well done little narratives (gut-wrenching too). I don't know the Red Rocket one - is that in 4 as well? I did think I went a little light on Fallout 4's as I was rushing a bit by the end lol. Got some more cooking at the moment that I'm excited to get started with.
Appreciate you checking the video as well mate!
@@UraniumFever76 Yo, a part 2? That would be splendid.
@@UraniumFever76I found the girl myself just the other day. It's very close to the Red Rocket station, I believe you go straight out from the cave behind the station to locate it, but I need to wait till I get home to verify. No skeleton, just the holotape, but it's actually voice recorded as well.
There is also one in fallout 4 of two people commiting a bank robbery just before the bombs drop. The most amount of pre war money I have seen in stacks since point lookout
Seymor fossilized dog is futurama not rick and morty.
When he said that my blood pressure went through the roof! Futurama is my jam.
Editing is hard lol
I remember one where you find a message where a guy says he'll stab someone in the head wit ha pen and sure enough not too far away your find a skeleton with a pen sticking out of its eye socket.
Another sad one I know of is in the town of Minefield in Fallout 3, you can find a couple of skeletons on a bed surrounded by bottles, indicating they decided to OD.
Similar in Fallout 3 you can find a skeleton in a bath tub with a toaster, I think it was Fallout 3.
And I think in Fallout 4 in a church tower you can find two skeletons, apparently a couple, next to each other in an embrace.
I don’t know that pen one! Sounds really interesting. Do you know where it is? Appreciate you checking the video 👊🏻
@@UraniumFever76 I believe the pen one is the Vault Tec Regional HQ in Boston proper in FO4, if that's the one I'm remembering.
The toaster in the bathtub is in the States man Hotel iirc
one of them in Fallout 4 that's really sad is the girl who accidentally got locked in the jewelry safe. The bombs fell while she was in there so there was no one to let her out. She didn't make a radio distress signal until 4 days had passed, which is especially heartbreaking.
One story of skeletons that allot of people dont seem to know about in fallout 4, a country club where very rich big wigs would go to drink expensive wines and cigars, all after the bombings have happened, the ones remaining were all called for one last toust and they all seem to know whats going to happen and accept it, you find them all on their expensive couches and chairs all dead skeletons and each with battles of "Poisoned wine" so all these rich folks thay survived the bombs but didnt have a vault all came together to commit mass suicide, and no one talks about them.
Oh yeah! I remember that. It’s in downtown Boston. I went there with Nick. It was both relaxing and very sad how they had simply accepted their fates and decided to have one last drink together as friends.
Possibly the underwater T-Rex skeleton could be a reference to the end of Jurassic Park 2 where was transported on a boat from the island as mayhem happened as usual.
That is actually a great shout. Would make a lot of sense as these are normally popular culture easter eggs!
9:50 you said Rick and Morty, while showing the clip from Futurama
Came here to comment that
I was like woah woah ha Honest mistake though, probably a script
The sad part about the survivalists story though is that he left many things in each of the caves for the children to use but he didn't unarmed the traps he set up to keep the dwellers from 22 out which will eventually kill any of the kids who would step into the caves leave them unable to use anything he left.
Casually calls Futurama Rick and Morty and let's it slip past editing
I've noticed that when I play fallout 4, that if I wanna know the story of what happened to a, particular business or home when the bombs fell to just go look at the skeletons. Because it tells you all you need to know.
Even the Fallout show gave a nod to this as Lucy finds the skeletons of a family around a table and a bottle of Vault-Tec Plan D on the table.
@@johnw8578 yeah that's right they did
i’ve always loved the one fishing in a toilet 😂
That is a good one lol
YES Randall Clark! My all time favorite character in any video and you never even meet the guy while he’s alive. Genuinely an incredible character, with an amazing story both written and environmentally told. He’s one of the reasons NV is my favorite Fallout and THE reason Honest Hearts is the best DLC imo. His story of losing everything, regaining something and then experiencing the tragic loss over again only to not give up and to persevere. What he went through was more than any man should ever experience. Yet he persevered and found a new purpose in helping others, was just beautiful. The fact that he chose to never reveal himself to those he was protecting because he knew that while they needed his help, what they needed more was something to believe in is just incredible. He knew his time was limited and that if they were to survive they would need to feel like he was always watching, he became a god like figure not out of vanity but to deliver hope. I cannot do it justice so if you’ve never found all his terminals and read them please do yourself a favor and go find them. Don’t look them up on RUclips.
Love this video. Yeah, skeletons and teddy bears in Fallput tell some truly epic stories - some sad, some hilarious, some “back away slowly and run.” The Fallout 4 expansion added some doozies.
Thank you! I was thinking about doing one on teddy bears lol
the fact he said Seymore was from Rick and Morty and still showed a Futurama clip makes me really unsure if he goofed or if he's just baiting us to comment about it cause that drives the video up in the algorithm...
s**t I'm a part of the game he's playing now too
If you find an skeleton doing the macarena while looking for suplies after the bombs fell, that's me. That's the way I'll go.
In Fallout 4 on the path towards the cave where the Alien hides there's the skeleton o a camper crushed by a fallen tree while sleeping on a sleeping bag. When I found it for the first found I found it hilarious.
Also the runaway girl in Fallout 4 is probably is one of the saddest
Somewhere in the western part off the Fallout 4 map you can find a skeleton with a baton, next to three living mongrel hounds and dog bowls and such. I think the implication is that someone tried to train some hounds but got killed and eaten.
Reminds me of people who keep pibbles 😂
You should do a video about the Teddy Bear and Gnome stories in the Fallout games. There are so many!
You forced my engagement with that criminal blunder of poor ole Futurama dog. That good boy wouldn't be caught stoned in a Rick and Morty episode.
In Fallout 76, there is a skeleton strapped to an electric chair in the bed of a dried out lake.
I love how they captured the skeletons story telling in the show. Can’t wait to see more from the franchise
Honestly, the only skeleton story that effected me the most was in fallout 4. The dad who made a shelter near his home for his wife and kids.
The bombs drop, they get inside the shelter but the door is vacuum shut from the outside so they're effectively in a sealed coffin.
Getting un you see the father and mother in each other's arms and two small graves at the back of the shelter
Rick and morty? Thats Futurama. I no longer have any faith in you.
Wtf is a Futurama, sounds like a ripoff 🙄
@@theploot8230Are you serious?
@@bepisman208no it's satirical
@@aggressiveavocado i was concerned for a second there lol
It's like the cool grandpa you never got the chance to know but you only hear stories about 😂
It's a dope comedy tv series that was cancelled later on I think because of low fundings
There is also a JAWS skeleton story -- a half-sunken boat with a mutated dolphin and half a skeleton on stern of the boat.
Dude first of all, amazing video, great job, secondly, I just realized half way, why I was hearing Miss Fortune and Lady Jaina Proudmoure... It's Laura Bailey! I never noticed it since I only did Sierra Madre once since release.. Very cool.
Thanks a lot mate! And Serana! She’s voiced so many characters the more you think about it. Appreciate you checking out the video.
Wow .. good spot! ❤
Bro really said Seymour from Rick n Morty n just moved on 😭❤️ love the video and some of these I actually didn't know about
9:34 the craziest thing about the "ice cream" thing is that it was always a joke my grandma would make when i was a kid, and i never got it and she told me once years later "why is the password always ice cream?" "if you don't let me, i'll scream" and i think that there really has to be some old media that it's based off of since it's such a weird stretch that it just seems like a 'you had to be there' sort of thing, when i look it up everyone just says, "oh he's in the desert, of course he covets ice cream.." so i just thought i'd toss it out there
That horned kangaroo is a reference to a joke crypted in the USA that was a popular thing a very long time ago.
Sickleman evidence can be found in other areas of Appalachia. Also, at 76's launch the message read SICKLEMAN WAS HERE and after the Wastelanders dlc and when npcs started coming back to Appalachia, the sign changed to SICKLEMAN IS HERE. So perhaps, SIckleman is still alive and wandering Appalachia. I would love it if a future quest had us doing some detective work to find Sickleman.
7:13 This is actually slightly terrifying, it just walks up and stares at you.
There are only a handful of videos that are worth watching and then watching again. This hit every single criteria and my top five favorite videos
Mate thank you so much! Lovely comment to read
“Hey who turned out the lights?”
Gave me legitimate chills upon finding it the first time.
I wish youd mentioned the fallout 4 bank robbery skeletons. Somewhere in Boston near downtown is a bank with a blown open wall, with 2 (i think) skeletons with bags of pre-war money. They just so happened to rob a bank and be leaving right as the nukes went off.
Such a well put together video. Skeletons have always been one of the more charming forms of storytelling in Fallout, imo
The story of the survivalist is without a doubt one of the greatest character based storylines in the entire fallout franchise. The first time I read all of his diary entries I actually felt the roller coaster of emotions, I also felt for him and experienced his story right along side him. The reveal that the sorrows created their entire religion and beliefs on him was so bittersweet as he really did look over them like a father and cared about them deeply. It's also sweet how their religion kept his legacy and his story alive. However they truly had no idea who he really was and or that he was a normal man like anyone else. I always love to gush about the story of the survivalist because it's a true master craft in storytelling both in the standard sense and in the environmental sense.
While truly more of a vault story the skeletons from Vault 11 always made that whole vault story more haunting. theres the group of 4 and the holotape saying they couldn't live with themselves but one person did leave the vault. I always wonder what happened to him. Also all the past overseers in the wings where the secritrons come out of. Hands down my favorite vault. while not named there was a bank in point lookout that you can tell had a robbery and in one of the motel rooms you find two skeletons implying they fought over the spoils
Such an underrated channel! I want more skeleton stories! Id love to see them from other Bethesda games
Thank you! I appreciate you checking out the video. I might look at doing a part 2 next year as there were still lots I didn’t include!
I always been fascinated by the three skeletons you find backstage at Tampuico Theater during Dead Money, it's two adults, one with a gun, one with a Doctor's bag and a dose of Med-X and a child with a teddy beat. I wonder who they were, what happened and what they were doing backstage.
Yeah that's a good trio, should have included those!
I remember that one. That was the moment where I decided Dean wasn't leaving the Casino alive.
Honestly an amazing and (as far as I know) original video concept, absolutely earned a subscriber
I thought it was something a bit new, can't say I've seen any other videos like it. Glad people seem to have enjoyed it!
0:18 doctor who reference from the shadows that eat you one of them kept repeating “Hey who turned out the lights?”
Such a good two parter those were!
The Vashta Nerada!
There is a "time travel" device on the monorail in Fallout 76. I always thought it would be cool to have an expedition where you travel back and try to prevent the bombs from dropping, but maybe it goes wrong and we meet some dinosaurs. Or, maybe we go back to the 1940s and stop the transistor from being invented, thus creating the Fallout divergent universe. I think there is a lot of potential there.
The fallout 4 crypt is such an overlooked area. Its a really nicely executed location but gets overlooked by having the player looking for the railroad.
The millers are one of my favourite bits of environmental storytelling in the Bethesda era. It's a realistic situation and i recently read about a bunker someone found under their home with a design I questioned for the same reason. One entrance was in their house with a second a street or 2 again appearing as sewer access but it was on a busy street. A bomb would likely collapse buildings on both access points making the shelter a fancy tomb.
The Fallout TV series has a tragic skeleton story too. The family that Lucy finds, a family of four, all dead for more than two centuries, still sat around their dinner table, after having taken "Vault-Tec's Plan D." A banana flavored cyanide tablet. They took that way out rather than try and survive in the immediate aftermath of the bombs. Heartbreaking.
One of the best skeletons from New Vegas is the one on Matthew's Animal Husbandry Farm (the one near Searchlight) Still have chills from those notes.
Also the ones at the entrance of Vault 11. They immediately tell you that something went wrong there, and the more you find about it, the worse it gets. And then after you finish unveiling the mystery you have to pass by those skeletons again.
Seymour isn't a reference toRick and Morty, that's Futurama...
This is a great idea for a video, good job
Thanks very much! Appreciate you checking it out 😁
F76 has amazing world design in regards to skeleton stories. I have so many screen shots. And when i got the film camera IG. I really started to have fun as i do photography irl. And then theres the teddy bears, letter blocks, and the chalk graffiti.
I wish I could remember where it was but somewhere in the Commonwealth, I found two skeletons in an outhouse, with one over the other's knee, getting spanked with a cutting board. I got a screenshot, but have no idea where it is on the map.
My favorite skeletons are the ones at the Reeb Marina in Fallout 4. They were brothers who fell into madness and killed each other using the Mr. Handys they owned to kill the other brother as a birthday present
The sheer amount of people who didnt get the Rick and Morty joke is staggering, its almost like they didnt watch the video but it's like 1/3 of the way in.
4:18 “ how do I get the cylinder out of the fan? It is imperative the cylinder is to not be harmed “
At 9:50 he says it's a reference to Rick and Morty but shows a Futurama clip..
This video was wonderful! congratulations on your effort
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Good content. Really hits down to the very bone.
Very good mate haha!
Love this video. Thankyou for all the hard work you put into it
Thank you very much for checking it out!
Would definitely enjoy a part two if you make it.
Think there's definitely enough for a part 2 at some point!
Absolutely loved this video!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
76 is probably the most stuffed with stories of people dying ,its depressing asf just hearing everyone die after having survived armageedon and the infighting from everyone just pain.
Love your longer videos. Great stuff. Thanks.Gonna stop because I’m still playing FO3 for the first time and what to avoid spoilers.
Appreciated mate! Let me know what you think of it once you've started your run!
I love how you said "Rick and Morty" while showing a clip from Futurama 😂
Is it just me, or does Franny sound like Tara Strong, the lady who plays Twilight Sparkle?
Tara Strong has done so many characters it's almost more likely she is a character than isn't at this point lol
Thanks, great idea to cover this
Appreciated mate, I thought it was something a bit new.
Epic man 👍 I'll watch while I 2, I honor you.
Thanks mate!
Vera keys voice echoing throughout the sierra madre makes me feel …. Nostalgic for a unknown reason,I’ve never played any of the games until a year ago
Thought I’d seen most of the ones in 3 but dude with his knob in the fan really killed me, I’ve played the game probably a hundred times and either never saw or never noticed him 😂
my favorite skeletons are always that ones that don't have a terminal entry or note nearby to explain what happened. When i think of Fallout skeletons, i think of the ones in 3 where it simply shows you how these long-dead strangers chose to spent their last moments as the bombs fell; holding loved ones, drinking in the bathtub, a quick end at the muzzle of their own .38 special, whathaveyou.
Ohh you little scoundrel that rick and morty joke was good
My favorite skeleton encounter had to have been the refrigerator skeleton from fallout new Vegas referencing Indiana Jones or the Star Wars skeletons in fallout Vegas in Nipton
goddamnit! i was not ready for those dead money flashbacks at the very start of the video XD
Was Cooper Howard original to the show or was he first in NV: Dead Money, or even older? That's crazy.
For Ian's wife Cheryl there is a female skeleton right outside the house , she had to kill her husband and more than likely got killed right outside by the Mr handy farmers
Very good spot. I just noticed that in the footage, pretty bleak if she ended up going through all that just to run into them!
I do love that the Plunger Room is FO3 made a comeback in FO4 with a place promptly known as "Plumber's Revenge" showcase the same funny setup of plungers along the walls and ceiling, leading to a medical syringer rifle"
I keep thinking of the two in the Concord Speakeasy that died in a confrontation which makes you wonder if someone tried to rob the place during the panic
