"It's like Skyrim with guns"
I remember when everyone called Fallout 3 "Oblivion with guns"
and starfield is just fallout but in space. the cycle never ends
Bethesda is really fond of the formula of wander around and do dungeons. Yet they insist on calling their F tier linear writing a “RPG”
And when everyone was calling Far Cry 3 Skyrim with Guns.
It’s accurate. They honed in their addictive formula. The writing is half-a$$ but their formula is good and modding sure stretches things out.
skyrim with guns is far cry
Seeing him pick up the minigun and run off with it like a dog who's got something he's not supposed to have xD

26:33 imagine you're a survivor, tensely walking through Boston, when you hear explosions and gunfire. you duck down behind cover and slowly peak your head out, seeing a group of bandits and scum scurrying about, shooting into the distance at a speck, while explosions happen around them. you take out some binoculars, and you look into the direction of the speck, and it's just a guy with a bow.
Rambo type shit
Honestly that was basically also me killing uber zombies at night in dying light 1, too.
2 was more about the 'stay the fuck back' crossbow bolts, but tbf i also maxed molotovs so not like explodives weren't present.
Basically how I played Far Cry 6, the Vengeance Bow is op.
Hotguy!!
@@TheHorseman0fApocalypseI get this reference, and I am happy. #Hotguy!
30:43 never forget, stealth means nobody can see you, which is true when all enemies are dead, so this is actually a very stealthy way to do this
We call this heavy stealth
@@Cake_soup I call it "non-negotiable stealth" 😅
Kellogg: [melts into goo]
Brandy: I think we got him
I love how everyone calls archers weak but in reality they were actually pretty strong
Right? Like I'm not sure people realize how much arm strength it takes to pull a bowstring back. Especially longbows. lol
@@jackfrost7543 and you’d have the emotional stress of being on a battlefield where you’d have cavalry ready to run you down, infantry ready to ram their sword in you, and other archers ready to put an arrow in your chest all while you need to stay steady enough to actually hit your target
@@jackfrost7543 Yeah, English longbows were at minimum 125lb draw weight and I believe the highest were like 160. And if we go on his compound bow, he found in Kellog's house and real compound bows then they can go up to at least 100lb. So, imagine an arrow flying at your head with 100lb of force consecrated into a small area, being the tip of course.
Who the hell calls archers weak??
@@CerotheDemon pretty much every movie and person who's never done archery
I can see those Far Cry bow animations 😉
Also it takes a very large amount of strength to use bows, longbowmen in the Middle Ages would have actual skeletal structure changes from how often they fired those massive things for their entire lives
Most warbows were 80-100 pounds though. The ones that cause that were an upwards of 180. Some warbows were as low as 60 pounds.
Even with longbows most didn't get that heavy.
@@alendonvaldor5808 It was typically an english longbow that required large amounts of strength, those weighed 130 or more. Most people in these forces were required to train their lives from a child just to be able to use them. The warbows you are talking about are probably more central european compound bows or similar
80-100 lbs is not a small amount. Being able to pull that repeatedly requires some pretty good strength
The skeletal deformation is more a result if over-training in adolescence when the bones are still growing and thus are soft and malleable.
After watching all his streams live on this challenge i find it amazing that he was able to compact it all into an hour.
I don't know how either. I cut out so many things and its still absurdly long
@@ItsYaBoyBrandyBoy Well Skyrim is a pretty long game.
@@tylercarson2082 haha true this comment gave me a chuckle lol
@@The_Biblographer Preston used to be an adventurer like you until he took an arrow to the knee
@@ItsYaBoyBrandyBoy What kind of HUD do you have here? What kind of mod?
Going from full health to falling through the Vertibird was ONE FRAME.
I want all of Brandy's giggles as a replacer mod for Idiot Savant's sound effects
i still laugh when he gets the stealth suit and says its drippy while his character is spilling copious gallons of blood out of her limbs!
I just don’t understand how bows aren’t vanilla. I mean it’s pretty logical to have one too in a post apocalyptic world if you dont have guns. Definitely adding bows to my mod list for a stealth playthrough.
Have you ever done a "best stealth mods" video? I think that'd be a cool idea for a vid, but this looks like it'll be a great video
nope. have not. will write down in the idea book
Robots bleeding to death does make sense in some situations.
If they're using hydraulics to move, piercing them would lower pressure and rather rapidly weaken them, it would only disable whatever you hit but considering you can die by having your toe shot off, I'd consider that a viable way to kill them.
They would probably use various fluids and gasses for cooling, lubrication and possibly as a conductor, so plenty of stuff to "bleed" out there.
Pure definition of "Loud Stealth"
There's no witnesses if there's no one to be a witness
I would genuinely pay for someone’s knowledge and time to make my game look and play like this realism with this game is immense possibilities
the mod list is in the video description (all 500 of them). I picked and chose some to install on my game.
@@user-vn1wz3tr1hI can imagine they are pretty demanding spec wise? I only got a laptop that run vanilla pretty alright
Hmm, this feels like a prelude to a "Can you beat Fallout as Prophet from Crysis?" Though that actually sounds like it would make for a great video.
Edit: To tack onto this, you start off with the Nanosuit with its iconic abilities, including different vision modes, a heavy compound bow with standard arrows, fragmentation arrows for groups of targets, electric arrows for robotic and mechanically based synthetic enemies, and thermite tipped arrows for anyone trying to hide behind sturdy armour. As a caveat, Nuclear broad heads are allowed, but only for what can be considered boss enemies, so named humans in Power Armour, or mutant behemoths, though if other enemies get caught in the blast, well that was their fault, won’t invalidate the run.
As for other weapons, you can use sniper rifles, shotguns, assault rifles, DMRs, LMGs, SMGs, machine pistols, hand cannons, revolvers, and heavy weaponry such as rocket launchers, no minigun, but an M2 Browning .50 cal HMG is fine.
Special stats should reflect Prophet, so high strength, perception, endurance, and agility, middling intelligence since he is former special forces, lower luck because of what happens to him, and no charisma because he isn’t the kind of guy to strike up a chat with people.
Is this run incredibly easy thanks to being handed an incredibly powerful bow and set of armour that should be comparable to low tier power armour? Yes. And that’s kinda the point, early game you are a nightmare to deal with, but late game things will get difficult, which is pretty much how Crysis goes.
I wish I saw someone alsrrady commented this. I basically said the exact same thing lmao
We need a crysis trilogy remaster. That series on modern hardware with a graphical update would be amazing
@@SsjRedneck i thought they already did that though

I don't think I have ever seen Brandy so happy 😂
This man's pure chadness and awesome videos encouraged me to try it, too. Thanks, man, keep up the great stuff, I love seeing it
Ah, just as Todd Howard intended.
i just started messing with those bows and ive been having a blast with them. I generally like recurve bows in any game so naturally i loved the compound bow when i got my hands on it for the first time. pretty coincidental that you post this right after that.
not a coincidence. I've been watching you. turn around. you're about to get stealth arched

For anyone who has slept on the V.A.F.S. mod it's fully integrated into the perk and SPECIAL system.
Higher perception slows time more, and all perks that effect VATS normally also effect VAFS.
It activates like the Bullet Time mod but also has a second toggle to activate critical hits. It's an all around amazing mod if you never really cared for VATS but like bullet time and it's pretty light weight too boot.
It's only draw back is that it alters MANY perks, so there will be compatibility issues when using it with a lot of other perk mods.

Kind of sick though that one of those madmen were crazy enough to fire a small nuclear warhead inside a building.

hop on
@@ItsYaBoyBrandyBoyYou play that garbage glitchy mess of a Ubisoft game too? I hope you haven’t invested too much time. This video shows you have sanity and self worth, don’t play FH man. You’ll lose it. Still like these heavy mods though, wish they were bountiful on console
@@Dale_Nightking let me guess you played for honor one time and you raged so hard you broke a controller?
@@cool_cakeTo be fair though, the game isn't very fun. At least in my opinion. Every time I've played it was just people spamming the same attacks and getting me stuck in stun locks where I have maybe a half second every fight to counter the first attack and hope I can turn the lock.
The game is very unfriendly to new players, I can't really be bothered to sweat that much for the sake of dripping out my knight.

As many RUclipsrs stepped off Fallout 4 modding, BrandyBoy is my savior in finding good mods and content for FO4. been using this mod since 2018 and its still one of the best
I have recently bought Fo4 and I decided to do a few vanilla playthroughs before shoving mods,to get a 100% and because without mods a game gets more boring to play after you deleted the mods(It happened to me when I played CP2077 and I do not wish for that to ever happen again), and recently I got the "Assult Rifle" without modifications and it was horrible, I mean , Semi auto!? Who the hell thought it was a good idea that?!
Edit:I ask for forgiveness for my poor use of the english lenguage
Mate your English is fantastic
Your English is great. The most important part is to be able to be understood, which you have managed perfectly. However there were a few grammatical errors in your post that mark you out as someone who does not speak English natively. I thought I'd help you out, so here is a corrected copy of what you wrote:
"I recently bought Fallout 4, and I decided to do a few vanilla playthroughs before installing mods, to get the original experience. I did this because, in my opinion, when you remove your mods, the vanilla game becomes boring to play. It happened to me when I played CP2077, and I do not wish for that to ever happen again. Recently I got the ""Assault Rifle" weapon without modifications, and it was horrible.
I mean, Semi auto!? Who the hell thought that was a good idea?!"
By all accounts English is a particularly difficult language to learn, and you are well on your way to native proficiency. You write better than some of my fellow Brits.
@@user-vn1wz3tr1h great to see a fellow Brit
@@user-vn1wz3tr1h English is anywhere from being difficult, try learning Finnish or Chinese
@@user-uy7bn4kt2b Please read my comment again, I never said that English was the hardest language! Also, there is no such language as "Chinese". I believe you mean Mandarin?
You laugh like lego batman
There's something immensely satisfying about hitting a target with a bow at long distance. Also I am in love with some of the visual mods you have here like those darker nights and stuff.
"anyone who plays as a stealth archer has noodle arms"
You'd be amazed at how jacked archers actually were, methinks.
When you shot Kellogg with the nuclear arrow you can see a silhouette his soul evaporating in the fire.
Bro said ask the Native Americans(IM DEAD)
Just like the natives
I'm super late to this video, but watching someone take Raider heads off with a bow while giggling like a psychopath is something I can always appreciate
I am addicted to your content. I found you very recently and i binged a stupid amount of your videos. Keep up!
Watched most of this playthrough live. Epic indeed
the way his laughing hysterically sometimes makes this more entertaining
The bows and crossbows are indeed a lot of fun!
You might want to try the same thing using only a syringe.
Based on the SRO (Syringe Overhaul) mod.

2:06 actually, archery requires a good amount of strength from what I know. The rest is spot on, though.
Just wanted to say that this is amazing and your combination of mods is crazy. I'm planning on installing all of these in an attempt to replicate the game, but was curious how much space this would take up.
i used to be adventurer like you, till i took an arrow to the knee
i like this new genre of youtuber. delusional self-aware deep-voiced adult men playing powerful videogames while casually cracking some of the best jokes in history through voice-overs
This video brought me pure enjoyment and solid entertainment 😌
I avoided doing my job at McDonald’s to watch the live streams for this

Fun fact: IRL, arrows shot from powerful bows or crossbows don't get stuck in living targets.
They penetrate, causing a massive bleeding, with victims dropping dead being out of blood. It's actually kinda funny to see them drop as the concept of being already dead stays alien to them until the very end.
I'm not even playing fo4 anymore but this has quickly become my favorite channel
Archery + Stealth + Explosive/nuclear arrows = This... Yes. ALL the yes. Hilarious vid.
My favourite part is the fact that it is cannon by Bethesda that 1 INT characters get a law degree
That Cambridge rider with the remington learned the mad minute.

Hol' the fck up, is that a car!? A working, fully functioning, moving car!?
Do you think there was just a 1 vs 1 war between the Natives and the colonists? It wasn't a bow vs gun situation. Before the Trail of Tears the Natives had long ago aquired firearms through the fur trade, which happened in the 1600s. The Trail of Tears happened in the 1800s, and is often viewed as our biggest defeat and heartbreak. I hope I have helped clear up some historic facts. Native American history is important for me as Ojibwe Anishinaabe. I enjoy your videos and will now continue to enjoy, while trying to figure out how to get the Bows on my Fallout 4. Thanks for the entertainment.
“Has noodle arms”
Laughs in 90 lbs draw
Iv always wondered. If there's pipe and improvised weapons, why is there no bow and arrow in the base game.
because then everyone would just play as a stealth archer lol
@@ItsYaBoyBrandyBoy I would lol
As someone who's very enthusiastic about guns, I have a soft spot for bows and archery in general. I made a bow using PVC pipes and fiberglass markers and although it's not necessarily the best in performance, it is functional for the most part. The legend known as "Ahoy" said it best in his Iconic Arms video series: "The Bow and Arrow -- Elegant... Effective... Eternal."
I actually wondered the same myself years ago. Tried to do a stealth archer equivalent on survival mode. No companions, no mods, no power armor.
The verticality and openness of some locales like the quarry, downtown Boston and Nuka World make this playstyle fairly fun in isolation, but for the most part it's not fun or viable. All enemies bum rush you so you have to drop them fairly quickly. You shift between blwoing your cover on the first shot and having to have a shootout for the rest of the enemies and cheesing the broken stealth system which allows you to dissapear in front of their eyes. Obviously I mainly used the bolt action for this. I didn't end up taking the playthrough really far. The game is clearly not designed with something like this in mind and most quests take place in linear dungeons where the opportunities for stealth are minimal. In fact there's practically no benefit to it in any situation over going in guns blazing.
When I fought Kellogg I found the fort Hagen armoury passcode and got the fat man, he then proceeded to say let’s fight then, in which he received a small nuclear warhead through his cranium instantly atomising his entire body, don’t know how I retrieved any brain matter or anything really from a dust pile
The way you have the game modded makes it look like an entirely different game, and it looks great! I don’t play modded, but this makes me want to!
Saw the title, and knowing nothing about FO4, thought "certainly".
I remember getting 100% stealth in Morrowind. The game kind of 'stopped' after that. I ended up rolling it back a couple points just so the AI would work again.
Brandyboy: has a goth girl preset
Me: I see you are a man of culture as well.
This is the first video I have seen of this person, and it's already very promising.
Also, I feel like the "This can't be good for the economy" catchphrase has a story behind it.
I looked away for a moment and looked back to a Day's Gone playthrough lol loved the video
Idk if the old school MW2 music happened when you got a kill or when you level up but I'll tell you what I do know. As soon as I heard it I instantly subscribed simply due to the immediate rush of nostalgia, and I will indeed be making some changes to my fallout 4 because of it haha thank you very much keep up the good work!!!
This guy is having way too much fun with this, and I love it.
"I joined the Railroad not because I believe toasters are people..." this line made me chuckle.
10:12 the immersion is amazing considering how many possible chemicals that you can make a moli with with many not douseable in water. For legal reasons I do not suggest making anything of the sort however say you were curious there are your basics like gasoline which if in a high enough quantity will be hard to douse in just water or laquors such as wood finish. These liquids create a class B fire which can have serious consequences if you try to use water to extinguish.
P.S. I hope you all have a fantastic day and stay safe everyone.
"Has noodle arms." My dude, Have you ever pulled back a hunting bow in real life? You can't do that with noodle arms. lmao
oooh love this style of video my good sir, keep it up !!
Man, if you could at some point put out a list/modpack of your Fallout 4 Mods, it'd be epic. Because man it looks SO good

21:42 does someone noticed BrandBoy was Darth Sidious for just 1 Second😂🤣
With how much stealth archery seems to be a thing with Skyrim, it amazes me that I never played one a bit. Ever since I got Skyrim modding on console, I stuffed in all the lore friendly/fitting magic mods in that I could: as well as lots of other things including weapon and enchantment mods along with fashion stuff. Have barely touched a non-magical weapon since: I have so many magic mods that all my characters are mages and still are unique somehow.
Yeah, never being spotted and sneaking around is nice: but you haven't lived until you've thrown a miniature galaxy at someone.
Fun Fact, Mama Murphy has a strength level of 19, which is only 3 levels less than a normal deathclaw
