Do you think it’s a coincidence that the Brotherhood of Steel sets up shop at the Boston Airport, whose real life airport code is BOS, therefore an acronym of the Brotherhood?
Deeeeeeeep
Maybe thats what Paladin Danse is referring to with it's parking location being "a stroke of tactical genius"
Ohh god hes makeing a black hole
Kate Duff-Us but then you realize the real life equivalent to Boston Airport is actually Logan Airport
Holy crap, that’s some weird shit
It was night time when the Prydwen came out for me and it was the coolest thing i'd ever seen in any games i'd played, I was awe struck.
happend to me!
nolan sayag same
nolan sayag me too and the spotlights were on it was so cool
Go play Witcher 3 it's way "cooler", just in a different way
I don't like the BOS but after seeing that for the first time, I joined. I went back and told Danse "I'll join, take me to the airship." Lol
"IT'S NOT A BLIMP, IT'S A RIGID AIRSHIP" - Captain guy from Archer
You are correct a blimp has one heilum/hydrogen filled gasbag and a gondola, a ridged airship has a gondola and the gas bags are within the actual airship
Reminds me of the GoodYear "blimp"
@Black Wolf eeeh~~ yeah, for the and i quote
JESUS THE HELIUM
“GODDAMN IT STOP SMOKING! YOU’LL KILL US ALL!”
This is actually a very good base for the brotherhood because it eliminates the threat of hostile creatures on the ground and can support ground forces with it's air superiority
@Roberto The Super Mutant and considering how 'common' mini-nukes and fat men are, and how powerful they would realistically be especially if it hit the generator well...
About 450 miles between DC and Boston... in 24 hours, that's an average of 18.5 mph... easily achievable.. airships could do 45-50mph, so a 12 hour trip isn't too far-fetched.
Stephen Armsworth The trip at 50mph would be about 7 hours, so not totally inconceivable.
and considering that it is nuclear powered it most likely has a increased speed when compared with diesel.
Well you do have to take into account that it was the first of its design, so there may be some things they didn't think of/want to risk adding.
Black Wolf Nuclear power can give more oomph than oil based diesel
@Black Wolf, it’s has a shitload of power, just look at this from the Fallout wiki:
“Chryslus Corvega: it has a fully analog system with no electronics, over 800 horsepower, and reaches 60 mph (97 km/h) in under a second. It has a spacious trunk and an interior capable of accommodating as much as seven people, including a super mutant, robobrain, and a deathclaw.”
Only 800 ponies, not too bad, but could be better... 0-60 in under a fucking second!? 7 seats? The torque output of the engine has to be ridiculous, two seater purpose built supercars struggle to break 2 seconds with twice the power. Considering an aircraft carrier has an engine built for torque... whatever the Prydwen’s too speed is she reaches it bloody quickly.
40.000 tonnes? That's only a few bananas short of a Bismarck
And 5k away from the Titanic
i think he meant american tons, so that about 35 thousand tonnes
Well that's an awesome fact.
*inhale*
FROM THE MIST A SHAPE A SHIP IS TAKING FORM!
@@darthfenrir4892 AND THE SILENCE OF THE SEA IS ABOUT DRIFT INTO A STORM.
It makes sense for the Prydwen to use Hydrogen as according to Fallout's lore, most of the worlds resources are consumed, and Helium is like Oil, there ins't a lot left
it also escapes in to space if not contained.
Also the hindenburg did not happen because in the fallout universe the nazis did not exist :D
@@dylangregory2728 Umm yes they did. The timeline split didn't occur until the mid to late 60s. Everything before that was the same, you can even find lore referencing WW2 in the games.
@cool101jr *lipsmack* fuck
They could use vaccum bags
“ there is a power armor helmet that you can get early in the game”
Me: oh cool, I didn’t know you could buy a-
“But you do have to steal it”
@Chris Oly hows 2020 goin for you
@Chris Oly
It's an incomplete leveled suit though (at least in my experience) so if it's early game you'll likely only find T-45 or T-51 pieces on the frame.
Asside from Nuka-World (the Quantum armor will ALWAYS be X-01, but it's a hassel to get), the only way to get a full suit of X-01 is to go to the 35 Court building *after* you reach level 28. It's also leveled, but it will be a COMPLETE suit.
Chris Oly
You can also easily get a full suit of Power Armor from the abandoned shack in the middle of the Glowing Sea, I personally got a full suit Mk. VI X-01 power armor from there.
Joshua Ramos - Depends on the level’s.
I'm betting you sided with the minutemen and used either Codsworth or Preston as your main companion on your first playthrough
What's more amazing if the encounter happens at nighttime. It happened at nighttime the first time I saw the Prydwen. It was badass
Same. I walk out of the building and seeing a blimp along with the vertibird dropping out then flying off
Yea same
You sure you guys arent working on something like that
laughs in console commands
Same! I play FO4 differently every time but one thing I always do the same is take Nick along, kill Kellogg and walk out at night. It's kind of a touchstone moment that brings all the different playthroughs together.
I'd like to know where they get all the replacement VertiBirds which seem to have a 100%/Mission crash rate.
Cardboard vertibirds powered by rubber band rotors maybe? I always laughed at how they only have 4 docking spaces on the prydwen, yet in my playthrough at least 30 vertibirds have crashed or exploded throughout the commonwealth.
factory outside Commonwealth? such as Adams AFB, shit-ton of military joint-bases around DC, still likely have scrap & salvage. Vertibirds likely fly several hundred mph outside battle. can do the trip in a day
sandor szabados from adams air base of course! lol but they probably have the ability to reproduce vertibirds
Brotherhood of Steel builds them.
KANE AND ABLE Where does it say that? Not hating, I love the brotherhood and want to see the source
Fun fact: there is a town called Bethesda in wales
oh i didn't know that im gonna see if i can go there
Bethesda is based in Bethesda Virginia
Bethesda is also a city in Maryland, USA. I live like an hour’s drive away.
Do the citizens of this city asks you for dealing with raiders and walk in a T pose?
Another fun fact it means house of peace and is super common name.
From DC to Boston as the crow flies is ~394.27 miles. The "skyscrapers full of super-mutants" were probably the ruins of NYC, if they went straight from DC to Boston the route would take them straight over NYC.
I actually never thought of that.
I want a Fallout game set in NYC, I think that would be pretty neat. Especially if you could return to the Pitt in Fallout 3 and see how that has changed.
@@halopro8958 i think the next game will be in the NYC
cem tastemir wEsT vIrGiNia
@@cemtastemir109 West Virginia. Take it. Or leave it.
I think an airship is a super practical design to travel around post nuclear USA. Historically speaking they were pretty much indestructible in the first years of WW1. They flew so high that no fighter plane of those years could reach them, and until the brits invented incendiary rounds (a small amount of white phosphorus in the bullet) they were impervious to the plane mg's (fun fact they actually had guys whose job was to patch up the bullet holes in the huge gas tanks) and the fact that they had multiple big gas tanks meant that it was really hard to bring one down (kinda like sinking a wooden ship). And it doesn't need a working runway like a plane for it to land.
So this means they can move from point A to B at high altitude, hostile factions on the ground lack the equipment to bring them down, due to its "buoyancy" it requires less fuel to move it around and its quick moving (other alternative is to walk with a couple of pack brahmins hauling your equipment. So dont think of Prydwen as a fighting vehicle but more of a transport one.
Also i think those jet engines on the flight deck are for maneuvering (like retro thrusters on a space craft or a maneuvering water jet engines on a modern ship). All in all is probably the best post great war design of a transport vehicle in FO universe.
Keep up the good work Ox, love the vids, even tho i never played Fo4 :)
Edit: also the lack of beds could mean that the crew of the prydwin is on rotation, meaning somebody works 8 hours while another one sleeps and the 3rd is on his time off.
BloodRaven they could also use the jets to help carry heavier weight if that is ever necessary
+TheObsidianX Certainly useful in a crisis. IMHO I like the Prydwen's design. Though I do wonder if the extra compliment of soldiers in transport end up using sleeping bags and hammocks...
BloodRaven I was thinking the same thing! Since its 90% steel rockets and mini nukes cant penetrate the outer shell so the gas tanks are safe,however idk much how powerful are lazers vs steel,so that might be a problem :/
Delta as i said. Historically airships flew HIGH (some operated even above 20 000 feet) So i think they would just fly over anything that could hurt them. I think random raiders and super muties wouldnt bother shooting a dot in the sky.
But they weren't flying 20 000 feet up upon entering the commonwealth, it's a decent transport, but can't be used near the front lines due to vulnerability.
I love the idea and look of the prydwen, but the interior design is horribly ham-handed.
1: The completely unused room at the back.
2: the commander (Maxson) is seperated from the command bridge, which means his commands reach his subordinates much slower.
3: To reach basically anything on the prydwen, you need to go up a vertical ladder. In powerarmor. With the supplies for the kitchen, mechanics, etc. Real nice. Because stair are too simple and convenient I suppose.
4: Heaps of unused space inside the main room. They could have put so much more in there, but its half empty. At least fill it with more hydrogen bags.
5: the complete lack of offensive and defensive weapons. They could have bolted turrets with machineguns, rocket and mininuke launchers and much more to the hull.
The ship is beautiful but the game designers didnt fully use its potential.
Riesenfriese The only thing I might argue against is the Prydwn seems to have been here more so for reconnaissance and patrol rather than for war, so it’s understandable too for it to not be decked out with weapons.
Riesenfriese I thought similar things
Exactly. What to say? Only Bethesda softworks. They havent sense for details. Good idea, but bad wrapping. They had to leave development to obsidian entertaiment and they had to develop only elder scrolls
Patrik Helis I mean they have a pretty good attention and sense of detail in there games but alright.
@@doomslayer2937 you said it very good. I agree with you in any aspect you wrote, but they could do it much much better. I love the idea of prydwen. I love airships but wrapping of this construction is very poor. I know it is only game but they destroyed the potential. And fallout 4, as a whole, work very poorly. I believe that obsidian would do it much better. Fallout new vegas was far better than 4. If obsidian had to do Prydwen it would be another story. Better story
"It's a fun drop to the ground if you're in power armour" and even more fun if you're not!
lol
True, I must have jumped off into the water without power armor thousands of times. It's fun and you don't die.
@@turtlegamez4274 I remember trying this years ago, I dont think i ever jumped into a deep enough part because of all the debris and plane parts underneath
@@AA-bz1pr Idk, there was one spot from which I just get a running start and then I fall into relativly deep water and live. (that depth would still kill you irl tho but It's a game so whatever. I guess jumping from a blimp into neck deep water is considered safe in Fallout)
[Quicksaving…]
Anti air guns: rebuit*
Prydwen: oh no
Lol, yes, for all that trash talk about the locals, and for being such a great strategist, Maxson was a real moron to park a nuclear powered, hydrogen blimp in the range of soo much artillery manned by a pissed off, volunteer equivalent of the national guard. Especially if said big guns included one in each settlement and five (one for each corner) on the Castle.
In their defense artillery is almost never seen in the Fallout games, so I doubt a lot of people sit and think about what to do if the enemy has artillery seeing as it is very unlikely. It would be like seeing an enemy that wasn't technologically advanced enough to make guns and making plans for them rolling tanks forward; impractical and very unlikely.
@@darhfoxter Maybe so but if those guns where in use during the Prydwen's stay in Boston, I can't imagine Maxson not recognizing their capabilities and danger to his ship if ever turned on him. If they can grasp the concept of man-held nuclear artillery, they can certainly catch on to the more conventional version quickly enough. In Fallout New Vegas the Artemis orbital cannon was described as glorified artillery by a brotherhood scribe, so they know what such tech is and used for. Just because it's not seen as a game mechanic doesn't mean it's lost tech from a lore perspective.
@@Captain_Razor_88 I never said it was lost tech, I said it was very uncommon. The artillery wasn't actually rebuilt until after the Prydwen already arrived in Boston and if my memory is correct there wasn't much time between the artillery being built and the attack. Even if Maxson and the Brotherhood noticed the artillery and recognized it as a threat, their only options were to destroy it quickly or land the Prydwen. The first was impractical since the Minutemen would notice their approach and probably open fire instantly, and landing such a large ship safely in a post apocalypse isn't exactly as simple as sit it on the ground. There is also the fact that the Brotherhood didn't really care about the Minutemen. The Minutemen weren't in the way of their goals so the Brotherhood had no reason to consider them an issue, especially since the Brotherhood believe that they're helping the Commonwealth so as far as they're concerned they want the same thing the Minutemen do. They had no time to take appropriate action, and no reason to believe they were the ones being targeted.
@@darhfoxter facts
I tried to calculate the Prydwen's speed based on the arrival scene at the beginning of the video. The method is by screenshotting two different scenes with roughly one second in difference. From there, I made a rough estimation of the distance traveled by the Prydwen in one second.
What I got is the Prydwen might be moving at the speed (metric) around 6 mps to 8 mps. In kilometers per hour, that would be 21.6 kmh to 28.8 kmh.
After that I opened Google Maps and tried to make a rough estimation of the distance between Adams Air Force Base and Boston Airport. Since Adams Air Force Base is a fictional place, I used Andrews Air Force Base instead.
And the flight distance I got (straight line) is roughly 640km
So based on those two numbers, it probably took Prydwen just around a day to travel from Adams Air Force Base to Boston Airport.
Nice. Also keep in mind the ship is obviously moving slower than usual due to flying over a city. They'd want to be more wary of navigation dangers as well as potential threats and due to vertibirds taking off which they would not want to do moving full speed. I'm going to guess they're moving quarter speed if not less.
Quick maths
How did you figure that out ?
Indra Setiawan you must be the life of the party m8
You need to redo a few calculations I got 10mps and 667 kms taking longer than just a day probably about a day and a half
The Prydwen weighs 40,000 tons. That's 80,000,000lbs. Hydrogen has a lifting capacity of around 71.05lbs per 1,000 cubic feet. That means that the Prydwen would need about 1,125,967,628.5 cubic feet of Hydrogen to lift itself. To give you an idea of how much that is, the volume of the Empire State Building is 37,000,000 cubic feet. So there would need to be almost 31 Empire State Building volumes worth of Hydrogen on board to keep it aloft. Unless those gas tanks are under some crazy pressure, I don't think there is that much on there.
Instead, the extra lift comes from the downward facing engines on the outside. Though those engines would need an butt-ton of fuel since they'd be running basically all the time while it's in the air. That's a lot of extra weight, not counting the weight of the engines themselves. Maybe those 4 engines are some kinda crazy nuclear powered thrusters or something so they wouldn't need liquid fuel like jets do.
Since we don't know the top speed of the Prydwen, I'll use the fastest ever recorded speed for an airship, which was a Zeppelin Luftshifftechnik LZ N07-100 over Germany, which clocked in at 69.6mph. Adams Air Force base is not a real place, but it's based upon Joint Base Andrews, which is in Prince George's County, Maryland. For the Boston airport, I'll assume it's where the real-world Logan Airport is.
The straight-line distance between those two places is 395 miles. At 69.6mph, the Prydwen could do it in 5 hours, 40 minutes, roughly. So it's not impossible to say that it could have been dispatched from Adams to Boston in the time between Dance reporting and the player seeing it.
Damn
They use a portable fusion generator plucked off a particular aircraft carrier.
Proctor Ingram addresses the fuel problem for keeping the Prydwyn aloft.
*clap*
AurikWinterskin is the aircraft carrier your referring to the one in fallout 3 forgot the name
Rivet City - and while it's not outright said that's where they got it from, it's heavily implied.
“The ship was named after a fictional king trying to liberated his people from tyranny and oppression”

Preston Garvey, that’s not supposed to happen
@@Amadeus-ni3et yes I'm sure you believe that
@@Astrocat-od5cy if you stay true to the lore then yes they are. They are the only ones that put fear in the hearts of raiders and gunners. As soon as prydwen arrives you see vertibird and patrols out there making the wasteland a safer place for an average wastelander as much as i love the minutemen lore wise they cant match the institute. And the railroad doesnt really cares what happens to the rest of the wasteland.
2 years to design, 6 years to build.
2 hours for the Minutemen to blow it up.
*>Nice balloon, bros. Too bad it couldn't stand up to conventional artillery.*
NERD RAGE INTENSIFIES
you really expect an AIRSHIP TO SURVIVE SHELLING OF 152 MM HOWITZERS (at the least) when other airships could be brought down with 7.7 mm Incendiary shells?
And the exact caliber of the minutemen artillery looks to be 350-400 mm.
Well they probably didn’t expect to be attacked by the minute men. Otherwise they could have kept the ship moving, gone up to a higher altitude, got out of range of the artillery, or attack any settlement with mortars in rang of the ship before hand. But yeah artillery go boom.
Nice airship too bad it couldn't stand up to 18th century tactics
the minutemen had to use multiple strikes from multiple areas, a single shell wouldnt do much damage
@@justsomerandombirdwithinte5896 what's your logic about that?
We're running out of Helium right now, in real life, much less the fallout universe, Oxhorn.
Should be plenty of Helium in the Fallout Universe seeming it is created by the decay of uranium. Being a post nuclear war world there should be plenty of uranium decay.
@@jasa9707 sure, but it is released freely into the atmosphere so it all simply escapes never to be seen again.
Hydrogen is lighter then Helium.
But even if it was a gas that was twice as light as hydrogen,the weight to lift ratio is still way off.
Try tieing a cinder block to a birthday balloon & see how well if floats....
If the ship is fusion powered it would likely be making helium
Which is why we should be going to Jupiter.
It is practical to use a blimp because it is more energy efficient when oil is in such short supply and the hydrogen is plentiful as well as re-useable
MrOldgreggmanfish It's ability to be a mobile armory also greatly benefits it, and it's creators wanted it to go anywhere, not just the ocean. A real one wouldn't carry a science lab but I agree, it would be practical.
But it is a sitting duck
The reason blimps were no longer used after about WW1 was because they are sitting in the air and easily targeted
Ragnurhelgon but not many have the ordnance required to do damage to it
The minutemen artilery might be able to do it realistically but not much else would be able to do that
galloping goose it's ability to be a mobile armory and reasonably secure forward operating base is its main benefits. However due to it being a base, having a science lab also makes sense. The Brotherhood value tech so being able to experiment with what they find in the field makes perfect sense in my opinion
Rukardio anything with that kind of fire power could do it
The thing can't move and is full of helium

@@NurseAmamiya ok so I don’t get why everyone says this. I got 3 settlement quests in my whole play through, and listened to minuteman radio for majority of that playthtough

why is it quoted
agreed
All they do is blow up.fact
Tinker Tom said that Helium was rare, so the only thing they could use is Hydrogen. I think they're main problem is that they made a Blimp.
Dubspool _ As I said Tinker Tom said Helium is rare and in a world were most factories are decommissioned, there would be no one to refine helium or collect it.
As long as it's airtight there is nothing wrong with hydrogen. a 100% hydrogen atmosphere won't ignite.
yeah, the REAL dangerous gas you need to look out for is oxygen, considering it's the main fuel in fires, and breaks down pretty much anything over time
lithium is pretty damn volatile, but it's a solid a room temperature. Hooray for protons!
ToxicCheese TM it also has a fusion reactor

2017 Oxhorn: The Prydwen is evil! It was built by slaves and they killed everyone in Rivet City to make it!
Those are not necessarily contradictory statements. Being built by slaves and getting it's power source through questionable means does not make it any less cool looking. Haha
@@victorylane2377 yeah agree
now I'm am REALLY grateful that I let the Minutemen blow that thing to kingdom come. a little artillery goes a Long way after all
There is no proof the power plant is from Rivet City, just a derelict carrier is mentioned. Also the Prydwen was operational at the time the new power plant was found so the source carrier could have been anywhere.
@@jonmusicia2595 thats not good reasoning because all your doing is making all the hard work the slaves put in meaningless yes they where slaves but destroying something they built takes away that little bit of i guess acomplishment they may have had its like after defeating germany after world war 2 we just destroyed all rocket research and technology
destroying the prydwin is like burning books just because you dislike them
POV: when you first seen the Prydwen you started shooting it and the vertibirds
I wish that some tanks and apc's were repairable
Ikr there are 27 APCs and 3 tanks in the Commonwealth which could be repaired and taken to be used to aid the brotherhood of steel to use in combined assault with power armor and solders and vertibirds air support, but would need to have place to repair etc and the corvega factory would work and need a way to move the tanks and APC from place to place and need a navel ship to move idk why the brotherhood of steel didn't build a naval ship to use and could be a air carrier too and put artillery pieces like the minutemen , there was a aircraft carrier in DC area they could study and build a simple one and have jet fighters or propeller plane bombers and fighters to use them in combat most likely propeller cause jet fuel is little to none but propeller planes can run on ethanol fuel if they grew lots of corn and used it
Prydwen looks like some behemoth wonder weapon the nazis would create in some science fiction where they survive ww2
P77777777 zeppelins aren’t exactly “future tech” so creating something like this seems plausible
yeah it looks like it belongs in wolfenstein
Well under maxen the BOS was kinda like the nazis. With there supireor race theory
Like that one ship from wolfenstein?
Cough cough wolfenstein cough jk its very good
I always thought it would be cool if the Brotherhood would restore some of the Tanks or ACPs in the wasteland

Seriously. At least he's moving up the command chain. From a lowly soldier combing the desert for Lonestar, to the Science Officer on Voyager, and now he's finally a captain.
That is Admiral Tuvok. Though I highly doubt he is finding this whole time being on this Earth very much fun. Those Multi-universes and Time Travel. He is so going to get an ear full from Starfleet for this. Better off fighting the Mirror Universe than this place. As people here are CRAZY!

I would like to know why the lone wanderer of fallout 3 didn't come with the prydwen and the Brotherhood. Only thing I can think of is maybe he/she stayed with the remainder of Brotherhood that stayed in DC
@@gage2189 But Broken Steel is canon, and the Lone Wanderer survived.
@@paladinslate9609 Forgot 'bout that.
Semi related but I'd like to see a fallout game where the sole survivor goes to china aboard the yangtze and have the whole thing set in china
I think they would have left following Elder Maxon radically changing the values and goals of the DC brotherhood
The Lone Wanderer might have died with Sarah, or Bethesda decided that sacrificing themselves in the Purifier was the true ending after all.
I'm not a massively patriotic man.. But having a badass ship called the Prydwen in my favourite game series was a goosebumps moment for sure! Cymru am Byth!
Neither am I but "Men of Harlech" is the only nationalistic song that does anything for me and I'm not even Welsh! Well, not by birth anyway - it's the only place in the world I feel attached to.
I always thought it sounded gay,
As a welsh speaker i can say that the prydwen is pronounced “the pruhd-when” not the pridwin
Thank you
I assumed that it was like "Kai-ser" and "Caesar"
Okay so, trying to figure out how fast it moves is fairly hard. I'd say we could start by looking at the actual distance that the Prydwyn covers. If we take the rough amount of time it takes the sole survivor to cross the entirety of the common wealth on foot, which is about 20 minutes (Minus enemy encounters of course. This is the most reliable realistic number I can easily find a source for without doing it myself) and compare it to So lets think about how fast we walk in fallout 4. This can be a real issue. I'm going to estimate that the player character goes at ABOUT the average human run speed, (since they seem in decent fitness, feel free to argue maybe a little more or less) at 15-16 mph lets say 15 miles per hour to keep it simple. if it takes them about 20 minutes at near constant run speed, that means the map is about 5 miles across, (again. Give or take a bit. The run did have a few moments of slow down. I'm going to lean more towards 6 at least.) So lets say that the map is 6 miles across. The best estimation I can gleam from the videos I've watched is that the prydwyn successfully makes it from the far end of the commonwealth to the boston air port, in about 5 minutes and thirty seconds (not exact of course. again. Doing my best here). If we assume that the distance it travels from spawn is roughly the length of the commonwealth, we can take it that it has crossed the entire 6 miles in about 5 minutes. this means that it is going over a mile per minute. If we assume it took about 5 minutes to travel 6 miles, it's mph would be 72 mph, though that's very much a loose estimate, making do with what I have. I really hope you found that interesting if anyone bothered to read through all this, I was really curious myself! Have a great day everyone.
I'll take it! Thanks!
Lamron Jr Loved it! :) It could be a cruising speed tho,since they were relaying a message..
@Oxhorn can you please specify when Paladin Danse talks about the BOS
creating their own suits of T-60? Is it a moment of dialogue when you
are working on his affinity with him? or is it a quest dialogue option during a particular mission? I'm
not saying I don't believe you its just I don't remember him saying it
anytime I've had him as my companion unless I just forgot.
Thanks
We can't really figure this out in game, scale and distances are not to real standards. The best route would be estimated time of departure and arrival
If you can think of a better way to do it, feel free to, I'd love to see your math. This was just my best attempt at it ^^

I am Welsh and you PERFECTLY said Prydwen
Oedd on dipyn bach i ffwrdd
He pronounced it wrong , its prydwen not prydwyn . So it would be pryd-when for non welsh speakers
@@thesurvivalgamer8732 I was going to type that as well. I was so suprised when I learnt about the name
Dim yn drwg am americanwr- gem da yw DisgynAllan 4
Fuckingr gibberishr.
6 years to design and build, 5 years in service, FO3 was 10 years in the past. Unless my math is wrong there is something off there.
Hmmm, good catch
wtf I never saw a spoiler alert I fucking got the broken steel D L C
they could've been designing it during the events of fallout three, or they could've laid the hull before they were completely finished designing it and they could be counting the time it took to design and to build it separately despite a year or so overlapping, its not exactly unheard of after all.
Daniel Kalugin hey nobody cares, fallout 3 came out years ago get with the times or stop crying
As Oxhorn stated, it took 2 years to design the ship and 2 years to gather the necessary resources. Most likely they started gathering the resources early on and then once they felt that the design of the ship's skeletal structure (presumably they started by figuring out how big it would be, designed the hull and support structure first, and then figured out where everything would be within the vessel last) was going to stay the same and they had enough resources to build it, they started construction. Depending on how quickly they could collect the resources needed for the framework, they might have started construction within 6 months or so.
Have to admit, the Prydwen is probably the coolest base in the ‘Fallout’ series. And it’s probably one of the few flying vehicle in the post-war era.
When I first seen the Prydwen there was a radio storm and it was night time. One of the best entrances I've ever seen in a game.
almost to 100 thousand oxhorn keep up the amazing videos and interesting storys
i look forward everyday to hear your voice and listen to your story tellling and i love the time yiu take to tell the storys and the way you tell their stories
Thanks, we're almost there!

I'd love to see a study of the brotherhood like the one you did of the the Institute being evil.
Already is one
If you are willing to murder innocent people in cold blood to take control of any tech they have in their possession, which historically the BOS is known to have done then yes, they are evil. (also have been know to "draft" commoners & force them to serve in their ranks, aka slavery)
They may have "the best of intentions" but they are murderers & tech hoarders, they do not share their tech or knowledge with anyone. They are definitively evil.
You may have a positive impression of the BOS due to FO3 which had a rogue group of BOS soldiers who did their best to protect the citizens of the DC hell hole but they are not by any means the standard of how the BOS behaves. (and is exactily why the Outcasts were formed)
(having said all that I still love the BOS, just wish they weren't such xenophobic assholes.)
+ Pwnopolis The eastern chapter doesn't do that, though. Danse rewards you with an energy weapon when you're a civilian, he outright says they don't forcibly seize technology from civilians, and the Brotherhood is making purchases in Diamond City post-MQ instead of forcibly seizing any and all technology. Also, there's no evidence that Maxson is forcibly conscripting civilians en mass into service; they have an open door policy, like Maxson did, and allow wastelanders to join.
Unless said Wastelanders are Ghouls, Synths or Supermutants - in whcih case it's exterminate them ALL.
7thsealord They only attack feral ghouls, as cited by Kells and even reprogrammed PAM, and Super Mutants torture, eat, or kill people unless they forcibly turn them into Super Mutants (since we're addressing the variant they attack in this region).
The Brotherhood and the Railroad are on opposite sides of the ideological argument when it comes to unrestricted artificial intelligence, and the game takes no stance on who is right about whether synths could mean the end of mankind or if they warrant our protection.
The Prydwen arriving is probably my favourite scene from the game. It's unlike anything you've seen before then, and it's goddamn awesome. It's powerful stuff.
Prydwen and liberty prime are hands down the coolest things in the whole game
As much I have my issues with BoS, truly amazing they got this ship up and running.
Say, how you got the performance here?
Do you mean his computer's performance? They guy's got a beast of a PC. i7 5960X with GTX 980 and 16Gb of Memory
Hmm gonna need get myself one of those one of these days.
Wade Nilsson Hmm... By the looks of things, AMD will be bringing the pain, and soon.
^^ That happened XD
BoS is the only faction that makes any sense in Fallout 4.
Kindly Welsh speaker here, yes your pronunciation is spot on.
Whew, thanks!
hehe yep, can confirm it's correct :D
Tom Delargy I can confirm even tho I'm English snd have never been to wales and am only 30 seconds into the video
Tom Delargy sxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
confirmed
the liberty prime bot is actually not engineered by the brotherhood but upgraded by them, technically you could call that "engineered by the brotherhood" but everything else except for the upgrades was made pre war by the us to liberate anchorage. so the brotherhood only upgraded or as i call it "re use and and upgrade what has already been made"
I just love how it's in his architecture. Specially on fire.
Dear Ox,
A fluid can be both liquid and gas in science.
Your sub,
RangerElite34
Probably meant "liquid"
Shut up fucking nerd
RustyShackelford6 Chances you will/are working for a nerd.
A fluid can not be a gas fluid refers only to liquids
Reptiles , not necessarily. In engineering fluids refer to any free flowing material. This refers to liquids, gases and even some solids (think sand in an hour glass).
From Washington dc to to Boston saying it was the same speed as some of the fastest blimps from ww1 it would only have takin
6 to 7 hours
That is honestly an amazing view from the airship - not many games are built to be seen from a vantage point like that.
If it is a fusion reactor, it would consume hydrogen and produce helium would it not? So the air bags would also be fuel tanks.
Likely depends on what kind of fuel they use and Hydrogen is actually somewhat better (8%) at providing lift, if they wanted to make the Prydwen fly with Helium which is significantly harder to come by they could just split hydrogen from water via electrolysis which if they can build such a airship and operate fusion reactors is not beyond them.
They could use Helium if they wanted for increased safety but they'd have to either use more of the ship to store it OR increase the power of their stabilizing thrusters, further draining their limited coolant by straining the reactor harder.
False, the airships are actually manufactured in China by a separate company because it's cheaper
Nike013 doesn't that mean the probability of brotherhood victory is impossible?
Lol, that explains the deadly hydrogen gas.
Makes sense about Chinese subs lurking around.
DEATH IS A PREFERABLE ALTERNATIVE TO COMMUNISM
CHGINA!
"Say my name." "Hindenburg." "You're goddamn- OH GOD RUN FOR YOUR LIFE"
For a ship thats suppose to hold loads of troops and supplies for a major offensive, i thought it was missing quite a lot, not too mention, it felt unprotected, yes there are vertibirds and land troops but a few turrets wouldn't hurt.
If they ever remaster Fallout 4, i hope they improve it, along with a whole bunch of stuff
Every time I see the prydwen entrance I always get chills. Fallout 4 has the best moments in the series
The 5 hydrogen bags could not possibly lift the ship. If you look at any pictures of old airships (which are different from blimps, an airship has a steel frame and a blimp is just a balloon) like the Hindenburg you notice 2 parts. The first is the large body, this consists of many hydrogen compartments (so that is one had a leak it could still fly), a few cat walks for maintenance, the luggage compartment, and the full tanks. The second is the tiny gondola that was hung below, this had the living quarters, dinning room, and everything else. Attached to the body were the engines. The crew rarely entered the main body, only to inspect the frame, the hydrogen bags, and the fuel lines. These areas were restricted to the captain and maintenance personnel only, however some passengers could enter if they had a good reason (needed to access luggage or were a student or engineer who had gained permission before takeoff) and were under constant supervision by the chief mechanic. At best the brotherhood could get a few feet off the ground. Realistically the prydwen could have a gondola that contained everything they need and only have storage in the body. However living space would be greatly reduced (the crew living quarters are HUGE) and the science lab would be reduced or removed. If you don't believe me look at old pictures and news reels of the Hindenburg and other zeppelins. The Prydwen would have to be bigger to hold enough hydrogen but if the nuclear generators are the same as the ones that are found in game that use fusion cores they would take up the same or less room as the fuel tanks in zeppelins.
In short a ship like the Prydwen could be build but it would look like the zeppelins from the 1920's. The current design could not possibly fly. Also it could not act as a landing strip for virtibirds, a zeppelins could only carry one light weight biplane to scout out the route.
Edward Olson Leave it alone- you’re talking about the game where you fight giant roaches and giant super human mutants
Logic isn’t something you should add-
I think its not just the hydrogen providing lift
How come they need to keep the reactor running or else land it for example?
It also has 4 jet engines, according to the Fallout wiki, that help provide lift. Even so, a dirty calc of carrying capacity of the 5 hydrogen bags (guesstimating they're about 40 foot diameter, or about 33.5k cubic feet of hydrogen each, and hydrogen having a lift of 68 pounds per 1,000 cubic feet) + 4 jet engines (using 747's, which have a 70kN thrust each if my google-fu is accurate) leaves the ship with a pathetic lifting capacity of around 74k pounds. I'm not going to try and calculate the mass of the thing, but given that it looks like it's almost all covered in steel plating, plus carrying other airships, gear, provisions, people, etc, I'm assuming it weighs a hell of a lot more than 74k pounds, considering that a 747 weighs in around almost ten times that amount, and isn't armored out the wazzoo. Unless I really messed up a calculation (perfectly possible), the Prydwen isn't lifting off without some sort of other lifting technology that's not mentioned in the game.

Thanks for the guide to the Prydwen. Came here because Eaglemoss is offering the model and I wanted to learn about the ship before deciding whether to buy it.
Observing this during night time is much more beautiful then daytime.
AD VICTORIAM!
That scene when it first arrives is amazing. For me, it was during the first rad storm i ever daily with which made it awe inspiring and eerie at the same time
Love how you wait a bit before saying that you have to steal the helmet
This reminds me of the Leviathan series. It's an absolutely amazing book series, and has something that I bet even Oxhorn would find amusing and interesting
I support the brotherhood I hope it's canon
BlueDragon24 I like you
well all fallout games have had the brotherhood in some way so its likely that is the cannon
BlueDragon24 screw the brother hood I love the minute men!
another settlement needs your help
Joshua Roefs no
If everyone else lives in mud and chems, this thing really is a cool and practical ship
Lets hope it is not raining so often, because...you know, all that metal and water?!
Man, Fallout 4 is such a cool game. Makes me sad that the bugs on release gave it a bad reputation on the gaming community.
? You’re thinking of Fallout 76, which doesn’t have half the lore or depth as FO4 and is still plagued by bugs and other issues
@@mattshap9731 I'm a year late but no he means fallout 4. It had alot of bugs on release pretty much like most of Bethesdas games
@@potatoplays9916 yea walking thru Boston om survival is a nightmare. Had to stop playing
i was clearing some ghouls or raiders or something at night, when i heard massive ruckus from that bloody ship. i was so panicked at first cause i thought something was coming for me. but it did look really cool to see the ship fly by over night.
@Oxhorn The speed for the Prydwen would be between 20 -30 MPH, if in good weather 30 mph. though do to her being built completely out of steel and metal i would say a solid 15 - 20 mph. Washington Dc is 394 miles from Boston so in retrospect I believe that it took the prydewn about 2-3 days and maybe half a day to get past the ruins of New York City hence from the holotape from one of the BOS soldiers talking about skyscrapers filled with Supermutants, and the only place that has lots of them is NYC so I say 3 1/2 days at 20-25 MPH to get to Boston.
Owing to my time in the Navy i can share with you that the word forecastle is typically pronounced "Folk-sull". Great work as usual. your videos are fantastic.
IN THE NAVY
You can sail the seven seas!
The only reason we need a navy is that they haven't taught Marines to walk on water. :-D
One quick note: the cabin at the rear of the vertibird deck is the controls for the holding points on the arms
Awesome that Tuvok is on board.
but was sarah lyons really killed by super mutant or was betrayed
if she was betrayed there be no logical reason for it. I mean Maxson dint take leadership till like 5 years or so after her death, not to mention he had a crush on her. an to risk wasting brotherhood resources fighting each other has never been favored. if there ever disagreements it always leads to the groups separating an staying out of each others hair but never any official killing or out right warfare.
Pic Sauce plz
Maxson was groomed to be like this by the leadership of the Capital Wasteland BoS aka Henry Casdin and Scribe Rothschild.
Ad Victoriam! A brotherhood video!
I'm glad theres a mod that plays all star when it comes into view
If I were enemies with the BoS..
Nothing clever down here...
I'd just avoid them.
Sergeant Detergent or u can build your own army form alliances and blow that shit to kingdom come 😬
@@MarkGarciay7431a666 Realistically you'd avoid them.
Technically I’m already their enemy, I’ve left Danse hanging for months, and I’ve acquired gear which far outclasses them. If they were real rather than just in a video game (or at least not bound by the limitations of the game) they’d be hunting me down. They’d also be dying, one Gauss wielding X-01 Mk III wearing lunatic more than outclasses the tinmen playing at soldier thinking they’re the biggest fish in a small pond. I’d love to see how the game turns out without my intervention... oh wait, I don’t need to, the Institute would be surrounded by corpses and synths. The Brotherhood are pussies in a floating fireball just waiting for a spark.
Not that I have Institute sympathies or some shit, fuck ‘em both. Just that the Brotherhood are severely outgunned by at least one and arguably two (Minutemen + artillery = Prydwen asplode) other factions, and likely one single person and all of their friends. The Brotherhood are the strongest faction _if_ you let them be. Not sure why you’d want to side with fascistic bullies, but whatever.
hydrogen is not flammable. hydrogen will only go into flame if there is an abundance of oxygen and is generally kept with deoxidizer for this reason but even so oxygen would most likely go with other elements like carbon. Hindenburg's flaming destruction was a mystery even today but most theorize that the wood and furniture started the fire and reached a point hot enough to burn the thin metal casing surrounding the blimp then continued the wooden ribs and most likely the last thing to catch fire was the hydrogen that met contact with the heat and oxygen. the main reason they doubt it was the hydrogen is because if there was enough oxygen to catch flame and it would be a lot of it to sustain the fire it would have most likely have been an explosion due to the pressure. hydrogen and helium don't stay in even in the most secured tanks the atoms slip straight through the cracks in the valves and connection so it requires the most care and refills for these tanks. oxhorn I hope you don't my criticism to heart it just a common mistake and one of pet peeves keep making great videos like this one!
also I totally agree on how unsafe it is to have these things readily available to walk through and open cause if one of the where to bust you know majority of who is inside would die of asphyxiation.
A few years back, was watching a documentary and mystery exploration type of show that was seriously looking at the aluminumized coating on the fabric being almost insanely flammable. It was an intriguing idea, but it's been long enough that I don't remember much more than that part.
The cause of the Hindenburg's fire remains a mystery still.

I think those tanks on the bottom are water ballast. Zeppelins used them to ascend quickly or empty them slowly to make adjustments to levvel the ship in flight. The best way to think of how a Zeppelin works it to think of it as a flying submarine.
The smaller tanks in the bottom are going to be ballast tanks, used to trim the ship left/right as well as front/back... That is why the tubes point down, so they can release their water ballast...
I. LOVE. ZEPPLINS. I WANT ONE OF THESE. I WANT ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!
You don’t know how thick the casing on the gas canisters is.
In the very bottom of the ship, internals is a console that is a more relaxed spot for the BOS soldiers, they have a score board for highest fall and survived in a powersuit
Oxhorn I took a look into the back room of the prudential which you were unsure off. It’s the broadcast station where they announced themselves during “reunions”
The airships that Kell's mentioned, I think they were to be used as Aircraft Carriers.
They took the reactor from rivet city in fallout 3
I'm certain they did, It was powering the large structure they lived in. Nobody would want to give that up.
Tho it was never really comferned. It more than likely so they did. But it's rummerd that riviy city fell to pieces so I don't think they had to fight the security or people thier
Sucks to be them
It is possible that there’s more than one old aircraft carrier still left
Damn a nuclear reactor for an aircraft carrier in an aircraft carrying aircraft
I think I know why there’s not a lot of beds for the crew of the Prydwen. My guess is that they sleep in shifts, which is common practice for navy personnel if space is limited.
I like to think the airship player home mod is 100% possible in the games lore. I mean… you can already build nuclear reactors(vault tec workshop), massive structures, MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT(contraptions add-on), and a ton of other things that really make u wonder “how in the actual blazes am I building this stuff??”
So to me, putting the SS and whatever unspoken help they are getting in building all these structures and machines into consideration, I think it’s logical that those such machines could be used to build an airship. AND it would kind of also answer the question “where do the vertibirds go if I didn’t side with the brotherhood?”
ox I think the back area is a small airtrafic control room
When the Prydwen arrives "Enemy airship deployed"
"A seven nation army couldn't hold me back!~"
after all, everyone knows about it, from the queen of england to the hounds of hell...
Prydwen: gets an explode
Anybody who didn’t like it:
*screams in WW1*
those jets on the side look like they can rotate, so they're most likely used for faster maneuvering, high speed travel, emergencies, and maybe to assist with takeoff and landing? the reason we don't see any flames or heat distortion could be because they're powered down as they're probably not needed while idling or doing slow, small scale movement.
IRL Boston is about 400 miles from Washington, so the Hindenburg (at max speed going straight line) would only take around 4.8 hours to get from one city to another.
also considering there is a good chance the jets on the Prydwen can rotate and boost it's speed it's completely possible it made it in a day, potentially even a couple hours, but I doubt they went max speed and took a direct, straight line route. so I'd say a day.
Seriously though, this thing is quick, at 60 MPH it could get from NYC to LA in slightly less than 2 days. if the BOS made more of these and used them to their full power they would easily rule the world lol.
hope I did the math right xdxdxdxd
A rocket launcher shot and the airships and hundreds of soldiers can be taken down easily
Dude, I love your character design
