    listening to the intro of this x-001 immediately makes me think of the creature from "The Thing"

  • @peterclarke7240
    @peterclarke7240 Год назад +395

    I think the idea that specimen x0001 is a flatwoods monster to be less likely than the possibility that the flatwoods monsters are actually the product OF x0001 merging with the aliens, either accidentally or deliberately, and as such it's more likely to be something like The Thing or, as you say, the alien beasties from Prey.
    My reasoning: the tiphons share similarities with the beastie from John Carpenter's The Thing, an 80s sci-fi horror film, whereas the experiments themselves, and the description of what happened to the bloatflies, seem to be heavily influenced by The Fly, also an 80s sci-fi horror film.

    I like the idea of it being a Typhon, either a Mimic or a Phantom.
    Mimics can become Weavers which can become poltergeists
    Phantoms are resurrected humans by Weavers.
    But the key note to think about is that Prey (2017) isn't an Alien game per se, it's a Cosmic Horror.
    the coral is created as a nest for a greater Typhon being to come along and devour.
    You take damage if you try to scan it which parallels the human mind breaking when gazing upon a Lovecraftian Elder God.
    The reason I state this is due to Fallout's repeated references to Outer/Elder Gods.
    So I'd theory it's an Easter egg to both Prey (2017) and it's ongoing In-Universe Cosmic Horror.

      When I was looking through this Vault all I could think was "Five of the most intelligent people on the planet couldn't find a way to sabotage the machinery?". I mean, what did they do, just rush the Assaultrons with clubs? There are several places in the bunker without constantly trained turrets. Figure your plan out, sabotage one of the doors to those areas, either build yourself something explosive because that's actually pretty easy with the materials they had on hand and they would have had the knowledge to do so or otherwise arm yourself, crack the door open and take out anything you can, repeat, profit.

    Aside from the fact that it's from a different game, the Typhon theory makes the most sense. I don't think the Flatwoods Monster's teleportation is genetic.
    Also, from the Creation Club, you can get the Prey spacesuit as an add-on. I'm probably reaching, but that could be an indicator that Prey and Fallout exist in the same universe.

    The Idea that X-001 is a Typhon would be a horrifying one; the ending of Prey 2016 implied that if even a Single One of them made it to Earth or even someone with too many of their Nuromods it would be apocalyptic in a way that makes Nuclar War look tame. As would X-001 if it's really a Typhon...
    The only saving grace would be if it was the equivalent to the "Morgan Yu" or through some Temporal shenanigans was actually Morgan from one of the endings where "IT" doesn't choose to go on a murderous rampage. A normal Phantom variant wouldn't have all those abilities at once but what pops out at the very end with potential experience with the full gamut of Typhon Nuromods might be able to do all those things.

    @KryyssTV Год назад +7

    The researchers fields of expertice all suggest that the Flatwoods Monster is the result of the research in Vault 96. Consider that the team was put together with foreknowledge of the task ahead. You had a microbiologist, a geneticist, a programmer, an aeronautics engineer and a roboticist. The vault was also equipped with both automaton fabricators and genetic engineering facilities.
    This means the end product would be a genetically modified cybernetic creature with flight capabilities. The next clue is the petri dishes as three mutations are abilities the Flatwoods monster has; these are regeneration, venom and electrokinesis. Finally the Shifting ability is uniquely associated with this creature.
    As for why the petri dishes suddenly developed identical traits or how teleportation fits into this is strange but the purple glow of the Flatwoods monsters eyes could be a clue as the Fallout Bible has this to say: "the psykers in Fallout 1 show some pretty over-the-top mutations that could take the world to Childhood's End faster than you can say "uh, his eyes are glowing?"" So what you may have here is Zetans who have been exposed to the FEV resulting in the manifestation of psychic powers who are then brainwashed or killed before being cybernetically grafted to advanced power suit technology with flight capabilities and deployed for field testing in Appalachia where they'll be mistaken for the local boogyman.

    @asd1070 Год назад +17

    Something you only mentioned, is that when the x-001 sample was analyzed, the result was as if it didn’t have anything to register.
    It certainly sounds like something that would happen with a typhon sample, given that they can seemingly imitate any inert material. On the other hand, they also have the ability to control electronics in Prey, which there doesn’t seem to be any sign of here.
    The alternative is that, possibly, the creature is something from the supernatural side of Fallout. We know how much Bethesda loves their Lovecraft references. With that in mind, this sounds more like a Shoggoth, which is VERY similar to a Typhon with it’s mimicking ability.

    • @UraniumFever76
      @UraniumFever76  Год назад +1

      I'm really hoping they dip in to that side of Fallout more soon. The unknowable! But yeah I assumed the fact it didn't register was proof it was of 'alien' origin as its genetic makeup was unlike anything from earth.

    • @commanderjason7786
      @commanderjason7786 Год назад

      (SPOILER WARNING FOR PREY)
      If it is the Typhon, then them not altering/controlling the tech in the Vault can be explained: they hadn't reached the point where they could make Technopaths yet.
      Think about it, Technopaths are shown to be at least a different subtype of Typhon in their ecology, and we don't see them in Prey until the infestation grows worse. Same thing with the Nightmare, it doesn't show up until the infestation gets worse, and until Morgan becomes more powerful via Neuromods (especially Typhon-based ones).
      Using this info, and the fact that Appalachia isn't covered in Mimics, Coral, or has an Apex actively eating it, we can assume that the Typhon infestation was killed early in development, and as such Appalachia doesn't have to worry about becoming Prey 2: Fallout Edition.
      That, or again, it's just a reference, and it didn't actually happen, or it is just tied to the Interloper or another Cryptid we haven't seen yet. Still, would be fun to hear the two universes are loosely tied to each other, or to hear the Enclave began fucking with the same shit that got Talos-1 to become a big, orbital paperweight.

    i think x0001 is a FEV mutant tbh. FEV mutants are infertile but can reproduce asexualy as was seen in the flat worms exposed to FEV. So, perhaps the specimen's ability to infect other organic material was a mutation that WesTek was able to create in this specimen to circumvent that. Furthermore, WesTek did work with Vault Tech, as they provided the ZAX computer system that WesTek used for their research. So, perhaps the US Gov (in the months before the bombs) gave Valt Tech their most promising specimen to protect and continue research on as the WesTek lab was a major target and the Mariposa Base was also at risk (though ultimately unharmed) so as to ensure at least some of their research survived.

    Enclaves formulas for mutations are likely a direct result of this vault and further searching the Enclave white springs bunker and the missions you are sent on allows you to discover some hunter/researcher's notes on the strange creatures known before the nukes and aside from super mutants and other fev creatures there are a few creatures that make a appearance: the mothman, zetans, the old gods(the sculptor in fo3, the monster at the bottom of lucky hole mine, Cold in the new update of 76, and the other interference from the paranormal in the games), the other genetic anomalies like the tunnelers and wanamingos, then there are the floaters and pits creatures.

    Just a theory about the Flatwoods Monster.
    I think it's a normal Zetan alien but they require certain specific nutrients that aren't found in a large enough quantity so it's body is more or less shriveling up to conserve itself while it adapts to the nutrients around it. I don't think it's going to continue to devolve, but unless it gets on a regular diet of its alien nutrients, I think it's just going to stay the same.
    As for it's teleportation? I think it's just a specialized recon unit. That's just my take on it.

      the robots would only need to kill one or two people before everyone just did what they were told.
      also remember that this in itself is an experiment. like, yes they are there to run experiments on some unknown stuff while in the vault, but them being there and seeing if they can be forced to work on it; without the robots killing everyone, is also an experiment in itself.

    And the Enclave keeps doing all of this for another 200 years after Fo76, it’s what I hate and love about playing that game. Single player you are essentially a scout, multiplayer a squad, but all of it is still at the behest of an East Coast “all knowing” mainframe and you know less than real soldiers would in a war. But you do know that before your character’s end you will inevitably shut down everything on all factions in favor of John Henry Eden! Or yah know, the creatures win. Either way no actual rebuilding of anything happens for the East Coast anything until 2277.
    Edit: I just hope the eventual final season is called something like “Overrun” or “Downfall”, I mean we already know which direction the Pitt will be heading no matter what we do thanks to the West Coast BoS.

  • @johnnatandc

    Maybe it is related to the interloper... i dont think that it is related to zetans at all... basically because I think that Vault-tec and the zetans were either working together or part of each other. I always have had the suspition that all these experiements are linked to an external being experimenting on an allien planet... meaning that the zetans either inflitrated Vault-tec or created vault-tec through human proxies in order to analyze humans and the earth fauna and flora, as it seems humans were one of the few races to actually repel their invasion... humans took their mothership later on and destroy a second incoming mothership. That DLC gave some light to some of those suspitions back then. I dont see how mutating people and understanding human phisiology could be more interesting for humans surviving the apocalypse than for aliens... I also dont think that Vault tec and the enclave were working together but more likely like a government shadow organization they found out this work and piggyback them and stole all the data for their own research and experimentation. Regarding the escape of mutated specimens... as far as I know that was done by the "president" at the time wanting to take control remotely of the silos by creating a level 1 emergency situation... but failed internally and even MODUS decided to exterminate them all, as they not only comprimised the enclave, but also everyone else including the "country"... hence it was defined as inherently evil and destroyed ... you can see also from the enclave members (at least the ones that we got holotapes from) that they were not expecting anything of this to happen, but only the madmen at the top did it... therefore I dont think that the enclave at the end is the ultimate bad buy ... they are twisted... but I would say that they are neutral evil more than 100% evil. I think that there has to be something else than meets the eye... I even think that the Interloper is tied to all of this... maybe the Interloper is the reason why the zetans are so keen to invade Earth?? Who knows.. But nonetheless... I think that your video was awesome

    Something about all of the vaults just doesn't make sense.
    The vast majority of them we're basically designed to fail but the experiments they had going on a lot of them there was no way that they could successfully survive.
    The only successful vault we know of are ones that either abandon their mission or didn't have an experiment to begin with.
    Some of these experiments could have been failed days into starting why invest billions of dollars putting together a whole vault for an experiment that could possibly fail almost immediately.
    Now assuming there is some main vault tec vault somewhere that actually received all of the information from all of these vaults.
    What could they possibly use some of these results for.
    What could having put one man and ninety-nine women in one vault and the opposite in the other vault possibly tell you about anyting.
    I'd say maybe ten of all the vaults I had any kind of an experiment that could possibly impact the future of humanity.
    And the rest of them were just cruel manipulative ways people thought up to kill people that they should have been saving

    Technically if you break down the mutations then the most likely answer is, its whatever the player character is in the Fallout franchise. Its never really explained what we are and why we can do what no one else in storyline can. Cause we do everything that is listed. We easily teleport, can deal with fire, cold, and electrc damage better than any NPC or creature. We have a bit of psy powers in that we are so easily able to manipulate NPCs through voice chat options. We can phase materials into built objects really easily. We have knowledge of other player characters and events even though their is no direct way we should know about things, which ties into the jumping or spreading of mutations between subjects even though they are sealed. Much like every time we are sealed in a vault.

    That's a substantial amount of data and thought you put into this. Thanks. I really wish the Enclave were better represented in game, and I still don't see how the Responders are sitting right on top of them... Unless it's a "front" or "cover". It would be nice if they at some point ousted the Responders, cleansed them with robots and assaultrons... Showing that the Enclave is the most dangerous group, providing the PC with an opportunity to do "more evil" or less than noble things to promote their own agenda (betraying the responders and gaining access to additional tech). As it is, the "good guys" ALWAYS winning is less than realistic. 76 is so watered down from all the Fallout games that I find it almost inconceivable how some people profess it is so great. As a multiplayer game, combat wise, and overall beauty... I love 76, but as far as a Fallout game - I hate it. Even the BOS is so ridiculously incompetent... How? They come up with Ultracite weapons, which in my mind should be below Enclave tech, and are ousted/defeated so easily.. The responders, pretending that the world will be what it was, is laughable. How can they compete against the tech? Unless they have overpowering numbers. Raiders, Settlers... Started, and incomplete. Secret Service - One agent makes a reference to additional missions - again incomplete. I really think they could have made "segments" of the map with higher influence by the raiders or settlers as your rep grew and different servers based on who you supported with gold, so at least it makes SOME IMPACT. Wow... I am so opinionated. I'll tie this up by saying this: Vault 88 was by far the ABSOLUTE PINNACLE of Fallout writing. I also wished that Super Mutants, Synths, Ghouls and perhaps one more mutation race were Player Characters... I think that it could have been done well, especially if you have played RPGs and have learnt how to balance benefits with drawbacks to make them appealing. What do I know though? I'm just a highly imaginative, creative person who accepts that some people are good and some are bad, but power corrupts almost without exception, and this should be part of the reality. This should not be a "kid's game". Thanks again for the post. I agree with you, and I hope that eventually, Bethesda will actually add some "meaningful" content that puts Fallout 76 back in the league of a FALLOUT GAME...

    • @UraniumFever76

      Really interesting thoughts mate enjoyed reading it. I think my hope regarding the Enclave and the Responders is they just want others to do the work for them. Like they are playing a longer game and can achieve their goals by pulling others strings behind the scene. I would love to see some long lasting effects in 76 like you mentioned - Foundation Destroyed or the Responders wiped out etc. it becomes repetitive with no ramifications of anything.
