Fallout 4: Kill Everything would be a relaxing way to recover from the stress of YOLO. People said that it was impossible with Fallout 3, but you made it work. Kill, Enslave, and Ruin the Wasteland!
@@ENCHANTMEN_ still there are about 40 essential NPC’s across the game, and the spirit of kill everything was to kill everything. Nothing leaves your sight. Settlements need to be burnt to the ground, escaped slaves and slaves shot in the leg and decapitated, all factions wiped clean. This means most settlements end up alive, and, your stuck siding with the minutemen.
@@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken Blake Abernathy remains essential no matter what happens. Same with Sturges, Preston Garvey, and I think Mama Murphy. It’s weird how the essential tag works. Not to mention Ham outside the third rail in goodneighbor. Fricking butthead that guy is.
I’m not ever when it’s a jump scare. The last F bomb was either the first FO4 play through or the survival mode run... he kept out of his chair due to a rad stag creeping up on him... one of the best channel moments ever. He apologised for swearing in that one too.
John, you should be picking up .38 ammo. At a weight of 0.014 and a value of 1 when sold to vendors, the weight to value ratio is insane compared to pretty much anything else you can carry. You're leaving behind a *lot* of money in chests.
Considering he can't buy the legendaries from vendors, he's probably good on money for a while. The only other big ticket items are the bulk junk tickets
I love how super mutants, deathclaws, and raiders are treated like pansies, but cars, skeletons, roaches, and mole rats are the worst thing to happen in the run
I feel like there's some fantastic symmetry in watching Jon's character get more and more tired as I get more and more tired, and going to sleep just a bit after the character does
I was doing a play-along, but died to a laser-headshot from a stray super mutant last part. Update: Lost my second character to a legendary festering bloatfly.
@@ManyATrueNerd Stealth is always the best option in Fallout in my experience, and that includes 1 and 2. Same with Skyrim. Stealth Archer is literally the best thing ever in that game.
The first time I found the graveyard (the same one Jon went to in this video), I started merrily traipsing through it...and ran straight into a super mutant patrol. Between that and the trollish raider spawn when you go into the mausoleum, it took several playthroughs until I set foot in that cemetery again.
These are amazing. Covenant is (probably) descendants from Vault 101. Just little details like posters that are marked Vault 101, the guards in the bunker armor has a very faded Vault logo on them.

Jon, you can sneak into the mayor's office in the middle of the night and get the key to Kellogg's home and make it your own for FREE. It gives you a base of operations in Diamond City with a proper bed without spending a cap.
There's one in particular I've had my eye on for quite some time: Excel. It even has spreadsheets! Simple enough for children at first blush, but surprisingly deep for those who want to develop skill in it. That's the best kind of game: low entry difficulty for casuals and noobs but an insanely high skill ceiling for the hardcore players. I wouldn't say no to watching a run or two through it.
@@mailleweaver Governments like using it too, to run their critical processes, but prefer to play on the 16-bit version and rarely turn the difficulty up to Survival , which can lead to glitches
If you go up onto the roof of the of the building the mutants are fighting diamond city security from, you can walk over to the roof overlooking hangman's alley without jumping or anything. Nice sniping position, I find.
My favorite way to clear Hangman's Alley is to wait until Super Mutants spawn in the nearby neighborhood. Then I lure them after me with a few shots. With the tick-tick-tick of a Suicider chasing me, I unlock the Novice gate, and run through to unlock the back gate as Raiders shoot at me. Behind, you hear an Earth-shattering Kaboom. Hilarious!
Hey Jon (and Claire). I'm noticing a lot of bad video quality/compression issues. Though this might be RUclips's fault (and Fallout's), I suspect that you could counteract this by upping your rendering (and/or recording) bitrate or doing multiple render passes. I am quite aware that you are working really hard making the best videos possible and time is scarce. But that's exactly why I think the technical quality is very important: As to not distract from the amazing content :) I hope you don't see this as an unreasonable critique. Take a look at 8:55 and a good 10-15 seconds after for an example. Love the content, love you both to bits. See you on the livestream :D
He mentioned he was having problems with RUclips earlier today on twitter. This was being rendered and uploaded as 1440p but youtube never processed past 1080
@@LazyData Thanks for the info! That makes a lot of sense. I've just watched a video from another YT'er that had "4k" in the title but only went up to 1080p. Though I don't know enough about the technicalities to be sure that's the issue here :)
I do not know if you will see this Jon, I hope so. From the house the supermutants were in, you can get to the roofs over Hangman's Alley, which is the best place to take the Raiders out from with a sniper rifle and grenades/Molotovs.
I just want to say how much I enjoy your content. This is by far my favorite channel to watch, not just on YT, but on any platform. I watch something here everyday, this YOLO is great since I have literally watched all other FO4 content you've made lol. Keep up the good work!
I'm pretty sure mattresses and sleeping bags are both 3 hours only, so they're not useful for a last minute sleep before the Sea - I'll probably be resting at the Marina ahead of that trip.
@@ManyATrueNerd sleeping bag 3 hours, matress 5 hours :) EDIT: Also I think the best bed before the glowing sea is the house of the chinese family in Natick :|
@@ManyATrueNerd There's also a non-irradiated sleeping bag in the Glowing Sea, in the sunken Super Duper Mart parking garage, though I suppose that isn't terribly useful for the purpose of this run. I typically use the Marina as my last stopping-off point for Survival Mode, but Somerville Place might be a bit closer now that I think about it.
When I did my YOLO run for F4 a few years ago. I used that mattress at the overpass on the edge of the glowing sea. Radiation would stop you from using it but their is a little space that the radiation isnt present and allows you to sleep. The glowing sea isnt as bad as people might think but my random events might have been lucky and I knew it well from doing no fast travel runs before hand, also had Railroad stealth boys and a rad suit. I didnt finish the YOLO run because it became way to repetitive and boring compared to F1,F2,F3 and NV YOLO runs. Maybe one day I'll continue or start new. I stopped at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
I enjoy checking the view counts of each episode and I'm really glad the series is doing so well. After all the planning Jon has put into this he deserves it!
@@adanufgail Possibly, but he shouldn't have left it in the first place at that value. I think he might have had radstag too, maybe could have carried both.
Hey, just a reminder: there's still the bug in survival when you're working on your power armor, game applies the weight of all the power armor pieces to your inventory, making you easily over encumbered, and then inflicting damage. Writing this at the start of the video, feel free to scream at me if this comes up during.
"Let the modders fix it" seems like their motto. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure they never fixed the nightingale bug from skyrim. Only the unofficial patch fixes it.
31:00 Ngl, might not be a bad idea for Jon to have a “self-indulgence series” of some relatively relaxing games he really loves, running alongside this. Might help him de-stress from all of the near heart attacks
The amount of times Jon plays as a woman who seduces people is starting to convince me that this whole Claire thing is just a front to hide his identity as a glorious Drag Queen that seduces all the hunky boys.
I've always heard it explained that having the "Black Widow" perk is more useful since there are more human male enemies than human female enemies, so you are multiplying the effectiveness of the perk over taking the "Lady Killer" version.
finally, he picked up a mine. i feel better now. edit: also, john, using the building the mutants were in, you can go accross the roof and drop grenades, molotovs, etc into hangmans ally. way easier than either normal entrance.
My favorite way to play Fallout 4 Permadeath runs is as a Sniper who specializes in Explosives and leaves Mines scattered around to discourage attacks on my position. Just have to collect them afterward.
Jon, when you were in Bunker Hill looking for a bed, easiest way is to head south over the bridge, hit up Cabot House while you're there, then a little further south takes you to Goodneighbor. There's a free bed in the Memory Den (where the Silver Shroud guy hangs out), can sleep there as long as you please. Also, as you enter Goodneighbor, there's a workbench near CLEO where you can store all your junk. Goodneighbor makes a east/downtown base IMO.
In case anyone was wondering the dream it started off in a street area surrounded by cars and enemies. The dream had different "zones" it wasn't completely open world. He completed that no problem with no hits got to the suburban area and had to take on a boss. Got through that without a hit but got turned around and didn't realize there was one enemy alive and got a minor hit with a bullet as the enemy came around the corner of a house. The dream ended when he got to the forest and there was a dog lunging at him so i never got to finish the dream.
@@PandaDemic2012 I've not experienced dreaming about another's playthrough, but I've dreamt of my own going back to FO3. I played it so much, my subconscious was trying to help me master this new skill I was applying so much of my waking hours to. For a while, I didn't know the false experiences of places I couldn't find were just from dreams I was having. There were Darth Vader Enclave troops in villages that didn't exist; but I searched for months trying to figure out where I had seen it.
Hey Jon, just wondering if you considered investing in lead belly 3 once you get to level 17. It would allow you to drink nuka cola for the caffeine with no rad damage. I know it's a huge perk investment though, so it might not be worth it.
the pipe bolt-action is an underrated weapon, it may not hit as hard in the later game, but earlier it is far lighter which leaves more weight space for loot or ammo, and also make it more vats-friendly
Also, it is easier to upgrade early in the game. Only the pipe guns have silencers carried by vendors, so there is no level requirement for a silenced weapon.
An interesting thing about combat making you tired is that in real life an adrenaline rush is almost always followed by an adrenaline crash, just like caffeine. So although in the heat of the moment an adrenaline rush will give you a new well of energy and strength, once that runs out you'll usually feel quite exhausted because your body pushed itself much harder than it would in a less stressful situation.
The question for next time. We he (being rifle/sniper oriented) take Hangman's Alley from the nice, safe rooftop? Or bumrush the front gate, giving the raiders nice cover while they bombard him with molotovs and grenades?
This series has made me replay the game for the first time in years with a similar build. I'm not doing YOLO but I've found Ghouls, at close ish range can detect you even with good sneak and gear and can overwhelm you. I took a wrong turn in Lexington and also at Bedford station and got swamped. I was worried when he went to the north church. Fortunately Jon is much more patient. By the way, you confused the Brahmin and Radstag meat. You indicate the Brahmin meat gives you added carry capacity but that is the Radstag. And then you wasted a Radstag benefit by eating it when you were hungry. You don't get HP or any benefit from food if you're hungry.
Loving this playthrough. Ms. Finalley swimming through miles of ocean in the dark was certainly spooky, even though there aren't any rad dolphins actually about
(Un)official MATN Fallout 4 YOLO Damage Counter: To accurately represent the current state of Ms. Finalley, this will include any damage from this episode, so click at your own risk. 1st hit - *10.86* damage - Part 3: 57:36 // Highway above Corvega Assembly Plant - Raider shoots Ms. Finalley while she is sniping off defenses around the plant. HP Percentage Total damage taken: *10.86 6.8%* Total rads taken: *1.44 0.9%* Current health lost: *12.30 7.7%* Current health total: *147.70/160.0 92.3%* Notes: Strictly speaking, current HP percentage actually went up compared to last episode. Each level-up gives 5 max HP (or more, if Jon decides to level Endurance) and those points go straight to your current HP, mostly. The percent of the HP bonus that goes to your current HP is proportional to your rads. With 1% rads, technically only 4.95 HP is going to Ms. Finalley's health bar each level. That's fine for now, but as the run goes on, rads will weaken the only source of "healing" in this run. (60% rads would mean 2 HP per level.) If I understand it correctly, then leveling endurance will be more effective you sooner you do it. In particular, it would be more effective if done before any big rad dumps like the Glowing Sea.

Not often we get a Jon F bomb but it's always a treat when it happens 😄
I’m not ever when it’s a jump scare. The last F bomb was either the first FO4 play through or the survival mode run... he kept out of his chair due to a rad stag creeping up on him... one of the best channel moments ever. He apologised for swearing in that one too.
@@kingoftherodeo87 I like how he apologizes and feels bad about it, yet doesn't do anything to censor or edit the swearing it out
lol, he doesn't swear often on this channel. But go watch him on Nerdcubed's channel and he swears like a drunken sailor!
Yeah, Jon’s livestreams are no stranger to the F-bomb 🤬😁
He drops the F bomb like 20 times in the finale of one of his kill everything runs
He gets so excited about his junk shop vendor deals, like going grocery shopping with your mother.
"Cooking oil for 9!"
John, you should be picking up .38 ammo. At a weight of 0.014 and a value of 1 when sold to vendors, the weight to value ratio is insane compared to pretty much anything else you can carry.
You're leaving behind a *lot* of money in chests.
Considering he can't buy the legendaries from vendors, he's probably good on money for a while. The only other big ticket items are the bulk junk tickets
30:30 for the YOLO equivalent radstag jumpscare
But also language warning. :D
I love how super mutants, deathclaws, and raiders are treated like pansies, but cars, skeletons, roaches, and mole rats are the worst thing to happen in the run
@@LucyWest370 Deathclaws and humanoids are predictable... the it’s the rng that gets ya
It's actually refreshing to hear Jon swear properly. All the flips and blimey can feel less genuine than a good f-bomb

Ah, same plan here :)
After that radroach, Jon probably had maxed out adrenaline just like his character!

Nice throwback to the Slightly Excited whatever. I laughed even harder than I did the first time.
Slightly Excited Something Something Something...
I was doing a play-along, but died to a laser-headshot from a stray super mutant last part.
Update: Lost my second character to a legendary festering bloatfly.
Oof mate what level were you? John specifically said not to mess with supermutants
Bad luck - mutant patrols can be REALLY nasty. Trying to ensure I see them before they see me is part of the reason I'm going so heavily into stealth.
@@ManyATrueNerd Stealth is always the best option in Fallout in my experience, and that includes 1 and 2. Same with Skyrim. Stealth Archer is literally the best thing ever in that game.
@@Krishnath.Dragon not if a dragon gets the jump on you
The first time I found the graveyard (the same one Jon went to in this video), I started merrily traipsing through it...and ran straight into a super mutant patrol. Between that and the trollish raider spawn when you go into the mausoleum, it took several playthroughs until I set foot in that cemetery again.
i like to imagine every cut jon makes is him going off and checking his blood pressure so he doesnt pass out
These are amazing.
Covenant is (probably) descendants from Vault 101. Just little details like posters that are marked Vault 101, the guards in the bunker armor has a very faded Vault logo on them.
Biggest is the quiz being a "call back" to the G.O.A.T. exam. They had to have come from a Vault, probably 101.
"It can't possibly be worse."
2020 has taught me that this statement is false, it can always be worse. Although this time, it was not worse.

Jon, you can sneak into the mayor's office in the middle of the night and get the key to Kellogg's home and make it your own for FREE. It gives you a base of operations in Diamond City with a proper bed without spending a cap.
Or you can give Geneva a sob story to get the key. Or you can sleep in the little raider home that's across the junkyard from the main gate.
He ate a grilled radstag to get rid of his hunger. As a low strength, high int character, that hurt me

'Starting next week, a nice game made for children.'
GIVE US THE COOL MATH GAMES, JON.
GIVE US WHAT WE WANT.
There's one in particular I've had my eye on for quite some time: Excel. It even has spreadsheets! Simple enough for children at first blush, but surprisingly deep for those who want to develop skill in it. That's the best kind of game: low entry difficulty for casuals and noobs but an insanely high skill ceiling for the hardcore players. I wouldn't say no to watching a run or two through it.
@@mailleweaver Governments like using it too, to run their critical processes, but prefer to play on the 16-bit version and rarely turn the difficulty up to Survival , which can lead to glitches
@@mailleweaver I would love it if Jon played Excel.
30:30 Jon said the f word this can't be happening oh my god I'm literally shaking and crying
If you go up onto the roof of the of the building the mutants are fighting diamond city security from, you can walk over to the roof overlooking hangman's alley without jumping or anything. Nice sniping position, I find.
Cool wish i knew that I just cleared it on my lastead survival run.
But they can throw molotovs at you and with surpisingly good accuracy
I literally just posted this without reading your post. Good call.
its a great spot to lob 3 or 4 grenades and then get away from the edge. That usually gets most of them.
My favorite way to clear Hangman's Alley is to wait until Super Mutants spawn in the nearby neighborhood. Then I lure them after me with a few shots.
With the tick-tick-tick of a Suicider chasing me, I unlock the Novice gate, and run through to unlock the back gate as Raiders shoot at me. Behind, you hear an Earth-shattering Kaboom.
Hilarious!
30:35 you could just hear the fear in Jon’s voice. I love this play through so much ❤️
Hey Jon (and Claire). I'm noticing a lot of bad video quality/compression issues. Though this might be RUclips's fault (and Fallout's), I suspect that you could counteract this by upping your rendering (and/or recording) bitrate or doing multiple render passes. I am quite aware that you are working really hard making the best videos possible and time is scarce. But that's exactly why I think the technical quality is very important: As to not distract from the amazing content :) I hope you don't see this as an unreasonable critique. Take a look at 8:55 and a good 10-15 seconds after for an example. Love the content, love you both to bits. See you on the livestream :D
He mentioned he was having problems with RUclips earlier today on twitter. This was being rendered and uploaded as 1440p but youtube never processed past 1080
@@LazyData Thanks for the info! That makes a lot of sense. I've just watched a video from another YT'er that had "4k" in the title but only went up to 1080p. Though I don't know enough about the technicalities to be sure that's the issue here :)
Just can’t get enough, keeping me sane in lockdown matey
I’m just hoping he has good luck with vertibirds. They are seem to crash on me.
I do not know if you will see this Jon, I hope so. From the house the supermutants were in, you can get to the roofs over Hangman's Alley, which is the best place to take the Raiders out from with a sniper rifle and grenades/Molotovs.
I just want to say how much I enjoy your content. This is by far my favorite channel to watch, not just on YT, but on any platform. I watch something here everyday, this YOLO is great since I have literally watched all other FO4 content you've made lol. Keep up the good work!
"We're at maxed out adrenaline right now" Yeah, we all noticed on that glowing roach xD Sounded like you got a mild heart attack.
John, there is a mattress, on the overpass near the "edge of the glowing sea"
I'm pretty sure mattresses and sleeping bags are both 3 hours only, so they're not useful for a last minute sleep before the Sea - I'll probably be resting at the Marina ahead of that trip.
@@ManyATrueNerd sleeping bag 3 hours, matress 5 hours :)
EDIT: Also I think the best bed before the glowing sea is the house of the chinese family in Natick :|
@@ManyATrueNerd There's also a non-irradiated sleeping bag in the Glowing Sea, in the sunken Super Duper Mart parking garage, though I suppose that isn't terribly useful for the purpose of this run.
I typically use the Marina as my last stopping-off point for Survival Mode, but Somerville Place might be a bit closer now that I think about it.
@@ManyATrueNerd i pointed it out to use as a safety save in case of physics death.
When I did my YOLO run for F4 a few years ago. I used that mattress at the overpass on the edge of the glowing sea. Radiation would stop you from using it but their is a little space that the radiation isnt present and allows you to sleep. The glowing sea isnt as bad as people might think but my random events might have been lucky and I knew it well from doing no fast travel runs before hand, also had Railroad stealth boys and a rad suit. I didnt finish the YOLO run because it became way to repetitive and boring compared to F1,F2,F3 and NV YOLO runs. Maybe one day I'll continue or start new. I stopped at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
Jon is always full of Panic Calm Panic meme energy. And we love to see it.
What is the one thing a survivor like Jon won't eat??
A Ghoulash... :D
I wish I could up and also downvote you. :P
I enjoy checking the view counts of each episode and I'm really glad the series is doing so well. After all the planning Jon has put into this he deserves it!
There is something cool about mysterious sniper helping from far away against overwhelming odds.
Yes, there really should be a perk that did that...
I love "Rad Stag moment" is a thing now.
At 3 weight for 75 caps you should have taken that Legendary Exterminators Lead Pipe and sold it.
He would have dropped it to get the sniper
@@adanufgail Possibly, but he shouldn't have left it in the first place at that value. I think he might have had radstag too, maybe could have carried both.

Yay im genuinely just as excited for each episode of this as i am the mandalorian 🤣👍👍
The withered feral is always in Old North Church btw, regardless of level. Its just a bit of set dressing.
Hey, just a reminder: there's still the bug in survival when you're working on your power armor, game applies the weight of all the power armor pieces to your inventory, making you easily over encumbered, and then inflicting damage.
Writing this at the start of the video, feel free to scream at me if this comes up during.
I flinched watching this happen during his survival run 4 years ago, they still haven't fixed it?
"Let the modders fix it" seems like their motto.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure they never fixed the nightingale bug from skyrim. Only the unofficial patch fixes it.
@@deckard3755 yikes, maybe there's a mod specifically to fix this Jon should be allowed to use.

31:00 Ngl, might not be a bad idea for Jon to have a “self-indulgence series” of some relatively relaxing games he really loves, running alongside this. Might help him de-stress from all of the near heart attacks

@@JoshuaKevinPerry Jon does have a fondness for lesbians. (Pot calling the kettle black, but I'm not wrong.)
@@nessesaryschoolthing As a lesbian, I'm not complaining.
I've always heard it explained that having the "Black Widow" perk is more useful since there are more human male enemies than human female enemies, so you are multiplying the effectiveness of the perk over taking the "Lady Killer" version.
This has become my favorite Fallout 4 playthrough you've done so far Jon.
finally, he picked up a mine. i feel better now.
edit: also, john, using the building the mutants were in, you can go accross the roof and drop grenades, molotovs, etc into hangmans ally. way easier than either normal entrance.
My favorite way to play Fallout 4 Permadeath runs is as a Sniper who specializes in Explosives and leaves Mines scattered around to discourage attacks on my position. Just have to collect them afterward.
Jon, when you were in Bunker Hill looking for a bed, easiest way is to head south over the bridge, hit up Cabot House while you're there, then a little further south takes you to Goodneighbor. There's a free bed in the Memory Den (where the Silver Shroud guy hangs out), can sleep there as long as you please. Also, as you enter Goodneighbor, there's a workbench near CLEO where you can store all your junk. Goodneighbor makes a east/downtown base IMO.
Jon, the agility bobblehead can be collected from the outside of the ship. You just need to parkour a bit and the raiders won't even notice you!
I don't think he would take the chance of taking fall damage
@@andywoods941 yeah, maybe not
Congratulations. I've tried but never managed to pull that off.
If a car does fall on you from a bridge, does that trigger the reload exception of car related glitchy chicanery?
I hate that random wild mutfruit that counts as stealing in the middle of their crops that you can just take.
I agroed all of Bunker Hill my first time because I took the Magazine at the top. Is that not steal trap too?
I woke up from a dream where Jon was playing a YOLO run. He has me hooked in the dream and the waking world.
In case anyone was wondering the dream it started off in a street area surrounded by cars and enemies. The dream had different "zones" it wasn't completely open world. He completed that no problem with no hits got to the suburban area and had to take on a boss. Got through that without a hit but got turned around and didn't realize there was one enemy alive and got a minor hit with a bullet as the enemy came around the corner of a house. The dream ended when he got to the forest and there was a dog lunging at him so i never got to finish the dream.
@@PandaDemic2012 I've not experienced dreaming about another's playthrough, but I've dreamt of my own going back to FO3.
I played it so much, my subconscious was trying to help me master this new skill I was applying so much of my waking hours to.
For a while, I didn't know the false experiences of places I couldn't find were just from dreams I was having. There were Darth Vader Enclave troops in villages that didn't exist; but I searched for months trying to figure out where I had seen it.
You know Jon's really caught by surprise when he actually swears.
To be fair, so did I and I'm not even playing.
Lol you don't watch his live streams or when he's on someone else's channel. He morphs into a swearing hooligan hah.
@@devontufts1291 Oh I know. I mean on a channel video.
Am actually learning a lot of the intricacies of this game by watching these, thanks. Good, good, good, good, good.
Please do this twice a week Jon!!! Just Sunday is not enough!! Thanks for the awesome content 👍
You got no chance. Fallout is a once a week deal absolute max. Always has been, always will be.
It might kill him otherwise xD
I recently started watching these series and as someone who loves detailed walkthoughs this is AWESOME
Hey Jon, just wondering if you considered investing in lead belly 3 once you get to level 17. It would allow you to drink nuka cola for the caffeine with no rad damage. I know it's a huge perk investment though, so it might not be worth it.
I was waiting for it! I'm loving this series. Thank you!
the pipe bolt-action is an underrated weapon, it may not hit as hard in the later game, but earlier it is far lighter which leaves more weight space for loot or ammo, and also make it more vats-friendly
Also, it is easier to upgrade early in the game. Only the pipe guns have silencers carried by vendors, so there is no level requirement for a silenced weapon.
An interesting thing about combat making you tired is that in real life an adrenaline rush is almost always followed by an adrenaline crash, just like caffeine. So although in the heat of the moment an adrenaline rush will give you a new well of energy and strength, once that runs out you'll usually feel quite exhausted because your body pushed itself much harder than it would in a less stressful situation.
The question for next time. We he (being rifle/sniper oriented) take Hangman's Alley from the nice, safe rooftop? Or bumrush the front gate, giving the raiders nice cover while they bombard him with molotovs and grenades?
I love the ASCII art on the magazines. It's really good!
This has become my highlight for the week.
Thank you for continuing to do this series. With Unus Annus being gone forever I really needed something to lift my spirits, so thank you.
From crusader kings 3 to fallout 4 Sundays rock.
Something hilarious about Jon gushing over “great deals” with merchants junk 😂
It’s like he’s going around an antique store getting cheap stuff for his house lol
Lmao, one of the people inside covenant spawned in on the roof right at 16:32, playback at its slowest and you'll see it.
Wow... I never have seen those total Hack magazines in all my time playing Fallout 4. Thank you Jon! Love this part and cannot wait until next weeks!
So early nobody has even finished watching yet. Lovin the series John keep it up and try not to die 4 episodes in :)
"Everything's fine. Aside from the fact it's probably not." feels like a good description of any YOLO series with Jon.
Yaaay! Another episode! Thank you Jon! I'm going to be sad when this episode finishes and I have to wait for another though. XD
The heart attack over the glowing radroach was worth the price of admission :). Loved it.
00:10:24 --In which the Fallout 4 molerats do their best Looney Tunes' Wiley E. Coyote impersonation.
This series has made me replay the game for the first time in years with a similar build. I'm not doing YOLO but I've found Ghouls, at close ish range can detect you even with good sneak and gear and can overwhelm you. I took a wrong turn in Lexington and also at Bedford station and got swamped. I was worried when he went to the north church. Fortunately Jon is much more patient. By the way, you confused the Brahmin and Radstag meat. You indicate the Brahmin meat gives you added carry capacity but that is the Radstag. And then you wasted a Radstag benefit by eating it when you were hungry. You don't get HP or any benefit from food if you're hungry.
"Exterminator's Lead Pipe" on a Radroach... Not a very Exterminator if they lost to a Radroach.
Still makes more sense than finding ghouls with radaway
Maybe it jumpscared them to death. ;)
@The nova renaissance One must be lead to believe that most ferals are from the time of the war, given where they're found
Loving this playthrough. Ms. Finalley swimming through miles of ocean in the dark was certainly spooky, even though there aren't any rad dolphins actually about
"Boston City Ghouls" sounds like a great name for a post-apocalyptic football team.
(Un)official MATN Fallout 4 YOLO Damage Counter:
To accurately represent the current state of Ms. Finalley, this will include any damage from this episode, so click at your own risk.
1st hit - *10.86* damage
- Part 3: 57:36 // Highway above Corvega Assembly Plant
- Raider shoots Ms. Finalley while she is sniping off defenses around the plant.
HP Percentage
Total damage taken: *10.86 6.8%*
Total rads taken: *1.44 0.9%*
Current health lost: *12.30 7.7%*
Current health total: *147.70/160.0 92.3%*
Notes: Strictly speaking, current HP percentage actually went up compared to last episode. Each level-up gives 5 max HP (or more, if Jon decides to level Endurance) and those points go straight to your current HP, mostly. The percent of the HP bonus that goes to your current HP is proportional to your rads. With 1% rads, technically only 4.95 HP is going to Ms. Finalley's health bar each level. That's fine for now, but as the run goes on, rads will weaken the only source of "healing" in this run. (60% rads would mean 2 HP per level.)
If I understand it correctly, then leveling endurance will be more effective you sooner you do it. In particular, it would be more effective if done before any big rad dumps like the Glowing Sea.
