Even after Nuclear war... Reality Shows. Reality Shows never change.
The irony is that, since the FO universe is essentially stuck in the 50s, reality show wouldn't exist in that world.
If only Jeremiah........if only.
Did you visit Graygarden and talked to one of the Mr. Handys there? :p
Variousnumber
IT NEVER DIES!!!!!
Krzysztof - Why? Are you ready to...Bargain in the Garden? If yes you could win this fabulous car!
"... or the vault that you came from, which is clearly the best option"
literally what I was thinking my whole playthrough
GoombaGenocide logically, it would be the best place to live, but my wife, everyone I went in there with, and my neighbors, are dead in there and I was held against my will for 200+ years in it. If that actually happened to me I would stay way the fuck away from that vault and never go back
Yep there would be trauma methinks
Radiation from nuclear war is also tramatizing
Kameron Jones Don't forget access to a 3 foot thick steel door at a bottom of a 100+ foot shaft covered with a one foot thick Missile Silo steel hatch that only people with a 200 year old wrist computer can open and close! And, if all that fails, just place turrets and a couple of guards on the other side of the door.
what does this settlement have... : broken fridge with dead neighbor, broiken fridge with dead neighbor, broken fridge with dead neighbor, broken fridge with my dead spouse, skeletons, malfunctioning reactor..... I take my chances with Spectacle Island. *runs away*
"Home feels like not getting murdered." Sounds about right
Innocent Browncoat I would totally get some merch with that line on it. Hint hint, wink wink.
Sounds like sweden in five years.
Home is where the boobytraps are.
Home , home never changes
Mine doesn't
Fallout 4 gives you the option to build your own town with its own personality, but let's face it, every one of us crammed all of the settlers into 1 bunkhouse like we were making some kind of Stalinist work commune.
That is assuming you even built a house. My first play through I just put a ton of beds on the foundation of an old house and then let everyone sleep outside. Though on a second play I did actually give them a roof hehe.
Yeah... I noticed how my original settlements are slave camps with 4-6 beds for each stuffy room and no doors or windows. Compare mid-late game where the newer settlements have full on lighting,fancy beds, terminals/radios, paintings, and each home has 2-3 turrets for their protection.
More like Fallout 4 gives you the option to build your own SHANTYtown. Gosh, the furniture I build from the scratch come with broken drawers, already? That's some lazy woodworking, mr. Nate. :-D
You gave them beds? Well, la-de-da Mr. Fancypants.
(I just threw down a bunch of sleeping bags made of prewar money lol)
angbandsbane that actually sounds fancier than a regular bed.
"We need a place that looks like a post-apocalyptic hellscape"
"We live in Texas."
"Ok, now that that's taken care of..."
Your confusing it with Arizona.
You're both confusing it with Seattle

Well I’m sorry but garrote wire is expensive okay
Chaotic evil for the win lol
Settlements: a place to put all of the things you've looted off the corpses of your victi- I mean enemies.
Don't forget, those corpses also can make attractive hanging garden ornaments. Waste not want not eh?
A place to store all your loot, so that you can forget about it and never use it.
HA! As if your enemies had a damn thing worth looting. Your potential allies, on the other hand...
Just say it Jones..........an easy way to get into Preston's pants eh? :P Hey we wont judge!
Aye, kill him and take the pants!
Ha ha haa
*Ah hahahaa*
*HAAAHAAAAA HAAA~!*
It's not that big of a deal if there are fewer walls than you'd like: A handful of pencils and a bowling pin or two should fix that right up.
Don't forget the battered clipboards and that crib from your former house. Remember any wood is good!
XD
I kept the crib.
Just the right size for Dogmeat Radicrash
Radicrash Same. And how did Shaun repay me?
haha "Theres one" *gangsta shooting*
I kinda wish 'random insane home improvement guy doing a tv show' was a mod.
That would have been a great tutorial.
Fallout: we’ll see you next time on White people renovating houses
It should be made a thing, with Ethan voicing the RIHIGDATVS (or random tv guy, for short)
@@georgebaynard4096 these reality shows like that have so many white people because they're the only people that can afford to have somebody do it. Everybody else does it themselves like my neighbor Juan who built a garage, remodeled his house, and added a huge patio with a hot tub for cheap because he's skilled not wealthy. I feel good just because i built a deck and rebuilt the bathroom in my old house, lol
Mic Krout ..I was referencing South Park...
Nate: "Why are you on the roof?"
More like, "How did you get on the roof? There is no physical way to get up there!"
The Mama Murphy in my game gets stuck on the roof most of the time, must be the jet.
You obviously didn't build her chair. Once she sits her old ass down she ain't never getting up again.
No for real it's like she becomes a talking item.
dude, there are five chairs in the house
No not a chair. HER chair m8. It's S.P.E.C.I.A.L
Lol !
I have random people on their roofs all the time. Pisses me off...
"Oh, that is... SPICY!" -Jeffery
* Deadpan * "Yeah, it's irradiated." -Ethan
That one got me *real* good.
A good quick joke in the middle of the video, really well done
Not getting this one. When they mention the pool, I was already thinking about radiation. "A guy died here two weeks ago, and still haven't despawned" will probably be funny for me, because in fallout 4 some corpses in settlements really don't despawn even after the player moved in.
It was the deadpan delivery that really made the joke for me. Door Monster has mastered the delivery of punchlines.
The Sightless Swordsman oh thats hot
You need mods, mate. Settlement building is impossible without mods and console commands. Especially modpos x y and z.
I'm so glad to find I'm not the only one who was introduced to the settlement building and thought "okay, but wouldn't it be safer to build a settlement out of Vault 111?".
B-b-but you see, then you'd have access to actual resources rather than having to rip the wasteland apart looking for food items; and you wouldn't have to deal with raiders constantly spawning inside your base for no reason!
yeah, just live in the vault that was built to fail, kept company by your dead spouse and neighbors.The site of the worst thing that's ever happened to you is a great place to live
@@meeperdudeify You're right. Better to set up a stones throw south of that, in the neighbourhood I once called home; now desolate and destroyed in a perpetual and solemn reminder of everything I lost in that tragic event. All while that aforementioned mass grave sits within eyeshot on the nearby hill, towering over me each and every day.
@@TheCrash480 yeah I never build sanctuary hills up much either. At the very least that neighborhood was once home. Even desolated, I'd imagine there's some comfort in that. The only memories the sole survivor would have of vault 111 are tragedy.
@@meeperdudeify The emotional comfort of your old home might outweigh the trauma of living there, but it might not. Just like the physical comfort and security of a vault might outweigh the trauma of living there, but it might not. There's no correct answer, because everyone experiences trauma differently.
I don't believe for a second character motivations were on Bethesda's mind when they omitted Vault 111; there's plenty of other viable interior locations, including other vaults, that would make more sense than the majority of settlements we can utilize. The reason we can't is almost certainly because Bethesda added settlement building so people might spend time in their game actually creating and building stuff.
A location with very little space to build, that's already decorated and has certain resources on offer, wouldn't incentivize us to build nearly as well as giving us a run down location with ample space and saying 'have at it'. We eventually got Vault 88 to build in, and naturally, it starts out as nothing more than a massive, empty area.
Murder hobo, every time...

Maybe he needs some garrote wire

The corpses around that house have some really good loot! Found a dead CIA agent there on my last play through, had a copy of the bill of the rights and some bottle caps in her wallet. Gave me the right to kill anyone I liked!
pretty sure the nuclear bombs gave you that right long, long before you found that CIA agent :P
Dennis Rivard license to maim
I want the Bill of Rights printed on a shield, so that I can hide behind the Bill of Rights.
@Dick Balls • 30 years ago How rude, sir! I have no "hands". As A Mr Handy, my limbs are equipped with a pincher, a flamethrower, and a buzzsaw.
I like the 'I already did all of that, quit the scripted sequence' bit, that is extremely accurate to what actually happens in the game.
I think you guys put more time into building your settlement than I ever did.
So..... you're yet another murder hobo. Got it.
I would have LOVED to get into building settlements, but the ability to build anything remotely cool was so hard because of the janky building mechanics in fallout 4. All I ended up doing was building a basic place for myself to use, and creating a water purifier farm for that easy cash, lol.
rageoftyrael - if you are on PC or even xbox (though pc easier) have a look at mods from channels like Oxhorn as he does loads on settlement building. When I first got FO4 pre mods I was meh not bothered about settlements I will just be a murder hobo like the others until I picked up some tips from the above mentioned Oxhorn and others.2000 game play hours later.....I have built lore friendly and even some really fun settlements and to be honest it is rather addicting, I even didn't feel the need to dig a plot for Marcy Long!
Dennis if you aren't keen on using mods there are actual in game ways to do some placement and building techniques using what they call the rug and pillar glitch.
Or console commands like modpos x y z.
Ya, that was a big problem with the settlement system. There was so many places to build but only Sanctuary and The Castle were really worth it, and even if you did build them up they didn't actually really DO anything useful. Hell, even the defense mechanic was not good as enemies could just spawn inside the settlement, past your defenses IF they ever even spawned at all (in my 200ish hours i only ever saw 1 raid)
Strider 332 to be honest that could be because you made your settlements actually fortified enough, if I recall correctly the chances of a place being raided went significantly down the more defences there were compared to resources. Though in all honesty, I modded my games to make settlement building more bearable (like unlimited resources) so it was just fun to create what ever I felt like and give it life, not to mention having mortars everywhere was pretty useful, if a little unexpected when they dropped out of nowhere when you were in combat.
Dante McMahon you are correct. There's a food/water/power to defense ratio that determines the likelihood of raids.
Problem is the whole appeal of raids as a mechanic IS the defense. Why make defenses if it actually decreases the likelihood of the mechanic working? The mechanic would probably be better if it also included the value of whatever was actually stored inside the settlement (powerarmor, weapons, chems, etc), rather than just the resources themselves, as the more heavily defended areas would be where you store your valuables which would ensure the cost/reward for raiding would be slightly higher for well defended areas which would make the mechanic actually interesting to play with
Strider 332 I don't know, personally I found being raided more annoying than beneficial since the gear or rewards for defending against them was pretty none existing what with the lack of value most items in Fallout 4 had. Though it was always amusing to watch the Brotherhood of Steel be ripped apart by settlers armed with fully upgraded weapons and heavy combat armour, not to mention the various turrets I had set up depending on where they attacked.
Honestly, the real purpose of settlements is to swarm the map with heavily geared provisioners as a indirect way to take over the commonwealth. It honestly makes the game more entertaining to walk around in while giving a feeling of something actually being done.
The editing on this video is beautiful
So is seeing the leader of the Armored Wolves having the same taste in videos. (Inside joke, Aquan by the way.)
Love how a regular house in Austin works as post-apocalyptia
You know I think the curly haired dude could be a real reality TV host he's got the charm and charisma
Inspector Javert, his name is Ethan 😉
His Patreon pitches are amazing, and he promised to eat a boot for 100k subs, though he hasn’t come through yet
*Charisma eleven*
And the endurance!
3:25 The comedic timing of the piece of cardboard falling on the guy's head was just *fantastic*
Building settlements was by far and away my favorite part of the game. I know, it didn't live up to everyone else's expectations, but for me, nothing was more fun than turning junkyards into apartment complexes with turrets, robot guards, and all sorts of amenities.
This is simply genius. You guys shot around a random, run-down shack for this. You cranked out a WAY more entertaining production than HGTV with probably little to no budget. Kudos!
I love Jeffery eating a potato at 2:50. Keeping those family traditions of eating raw potatoes.
This is relevant to my interests.
It has been 3 years
@@brock6856 Feels like 3 months
Mocking two completely different things at once, what an excellent idea! I'm not sure which should be more insulted, but this is certainly a fantastic performance and very well written!
Aside: Kyle, Allison; I hope you guys have a great time in the UK!
EDIT: Wait... is Jeffery eating _another_ raw Potato ?
AirTerranean What two things are they mocking?
Probably those reality shows that are just some dude looking for a house and how the fallout 4 settlements are all at the most stupid places (I.E. the "small shack instead of a high-tec vault" that they said)
Yeah, doing things with two different things makes up like half their videos. Like making a mockumentary based on their Civ V skits.
He's Irish. It's what they do.
@Manek Iridius The same way you set up farmland in vault 88 perhaps?
I liked this video twice than my brain started working again and liked it a third time so it actually counts.
Number of likes on this comment at the time of me posting this: 69.
What HAVE you been doing while your brain was down?
Its 3 am but sure, ill stay up longer...
You're a Moon Truther?! Excellent. I am pleased to meet a fellow man of culture.
Please tell me this will become a consistent series of Ethan trying to convince different people to build settlements and not become murder hobos.
If there is one thing I can really appreciate about Door Monster above all else, it's their one liners at the end of their videos.
HELP! ANOTHER SETTLEMENT NEEDS YOUR HELP! LET ME MARK IT ON YOUR PIP BOI
love all the work y’all put in your show been watching for a while and love the improvements that you have made along the way can’t wait to see what is next
" or The Vault that you came from, which is clearly the best option...." This is why these parodies shine so much.
3:41 oh he’s Sturges, i get it now
I thought Jeffery lived that long by killing another immortal, not being frozen.
The editing in this was amazing. I found myself really trying to see where the Photoshop began and the real scene ended but when looking quickly it blended so well!
I love the reference that he has to say he did everything individually
All of these skits for years never get old, I absolutely adore the time and effort put into these
wait... is that the same place you recorded license to maim?
I think it's Ethan's dad's house again, if I recognize the chicken hutch correctly...
Also the TF2 rocket jumping video (Failed launch if I remember correctly)
And the DayZ one, for that matter
And PUBG: Second Place Champ
This is way, way, way too well written.
"There's one"
BANG BANG BANG
Bloody why is that so funny
"Home feels like not getting murdered"
There's an eerie amount of truth in that sentance.
*Cough cough* That is... Spicy
yeah it's irradiated
me: *dying of laughter*
Dr: your laughter is irradiated
"...'Cause home feels like not getting murdered. ;D"
I like the implicit bit about postponing saving my kid for months in order to build 30 settlements and loot everything before...
This has to be one of your best videos yet.
Those corpses included made the whole thing worth it; set up a little autobutcher in that shack, toss the bodies onto the conveyor belt, and now you have free food *and* blood to make stimpaks from! What a steal! To top it off, the human bones are great to make soap from, perfect to clean up that pool. The apocalypse is no excuse for poor hygiene!
Hey man, the host is right - the vault IS the best option.
@Manek Iridius grow it outside the vault and live inside the fortified structure. You aren't going to see full-scale sustenance farming in a medieval castle let alone your fucking back garden, are you? The Vault, as its name implies, stores supplies and protects its contents from harm.
Allison Edge Meter: Sadness
There was literally nothing to work with here. Not even Lola.
.
So, what you're saying is that you now feel compelled to be called edgy and you're inventing reasons to be so?
So edgy...
I LOVE this video! My GF watches a lot of those 'househunter' shows and she's watching this over my shoulder and laughing her butt off.
3:40 On my most recent playthrough I turned Sanctuary into a thriving settlement before I saved Preston's group.
It turned the quest from "We could turn this place into a real home. Wanna help?"
into a bunch of arrogant douchebags walzing into *my* town, ordering me around and literally telling me *I* was always welcome in *their* settlement...
I already had everything they wanted me to build but they were still scripted to complain which made it look like they were talking down to me and my "shitty" settlement!
I hope he didn't actually drink that water, if he did, he might have a parasite
Long Live The Murder Hobo!
I really enjoyed the editing, camerawork, acting and music this episode because it was a genre change from what you usually do. Yet your writing style still fitted it effortlessly. You really nailed (puns) the genre of these type of shows so effortlessly great work Kyle, Ian, Jeffrey! (and everyone else)
I like to think if the Fallout Universe ever gets TVs to work again that this will be one of the shows
Yay Jefferey!
I watched this video and immediately thought to myself: "Wait a minute. No Kyle?". Then I realized, he has to be the guy getting shot at 1:31. No one else could flail so elegantly.
Great done with this video, i love how you made the settlement look realistic, and it's just amazing. Love your talent.
Fantastic! As a part-time viewer of home-buying shows, I appreciate this spoof. Nice to see Ethan and Jefferey too!
Oowie a game I actually understand! Also wandering murder hobo eyy?
Isn't this where you filmed the TF2 videos?
InTenZeGamingHD where do you think the corpses came from, He only killed 1 guy
Wait, will the residents respawn in a few seconds then?
The editing on this is just like the reality shows! You nailed the two genres! X'D
I really appreciate how funny your skits are even if you haven't played the game. 😄
This guy should deffinetly be an NPC in the next Fallout game. Imagine the next preston "General, a settlement need you help.. WITH DECORATIONS"
Another settlement needs your help! Let me mark it on your map!
That meme must die...so does the vore community
Makes a big scrawl over the whole map, encompassing all your settlements.
"Yup, those are all in immediate danger of dying without you holding their hand."
I'm a big Minutemen fan so that meme rages me
Asher Tirona
Same
Shut up Preston
SMALL ORANGE MAN IS BACK
JEFFERY IS ALIVE!!! Also, I really like the references in this video.
One of my most favorite episodes. ❤ This one hits
This is perfect!!
Is Ethan meant to be the engineer from the Minutemen? If so, v. good video. If not, v. good video, nonetheless. I too got stuck after being distracted by settlements for so long that I forgot the questlines. Have a nice day.
p.s. I thought that you handled the EU4 video very maturely. I have been a subscriber for almost 2 years, and I am constantly impressed by the quality of your videos, and how well you can take problems in stride.
p.p.s. Can I be on Community Comments now?
Everything from the editing to the music was spot on.
More mechanics and effort put into the murder than the base building, so murder is what I do.
Seriously, an actual campaign to incentivise base building. The Skyrim mod “Helgen Reborn” did it and did it amazingly
Meh, I wouldn't personally call Helgen Reborn amazing. The part in the middle where you're taking all of the guards on their respective missions just felt like story padding, destroyed the pacing and had nothing really to do with the rest of the narrative aside from giving tiime for the settlement to be built.
It would have been better if the place were build while you did missions relevant to the story. Or if you actually contributed to it building in any way.
EvilDylan I’ll give you that, that section could have been better but honestly I feel like the whole thing was more of a pleasant distraction so you went along, fought some interesting fights, met some different characters then at the end of it all, there’s a new city.
Compared to Fallout 4 where you just drop whatever you need at that moment and move on. No plot behind any of them, no characters worth the time of day. Just a recycled mod essentially
1k upvotes no down votes keeps up the great work!!
Commander Stama They're called likes and dislikes...
Okay... so... i wasn't such a big fan of the idea of Fallout 4 videos... since im not a fan of the game...
BUT HOLY CRAP! WE NEED A FALLOUT SERIES!!! :D
You guys are absolute masters of the art! You can turn even the most boring things into absolute pure genius!
I love you and thank you for all the content you create. :)
LetsPlayCrazy most boring things ?
This is definitely one of your best videos so far, keep up the good work!
Well done. This is by far one of my favorite videos that you have made. Keep up the good work!
Man, where did you guys find such a nice section of nuclear wasteland...
OOOOHHHH, that's just Texas....
to be fair it looks like Canada right now but with a Sepia filter, so I can't really judge
More Fallout videos please

You guys hit that feel of these shows right on the spot.
Wow. Someone in the wasteland so insane...they want to do a completely reasonable thing and create a fortified homestead.
Plot twist: Lebron is the Extortionist Hobo and something weird happens to the timeline and he ends up trying to rob from himself. The hobo is obsessed with Lebron because the hobo IS Lebron!
It's funny because I just learned the term "murder hobo" yesterday from Geek & Sundry's channel. lol I live in Fort Worth, only business I might be able to pull is a coffee shop that is run by a church that I am a part of, but you guys would be more than welcome to use my home, and likely many of my friends' homes if yall just want a change of scenery.
Happy to be here watching this content again since I haven't really seen much Au guise in the last couple of years until recently.
I don't play fallout 4 much anymore if at all, But what I really enjoyed about the settlement building was that it actually helped you feel like somewhere was home. Every time I play a new playthrough I will pick a new settlement to be my permanent home and something I personally like to do because I smoke weed when I play games is to go home or if I'm traveling, and it starts to rain I like to role play it that I will stop and hang out. And I only do this in Fallout 4 because the last survivor was a pre-war human and some habits die harder than others. Sometimes I just keep going if I'm really focused on a specific goal but there's something serene about looking for cover and finding a place to have your character sit down and to just enjoy the detail of a given area. Sometimes you're just looking around and enjoying Aesthetics and the feel of having sat there before the war. Other times things actually happen and you can observe them. It's kind of cool
Easily one of the highest quality uploads on this channel (in my opinion). Keep up the great work.
It’s always a murder hobo
I was just checking YT before going to fallout 4 to build new settlements...
0:55
Ouch that hit home.
As someone who watches Property Brothers, fixer upper shows and also plays Fallout 4, this is a brilliant video. Awesome job! : )
Nito
Well murder hoboing yields loot whereas building settlements only yields absolutely nothing. Seriously, what were they thinking? It didn't occur to Bethesda to have settlements occasionally put you in the path of a legendary item or two? Or unlock a buff follower? It's objectively a complete waste of time even by the metric of a video game. Todd ought to be ashamed of himself
You can earn a lot of caps and purified water if you play your cards right, also unlimited vegetables that can make vegetable starch which is adhesive for modding
Well some people will object you on that, as there's a number of people who really like it. Plus you don't have to do it so its completely optional.
In my Steam review I told people who liked the settlement system to just go play Minecraft. For real. Totally seriously. If you're going to build shit in a game that provides no particular reason to do so (though Minecraft still provides more damn reason than Fallout 4 does).....do it in a game that's actually good at it.
Flynn Tom Not true. The Molecular Level involves building the relay pieces and some power generators using the settlement system. It's not a lot of using settlements but the fact remains it's not optional. What I'm saying isn't that the settlement system can't be fun for a bit, it's that in the framework of the game you're not getting any tangible rewards, besides a monument to time spent. Everything else in Fallout 4 gives you some gear to better play with but the settlement system isn't even self-sustaining. Going out and killing stuff gives you scrap that could be used to help you build a settlement, building a settlement doesn't even do that and certainly doesn't help you with anything outside of it. Rewards should be in some way balanced, comparing hobo-ing to building, but they aren't and imo that's one of the big nails in the coffin of trying to commit to settlements, the thought of "I could be improving my character in some way right now."
Daniel Copsey traders get you stuff, but other than that....
you guys get better and better
Good to see comedy done well.
This is brilliant. I like the before and after photos.
