I release lore and game play videos primarily covering Fallout 76 and Starfield. I try to release a lore video every two weeks, but my schedule does not always cooperate.
There are too many games I enjoy playing so I generally have trouble deciding which one to play from day to day. In between Fallout 76 and Starfield I'm generally playing They are Billions, Rimworld, Minecraft, Project Zomboid, Dishonored (1 and 2), Prey, Skyrim, Oblivion, Astroneer, Assassin's Creed (1-vallhalla), Car Mechanic Simulator, Oxygen Not Included, Stardew Valley, Windward, Spore, Subterrain, No Man's sky, Bio Inc. Redemption, Big Pharma, Fallout 4, Gnomoria, Just Cause 2, Kerbal Space Program, Mass Effect (1-Andromeda), Grim Dawn, Dead Space (1-3), Age of Empires 2 Definitive, Alien:Isolation, Bioshock (1-Infinite), Halo (1-3), GTA V, Mad Max, L.A. Noire, Plague Inc, Portal, Red Faction Guerrilla, Civ VI and Beyond Earth, Viscera Cleanup Detail, and X-COM
There are similar in some ways: Volunteers Helping those in need Fighting dangers to the general public But there are differences too. Responders: Primarily focused on medical and humanitarian aide. Strong science and engineering team. Minutemen: Primarily focused on military action - defending farms, attacking raider strongholds, and rescuing kidnap victims.
@@IrresoluteCartographer With the creation kit the stars are the limit, for me that was when I really started to like Skyrim was when the modding really allowed a ton of creative freedom.
You know, the motivation of the Institute in regarding Nate/Nora could take a potentially very dark turn if you play as Nora, why? What is the one thing Nora can do that Nate cannot? .... *give birth* And I dont think for a second that the elitists in the Institute would be above using women as broodmares if their research requires it.
So my theory on why they kill the other 111 dwellers is that since the Vault wasn't necessarily intended to run for 200+ years, they realized it was running out of cryo-fuel or w/e, and didn't have enough to keep the other residents supported indefinitely, so they axed them to make sure the Sole Survivor would be kept alive until they potentially needed them.
I think it’s a bit odd that the real-life experiment testing starvation considered 1570 calories to be near starvation. To lose weight, I ate around 1200 calories for 3 months, and sure, I was hungry, but I would not consider what I experienced to be anywhere near starvation.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find that people burned more calories on a daily basis at that time. Far fewer technological conveniences to take the elbow grease out of work.
@@IrresoluteCartographer I completely agree, people definitely burned more calories per day back then, however, I don’t exactly live an ordinary lifestyle. I do weight training for 2 hours a day, and run 10-15 miles per day, and I was still able to actually put on muscle during this diet. My opinion holds no weight at all, but in it I would consider starvation to be eating so few calories that it actually affects mental processes, mainly due to the fact that the brain uses the most calories of anything in the body.
I that’s an impressive regimen. I don’t know what your situation was exactly when you were looking to lose weight, but I’d bet that the participants of the study were, if anything, underweight by todays standards. Keep in mind that this took place after the Great Depression, and during war rationing. Edit(addition): what I mean is that they didn’t probably have much of a fat reserve to draw from while in a deficit.
Funny how "Switching to Robits is effective at Mass Production, but Very BAD at quality. Ford Everything has RUSTED Steel Paper since they switched from HUMAN Painters. (I understand health and safty Extra costs... funny how prices are still Higher then ever "grumpy 35 year old")
Before Video thoughts: Grafton gave me a vibe of: North Michigan, Petoskey or Travers City if industry was ALLOWED to make the Lakes and environment a NIGHTMARE, even before the bombs. Live/ lived 30 minutes from Detroit, but logged with my dad there and a bit in Michigan's Upper Pennsylvania, USA.
Forgot about the mission until the end: miss old fallouts: several "grey possibly option" like keep all, but kill the 1 scientist ( sycophantic, one who thought they did Nothing Wrong). In the moment that is what I wanted to do.. maybe a bit amped up. Would ATLEAST be a warning to the other who "lied about know there were human test subjects". Just look up any medication, eventually it is tested on humans, he is not that dumb.
Basically Todd howard made fallout 76 retarded because the game is too hard to play you level up cards they barely make a difference in damage and being staggered by every melee hit is annoying it took me 4 years to try playing this garbage of a Bethesda game it shoulda been a four player co op capable game rather than an mmo fallout 4 was great and this was literal trash
You weren't the only one to survive vault 101. Shaun is the only survivor. You are most likely a synth created with false memories to emulate Shaun's father/mother. This is why everyone is dead. You are dead too. You didn't survive. This is why later your character admits he/she can't remember much before the bombs fell. Its also why you have access to VATS with slowed time.
@@jpmoney20 Hey man, I don't like it either. Go talk to DIMA in Far Harbor about the possibility of being a synth. DIMA tells you that what you remember is consistent with Synth Programmed Memories. After all, we as the player know all that you are talking about, but we can only remember the day or so before the bombs fell. Your character can't even remember the last time they had a good steak before the bombs fell. It's all a blur.
Good video. Big fan of FO4 on the PS4, massively modded (of course). Bethesda game, meaning "Why bother? The modders can fix that." Always felt this applied as much to the background / lore as to what they did, or didn't do with the game itself. I am vaguely aware of US history, and had heard that Sanctuary Hills was sitting on what is a historical site ./national park in the real world. Thank you for the added detail. I'd quibble that the facing of a crashed Vertibird would not necessarily have any bearing (pun unintended) on the direction it was flying beforehand. If there was a mid-air loss of control, it could have done literally anything before finally crashing - flown straight OR 'spiralled in'.. So the Verti due east of V111 could still be a contender, not that this really matters. At least some of the US military and intel bases were specifically at a heightened state of alert before it all hit the fan, seen in their terminals and notes.. Let's be honest, there were a lot of Vault-Tec experiments that seemed downright stupid. I 've often wondered if it all came down to VT executives asking each other, 'What sick stuff will we do to people in THIS Vault?" and then randomly pulling scribbled-down ideas out of a hat. "Kittens? Psycho? Flamethrowers? I LOVE IT!!!!" As regards the bomb detonation actually seen ingame, good job on the backtracking. Given the crater, extent of the destruction and the fallout, it must have been a biggie. But we only see that specific detonation, and then quickly go underground, so lesser follow-up blasts MIGHT have also occurred. No obvious blast zones for these, but Boston was not an insignificant city, so I expect that there wouldn't be simply one big bomb and that was all. Thinking that Vault-Tec could have deliberately screened the V111 supervisor for certain psychological traits. Was an experiment going on INSIDE the experiment we all know about? There is zero evidence of this, but it would be completely in Vault-Tec's style. I'd point out that "parallel" inventions and discoveries are surprisingly common throughout history. Various instances exist of groups and individuals coming up with remarkably similar ideas, with no prior contact. The Cryolater could be one of those things, or it could be as simple as both inventors, just happening to read the same source at some stage. Maybe the Cryolater was first seen as a villain weapon in an 'Unstoppables' comic book? Purely hypothetical, but it'd make sense. And yeah, the Institute's deliberate extermination / mass murder of everyone else in Vault 111 makes no sense at all , except as an in-story illustration of how they operate. We see that again and again - University Point, the FEV Lab, etcetera. Some people go on about how the Institute is the "best" faction, but their tech is the only reason to go with them. Leading to another gripe - whether the Institute, or the BOS or the Railroad, you can rise to high rank / influence in any of these, but cannot do a damn thing about how they take care of business. I feel like trying to steer them onto different paths could have been an very interesting aspect of the overall game, but no. My own head-canon prefers destroying the Institute, with an EVENTUAL Minutemen-Railroad alliance, but that's just me. :) Btw, I do like that you used a greening mod for your game. That aspect of FO lore never made any sense to me - nature is incredibly resilient, and we only have to look at Chernobyl to understand what would eventually happen in time, with even severely contaminated areas.
Fantastic. FO76 more than any other Fallout games lore is scattered about and hidden. Especially its early versions when there were no people. Playing you only get snippets. Hearing it all like you have done really paints a solid story. Also, it makes me really like the Responders.
I always figured the vertibird that crashed into the museum was the one outside Vault 111 on the day the bombs fell. They could have had a stopover at Vault 111 en route, transferring essential personnel. Who woulda thought a video game recreation of a historical site wouldn't be accurate.... IRL, everyone on the elevator would have been cooked to a crisp before it even began moving. The cool thing about FO4 is that, even after many playthroughs I still discover new things. For example, I never noticed the security baton on the crate before. It really doesn't matter because radroaches are a one punch deal anyway. I don't think I found the Red Menace holotape until my third time. I never waste the ammo on the roaches. As for the fallout issue, it really all depends on the nature of the bomb's construction as to what specific isotopes will be in the fallout. If the bomb we see going off near Vault 111 was a ground burst, then you might not have got cooked while standing on the Vault 111 elevator, waiting for it to move. They would likely not have been in line of sight of the nucleus of the blast which would have blocked the infrared burst which could have instantly cooked them to char. It is likely the massive crater to the south was once a major strategic installation that was heavily fortified, where a ground burst would be appropriate. The existence of a nuclear weapons stockpile there could explain the Glowing Sea. They might destroy the bunker but not cause all the nuclear material stored there to go critical.
Another in depth and dare I say so far the best look at the series I've seen thus far. Well documented, well cited and always entertaining, it's a thrill and an honor to be part of this journey with you all in even the smallest way possible! Having grown up on Fallout since it's launch, it's amazing to see how it's grown from a 2-pack of game discs i bought one day to this massive IP before us and now a hit television series! Can't wait for more! -Mal
Is ir possible the the local Shawnee did after all they absorbed some of the local Adena after their dissolution and even occupied their sites up until they were mostly driven out?
It's possible. The people of the region seem to have been fairly nomadic, so it could have been locals who settled in river valleys, or hunter following herds that ended up occupying those regions by the 17th century when Europeans arrived.
Sorry to say this. But their is no way the Enclave could have taken over the presidents fall out shelter. There would be secret service on the sight from day one double checking everything. Building a residential area for the presidential staff? Why isn't their enough space? 30 rooms? No we need 500 plus rooms. Shut the site down. Who made these blue prints? Who's the Enclave? We better investigate this.
@RyanLesnerhatesneebsgaming I have to assume you’re trolling, or that we’re talking about two different people. The US president before the bombs was part of the Enclave. Thomas Eckhart, also a member of the Enclave and the former secretary of agriculture, became the president of the Whitespring Enclave through a rigged election after the war. MODUS did not replace him as “president”. John Henry Eden was the Enclave’s AI president in Fallout 3, and was an acquaintance of MODUS before the bombs.
@@IrresoluteCartographer When you visit the Enclave base to get the modified FEV for the water purifier you meet the replacement for the president of the united states. The President can only be replaced if he is dead. The guy who voices the president played the rich mob boss healer from heroes.
Awesome video thanks for the help, this has been the most stressful mission ive ever played in fallout...... Cleared a whole silo, died numerous times, wasted so many stimpaks, so much ammo, so much junk.... didnt have anything i needed to then launch a nuke. What a fuckin joy its been. Made me hate this game so fast lol.
