Fallout's Alien Mystery Keeps Getting Weirder 

Did nate forget about the last part of the ice burg videos dint we were supposed to get a 5th part

Can you please do a short or something similar about the Lovecraft book pickman's model, it has so many similarities to pickman's gallery

no

no

It could be because they don’t view humans as a sentient race necessary for communication. To them, we may as well be animals on a lab table

​@@painthegreat I'm not gonna stop a cow from trying to talk to me

“ Human thought is so primitive it's looked upon as an infectious disease in some of the better galaxies. That kind of makes you proud, doesn't it?”

he doesn't know anything about the game, he is in a reddit forum somewhere and is just repeating what other people said, I am seeing this more and more, all of these youtubers who talk like their life is fallout, this guys advertising another fuckin game in the description, avoid people like this, you are nothing but a puppet clicking advertisers commercials.

@@cortholiopezorama8879 Macross / Robotech had the right idea I suppose. The ability to love and play music are two of humanities greatest abilities, and are quite infectious as well.

Canada doesn't exist in the fallout universe...It was annexed.

@@jeffdroog That doesn't mean it just ceases to exist

@@YoungBuck7912 Yep, exactly lol. What an annexed country in real life becomes (i.e. how it is incorporated into the annexing nation) can certainly vary based on all kinds of factors, not the least of which is the surrounding historical context present in the moment, there's no doubt about that. In this case from the Fallout universe, the country of Canada had been effectively bullied, disrespected, and exploited by the United States for at least an entire decade prior to the ultimate, horrifically violent annexation. So in no way did the Canadian people want the Americans to be there (they were leaving cities destroyed in their wake, and stealing a ridiculous amount of natural resources to use for the war effort against china, ignoring, suppressing, and crushing protests all the while), let alone be fully stripped of their national sovereignty, dignity, you get the gist. It was not a mutually beneficial relationship, and it wasn't built on trust, mutual respect, solidarity, or fairness. The U.S. government could and should absolutely be classified as having been a truly evil entity, and an irredeemable one by any meaningful metric, starting *at least* ten years before the Great War began and ended in nuclear fire. With that context, we can look at the result of the eventual _official_ annexation of Canada in 2072, and wholly understand it. Canada didn't stop existing in '72, but oh man I'd bet people would've wished they _had_ been removed from existence every day of that final half a decade before the bombs dropped (I mean literally all protestors including peaceful ones were simply being*shot on sight, sometimes executed publicly on camera,* it's horrifying to imagine)-the Canadian provinces were made U.S. territories, not several states (that each would be entitled to two US senators), not one single state (which would at least give Canada two federal senators and some meager voting representation in Congress, not a commonwealth, territories. No voting power, no say in their own fate, no rights at that point whatsoever, which to be fair was also true for the American citizenry at the time, the democratic era was long gone.

@@realzachfluke1felt like i was on Reddit for a sec.

@@overland1178 Hahaha I feel you

Yeah i was actually thinking the same thing. Parallel parking sucks

Angry animal crossing simlish mfers

Clearly, the alien did not know how to drive stick.

It actually sounds like a piss-take-ish sort of tribute to the 1990s film, Mars Attacks. Which itself was a piss-take-ish sort of parody of War of the Worlds. But the alien laguage in Fallout DOES sound hella similar to how they talked in that film. (It's actually a half decent film with a B-movie feel at the same time as having a pretty stellar cast of high-paid acting types like Jack Nicholson, Michael J Fox, Pierce Brosnan and Natalie Portman in it, they even managed to get Tom Jones playing himself in it too!)

@@ZIGZAG12345I love that movie tho FR. Need to rewatch it

I'm just saying people in the same nation have different cars and different guns. Also the alien in fallout 4 is I think what 10 years in the future or 20 after fallout 3? Could be that they just upgraded their ships and weapons. I really want to know more about it y'know.

I definitely agree.

There's also the more simple possibility of the differences in technology simply being caused by the advance of technology over time. Remember, the alien craft and blaster in FO3 were clearly there for quite a while, while the ship in FO4 crashed literally as we were playing. considering how rapidly human technology has changed in the last 50 years, and the fact that the rate of technological advancement grows exponentially as a society advances, it wouldn't be surprising if the differences we noticed were caused by the swift technological advancement of an interstellar society.

​​@@N3phi11im I find that hard to believe, considering that in the morhership zeta dlc, they had humans from up to 500 years before the events of the game, suggesting that their technology seems to have been the same for centuries, so a massive change in just a few years is (imo) unlikely, also the aliens from fo4 appear in 76 too, and that game takes place only 25 years or so after the bombs dropped, more than a hundred years before 4.

I agree with @@chiffoncakeandtea

The men in black is following the myths from the area around Point Pleasant they was first sigthed after the Mothman sigthings

let's not forget that Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones did 2 Men in Black films, where they were government agents trying to prevent civilians from knowing about aliens. As a matter of fact, that weird esoteric tangent he goes on mimics Agent Kay's "You ever just look up at the stars?" bit before the Flashy Thingies you, which is what the Emissary does to the player. The name of the character could be a potential Trek nod, as Avery Brooks's Sisko was known as the Emissary to the Bajorans, but that part might be a stretch. (I noticed we see both Thetan and Zetan used in FO3, but I have a theory that Thetan got left in by accident and it was a placeholder potentially connecting them to the hubologists more directly.)

Scientology maximum level is OT8. Hubology level 8 as well.

@Scott Wilson when I first learned about Co$ I didn't know enough to see past the name, the oddly specific number of levels was what made me stop and go "wait a sec."

I just came to the comments to say this! The hubologists are 100% the fallout version of scientologists

Thanks for telling us friend

Another thing of note that seems to have been missed is that when the death ray hits earth it looks suspiciously like a mushroom cloud meaning they could have used it to trick someone into thinking they've been nuked.....

that’s really cool 😅😅 thanks for sharing

Hmm, don't like that lol. Kinda undercuts any bite the setting has left

@@Ezekiel_Allium The details Zebra left out are that A: the dialog is actually fully recorded for that but just isn't called right by the game, and he just says he can feel them in his head, and B: They seem to just want their captives to talk about whatever and he seems to just assume they want the launch codes because they're the single most classified piece of information he has. He starts just repeating his name and rank as an inti-interrogation technique, which seems to be what causes them to get more violent with him, presumably due to him no longer saying anything new.

FEV was developed from a virus it is hinted was discovered in a downed otherworldly craft.

They may have a natural immunity to it or its what they used to create the abominations

@@SproutTussle seems reasonable.

I wonder if the Americans acquired samples of what would become FEV from the Zetans during either the moon war or other lesser conflicts with crashed Zetans ships. FEV may have been reverse engineered from a Zetan bioweapon or some sort of Zetan super soldier serum.

humans often die from fev exposure, I can't imagine it going well on the zetans who are VERY fragile.

...How would when the game takes place matter for that? All we know is that the blaster was from pre-war, and that means very little when Hub's alien blaster was also pre-war, there's a good chance the one in the Enclave crawler base was pre-war, and presumably the alien weapons technology used to develop the first plasma weapon prototypes was an alien blaster as well. Honestly, the best arguments for why the FO76 one sucks are it being submerged in water for who knows how long, and any tinkering that could have been done to it in attempts to learn more about it.

But the blaster design from Nuka World? That's pre-war with the same design as fallout 3. At least 25 years pre-Fo76

I'm not sure there's only one species or faction of alien. The two blasters could be from different species or ethnicities of aliens too.

It does less damage because they need to balance a multiplayer game

i think the 76 is so shit because it was literally just underwater for like 50 years

Frrr

For someone who doesn’t play a lot of RDR2 and GTA V he absolutely knocked it out of the park for his first time dipping into the Rockstar Universe. I hope we can get some more content for GTA and RDR2 but I’m perfectly content with Fallout lore even though I don’t have any of the titles currently lool

Between Him and Oxhorn there is no better

I'm so high on lore RN man

​@@remingtonbaker1804 smoking that lorebook🤤

Also Quetzel maybe a corruption of Quetzalcoatl, which is related to Aztec culture but also Mormonism. With a character named Trevor Moorman, I'm sure it's not a coincidence that Bethesda maybe were trying to make a link here. Plus Quetzalcoatl has parallels with Lovecraft's Yig.

@@cmdr.jabozerstorer3968 there are connections with Jack Parsons too and the fact that greys are just demons as represented by Crowley in his "LAM" sketch

Yeah, there is a "planet" Quetzal (theorized zetan planet but it was presumably a made up planet by the scientology guy in fallout4) but also a love craftian being called quetzal both in fallout so I dont think you are far off in that assumption

@@blaketfg9374 Wasn't there the Hubologist ESS Quetzel spaceship?

@@cmdr.jabozerstorer3968 Yeah, it was the ship meant to take them to planet quetzel

As I understand it, it wasn't used to find it, but one of the scientists who discovered it thought it looked familiar, then realized why. He checked the map against what they'd found, and sure enough, it matched up.

I want to believe 😂

​@@burninsherman1037that's still pretty impressive

@@Lily-ge4tm more so, I'd say. She had an accurate map of a star system before it had even been looked at.

There’s a lot of alien lore through history that references zeta reticuli, makes you think

That’s incredibly true.

Amen! Thanks epicnate!! ( Btw, 2 months ago you mentioned you'd be releasing a vid in a couple weeks..mind you I'm NOT complaining about the time, I'm just concerned. You ok man?)

That random encounter is a true random encounter. It can happen at any random encounter location in Fallout 3. I had it happen twice. Once in the North of the map, and another South of Little Lamplight.

I believe that is a random event that can happen in a few different locations (like the other random events) but yeah, thats definitely worth a mention too!

@@Gilhelmi I only found the lance when I attacked some raiders at the super duper mart and one of em was carrying it.

very much just a random event. have seen that thing drop all over the map... (only got it 4-5 times over the years myself.)

@@PaidInBoredom event probably happened there. The AI is programmed to pick up better weapons. But that would be hilarious to see.

If it was YOUR MOTHERship, it would be so big that it would never shrink it in the distance.

That's really hopeful thinking on your part that Bethesda would remember that in a future FO property.

Would love to get a Fallout game *not* on a coastline.

@@LexIconLS new vegas?

@@LexIconLS play the one that is the most popular and you get that lol

Zetans listen to Kanye, Travis Scott & C.Tangana.

Indeed, and the voices on the Zeta Radio channel really sound a lot like the Aliens from the movie "Mars Attacks!".

Pretty Sure that is his whole deal in this, a MIB reference. And adding to that Homer he could just be another MIB agent, they do have Aliens from all kinds of races in their ranks and him trying to fit in or make it easier for you to "trust" him would explain his weird behaviour.

The Men in Black movies are loosely based on actual stories of "men in black" related to aliens/UFOs. They're often very strange in behavior and appearance, ranging from just a little off normal to very eerie and inhuman, though sometimes they're just people who seem to be acting "fake" and give vague ID details. They show up at people's houses to collect UFO evidence (which is then never seen again, the agency/org. they claimed to work for has never heard of them etc.) or to interview witnesses. Often the stories involve memory of a bright flash of light after which they don't remember what happened or where the men in black went. Sometimes men in black also follow people in cars, or show up semi-randomly in remote places but wearing nice clothes and still behaving strangely. Whether they're against the aliens or not varies. They're usually supposed to be with the government or they claim to be, but they're always covering up alien stuff. In some stories the government is supposed to be against the aliens, in some they're working with the aliens, in some there are good and bad aliens that work with different humans, but the MIBs are pretty much always bad. In some stories they're implied to be aliens in disguise, or some creation of the aliens disguised as humans. Sometimes when they're in remote areas they get in and out of UFOs, like a UFO will drop down in the woods and a guy in a suit will walk out alone before the UFO takes off lmao. I'd recommend looking up some of the stories, plenty on youtube. The Men in Black movies are fun but they're only related to the original stories in superficial ways.

@@Bane_questionmark Very familiar with them actually. The use of the white flash to represent the neuralyzer seemed like a direct reference to the movies though.

I’m sure, but he didn’t want to get slammed by those cultists. They are sue-happy.

​@richard7199 I think they stopped suing after Matt and Trey made them into total laughing stocks in the early 2010's they haven't tried any major lawsuits after that

@@axelreboot8475this wouldn’t be a major lawsuit, may be wrong but I feel like I remember them suing RU-vidrs after.

Nope lol, it's kinda hilarious. Like does this dude really know nothing about what fallout is referencing?

Obviously he did. Ironic that people are jumping on him. Scientology sues. Cmon guys....

I think you ment to say Lone Wanderer on your first point

but the 4 version was found during pre war by that Hubble dude and the guys in 76. the 3 version was also mimicked by nuka world which was also pre war.

They could just be different weapons all together, kind of like our weapons such as the m4 or m16. I think they are just different models for different roles such as support or assault

3. Bethesda are inconsistent

The one in fallout 4 looked like it had been shot down. Maybe either wastelanders bringing them down or possibly aliens fighting each other?

Nukes maybe

​@@Rizzatouille no way it would have gone down immediately after the great war not 200 years after

The high radiation content of Earth's atmosphere might be causing catastrophic interference.

Could be a situation of long overdue maintenance on a extended operation force. Think how badly equipment can behave today if it’s not properly maintained to a high standard over short periods of time. Now imagine said aliens being here for centuries and maybe some of those ships have been in use for a long while to the point some miss maintenance or are suffering from a long period of time away from their own star. Hell maybe it’s a mix of just intergalactic travel taking a hit on their equipment and time spent in space that leads them to crash so much.

I love having them on whenever I have a Fallout game going.

How about you have an opinion and not need people to justify it for you

​@@YaksenPushMongo What does that have to do with anything.

@@YaksenPushMongo “Dude is just redoing videos now. Find some new content buddy. Yeah, this is definitely troll behavior and I'm not gonna make you ruin a good comment; unlike the one, you posted recently. So anything you say is irrelevant 😁

@@king_fisherXX Dawg it was your choice to take the bait and you did anyway

Or they were the Dwemer that disappeared from Skyrim. Assuming you believe Skyrim came before and not after Fall Out.

Frickin Loki...

Best I can do is psykers from 40k?

@@freekill1018 Not quite, though from what I understand the name does come from 40k. 40k psykers draw on the power of the Warp, another plane entirely. Fallout psykers are closer to X-Men mutants, having powers such as telepathy, telekinesis, and pryokinesis that are drawn from the mind.

The final boss of Fall out one also is shown psychic powers gained through a lot of FEV exposure

@@pikachufantastic He is literally the first one I mentioned lol

@@kabobawsome I was agreeing with you

I always thought it would be neat for Bethesda to make an alternate universe game(s) where the great war never happened. Instead, we get one game where the Zetans are the reason the world ended and it's an alien invasion apocalypse, where we're surviving after the earth governments took out the mothership (and fell apart in the invasion.) Or one game where it's all Psycher powers and the apocalypse was caused by the Dunwich horror. So we get a very Cthullu style setting with most people driven insane.

They already made it, called fallout tactics. Wasn't received well.

@@nustada it’s a shame Fallout Tactics 2 was never made, we would have explored Anchorage and further round the Pacific Rim to China judging by the concept script.

There is a game similar to this that is being released in a month or so. Called Meet Your Maker. Where you raid other players for GenMat while building a place for others to raid too. I won't explain it all right here so look it up if interested

I want Bethesda to realese a assassins creed style dark brother hood game

What About d. B. Cooper? The guy who hijacked a plane.

@@Roboshark1019 DB Cooper's heist took place in the Pacific Northwest, West Virginia is on the other side of the country. And since it's alien related, the Fire in the Sky connection makes more sense.

@@AshleyWilliamsN7 ik but he keeps saying d b witch reminds me of cooper

@@Roboshark1019 we were talking about aliens, not hijackers.

@@Roboshark1019 what about him?

Please get over yourself.

Oh wow, I didn't know that. That definitely does sound like a reference.

Indrid himself just showed up in fallout 76. It’s literally him. Not just a reference. Pretty cool

They aren’t real aliens in new Vegas. Wild wasteland is explicitly a mental disorder.

that sounds more like a bug tbh

Its an rpg, its not that you are terrible at it, it's that you are playing the role of an incompetent character

Play with god mode on, go enjoy the game lol

How are you terrible at playing fallout?

How can you be bad at an RPG?

The funny thing there is that he *wasn't* forced to, he was just being made to talk into the recording device like everyone else. He just assumed that was what they were after because it was the most sensitive information he had.

It’s a men in black refrence, he talks about the night sky which they do, they also use a bright light deneuraliser to delete ur memories which he does

@@goose5581 Not saying that you're wrong but the man that is in the game is almost spot on Indrid Cold, who has also been seen in West Virginia. Might be a man in black thing too, but my money is on Indrid Cold

​@@Schneternah the Emissary literally quoted a line from the first Men in Black movie. Immediately followed by a flash (neuralizer), and the man is gone. Highly doubtful this is referencing someone with no facial features.

@@argentum909 thanks for your input

@@argentum909The man in the game calls himself Indrid. He is supposed to be the same creature from the myth. In the story when Cole was first sighted he had no facial features and with each new sighting he gained a nose, ears, etc. He only used telepathy to communicate and always smiled. Some think he is related to the urban legend Men in Black (the comic the movies are based on are inspired by the legends of them who appear after ufo sightings).

Interesting theory

I've never thought about that before but it makes sense to me.

Their planet was destroyed so they juymst follow the Elder Gods around and try to stop them. Reminds me of Falling Skies.

The MS seemingly teleports to you and teleports away after one shotting an enemy.

Yessss

Hallelujah

I read this as "my dad is saved" and I was really happy for your dad.

*Insert Mothman worship chant here* 🦋

Lol seriously tho... I may be late for work because of this lol!

Buy it, pretty cheap pretty much anywhere and ALL updates are included as it’s live service. The map itself is breathtaking and has SO much to explore and discover. And all of it can be done solo!

It's definitely worth playing now. 80% of the bullshit that was at launch is now removed and patched. Storywise I wouldn’t say it's as expansive as the older Fallouts but it are interesting and worth checking out. This season will be bringing back the Invaders from Beyond event so I would jump on it so you don't miss out.

It’s cheep because it sucks ass.

If you play on Xbox or PC I'm pretty sure it is part of gamepass just in case that helps

Yeah, I want to play, but at the same time... I don't want to play with strangers. Sigh.

I had to scroll so damn far before finding someone else who caught that and mentioned it.

The pre-war money is a tangible representation of the countries wealth at large. Just like IRL. So without government and the national banking systems, those government bank notes have no value.

The other thing is inflation, if you can walk in a bank and get millions of dollars in cash then it’s worthless

It’s from fallout 1. One bottle cap = one serving of water from the hub. It was adopted on the west coast first, then the East from traders. It’s a standard precious resource backed currency

Definitely worth playing again if you've got the time. The wide variety of playstyles in both Skyrim and Fallout keeps it fresh. Only saying because I was done with them, but Skyrims necromancy has hooked me again. Trying to spread the dopamine disease XD

he's great!

Yes!!! Chapters for the win!! It's the best for rewatching multiple sections

I don’t believe there’s anything specific to it. It takes too much processing power to reflect the actual area around you, so the game uses a pre-set “reflection”. This is most notable on the glass domes used by the pay phones in Fallout 4, especially ones inside: despite being inside, the reflection will be that of a city street.

Heh, a fine mystery, in a way! Second replier likely speaks the truth - modern high-end GPUs can display raytraced images, including authentic glass and mirror reflections, but at great cost. I don't think RTX-tier graphics cards were even a distant consideration for Bethesda's programmers back in 2014, 2015.

@@aircobraman1375 Its a nice though, but its in Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 76 and Fallout 4. All four of those involve different people, yet it is the same image. Logically ,it can not be such a think as a memory of image of anyones past if all 4 different vault people have it from different times and different locations.

@@swk3000 The fact it uses any reflection means it was thought and considered first. They knew an unloaded texture would not work, not would simply a black void. Nope It has nothing to do with processing power at all. It is a static image, one they reused in 4 different fallout games, FO3, F:NV, FO4 and FO:76. There is a reason they KEEP reusing that particular asset and i believe that is possibly a mystery to be discovered.

@@Gyrfalcon312 As I stated to the other commenter, This exists in 4 separate Fallout games, 4. Each games uses different specifications and different vault entities . It simply can not be a performance artefact. Having a simple black void would use so much less resources than an actual static image of anything with colors, shades and variants.

Duh

The Genius of fallout is that anything can be inserted into it, and there is already real world lore to back it all up and fit it in without the need for retconning.

Stanfield is the far future of the fallout universe. That's my fan theory.
