My First Fallout Playthroughs - The Many Mistakes Of Young Jon 

E. He pushed the shoot button due to his perception.

Accidental autosave

To be fair, the Atomic Wrangler isn't exactly an upscale place of business. They even have an underage girl advertising for it out front.

F) He just wondered if he could. Resulting in Kill Everything?

E. He accidentally stole something, agro-ing the whole casino

Based

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be

No difference between young Jon and old Jon then?

also Jon: makes a shitty video kissing Bugthesda's ass regarding F3 so he could make it to a greenbriar event to playtest fallout 76, shitting on New Vegas, a game he loved in the process.

I'm guessing he got caught stealing something

The deathclaw has acrobatics maxed out

I think that happened to me the very first time I found one in FO3, it was scary and incredible. I managed to get all the way to Old Olney or whatever it's called without ever seeing or fighting one, and then one runs at me I'm thinking oh shit oh shit oh shit what is that and it just zooms up in to the sky. But it fell down and died, so that was lucky. "Tap tap tap" "What's that noise?" The second Deathclaw which instantly killed me. And then when I reloaded the most recent save the first Deathclaw was fine and didn't do it's magic trick so I had to run away from TWO. And that is why Fallout 3 is still my favourite. So much chaos.

maybe the think-tank has been experimenting with splicing deathclaws and hellfire missiles.

Deathclaw -"I have to leave now. My people need me."

it's like using fly in pokemon

is he some how playing the save file on the pc? it dose not look like x box 360 graphics

@@awakeandwatching953 I may be the series S/X. If you have gold you can sync your saves through the cloud. Just a guess though🤓

@@ptbunz2501 This is on his 360, he says so in the video when he talks about how he found his old hard drive and popped it into his console.

@@kupokinzyt I heard that, I was simply guessing as the person above me asked why it looked so good.

@@ptbunz2501 having played the 360 version recently, FO3 and NV actually hold up rather well vs PS3. I believe the 360 is 720p native with 4X MSAA, almost completely hiding the jaggies. A lot of people played the PS3 copy which lacked AA and it looked really bad from it.

Or perhaps the idea was that you can't have a job if your employer is dead. That would explain the one survivor.

@@Dave5281968 I think you've got it. That'd be a very Jon thing to try

Or the drinks were water down just too much for Jon.

My theory is that he decided to save and murder everyone in the casino and then accidentally saved instead of loading

That's my first fallout 4 playthrough

Of all the channels to find watching MATN, it's the one I just found last week (and appreciate).

My head-canon is that Fisto malfunctioned and violently...."Fisto'd" them all to death,Jon and Jamieson being the sole survivors who had to put him down....

Me too! >:(

Me three

Me four.

Surely, somebody out there could check by replaying Fallout 3 and help Jon in his quest to solve that mystery. Which brave hero will heed this call?🤔 Edit: Me five🤣

I know some must have been deleted over the years - possibly just to save hard drive space, as the old 360 drives were pretty small.

I've still got my white PS1 memory card from the FFVIII collectors edition, got no PlayStation to check it on now though. I know there was a Pandemonuim save, a Metal Gear Solid save, a Destruction Derby save and obviously FFVII and FFVIII saves, but no idea how far each is or what else it may contain. I just know it's where I kept the backup saves for my favourite games.

am I the only one who meticulously keeps save files? I often transfer all that stuff when I build a new computer. Though I know I don't have saves from any games I played in the 90's, I probably didn't know how to transfer the files in those days.

@@jollybodger You can order converters to PC

I had mine on my old ps3 but i sold it 2 years ago ahhh wish i didnt.

"Claire, Past Jon is being a dick!" God, I can *hear* this.

By murdering everyone in the ultraluxe this time. Gotta be classy

I still remember that he spent almost all of his Skyrim playthrough about 10 units off his default capacity.

@@tournesol99 lol yes. It got so bad he had to make multiple cuts during one ep where he was just getting rid of stuff. Then after many comments he triumphantly declared he took about 30 mins+ to clear some capacity for the rest of the game so people would stop telling him. He opens up the menu and everyone can se he cleared... 15 carrying capacity.

@@inkyGhosty If I recall correctly, he had to do that sort of thing a few times throughout his playthrough and it always had the same result XD For me, I carry one or two bows, the armour I am wearing, some gloves for pickpocketing and the dark brotherhood gauntlets, a few potions, and the black star. That is pretty much all you need when you set out. I appreciate he wasn't a stealth archer, but a battlemage has pretty much no reason to sit at 280-290 weight when they prepare for adventure.

I can't let go of items and very bad at inventory management in Fallout. I once made a build in NV to have the most carrying capacity, and even had Pack Rat. 128 Bighorner steaks in my inventory and that was like 1/8 my inventory

First time I played Vegas was a couple years after launch. My brother had been playing from launch and promised me charisma was the best to max... never forgotten never forgiven

At least it wasn't an unpatched ps3 version I suppose. I believe that's the only version that faced even further downgrades and is overall the most unstable.

@@theepicduck6922 Yeah, the 360 version isn't actually that unstable in comparison to unmodded PC and a lot better than PS3.

@@theepicduck6922 I played FO3 on the PS3 with no internet connection and the original disk install only and never saw any glitches or crashes. Or course, it did not include any of the DLC content, either. I thought it was so good that I think I've become a total Fallout 3/NV/4 addict. :) And it seems that, on the Playstation's, the PS3 were stable, while Fallout 4 crashes some on the PS4 and crashes ALOT on the PS4 Pro.

@@Dave5281968 I don't remember any glitches on PS3 F3 either, certainly no jumping deathclaws.

You may be right - it's quite possible that I took an old Aria save, converted it for that purpose and then overwrote the original save without thinking...

Part 17 in the No kill run about 30 minutes in

@@oswk9 10 JonHistory points to you if that's correct!

YES! That was my first thought too! I remember watching that episode REALLY early after finding MATN and wasn't fully paying attention, and suddenly it was a girl, speaking French, and I was very confused. 😂

I came down here to say this too. Damnit, I wanted those 10 JonHistory points. :(

There's a good Elder Scrolls name generator for every race. I use it every time because I have no creativity of my own.

I would have thought, “Aria T’Loak” from Mass Effect 2, but that was still two years out yet. EDIT - John said he didn’t get F3 until after 2010, so maybe?

I often use silly names from back when I was 13 or 14 (this was back in the real old gaming days of the 80's). Not exactly mature names, but they are historical for me. My male characters usually have these names like Thrasher. Though for female characters I usually do try to use an actual name.

I have a few names I cycle through. Aria is a beautiful name btw

Same, just can’t help myself

In F4 it's a mandatory perk... unless you are completely ignoring Settlement building. Looking at my hours played on Steam stats, I can say for certain that 1/3 of that time is me walking to a settlement area with a crap-ton of goodies I'm going to scrap. I get so much crap from every follower/companion about my hoarding (except ADA) MacReady seems to get the most annoyed about it.

Oh God your pfp is really annoying me. It's like when you put that blue thing over text by holding down your right cursor.

That’s fallout new Vegas

@@dungeonmaster201 and?

Hell I remember reading up about the pimp boy and thought it was fake or a mod. And me being a console user didn't look into it much

I feel this so much right now bud with my wife kicking me out and wanted a divorce because of another man and MATN is the only RU-vidr I’ve been able to watch to make me feel better I appreciate you being able to help bring that out Waxkaz you’re a real mvp for that

@@JknAvenger I've been watching MATN since 2016 he has gotten me through some hard times as well.

@@andrewsmith8715 I started watching his series in 2015, when I had a long stint in the hospital. From his challenge runs all the way into the first FO4 playthrough (I basically learned how to play the game watching his first series on it).

@@cartermariano I’m so thankful for MATN and thankful that I’m not alone in what I’m going through

I'm sorry you (and The gaming wanderer) are having such difficult times right now.. Jon's ability to make me smile when everything sucks is truly unparalleled. I've watched a lot of RU-vidrs and he's consistently the best for rough days. I hope things look up a bit for y'all soon.

PS4 has a similar bug. I've had the dates of my saves scrambled a few times. It likes to think it's 1968.

@@christopherconard2831 how?! I'm not that good at under the hood stuff but I've heard that most modern computers* don't go before 1-1-1970 so how did yours get 1968?

@@mirjanbouma Playstation had a weird bug recently with marking people's Chrono Cross license at 12/31/1969. Maybe it's a similar error?

I did exactly this, didn't follow the road and glitched into new Vegas early. Got hated by the NCR cause i didn't get it and never met the Legion once, did everything with Mr House, then killed him for Yes Man and ended the game... Can you believe I thought it was a bad game after that? I still feel dumb over this. I never bought a single gun (as in Fallout 3 everything good is found) never did any DLC, nothing, totally short changed myself for years.

I honestly feel you on your flowchart remark. In all of my playthroughs of NV, I inevitably give up on exploration because I just don't find anything really interesting (and not just in the way of items or weapons, the environment and locations tended to feel bland to me in comparison to the main tour). Additionally, though I haven't seen this come up, I also found that my cross country explorations had the unfortunate issue of being interrupted by oddly placed invisible walls every now and then--I could be crossing what feels like a sensible path that gets me to my destination and then--BAM! Invisible wall that forces me to go the long way around. I don't remember the name of the quest off the top of my head, but it was the one at Bitter Springs where you had to search nearby caves and I just recall finding a nice logical route that led me around the top of the hills only to encounter a wall that forced me down to the lower areas where I had to take so many detours (essentially go the way the devs wanted me to, it seemed). And the funny thing is, I never ran into the 'edge of the world' in Fallout 3 or 4; I was too busy running around the central areas.

@@BananaMana69 How did you do House/Yes Man without meeting the legion? You have to go to The Fort to get into the securitron bunker which is the first thing House tells you to do, you literally have to speak to Caeser as part of that quest

You can do the Yes Man playthrough (although he gets progressively more passive-agressive about upgrading the Fort securitrons) without ever stepping foot in the Fort.

@@StalkingYouMate I guess that was all I did then, i seriously don't remember doing anything with the legion, but i do remember releasing Mr House from his pod thing so I must have just met him the one time i guess. I was dumb, i wanted the fiends and Khans to be just raiders like Fallout 3 and i never realised I could just make them hate me lol. The last thing i remember was going to Jacobstown to get a unique super sledge cause i was still playing like it was Fallout 3 lol. I hated the game cause the NCR hated me and i didnt know I could side with the legion lol. Sorry for subjecting you to my stupidity. Im about ready to start a real playthrough all these years later tho after beating Fallout 1 and 2.

Me too. What a great article, rip useful blogs.

A kotaku article about him finishing the main quest in yolo brought me here. not sure if it was the first one

I don't know which one was the first one, but I remember discovering the channel from an article about the no-kill New Vegas run. I think at the time I was looking for games that could be played as a pacifist (either by design or as a self-imposed challenge).

Ah yes,possibly the ONE time in it's history that Kotaku ever did _ANYTHING_ noteworthy and of value.... it brought us HERE.

I figured out maybe several hours in that Speech was OP for netting XP and doing less-lethal resolutions, and thusly made every other character roll with a high level of Skill. Even my current one, haha.

SAME

best comment on here lol😂

It's definately bits!

yeah, that's definitely what I thought was the end of the game at the beginning of my first playthrough tbh

Laughing in sympathy here! I got to the 20s, Level-wise, on some of my first characters without using a single Perk. Just dumped the points into upgrading the SPECIAL levels. Wild, eh?

Same! And not with just Fallout, with any game I still own 10+ years later

If you were going to invest 10k what would you do

@@JoshuaKevinPerry Start a show where you burn 10k in cash as the finale and sell 1000 tickets at £20 each.

Wow, _F4_ was your intro! For reasons that I'll likely never recover, I had the game on the PS4 and _intentionally deleted_ my whole profile, a few times! Game saves, captures, the whole shebang. I just remember that my all-time greatest was a Level 81, around 264 hours played, all DLCs passed, main story passed, and the final image was me in the Nuka edition X-01 Power Armor in the Glowing Sea. Remember that vividly.

Fo3 was my first fallout game, second game ever played (1st was original assassins creed), so I did *not* understand how stats worked, how perks worked, nothing. I've recently pulled my 360 out of storage to put it in different storage, but im considering hooking it up and finding out just how bad my characters actually were.
