The Tragic Lore of Fallout’s New California Republic 

I’ve been up for like 30 hours haha. I’ll see ya gremlins tomorrow when I wake up to check the comments 👈👈😎

"If the legion breaks through our defenses, I've got one bullet I'm saving just for me" - Every other NCR Trooper

Considering how suicidal most of the NCR soldier were during the battle of Hoover dam, I'm surprised they survived that long

"Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter" -every NCR patrolman ever

“There is no future in the Bear or Bull. The Bear is diseased, barely clings to life. And the Bull… when the Legion reaches the sea, it will turn on itself and die. Killing one will end both.”

using phrases like " records on the subject are murky, all we know is that there's a second Battle of Hoover dam" etc. It's just really great because it keeps the immersion going and makes it feel like you're watching a documentary while still keeping the ambiguous player chosen stuff about the lore up to the viewer of the video / player. It's a really creative and stylish way of writing that I always look forward two for these videos. Keep up the great work, looking forward to more :)

I need to make this clear, this is by far the best fallout lore video ever made. I truly believe this, you really outdone yourself Nate. Telling it like it’s actual history is perfect and the editing is perfect. I hope to see more videos like this. Keep up the great work.

Bro is makin movies now, the videos were long but the intro and whole animation style is absolutely amazing, props

I recently played Fallouts 1 and 2 for the first time and they really enhance New Vegas. It's one thing to know the lore of the NCR but it's another thing to be in Shady Sands and in the other settlements and see how the future nation grew little by little. It's pretty surreal that the NCR arose from an isolated farming community and settlements like Junktown, The Hub and the LA Boneyard which had all of these internal problems but were able to overcome them

Kimball showing us once again what is so prevalent through history and fiction: Great military leaders don't necessarily make for good statesmen.

One head may be struck down, but the other will bite and fight until the end. The NCR shall not fade quietly into the night.

Fantastically done. The allegory of American politics, is laid out as simply as anyone could ask, and a modestly excellent primer for the Fallout show season 2. Excellent. I'm proud of your work here, and thankful for the many hours of free Skyrim and Fallout lore content that preceded it. Keeping myself and other's thinking of our favourite fantasy on lonely nights, and revealing secrets otherwise not connected. It may be a bit much, but truly a magnum so far.

ITS NATE HES FUCKEN BACK LETS GOOOO

Wow I’ve been looking everyday for a new video and it’s finally here! And a banger as always🙏🏼

Thanks for giving me something to listen to at work!!!! Love the videos!!!

Your videos are usually great but this one felt like you turned things up to 11! The intro in particular was very cool and felt well polished ❤

Let’s all give Nate a huge round of applause for the amazing performance over these great couple of years! Thanks so much for all of the great content and entertainment! 🎉

All the jet in fallout couldn’t keep me up for 30 hours. You’re a dedicated artist.

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish a new TheEpicNate video. This is not meant to be a hate comment this is meant to be a parody of the meme "patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter".

Been waiting for a video like this after the show ! Great job Nate thanks for staying up bro !

This was so interesting to watch! Loved how you explored fallout lore.

damn man you been putting in work on these recent videos. loving the hustle but dont burn yourself out bro!

Dude this video quality is insanely good, keep up the work nate, cannot wait to see what you come up with in the future!

Oh, man! Nate put up something new so now I have to watch this... thanks a bunch!!!

Well done Nate. This is awesome. I love deep lore dives like this. Great work by everyone 👍👍

YEAHH BOI damn dude your production quality has gone crazy great job

so glad you made a vid like this i’ve been needing a full ncr docuvid to show my friends who’ve never played fallout why the show had me genuinely tweaking

Thank you for all your hard work Nate .

Thank you so much! Been waiting all week

Somehow, this video seems particularly timely considering the state of things in a certain location.

Right as I get off work, this is amazing.

Another day another banger fallout video from Nate!

Loved that so very much great work Nate

Great to see you upload again Nate. Hope all is well.

It is always a good day when a new video comes out on nates channel

“I’ve got one bullet I’m saving just for me”

An excellent video, well done!

The courier had something to say about the whole Hoover Dam situation. And what he did, who knows.

It's a good day any day Epic Nate drops a vid. Much love and appreciation my guy.

New fallout lore video to fall asleep to on a Friday? Is it Christmas already🤩

Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing. Great work.💯👍👍

Doing this in the context of a historical documentary is just perfect.

Learning more about President Kimball makes me feel not so bad for murdering him in so many playthroughs tbh lmao

Holy crap, man. This video is on another level. Well done.

I love your videos, so calming

Hey Nate it’s guys here. Love receiving new videos from you 👍

I needed this right now ! Thank you

Long time fan of your Elder Scrolls work ☺and just barely got into Fallout 😊I love listening to your videos, because you can tell how much work you put into them!

my man. thanks for uploading me and my friends were just talking about your vids a while ago

Perfect to listen to while I work away, thanks again Nate.

Great job

Brilliant work!

THE NCR FLAG WILL NEVER FALL ‼️‼️‼️

Thank you for what you do, Nate. 🖖

Man this video is great!!

Great video!

I appreciate this one nate

...and when humanity needed him most, Nate returned.

I always love seeing a new nate video!

I AM EXCITE! How is it that like 10 years later I am still learning and loving these?

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish you save one bullet just for yourself, you can count on that

Absolutely brilliant work Nate. Insane how the views aren’t at least 4x higher

That felt like the longest 6 days ever😂 Love the content

This really helped clear up a few things for me, specifically why the NCR cared so desperately about gold mining in Redding in Fallout 2. I know there's a whole campaign in Redding, and that the NCR wanted access to the mines but I didn't internalize that NCR had moved to the gold standard.

yay new video this day just got a whole lot better

And now they make self checkout machines at Walmart. Woooow.

I love your videos so much.

That was fantastic, Nate! The later portions could use some editing- I know you probably can't show stuff from the Amazon show, but during the portions explaining the events of the show, having some B-roll footage instead of just the Caesar throne would probably help a little- I honestly thought the video on my tablet was fouled up for some reason. But the research here, the enormous amount of detail and the obvious love for the material... edits aside, this is probably the best video you've done yet. Loved every minute, thank you!

Nate sometimes confuses east and west when referring to directions here, but given he also includes physical locations on a map, it's fine! A minor error in an otherwise excellent summary of the faction's history so far.

Thank you for this cohesive history lesson...now it all makes sense 😉☺️👍!

Whenever he post a vid you know it's a good day

The music from the intro is " The West Will Never Fall " from Kaiser Cat Cinema. Located at the link listed for any of those interested in the song. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CJSlUQ7XP8I.htmlsi=1SjL9n_F_YSX-7t8

Nate, Nate never changes. Always top tier content!

Great video

You should do a Brotherhood of Steel video like this one! Love it!

From the game FNV itself tells us about the NCR, it was not doing good back home, to the point the NCR losing at Hoover Dam would in my opinion do the NCR more good in the long run then a victory.

I love how this video is exactly <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="73">1:13</a>:23 and not a second longer. That was the perfect time to stop the video, good call Nate. 👏

I think you meant to say 2150s instead of 2050s when referencing the master and what he did

This has been a fantastic year for Nate vids

Got a 12 hour shift at work and i find this gem to pass the first hour 20 of the shift.

i feel like i havent seen nate in forever. i was just thinking ab this channel the other night and thinking ab how much i missed watching

YYESS. THANK YOU. i can now sleep soundly again

Okay, that intro was badass

Patrolling the youtube recommended almost makes you wish for an EpicNate history video.

Great video, honestly, I can tell you really put a lot of work into various aspects, but... Some constructive criticisms that I'll probably get some shit for, lol: You mixed up "2050's" with "2150's" multiple times early on when discussing Fallout 1 and the Master. Also, I am almost 100% certain that House didn't know the day the bombs would drop. It was just bad timing/bad luck that the Platinum Chip was due to arrive on October 24th and the bombs hit on the 23rd. House didn't know the bombs would drop on the 23rd; he did know they would inevitably be coming sooner rather than later though. If he did know, I don't think he'd have risked the Platinum Chip arriving anywhere near the 23rd. That'd be incredibly out-of-character for him. He was as blindsided as most everyone else. Also, more than "a bomb or two" made it through House's defenses. Even a cursory Google search can confirm it was 9 warheads. This is easily accessible information that I'm a little surprised you didn't do your homework on. I've noticed details like this get glossed over in some of your videos, but, this is a very easy one to check, unless you deliberately kept it vague as part of the storytelling. House was also in a coma for several decades after the Great War and not necessarily spending all 200 years combing the wasteland for the Platinum Chip as implied in the video around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="60">1:00</a>:00. I imagine the higher-than-normal amount of dislikes is over missed details like this. I think the script for this video needed another pass through. The last ten minutes consisting of a few mostly static images also makes it feel like the ending/script was rushed to hit a deadline. Also, the NCR may still exist minus Shady Sands. I think jumping to the conclusion that they're totally wiped out is a tad premature? I know it's nearly an hour and a half, but, quality and all that. Despite the length of this comment, trust me, you did well. There's also a few incidents of east/west being mixed up, but, that's more minor to me than the other stuff. Just some notes I'm making as I listen. Good video otherwise, I know it's quite the endeavor and I don't mean this as hate.

EpicNate dropped a feature length NCR video. Didn't know I was getting wrecked tonight.

"That's a story for another day..." Makes me nostalgic.

This gonna be a banger

WOOHOO new nate video to fall asleep too 🙏🙏 AND it's on my favorite fallout faction let's goooo

Top class video.

Nate your awesome truly one of the best Bethesda/fallout RU-vidrs

Damn, here real early. Nice.

i didnt know u left but lets goooo

This is the GOAT 🐐 of Fallout Channels and Nate is Epic 🤘🏻😂

Thanks for taking the time to break down such a lengthy subject! I wish this video existed back when the show came out for the new fans 😅 but it's here now, and you all did a great job

can you post a mod list on what your using for visual mods? I love the way your game shots look. I wanna do a run with these visuals.

Awesome work man. Appreciate the work you put into these videos.

I love your content

ncr ending in new Vegas seems to be more cannon bc the extinction of the bos nevada and the preservation of the bombers makes sense for a war against mr house, but so does caesars legion

Damn, I always forget how much lore there is about the NCR, almost makes me want to play it again.
