The "Bad Guys" of Fallout 

Worth pointing out that The Master isn't as smart as he thinks. He's the one who tells you about his "incredible intellectual abilities". A lot of players make that mistake and don't realize that The Master is an unreliable narrator of his own story. In my playthrough I demonstrated to him that his experiment was a failure, that the super mutants were sterile. He then realized how crazy he had become and video gamed himself. He wasn't a "super intellect"; he was experiencing megalomania and psychosis that made him THINK he was incredibly smart.

Master was baffled about his super mutants being sterile. But there was no female super mutant. Even if they weren't sterile, what was his plan?

exposure to radiation was literally the opposite of key for successful super mutants those who had damaged genetics via radiation exposure were inferior to "prime normal" derived super mutants that's why one of the masters main goals was to find and conquer vaults

You know... That thumbnail made something occur to me. The brotherhood really should have been the villains of fallout 3. Think about it. Their ideology is specifically anti mutant. Even non-feral ghouls. They just gun them down. But the enclave, for all their many, many, many flaws, weren't anti mutant. I mean they shreked Frank Horrigan, specifically to make him a better killing machine. They were exposed to radiation massively out at the rig. And were actively experimenting with FEV to use it on themselves. They were monsters, sure. But why would they want to secretly genocide a large portion of Washington state. They were mutated themselves. They wanted control, and wanting the purifier, sure. That's logical. That's a great bargaining chip to exert political soft power. But they'd gain nothing from it being tainted. They'd only be weakening it's potential as a bargaining chip. Now the brotherhood. Them poisoning the purifier. That makes sense. "Normal" people can still use it. But anyone mutated getting sick or dying off, that's entirely within their logic. Even within Bethesda Lore. They doomed Rivet city to rip its reactor for The Prydwen. They are more than capable of relying on military strength or savagery to achieve their goals. And they despise mutants. Basically every interaction with the Enclave in F3 could have been named swapped to the brotherhood. And it would have actually improved the story. The "evil" choice of siding with the brotherhood in those circumstances also wouldn't be so clear cut and direct. Like yea, you'd be committing a genocide. Those are bad, you shouldn't do those. But have you seen it out there? Genetic monstrosities roam the land and prey on the people. Sure a lot of people would die. But how many more in the long run are gonna be kidnapped by super mutants. how many more are gonna be devoured alive by giant ants? You'd be doing something monstrous. But how many more would live because of your actions? How many more lives could grow up in relative safety. Due to you flipping a switch? You could argue either action is monstrous. Each condemns hundreds to death. Thousands maybe. Either passively, allowing the wasteland to continue preying on the weak, the helpless for the benefit of the brutal the cunning. Or actively, by sabotaging Project purity. You would condemn thousands to potentially save countless more. And that's a far more interesting choice.

Trouble with deciding an antagonist for 76 is the man responsible for the scorched plague, Eckhart, is already dead and screwing up Appalachia from beyond the grave.

In the fallout games that give you options for endings, the evil character is like Benny or Kellogg, their not really evil but the plays courier hates them for something, so the NCR and legion in NV are not evil because it’s the players pov

Just like in real life when I play fallout everyone breathing and not bleeding is my antagonist

Since "antagonist" means "person, group, or force that works against the protagonist" rather than "bad guy," and because the player chooses their main antagonist in many Fallout games, y'all prolly should have covered the NCR too.

Ulysses suffer so much from his past I spare him he doesn’t deserve to die

Love Mr Lunar and Mrs Lunar voice work 🤌🏽 Great video so far

New name? Good vid as always can't wait for more keep it up

Good stuff I was looking for you guys

In my mind the courier is a villian himself With his hopeville track record and his ultimate decisions for the independent vegas

I'm going to say this. I would've liked Fallout 3's plot a lot better if we had the choice to join the Brotherhood of Steel, have our own "Yes Man" style of nuking everyone so to speak, joining "President" Eden, or siding with Colonel Autumn and aiding him in his goals, which would lead to him being the next President and you being his right hand man. Even though Autumn opposed Eden, he wasn't written in an way that I would've believed he wanted to be altruistic. I saw him as an arrogant jerk that was more than willing to murder anyone that got in his way. He didn't attempt to negotiate with us and form a treaty. Everything was "Do it my way or die". It would've been better to have actually seen the dichotomy between Autumn and Eden play out and for you to help decide whom leads the Enclave. Could've been an interesting plot point to either "retake the purifier" from the Enclave or to "defend the purifier" from the Brotherhood and either destroy or take control of Liberty Prime.

Excellent Video overall! Definitely gained a Sub thanks

The back and forth between male and female voices is gr8 for retention

Great video!

can you do Fallout Tactics and Fallout Brotherhood of Steel

We need more Mrs lunar 🎉

Who's Benny? Are you talking about chandler bing?

I mean Vault tech is right there...

So we just gonna ignore doctor blackburn?

I would love to see something like this for the elder scrolls!

You left out Mr Burke from FO3. At the start he takes out a contract to kill you if you don't nuke Megaton.

You forgot about Father Elijah from the Dead Money DLC

I hated listening to Ulysses monologue all day but nuking the NCR was ganagster asfuck

I stand with the supporting Mr house being the canon ending but the series says otherwise

The Only good guys in Fallout 4 is the minutmen and the institute once you take over as the director.

in the case of fallout 76, the main antagonist is bethesda heyooooo great video, by the way _!!_

The real antagonist of 76 is Bethesda.

Fallout 76 sucks it's not a real Fallout game because it's not single player plain and simple
