The Curious Case of Fallout's Last President 

You casually used sus.

Hey, a game sponsor that actually seems cool 🫵

My theory with that convoy is the president (or body double possibly?) got a warning that nuclear bombs were on the way and got an emergency airlift with just enough room to fit everyone but the poor limousine driver.

I bet the body near the limousine is the newly elected president Di, the one impeached for jaywalking and hiding for months probably to hide from threats. And the previous president and Enclave member being Bagman still giving orders like he is still president. The newspaper thinking the president is at the oil rig is probably due to members of the Enclave considering and treating the former president as the real president, which is why he was able to give orders despite Di being the elected president. The Enclave are the type to subvert the whole government considering their past actions.

can you please make a starfield 10 evil choices video, your videos for f4 and skyrim are the main reason i got so invested in those games

God bless America.. And no one else.

I love the radio message about how he might have not been voted into office, and his response was "trust me bro"

God Bless

Too bad he's a dirty machine

No you're wrong. President Dave is the President of my Heart.

With the existence of people like Josh from "Let's Game it Out" and other dataminers, you'd think they wouldn't include it right away and would be going through it with a fine toothed comb to make sure things that shouldn't be there weren't there.

@@OktoberVanderslice nah, jokes are funny.

Not necessarily, your life is a joke and it's just mainly really sad​ @jcraigie

@@Notjustakid2007 LMAO. Do you have an answer for my original question? You're boring otherwise.

I think it works better that way tbh

That works. nice symbolism.

It’s very appropriate but I wish we’d have the lore that would have inevitably been found inside

​@alexbrown9622 I'd have loved a half destroyed bunker there or under the pentagon

tbf why *wouldnt* Vault Tec drop it there

It is great.

This comment for number 1. let's send it to the top!

I actually missed the information because the picture distracted me.

it’s the cutest damn doodle 10/10

It better stay 😂

Perhaps a reference to the Lord Rothchild than the PM of UK.

I have a feeling the president was never even going to meet him there, and it was all just bait

I wonder if FOLON Team factored this in, when worldbuilding for Fallout: London...

If the UK was still a major power and assuming that both the UK and Canada still have the monarchy wouldn't the UK be super angry at the US annexation of Canada could they realistically do anything about it? No, additionally the implication that the UK is a sovran entity outside the European Commonwealth could imply that Brexit is cannon in the fallout universe

​@@thebrittaniondragon6183 Actually, the fallout 1 intro states *"the European Commonwealth would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation-states, bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth."* So it's possible the UK was part of the EC until the end, however by 2077 the EC has disbanded and thus would be back to individual sovereign entities

the entire east of coast of Virginia, especially closer to the south near the mouth of the Chesapeake bay would be a perfect spot for a fallout game. NASA, Langley, the naval weapons station, the Atlantic fleet headquarters, Oceania, old Yorktown, the battlefield, the shipyard. it is one of the most defended and staffed areas of the United states, and would definitely be a perfect fallout location.

Mount Weather makes more sense

@@guytech7310 mount weather is a single isolated broadcasting station, Norfolk and the surrounding townships are full of military bases from all different branches.

@@shaunt.r.w7902 fort belvoir, Washington's homestead in Mount vernon. Jamestown. Lots of potential sites for another game.

@@shaunt.r.w7902 I believe there is much more to Mt weather than a simple telecom site From OSINT: "The Mount Weather Special Facility is a Continuity of Government (COG) facility operated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The 200,000 square foot facility also houses FEMA’s National Emergency Coordinating Center. " "Army Corps of Engineers completed the “Area B” underground complex in 1958-1959. Total construction costs, adjusted for inflation, are estimated to have exceeded $1 billion. " "lthough the facility is designed to accomodate several thousand people (with sleeping cots for 2,000), only the President, the Cabinet, and Supreme Court are provided private sleeping quarters." "The underground bunker includes a hospital, crematorium, dining and recreation areas, sleeping quarters, reservoirs of drinking and cooling water, an emergency power plant, and a radio and television studio which is part of the Emergency Braodcasting System. A series of side-tunnels accomodate a total of 20 office buildings, some of which are three stories tall. " Mt Weather is also between WV and Camp Rapidian.

Yep this is my takeaway as well. My only further takeaway is that Bagman was probably someone very high in power in the standard government as well. I think he is likely the VP and as you said chosen leader of the Enclave. The president being killed would also give him nuclear authority and make him both the Enclave and American President upon his successful Coup which would tie up that potential loose end. His name also suggests he "brings the money" as "Bagman". So he is ether a paid off corrupt official or a very powerful businessman who also has political power.

Isn't that basically confirmed? The Enclave slowly took hold of the U.S. Government in the years leading up to 2077.

The secretary of the treasury would be bag man and Zeus would be the president

But people like Eddie Winter found out about the bombs ahead of time because of contacts. There's no way the actual president would have been completely clueless.

The VP never got where he was going though, according to the messages in whitesprings. Makes me consider him

Highly doubt they would transport the nuclear football in just a limo.

I think Zeus was pres and bagman was vp?

​@ltdbob the limo had a military escort and is simply carried by a White House aide. Which is more than can be said about the time President Clinton left the aide holding the football behind at a NATO summit and the aide had to walk back to the White House. Or the time President Ford's aides lost the nuclear football at a summit in Paris. Or the time Clinton lost the codes to use the nuclear football for months.

​@@elysiankentarchy1531 How did that happen? Aren't the codes normally inside the football anyway?

​@@twistedyogert That's the nuclear biscuit. It's a different item.

There already is the enclave quest line?

​@@ComradeMercylike a revamped one not the base game story one

"A stem will fix it! I'm not in denial!!!" - that soldier clearly in over his / her head.

I don't think they'd intentionally go this dark but... assassination... missing head... someone trying to fix the missing head...

JFK reference maybe?

The sniper could have only wounded the target at first and then made a follow-up shot after the guy with the stimpak was taken care of, perhaps.

@@BinkDeadpool my thoughts exactly

Yeah, my immediate thought too. It would be a hell of a lore twist!

Bumping in case this turns out to be true

Zeus huh.. I guess Olympus has fallen

Now that you say that, it absolutely must be what is being referenced.

Harold was a descendant of ozzy

😂😂😂

I can feel him judging me

lol right? “V Pres” is pretty clearly vice president and not a second message to the president.

yeah, it clearly says "Pres" and "V Pres" I had to rewatch that part a few times trying to figure out where it said Pres a 2nd time until I figured it out.

Especially with the black briefcase next to his skeleton. Presidents usually have the nuclear briefcase handcuffed to their wrist in war tv shows

@@swiftfated Not handcuffed. It’s carried by an aide who is always nearby at all times.

I think Zeus was pres and bagman was vp?

Edit: I take it back, the Vice President is also given a nuclear football and biscuit, to be used if something happens to the President. So it is possible VP Bagman had the President shot and then had to use the nukes. But we haven't received much of any indication before now of that and that is an extremely small window. The problem with that is that Bagman sends the launch orders and codes, something he would need both the nuclear football and the nuclear biscuit for. And the biscuit is kept on the President's person at all times. Of course that is presuming it is the actual nuclear football and not a fake that was swapped in by Bagman. But even then the executive order would be coming from the president, not the VP and the terminals would be giving the President's name not the VP's.

the president is at control station enclave it cant be him.

😂😂

Men of Wo

Woe man

Goddamn Wömen

Even the Yes Man is baffled.

This is my view. Bagman can be slang for a corrupt politician who takes bribes, such as one working with the Enclave. Zeus would more than likely be the President (White House has been codenamed Olympus by presidential security). My theory is the President knew nothing about the Enclave, and was a patsy while VP was the true power broker.

​@Cthulhuvong or in classic Enclave fashion the VP turned on thr President because he wanted power or they disagreed about something remember Autumn vs Eden in the Capital Wasteland

@@Cthulhuvongwait isn’t this all like Zootopia’s plot

Did you ever talk to the vice president in fallout 2? His stat sheet must have featured 1 intelligence. 😂 I dont think he was capable of anything besides walking and breathing. Look up a video of his conversations with the chosen one.

@@brianm.595 fallout 2 is in 2241

That’s a quote from Norman Osborne, Harold Osborne is his son.

Probably work they've done for another upcoming update or cut content. Hopefully we'll get it along with the rest of the Whitesprings bunker for some Modus DLC. 🙏🏼

I just commented wondering if anyone noticed 😂😂

Seems to point to Zeus was VP as the president made it to PR. the message to VP was never acknowledged.

Then why would he be escorted by the military? ZEUS is most likely a government official, wich one is the question tho

@@maxence2915 Being a businessman and being a government official aren't mutually exclusive. Look at how many irl American politicians either own or have shares in large companies. Their last president is the perfect example

I think you are on the right track but not 100% there. My take is this, gonna lay it out as bullet points that are not in fully order; this will be a bit ramble. Apologies for my yapping in advance. Bagman - suggesting the man who brings the money is more likely to be that CEO/Major power. - Agreed makes total sense. Likely is the person behind Poseidon Energy and maybe even has hands in Vault-Tec as well. Bagman gets elected as the Chosen President of the Enclave in the new world and proceeds to clean up any messes in his way (the standing president being the biggest one) This makes him the first president of the enclave but not the president of the US as he is still alive. The Whitehouse codename is Olympus - Which would suggest anyone using codename Zeus has to be the president. Bagman likely was also a high ranking official in the standard government. I believe he was the VP. Bagman uses his authority to set up the coup d'etat by putting people in places to ensure anyone who could or would likely stand against him or were in his way were killed. He needed the president dead before the bombs dropped as it would mean that nuclear authority would automatically pass to him. This resolves the issue above also that his is now president of both the enclave and US upon the successful coup.

​@finalfantasymad I wonder if Bagman was the guy that was behind the glass in the fallout show during the vault tech meeting

​@maxence2915 Academi: "Allow us to introduce ourselves." But seriously. If this corpo is as big as we are lead to believe, it isn't unlikely they just hire a PMC for protection. Although I agree that it's more likely to be the President.

Wish you well, love the avatar ❤️

Tell the nurse your nauseous, tell them Phenergan is the only thing that works for you, and have them push it through your port. Then you can sleep through it.

I’m proud of you!

@@AshleyWilliamsN7Jesus don’t tell them that. Phenagran allergic reactions are severe. I have it. Unless you KNOW person is okay with the med, telling them to push it could kill them.

@@katrose5179 If your on chemo, you know if you have that allergy because the zofran they start with doesn't do anything to help.

Oh he actually brought it up. That's what I get for commenting 10 minutes into the hour long video...

I love how in the games, most of the buildings that have the statues and the surrounding buildings too are granted protection from the bombs that caused the destruction

Survivor basis. You simply wouldn't see the destroyed ones.​@@elijahfriesen8111

They just like some good head ;) xD

Canadian ghouls perhaps?

Mutated Canadian Geese are an absolutely horrifying thought! Those things are vicious enough already!

Snowy fallout game sounds great

@@user-le6in9nf8l "Oh you smoothskins dn't have much issues with radiaton eh"

Next theory Video? WHO is Zeus?

is either him or The vice president

@@omegavalwin Why did the V. President not reply?

@@lostbutfreesoul cuz they were after him. clearly he could not trust them

@@lostbutfreesoul Uh-- cuz he got his Brains blown out by a Sniper and the Enclave didn't trust him?

Clearly not that hard, if they don't read the actual text, to see that *it is clearly marked that the "No confirmation" warning message was sent to the vice president* and then proceeds to make a completely incorrect speculation, predicated on not actually reading the terminal.

Thanks Mantis-man!!!

He be watching for the perfect time to activate "the feature"

Just keeping an eye on you. Just in case. 😀

Been feeling nostalgic for mittensquad lately... I'm doing a playthrough of FO4 named Paul in his honor.

Given the connection between the faces on all the buildings and the Lovecraftian conspiracies, my theory is that Vault-tec learnt that Dunwich Borers were trying to turn the whole of the US into a replica of the cities that once served the eldritch horrors. Vault-tec dropped the bombs to stop them. The stuff in the TV show is just them looking for potential backers without giving away what they know

I was thinking that the mystery man watching over the meeting was the leader of the Enclave/current US President

​@@brdg00d1ngsame, Vault Tec and the Enclave were intertwined, it would make sense for an Enclave agent to influence them

I know it’s a way off, but my thinking is that this content is meant for release to coincide with season 2..

It could be a vault where they believe they are being sent to work on a new world order. Vault tec is really trying to make the best leader combining the strengths of all of them through psych testing before killing them all and transferring their personalities into a holotape that would be sent to the Enclave for upload as a new perfect leader. But then they figure it out and end up trying to eliminate each other to ensure they become the next leader. you can find all but one leader's bodies in the vault deceased. Later you either find that leader : as a ghoul, in a holotape as an AI, or as a synth (and you find out you are the synth)

I honestly think it's a reference to Lee Harvey Oswald, the guy who killed JFK.

That was my first thought too, but I'm not sure what exactly it would be referencing, other than the two having the same name

Devs already says it's not true

​@@YuhNinjawhere? I haven't been able to find anything official on it, only fan theories discussing it. And even if the devs did say that, I'd still want a video discussing the theory from him, just for the fun of the theory itself

Synths were made from the sole survivors DNA though. Father couldn’t have created the synths without having a biological father. Even if the player was a synth, they would be modeled after a real prewar human who once lived and wouldn’t really change anything

Why would the Sole Survivor be called the back up for Shaun’s role (Institute uses the not irradiated DNA to make 3rd gen synths), if the Sole Survivor was not only a synth but a 3rd gen that relies on Shaun’s DNA? Why doesn’t any institute records or personnel say, oh hey, your that synth we put in the crypod and we made in Father’s (Shaun’s) father’s appearance? Conversely why does everyone act like they are meeting you for the first time and treated the Sole Survivor like a human and not a machine at the Institute the Sole Survivor was a synth? Why does Shaun tell you that he unfroze the Sole Survivor and wanted to see how the Sole Survivor did in the wasteland and if they can find him, if the sole survivor was a synth that is made from his DNA and made in the institute?

It has been repeatedly confirmed the PC is not a synth in the game's cannon. You can headcannon to be whatever you'd like.
