The Engineer Family is one of the most important in the entire Team Fortress timeline. From Radigan's creation of the immortality machines, to Fred's support in the classic mercenaries, and finally to Dell and his fight in the current war. This family, behind the scenes, helped sinister characters behind the scenes keep this battle going.
How was the Conagher family brought into The Gravel War? Why did they help the ridiculous request of a mad man, and what role did they play in these conflicts? In this video, we explore the lore and story behind The Engineer in Team Fortress.

@secondheaven9545 8 месяцев назад

Heavy is pretty fleshed out as well. He grew up in a gulag and he values his remaining family, has a phd, and has a particular disdain for communists that came from his experience in the gulag. Scout isn’t that deep, but is absolutely hilarious. Scout is fleshed out as literally being God’s gift to women. I am not joking in the slightest. When scout died, God vowed to destroy the world because every woman on Earth hadn’t done it with scout, but he convinces him to give them a second chance and revives himself to bed every woman on Earth

16:54 Small correction here, Dell didn't create the Widowmaker or the Eureka Effect. In the Manno-Technology Bundle update page, there is a missive from Saxton Hale's assistant Bidwell explaining how he stole the Widowmaker, or at least the technology behind it, from Sarif Industries, the company in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which the bundle was a crossover with. The Machina, Diamondback, and the Short Circuit were also made using the stolen technology. The Eureka Effect came from a Dr. Grordbort Rocket that crashed into Dell's house in the comic True Meaning. That rocket was also where the Pomson 6000, the Phlogistinator, the Manmelter, and the Third Degree came from. Another of the rockets crashed near Solider and from it he got the Cow Mangler and the Righteous Bison. Finally, Dell might not have made the Jag, either. That weapon came out in the 2010 Australian Christmas update, and it is heavily implied that all the weapons and hats in that update were made for Old Nick by his kidnapped child workers, and that Nick is simply selling the duplicates online.

23:54 There had been the supposed release of the original last comic’s script. In it, one section claimed Spy had managed to get Fred out of the way without killing him, possibly sapping his legs, before going after the Classic Sniper. He ends up later uniting with his son in that likely fanfic/maybe truth.

@soundwave8475 10 месяцев назад

12:18 The TFC Sentry Gun (Fred's) also had to be completely dismantled and rebuilt somewhere else, unlike the TF2 Sentry which can be moved and redeployed Although this stipulation also applied to the TF2 Sentry gun until Valve decided to allow the building to be moved instead of rebuilt

@DefenderTerrarian 10 месяцев назад

I've never played Team Fortress, I honestly never knew it had so much lore. I shouldn't be surprised after Half Life and Portal. Honestly, I find it hard to believe that Dell was okay with his Grandfather's grave being desecrated. I also feel like Fred would have been hesitant to fight his own son, regardless of how close in proximity. However, I know absolutely nothing about Team Fortress, so it may just be a case of ignorance.

To me, the engineer rewarded those who learned the maps of the game. Learn where you can build sentries in weird spots and know which spots to sentry jump from. know flanks to set up teles behind enemy lines or cut of flanking spies/pyros/scouts. This becomes even more rewarding after you find an out of map exploit, the ultimate map knowledge possible for the engineer.

@@donpollo3154 Based on what the comics show, the Mann brothers employed other Engineers other than the Conaghers of their respective generations. It's possible that Fred is a completely different person and took Dell's father's place as the TFC's Engineer, like how Modern Medic replaced Classic Medic. Other than that, Fred looks too different from Dell and Radigan and the TFC Engineer in the Catch-up comics, even if you take aging into account.

@manofbree6739 5 месяцев назад

It's a "Team Fortress" Everyone do have a role supporting each other. Aside from Pyro, Engineer also need supports from the other classes. Medic's overheal makes him able to get out of a hotspot and take more damage. Heavy acts as a forward tank, taking a shot instead of Engineer's sentry. The power class like soldiers help securing a ground for an Engineer to set up a base.
