The Full Story of Fallout 1 Part 2: Vault 15 - An Experiment of Ideology and the Birth of Raiders 

The NCR and Great Khans' origins being in the same vault is insane, putting Bitter Springs - and the Courier's efforts to negotiate that the Khans fight against the Legion - into a whole new light

Difficult to envision how Shady Sands, a village settlement with a few concrete bunker-shaped houses, became the capital and most populated city in the NCR and the entire known world.

Idea for episode specific T-shirt inscription; "May the water you find in the desert, not shine at you in the dark."

The amount of detail in this game is incredible.

The Khans weren´t that big of a deal before they became Great.

Am I the only one who thinks Tandi has a great voice?

The guy who voices Aradesh is Tony Shalhoub who is best known for playing Adrian Monk from the show Monk.

20:44 "He has 80HP" My nephew has that.

Idea for T-shirt inscription "Some randomized loot inside".

Oxhorn, you got a solid narrator's voice. Velvety, powerful, yet kind. Exceptionally expressive. Delightful!

Good to see people still watch this series to all Oxhorns playthrough's are like Audiobooks I love it

My best friend, Justin, was a HUGE fan of the fallout series. It was his absolute favorite He died in 2014 before Fallout 4 came out. Since then, I've always wanted to attempt to get a memorial to him in a Bethesda game, but have never really attempted to do it until now. Oxhorn has amazing fans. I would like to ask you guys to help me reach Bethesda so that my friend can be memorialized in his favorite series forever. I know you guys will help me. Maybe even the big man himself :). I even have a petition started that has almost 750 signatures after just one day. It blows me away how supportive the fallout community is. Thank you

Shady Sans and then the NCR being formed by the ancestors of Vault dwellers adds a bit of irony to Vault-Tec dropping a bomb on the NCR as it would never had existed if it weren't for Vault-Tec.

ox please do fallout 2 when you finish fallout 1

Hey Ox, discovered your channel pretty late but that meant I could binge watch all your previous vids whenever I wanted. Then came the day when I actually had to wait for new content. Totally worth it!

Anyone else think that Oxhorn should be the radio DJ in the next fallout title? With that smooth voice and great personality he would be perfect.

I received the fallout bundle way back in the day from a closing comic book store for free with a few unopened comics and honestly got stuck in the very first cave for years. I really respect the amount of work each of these videos take. You are an awesome guy ox

Feeling challenged, I took a quick look into Longman's Pronunciation Dictionary for the word "schism" and sure enough, there is no . The same goes for the Oxford English Dictionary: . And as for the original word, it is "skhisma". It is Old Greek for "cleft".

Can't think of how hard it must be to make videos on the classic games given how your style of video is tailored more towards character interactions and consequences in the 3d ones. That said, these are of great quality and amongst the best classic fallout videos on RU-vid. Keep it up, Ox. Loving this content.

I’m so excited for this series Oxhorn! I personally don’t like the isometric top down view of the game but I really want to know the story, so you are truly a lifesaver! I love the vids and keep up the great work!

Look how much you've grown, Oxhorn. I remember your first few videos, like Hark! Hear the Wails and Racing the Grimtotem.... and Inventing Swear Words and more. Good to see you at 975K subs, you deserve atleast 5 million subs, even 10 million. I love all your videos, and your old videos are part of my childhood.

thanks oxhorn, im really sick, and there is nothing i was looking foreward to all night while not able to sleep. Thank you so much, thank you thankyou thankyou

To start an argument; SKIZZ-em or SIZZ-em, not ever "SHH-izm"

I just ordered Fallout 3 and New Vegas I'm watching all your lore videos to help me get immersed. Also your videos are great background noise. Love ya.

I'm a big fan of the fallout series! Really happy you're playing this Ox because I honestly couldn't get into it, the top down style and turn base mechanics are not my thing, much rather watch you play it :D thanks for all your hard work!

I’m so glad you’re doing a series on Fallout 1. I started my first play through and needed this helpful “guide” to give me a push in the right direction

Ironically enough, the now episode 3 of this series was the very first video I’ve ever watched on your channel. I think I’ll go back and watch it again. Edit: Thanks for liking my comment!

So glad you started my favorite Fallout! Too many people don't know enough about this game. I always enjoy your Fallout content so this will be a real treat.

Hello OX ... I really enjoy these videos on fallout 1 because I bought the game and played it when it first came out . I did not know a thing about it but remember buying because it mentioned "wasteland " on the cover... these videos bring back a lot of memories for me as it was the first game I ever found a guide for on the internet! I played it with my best friend and cousin for hours and this game blew our minds lol now many years later seeing this and now being unable to play it and having lost touch with that old friend it really means a lot.. thank you so much.

I got so excited when I saw you started fallout 1! I love that we will get to see the story done in your stellar style of narration. Been a fan for almost 2 years and have been waiting for this! Keep it up!!

Remember to exercise caution with the Fallout Bribe, while Bethesda and Obsidian used parts of it, itself isn't canon. a bit like Van buren in that regards.

These videos are like Fallout audiobooks! Listening to them every day, excellent stuff!

Tandi's face in the trade menu is probably gonna be my favorite part of this game. It'll be hard to beat.

The writing and atmosphere here is definitely 16 times the detail

Brings back memories man. Think I was 13 when Fallout was released and i had never played something that good before. Great narration as always.

Hey Oxhorn, loving the Fallout 1 Lore! One of my favourite games and I’m glad to see you’re finally tackling it! Hopefully your playthrough will inspire others to play this great game!

I can’t describe how excited I am to see this series happening. I’m not super interested in playing Fallout 1, but the story is something I AM super interested. Thanks Oxhorn!

Now we need a glow in the dark shirt with that blessing.

Wow... Ox, you really did a great job at this. I can't even begin to imagine how long it took you to get all this footage plus all the backtracking you had to do to get all possible solutions PLUS telling us which choice is the canon one. I raise my glass to you, sir!

As soon as this series started, I got fallout 1 and started playing though it for the first time ever. Good shit! 👍💩👍

Nobody Absolutely nobody Khan: AYEEE A GHOST

I love that you explore different avenues based on different character stats. Awesome.

My dear Oxhorn, you are able to get your way with Tandi. You just need Male character with Charisma higher than 8. She's into cute guys, y'know. There's even a little 'extra' in this ... ehrm ... turn of events.

The story of Fallout 1 and it's vaults??? Omg I was wondering if you'd make a series for Fallout 1! I've never played Fallout 1 and 2 so I am excited for this!

Almost at 1m subs keep up the good work and you’ll get there in no time

Hey Ox you missed a few wall lockers in vault 15. They’re small rectangular and look almost like vent ducts. One can be found on the right wall of the entrance hallway past the blown-off vault door.

Amazing. These series are a true gem. This is very original style of walkthrough. Surely it required a lot of work. Thanks very much for that.

Look, Oxhorn! ropes! we can use these for big pits!

Good ol morning oxhorn, it's like my Saturday cartoons.

These Fallout 1 and 2 story videos are so insightful for me. I didn't get the chance to play a Fallout game til part 3 and New Vegas came out for the 360. I appreciate the story recap and your narration of it. Reminds me of listening to audio books of my favorite novels growing up as well. 😁😁😁

I’ve seen this series MULTIPLE times. But I love to watch this or even listen as background noise during lunch at work to unwind. Keep up the good work!!

Oxhorn, the word "schism" comes from the Greek "σχίσμα" /skeesma/, but because in German the letters "sch" are pronounced like the English "sh" people started to think that "schism" is pronounced like "shizm", which is honestly incorrect.

Best channel on RU-vid

Man seeing your hugh level character and I was like. "Woah, I wonder how much time he put into these playthroughs?" I remember Fallout 1 being a really long game.

Oxhorn.. I have to admit for a while there I was getting bored but this series really brought your channel back around for me.

I've always wanted to play Fallout 1 but never got the chance. Thank you so much for providing even more uber boss Oxhorn content C:

Good morning everyone! 🙋🏻 (Wish I had a Fallout character emoji)

My first Fallout game was Fallout3. I can't think of a better way to learn about the original Fallout. Thanks Ox!

Thanks for making these! I have tried in the past to play through Fallout 1 for the lore, but I couldn't. This is just as good.

Tried to look up the etymology of schism and found that the OG latin is literally spelled with a hard k; "skhizein", with that softer shism pronunciation nowhere to be found. Sorry Ox, but I think you're off on this one. However, I did find an intersting article on the etymology, and correct way of saying, pronunciation/pronounciation. So maybe language is flexible and we should all try not to step on too many toes. Super happy to see you getting into Fallout 1, it was the first video game I bought on my own. I have had so much fun with your content and look forward to what you produce!

On the subject of pronunciation, carbine is actually pronounced like "car-bean". Military Arms Channel just recently posted a video about this.

My ONE complaint with Fallout 2 is that it forces one very specific set of outcomes from Fallout 1 as canon. The Original Khans are wiped out, Tandi survives and is inspired by the encounter to form the NCR and annex most of the nearby city states, the Necropolis is wiped out by mutants, the mutants are wiped out before they can destroy anyone EXCEPT them, and Gizmo fails in his power struggle. That's it. If the first two games were to be remade(as well as fixing some of the broken quests and mechanics in Fallout 1), I'd love Fallout 2 to potentially become a completely different game if you make different choices in the first game. (Which if they kept the same late 90s art style could be doable) Like, maybe Tandi dies and her father maintains Shady Shores as an isolated town. Or maybe your power character talks her into running off on an adventure as she was initially inclined. Maybe you and Ian butcher them all and leave the town to rot. Maybe you cut a deal with Ian to put him in charge after killing those two and in exchange you get the loot. Maybe the Khans are left alone and become a major faction player in the wasteland and Fallout 2 is about them competing with whoever unites elsewhere. Maybe the player joins them and conquer the entire northern wasteland? Maybe you asurp Garl by pretending to be his dead dad or beating him in the ring of combat? Maybe you cut a deal with them to leave your pet town alone and they proceed to target elsewhere? Maybe the Necropolis...survives, a ghoul utopia, instead of being the ONLY place in the game where the mutant army canonically reaches for some reason? Or maybe you just let them die of thirst same dif as before really. Maybe without Tandi in the picture Junktowm unifies the city states? But under Killian or Gizmo? Or perhaps if you leave them both in a brutal power struggle The Hub rises to prominence? Or maybe all of them remain free city states? Maybe the Mutants are stopped slightly later and more of the southern wasteland is wiped out? Maybe they're stopped somewhat last minute and Fallout 2 features you clawing back control of the southern regions from Mutant remnants who stuck around after their leader died? Maybe you joined them and Fallout 2 involves you fighting them as the main enemy as they try to cure their sterility problem before it's too late? Maybe you and your gaggle of allies (Ian and Gycho and Dogmeat oh my) survive to the end, kill the Overseer, and take over Vault 13 by force? Maybe you lead them outside to form your own city state? Or if you wiped out Sandy Shores earilier you take over that empty city? THINK of the possibiltiys!

Thank you for drawing attention to the beginning and often forgotten lore

my daily dose of ox, hit me up brother!

Keep in mind women characters often have different dialog. Like with tandi.

I love the hilarious dialogue with the Raiders when you wear the leather jacket looking like the Road Warrior.

Really enjoyed the series I’m starting my first fallout one play through and these videos really help me through some of the more confusing parts

I got killed by Ian 5 times...

They're definitely gonna have to rewrite the lore of Vault 15 "for modern audiences". Everyone knows diversity is our strength and a vault full of people with drastically different cultures and ideologies would be a paragon of peace, tranquility, and progress.

Just gotta say... putting in that work that seems like it’d be awesome to do, but also stressful to analyze and edit; I owe a sincere thank you. Always excited to listen to you spin a tale I’m too spaced out sometimes to realize. Hope you genuinely enjoy your work and enjoy doing it. Keep doing you Ox!

Here 5 years later expanding my fallout lore, great series!!

They are used interchangeably, they actually say it in game.

Who’s here from before he hit 200k subs?

I'm passing the time at work watching these vids. Love how you explain the lore. I've never played Fallout 1 or 2. Keep up the good work ^.^

Great video once again. I applaud you sir! The amount of info you give regarding the Raider gangs is awesome! I have played Fallout a while back and to see how many different outcomes (and ways to go about certain quests) there are is mindblowing to say the least. Also, the luck skill is actually worth investing in here unlike the later games. Good job!!

I wonder what Oxhorn is going to cover once all the content for Fallout 1-76 have been made... *Oxhorn: The Full Story Of Fallout Equestria.*

Wait.. Without the raiders ncr wouldnt have happened?

That Death Hand part was pretty cool. If only Fallout games were still like this.

Bless your heart Oxhorn! I've always wanted coverage of fallout 1 and 2! THIS IS AMAZING

"To populate a vault with people who held extremely diverse ideologies and who came from different cultures. Not exactly the recipe for creating a tranquil vault" Sounds like the lefts goal for the west. Replace the word "vault" with "society" and see how well that describes modern day multiculturalist societies.

Few things, I think you already recorded these ahead of time, but 1: You missed a couple wall lockers. one in the entry hall contains flares, which arent great for combat but can be sold for a decent early game sum, and can be thrown to light up an area. Another I *think* was in the bottom floor and came with .44 ammo, but my memory is rusty 2: You can use stimpaks from within the inventory, and it tends to work out far better than using them one at a time.

Worst thing she can say is no. Tandi: Go find a brahma!

I'm so happy that you're finally doing the classic Fallouts. Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 are the best Fallout games.

In vault 15, where you find out there's no chip, sometimes you can find a lead pipe on the floor. I found it maybe twice out of all my play throughs.

Oxhorn: "Schism"....? Me: I KNOW THE PIECES FIT!!!

I just got the Fallout Mash-Up Skin Pack in Minecraft, and it’s pretty well done. I started out in Sanctuary Hills and just found Shady Sands and the Cathedral. It even has some of the songs on the Pip-Boy as the soundtrack, and music from New Vegas, Fallout 3 and 4.

I didn't know there are so many ways to rescue Tandi. The first one is amazing. Killing Khans in the early phase of the game isn't so tough. I used to do it many times even without reaching Vault 15. You have to start with the tents and kill as many of raiders as possible before the rest come.

Your videos are amazing it always helps me get through a really tough day it’s beautiful storytelling keep it up

The Vault experiments only were introduced in Fallout 2. The Fallout Bible was released after that. In the first Fallout the Vaults were just safe havens that either succeded or failed, nothing more

I never finished Fallout 1 but I got at least this far. I don't recall needing to come back later, though I DO remember using dang near everything I had against these raiders and being really low on equipment for a while later.

i just love, taking a xan and sitting back listening to the lore man himself talk about my favorite game series

On horn I love how you go into such deep lore into the videos that some people wouldn’t even realise exist! Thank you so much for putting so much effort into your videos just for us to watch. Keep up the great work!

That schism line though.🤣 Honestly I've only ever heard that word in Halo.

Your ability to narrate and storytell is awesome. Keep up the great work!

I've found it's easiest to go straight from Vault 15 to the Khan raider camp. Tandi doesn't get snatched and the loot from the Khan's makes enough for 2-3 trips back and forth to clean out Killian's inventory and make a dent in the Hub merchants inventory as well. I usually have enough in trade for a sniper rifle, combat shotgun AND combat armor from the Hub in addition to cleaning out Killian's store in trade just from the Khan loot.

Oxhorn talking about the pronunciation of schism sounds like he should be yelling😂

I never thought you would cover the old fallouts. Im so glad you did as i lack any ways to play them

I love how relaxing and fun you make these playthroughs, very soothing to listen to! Thank you :D

“The 3 major raider gangs The jackles the Vipers and the tunnel snakes” is what I thought he was gonna say that 🤣
