The Outcasts of Fort Independence - Plus, "Miss Launcher" - Fallout 3 Lore 

Outcasts? Oh, you mean the infinite stimpaks dispensers that make each playthrough a breeze. Casdin is basically a Sierra Madre vending machine; infinite ammo & medicine in exchange for useless salvage.

I always got a little pissed when NPC's called me Kid when I first played this game, but after doing another play-through recently I was reminded that the Lone Wanderer is canonically 19 years old.

You know they’re the true Brotherhood of Steel when they piss you off the moment you meet them

Legion: Degenerates like you belong on a cross. Outcasts: Locals like you belong on a cross.

*12:50* "This is some pretty heavy duty stuff. Don't worry, we'll take good care of it." **puts on helmet**

RadAway gives you the runs because it works as a system flush to push out the radiation from your body.

The most terrifying part of a Post-Nuclear apocalypse is that no one knows how cafeterias work

I love how when ox gives casdin the enclave helmet he immediately puts in on, like, “oooooo this is nice.”

"Im defender Anne Marie Morgan with outcast steer clear of here" "Thanks who are you?"

Thanks for your patience all, I re-made this video to include the Miss Launcher, which I forgot in this morning's version. Old video deleted, here's the new one!

They say that before stepping on a landmine. *Me: steps on 3 and lives.*

people shit on f3 for being a bad rpg, yet the lore has so much thought to it. the outcast is a good design choice to explain why the brotherhood suddenly changed to the good guys.

Nice vid

I love how he just automatically puts the helmet on

Man I loved these guys, I’d always hoard tons of enclave power armor and trade em in for some 556 Never ran low for my Legendary Chinese assault rifle

The first time I came across the outcasts I killed them, they pissed me off and I was practically on Lyons side

I feel like if elder Lyons had simply dedicated the outcasts as the “technology reclamation sector”,the whole fiasco could have been avoided,sure it breaks protocol but then again so does the eastern Brotherhood of Steel as a whole. The outcasts could have had so much more development,wether that be just a few proper side missions,or what would have been awesome:side with the outcasts to take on leadership or outright destruction the BOS or visa-verca Just my take on the situation, Have a good day!

I remember leaving the vault (a newbie to fallout), coming across these guys and spending like an hour trying to kill them for their loot (think there was 2 of them). Once I succeeded, I learned that I needed power armor training lol.

I already watched the original upload but I’ll happily watch the updated video

The fact that he was wearing mismatched power armor bugged me fir the entire video

I like how the outcasts are talking about how amazing the west brotherhood is. Then in new vegas the west brotherhood is dying off.

Really been looking forward to this one, Oxhorn, and you did great. On the matter of Outcast effectiveness: most everything the Brotherhood has was discovered upon their initial arrival in the Capital Wasteland twenty years ago; the vault of Power Armor in DC, Liberty Prime, et cetera, then Lyons redirected them to helping people. The Outcasts have only really been in existence for a little over one year and found Operation: Anchorage, and have a camp nearby to Fort Constantine -- where we find the T-51b suit in-game and a stockpile of nuclear arms. Until the Enclave War, I think the Outcasts were edging out over the Brotherhood, if only slightly. After, though... Well, Lyons got to loot the Crawler and Raven Rock, so no question Lyons was winning then. But the Outcasts' complaints were about more than just technology, even if that was the core. They saw Lyons' crusade as a waste; good Brotherhood soldiers were dying merely to save locals, and there was no grander strategy involved. Until the Lone Wanderer tells them, Lyons knows nothing more about the Super Mutants then they did twenty years ago. No surprise, to me, that Fallout 4 lore confirms a more decisive SM war post-3. Simply put, the Outcasts did not see a point in Lyons-brand of heroism. It was throwing bodies at a issue, dying without meaning, and barely scraping by still. I think that is why they agreed to rejoin under Elder Arthur Maxson -- despite him carrying on many of Lyons' policies, he still cared about the original mission, and has more ambitious plans than merely "we kill mutants, protect people" which is what led to the Brotherhood-NCR war in the first place.

The thing is that after playing FO4 I feel like the outcasts were the true brotherhood all along. Their views and mannerisms clearly aligned with Maxson which is why they came back into the fold. FO3s brotherhood was more like the minutemen.

I honestly never knew you could befriend the Outcasts; usually I just left them alone as it would end in tears whenever I decided to check out the inside of their base.

18:16 The bathroom has no sink. Do they wash their hands in the urinal? 😂

"Casdin says your clear" He says with a rocket launcher pointed at your face

I love the Brotherhood Outcasts~! They're very interesting, and their Power Armor looks amazing!

12:54 I think it’s hilarious that Protector Casdin immediately puts the Enclave power armor helmet on after giving it to him

I like Morgan's character. Her humour is perfect.

I remember doing the xp glitch with Protector Casdin back in the good old days of Fallout 3.

In Fallout 4 I used the Outcast Power Armor paint job when I beat the game with the BOS. Then I walked up to Elder Maxson with my Wazer Wifle, a quicksave, about 70 stimpaks and the doggiest of meat. I died, a lot.

My guess is Lyons was all “If you think preserving weapons is more important then using them for some good, then we have nothing left to discuss. What? You feeel like *outcastes?* Tragic.” Something in passing they latched onto, thinking to spite Lyons who didn’t give af, like the edgy teenagers they are.

I love falling asleep to your lore videos they’re so relaxing.

Just came from your clarification video re: the drama and you doing this reupload proves your point. We all make mistakes but you do all you can to correct them and maintain integrity. Can't wait to watch this version of the video! :)

The miss launcher is awesome

your the best channel to wind down at night no yelling no loud noises and great story telling love your stories Oxhorn hope you can keep it going for many more years

Really wish we could’ve joined the outcasts somehow, they’ve always been a favorite faction of mine. Maybe if we joined Lyons’s brotherhood first and then had an option to defect to the outcasts through a side quest?

I live in Fairfax! Where my fellow BOS Outcastes at?

Even though u got all this hate and slander being thrown your way you are still throwing out videos. This is why I'm subscribed! Keep up the good work!

I was about to talk about how Casdin whenever I would give him enclave power armor he would always put it on for some reason

The #1 channel for fallout lore! Love the vid, Oxhorn!

“You gonna stop asking questions now?” “How do you feel about the brotherhood of steel?”

This is how I learn fallout lore since I can only find half the info myself ingame.

Lol "unmolested" has to be my favorite word.

Oh, please make something like an audiobook. I love youre voice.

I love all your videos. I got my fiance into fallout using your videos. You do a really awesome job on all your videos. Thank you.

I'll never forget the time I handed in a full condition laser rifle, worth 999 caps, and got back 5 stimpaks (I was also 13 and didn't know condition didn't have an effect on your pay) I instantly reloaded a save.

I was watching it when you took it down DX but thanks for fixing it!

Could it be that the field reports are switched? That second one really sounds like Casdin and he was talking about Fairfax.

Wow. Right before this upload I had just saved the game an hour ago after meeting defender Rockfowl and took a break to learn more about the outcasts... wtf

After watching so many Fallout New Vegas videos it's so weird to not hear one of the same six voice actors used for most of the NPCs.

I love the outcast power armor paint the red,black and sliver mash really well I wonder what the enclave power armor would look like with the outcast paint scheme

Love the video. I am short on time, but I do want to say that I think not being able to join the Outcasts or the Enclave was a missed opportunity by Bethesda to really let us play the game how we wanted to!

Love their armor, always thought they were so cool ever since my first playthrough.

My first Fallout 3 playthrough was evil. I established a "loop" where I'd go to Raven Rock, kill the Enclave Soldiers that spawned there (except one, who I sent off to Paradise Falls), looted all their tech gear, and gave it to the Outcasts for Stimpacks, while getting some caps from the slavers, then rinse and repeat.

That was so interesting. You saying the character's lines and the focus on the stoy. So good!

War... War Never Changes! Neither does Friendship!

What's with all the drama about you? Edit: Never mind, have a good day!

I do love the look of the Brotherhood Outcasts. Black paint with red stains and trim along with some rust. Love it! I wish they would add that paint in 4 and 76. (yes, I know its lore breaking, technically, for 76 but still)

Love all your videos Oxhorn, keep them coming. You have a soothing, fulfilling and quirky voice, that makes each video memorable and unique. A big thank you from everyone in New Zealand.

Oxhorn I literally watched your full sunset vid it was really good

Steel Dawn got me feeling all nostalgic lol

In my playthrough on the Xbox 360 I was able to pickpocket scrap from Casdin and trade it right back to him. Big idiot. A problem I did have though was on a few occasions fast traveling the Independence Enemies would spawn and the Outcasts weren't healing. Eventually a robobrain killed Casdin which ended our long (and one sided) partnership.

Even though I know all of Fallout Lore by heart, I love relearning about it from you OX, you just have an awesome way of bringing the Stories and Lore to life, Keep it up Bro.

What if you give him Linden's outcast power armor?

You make the best lore, tbh

This is why I love rewatching these videos: I know it’s been mentioned before in the comments but aside from RadAway being a canonical colon cleanser, Austin from The Science! has independently come to the conclusion that it should be. Even in Fallout 4 on survival mode, RadAway basically makes you sick for a bit. I love it! And I love this universe!

There's actually 2 alien blasters, the original without dlc at the saucer crash, with dlc if you get close they beam you up and the old blaster disappears but you can send in dog meat to fetch it for you and then get the new one on the ship, I think an alien on the bridge has it.

Hi oxhorn love your lore videos. Thesw guys have cool power armor. Great video

Made me more interested in Fallout 3! Thanks mate!

I just found it funny that after you gave him the Enclave power armor helmet Cardin immediately put it on

I put hundreds of hours into fo3 and I am just now learning that the outcasts exist outside of Anchorage DLC

#supportforox should be trending... good work, fella!!

Omg I've Never Been This Early To A Video! Also I Have A Video Idea Oxhorn, Do A Video Explaining Everything About Father.

this was a great video never even knew about this place or those hidden points. Also interesting how they are doing the exact same work as the brotherhood we work with but with different conflicting ideology

The clip is really great, especially since there was one guy who said that when you did a video about The Deadly Secret of the Sunset Sarsaparilla Treasure, he said that you do not fix the video if you forgot something or wronged it. Let this video be lesson to him and others who think same.

Always enjoy your Fallout videos.

Yes thank you oxhorn for making this wonderful vid

"You can call me Anne Marie!" But only if you're partial to being flayed alive and having an angry immortal skip rope with your entrails!" - Sheogorath Nice easter egg from Skyrim referencing Fallout 3. It could also be a reference to a Dark Brotherhood character Antoinetta Marie from the game Oblivion. The Outcast Armor being Black and Red and thus "darker." The Outcasts could be a huge subtle reference to the Dark Brotherhood from Elder Scrolls. This is very funny considering both factions share Black and Red armor. While the Outcasts have the name Brotherhood Outcasts, they could easily be called the Dark Brotherhood. Just one enormous coincidence or one very well thought out joke.

This channel really made fall back into love with the fallout franchise.

When the outer worlds is released, will you do a lore series on that? Also like the lore content .

I called it. Great video OX!

Fun little tidbit, the password you found, enwozzirb, is “Brizzowne” spelled backwards. A Snoop Doggification of the researcher’s last name, Browne.

I collected tech for Protector Casdin until the 'So, are we good? You trust me enough now?' dialogue option became available. He said his piece about letting the patrols know that I'm a friend of the Outcasts and I was like great, they're going to stop insulting me and help me know if I get attacked and they're near by. But instead after I said I was leaving Casdin says 'shouldn't you be banging rocks together somewhere' a short while later I meet a Outcast patrol on the road east of the Yao Guai Tunnels whilst wearing Outcast Power Armor and they were still saying things like 'oh great here's some of the local wildlife'. I got attacked by a Giant Radscorpion and they just kept on walking. Aren't they supposed to treat you like one of their own if you're wearing Outcast Power Armor and aid you if you're under attack from hostiles after you've collected enough tech for Casdin?

I love the lore of Fallout3 told by Ox, I see in the outcasts Fallout4 BoS... So bad guys, they only care about tech. I really loved how Elder Lyons ruled the eastern chapter and gave hope to the Capital Wasteland :D Why did Sarah had to die in combat? :( She was my greatest hope for the BoS in the future... Loved the vid Ox!!!

Mandatory comment to help the channel. Positive engagement keeps the trolls small.

I don’t think I’ve watched any other video game lore videos more, so detailed love all the videos

Those wild dogs think you are a sheep waiting for slaughter. They’re taking bites out of you these few days and that clarification video put a stop to it. Hope it stabilizes soon.. or they pick another target.

Oh yeah the miss launcher, u missed that...🤔😅

Hay ox I love the content keep it up man

There are actually 2 Alien Blasters in the game, besides the Firelance. You can find a second blaster on the Enclave crawler in the Adams Airforce base.

Honestly, I'm waiting for the Fallout game where the Brotherhood's a legit antagonist (4 doesn't count, it's more a gray area since their mission is still primarily to defeat the Institute, which has been using sneaky underhanded tactics in order to essentially replace the local populace with androids that they can use to do their bidding for them. To me, they are just as evil as Vault-Tec, maybe even more so). That comment Defender Morgan makes about how they want to "save humanity from a new dark age...well, not all of humanity. Just the important ones" raises a big red flag for me. What if we encounter a Fallout game where there's a whole section of the Wasteland that survived the war that is doing its best to keep on, only for the Brotherhood to show up and wipe them out for their tech under the pretense that they were connected to the Enclave, Institute, or some other related antagonist group?

The Outcasts... Stupid like Maxson himself... I don't like them and honestly most of the times i simply ignore or kill them. Kharmaloss isn't a think if you spend your scrap metal in Megaton for nothing than refreshed kharma. Lyons did as the BoS in the east, which let super mutants in. He renewed the brotherhood to better fit the needs in their region. Every other chapter who did not failed. See the battles with the NCR and the Mojave Chapter. Slowly decaying because they underestimate their enemies and aren't interested in a solution only in picking and hording technology, and then somebody hacks your precious bunkerterminal or your prewar killerrobot and you going boom... They are short sighted and the current leader of the BoS in the Commonwealth is the best example of shortsighted, shorttempered quick solutions. The Deathclaw who wounded him would be a better leader. Who needs Synths to infiltrate a faction if they tear them apart by itself. Who will farm their crops uf they proceed this path?

“We can explore fort independence unmolested” I didn’t realise that I was gonna be gang raped by trespassing on their territory

They made the Outcasts have the best VAs and personalities

AWSOME CONTENT OX!!!!! Been a fan for about a year and I can honestly say you’re the best game RU-vidr on RU-vid. Thanks to you, you’ve rekindled my love of video games. I haven’t played since Metal Gear came out back in the oughts. I’ve become a fan of the Fallout series and and L. A. Noir thanks to you. Fan for life buddy!!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Good to still pushing on with all the controversy surrounding your channel

Hi ox

I help them, eaven before i reach BOS, and Elder Lyons gives me a bit of a finger wagging, wile i stride in the Citadel in Outcast Power Armor ;P ! I do love the outcast greeting line when i bump into them as an ally, "keep your batteries dry out there !" :) .

I love the outcasts. One of my favorite factions I wish I could've joined. I always mod my games to give me stuff to look like them so I can roleplay an outcast. I love making my rounds and walking from one corner of the map to the other stopping by Fort Independence for a refill on my .556. Never have too much. stuff empties quicker than a civi face to face with a deathclaw.
