What is Hubology, Fallout 4's Creepiest Cult- Fallout 4 Theories and Lore 

Tom Cruise Simulator 2016

I was actually hoping for them to turn that "ship" into an actual starship. Oh well.

another great video man been watching since fallout 3 and new vegas definitely one of my favorite RU-vidrs

Damn. Hubology is a very transparent Scientology reference.

Anyone else think of the hubologists are like the epsilon cult from gta because the huge reward and high charges?

so the dead cause the bad stuff but you want your deceased friend to come with you?

They made sure to stay faithful *pun intended* to the Scientology parody.

Ah, the Hubologists, when did the quest, I thought I was being nice by putting in the fourth fusion core. However, before completely the quest I went to do other things and by the time I got back to it, it was to late to reload to a previous save. So, I got to AHS-8, just for teh hell of it, and then killed them all with the UFO, which really was for the best.

I killed them all by accident ;_;

Your vids are amazing, thank you so much.....

I also believe Norse mythology is the most interesting

Fallout 4's DLC is basically the Sole Survivor trying to join as many cults as possible, with some neat side quests lmao

Behold, religion, the least controversial topic of discussion there is. This one is especially insane, so I am sure you'll all love it. As always, feedback and suggestions are appreciated :)

With 10 Intelligence, I got 666 experience from the sacrificial ending, there was a demon on a poster in the junkyard, and the glowing bits inside the ship made a pentagram. Coincidence?

they should of thrown in a Tom Cruise and John Travolta reference just to be amusing

At least the ghoul cult in NV actually got to space. (some did)

Hubology is definitely a crack at the real life religion Scientology. I like how Hubology is actually more reasonable and logical than Scientology since there are actual aliens in the Fallout universe. Also it doesn't have an evil Lord Xenu who murdered millions of aliens by throwing their frozen bodies into volcanoes on Earth and then trapping their souls on earth by confusing them.

theres a plaque under the fire hidrent saying that its the largest hidrent in the world so it was a stupid tourist trap.

I never realized how weird Nick looks in a bare Power Armor frame.

I can't believe it didn't mention that after your final alignment you temporarily get a buff for 24 hours that gives you 50 intelligence.

Everyone who wants a Fallout 1 & 2 lore video like this comment!

The odd thing he forgot to mention is that the alignments actually WORK. You get temporary buffs to intelligence after each alignment, with higher level alignments offering significantly more potent buffs.

Just reminding you all the like and comment...... because apparently their may have been a change and myself and several other RU-vidrs think it was to likes and comments. So if everyone does, and the videos do better..... well then I guess thats proof. Thanks ;)

what about Wumbology?

Actually, if you look at your SPECIAL after an alignment, your Intelligence goes up pretty significantly with each alignment. However, it's only temporary, so you want to use it for boosting your level.

I almost forgot about that one particular Ghoul Cult back in New Vegas. Interesting quest to do, but oddly climatic.

The Zeta rays from Jack Cabot's gun comes from the crown that gave Lorenzo mental powers just like Hubology says you receive. Lorenzo becomes extremely intelligent, mentally powerful, and immortal because of the alien relic he is wearing. As in God like abilities. Without the actual artifact, I think the Zeta rays from Hubology are intended to give you similar powers, because since they have an actual alien blaster, I would bet the Zeta rays are genuine and the same that the alien crown gives off. Seeing as Cabot was able to reproduce them, so then can the Hubologists. Bethesda probably never put them in the game as powers or perks because Lorenzo Cabot took years to develop his first powers directly from the crown, and the player in Fallout progressed through Hubology in like a week.

35 min vid I'm gonna order Chinese anyone want anything

Tom Cruise Fallout 5 confirmed.

the fact that you find dog meat in at a red rocket truck stop still makes me laugh

jesus christ what did you do to nick

If your not Mormon or a Scientologist then what are you doing with your life? Praise Hubbard.

35 minutes! Time to bring some pizza and drinks this is going to be a good one.

No, no no... nobody survived my Massacre in Fallout 2. Wait... oh damn! That one in Shady Sands... I always forget about this one...

I played fallout 2 last week and .... the lore is based on Scientology XD it even has A mock Tom Cruise in it

Here I was thinking Jason Blights space mission was crazy. At least they had real rockets

hubology was in the first fallout started by some guy who just wanted money, stupid people took it seriously.

The so-called spaceship is based on a real life amusement park ride called the Gravitron. It's usually seen at state fairs. I rode on it several times as a kid. Never saw any aliens. Also, I brought Dogmeat to the World's Largest Fire Hydrant. He didn't seem too interested but he did growl at the Hubologists a few times.

I think the fire hydrant was like a little attraction before the war

Face reveal at 300k?

The blaster ammo might be worthwhile, although I've a mod to craft the stuff. The dead hubologists corpses keep respawning their equipment and ammo, and the man meat makes the ship a decent place to retreat and heal as the enemies respawn too.

This put me into tears...so many wasted caps ;~;

hey Apple, you should try lore view on the companions, if not, it's k

Oh boy they got me fucked up if they think I'm ever going to be paying them! I'll just eradicate them like I do every other person in fallout.

so Scientology is Hubology

I have saved Tula, you just have to be quicker on the draw during the trip there. It is just that she is the weakest one, and the most likely to die. You have to run ahead of them, and not let them do all of the fighting, if you shoot them first, she won't die.

Hope you cheated those caps back after alignment. Big waste - although I understand you did this for the video.

I need to get back to watching your videos again - I've missed so many. Great job! The Fallout lore never fails to enthrall me.

I did that quest about 3 times....the first time I used 4 cores...and I was astonished that they exploded...LOL but I took all the space suits back...good story , I enjoyed it....I knew what they or who they were....but it is fun to do this quest

Hurray for Post-Apocalyptic Scientology!

The Zeta rays are the same used by Cabot when he becomes a psychic, you get a gun that shoots them if you side with his family and kill him. The zeta wave psychic powers came from his crown that was dug up in an ancient and forgotten tomb rumoured to have existed four thousands years before known human history - possibly, these zeta rays are real in the Fallout lore, especially since aliens are known to exist in this universe and are called Zetans. That Hub had one of their guns seems to confirm that the Star Father is either based upon a Zetan encounter that was dressed up, or the Zetans are actually from the Star Father and revealed their knowledge to him. Afterall, the Zetans have been watching Earth for 700 years, but never invaded, with their only appearances on Earth seeming to be crashed ships. Perhaps the Abominations of Mothership Zeta are actually attempts to genetically uplift humans to Zeta wavelengths. We never get a clear idea of what the Zetans really want, as they only communicate in an alien language and quickly end up trying to kill the escapers. Apparently you get an intelligence buff for this final alignment as well - and if everyone is quite stupid there is a chance that the Zeta waves are in there, but they were too stupid to isolate the radiation, thus giving the guy in the chair gamma rads or something else that shouldnt be in there but hasnt been engineered out, perhaps also intentionally to limit high ranking members becoming too many (it's still a cult after all). And there are many psykers in the Fallout universe. Maybe the Hubologists stumbled upon a great truth - however, they are known to dislike intelligent people (Fallout 2) and maybe this limited their success.

the new Scientology :D , pay and pay and we wil make u super happy :D

I love your voice it is so good at times of lore

I love how nick still has the power armor you had him put on in the vim factory

All that spinning quite seriously made me ill lol

The Hubologists are a great example of how religion can make people as dumb as bricks. Faith is good, but _blind_ faith almost always leads to things falling apart. You have to think for yourself, just following orders will get you to end up like this.

ooh shit somehow I haven't watched apple in forever the fuck is wrong with me

that is a nice set of stats for the alien blaster. with the mod to modify the alien blaster (I think it is called "Alien Blaster Assault Rifle") it would allow making it a really nice weapon

oh goodness... that ride spinning has made me so motion sick... ugghhhh...

dara sounds like almost al the fenale characters in skyrim lol

anyone else drawing the parallels between this cult and scientology?

Having watched Louise Theroux's documentary that just released about Scientology, It's wonderful how Bethesda gave them a solid ribbing in FO4. Every term they use is straight out of Scientology. SP's, (suppressive persons) etc. Scary thing is that real actual people in the world believe something that's 99% in common with this.

that fire hydrants for clifford

I might have proof that the third thing you said about Zeta Rads being literally normal rads. I tested the alignment thing, but I did a alignment with Rad-X on and another with it worn off. With Rad-X on, the dosage was smaller than the non-Rad-X variant. Surely, the maker of Rad-X wouldn't have made both it and Radaway also capable of suppressing alien radiation, right? Plus, if Dick Hubbell had done this process before, how could've he gotten so much zeta radiation unless he's only talking about regular rads which are plenty in the real world?

Reminds me of the bright followers.

Well i'm sold, time to join the Hub. All hail the star father!!!

I suspect you had a bit of a oversight. The gun that Cabot gives you shoots the waves, where as Hubologist inject (for lack of a better word) the zeta waves inside you. So it could be that the zeta waves have different affects based on how it's administered. Furthermore you do get a temporary intelligence buff with the alignments, even up to 40 if I recall. I reckon the Hubologists, like all the other organized religions in the series, are legit but was taken advantage of and is now a shadow of what it was before due to non-believers with the moral fortitude of a grape using it as a money making system.

Originally Hubology was the game-equivalent of scientology.

You do get a SPECIAL stat buff that is temporary and after it ends you get a debuff, so Zeta Radiation dose do something to make you better.

Funny thing is this is pretty much straight scientology, only names were changed and in scientology you raise your OT(Operating Thetan) level by buying overpriced books, donating money and going to (again, overpriced) seminars. Also 94 scientologists disliked this video.

Hubology is a way that a person can live a whole life... better. Did you know that Bob Cruise is a member? Jon Trabolta too. Get your energy levels aligned. Realize your potential.

i feel like i owe them $300 tax exempt for no goddamn reason. and i feel like if i speak out against them i should be harrassed to death. ITS SCIENTOLOGY!

Garrus! :3

Phil really likes his calibrations.

And scientology is somehow still more absurd. Something tells me hubologists would not defend a violent serial rapist.

oh how i loved scamming the hubs

You've never known pain until you can't get the dlc's so you have to do tons of shit in the base game... I've had the game since release. (commenting for you apple.)

Hey, thenthapple where are you from, I could never guess by the accent.

Survived for me, But i did save and put more fusioncores in the UFO, They started to panic and exploded Gloriously and i laughed my ars off, then i loaded the save and let them live

OMG that garrus's voice from mass effect! as if phil is garrus ,great video btw nth :D miss you :) hope your well.

Out of everything in this Fallout I didn't like, this quest took the cake I have the motion sickness so I had to put my head down at the end or get physically ill.

I was thinking that maybe the Hubogists found a science-fiction book written by Hubbard and thought it was a bible for some religion.

The biggest question . Does this hubologist are related to next fallout games and About project rebuild space station Hermes by Enclave . Maybe in next fallout games we shall see Enclave colonization in alien planet quetzal

gg on that clifford reference

I know what happened to the other Hubologists: I killed them EVERY playthrough of Fallout 2.

her last name is Hubble and is looking through a telescope she may have made isn't it like the Hubble telescope 2.0 but smaller?

at the fallout new Vegas strip entrance do not enter the strip be turn left to the fence and ull see a a lamp in front of u stand there and u will hear the mothership zeta radio signal

Pretty sure Nicks just going "The hells wrong with this guy" the entire time you're sitting in the Zeta Aligner.

Oh...Sure, Phil gets to CALIBRATE you. How delightful...

maybe they were supposed to get to fallout 3 mothership... but the lone wondere destroyed it?

With apple back to the tubes, it is nice to see that great stuff like this returning to my notifications and brain waves.

I love getting several minutes of Garrus Varkarian's voice actor

there are 3rd ending ! (no, i am not about shot em up) start it a and stop immediately!

They got replaced by discovery family Also what do they mechalicly do?

so in this instance even if you are only half wrong in the end ur still wrong, right?

Holy shit the coolant prices remind me of April's gas prices.

It has always been pretty clear that hubology was a straigh scientology spoof.

It's fun to get high and watch your videos what country do you live in

Man I remember the Hubologists in Fallout 2. I accidentally had to commit genocide on them. I was talking to not Tom Cruise and not Nicole Kidman and I pissed them off so they sicked the entire group on me and locked me in. Marcus, Goris, Vic, and K-9 didn't take very kindly to that.
