The Immortals of Fallout
Let’s take a look at Immortality in Fallout - specifically, we’ll take a look at some intriguing characters who’ve managed the impossible and beaten death. From Dr. Stanislaus Braun (Fallout 3) to The Think Tank (Fallout: New Vegas - Old World Blues) from Robert House (Fallout: New Vegas) to The Master (Richard Grey) (Fallout) from John-Caleb Bradberton (Fallout 4 - Nuka-World) to Harold (Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3) and finally Lorenzo Cabot and the Cabot Family (Fallout 4), we’re really going to have a proper look at people who just don’t want to deal with shuffling off this mortal coil!
Enjoy - and - remember, I never hustle in the video - but if you like it - please like share sub and all that great stuff!

In this video, I dive into a mix of iconic myths and obscure curiosities-from the “Lethal ED-E” glitch to chilling whispers in Vault 22, to theories surrounding the Sierra Madre as a kind of purgatory. Over the years, these stories have moved from f...

    Vilja sounds like Serrana in terms of reactivity to things around them and the player's actions. It is no secret or hottake that many players of Skyrim loved Serrana. I assume Vilja was that for some Oblivion players.

    i was actually apart of this whole thing back in the day, we had a IRC chat dedicated to figuring it all out. i think im even in the doc as TheHobbit. It was a really fun time for sure. They eventually pulled the plug on it because real life got in the way and they couldn't keep it going. If anyone finds that google doc send it my way, i wanna save it. Edit: watched a little later and saw you covered the doc lol. Wild that i found your channel a couple days ago and now i stubbled across a video about an event i took part in. IIRC from what the creators explained to us after the fact (prob not in the docs anywhere) It was in Montreal, the end goal would be to name a new overseer and use the powers associated to decommission VK-13 or 12 (we never got a clear picture on who was bad or good or neither). I believe they also explained the idea was VK-12 was made as a vault management/overseer assistant, and VK-13 forked off him after the war for unknown reasons, and has been trying to "Leave" as it were. Where as VK-12 was just trying to complete his functions.

    Chim is probably the most bizarre and pointless lore additions. It basically is: you become aware that you are only an entity within a god's dream and are "fictional". If you accept this fact, you become independent of the dreamer. If you don't, you cease to exist. I may have that backwards. It is a said by some to be a way of explaining console commands. So, if you only played the console versions of these games, this makes no sense. Although, it is never clarified if the "dream" that Elder Scrolls takes place within is like the typical definition of a dream or is something poetic and/or symbolic. I tend to dismiss this because it is like the "reality is a simulation theory" where anything can be used to support or dismiss the validity of the theory since it is purely philosophical/conceptual. I like to think it is like the protagonists of Lovecraft's stories becoming aware of eldritch truths and going insane and sound like rambling nonsense when attempting to explain it to anyone.

    • @shadesofslay
      @shadesofslay День тому

      Bizarre it most definitely is! But, ya know, I kinda love stuff that's a bit mind bending. I love watching videos about whether we, ourselves, are in a simulation. Only risk there is it can sometimes trigger a mini existential crisis!

    Could you imagine if the Institute got a hold of the GEK.... Due to the fact that it got into the hands of Doctor Madison Lee, The lone Wanderer's Father and the Brotherhood of Steel... The capabilities of the GEK were limited. I think if the Institute got ahold of it, things would have been differently... In the events of fallout, 4, they explicitly talk about they don't want anything to do with the Commonwealth or the wasteland, because it's well a wasteland, there's no fixing it there really isn't.... Unless you have a Terra forming device. A device capable of Tera forming entire planets if used correctly... The GEK...😐😐😐 The Institute has the level of technology to use it at its highest capacity. If they had access to it, they probably could have saved the world

    I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that they make Yes Man the antagonist for season 2 of the Fallout TV show. With Dave Foley back to do the voice, he could be so menacing if handled correctly! It would be a missed opportunity if they excluded him for some other route. I think House would still need to be in there, but just having Yes Man rolling around, unsure if he's obsequious or plotting against the protagonist, could just be so much fun!

    A lot of the objects flying around on their own or enemies getting stuck in the ground can easily be explained by the goofy collision physics of the game. Those Sunset Sarsaparilla crates are extremely light weight and often fly off the shelves if even slightly tapped by another object.
