I think that flip of a switch mindset happened due to General Dave having a mental disorder, most likely a small version of PTSD that doesn't affect him in major ways except for the government he went for the Commonwealth, he probably originally was going for democracy, but due to his mental disorder and hunger for power he switched to a dictatorship with democratic ideals, (funnily enough that was the United States before the bombs dropped, the more you know).
>Should have done it with the Institute >The institute has enough tech to further reinforce your Empire >They can reverse Engineer BOS tech >Army of Synths
@@noisemarine561, I'm thinking that Dave "rescued" some of the scientists from the institute before he blew it up, and those scientists were sent to a secret research facility somewhere where they use technology to recreate every book of knowledge in order to bring education back to the wasteland. However, these scientists are growing resentful of the minutemen's rule, and are preparing to stage a rebellion, but Dave will squash them if they do.
I just want to say I love the journey of general dave becoming more and more authoritative and controlling whilst still believing in his original plan, maybe a side effect of having his life taken away from him at the start of the game then at the end of the game with his son. Edit: I also like how Joel’s character is kinda seen as a more freedom free will character like a de facto railroad. Also I would like to see a church of Dave cult like thing in a build.
After over 7 months of designing, Let's Build episodes with you guys, building on my own for weeks and months, Creation Kit work, custom textures and more, my massive Minutemen prison at Thicket Excavations is finally complete! Thank you all for your awesome support during huge projects like this!
Cold: The wind and water flowing, Hard: the place we call our home, Fight: to keep the dark from coming Feel: the weight of what we owe, Feel: the weight of what we owe.
This build reminds me of the quote: "the living envy the dead" from a nuclear apocalypse. I'm sure your prisoners feel this every day. I miss your build videos Dave.
General Daves grip of power seem to get stronger and stronger. I wouldn’t be surprised seeing General Dave going onto a full on ear on the rest of the brotherhood. I’m picturing a Hearts of iron 4- Old World Blues mod with the General Dave minutemen as a power to be trifled with.
General Dave inspires me. After my Minutemen defeated the Institute, I was asked to house a few stray Institute scientists at Outpost Zimonja. So I built them a nice, secure laboratory *koff*prison where they can *koff*must work on the higher order of things needed in the Commonwealth. They're well-fed and taken care of by helpful Minutemen *koff*heavily armed guards.
Finally! I waited so hard for this tour and so far it does not disappoint. If General Dave is sending manuals down there for the workers to read so they know how to create the goodies for the minutemen, this isn't simply a labor camp. It is part of General Daves educational system! The prisoners shouldn't whine, they should be proud about the opportunity to learn and expand their horizon!
U need to make a general dave "motivational" holotape to play on a loop throughout the prison. With minutemen propaganda. Great build Dave. Incredible build cant wait 4 more. Bravo.
Hey Dave, this is my first comment but damn. The immersion is on point l and I could visualize this being a real thing in the game. Keep it up please :)
RangerDave - I've always been a purist and have never modded my games. I've always played games the way the devs intended and used the tools within. But after watching your videos, I want to start. I must learn how to do it properly. I love the back stories and lore you add to your game. I love it.
Just wanna say that looking down at the prison from above it turns it into a great set piece. Only you could do that with your settlements. Amazing work.
The fallout wiki description of the baseball cards: "Matt "The Missile" Murtagh was the star pitcher of Boston's baseball team in 2077. He played for 14 years in the Majors and his signed card puts him at an impressive .314 Bat Avg."
Do you keep a fire extinguisher on hand when you go to any your HUGE settlements? Cuz your PC must start heating up with all that stuff and all those lights in one place
Why would I not be surprised if he actually just chucked people over rails into the prison? Also, Fallout 4:Sir, how much realism do you want? Ranger Dave: YES YES AND YES
Should release a map of all of your "General Dave Minutemen Empire" builds onto the commonwealth map. Maybe make it a mod and feature it in the castle or a new private HQ for General Dave.
I'll be making Joel watch me build in Fallout 76 as soon as it hits B.E.T.A.! I go into more detail in this video: ua-cam.com/video/sADPbZWtRgo/v-deo.html
People seriously underestimate fallout 4, just the sheer creativity you can Express in it makes it a big advancement over fallout 3, also dem graphics tho
This is amazing work, Dave. I am amazed. You really are the most immersive builder on the internet. A question tho, will you ever release a mod including all builds from your Minutemen Empire? Or some new blueprints?
Uh, hey General, its the foreman. Yeah, the workers were on break today. Yesterday we announced that your visit would be a day off with the exception of guards and sanitation staff, to improve morale, ya see? They get a day off today so that we can expect double tomorrow. I guess my report didnt go through. Figures. That order of [redacted by the Minuteman Rangers] is still coming through sir. Quick question, though. Any idea where these guys keep getting those old Watchman comics? Last week a bunch of them were discovered by guards during our weekly contraband sweep.
Hey Sam, It's Otto from Logistics at Bedford. Is it possible that someone managed to salvage some old printers and computers from Hubris in Boston and found a collection of Watchmen to sell? Might be that the prisoners are using them as currency in the place of caps.
Sir, guard Luke right here, a couple of hours ago I was looking in the deep tunnels of the prison and found a storage area filled with nothing but those damn Watchmen comic books scattered throughout. I swear, these books are goddamn everywhere in the place.
Murder holes are just small slits that allow a defender to shoot an arrow down to an attack who is right against the wall The things they used to pour hot tar is just a pulley system with a cauldron of hot tar at the bottom, they would also lean over the edge and pour
I absolutely love this Dave. I love building in Fallout 4, and I’ve done a huge settlement that connects Sanctuary, Red Rocket, and Concord. Wish I could show it to you someday, haha
That's awesome to hear! I try and add lots of details and extra bits to the sections from the Let's Build episodes so you guys don't have everything spoiled for you
Attempt #2. Please make a video of all of your settlements. Just a quick run through of each settlement, explaining the lore. It would be like another story to fallout.
Nice to see good views on a pretty recent video, you always make the things I thought would be cool to make, its like you know what people always wanted to see, fallout settlements will have a cult following for long time with channels like yours
I remember when you started this Dave, seeing it complete now ..... I believe my exact audible words were “are you f****** kidding me, Dave you did it again”
Im just imagining if someone took your world with all your settlements in it, scrapped all the references to the FO4 player character/quest lines and replaced it will a fully voiced new game basically just set in the future common wealth you created. I can just imagine all the crazy action that could happen in this world. I'm sure that would take years more of work and all these "new game" level mods like that always end up cancelled. You're a man after my own heart I have a similar love of building detailed back-storied settlements. My character is kind of similar but she is an escaped synth, the institute was going to make her think she was the player character and tried but something glitched out and she was aware of the false memories taken from Nora, let them think it worked until she could escape. They had also programmed her to want to unify the commonwealth under her rule(so they could control her and it) she still wants to do that it is at her core to rebuild the world but the institute will never be her master, she will have no master. I'm working on my first mayor city and temporary capital at an expanded Jamaica plain settlement, I aspire to really take my time with this settlement and make it a labor of love like your builds are. your builds inspire me! love it.
Dude this is still one of the coolest builds I've ever seen. Seriously awesome. Honestly I wish someone made a fallout mini series on it, I always thought it would be cool to have some prisoners plan to break out of the prison. you know like in guardians of the galaxy.
Yo Dave you should make a school next. Hear me out, how does the minutemen know how to read and stuff and how do they know the history of the minutemen?
Truly horrific. Can you imagine being sent there FOREVER, sorry but I'd make sure the minute men killed me, never surrender to General Dave's Army haha ur f****d either way lol. Amazing build as always Dave.
Your final fallout 4 video should be a recap or a video explaining the lore of your Minutemen and General Dave

I honestly don’t think there ever will be a final video. Eventually, Dave will have the power to make all of the wasteland, his amusement park.
