I can’t wait for the last design document. You’ve put it all together in a great easy to understand walkthrough that I would never get from reading all the pages myself. Thank you!
Please continue this series! This is hands down the best Van Buren deep dive and analysis thats out there. And your narration and editing is on point. I regularly rewatch these videos just because they're so damn interesting and relaxing to listen to.
Hey Retcon Raider, I’m very excited to see you return to this series after it’s hiatus! While all of your content is really put together well, FOVB is what drew me to the channel and has given me hours of quality entertainment learning about this defunct game in one of my favorite franchises. I appreciate you and the work you do; thank you!
I'm always a little skeptical when it comes to the fan projects. It's been tried before, and always ends up running out of steam. But I'm happy to be proven wrong!
Oh hell yes another van buren vid finally! Been using these to reference back to for sidequest writing, hell of a lot easier than looking through the docs
Thank you very much for this series and I hope to see you continue it. I read through a few of the design documents after viewing this series and have been running a Fallout d20 campaign for my friends based on Van Buren. Anytime I'm doing prep work for it I listen to your videos covering the sections my party is at.
Glad to see the Van Buren design documents return to the channel. Wondered what was up with that. Always make me wish that Van Buren would get remade/a fan mod. Though that's obviously a pipe dream. Also the level 20 Robobrain is kind of funny to me. If the level cap was 21 like in FO2. he'd be one of the most powerful NPCs in the game. Though while it's extremely deadly it doesn't quite understand the world it escaped to. Kind of like a god or an alien crashing to a planet they no longer recognize. Though maybe I'm reading too much into that.
A guy named adam lacko is making the game as a fan mod using only the docs, concept art, and advice from the original writers. One day he will finish so you might get your wish. He's got a twitter page and will release a demo soon
Any chance we'll finally get the last few bits of this? I listen to it idly at work and it's been one of my favorite things to just have playing in my ear
It's a lot more likely now that I finally salvaged my old notes. They were trapped on a dead hard drive for the past year. I'll need to spend some time getting them updated and back in order, though. :)
Yes and no! I don't have my notes handy at the moment, but I think I had about 6 more episodes planned at one point. I was particularly looking forward to talking about the Grand Canyon.
One thing I don't understand : why wasn't Van Buren reinvigorated? Was it a legal issue or just some tradition among gamedevs to never revive dead projects or what? To think of it : I can't recall any single canceled game being revived. Well, Stalker 2 allegedly, but I'm not holding my breath
In this case, I'd say it just wasn't what Bethesda was looking for when they first licensed - and later bought - the franchise. Then they started scavenging all the unreleased games for potential material in games like Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, which made Van Buren increasingly obsolete.

YES DO MORE I MISSED THIS!
Dear Retcon Raider. I love these videos and as a big Fallout fan I hope you´ll someday finish it. Listen to the playlist almost everyday :P
honestly its quite funny how this series almost had the same fate as van buren, unfinished
Hey Retcon Raider,
I’m very excited to see you return to this series after it’s hiatus! While all of your content is really put together well, FOVB is what drew me to the channel and has given me hours of quality entertainment learning about this defunct game in one of my favorite franchises. I appreciate you and the work you do; thank you!
Still waiting for more, great videos dude
what in the goddamn-
Yes more Van Buren! I missed your analysis of the docs
you better bring this back, I need my van buren lore
Yes I'm so glad to see this again, since this is the whole reason I found your channel.
Do more I just watched all of these and I'm sad its incomplete but actually kind of happy theres potential for more!
If you check no mutants allowed, someone is making van buren in unity, looks like this one will complete too.
I'm always a little skeptical when it comes to the fan projects. It's been tried before, and always ends up running out of steam.
But I'm happy to be proven wrong!
How's it going?
I can't wait for more of this.. I've loved this series so far.
Yeeesssss thank you so much for coming back to this! Been checking back periodically for just this thing. Thanks so much
You have no idea how much I appreciate this playlist. This is a fascinating game that I will mourn til the day it is maybe remade and released.
THE RETURN OF THE KING. Missed these videos, hope you keep working on them knowing you’ve got plenty of appreciative fans behind you.
Oh hell yes another van buren vid finally! Been using these to reference back to for sidequest writing, hell of a lot easier than looking through the docs
Wow! I binge watched all the episodes so far and can't believe it's not done. I'd love for more!
I wonder if Kyle turned into Mr.Fantastic
OH MY GOD I MISSED THIS THANK YOU!
(In general i love your content but i met your channel thanks to this series of videos)
Me to

So glad to see this. I was worried that you wouldnt make another one again. Im ecstatic to see I was wrong
Great to see the van buren videos again!
OMG, it’s finally back! Thank you!
Awesome. The wait was worth it. Hope ya do more videos like this. Like with the cancelled original baldur's gate 3
Yesssssssss! Thank you!

YES
Thank you so much please! Make another video. I need more FOVB
So close to the end
Yes and no! I don't have my notes handy at the moment, but I think I had about 6 more episodes planned at one point.
I was particularly looking forward to talking about the Grand Canyon.
Will we see more?
Any more coming?
More pleas
i'm sure someone could rebuild this out of an existing engine, maybe something like new vegas as a base?

Yeah but New Vegas could've been VB. Maybe. Probably. Also you answered under a 4 months old video, God bless you, Retcon Raider
I like Bear :)
Yessss
THank
Hey, I love you, please come back
YOOOOOOOOOO
