I think a cool future easter egg could be something like a random moment where the player at night looks up at the sky and sees a Zetan saucer in a dog fight with another alien ship before both quickly take off
Or a lonely Zetan saucer making very rapid, silent lateral movements like in some real world-stories. And if you pay attention long enough, the craft will stop and jump into the air at incomprehensible speeds. This would actually look amazing if you were able trigger this event from above. Like on a hill or some other higher point in the map.
Let's also not forget that the Enclave's mobile base crawler at Adams Air Force Base has an alien blaster and several alien blaster cells in a storage crate. So, either the East Coast Enclave inherited this alien equipment from their West Coast brethren, or they acquired it during their tenure in the Capital Wasteland.
I believe the outcast fort had alien cells too. May have been prewar captures distributed across the country for research. Perhaps even influencing advancement into laser/plasma tech. Either way, just conjecture until confirmation
Did anyone discover the huge room filled with 'Giddyup Buttercup' robotic horse toys in the Zeta Mothership? *The Zetas were manufacturing them and using them for mass surveillance*
The Zetans are using the Giddyups as spy cams, and the Institute uses Mannequins and Birds! Someone is ALWAYS watching you! If that crow looks a little *too* intently at you during your more... intimate moments in the wasteland... Someone's watching.
Zetans, Bright Brotherhood, Robotic defense satellites. The enclave did have access to most of the US Satellite defense systems and reconnaissance, including mentions of a Space station in orbit supposedly still in operation but is unmanned with automation.
The rockets were supposedly made for short tourist trips and in the ending they return to Primm to support the locals in defending the town and reconstruction after probably achieving enlightenment experiencing cosmic rays and beholding the planet from space.
Theory. The zetans are reminents from there own post apocolyps of a larger galactic civilization. They're trying to make abominations and destroy humans to repopulate a planet, but lack the additional resources to do it well. They're basically space raiders on a much bigger and longer time frame than humanity.
@@caradog1081 I feel like this is that "it's about space wizards and laser swords, it's not supposed to make sense" argument. Just because the Fallout universe is wacky doesn't mean it has to be stupid
When you think about it the lone wanderer is technically the first to achieve this as the ending to mothership zeta is kind of like the ending to saints row 4 where you can either search for a new planet with a powerful ship at hand or with all the frozen humans on board build up a force to create a new civilization on the least affected part of earth with powerful zetan tech
I think this part of the story is coming. Maybe not next game, but it will definitely be part of the lore. Explaining who all tried to blast off from earth in a last ditch attempt to save themselves would be awesome
@@painhertz The outer worlds is a great game for people who like fallout style games. It's linear story is a bit short. But that's just an issue if you play it point to point with the linear story and actually never explore other locations and people. I would'n call it garbage at all. Starfield i had bigger expectations for. But it disappointed so much more. Starfield is close to being garbage to me. But i don't think it deserves such a low rating either. It is still a game. It function somewhat how you expect a bethesda game to work. And it has a story. None of it is great. But it's okay. Wishlist it and buy it on a 90% sale and you'll actually enjoy it. Outerworlds didn't have the budget starfield had. It's not as vast. But it has more filling and has to me a better narrative that you follow as well.
Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enclave. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to spread democracy through superior firepower where no American has gone before. *insert Star Trek music*
I've always been fascinated by the Garden of Eden Creation Kit, but apart from the Matter-Energy Replicators a GECK is made up of technology that Fallout already has, and isn't that far away from where we are now technologically, but if you read the Fallout Bible it says there is no Matter-Energy Replicator in a GECK.
The fake moon rocks thing is totally a part of real American kitsch. Still exists. When I was a boy and visited the US, before I moved here from Ireland, my dad got me one from a souvenir shop in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (which is actually the capitol of the state; people assume it's Pittsburgh or Philadelphia. I did until I lived here). Still have it. It's actually just a chunk of white granite that has a sticker that says 'moon rock' on it. I still kind of want to know what the Enclave wanted in Fallout, because at least some factions had plans to just abandon Earth and go to the moon or Mars according to some lore. Actually, I'd just like the Enclave to be more fleshed out. There are obviously competing factions within it. Some characters are clearly not so draconian. An Enclave civil war could be an interesting thing, perhaps during an invasion by the Zetans (they think humans are weakest when even the strongest of them are fighting themselves). Could make for an interesting storyline I think. Also, I think you left out Archimedes II. It was an Enclave space station.
Fun fact Neil Armstrong and buzz aldrin gifted a chunk of moon rock to the government of Holland, they had it tested & it turned out to be petrified wood & nobody could explain why.
@@bruhdon4748 Yeah, that was a gift to William Drees, right? He was the prime minister at the time I believe. No one knows why he just gave him petrified wood and said it was a moon rock. So odd.

@@AnnPMadera me personally I like to think it’s something deeper than that, have you ever seen what they all look like when they came back from the moon? They all looked like they had PTSD and saw some shit, there was also this weird interview with i believe buzz aldrin on a talk show where he corrects the host & said you was watching a puppet show and we never went to the moon etc idk just fishy
@@bruhdon4748 I believe they went to the moon, but Aldrin said something very odd once. Weirder than that. Aldrin believes in aliens, and implied they weren't allowed to talk about it, but would say things like, "There were sounds on the exterior of the hull. Something was knocking." Armstrong said something similar but not so blatantly.
I'm glad to see you brought up Outer Worlds. It is a very curious game that feels like it's a continuation of his goals. In the game, they refer to a great war happening, and having sent humanity out to the stars for future colonization and whatever else. Only makes you wonder, beyond dismissing as references.
To me it seems like there could have been a plotline with these zetans far larger than the original DLC. But time and space didnt allow them to fully flesh out a complete narrative. For that, and considering that pretty much every other possibility is always questioned by something different, I say the Zetans starting the war is a pretty good solid plot theory over the rest of them all.
Tbh if a fallout game took place partially in space I think that would do well Like just start it in the same fashion as the mothership zeta dlc Have us in a very small area, crash, we investigate, get abducted either by zetans or by the crew of mothership zeta (maybe to save the lone wanderer if he survived to keep being their captain?) And become the new captain halfway through the plot line Then just have like a limited area on like 3 or 4 planets, including earth at the end
@@ItsDaHoots you will love to know that the original fallout story was supposed to take place in a planet out of our solar system because Earth was taken over by Dinosaurs. That was the original script for fallout
The Zetans being the ones behind the Great War is a neat twist...but it arguably undermines one of the big themes of the Fallout series: that it was humanity's greed and cruelty and paranoia that did it in. That we're our own worst enemies and our obsession with some shiny Golden Age caused humanity to stagnate in a variety of ways that led to the US and the PRC nuking one another because both sides wanted to be top dog. Though, the Zetans doing an Emperor Palpatine and manipulating various Earth nations into destroying one another without actually doing anything directly IS an interesting story idea...an encounter with the Zetans positing the argument that all they did was watch or study our behaviour, nothing intentionally malicious to conquer the planet...
@@generalilbis I agree. Another reason I don't see space (or even other countries) playing a major role in a fallout game is that Fallout is at it's core a story about The US.
Great perspective of Fallout and it's setting, however there it one facet that is not covered in this video. The Hubologists in Fallout 2 do actually travel into space on a parallel to the VentureStar shuttle vehicle with the help of the Chose One if the player makes it so. The game does not say how far they get, but they are in space long enough to run out of oxygen and asphyxiate. This fact does suggest that spacial travel is possible despite potential Bethesda story limitations.
I could maybe see that, not sure about starfield though, the games would have to take place thousands of years apart, however in Fallout it is mentioned that their was an old society/civilization with advanced tech, I personally don't know much about it, I'm just going based off what I saw/heard in a video eitherway the society/civilization did eventually fall apart, I don't think it's mentioned why though. Starfield would have to take place in the far future, like far far, like 300 years at the very very least, and that's being optimistic and hoping that Humanity could bring back some level of civilization within that time period, however a realistic time frame imo would be 600 - 2000 years in the future, maybe more depending on how long it takes for humanity to recover.
@@_easyconcept it's basically impossible for both to be in the same universe, since The Elder Scrolls follows a really different way of how the universe works, but it's kinda funny to imagine still. Would Caesar's Legion be based on what Empire of TES? the Reman Dynasty?
You forgot this: The Archimedes II space station, as it is named with that huge ass neon lighting, is the Enclave's secret orbital base that the Courier can visit and destroy with the NCR Exiles, and is totally not something out of Dead Space or CoD Infinite Warfare. It is protected with numerous smaller fighters armed with lasers. Only real fans will know what I'm talking about.
Delta IX also means the Delta line went through 5 more revisions as the current version is Delta IV and Delta IV Heavy, though the single stick is retired and I think the heavy only has one flight left.
After NOT Blowing up the Institute it felt like there was a missing story and a Huge secret still left to be found.. Especially with the way youd put synths together and then the Mutant lab secretly hiding in the back of the Institute Zoo
This was a cool idea for a video. I had forgotten most of the space stuff in FO3. I did play the Mothership Zeta DLC and remembered loving it. I do also love that mural in Concord. I wonder if they used any giant robots in that moon battle? I will have to stop by there and look again. As I am replaying FO4 with a video idea that I have in mind.
There was a cult who traveled into space in Fallout 2, and the character of Tim Kain in Fallout stated that they were using the vaults as a test of how prolonged space travel to nearby stars in generational starships taking years to make the journey to Centauri or Tau Ceti
don't forget satellites like the one from Poseidon Energy (i think it was called Archimedes) that contained a kind of super laser. who knows how many other such sats were in orbit.
I remember in fallout 2 there was an AI called Skynet that was made from alien tech which became aware in 2081, it makes a comment about its creators giving it new instructions in 2120 despite its human makers wouldve mostly likely be dead.
It's not really an "outer" space thing, it's a bunch of satellites in geostationary orbit around the earth that happen to have weapons, little different to our world
Carl Bell must have $h!t himself several times over that 12 minute and 7 second flight around the planet. Compare his flight to the roughly 90 minutes it takes the International Space Station to get around the earth. I realize his ship had a rocket engine propelling it through the atmosphere but still, the man must have been terrified. What a way to go.
I'm surprised that highly technical factions like the Brotherhood of Steel haven't recovered and at least tried to reverse engineered the Zetan technology.
I think it’s supposed to be one of the robots you can encounter on the mothership. Still really similar though, flatwoods monster might be some kind of piloted version of them.
The alien kneeling and praying as it makes what looks like movements indicating begging for its life could either indicate they have a religion or religions similar to ours OR they understand us enough to know that kind of thing might cause someone to refrain from killing them long enough for them to escape or help to arrive.
Well they never bothered to learn to speak with us for over 600 years and they only got what they can see, yeah 600 years of seeing that pop up woeking every so often, perhaps the zetan command updated the emergancy information packets on human escape/conflict amd what to do.
I think it would be cool if the international space station was still there and perhaps Mr Gutzy’s were taking other satellites and fusing it all together.
If there's ever a Fallout game where you can visit the White House I think itd be neat if you could find an expertly locked terminal with its contents confirming several conspiracy theories from real life in the world of Fallout, like maybe Vault Tec helped fake the moon landing or found aliens when they went to the moon or something, idk i think it could be neat, and maybe the confirm other theories people have about the lore of Fallout and some miscellaneous real life stuff as funny references
Mr House bares an uncanny resemblance to Howard Hughes, but one could surmise that the people who started the war had a ringside seat from their vault on the moon.
The Mars Shot Project is detailed in Fallout 4; a pre-war US plan to send the first manned mission to Mars. Funding was cut shortly before launch due to the outbreak of the war, but you can still use the rocket engine to destroy a load of synths.
in new vegas the speed at which the rockets fly though the air is actually nuts when you compare with real life rockets and think about the momentum build up IN space with that atmospheric speed in mind.
14:30 Keep in mind that this last mother ship was captured by the wonderer and is controlled by the medic from the USSA. Also I remember the recording from the linguistic. She was a linguistic in the USSA military and was trying to get them to stop shocking her. Then through a brief integration, she discovered that they understood her. She was both surprised and relieved. Sadly this feeling was also brief as she soon discovered what her fate was. She fell asleep as she pleaded with them. Sadly I never discovered what happened to her and I assumed she died. I really wanted to find her as she would have been a great help on the ship.
They probably come from earth originally, Lorenzo Cabot discovered a n ancient advanced civilization and got the crown which changed him but he was still also very much himself, just more intelligent and apathetic to his family. He prolly found the original zetan civilization as they left it before leaving to explore and returning to find humans have barely advanced and in fact sent themselves back a few hundred years.
FO5 should take place at least partially on the Moon. A massive functional moon colony overrun with sentient Zetan ghouls, vacuum resistant super mutants, and Chinese ferals.
The whole invasion events were pretty cool on 76. You kinda missed that. But otherwise it could have used some more thought into it. Hope we get more zetan content in the future.
Ohhh that be a bit much remmber there trying to pool in new viewers not just old fans and they got alot to hold up, meam maybe when they got a good opening or need a break frim the wastland for an arch.
@@ryushogun9890 shame it seems they know what there doing so your kinda wrong for now but that show could 180 into the ground just as easy, also could you really think aliens in s1 would work?, even z nation wiated a bit before they broke out there aliens episode.
I remember that there was info in f1 or 2 that some astronauts stayed on space station. They compiled knowledge needed to survive in post apo. and they are brotcasting it via radio. they are dead but brotcast is still on.
Nuka World DLC, fallout 4, vault tech exhibition in the galactic zone. They specifically name a system, and it's vault tech funded not government, and also in fallout 4 in some locations it describes how they have the rocket science ready for deep space missions.
NukaWorld vault isn't an actual space plan, the flavour text in the area shows it's just a means to experiment on people and recruit people for the vaults. It's like EPCOT alongside Space Mountatin
In regards to the bit regarding how they (The Zetans) could easily take over the planet but choose not to do so, a few hypotheses come to mind: 1. Due to their superior intelligence, they might appreciate the mindset of winning a fight without ever engaging in one to begin with. If they are truly behind the great war, it could be that the reason they study mankind is to learn more about why they fight each other so as to be more capable of manipulating them into doing so. Effectively, their goal could be to have humanity wipe itself out so that they don't have to waste their own resources doing so. This would especially make sense if for whatever reason, long periods of time were of no issue or concern to them. 2. It could be that as intellects, they are primarily knowledge driven. They might have no need of the planet itself, it's land, or it's resources. However, they could have a curiosity to them that leads them to wish to study humanity. Not just for the sake of understanding humanity itself, but intelligent life in general and perhaps even in search of insight regarding their own ancient past. 3. They may not be aliens at all. They could simply be an evolution of humanity from some far off future engaging in time travel, or a far more advanced race of intelligent life forms native to the Earth from the ancient past. In the case of being time travelers, their interest in different time periods throughout history makes more sense, as they would wish to know more about the events of history that slowly lead up to their own existence filling in whatever gaps in their knowledge may exist due to lost or imperfect historical records. As for being a far older race of intelligent life from the Earth's past, it could be that they expanded beyond the Earth a long time ago, inhabiting other areas of the solar system or even other nearby solar systems. This could make humanity a sort of left behind offshoot of themselves, or just a race of beings that naturally took their place in their absence.
They are a spacefaring and presumably interstellar species, the asteroid belt has FAR more resources than the Earth does or ever did not to mention the planets so #1 is out. I'd go with #2.
Ever since I played Mothership Zeta, I was convinced that The Zeta started The Great War. Either on purpose because we pose a threat to their hegemony or on accident from their warp drives setting off nuclear activity detection stations.
@@michaelk5676 also possible they somehow do not know American rockets as well, As there is a real life Delta series stopping at 4, Delta IV and Delta IV Heavy. the Heavy is a triple stick meaning for people not knowing their ULA vehicles it looks like a Falcon Heavy.
I feel like it's also possible that the Zetans homeworld ISN'T like Earth, but they created a genetically modified organism to upload themselves into, or birth new embryos of themselves, in order to explore Earth without harm. Kinda like Keanu Reeves from The Day the Earth Stood Still
for those of us that go with MrHouse and colonize space just remember that the Zetans are our next challenge. Gonna be needing all the tech out of BIG MOUNTAIN to counter them but as long as we arent fighting the entire species all at nce it should be fine

Maybe fallout is a plane of oblivion?
Same.
That seems largely impossible, but kinda wacky. Are the fallout eldritch just a remnant from herma-mora?
I could maybe see that, not sure about starfield though, the games would have to take place thousands of years apart, however in Fallout it is mentioned that their was an old society/civilization with advanced tech, I personally don't know much about it, I'm just going based off what I saw/heard in a video eitherway the society/civilization did eventually fall apart, I don't think it's mentioned why though.
Starfield would have to take place in the far future, like far far, like 300 years at the very very least, and that's being optimistic and hoping that Humanity could bring back some level of civilization within that time period, however a realistic time frame imo would be 600 - 2000 years in the future, maybe more depending on how long it takes for humanity to recover.
@@_easyconcept it's basically impossible for both to be in the same universe, since The Elder Scrolls follows a really different way of how the universe works, but it's kinda funny to imagine still. Would Caesar's Legion be based on what Empire of TES? the Reman Dynasty?
Destroy all humans is like a prefallout game.
this is one of the better newer fallout channels, keep up the videos they are fire
You forgot this:
The Archimedes II space station, as it is named with that huge ass neon lighting, is the Enclave's secret orbital base that the Courier can visit and destroy with the NCR Exiles, and is totally not something out of Dead Space or CoD Infinite Warfare. It is protected with numerous smaller fighters armed with lasers.
Only real fans will know what I'm talking about.
Is the frontier canon?
@@maggiegordon2058 God, no. But also, God, I hope it is (and as a result, is nuked back to hell and high water by some vigilante savior saint)
shut up I hate you
@@maggiegordon2058 god i hope not
@@maggiegordon2058 No it fucking ain't, and I thank god it ain't 😂
Delta IX also means the Delta line went through 5 more revisions as the current version is Delta IV and Delta IV Heavy, though the single stick is retired and I think the heavy only has one flight left.
Think of all the mint bottle caps left over on the moon. It's worth going just for those.
After NOT Blowing up the Institute it felt like there was a missing story and a Huge secret still left to be found.. Especially with the way youd put synths together and then the Mutant lab secretly hiding in the back of the Institute Zoo
This was a cool idea for a video. I had forgotten most of the space stuff in FO3. I did play the Mothership Zeta DLC and remembered loving it. I do also love that mural in Concord. I wonder if they used any giant robots in that moon battle? I will have to stop by there and look again. As I am replaying FO4 with a video idea that I have in mind.
Did you forget the full-scale Zetan invasion of Appalachia?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't fallout 76 non-canon to the rest of the fallout series?
@LCARS DATA NODE ok sweet! I take it back then. I thought the devs had made a statement but I'm probably thinking about some other game!
@@aspenator42 it is canon
@@eliphas_vlka I'm happy to be corrected!
@@aspenator42 I think Fallout 76 operates on the same logic ESO does. It's """technically""" canon, but takes place in a different timeline
“In the Fallout universe very little attention is given to the stars above”
Mothership Zeta: “Am I a joke to you?”
Yes. The whole dlc is a joke.
Mr. House's space visions were just pipe dreams
He’s a genius with a giant army of robots I’m sure he can get a space program up and running.
There was a cult who traveled into space in Fallout 2, and the character of Tim Kain in Fallout stated that they were using the vaults as a test of how prolonged space travel to nearby stars in generational starships taking years to make the journey to Centauri or Tau Ceti
Mr. Pebbles, the only Space Hero we need! 😺
don't forget satellites like the one from Poseidon Energy (i think it was called Archimedes) that contained a kind of super laser. who knows how many other such sats were in orbit.
I've always seen the Zetans as more legend than cannon.
I remember in fallout 2 there was an AI called Skynet that was made from alien tech which became aware in 2081, it makes a comment about its creators giving it new instructions in 2120 despite its human makers wouldve mostly likely be dead.
I think Starfield would fit the whatif scenario you suggested far more than OuterWorlds.
Sadly no starfield doesn't have the divergence
Seems the giant orbital laser in FNV is tossed aside. You know the one arcade said was cool and got mad when you activate it
It's not really an "outer" space thing, it's a bunch of satellites in geostationary orbit around the earth that happen to have weapons, little different to our world
@@GobtikMore outer space than America's first man in space
Love the lore and perspective to fallout really lets me get creative. Your OUTER WORLDS take is so awesome
I call Outer Worlds, Space Fallout
"SPAAACE"- command and conquer red alert 3
Tim Curry = legend
The Bright Brotherhood is floating around somewhere up there
Carl Bell must have $h!t himself several times over that 12 minute and 7 second flight around the planet. Compare his flight to the roughly 90 minutes it takes the International Space Station to get around the earth. I realize his ship had a rocket engine propelling it through the atmosphere but still, the man must have been terrified. What a way to go.
I think the writers just didn't know much about spaceflight, orbiting around earth in 12 minutes isn't physically possible lmao
I'm surprised that highly technical factions like the Brotherhood of Steel haven't recovered and at least tried to reverse engineered the Zetan technology.
6:17 that’s that one cryptid from 76 the flat woods monster I think
The hologram
I think it’s supposed to be one of the robots you can encounter on the mothership. Still really similar though, flatwoods monster might be some kind of piloted version of them.
The alien kneeling and praying as it makes what looks like movements indicating begging for its life could either indicate they have a religion or religions similar to ours OR they understand us enough to know that kind of thing might cause someone to refrain from killing them long enough for them to escape or help to arrive.
Or the animator forgot the religious aspect of that praying hands pose.
@@RedSntDK I highly doubt that.
Well they never bothered to learn to speak with us for over 600 years and they only got what they can see, yeah 600 years of seeing that pop up woeking every so often, perhaps the zetan command updated the emergancy information packets on human escape/conflict amd what to do.
Maybe after studying us for so long they picked up our mannerisms
I just noticed the voice actor that plays Mr house is the one that plays Odo in star trek DS9
RIP René Auberjonois
12:38 Well damn. I think we might have stumbled on the real origins of the Emperor
its whatever Starfield will be
I think it would be cool if the international space station was still there and perhaps Mr Gutzy’s were taking other satellites and fusing it all together.
This video popped into my feed I thought it was an older video turns out it’s not even a day old as of writing this lol amazing job btw
If there's ever a Fallout game where you can visit the White House I think itd be neat if you could find an expertly locked terminal with its contents confirming several conspiracy theories from real life in the world of Fallout, like maybe Vault Tec helped fake the moon landing or found aliens when they went to the moon or something, idk i think it could be neat, and maybe the confirm other theories people have about the lore of Fallout and some miscellaneous real life stuff as funny references
Isn't the White House destroyed in Fallout 3?
Mr House bares an uncanny resemblance to Howard Hughes, but one could surmise that the people who started the war had a ringside seat from their vault on the moon.
Another quality video Yaboii!
Dr Who is canon, you can't convince me otherwise.
The Mars Shot Project is detailed in Fallout 4; a pre-war US plan to send the first manned mission to Mars. Funding was cut shortly before launch due to the outbreak of the war, but you can still use the rocket engine to destroy a load of synths.
"The Hubologists need fuel for their spaceship".
in new vegas the speed at which the rockets fly though the air is actually nuts when you compare with real life rockets and think about the momentum build up IN space with that atmospheric speed in mind.
Starfield is what is in space.
Starfield should have followed the Enclave faction that left earth
I'm looking forward to Fallout Easter eggs in Starfield
I hope it’s loaded with them! Like the bright followers from new Vegas would be amazing 😂
14:30 Keep in mind that this last mother ship was captured by the wonderer and is controlled by the medic from the USSA.
Also I remember the recording from the linguistic. She was a linguistic in the USSA military and was trying to get them to stop shocking her. Then through a brief integration, she discovered that they understood her. She was both surprised and relieved. Sadly this feeling was also brief as she soon discovered what her fate was. She fell asleep as she pleaded with them.
Sadly I never discovered what happened to her and I assumed she died.
I really wanted to find her as she would have been a great help on the ship.
I love space in fallout knowing theres aliens somewhere out there
Damn, Mr house sounds like Odo doing an impression of Quark.
To be fair, René Auberjonois was in his late 60s when he recorded the voice lines for Mr House.
They probably come from earth originally, Lorenzo Cabot discovered a n ancient advanced civilization and got the crown which changed him but he was still also very much himself, just more intelligent and apathetic to his family. He prolly found the original zetan civilization as they left it before leaving to explore and returning to find humans have barely advanced and in fact sent themselves back a few hundred years.
Without all the light pollution the sky sure is pretty
Honestly seeing the very crude design for the FlatWoods Monster Easter egg on the ship was very nice to see.
In Starfield I really want to stumble on a ancient space station and find Vault-Tec stamped all over it.
Vault-Tec is just a puppet corporation of the US Government/Enclave, if they built any space stations it would probably have Enclave markings
Rip lika she was a stray but she’ll always have a home in our hearts
FO5 should take place at least partially on the Moon. A massive functional moon colony overrun with sentient Zetan ghouls, vacuum resistant super mutants, and Chinese ferals.
It would be cool if Zetans were in Starfield!
1:44 is that EFFING DEACON in the middle?
Oh yeah baby another yaboii banger
The whole invasion events were pretty cool on 76. You kinda missed that. But otherwise it could have used some more thought into it. Hope we get more zetan content in the future.
It would be rad to find a random cryptic episode in the Fallout series of aliens in New Vegas
Ohhh that be a bit much remmber there trying to pool in new viewers not just old fans and they got alot to hold up, meam maybe when they got a good opening or need a break frim the wastland for an arch.
@@alexshinra6722 that's the same mind set of movies and series based in games which failed.
@@ryushogun9890 shame it seems they know what there doing so your kinda wrong for now but that show could 180 into the ground just as easy, also could you really think aliens in s1 would work?, even z nation wiated a bit before they broke out there aliens episode.
@@alexshinra6722 Bruh, I said New Vegas, not the first season.
Souvenirs moon rocks??? Don't they know those are poisonous?
I remember that there was info in f1 or 2 that some astronauts stayed on space station.
They compiled knowledge needed to survive in post apo. and they are brotcasting it via radio.
they are dead but brotcast is still on.
Delta IX is Delta NINE
An Enclave space station of course. Pog.
Some ghouls from Fallout NV
I always saw Outer Worlds as the future
Prewar Earth was bound for if The Great War hadn’t happened
Nuka World DLC, fallout 4, vault tech exhibition in the galactic zone.
They specifically name a system, and it's vault tech funded not government, and also in fallout 4 in some locations it describes how they have the rocket science ready for deep space missions.
NukaWorld vault isn't an actual space plan, the flavour text in the area shows it's just a means to experiment on people and recruit people for the vaults. It's like EPCOT alongside Space Mountatin
In regards to the bit regarding how they (The Zetans) could easily take over the planet but choose not to do so, a few hypotheses come to mind:
1. Due to their superior intelligence, they might appreciate the mindset of winning a fight without ever engaging in one to begin with. If they are truly behind the great war, it could be that the reason they study mankind is to learn more about why they fight each other so as to be more capable of manipulating them into doing so. Effectively, their goal could be to have humanity wipe itself out so that they don't have to waste their own resources doing so. This would especially make sense if for whatever reason, long periods of time were of no issue or concern to them.
2. It could be that as intellects, they are primarily knowledge driven. They might have no need of the planet itself, it's land, or it's resources. However, they could have a curiosity to them that leads them to wish to study humanity. Not just for the sake of understanding humanity itself, but intelligent life in general and perhaps even in search of insight regarding their own ancient past.
3. They may not be aliens at all. They could simply be an evolution of humanity from some far off future engaging in time travel, or a far more advanced race of intelligent life forms native to the Earth from the ancient past. In the case of being time travelers, their interest in different time periods throughout history makes more sense, as they would wish to know more about the events of history that slowly lead up to their own existence filling in whatever gaps in their knowledge may exist due to lost or imperfect historical records. As for being a far older race of intelligent life from the Earth's past, it could be that they expanded beyond the Earth a long time ago, inhabiting other areas of the solar system or even other nearby solar systems. This could make humanity a sort of left behind offshoot of themselves, or just a race of beings that naturally took their place in their absence.
They are a spacefaring and presumably interstellar species, the asteroid belt has FAR more resources than the Earth does or ever did not to mention the planets so #1 is out. I'd go with #2.
So far alien's and Mothership Zeta... saved you some time. There's nothing else yet
Imagine a Fallout series where the setting is the aftermath of a Zetan invasion rather than nuclear war.
I'd play that.
Ever since I played Mothership Zeta, I was convinced that The Zeta started The Great War. Either on purpose because we pose a threat to their hegemony or on accident from their warp drives setting off nuclear activity detection stations.
As of the fallout tv show, there are only two candidates for who dropped the first bomb.
It was either china or vault tec
@@Bro1212_ I dont watch slop.
@@gwendeerlin the show was better than the past 2 fallout games combined… wym slop?
doom 2016 has a door that has the vault tech logo on it so its probably best that everyone stays in the wastes for now
We all know it's President Kimbel in a low orbit space laser to collect taxes
The vault space suits came from there. So pleyadeans.
I was really hoping Starfield was Space Fallout thousands of years into the future in the fallout universe
I still hope the Hubologists made it to space and ran out of air and that we can visit their spaceship at some point
Delta eye ex?!
Roman numerals be like...
Funny I was thinking the same thing. No matter how well versed these youtubers seem to be they sometimes lack the fundamentals.
@@michaelk5676 also possible they somehow do not know American rockets as well, As there is a real life Delta series stopping at 4, Delta IV and Delta IV Heavy. the Heavy is a triple stick meaning for people not knowing their ULA vehicles it looks like a Falcon Heavy.
I'd agree about Outer Worlds.
It's lore really feels like a continuation of Fallout.
Valu 101 guy: oh! I’m kidnapped by aliens?
Cool, Let’s kill every set and and take over this ship and their home world.
I feel like it's also possible that the Zetans homeworld ISN'T like Earth, but they created a genetically modified organism to upload themselves into, or birth new embryos of themselves, in order to explore Earth without harm. Kinda like Keanu Reeves from The Day the Earth Stood Still
Would love to see a space station Vault in a future game
What if there’s a vault on the moon!!!? 😮 Vault 121.
Or Mars 🚀🛸🔭 👽🧑🏻🚀
Fun fact, Bethesda originally planned for Starfield to have its place in fallout cannon
Short answer: Republic of Dave space colonies
for those of us that go with MrHouse and colonize space just remember that the Zetans are our next challenge. Gonna be needing all the tech out of BIG MOUNTAIN to counter them but as long as we arent fighting the entire species all at nce it should be fine
would be pretty cool if there was a fallout game with a space enclave base or institution faction
