Scott Bennie, the man who created both Dogmeat and The Mysterious Stranger, passed away in March of last year. I really hope Fallout 5 with find some way to honor him. Though, he had said in the past he would not want any statues.
@@RagaGearforever5 Honestly I have been goofing around on fallout 76 with my friends just to try it out and it's actually pretty decent now and very populated after all the updates/fixes plus the hype from the show. I was very surprised and genuinely have had fun playing it. Just putting that out there
@@Gothtides I'm not saying it's a bad game at all. The thing is that they haven't announced a whole new Fallout game because 76 taking all the spotlight from Bethesda. Same as elder scrolls 6 taking so long thanks to elder scrolls online being the main target in that department.
In 4 he's definitely a Synth. "Pre-War dog waiting just down the road from the Vault and the only two people he canonically knows are the Sole Survivor and the only Institute asset who can be proudly and vocally Synth". Too good to be true.
@@kingofthegrill It's weird because Preston and the gang react to Dogmeat because they sent it there to get help, but then why would Nick know Dogmeat anyways???
@@marsmonke4160 Nick is a confirmed Synth, Sturges is a confirmed Synth, Preston only exists as a character to give you side quests and he's unkillable, it ain't looking good for Dogmeat
Fun Fact: The mysterious stranger in Fallout 76 changes again. In the last game, Fallout 4, the mysterious stranger was a cold hearted invincible gunslinger with perfect aim. In Fallout 76, he has the accuracy of a stormtrooper with an eye patch on, and he runs away from anything 2 feet taller than him.
Ha! Well canonically he's had 1-200 years to practice by the time of Fallout 4 ;) But yes his aim, past the first target is garbage. He is good at distracting enemies though!
Absolutely. 100% agree. I wasn't going to kill him at all. Til he kept insisting, and the whacked out tree tribals were never going to do it for him. He pointed out he was basically in constant pain. Then I realised if I left him ,left him alone to live. Who knows how long he would have to live in pain. As his species is unique, and well trees can live over a 1000 yrs sometimes. So granted his wish. The quickest merciful death I could give. Straight to the heart ,the one he suggested if I remember, but its years since I played that game.
In Broken Steel Madison Lee is already gone, and the other NPCs from her team will tell you she left for the Commonwealth. Together with the "Replicated Man" quest this sets up the events of Fallout 4 quite well.
@@ryndaman2855 Fallout 4 mentions a good few cities. I think Chicago would be a good setting imo and is referred to a few times, Nick Valentine being linked to there and other lore mentioned Enclave and Brotherhood presences there at some point.
I really want Pickman to return in Fallout 5. But more than that, I want him to have undergone Ghoulification in the time between Fallout’s 4 and 5. That would just fit with his inspiration almost to perfectly. For the unfamiliar Pickman was inspired by a character from Pickman’s Model by HP Lovecraft named Pickman who is revealed in the end to actually be a Ghoul. I also want Ghoul Pickman to be a follower.
Not all Dogmeats are different. The one in Fallout 2 is the same one from Fallout 1, but he's there as a non-canon easter egg, since that cafe is like a gallery of the past.
The dog meat in Fallout 1 dies by running into a force field. If I remember correctly, the vault dweller lost both Ian (my favorite companion in the series) as well as dogmeat that day.
@@rawrdino7046 So who is the dogmeat in Fo3? Same breed as the original dogmeat, which is an Australian cattle dog, or blue heeler at least. I can't take a German Sheperd seriously as dogmeat. Dog Meat is the same breed as Mad Max's dog. The blue heeler. Thats the "O.G" dogmeat. The German Shepherd dogmeat must be one of his great grand kids down the line whose parents were German Shepherd's or related to Shepherds, or something like that .
One character I'd like to see brought back is Ulysses. The dude could tell stories that rival the Courier's, and I get to see his badass duster in a high-definition rendition.

I technically played Fallout 3, but I didn't really get into the series until New Vegas. There were definitely times when I ran into characters where I was like, "Yeah, the game definitely expects me to know this character from a previous game."

My headcanon is that all the Dogmeats are a giant family of various dogs Originating from a vault, as they seem a lot less affected by mutations despite being around for Generations. The vault probably is a dog breeding vault trying to make a "Superdog", and they release a few every now and then as part of the experiment or something edit: grammar
@@wildghoul7485 im glad you think so! It also works given what vault-tech had the experiments for, having a genetically perfect super breed would be pretty useful for them
I'm pretty aure at least according to the fallout bible (only really cannon for 1&2 and even then a lot has been reconned through future releases) however it says og dogmeat basically fucked himself ( his bloodline) across the wastes so it's a little more true then you think
The Mysterious Stranger's son is in New Vegas, I think you missed that. He's an NPC called the Lonesome Drifter and his dialogue pretty much confirms that he's in fact his son. He has a revolver that you can get from him that plays the Stranger's music when drawn and holstered.
But Super Mutants are the the product of the FEV, Forced Evolutionary Virus was used by the Master to Create the first 2 generations of the Super Mutants, as Well as the NightKin various strains of the Virus are also responsible for the behemots, Fire ants and the Commowealth Supermutants, which so far proved to be the only super mutants on which the effects of the virus can actually be reversed...

Quick correction. Dr. Li doesn't stay with the Brotherhood for the rest of Fallout 3. She's absent during Broken Steel, and if you talk to the unnamed scientists at Project Purity, they'll mention she left for the Commonwealth. Also you left out the Mysterious Stranger's son in NV when you said that no other character has acknowledged his existence. But. You are fucking hilarious so you got my sub.
@@Pattyrick Actually I think this commenter is wrong and you are correct. Because it's only heavily implied that the mysterious stranger is his dad and it's not stated as fact.
@@nurgle-j5n I mean, it's so implied that you'd have to be intentionally not understanding that the producers directly intended it to be the Mysterious Stranger. He makes it a point to mention his father was "mysterious" who felt like a "stranger" and then gives you a gun called the Mysterious Magnum the Mysterious Stranger uses that makes the same noise that it makes when the Mysterious Stranger appears. Josh Sawyer also says the Lonesome Drifter was his son. Nick isn't the only character who acknowledges the existence of the Stranger, even if his son doesn't know him as "the Mysterious Stranger."
I like how Worf from Star Trek voices Marcus. I would really REALLY like a new Fallout game that takes place almost immediately after the bombs dropped, playing through the fierce chaos that followed.
I think it was in New Vegas, but you can meet a NPC that says his dad was a never around growing up, but always loved helping people and was real mysterious.
Though Harold looks superficially like a ghoul, he's actually an FEV mutant like the Master and supermutants. Bob is never really explained, but in my headcanon Harold had some trail mix in his pocket when he was exposed.
One of my favorite things about Sierra is the fact that they (the Nuka World raiders) just...let her wonder around searching for stuff. They don't lock her up or shoot her or force her to look, they just leave her be
When I clicked on this video I thought it was going to be a WatchMojo-esque styled video and I was so happy I was wrong. I love the editing and your hilarious commentary added into it. Definitely subscribing!
Nicely Crafted Video, I do wish if The talking deathclaws from FO2 made a comeback. They were very interesting. Plus, having a freaking deathclaw as a companion was hella badass.
I don’t know your qualifications for reappearing characters, but there are some incredibly minor characters in Fallout 4 mentioned in terminals and holotapes that reappear in Fallout 76. That being Shannon Rivers (actress for the Mistress of Mystery), Elliot Manfield (main actor in Invaders From Beyond Our Galaxy), and Del Wash (a paramedic in Nuka World).
Kind of hoped Nick Valentine and/or Hancock would/will come back ngl. 😔 Both characters backstories and roles are very interesting and would most definitely play an interesting part imo, but ofc some things must come to an end I suppose
If FO5 takes place in Chicago, we may run into either Nick Valentine or Kellogg again. Nick Valentine, well... We know that the *ORIGINAL* Nick Valentine was a detective in Chicago in search of a man named Eddie Winter. As for Kellogg, we could see his progression in making his way toward the east or perhaps the Commonwealth. It's possible that we could have him as a temporary companion for a side quest in which we have to kill a raider or a gang member of some sort.
@@stunnaremy That’s only possible if Fo5 takes place before Fo4, which is unlikely since all the mainline Fallout games have been in chronological order.
One flaw. Harold also appears in Fallout Tactics as a recruit about midway through the game. You can play him for the rest of the game, and he's pretty kick-ass.
You missed one (kind of). I don’t remember if you actually meet her in fallout 2 but in fallout 2 there’s a crashed vertibird that everyone says was piloted by daisy whitman, who you later meet in new Vegas in novac.
Although Fallout: New Vegas doesn't have a Dogmeat "out of the box", there are (many, many) mods that add dog companions. But probably the best implementation of this is New Vegas Bounties II, which adds a completely by-the-way-ish dog companion named Guts who (much like the original Dogmeat) you find standing vigil over his dead owner.
13:00 you’re wrong. The mysterious stranger wasn’t directly mentioned in New Vegas, but if you talk to the Lonesome Drifter, he hints that he never met his dad and he was quite “mysterious”. And if you kill him OR complete his unmarked quest which requires you to go to the Tops casino before you talk to him you can tell him that he can play his guitar at the Tops and he will give you his Mysterious Magnum. Pretty interesting.
I just discovered this channel and I am laughing my ass off. The way this guy explain stuff is hilarious. As a fallout fan i am definetly subscribing! Keep it up
i often wonder what the other lone wanderers are doing during the actions of another fallout game, either digging graves and taking names, or testing the fall damage and ceasing to exist
Madison Li being with the Institute would've been perfectly fine... IF Bethesda ever actually gave the Institute a goal besides "cut all ties with the surface." Like... why the hell are they even building synths or spreading super mutants?? It's never explained! They claim it's all for the greater good, but the writers forgot to specify what that "good" even is!
On the point of Dogmeat, don't forget that the Bethesda original Fallout stories (3 and 4) are on the opposing coast to the other games (east vs west), and even with divine protection, that's quite the trek for a dog to take on unassisted.
i've played fallout 3 and fallout 4 but some of these characters i didn't even know were returning so thank you for the knowledge, now my next playthrough's are gonna be even more hype
In Fallout 4 some of the feral dogs you encounter have collars on her necks, so I concluded that dogs can be ghoulified in the Fallout universe. They have shown ghoul gorillas (ghoulrillas) in the Nuka World DLC, Yao-Guai’s are ghoul bears
I truly enjoyed the video and I really respect the effort you've put into this video. And ofcourse, the presentation is perfect. I do have a small request. Please make a NV challenge video where you beat the game only with a knife as weapon. Challenge vids like that will surely pop out your channel.
If memory serves somewhere there is a journal of the protagonist of Fallout 1. As far as I remember it states that in the canon dogmeat actually ran into a laser wall in the masters bunker at the end and died.
I don't usually comment, but great video brother. I hope school has been manageable at least. Once you're out, it will feel surreal. Just keep going man, no fear
The way this is edited and narrated are so like an old style yt video from 10-13 years ago. The only thing preventing me from believing this is from 2010s yt are the recent humor and games 😭 great video!
Maxson really isn't as bad as people make him out to be. Once you dive a bit deeper you actually find he's a pretty big reformer in the BoS. Elder Lyons was basically rogue, and the rest of the brotherhood treated him as such, and many of his own subordinates (brotherhood outcasts) left the order because of how unpopular he was. What Arthur Maxson has done, however, is he's reunited the brotherhood _and_ he's managed to marry Lyons' ideals with those of the rest of the Brotherhood. It doesn't come across very clearly, but it's a pretty big ideological shift in the entirety of the brotherhood. Mainline BoS pre-Arthur Maxson: - Searches for technology to keep it out of the hands of everyone else - Believes that they deserve this technology because they are better than everyone else - Doesn't trust outsiders and doesn't let them join the BoS - Will kill anyone who opposes them or stands in their way - Hates ghouls and mutants because they're different from humans - Doesn't care about other people or their problems Entirety of the brotherhood after Arthur Maxson takes over: - Searches for technology to preserve it for the future and keep the more dangerous things out of the hands of people who might misuse it, but also allows other people to have a bunch of technology that isn't super dangerous - Believes that they need to keep the most dangerous technology out of use because it might destroy humanity like nuclear weapons did - Is somewhat wary of outsiders, but also actively recruits new people and actively maintains order by killing supermutants and bandits - Are only aggressive towards things and people that are actually dangerous - Hates feral ghouls, super mutants and synths because they are inherently dangerous to humans - Do care about other people, and genuinely wants to help and protect humanity as a whole, even if their methods to do so can be extreme What Maxson has effectively done is make Lyons' ideals palatable to the rest of the brotherhood. And given he is only 20 years old, he'll likely mellow in the extremes with age and continue reforming the BoS if allowed to do so.
Modern westerners are so braindead and brain*washed* that they think "he's a bigot!" outweighs literally any action or personality, positive or negative.
@@fuckinantipope5511 "Synths aren't dangerous". Riiight, they just kill people on command and can be programmed to do whatever someone wants. And they're faster and stronger than normal humans. Also, where in Fallout 4 does the BoS kill a single non-feral ghoul? They seem to be fine letting Hancock walk around on Prydwen.
@@wardeni4806 but the "civilian" synths aren't. They just wanna live their lifes. And they are openly hostile towards non-feral ghouls and insult Hancock. They just let him pass because he's with the Sole Survivor. If Hancock was alone, he'd be blasted
Dogmeat is based off the Bluehealer in Mad Max yet is usually designed after a German Shepherd both make great guard dogs just German Shepherds are more imposing
I find it really funny how the Stranger in Fallout 3 and New Vegas totally unloads the revolver on the targeted enemy despite one bullet being quite overkill considering the damage it deals

But. You are fucking hilarious so you got my sub.
I try to avoid lore videos because I always get little details like this wrong, thank you for clarifying tho!
@@Pattyrick Actually I think this commenter is wrong and you are correct. Because it's only heavily implied that the mysterious stranger is his dad and it's not stated as fact.
@@nurgle-j5n I mean, it's so implied that you'd have to be intentionally not understanding that the producers directly intended it to be the Mysterious Stranger. He makes it a point to mention his father was "mysterious" who felt like a "stranger" and then gives you a gun called the Mysterious Magnum the Mysterious Stranger uses that makes the same noise that it makes when the Mysterious Stranger appears. Josh Sawyer also says the Lonesome Drifter was his son. Nick isn't the only character who acknowledges the existence of the Stranger, even if his son doesn't know him as "the Mysterious Stranger."
@@totallytubular618 it’s implied yes but in dialogue you can also imply that you (the courier) is possibly his father too so….
There is a case file in Valentine detective agency office that speaks openly about the stranger
If Preston Garvey doesn’t return to give me annoying settlement quests I’m never playing a fallout game again
i wish there were more references to the original 2 games
Wish Set made it back
@@ernestoacosta7918 Set had a cool design.
Crashed fallout 2 car in new vegas with wild wasteland
Daisy Whitman who you meet in new Vegas was the pilot of the crashed vertibird outside one of the towns in fallout 2
Aradesh is mentioned in Fallout 4.
I like how Worf from Star Trek voices Marcus.
I would really REALLY like a new Fallout game that takes place almost immediately after the bombs dropped, playing through the fierce chaos that followed.
He also voiced Frank Horrigan in 2
I thought I recognised that voice. Worf is gold.
Closest in the timeline to that is fallout 76
Or the beginning of Fallout 4, but I don’t count that as anything but a glorified cutscene.
Odo voices Mr House
that man harold was goin through it man
Yeah, poor dude.
I think it was in New Vegas, but you can meet a NPC that says his dad was a never around growing up, but always loved helping people and was real mysterious.
Though Harold looks superficially like a ghoul, he's actually an FEV mutant like the Master and supermutants. Bob is never really explained, but in my headcanon Harold had some trail mix in his pocket when he was exposed.
technically ghouls are fev mutants too
One of my favorite things about Sierra is the fact that they (the Nuka World raiders) just...let her wonder around searching for stuff. They don't lock her up or shoot her or force her to look, they just leave her be
I've seen theories that fallout nv's No-Bark Noonan could be fallout 1's Vault Dweller, thst would honestly be more fitting than BoS's rendition 💀
I think you mean Fallout 2's The Chosen One
When I clicked on this video I thought it was going to be a WatchMojo-esque styled video and I was so happy I was wrong. I love the editing and your hilarious commentary added into it.
Definitely subscribing!
I love the old youtube feel of this
Nicely Crafted Video, I do wish if The talking deathclaws from FO2 made a comeback. They were very interesting. Plus, having a freaking deathclaw as a companion was hella badass.
I really want to see what happened with Veronica in the future.
I wish she's in Fallout 5 even with Maccready
Same but with all of the companions.
Shame Bethesda refuses to acknowledge New Vegas
@@rawrdino7046
They do, they just leave the west coast to obsidian.
@@rawrdino7046 What do you mean? They make a few references here and there. One of the Far Harbor characters brings up Vera Keyes for instance.
I don’t know your qualifications for reappearing characters, but there are some incredibly minor characters in Fallout 4 mentioned in terminals and holotapes that reappear in Fallout 76.
That being Shannon Rivers (actress for the Mistress of Mystery), Elliot Manfield (main actor in Invaders From Beyond Our Galaxy), and Del Wash (a paramedic in Nuka World).
Fallout 76 should be forgotten. It makes fallout 4 look like a good game.
@@stevovimy Still more RPG than 4
Well you see, he's just a dude that copies lists offline and misses a good deal of details. 100k views, not even 10% the interaction.
Nice tidbit of information there!
@@stevovimy Fallout 4 is a good game. A fantastic game, even. It's just not a good Fallout game.
Kind of hoped Nick Valentine and/or Hancock would/will come back ngl. 😔 Both characters backstories and roles are very interesting and would most definitely play an interesting part imo, but ofc some things must come to an end I suppose
If FO5 takes place in Chicago, we may run into either Nick Valentine or Kellogg again. Nick Valentine, well... We know that the *ORIGINAL* Nick Valentine was a detective in Chicago in search of a man named Eddie Winter. As for Kellogg, we could see his progression in making his way toward the east or perhaps the Commonwealth. It's possible that we could have him as a temporary companion for a side quest in which we have to kill a raider or a gang member of some sort.
Why are you saying it as if they definitely won't?
@@stunnaremy That’s only possible if Fo5 takes place before Fo4, which is unlikely since all the mainline Fallout games have been in chronological order.
It would make sense for atleast valentine like maybe he went on a investigation in the area fallout 5 takes place and we stumble upon him or something
13:57 my favourite quote in Fallout 4. Good Ol’ Nicky, that bucket of bolts, got to love his sarcasm.
One flaw. Harold also appears in Fallout Tactics as a recruit about midway through the game. You can play him for the rest of the game, and he's pretty kick-ass.
2:53 what your phone sees when a kid asks "have you any games on your phone?"
You missed one (kind of). I don’t remember if you actually meet her in fallout 2 but in fallout 2 there’s a crashed vertibird that everyone says was piloted by daisy whitman, who you later meet in new Vegas in novac.
Super underrated, thanks for the clear, funny and concise list lol
Idk why exactly, but I swear this is the only fallout video I’ve seen where the commentator has an ounce of joy in their voice
a lot of them have been doing this for years so they are burnt out, that's probably why. I've only been posting actual videos for about a year!
Although Fallout: New Vegas doesn't have a Dogmeat "out of the box", there are (many, many) mods that add dog companions. But probably the best implementation of this is New Vegas Bounties II, which adds a completely by-the-way-ish dog companion named Guts who (much like the original Dogmeat) you find standing vigil over his dead owner.
Rex is superior to dogmeat
I like to believe Dogmeat is the same dog, but he’s an immortal mutant from before the war.
Don't apologize for a lack of uploads - _apologize for what you did to Harold_
13:00 you’re wrong. The mysterious stranger wasn’t directly mentioned in New Vegas, but if you talk to the Lonesome Drifter, he hints that he never met his dad and he was quite “mysterious”. And if you kill him OR complete his unmarked quest which requires you to go to the Tops casino before you talk to him you can tell him that he can play his guitar at the Tops and he will give you his Mysterious Magnum. Pretty interesting.
I just discovered this channel and I am laughing my ass off. The way this guy explain stuff is hilarious. As a fallout fan i am definetly subscribing! Keep it up
Thank you dude!
I like to think that doc Henry and Marcus met when the chosen one traveled to the ncr with Marcus, and eventually Marcus and Henry left for the Mojave
This video was awesome love your commentary Marry Xmas
Thank you! Merry Xmas to you too!
i often wonder what the other lone wanderers are doing during the actions of another fallout game, either digging graves and taking names, or testing the fall damage and ceasing to exist
Madison Li being with the Institute would've been perfectly fine... IF Bethesda ever actually gave the Institute a goal besides "cut all ties with the surface."
Like... why the hell are they even building synths or spreading super mutants?? It's never explained! They claim it's all for the greater good, but the writers forgot to specify what that "good" even is!
On the point of Dogmeat, don't forget that the Bethesda original Fallout stories (3 and 4) are on the opposing coast to the other games (east vs west), and even with divine protection, that's quite the trek for a dog to take on unassisted.
Well, actually New Vegas has female version of Stranger called Miss Fortune. I think you should mention that.
Isn’t Miss Fortune considered a different character tho? Specially because they both have different perks?
Yeah but she's not a recurring character
Your Voice and your Mic really suite you being a fallout youtuber, I feel immersed just listening to you speak
Gay
@@dillhole2800 lets make out
Thank you for this !
You’re also hilarious dude and your editing is dope!
I appreciate that! Thank you!
i've played fallout 3 and fallout 4 but some of these characters i didn't even know were returning so thank you for the knowledge, now my next playthrough's are gonna be even more hype
@Plain Water new vegas is goated, i've played new vegas too :) (don't know why i forgot to add that one lol)
In Fallout 4 some of the feral dogs you encounter have collars on her necks, so I concluded that dogs can be ghoulified in the Fallout universe. They have shown ghoul gorillas (ghoulrillas) in the Nuka World DLC, Yao-Guai’s are ghoul bears
Okay, but the introduction for Maxson in this video is really funny.
Honorary mention to Ian. His concept was planned but cut, then restored in Fallout 2 :)
damn the earrape at :52 for no reason really killed my vibe
I truly enjoyed the video and I really respect the effort you've put into this video. And ofcourse, the presentation is perfect. I do have a small request. Please make a NV challenge video where you beat the game only with a knife as weapon. Challenge vids like that will surely pop out your channel.
I was actually thinking of doing something like that in the future!
whenever i know a fallout video has harold in it, im giddy with anticipation knowing im going to get to hear the classic wail of pain. 18:48
loved the video, commentary, editing, and humor !
Thanks for this video recently been getting into the lore recently for no apparent reason
Honorable mention but technically not an appearance; Aradesh (Tandi's father) is mentioned in a radio broadcast in Fallout 4.
A very very nice detail that i found in fo3 and fo4 is some "easter eggs" or mentions about vault 76 and it main characteristics
Unrelated but god I love siding with the brotherhood in fallout 4. It lets me channel my inner space marine.
I always enjoy building the nearby settlement as a brotherhood township - and I give all the settlers suits taken from fallen pilots or troopers.
If memory serves somewhere there is a journal of the protagonist of Fallout 1. As far as I remember it states that in the canon dogmeat actually ran into a laser wall in the masters bunker at the end and died.
I don't usually comment, but great video brother. I hope school has been manageable at least. Once you're out, it will feel surreal. Just keep going man, no fear
I'm sure it will! Thank you for the encouragement!
You give off samonella vibes which is a major compliment, great video
7:32 dogmeats owner is a reference to madmax 2 and the owner looks like max rockatansky
I like how this vídeo looks 7 years old
I hope they put Piper in 5, she's probably my favorite character in the Fallout series
Dude misspelled penetrate at the beginning even though it was literally on screen. Best video I've ever seen
Whoops 😅
Lots of personality in this video. Made for a good time keep it up👍
The outro feels so peaceful and calming…
12:05 the game never let me do that
18:14 he wasn't overwhelmed by it, he fell asleep making him stay in the same spot for a day and that's when he rooted into the ground
PAT YOU FINALLY UPLOADED IT YAYYYY
AFTER LIKE 2 MONTHS YES
my head canon is that dogmeat is just a immortal dog
I put this on to fall asleep to, thanks for the nice relaxing tune at 45 seconds in 😭
Glad I could lull you to sleep lol
The way this is edited and narrated are so like an old style yt video from 10-13 years ago. The only thing preventing me from believing this is from 2010s yt are the recent humor and games 😭 great video!
9:14 Mama murphy reacts to Dogmeat line it is a Mystical Creature. Maybe it is the same dog
Maxson really isn't as bad as people make him out to be. Once you dive a bit deeper you actually find he's a pretty big reformer in the BoS. Elder Lyons was basically rogue, and the rest of the brotherhood treated him as such, and many of his own subordinates (brotherhood outcasts) left the order because of how unpopular he was. What Arthur Maxson has done, however, is he's reunited the brotherhood _and_ he's managed to marry Lyons' ideals with those of the rest of the Brotherhood. It doesn't come across very clearly, but it's a pretty big ideological shift in the entirety of the brotherhood.
Mainline BoS pre-Arthur Maxson:
- Searches for technology to keep it out of the hands of everyone else
- Believes that they deserve this technology because they are better than everyone else
- Doesn't trust outsiders and doesn't let them join the BoS
- Will kill anyone who opposes them or stands in their way
- Hates ghouls and mutants because they're different from humans
- Doesn't care about other people or their problems
Entirety of the brotherhood after Arthur Maxson takes over:
- Searches for technology to preserve it for the future and keep the more dangerous things out of the hands of people who might misuse it, but also allows other people to have a bunch of technology that isn't super dangerous
- Believes that they need to keep the most dangerous technology out of use because it might destroy humanity like nuclear weapons did
- Is somewhat wary of outsiders, but also actively recruits new people and actively maintains order by killing supermutants and bandits
- Are only aggressive towards things and people that are actually dangerous
- Hates feral ghouls, super mutants and synths because they are inherently dangerous to humans
- Do care about other people, and genuinely wants to help and protect humanity as a whole, even if their methods to do so can be extreme
What Maxson has effectively done is make Lyons' ideals palatable to the rest of the brotherhood. And given he is only 20 years old, he'll likely mellow in the extremes with age and continue reforming the BoS if allowed to do so.
Modern westerners are so braindead and brain*washed* that they think "he's a bigot!" outweighs literally any action or personality, positive or negative.
He also gives you shit for bringing a ghoul onboard if you bring Hancock.
Synths aren't dangerous and non-feral ghouls are still killed by them. Maxson is still a moron and I love blowing him and the Prydwen up
@@fuckinantipope5511 "Synths aren't dangerous". Riiight, they just kill people on command and can be programmed to do whatever someone wants. And they're faster and stronger than normal humans. Also, where in Fallout 4 does the BoS kill a single non-feral ghoul? They seem to be fine letting Hancock walk around on Prydwen.
@@wardeni4806 but the "civilian" synths aren't. They just wanna live their lifes.
And they are openly hostile towards non-feral ghouls and insult Hancock. They just let him pass because he's with the Sole Survivor. If Hancock was alone, he'd be blasted
Dude this is some really good content! I love the balance between it being informative as well as a shitpost.
Dogmeat is based off the Bluehealer in Mad Max yet is usually designed after a German Shepherd both make great guard dogs just German Shepherds are more imposing
I find it really funny how the Stranger in Fallout 3 and New Vegas totally unloads the revolver on the targeted enemy despite one bullet being quite overkill considering the damage it deals
I thought this was going to interesting until the stupidity started
6:36 the delivery of “cyber dogs” was so funny to me 😂
In fallout 4 I did the liberty prime quest and I didn’t want to follow it the entire way to the Institute so I wanted to see what happened if I fast traveled there. It turns out you can skip the whole following Liberty Prime part of the quest if you just fast travel there. Lol
I will definitely do this next time I have to do that quest
9:35 my favourite settlement, if you have the children’s perk or whatever it’s called, the kids won’t be mean to you.
2:19 uhh based maxson
I always thought it was ironic how the brotherhood reeeeeeeaaaally hates robots yet they cream their pants anytime liberty prime is mentioned
The video and audio have real early 2000s vibes to them, nostalgic, great vid.
This guy has a PhD in segues.
Im genuinely glad i found this channel
