The companions of fallout 4 would have fun responses. I think guage would be actually scared of it. Everyone else is creeped or amzed by it. Cait would love it. Strong would call it creepy puppet and wants to see if raiders are afraid of it. Piper would want an interview but decides against it. Valentine would be aware of its crimes and make note on its on slavers who report it. And so on
the best part is that we don't know if the vault puppet was controlled by the scientist ( that could watch him above the ceiling like in other gov sites it fallout ) or if its genuinely him losing his mind.
There's a third option that's even worse to consider. We know strange, eldritch things exist in Fallout's world. One of these things could be speaking to The Puppet Man through the Vault-Boy puppet.
In a way, I’m glad this story is left open ended, it’s a terrifying story about the horrors that is Vault-Tec, but adds more to the lore. As always, great video and keep them coming.
He's out there somewhere. There should be more clues that he's been around areas in the Bethesda titles. The odd improvised theatre at a makeshift camp, a couple of terminal entries written by puppets maybe.
Or the vault boy puppet sitting somewhere in a hut or something in the wastes like how the teddy bears and mannequins are positioned in ominous scenarios or places
This vault story is terrifying. Vault 77 and 108 are the scariest ones in my opinion. I mean it’s possible we might meet this maniac in the fifth game. Plus a lot of the Gary clones are scattered all over the east coast. The East Coast in the fallout universe is scary lol 😂.
@@timothyharris1125 I actually like how this is done. The East Coast being full of chaos and the West Coast is a little bit more built up. I really hope we see Texas & Alaska soon.
personally i think it would be much more interesting if they make fallout 5 take place in a different country like china or brazil hell even europe but probably not gonna happen till fallout 223
This requires a "Who is the mysterious stranger?" style followup video interrogating all the puppet related content in the series to find out where this dangerous dweller awaits.
This is hands down my absolute favorite vaults/ stories out of any fallout stuff. I really wish they one day add vault 77 and just mayyyybe a crumb of any more story or even the guy himself that would be so damn cool
I'm convinced he wasn't alone at all. But the Scientists were living in the Vault as well. Watching from behind the walls. Edit: Exactly like the set up in Vault 81 (Fallout 4) or any of the various Vaults that were run by an AI
I picture it like a vault 81 scenario. Experiment going on behind the scenes, guy just got unlucky and ended up being the one to be invited to the back entrance
I was wondering about this, what's the point of research if you cannot harvest the information? Does vault-tec have a central HQ still akin to the institute?
@@errantvice7335 Exactly! Since they're VT employees, I wouldn't be surprised if they were taking bets on when the unfortunate soul would lose his shit. Perhaps it was a Cabin in the Woods type bet, what will the wheel choose for the Scientist to drop? I could go on. It's fun to guess and imagine exactly what was going on
The interesting thing about Vault 77 is that (I’m pretty certain) in our world we know that this is what would happen. Possibly not the homicidal rage, but the human mind believing the puppets to be real after extended isolation. I’m sure we have multiple observable examples of this type of thing happening. Which makes me believe the world of Fallout would have those observable examples, which makes Vault 77 so much worse!
Hey man, I found your channel Randomly one day, and I’ve been hooked on your content. Please continue your work on all fall out lore! Everytime I hear your little intro sound, it brings me a little bit of joy Thank you
I could be wrong, but I seem to remember a mod that made a Vault Boy puppet "fist" that was a terrible weapon indeed. I'm wondering if the puppet went to the Dunwich Building.
So, something in relation the Puppet Man from Real Life, a scientific study was done in Japan during WWII where a Chinese man was locked into a small habitation (supposedly a repurposed bomb shelter) and was left with enough rations and water to survive for 6 months. 8 months later, the man was released, whereupon he immediately ran to a soldier, tackling him and killing him swiftly before pulling the man's sidearm off of his corpse and joining him in death. The speed and ferocity of this attack was said to have shocked some of the soldiers who were watching, some of whom had already fought in China and were familiar with warfare. Edit: I have never located an English translation of the old documents I once saw. The researcher who allowed me to read the case explained most of it to me, and it was the Infamous Unit 731 experiments, some of which are somewhat known today.
Unsuspecting player, or a player like me. Pick up everything and occasionally drop garbage out of my pockets when I get over encumbered "Oh that box looks like a hidden loot box, gonna grab that" push the loot all button Game: new quest: vault 77
If Tactics were canon, we could be sure that they had planned to keep track of all the Vaults, their status and Experiments from Vault 0. Just watching/hearing this stuff unfold and having enough entertainment material for a few hundred years, which would be like all of these reality TV-shows, but more extreme, deadly and most definitely more entertaining. But it's not confirmed or official in any way, hough it will definitely be my personal head canon for what they planned on doing.
@@kusipaa8683I mean in a game where aliens, ghosts and a Ebola lien crown that makes you immortal but insane with psychic powers and also makes your blood a serum that makes people immortal. Safe to say a evil puppet ghost isn’t that weird for the world of fallout
Since the Puppet Man next after about a year or so after the bombs dropped, it's likely that he died long before the events of any fallout game except for Fallout 76. If so, he would most likely be an old man who hunts slavers in the wasteland, willingly or not if the vault boy puppet really is possessed by a Dulwich entity
fantastic coverage ! adore this vault story; really hope to see either the dweller or the puppet again someday having the number 77 you'd think either of them would have higher luck- or is it lucky they survived as they did ? or did this vault dweller just have the wild wasteland perk without knowing-
Very late but it’d be cool to see this character in 5 as a companion. He could serve as the “evil” follower and he’d just be very cool to have around I love this story
"And worst of all, The Puppet Man could be any one of us." "He could be in this very comment section!" "He could be you." "He could be me." "He could even be *Right Behind You."*
My headcanon is that Vault 77 was just as well stocked and perfectly liveable as other control Vaults. Therefore: 1.) A group of survivors find Vault 77, and create a community there. The legend of the Puppet Man scares raiders, so they perpetuate it to keep safe. 2.) The Brotherhood finds the Vault and use it for their own purposes.
I think it'd be a really fun nod to this story if, in Fallout 5, we can find either him, or his puppet and the puppet is a legendary unarmed weapon that speaks to the player.
Would love for him to be a random encounter with a 50/50 chance of being hostile. If he's friendly: you can talk to him and have constant speech cheeks to keep him friendly. If hes hostile: you can check the puppet to see some Device that insects the wearer with a new form of long lasting psycho. Loot: -vaul 77 jumper: Chems have extra strong effects on the wearer -vaultboy handpuppet: powerfist that injects enemies with every hit (you can change the effect with science skills and the lab table)
So did the Penny Arcade comic come first and that was an easter egg in the game, or did they write the comic as a backstory to the mysterious jumpsuit??
There's a theory Fallout 3 was originally set 20 years after the great war, not 200, and this is why there's food everywhere, chinese remnants, Gary clones etc. But they didn't fix everything when the year changed, so there's weird things like the puppet man interacting with paradise falls
Imagine if they had a melee weapon that was a Vault-Boy puppet. You could continue the Puppet-Man's rampage wearing that 77 Jumpsuit. Slavers will run away as soon as you're visible screaming "It's them! It's the Puppet-Man!" Would be a cool mod.
Funny concept on paper but when put into practice it's genuinely disturbing. Plus they made vault capable of fitting hundreds of people. But instead of saving people from the bombs, they used it for an experiment
Vault 69 poor bloke made it through about 30 of the lasses but in 31 he met the thick woman and thus he died of cardiac arrest the man! The myth! The legend!
Imagine a Fallout game where you cant found a puppet and IT actually would wisper to you. Trying to convince you to kill numerous NPC's or even his own sidequest. Imagine medical PA from Fallout 3 but bigger and better.
I have no idea why, but i always think it's just the man himself manifesting a deep evil within himself due to isolation for so long it's really... Sketchy
I always thought that the puppet man ended up with 2 personalities one just him and the other him thinking that the vault puppet is alive and controlling him making what to do but idk
I feel you should make a series where you go over the lore of the companions from the different games videos on Marcus charon Boone nick valentine you could do a video on both John Cassidy and rose of Sharon Cassidy
he survive a year alone no tv, movie, games to keep him sane, i will be insane without any entertainment for a year alone like that, good thing vault tec give him the puppets, and about opening the vault, i don't think the puppet nor the guy did it, because i think the vault got auto open once it's cleared out of radiation right? (if i remember correctly there is a vault that got this system is it vault 3 or 11? please correct me if i'm wrong)
Vault Puppet could be a legendary yet comical power fist.
Should be like the Medic Power Armor or Stealth Suit Mk.II and occasionally whisper to the player while it's drawn
Wild Wasteland item
"Cmon blue lemme just kill one"

Everytime a video on this channel drops I specifically take time out of my day to watch it in peace.
Great work.
"What if we did a vult with 20 men and 10 women to see what would happen?"
"Eh. Kinda boring, isn't it?"
"Throw in a fucking panther lmao"
The residents ended up domesticating the Panther and it became the vault mascot, that's what I think happened

Finding that puppet in the next Fallout game will trigger a quest similar to finding Meridia's beacon in Skyrim.

Vault 69.
One thousand women, one man.
Vault-Tec had a sense of humor, at least.

"Helloooo ladies,,,"😁👍

They were ran by AI recording the results or like in FO76 there's walls and ceilings only the scientists can see thru to observe everything.

Why?

"Listen bubbles... you just remember whos calling the shots here!!!"
That’ll be hell forreal 😂
Patrick Swayze.
General Attis and the “Secret Vault” would be cool to cover.

damn, demon vaultboy puppets, sounds like a great mob idea

or did this vault dweller just have the wild wasteland perk without knowing-
Have you ever heard the tale of The Puppet Man? I thought not. It’s not a story the Overseer would tell you…
Dude your lore videos are fascinating
Who would win? The entire Brotherhood of Steel or the Puppet Man?
Omg, what would a Silent Hill-esque Fallout be like? And you're playing the lone BoS wanderer...
Even if I know the topic, I just open the video to hear from you again. Keep up my man!
We need more vaults in the Fallout series! Straight up!
“Reverend hound, a man of the cloth” said so seriously 😂😂
Well this is a terrifying story…
Keep up the good work!

Great video! I didn't know they canonized him.
God I love this dang channel! Could I recommend a nuka cola episode?? Ik it’s a big topic I’ve just always been so intrigued by the possible lore

"As for what happened to the puppet man, we don't know."

You never really know what one is capable of until they are pushed enough
such a huge departure from the original intention of the Vault experiments.
