  • Come in Chosen One. There are things you must know. The village is dying the signs are everywhere. Withering crops. Dying Brahmin. Sick children. There is hope, however. A slim hope that few know of. The old disks speak of an item called the garden of Eden creation kit. It is said it can bring life to the wasteland. This will be your quest if you prove yourself worthy. For that proof you must first journey to the temple of trials. If you survive come back to me we will talk more. Our life is in your hands Chosen One. Prove yourself, find the GECK, be our salvation. At twenty years old The Chosen One was taken to the temples entrance where Klint the temples guardian made sure they wouldn’t leave without taking the mystic test. They had after all trained for this moment their entire life.
    Inside they found a strange corridor made of stone along with various obstacles they needed to beat. There were giant ants, radscorpions with venomous stingers, deadly floor traps and Cameron a tribal and expert in unarmed combat. While we don’t know how The Chosen One passed the test, they could have used any combination of skills, but in the very last room atop the stairs, They found The Vault Dwellers Jumpsuit, a relic of their grandfather’s, and with it they could prove to the elder that they were ready to be The tribe’s Champion. You have survived the temple of trials. Are you ready for your quest? Pay attention. Find the holy vault 13 and bring back the GECK. Vic, the trader from Klamath brought us the flask from the holy 13. Start your search with him. The disk will remind you of your task. may the gods of the vault watch over you.

      @bloodycrow01 5 місяців тому +4

      Honestly, as many of you likely have by now, having played fo1 and 2 on their corresponding years, I'd say chosen one is a good mix of strength and intelligence toppling the other protagonists, mainly because of his background being that of a tribal without many resources as other had.
      Vault dweller goes second simply because of what they achieved after living a lot of time relatively well in a vault, while lone wanderer goes third due to ALL the things he had to go through still taking in account his background as a veteran, which only makes him a more dangerous character than the others.
      Then comes the courier, while being in my second favorite game the courier always felt more of the embodiment of luck itself rather than the inventive or a highly skilled due to its background character, all of this taking into account ALL the adventures he had to go through on all dlcs.
      Though as far as games themselves go NV is vastly superior to the others since bugs aside it balanced out gameplay with roleplaying including an amazing story, would be amazing if bugthesda decided to check in with obsidian on remaking NV on a new engine, maybe something without glaring bugs as NV had, but I guess it also depends on what ppl rather play, isometrical wasn't bad in itself, but mindless 3rd person or 1P shooting is your thing while roleplaying then the later entries to fallout are the best.

      A real FO1-2 remake should be a turn based strategy game
      And optional modern engine for possible fps fallout
      Look fallout 3 was a banger, it sold new vagas 😂
      But thats cuz it was the first fps fallout. The appeal and story of 1-2 is paced for a strategy game/interactive movie
      It would take un godly skill to pull that pacing in a fps and not ruin it with cutscenes and interaction prompts

The structure of the way you explained the Dr's last moments is why I'm saying this; GREAT JOB I'm so glad I've seen every one of your videos.

    Some people think the Chosen One is No-Bark, I personally hate that theory, the idea that such a heroic badass would have become an insane old man is just such a horrid conclusion, they saved the entirity of the world, they deserve to be leading Arroyo into an age of prosperity as it looked such a beautiful city.

    This sort of neo-tribal societies that were forming after the apocalypse like the one the Chosen One came from were one of the more interesting things about the state of the wasteland to me in the first 2 games. I sort of wish it showed up more in the subsequent games, because it's an aspect of a post apocalyptic society that's potentially really interesting: people having to form completely new traditions, and societies and even beliefs from the blank slate. It's different than many of the factions we tend to deal with like the Brotherhood, the NCR, or even various settlements because they tend to still have a bit of an "echo" of the old world culture to them or at worst, are a twisted parody of it. It's one reason why the Legion in NV, as terrible as they were, were also such an interesting idea of a faction.

It would be amazing to see what they could do with the inclusion of cars in Fallout 5 or a spin off. You could street race with raiders and customize your car like in mafia 2. What if you could find rare vehicles and fix them up? It would make sense for people of the wasteland to have an extreme interest in cars, because anything pre war is so fascinating to them. This would also give an opportunity to have some really cool greaser factions. 😎 I hope this video does well you deserve it.
