    "So, you took all the time building this settlement from scratch?"
    "Yeah, I built a house, planted crops, and had a mutated 2 headed cow for pet."
    "But you didn't take a minute to move that skeleton from your doorstep?"
    "I think it looks cool."

    There's a mod for Fallout 4 called PTSD Mental Health Management. Its really cool and fits Lore-wise with a survivor. At times, mid-game in the middle of nowhere (or even a crowded city) you can hear the same sound of the nuke dropping or Shaun crying. You have to manage SS's mental health in various ways, but it really adds immersion to a character with so much canon trauma. If your playing as Nate, a war vet, it would just make even more sense for him to have excess PTSD

    I had Capgras as a child. If I lost sight of my parents in a store, then there was DEFINITELY identical strangers posing as them who found me and took me home to assume our lives. Never did find out what happened to my parents, but the replacement parents were nice....

      I'm not sure if I had Capgras but when I was younger, when my parents would act out of character, I used to think that they were actually secret agents that were assigned to me. I even thought that they didn't love me and that it was just a façade.
      I stopped believing that though when they kept on showing pictures of my sister and I shortly after we were born.

    • @efulmer8675
      @efulmer8675 4 роки тому +21

      A significant problem of a person suffering from Capgras or any kind of 'conspiracy' type thinking is that it can be defeated by rigorous application of logic or a reductio ad absurdum, except that it's really easy to defeat such a logic argument and it can be repeated as many times as necessary: The person trying to help is part of the conspiracy. Simple. That friend you've had all your life? Replaced. Mom? Dead. Dad? Replaced. Helpful smiling doctor prescribing you proven helpful drugs? Secret agent of the government. Oh, hey, that guy over there preaching the moon landing conspiracy that the government covered it all up? Yeah that sounds familiar, everyone is out to get me, I can trust him.
      Except, any reductio ad absurdum applied to any conspiracy larger than your friend group conspiring for your birthday surprise rapidly requires a tremendous number of people and at some point, a person who does not have this issue could apply Occam's Razor and say, "No, that's too ridiculous for me," which may not be possible or easy for a person suffering from Capgras. It's why arguing with a conspiracy theorist usually makes the problem worse.

    The Fallout universe doesn't have colour TV because that's where our timeline splits from Fallout's timeline where they put all their money and research into war, meaning things like the transistor and other amazing machines weren't invented meaning things would be completely differently such as colour TV.

    For anyone still reading comments 3 weeks after this video was uploaded, I have something to say. As someone who has spent their entire adult life making youtube videos, (Creator since 2006). I know how hard it is to continually churn out content week after week. It's difficult to spend time researching game after game, figuring out the tiny details, discovering the secrets, and then translating that in an entertaining way to a large audience. I may have never had the amount of viewers Mat Pat has achieved, but I know how disheartening it is when you mess up on a tiny thing and people blow it out of proportion. Mat Pat has worked for years to bring you all free entertainment. He can't possibly know everything about a game series. Everyone who is on his case about the Interplay/Bethesda debacle needs to settle down. If you can't watch his videos anymore because a man made a simple mistake, then you need to check yourself.

    Matpat, theres some concerns with this theory. I doubt you'll ever read it but I feel i must share.
    1) The whole idea of Scizophrenia being within almost all the current citizens of the wasteland is rediculous xD While perhaps the first generation of humans during when the bombs fell, would possibly have this, were now 200 years into the future, so if we say the "average" lifespan is 80 years due to time advancing and general reduction of the human life span, (also barring untimely death via raider, Brotherhood, Deathclaw, etc) Wed be 2-3 generations past the original bombs, and having both a background in the medical sciences, and a family in it aswell, Scizophrenia would NOT be caused by a quick wave of radiation hitting you as the elevator decended, it would take a much more prolonged exposure time to cause immediate damage to the brain. Scizophrenia is also a brain disorder that is developed due to a stress or malfunction in the brain, but it is not genetically passed on to their children just because they have it.
    2) The concerns that people have, Synths replacing them, death around every corner, etc, is not a cause of Scizophrenia or PTSD, If it was in todays world of *relative* safety, then it would be a concern. But the fears they face are legitimate concerns brought on by the world they reside in. The possibility of a deathclaw tearing you apart is a perfectly valid fear or presumption in that world, and people have adapted that as the new normal of the world.

    Bethesda has 8 letters. Fallout has 7. If you add 8 and 7 you get 15. There are 5 Game Theory videos in my recommended list. So, if you divide 15 by 5 you get three. There were three listed factions at 11:44. Don't you see it? Enclave is the government, so we don't add them to the next part. The other two factions, Brotherhood of Steel and the Railroad can be added together to make two, so 2-1=1. There is 3 points on a triangle, and 1 eye. Also, the *illuminati* is green, just like the trophy in MatPat's logo. We've been lied to by all the Fascist monarchs out there, the ones who were deceiving us the whole time.

That said, some of the devs for the original Fallout worked on Fallout 3, and were already working for Bethesda when they bought the IP because they wanted "Oblivion with guns."

    This would make more sense if the Fallout games took place right after the Great War, but remember this is 200 years later.

    The radiation from the bombs would have dissipated a LONG time before these games started. The background radiation in the Fallout series is largely concentrated in, relatively small pockets throughout the wasteland from leaking barrels of reactor waste, spent fuel, or damaged small scale reactors( that would have powered, well, damn near everything in this universe) melting down. And with many inhabitants having had access to, or having recovered, prewar technology, it stands to realize that that they could avoid the many of the more concentrated pockets of radiation. This is especially true of those that came from the vaults, as the vault dweller's Pip-Boys have inbuilt Geiger counters, they likely also have access to stores of anti-radiation drugs such as Rad-X and Radaway, and quite possibly radiation suits. Even some tribal societies of the wasteland have created homegrown anti-radiation drugs. And don't even get me started on the G.E.C.K.

    Certainly an interesting theory but one that falls apart rather quickly, especially the one about all of humanity having Capgras delusions and PTSD which assume that everyone was ther during the initial bombing. Only the Sole Survivor in Fallout 4 lived before and during the initial nuclear holocaust. The first 3 games had protaganists and characters who did not live through that era and hence would have already adapted to the ever present radiation. Barring certain exceptions, almost everyone you meet are descendants of humans who survived the nuclear holocaust 200 years before

    ok a few problems with the theory. 1. the enclave might have succeded in fixing the county had they not been destroyed. twice. mr. house didnt begin his rebuilding plans until he saw society begging to rebuild. he saw the ncr and began his plans. the ncr have begun building and are makeing good progress. also the legion are not just guys with knives. they were a real military army force that use tactics weapons and other things against the ncr. the vaults would not have helped much seeing as how they were not designed to help. they were a massive social expirament designed to test people. only 12 out of 122 vault with a nice estimate of 1000 people per vault isnt very good. if anything most vaults released worse thing than they did help. groups like the brother hood and ncr might have been able to help rebuild faster but there to busy fighting each other. thats one of fallout main points. "war never changes". even after the world ended nobody has changed. there all still fighting and killing each other. theres also giant mutant monsters all over the surface that are slaughtering and killing everybody and everything they meet. also the title fallout wasnt a bethesda idea. it was the studio interplay who made fallout 1 and 2. the game that started the series.

    • @informalgeek1196

Though to be fair the Original concept was created for Wasteland, the game Black Isle made before Fallout which was published by EA. EA wouldn't give up the name so they changed it to Fallout and reinvented it.

    "pockets of people prepared for the great war"
    Actually, Matt, only ONE of those Vaults did what they promised to do. The rest of them were used to conduct horrific experiments upon the inhabitants, many of which ended up dead, insane, or mutated beyond recognition. The lore of the series explains that this is because Vault Tec never actually expected the bombs to drop, so they modified their vaults to conduct social and genetic experiments to see how people would react in a post apocalyptic scenario.
    And as for New Vegas not using their technology to help rebuild America, that is actually what Mr. House had planned to do. If you talk to him throughout the game, he says he can get humans into outer space within the next 100 years. The problem is that his lack of software drivers, the NCR, and the Legion made it difficult for him to focus on improving the wasteland, so you need to bring an end to the war before he can do anything about it.

      Not quite. As was the point in Fallout 3, the Vault's limited gene-pool meant that the population would not survive; this is already evident by the smaller population and especially a lack of children after the Lone Wanderer's generation.
      Along with Vault 111, the experiment technically called for the Overseer to wait for an all-clear signal - that never would've come. Still, regardless the experiment didn't work due to the vault staff.
      The only known _control_ vaults to have successfully worked, was Vault 8, which resulted in Vault City.
      A few (known) non-control vaults did kind of succeed at having a population, such as Vault 15, Vault 21, Vault 29, Vault 34, Vault 77, Vault 81, and Vault 101(kind of), though most of their experiments _did_ fail.

    I wonder how the postscarcity situation plays into that.
    You see, in the Fallout universe the world's population is much smaller than it was in the past, yet the land is littered with scrap, food, weapons and ammunition meant for a much larger population. You can play through all of Fallout 4 in survival mode (where you have needs like hunger and thirst) living entirely off all the preserved prewar food you find everywhere. And in any 'modern' Fallout game you play, by the end of the game you'll have stacks and stacks and stacks of weapons, armors, clothes and ammunition. You don't need to buy anything.
    What this means is that people don't really need to produce anything. You want a house? Plenty of those around. You want electronics? Take as many as you can carry. You want food? Don't bother starting up a farm, there's free food all over the place. So what incentive is there for people to live constructive, productive lives? There's very little value in anything they could make. The only things that are really valuable are weapons and armor, and most of those are prewar as well. Because there's no real gain to be had in being productive, 80-90% of humans you find in the Commonwealth and the Capital Wasteland are raiders. They get doped up and fight over piles of junk because that's all there is left to do for them.

      Most of that scavenging comes attached to serious dangers, though. Setting up a stationary, but well defended settlement where you grow your own food is much safer than scavenging the ruins for your next hit of Sugar Bombs and running into a glowing mole rat.

    2016 is a scary year
    2020: You haven't seen anything yet, boy.
    2021: You are heaven compared to me.
    2022: *laughs in torture*
