Still trying to understand how a lot of the settlements that have been around for so called “years” have skeletons, rubble, and no crops or water supplies until you show up
That's basically what made me stop taking FO4 worldbuilding and writing seriously. When I came across that dinner near the starting area, with the owner trying to fight off drug dealers, and the place looks like it was bombed yesterday and there's the skeleton of a guy still having his breakfast, I couldn't help but think they didn't take the worldbuilding seriously. And, you know, I'm fine with that. The worldbuilding can be cheesy and clumsy, but this isn't what we've come to expect from Fallout.
Fallout 2 handles this aspect a lot better. There are massive high-tech cities in that game, with the apocalypse being just a distant memory. Something that would be the case after such a long time.
I hate that too. When it came to the place being dirty and in ruins I had to make up my own lore that people before the war just didn't have the concept of cleaning stuff or its just how people evolved as pessimistic after so many years living in the shit... But some of it is just stupid! Why skeletons? its so annoying!
@@user-nc7fg3mf2bthey probably were to an extent, used by dissidents and gangs as makeshift guns and passed onto others.. why they’re in a safe idk, maybe to use as a holdout weapon of sorts?
I get the impression that the player character probably does just a bit more wandering than most people, but you're totally right. 200 years is a really long-ass time. You'd think at some point at least some wandering monster would hear him and try to break open the fridge or something to eat him lol
There's another video "updating" the plot hole, it turns out that when "the bombs fell" was actually the Minutemen's attack on the fort before the beginning of the game, that's why when the kid came back to their parents they don't seem shocked at all
@@valianthen It's not... his parents got turned into Ghouls when the bombs fell, but Billy was shocked that his parents were ghouls too. It's heavily implied by both Billy and his parents that he's been in there since the nukes 200 years ago. Quincy wasn't irradiated, no one ghoulified because of the Quincy Massacre.
Okay guys, mini plot hole: When Kellogg shoots your wife in the original cutscene, you hear a bullet casing hit the floor. Kellogg was using a .44 Revolver. A shell shouldn’t have hit the floor since Revolvers don’t eject shells when fired. Thought it was interrsting
Yeah. It would have been great to have a thing where Nick gets a kind of Split personality going, and you can do a questline to either Purge Kelogg out of Nick's head, or put Kelogg into a new Synth body
Well, put the detective into fallout 5. And deal with it there. Maybe reveal based on the new players actions wether Kellogg killed the sole survivor or not. Or add the sole survivor into the game as well and then decide if we kill them based on how far into the synth’s quest we are. Maybe decide the ending of fallout 4 based on the ending of fallout 5. If new kid sided with the brotherhood it is likley so did the sole survivor. Etc.
I always wanted them to randomly take charge of the body and have Kellogg kind of be "on your team" to a degree. He could've been a really interesting character had he been able to survive in some capacity
I would have liked to experience more of Kellogg, even if he's talking through Nick. Maybe he and Nate could develop a sort of grudging respect, despite the murder of Nate's wife. All while Nick is a mediator. Granted, Nick isn't a required follower, and can be replaced by someone else for the rest of the story, but the opportunity was there. It's always odd to see how angry Nate can be at Kellogg, to the point where every dialogue choice is hostile, but there's never that same amount of vitriol for the Institute in general, or Shaun.
i played Fallout 4 for the first time this year. hearing Kellogg’s voice coming from Nick was absolutely shocking and *chilling.* i was so disappointed that it never actually went anywhere narratively.
Because it doesn't have to be Kellogg's conscience taking over Nick, it can actually pretty much be just a pre-recorded message left in the implant and forwarded to Nick, because after all, Amari used Nick as a medium, a connector between you and Kellogg. So yea, one message left in Nick's brain has to be a big thing and has to mean a plot hole right away.
@@Croftice1 dude, Nick has no clue what happend after it... and if it was a recording, you'd expect it to be able to be heard again, but no, its only in that one instance. And remember, Kellogg is dead... there's no way to of transfered a message unless Kelloggs brain somehow leached itself to Nick
@@matthplays-2312 Hey, I have just started a new playthrough about a week ago, and last night I was in that mission about something something Kellogg's mind, at the aftermath of it, when Nick talks to you posing as Kellogg, if you have a sarcastic response a path of dialogues are unlocked, in which Valentine says that now you have to live with the doubt if it was really Kellogg's talk, or him just fucking with you. Edit: I can provide pictures of it via discord, if you want me to.
Exactly. It's a good open world fps with a decent amount of customization and not really anything else. I like the game a whole lot but it's one of my least favorite fallout games just cause it breaks lore almost in every reference to past games or material and it's not even a RPG.
@@KeithSchwerin I don't really think that's a good explanation, as Jet didn't exist in Fallout 1 (around the year 2161) and the actual creator (Myron) explains how it's actually synthesized.
pyre78 one common statement I hear is that it's impossible to synthesize Jet without Brahmin but that bars the possibility that the Brahmin dung fumes aren't just coincidentally similar in composition and effects to the pre-war synthetic chemical known as "Jet" and Myron discovered a process to fully refine the former into the latter.
I always viewed the end of dangerous minds as kellogg giving the sole survivor one final parting message before fading away for good, but it would've been cool to essentially have kellogg as a companion inside nick's head
Maybe if you could choose between saving Nick, or letting Kellogg overwrite his body, and depending on who is in the body, they can be your companion. I would kinda like that
I always hated the major Kellogg plot holes, he wasn't just unused for the end of Dangerous minds, the whole writing surrounding him was trash. He kidnapped Shaun 60+ years ago but somehow doesn't know or even realize shaun is "the old man" as he calls him, which admittedly he wouldn't necessarily be privy to that kind of info but for some reason thinks he's like 10. I get that years/time keeping might not be that well recorded after an apocalypse but he's gotta know the difference between 10 and 60 years. What they freeze him for 50 after he got shaun for them?
@@marikasdaughter6263 Considering that Kellogg is just an asset to them, and that the institute is... well... the institute, I find it (while rather unsatisfying of an explanation) completely plausible that they simply freeze Kellogg when he's not in use. Possibly even wipe his memories of these freezings so that he harbors no ill intent towards them. This could also explain why he believes Shaun is still 10, as he would be frozen for about 50 years, and then unfrozen once the institute caught wind that you were wandering around, and his memory of that time would be wiped, so he'd have no idea that the time passed. The institute would probably then be using Kellogg as bait for you so they could kill your or lure you to them. It also makes a lot more sense for the institute for him to be guarded by an army of synths if when he's on is a mission to lure you there for termination rather than him just keeping his synths with him wherever he goes. Also, since I know someone might bring it up, yes, I do believe that the fortress we find him in is a place of residence due to the terminal, his place of residence when he's NOT frozen, to clear up any confusion he might have about not having a home.
When it comes to Billy I usually just chalk it up to some weird hibernation ability. There are more then a few feral ghouls that have just sat around in isolated places and never starved to death. Maybe in the absence of any stimulus ghouls can just shut down. The fact that Billy is still sane after 200 years in a box also makes me think that he was asleep most of that time.
Its totally possible, there are animals that are like this. Like desert frogs that can go into a deep dormant state for years and only wake up when it rains
I think the radiation just mutated people differently like how people are more susceptible to different diseases and stuff. That’s why some can age and can starve and some don’t.
Whose to say he was referring to the war though? These explosions could have come from the minutemen battle that happened in concord some weeks ago (or months, I forget when exactly it happened)
Even IF Billy did not need to eat, drink, or even breathe to live... Wouldn't he have gone completely insane, being trapped in such a tiny, dark space for 200 years?
Sole survivor was trapped in a tiny dark space for 200 years. His/her sense of time got completely messed up and only thought a decade or two has passed. Perhaps the same happened with billy. Being in a fridge for that long with no way to tell how long time has passed, maybe for him it only felt like a few months or years. Even thought it’s been 200.
@@aeternus2036 survivor felt like moments passed. We experience it in "real time" when we play. No idea why you think that would be remotely similar to experiencing 200 years
@Basically I'm Schlorping get locked in a small dark box then tell me about your sense of time. It's not the best logic but you overestimate how dumb it is.
1:40 I know there’s no canon lore to allow this theory, but my theory is that Jet was a very premature chem on the east coast. Myron didn’t actually create jet, he created a way to make jet post war. So Myron studied pre war jet and found a way to make it in a post war fashion. This is how I rationalize it since the non Bethesda games take place on the west coast and Bethesda games take place on the east coast.
That's not a theory, it's more or less facts, Myron didn't create jet. There's a voice line in F2 where you can expose him for this. He admits he didn't make it but not to tell anyone, he only made a way to make it faster
Jet is really just the fallout universe's name for methamphetamine. Like how Fallout 3 had to change Morphine to Med-X most of the original names were made up to avoid censorship problems since there's some inherent ickyness in making a real-life drug essentially a 'powerup'. But in some dialogue with the pharmacist in New Reno you learn that jet addiction is just good ol' fashioned meth addiction.
The Libery Prime bit could simply be a pre-prepared publicity blurb ready to be used after the expected victory that was triggered by either a glitch or the passage of time.
@@LadyDoomsinger Thing is it wasn't just Power Armor, Prime was supposed to go to Anchorage until they reached the deadline that forced the US Government to pull out a shit ton of protoypes like vertibrids, and gauss rifles to replace Prime. Mr. House even had a portrait of part of Prime. Prime would have been a massive PR boost stunt to prove how unstoppable the US government was.
I mean Nick is 100% my favourite, but would have been just so awesome if he was to also be Kellogg as well somewhere inside and maybe you could actually talk to Kellogg and get his take on why he did what he did instead it is "bad guy" "kill him" "learn nothing else" and by do what he did I mean why he took the implants and whatnot, you know the shit we never learn about mainly is what I am talking about.
my favorite is Deacon, 2nd Fave is Codsworth, 3rd is Cait, 4th is Dogmeat. But yeah I do like Nick as well. He's prob comes in 6th for me right after Hancock. I honestly never liked X6 and I usually dont travel with MacCready. I usually avoid the Vault Curie was in but I did get her once and she was meh. Piper is just too damn "I want to help the world" type. I almost forgot preston....yeah I dont need someone bugging me every 5 seconds for shit I dont care about so him and strong are last. I wouldnt mind strong if he just stfu once in a while but he never does.
@@cultofmalgus1310 if we are talking about best storytelling, it's Cait and maccready for me. Piper has a cool story about the town she's from but I hate all the 1 dimensional "I'm good" attitude she has. Literally never had a playthrough with x6-88 Dogmeat obviously has the best storytelling ability. Strong is one of those characters that it actually hurts my ears to hear talk all the damn time. Preston is basically male Piper but worse somehow. But Nick valentine just could have been a crazy good character if Kellogg was mixed in with him.
Getting Kellogg out of Nick would have been quite the replacement to the eddie winter bonding quest for Nick. Could also be fun if you can choose to keep either Nick or Kellogg, especially when Kellogg Nick could meet Dima.
The one that gets me is the fact that when the bombs fell, it was morning. However, there are cars at the Starlight Drive-In, but you only visit a Drive-In at night, when you can see the screen.
The liberty prime thing could be explained by the line being programmed BEFORE Alaska was successfully defended, and was programmed to automatically be added to the orientation after a certain date, and then never edited to the correct events before the bombs fell, allowing the preprogrammed line to come to be
It's also completely possible, being a sleezy corporation, they left it in despite being completely false to make themselves appear better than they really are.
Am I the only one who thinks that what was meant by that line was Liberty Prime's design lead to modern power armor like what was used to defend Alaska?
I think the Kellogg stuff was just his last goodbye. We got to see his whole life against his will and he still got to have the last laugh by momentarily taking over nick and freaking out the sole survivor.
Plot hole: when you go into Kelloggs memory you can hear diamond city radio talking about piper. This all happened 60 something years ago so unless he was talking premature piper idk how that’s posssible
Nah if you are talking about kellogg being sent to find virgil that was recent like a while ago as x6-88 is in that memory plus Amari says that is recent
Kellogg's memories are kind of a narrative mess, really; Bethesda was so set on that major plot twist that Shaun was actually old and now head of the Institute that they forced a bunch of plot elements that in hindsight make little sense. As far as I can tell, Kellogg's memories conveniently have a 60-year gap between the memory of him taking Shaun from the Vault and him living with "Synth Shaun" in Diamond City. The weirdest part about Kellogg isn't even that he hasn't aged at all in over 60 years - that can be explained by cybernetic sci-fi techno-babble. But *why* hasn't he changed his hair *or* his clothes in over 60 years?!
@@LadyDoomsinger He's bald. Why doesn't anyone in 90% of the video games out there ever change their clothes? Maybe he has an outfit and a look he likes.
@@LadyDoomsinger That would have been a nice touch to make it more believable, seing these small changes throughout time. Truth is that Fallout 4 was shat out without much care given to it.
I like to think that Molly had an in-built timer that had the date of the "expected" declassification of the Liberty Prime project that once it was over, Cambridge Polymer could talk about it. But since the bombs fell, no one could reprogram her to not say the speech, so enough time passed that her programming says "Oh! I can talk about this now."
That would suggest Molly is deviating from her programming. Well-maintained robots in the fallout universe stick closely to their programming (Curie needed clearance to open a unlocked door from anyone claiming to be from Vault TEC, the general atomic galleria staff continue to operate the display and follow outdated protocols). Robots that aren't well maintained deviate from their programming (I.E Codsworth having emotions, that Assaultron who opened a shop, whatever Deezer is doing) and usually can elaborate on their programming.
That would take too much effort and ... You know, that awful four letter word. Work. Besides, why do that when you can just make everything a cashgrab?! Better yet, allow a third party to make a better version but pretend it doesn't exsist.
I recall at one point, I came across a ghoul that was dying of radiation poisoning and begged for radaway. It bothered me a lot more than it should have
That sounds like some Mandela effect shit right there. Unless it was Harold in FO 1/2. He's not quite a ghoul, but not human either. He's basically a shitty ent.
Maybe because he knows he's slowly turning into feral? That could be the case too since I remember in fallout NV that they are actually not immune to radiation but rather have very high resistence to it.
@@kaungsetmoe4876 nop. if i remember well, a ghoul is only feral if their brains have been damaged by radiation before they transform into a ghoul. if you turn into a ghoul, you are pratically safe, as you are pratically imune to radiation now.
With Roger Warwick, I wonder if maybe the Institute could convince someone they were in fact a Synth. Fabricating all sorts of "evidence" and giving them a mission of an experiment when in fact they were the experiment.
I always thought jet was just a normal inhaler based on one time I took all of my inhaler in one night and felt my heart beating and it felt like time was slow
Further issues with Billy. How did no one else hear him in a time spanning two centuries? How does he say his legs are stuff, then immediately get up absolutely fine anyway? How did he retain enough presence of mind to basically still be a kid, after two centuries of being locked in the dark, in a fridge, and essentially having no idea what was happening outside? How did he retain enough presence of mind not to go freakin' insane from the solitary confinement?
It woulda been dope if they made kellogg a permanent thing in Nick's head where they would switch back and forth between personalities depending on the situation, it would work if they made kellogg want to work for you and Nick because you took him out.
About Jet: This plothole was fixed lateron by a change in the lore. Jet was a pre-war medication for cows to make them produce more milk and prevent them from getting sick. It lead to minor mutations ans After the war, brahmins already produced the stuff in their organs, so that their 'leftovers' contained traces of it. After the war, the original way to make it was lost, so not many people knew the drug any more. And the guy in fallout 2 just found a new way to make it by purifying bramin dung.
I was more curious about why the Brotherhood just went and blew up the Institute. Every Fallout game tells me that the Brotherhood's agenda is collection of technology. What's the Institute if not the holy grail of such technology? Cybernetics, bio research, weaponry, teleportation?...
Exactly. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's dictated in their codex which is the equivalent to the Bible. But then again, since Lyon's leadership, the brotherhood has changed. Still, it's highly out of character to blow the entirety of the institute complex, even if they despise the place as a synth factory. Sounds more like something the Legion would do, loathing technology, blowing up an underground complex full of technologies.
@@maddermax3162 It shows bad writing lmao. I think Bethesda just didn't want to put in the work to make more than 2 endings to their awful Fallout clone.
@@Foxingg It makes sense for the brotherhood to develop down the path of zealous tech extermination though, given that a more radical leader has been placed in charge
There are so many in Fallout 4! My biggest gripe, out of all of them, are NPC’s reactions to companions. You’re telling me, the anti-(ghoul, super mutant, synth, railroad) BOS is going to be perfectly ok with you and your companion being on their flagship? Compared this to NV. If you had Boone with you, he would attack any member of the Legion regardless of the character’s relationship with them.
Yeah, the closest you get is some bickering between them and it sucks when you realises there are small details with companions that no one would care of such as Codsworth talking to that chef protectron in diamond city and fully understanding him as they chat about robCo
Excellent logic. BOS don't like ghouls therefore it doesn't make sense for them to make an exception for you and is therefore bad writing. Like certainly there are a million different reasons as to why they put up with allowing your ghoul/super mutant companion with you. FO3 did the same thing with the super mutant companion. It's almost like it doesn't matter and it would just be annoying to have to send your follower back to wherever whenever you wanted to get onto the Prydwen because you know, it's a game...
As far as the Warwick thing goes, I always felt that the quest Blind Betrayal should have intentionally ended the same way. If the player chooses to kill Danse, they loot his corpse, only to discover that there is no synth component. And there's never any explanation or follow-up, you're just left wondering what the truth really was and if you did the right thing. That shit would have haunted me for weeks. Maybe I'm just weird, but unanswered mysteries always get under my skin, in the best possible way.
To me the biggest plot hole is that the institute needed to take shaun at all. if all they needed was his 'uncorrupted dna', all they would have needed is something like bone marrow samples. And that could have come from the parents.
Considering you were on the surface when the bombs went off and the blast wave reached the elevator just as you descended wouldnt you be exposed to some amount of rads
@@greendude0420 We know how much you all have been looking forward to the next Elder Scrolls. And we know you have been expecting another Fallout. So we at Bethesda are proud to present: The Elder Scrolls VI: Fallout V!
If you do certain dialogue's in Fallout 2. You find out that Jet Addiction is what got one woman kicked out of the city growing up around Vault 8 i believe it is. Can't remember her name right now, just remember she's a woman you can end up sleeping with. And that event the way she talks about it was a few decades in her past. Before the boy genius supposedly came up with it. Which directly contradicts the supposed creation of Jet even within it's own game. So it's not really as much of a plot hole as it's treated as. This is even in the Wiki and a few other sources. Though it tends to be heavily ignored by most desperate to make this a plothole and thus a huge mark against the game and Bethesda.
@@inspectorjavert9868 I was told that with high science you can get him to admit the idea wasn't his and he'll get mad at you but I can't verify it. I don't have access to the game any longer and it's been a while since I played it in depth. I just know he is called out for it.
There is an easy retcon to whole Jet/Myron situation: Myron recreated Jet, not created it from scratch. As he himself describes it he was looking to create that kind of drug and only incidentally found it's brahmin dung that's the main ingredient.
@@PobortzaPl Except... All of that is completely un-needed if the game myron comes from. And even potentially Myron himself potentially contradicts the narrative anyway. Which it does to some fair extent. Many people have not played the game and they go off of things like the Fallout Bible (which is non-cannon and had horrendous continuity issues to begin with) Or they go off of things that people have told them or occasionally the wiki. Which has been getting edited lately to actually remove that factual details in the game surrounding the issue of Myron and Jet by some of these same people.
honestly, i feel like if they gave us a dlc or a line of side quests where we explore nick being taken over by kellog and maybe dealing with some stuff from kellogs past or finding some way to to otherwise remove either nick or kellog from the body and choosing which one gets to go on would've been pretty neat, maybe we can be given a perk for helping kellog take over nick or something
Now, I'm not saying we should replace everyone with a bad tempter or bad intentions, but if I had an abusive father, I wouldn't mind him being replaced with a nicer version of him. Is that just me or would anyone else agree?
As far as I can remember, he wasn't actually "abusive" - he's described to "have a temper" and sometimes being unpleasant or stubborn. There is to my knowledge no mention of him physically hurting anyone (emotional abuse can be a bit more complicated to figure out). Even if he was abusive, being "replaced" implies the original was killed (so he wouldn't turn up and expose the replacement) - or at the very least held captive at the institute - probably used for nefarious experiments (such as their FEV project) - nobody deserves that, even if they are abusive.
I'm pretty sure there's a terminal entry about how the replacement is running experiments on the family, and will murder them all when it's done, so it kind of ruined that theme. I really like the idea of a particularly terrible person being replaced by a synth who's actually a decent guy, you could tie in all sorts of moral and philosophical questions, for the family and the synth and the player. Whether or not the player should tell everyone, or maybe someone already knows and wants to keep it a secret, or maybe you could talk the synth into admitting it and the family would react based on your conversations with them. So much potential. It would make a great quest, but of course, they had to screw it up.
@@Maddiedoggie exactly, Fallout 4 lore is like Dragon Age 2: a swiss cheese at his best. At least Dragon Age 2 could refuge on an unreliable narrator, but fallout 4 can't
Billy doesn't say he was in there for 200 years. He says something along the lines of "I hid in there after hearing bombs." He was right by Quincy, so he was probably there during the Quincy massacre. Either way, love the vids Nate!
It's heavily implied he's talking about the big bombs from the war 200 years ago, since when you reunite him with his parents he remarks how they look like him now too, and even how the parents talk about their situation, it very much seems like they're talking about when the nukes dropped.
I agree. I just started a new play through, and noticed the thing about Kellogg speaking through Nick and did find it rather startling. I took it as Kellogg's parting message, since as soon as he stepped out with his hands raised, wanting to talk, I put a .308 through his forehead from the doorway with a critical shot I'd been saving before he could say anything
I always found it weird that nobody settled Sanctuary before you came out of the vault, like in comparison to other places, Sanctuary is in pretty good condition, and there's also the mysterious workbenches that end up there which would lead you to believe that someone attempted to settle there at one point. But when you get there, aside of, Codsworth its completely abandoned.
Sanctuary and the house used as a player base makes me feel like Sanctuary was used for a while by merchants/caravans as a temporary settlement. We also should consider that Sanctuary is really far away from Diamond City, that is the ''center'' of the Commonwealth.
Or how half the settlements look like they just got there and nobody bothered picking up the trash or removing the skeletons or boarding up windows or getting fresh food and water going or doing anything remotely productive in general. Bethesda makes good games but this game is supposed to be 200+ years after the bombs, not 2 years before anyone has had the chance to do anything productive
@@robvinsky I would legitimately say this tends to be an issue with the franchise in general. Even New Vegas which I do love as a game in many locations doesn't look like it has been occupied by an industrial society for 8 years, much less under a technocrat like Mr. House. It is just basic stuff like moving the broken cars from the road and maybe paving up some of the highways with the concrete pouring equipment we know the NCR has which would give it a feeling of being more inhabited. This really just seems to be more of an issue with the franchise itself really wanting to maintain a certain look even when logically things should be cleaned up a bit more.
I thought the plot hole about the ghoul kid was he wasn’t in the fridge for 200 years but since Quincy was attacked by the Gunners so he was only in the fridge for how ever long after Quincy fell
It's heavily implied by both Billy and his parents that they're talking about when the nukes dropped... Billy didn't know his parents were also ghouls, so unless the ghoulified after the quincy massacre happened for some odd reason and that same reason somehow happened to also affect billy, they're all implying that he's been there since the nukes dropped.
Here is a plot hole: the X-01 power armor was made by the enclave but you can find it (if on a high enough level) near crashed vertibirds with skeletons in US army uniforms indicating that they where there before the war Editing to say there is literally a loading screen which says X-01 was post war
@@davidewhite69 That's actually not a plot hole at all, the x-01 was mass produced by the enclave but there were limited prototypes already in development. There is one guaranteed one protected by a sentry bot atop some building I forget it's name, and the nuka cola quantum one is probably some corporate deal like "we see how quantum works in fusion cores we get to unveil the new power armor to the public". As for just finding them in the wastes In level lists that's just game mechanics not lore breaking. If we took every game mechanic as lore legendary effects would have a lot of explaining to do
@silverfoxeater 1. poop is poop. people literally still get high on cow poop in our own world. its a thing, The difference isn't great enough that the main component of poop fumes wouldn't still have its main effects. In their world they could have just code worded the cow dung as jet, which just became a more advanced form when the bombs fell. As I said it doesn't really conflict with anything because Caravanners could have literally been inspired to make jet because they were aware that poop fumes were a thing. 2. I don't find it hard to believe, plenty of stupid things slip past the smartest people on the planet in our every day lives. Some things that happen in our daily lives are just a happenstance of freak stupidity. like a guy sending Google random bills through the mail and the company actually paying them and him getting away with millions of dollars until he's eventually caught. Just because a guy got away with it for years doesn't mean that the institute would be fooled forever. 3. there is a reason for them to lie, you assume that the people there would know about it, this wouldn't necessarily be the case as I said the people working there could have been fresh recruits that were forced under non-disclosure agreements being brainwashed by corporate history, causing an elevated sense of pride. Its again not like our current companies don't do in a way the same things for stupid reasons. At least we agree on the last ones.

It would have been amazing if they did more with Kellogg living in Nick’s head. Perhaps he could have made commentary on your actions as you progress through the main storyline. There could have been a quest where you have to try and get him out of there. You could even go so far as to put him into a new synth body. For as important to the main story as he is, Kellogg actually has very little interaction with the player, so it would have been cool to see more of him after he died
Always bothered me the fact we went in Kellogs mind and were not able to tell that the kidnapping scene happened 60 years prior and that Kellog seemingly doesn't question or monologue the fact that the Shaun Synth was a synth or the very least the strangeness that he kidnapped that kid 60 years ago and he is still a kid.
Kellogg in Nicks head Just sparked an Idea for a Quest in my head: Nick Acts more and more Like Kellogg while you travel with him and do detective Work. At some Point He Attacks you and Kellogg tries to Take over nicks Body. Nick then tries to get Kellogg Out of His psyche/Data/whatever, But cant get it done. He tells you, you have to kill him and Kellogg with him. But maybe the Institute or the railroad can Help. You then enter Nicks subconscious memory, where Kellogg has Hidden away, because He noticed Nick trying to get him Out. And then you find yourself in the memories of the REAL Nick Valentine. The human. Synth-nicks detective persona and human-Nicks cop Life have merged a little, you enter Nicks office and then you do some noir-film-esque detective Work to track down kellogg, the new Strange mercenary in town, kill him and restore Nicks Psyche.

Ghouls need water too, there's a whole subplot in Fallout 1 about it. Keely in New Vegas talks about how she had to collect food / water while trapped in Vault 22
I'd probably rationalise why some ghouls need to eat and drink like a normal person, some needing to drink and eat occasionally and some not needing to eat and drink pretty much at all by theorising that there's different severities of ghoulification and the amount of activity that they do. Billy was stuck in a fridge doing nothing so could've been sustained by the small amount of radiation not shown up as rads
the ghoul kid I could theorize what happened. The ghoul kid is actually an Adult ghoul that due to not being nourished and fed properly is forever the size of a standard kid. and he happens to be one of the few ghouls who doesn't need food to survive.
Never thought of this as a problem... my thoughts has always been that the boy wonder found a stash of jet and made more... either through reverse engineering or finding a recipe close to the stash.... I'm just surprised that people see this as a major problem since it's not something new... many things in our world get "discovered" or "invented" even though it already existed but was forgotten.... which is highly possible in a world that got nuked and lost most records... but that's just me
And this is how you know if people only ever learn about drugs from TV or games. Theres a ton of different compounds that give the "same" effect as LSD or extasy, theyre all called the same thing as the original but is new stuff. Jet is probably no different, if it is indeed just brahmin gas then people would have already found it before the war. I mean its not like people get high on lighter fluids or something...
@@Mr3ppozz the reason the invention of jet is often brought up is because is an easy example that requires no in depth knowledge to fully understand, the problem being exemplified being bethesda's complete lack of regard for even the pretense of continuity in any of their games.
@@gmh3 My understanding was that Jet is a vaporized form of methamphetamine (understandable since one of the ingredients in FO4 is Fertilizer). Conversely, MedX is Morphine and Psycho is PCP given then in-game effects.
The biggest plot hole. Shawn's plan is don't send a synth to meet you at 101 exit but expected you to: 1-kill an "unkillable" courser. 2- find railroad. 3-go to hell on earth Glowing sea and find virgil (that can be anywhere in the commonwealth by now). 4- build a teleporter out of junk. 5-believe him to be your shawn with zero evidence.
He didn't release you to come find him He says that was a possibility but he didn't know. He released you just to see how you acted. What kind of person you were. I'm sure he would have teleported out eventually to meet you, but you beat him to the punch. In essence he didn't plan for you to do all this. He just expected you to live, that's what he wanted to see. That was his plan.
The Maybe True Story of Jet: Myron from Fallout 2 was so high that, when talking to the Chosen One, Myron thought he invented Jet. In fact, it had been around since before the War.
I always kind of assumed that a drug named Jet existed pre-war, possibly having similar effects to the chem Myron invented, and he just named his invention the same.
With the Jet plot hole, it could be easily covered up by retconning Fallout 2's story with it being a jet alternative. For example, it could be that brahmin dung gives a very similar effect compared to pre-war jet, but after the bombs fell, pre-war jet was all used up, so some crazed scientist found out how to create jet again but with a different recipe
Synths replace Humans by killing them. Roger killed the Synth that was send to take his place. Then he become sober because he knows, if the Institute figure out that their Synths was destroyed they will send another one. And another one. Until he is replaced. Roger is a Human, acting like a Synth working for the Institute to the purpose of his survival. At the core. He replaced the Synth that should replace him. Plothole fixed.

I love how you used the phrase 'grew out of it' to describe a child becoming an adult. Yeah, I used to be a kid, but I grew out of that. It was just a phase.
I randomly killed Roger Warwick during a “what if” session before knowing any of this and he dropped a synth component when killed, that’s how I found out he was a synth, they must have patched it lol
Synth components are scripted to be added to a flagged NPCs inventory upon death. When he losses his essential status and gets updated it removes his flagging for some reason so he dosent drop it. It’s a weird glitch
@@scorchercast8366 what you are saying makes sense but I wonder how I can pickpocket someone and see a synth component in their inventory? Does it just have them with it or should it only be when they die?
@@alanluscombe8a553 given synth components are located in the core of a synths brain if they have one you can pick pocket if dosent mean there synth. It just means they some how got there hands on a synth component and are carrying it around If there actually a synth it should only spawn in there inventory on death as synth components are undetectable except upon a post mortem autopsy
Headcanon for Roger Warwick. What if the Institute ran an experiment to see if regular humans could be convinced they were synths, and follow programming? The data would all show he had been made a synth to ensure everyone not directly involved with the research just thought he was one, but in reality he'd just been brainwashed. It does seem to fall within the Institute's methods, and research into the human brain could potentially be applied to creating even more advanced synths.
The odds of both of Billy’s parents being ghouls and not feral…. Also plot hole - why leave them next to a gunners camp instead of offering them a home
Spartan War118 if you want something fun to think about. In real life it’s like something around 8% of the mass in canned meats and minced meats like hamburgers and chicken nuggets is human DNA. So everyone in real life has committed cannibalism.
With the kellog thing on nick, there could be a passive skill, like "Permanently increase Nick's damage and accuracy by 40%, but has a little chance to shoot you randomly"
seeing how billy turned into a ghoul inside the fridge plus the giant fucking hole in the back of the fridge would suggest the fridge is very much radioactive so how you came to the conclusion it wasn't is fucking baffling to me
Counter point: Robert House made an assumption, because there are no cats to be found in the Mojave and New California. Especially because he asserts it as a fact, but does not provide evidence. Cats may well have managed to survive in some places and not others. Since it's really damn hard to wipe out a species that ubiquitous. Doubly so when you realize cats are an invasive species in most locales. So House? Yeah he ain't as smart as he'd like everyone to believe. Especially not with how easily you can disable his security, shut down his robots, and go kill him. Especially when better security features exist in places he had build and that he approved the designs of.
@@blairthomas3920 Famous Russian author and playwright Anton Chekhov once famously said "Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there." Here, Kellogg possesses Valentine for a total of one whole line, but then it's never brought up again. Bethesda put the rifle on the wall but then never followed up with the bang. I actually have a three-hour video on my channel where I go into exuberant amounts of detail about this game, its strengths, and its flaws, if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/4jHf4gKc5so/v-deo.html
My solution for the Kid in the Fridge: To begin with, the slaver is just misinformed. Let's be real, he doesn't appear to be in any danger of becoming an institute scientist. The kid himself was ghulified slightly younger-looking than he is now. Fallout's fridges are nuclear-powered (which is why they can still preserve food) and through a combination of being a Ghul and the low temperature in the fridge, his ghul-tabolism was slowed down so far as to survive a crisp 200 years without food. Stupid mental gymnastics? Sure, but it works! :D
Synth components: I believe that synth components don’t do anything. Gen 3 synths are biological androids or replicants or something. There’s no reason they should have any design features in common with earlier synths. So my best guess is that the Institute adds “synth components” as a marker or symbol, a part of their ongoing psychosocial work on defining synth slaves as “not people”. Maybe the Warwick synth just happens to be without one, due to a manufacturing oversight or whatever. Another plot hole: in the scenes where Kellog kidnaps Shaun, he’s working for Father, or at least for “the old man”. I have head canon explanations, but as written it doesn’t make any sense.
My favorite plot hole is how Shaun is not deaf considering he was less than a year old when a .44 magnum went off less than a foot away from him, the sound of which could be heard through your cryo pod
He could be deaf - would explain why he basically ignores everything the player says to him, and responds the same no matter what dialogue option you choose. But then, if that was the case, that would imply that 80 - 99% of the Commonwealth's population is deaf.
Fo2 jet is jenkem fo4 jet is amphetamine the drug names were changed from their real life counterparts ie: medx/morphine because of clarification laws in Australia and a couple of other countries
With a high enough science skill you could convince him that all he did was create an apsirated amphetamine and combined it with fumes, rather than mastermind the most perfect drug from a pusher’s perspective from scratch (I believe there was a cut quest where you could develop and release a cure for jet addiction in FO2) but it was more about getting him to admit that his genius was actually just developing and building on stuff that already existed, than getting him to admit he didn’t create jet. Mind you, 1997/98 was a fair time ago, so I may have misremembered it, but Myron gets really shitty with you when you point out that “he ain’t all that”, and that anyone with access to some of the same information could probably have come up with Jet. But ultimately it was about making Jet extra-addictive, I think. I think that the “jet didn’t exist prior to the war” is a combination of an unreliable narrator bogging themselves up to look like a criminal genius, and a Mandela effect. Happy to be proven wrong, but that’s my memory/theory.
On ghouls: I like to think of it as them needing food to use energy or grow, but otherwise it is unneeded. so, a Ghoul can essentially hibernate forever, but if they are moving around or even thinking particularly hard, they'll need to eat. also, stops physical growth until they eat. so a kid will be a kid forever until they've got biomass coming in.
nop, he doesnt say it. Actually, he doesnt even remember that he said something like that. so yeah, in that moment, kellog took over nick, and it would be so much fun having this duality, where kellog could took over him anytime and then a subplot develops. but, bethesda going to be bethesda!
When you bring it up he says Dr Amari warned them about lingering neuro something or another but he'll be alright. So basically he has an impression of Kellogg that will pass.
Let's not forget the Anti-Communist propaganda posters with Liberty Prime portrayed in the background (There's also another one with a Chinese Robot, so not to confuse them.)
For the liberty prime one I think that (in universe) they were going to announce LP to the public after the battle. The government told the company their plan so they set a timer where the robot would talk about LP. Since they didn’t use LP and the bombs dropped the company didn’t have a chance or forgot to remove the timer and the dialogue.
I agree with this a lot, there’s at least two places I’ve found where it seems more was going on. Fort strong has a secret room with a fat man which would make sense of course since it was LITERALLY INVENTED THERE. But that room was cut. I feel like it should’ve also had a cool unique T-51 set since it was also the place where they were working on it. The generic power armour just isn’t good enough. The other place is Boston public library, there was a cut quest there about the preservation of knowledge. You find the guy who asks you to finish their work on the terminal entry but then... nothing. I’m rambling but I’m on another new play through again and these things just bug me lol
@@LazyY91 You're acting like Fallout 4 isn't the highest rated and most financially successful Fallout game to date. It's easy to verify on google. You don't like Bethesda. Fine. But don't act like every other game and company is even remotely perfect. At least attempt to hide your bias and ignorant stupidity.
The sign outside the combat zone that says something like "NO FIGHTING OUTSIDE THE PIT" but the raiders immediately shoot you when you arrive. Or the tied up prisoners in the combat zone that you can't free.
I thought that the Kellogg line from Nick was either, a) Kellogg using the last of the power in his chip to taunt the player and give them paranoia, or b) Nick playing a prank
Playing that kind of prank is not like Nick. Matter of fact he doesn't seem to ever like it when you are sarcastic to him or others. Plus of all the jokes or pranks he could do that would be the last choice since it hits pretty deep at an emotional subject. I do like your option A it gets my vote.
To me, it seems like Kellogg left the recording there just in case the player found him, killed him, and accessed his memories. Like an "if I'm this, it means I'm dead" kind of message to his enemy, which is the player. It also has the same sound effect that plays when holotapes play.
@@dweller132 it's still a cool concept (nick may be kellogg AT ANY TIME) that goes nowhere. That's the biggest problem. It's like putting a shotgun on a play (chekov's gun) and not using it.
I always thought Billy was supposed to be small - like growth stunted. Whether it was because of the fridge, or no food, or if he had a glandular issue before becoming a ghoul, there was no way he could grow up trapped in a fridge for two centuries. Even ghouls go insane - from the number of ferals you could say they're quite prone to being unstable - it's just Billy's version of losing his mind was different to most. TLDR - Billy was a midget ghoul who believed he was still a child and his traumatised parents were so glad to see him after two centuries that they just went with it.
The fact that the citizens and the brotherhood soldiers are feeding the ghouls doesn't confirm they need to eat, just that normal non-ghoul people think they do.

Still trying to understand how a lot of the settlements that have been around for so called “years” have skeletons, rubble, and no crops or water supplies until you show up
That's basically what made me stop taking FO4 worldbuilding and writing seriously. When I came across that dinner near the starting area, with the owner trying to fight off drug dealers, and the place looks like it was bombed yesterday and there's the skeleton of a guy still having his breakfast, I couldn't help but think they didn't take the worldbuilding seriously. And, you know, I'm fine with that. The worldbuilding can be cheesy and clumsy, but this isn't what we've come to expect from Fallout.
New Vegas nailed this aspect, it definitely feels like the world was nuked 200 years before not the day before
Fallout 2 handles this aspect a lot better. There are massive high-tech cities in that game, with the apocalypse being just a distant memory. Something that would be the case after such a long time.
Herald of Unicron that doesn’t explain when you wouldn’t want to clean up your settlement
I hate that too. When it came to the place being dirty and in ruins I had to make up my own lore that people before the war just didn't have the concept of cleaning stuff or its just how people evolved as pessimistic after so many years living in the shit... But some of it is just stupid! Why skeletons? its so annoying!
I always loved opening a safe that had been locked for hundreds of years only to find bottle caps, a pipe rifle, and crispy squirrel bit.
Why do you think it has been?
Do you think your the first person ever to see the safe and have a level 100 lock pick or whatever it was?
Ngl I heard something about how pipe guns were pre war or something I was probably tripping tho
@@user-nc7fg3mf2bthey probably were to an extent, used by dissidents and gangs as makeshift guns and passed onto others.. why they’re in a safe idk, maybe to use as a holdout weapon of sorts?
@31animafan Alright, what about a vault that has been clearly stated to never been opened but has pipe weapons, and caps available for looting?
And the military personnel being equipped with those too
How the heck did no one...in 200 years...hear that kid in the fridge?
I get the impression that the player character probably does just a bit more wandering than most people, but you're totally right. 200 years is a really long-ass time. You'd think at some point at least some wandering monster would hear him and try to break open the fridge or something to eat him lol
There's another video "updating" the plot hole, it turns out that when "the bombs fell" was actually the Minutemen's attack on the fort before the beginning of the game, that's why when the kid came back to their parents they don't seem shocked at all
@@valianthen It's not... his parents got turned into Ghouls when the bombs fell, but Billy was shocked that his parents were ghouls too. It's heavily implied by both Billy and his parents that he's been in there since the nukes 200 years ago. Quincy wasn't irradiated, no one ghoulified because of the Quincy Massacre.
Likely he was in a state of hibernation for most of that time.
Yeah about that
Okay guys, mini plot hole:
When Kellogg shoots your wife in the original cutscene, you hear a bullet casing hit the floor. Kellogg was using a .44 Revolver. A shell shouldn’t have hit the floor since Revolvers don’t eject shells when fired. Thought it was interrsting
Nah bruh he just used a different weapon, like a axe or grenade or something.
I will never not notice this now
Originally, he was supposed to use a 10mm pistol but for some reason changed it to a .44
It was ME , DIO So fucking true!!! When games or movies actually get firearms right I have so much more respect for it
@14 eighteen gang GANG it'd be mistaking AR for Assault rifle
Nate: This is one of my favorite sidequests offered in the game. You start out hearing a child screaming from a fridge
The End
fuck yeah that's what makes it great
Idk... having him inside was a bit stupid... maybe if he was locked in there like after the war hiding from something scary I'd buy the story.
Lol 🤣
I hate this-
Fallout 1- GHOULS NEED FOOD & WATER
Fallout 4- dumb ghoul kid survives in fridge for years.
STUPID! Bethesda just sucks.
I'm so dissapointed that the game never did anything with the whole "Kellogg is in Nick's mind" thing, because the setup was honestly really cool
Yeah. It would have been great to have a thing where Nick gets a kind of Split personality going, and you can do a questline to either Purge Kelogg out of Nick's head, or put Kelogg into a new Synth body
Well, put the detective into fallout 5. And deal with it there. Maybe reveal based on the new players actions wether Kellogg killed the sole survivor or not. Or add the sole survivor into the game as well and then decide if we kill them based on how far into the synth’s quest we are. Maybe decide the ending of fallout 4 based on the ending of fallout 5. If new kid sided with the brotherhood it is likley so did the sole survivor. Etc.
I always wanted them to randomly take charge of the body and have Kellogg kind of be "on your team" to a degree.
He could've been a really interesting character had he been able to survive in some capacity
Or maybe Nick was just fucking with player if you choose the sarcastic responses he pretty much says thats what it was
I would have liked to experience more of Kellogg, even if he's talking through Nick. Maybe he and Nate could develop a sort of grudging respect, despite the murder of Nate's wife. All while Nick is a mediator. Granted, Nick isn't a required follower, and can be replaced by someone else for the rest of the story, but the opportunity was there.
It's always odd to see how angry Nate can be at Kellogg, to the point where every dialogue choice is hostile, but there's never that same amount of vitriol for the Institute in general, or Shaun.
Ah the good old days when plot holes where a big deal. Now we just want a game that functions upon release.
Set the bar so low that people forget what normal ever was. Has been working for decades now...
Game that functions upon release? You speak in myth and tomfoolery
What is this "functions" word you speak of? Never hear of it
Functions? what's that mean? all we have here is games that can't even open without detonating your device.
@Supre Not just talking about Bethesda games, everyone is rushing to to games out now
i played Fallout 4 for the first time this year. hearing Kellogg’s voice coming from Nick was absolutely shocking and *chilling.* i was so disappointed that it never actually went anywhere narratively.
Because it doesn't have to be Kellogg's conscience taking over Nick, it can actually pretty much be just a pre-recorded message left in the implant and forwarded to Nick, because after all, Amari used Nick as a medium, a connector between you and Kellogg. So yea, one message left in Nick's brain has to be a big thing and has to mean a plot hole right away.
@@Croftice1 that reasoning makes no sense
@@blackbettys agreed
@@Croftice1 dude, Nick has no clue what happend after it... and if it was a recording, you'd expect it to be able to be heard again, but no, its only in that one instance. And remember, Kellogg is dead... there's no way to of transfered a message unless Kelloggs brain somehow leached itself to Nick
@@matthplays-2312 Hey, I have just started a new playthrough about a week ago, and last night I was in that mission about something something Kellogg's mind, at the aftermath of it, when Nick talks to you posing as Kellogg, if you have a sarcastic response a path of dialogues are unlocked, in which Valentine says that now you have to live with the doubt if it was really Kellogg's talk, or him just fucking with you.

"It's probably not a retcon, and whoever was writing this probably just didn't know the actual lore"
That's a good summary of the entire game
Exactly. It's a good open world fps with a decent amount of customization and not really anything else. I like the game a whole lot but it's one of my least favorite fallout games just cause it breaks lore almost in every reference to past games or material and it's not even a RPG.
@@KeithSchwerin I don't really think that's a good explanation, as Jet didn't exist in Fallout 1 (around the year 2161) and the actual creator (Myron) explains how it's actually synthesized.
pyre78 one common statement I hear is that it's impossible to synthesize Jet without Brahmin but that bars the possibility that the Brahmin dung fumes aren't just coincidentally similar in composition and effects to the pre-war synthetic chemical known as "Jet" and Myron discovered a process to fully refine the former into the latter.
@@5bars3g36 What I'm getting at here is that if it was around pre-war then why wasn't it available in the year 2161?

I always viewed the end of dangerous minds as kellogg giving the sole survivor one final parting message before fading away for good, but it would've been cool to essentially have kellogg as a companion inside nick's head
Maybe if you could choose between saving Nick, or letting Kellogg overwrite his body, and depending on who is in the body, they can be your companion. I would kinda like that
@@CPLsmilez- I like the idea of Kellogg just being in there along for the ride. Like Nicky had an inner voice that’s Kellogg’s.
@@gujwdhufjijjpo9740 "Eventually I should just fade into your subconscious" - Kellog, right after he had already faded away.
I always hated the major Kellogg plot holes, he wasn't just unused for the end of Dangerous minds, the whole writing surrounding him was trash. He kidnapped Shaun 60+ years ago but somehow doesn't know or even realize shaun is "the old man" as he calls him, which admittedly he wouldn't necessarily be privy to that kind of info but for some reason thinks he's like 10. I get that years/time keeping might not be that well recorded after an apocalypse but he's gotta know the difference between 10 and 60 years. What they freeze him for 50 after he got shaun for them?
@@marikasdaughter6263 Considering that Kellogg is just an asset to them, and that the institute is... well... the institute, I find it (while rather unsatisfying of an explanation) completely plausible that they simply freeze Kellogg when he's not in use. Possibly even wipe his memories of these freezings so that he harbors no ill intent towards them. This could also explain why he believes Shaun is still 10, as he would be frozen for about 50 years, and then unfrozen once the institute caught wind that you were wandering around, and his memory of that time would be wiped, so he'd have no idea that the time passed. The institute would probably then be using Kellogg as bait for you so they could kill your or lure you to them. It also makes a lot more sense for the institute for him to be guarded by an army of synths if when he's on is a mission to lure you there for termination rather than him just keeping his synths with him wherever he goes. Also, since I know someone might bring it up, yes, I do believe that the fortress we find him in is a place of residence due to the terminal, his place of residence when he's NOT frozen, to clear up any confusion he might have about not having a home.
When it comes to Billy I usually just chalk it up to some weird hibernation ability. There are more then a few feral ghouls that have just sat around in isolated places and never starved to death. Maybe in the absence of any stimulus ghouls can just shut down.
The fact that Billy is still sane after 200 years in a box also makes me think that he was asleep most of that time.
Thats what id think, like the "sleepers" you run into sometimes (sometimes nearly trip over them!)
Its totally possible, there are animals that are like this. Like desert frogs that can go into a deep dormant state for years and only wake up when it rains
@@booqueefious2230 simple answer: it's a fridge. It had food in it. Even it the food spoked, he's a ghoul so he could probably eat it just fine.
I think the radiation just mutated people differently like how people are more susceptible to different diseases and stuff. That’s why some can age and can starve and some don’t.
Don't ghouls not need to eat?
...also, wouldn't Billy be seven shades of insane after being curled up for centuries alone in the dark?
apparently, ghouls can somewhat hibernate. fera clearly can, but it's never explained
I assume it felt like just a little while for him
Whose to say he was referring to the war though? These explosions could have come from the minutemen battle that happened in concord some weeks ago (or months, I forget when exactly it happened)
@@TalkingTurtle97 He mentioned sirens going off though, which obviously points to it being the Great War
@@diviny1139 Not necessarily? Sirens could have been used while the minutemen where there
Even IF Billy did not need to eat, drink, or even breathe to live... Wouldn't he have gone completely insane, being trapped in such a tiny, dark space for 200 years?
Sole survivor was trapped in a tiny dark space for 200 years. His/her sense of time got completely messed up and only thought a decade or two has passed. Perhaps the same happened with billy. Being in a fridge for that long with no way to tell how long time has passed, maybe for him it only felt like a few months or years. Even thought it’s been 200.
Oof
@@aeternus2036 Sole Survivor was in a frozen time... To him/her, not a minute passed... That should be obvious.

@Basically I'm Schlorping get locked in a small dark box then tell me about your sense of time. It's not the best logic but you overestimate how dumb it is.
1:40 I know there’s no canon lore to allow this theory, but my theory is that Jet was a very premature chem on the east coast. Myron didn’t actually create jet, he created a way to make jet post war. So Myron studied pre war jet and found a way to make it in a post war fashion. This is how I rationalize it since the non Bethesda games take place on the west coast and Bethesda games take place on the east coast.
That's not a theory, it's more or less facts, Myron didn't create jet. There's a voice line in F2 where you can expose him for this. He admits he didn't make it but not to tell anyone, he only made a way to make it faster
@@MrMadre that’s crazy makes sense why people don’t know about it, any clips on UA-cam anywhere?
@@MrMadre i also remember this, i dont understand when ‘fallout fans’ say Myron created it -_-
Jet is really just the fallout universe's name for methamphetamine. Like how Fallout 3 had to change Morphine to Med-X most of the original names were made up to avoid censorship problems since there's some inherent ickyness in making a real-life drug essentially a 'powerup'. But in some dialogue with the pharmacist in New Reno you learn that jet addiction is just good ol' fashioned meth addiction.
@@havcola6983 damn imagine a radioactive cow so screwed up it farts basically meth.

The problem is that the game doesn't include any such explanation.
You know it's sloppy when Bethesda can't even keep its own lore straight, much less what came before.
@@LadyDoomsinger Thing is it wasn't just Power Armor, Prime was supposed to go to Anchorage until they reached the deadline that forced the US Government to pull out a shit ton of protoypes like vertibrids, and gauss rifles to replace Prime.

I mean Nick is 100% my favourite, but would have been just so awesome if he was to also be Kellogg as well somewhere inside and maybe you could actually talk to Kellogg and get his take on why he did what he did instead it is "bad guy" "kill him" "learn nothing else" and by do what he did I mean why he took the implants and whatnot, you know the shit we never learn about mainly is what I am talking about.

my favorite is Deacon, 2nd Fave is Codsworth, 3rd is Cait, 4th is Dogmeat. But yeah I do like Nick as well. He's prob comes in 6th for me right after Hancock. I honestly never liked X6 and I usually dont travel with MacCready. I usually avoid the Vault Curie was in but I did get her once and she was meh. Piper is just too damn "I want to help the world" type. I almost forgot preston....yeah I dont need someone bugging me every 5 seconds for shit I dont care about so him and strong are last. I wouldnt mind strong if he just stfu once in a while but he never does.

Dogmeat obviously has the best storytelling ability.
Strong is one of those characters that it actually hurts my ears to hear talk all the damn time.
Preston is basically male Piper but worse somehow.

Nah if you are talking about kellogg being sent to find virgil that was recent like a while ago as x6-88 is in that memory plus Amari says that is recent
Kellogg's memories are kind of a narrative mess, really; Bethesda was so set on that major plot twist that Shaun was actually old and now head of the Institute that they forced a bunch of plot elements that in hindsight make little sense. As far as I can tell, Kellogg's memories conveniently have a 60-year gap between the memory of him taking Shaun from the Vault and him living with "Synth Shaun" in Diamond City.
The weirdest part about Kellogg isn't even that he hasn't aged at all in over 60 years - that can be explained by cybernetic sci-fi techno-babble. But *why* hasn't he changed his hair *or* his clothes in over 60 years?!

I like to think that Molly had an in-built timer that had the date of the "expected" declassification of the Liberty Prime project that once it was over, Cambridge Polymer could talk about it. But since the bombs fell, no one could reprogram her to not say the speech, so enough time passed that her programming says "Oh! I can talk about this now."
That would suggest Molly is deviating from her programming.
Well-maintained robots in the fallout universe stick closely to their programming (Curie needed clearance to open a unlocked door from anyone claiming to be from Vault TEC, the general atomic galleria staff continue to operate the display and follow outdated protocols).
Robots that aren't well maintained deviate from their programming (I.E Codsworth having emotions, that Assaultron who opened a shop, whatever Deezer is doing) and usually can elaborate on their programming.

About Jet: This plothole was fixed lateron by a change in the lore. Jet was a pre-war medication for cows to make them produce more milk and prevent them from getting sick. It lead to minor mutations ans After the war, brahmins already produced the stuff in their organs, so that their 'leftovers' contained traces of it.
After the war, the original way to make it was lost, so not many people knew the drug any more. And the guy in fallout 2 just found a new way to make it by purifying bramin dung.
I was more curious about why the Brotherhood just went and blew up the Institute. Every Fallout game tells me that the Brotherhood's agenda is collection of technology. What's the Institute if not the holy grail of such technology? Cybernetics, bio research, weaponry, teleportation?...
overmind06 look at what happened to Maxson. He worshipped Sarah and became... unforgiving.
Exactly. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's dictated in their codex which is the equivalent to the Bible. But then again, since Lyon's leadership, the brotherhood has changed. Still, it's highly out of character to blow the entirety of the institute complex, even if they despise the place as a synth factory. Sounds more like something the Legion would do, loathing technology, blowing up an underground complex full of technologies.
@@JerichoJulius0 Maxon took the brotherhood on a far more zealous path than Lyons- I like this, it shows a realistic evolution of a group over time

There are so many in Fallout 4! My biggest gripe, out of all of them, are NPC’s reactions to companions. You’re telling me, the anti-(ghoul, super mutant, synth, railroad) BOS is going to be perfectly ok with you and your companion being on their flagship?
Compared this to NV. If you had Boone with you, he would attack any member of the Legion regardless of the character’s relationship with them.
Yep.. Boone pretty much chose which faction I wasn't going to be on that playthrough XD
The only accurate reaction outside of dialogue is from Danse after he leaves the BoS.
Yeah, the closest you get is some bickering between them and it sucks when you realises there are small details with companions that no one would care of such as Codsworth talking to that chef protectron in diamond city and fully understanding him as they chat about robCo
To be fair, they tolerated Charon and Flawks....back in DC. But what do I know, I'm probably getting an answer
Excellent logic. BOS don't like ghouls therefore it doesn't make sense for them to make an exception for you and is therefore bad writing. Like certainly there are a million different reasons as to why they put up with allowing your ghoul/super mutant companion with you. FO3 did the same thing with the super mutant companion. It's almost like it doesn't matter and it would just be annoying to have to send your follower back to wherever whenever you wanted to get onto the Prydwen because you know, it's a game...
As far as the Warwick thing goes, I always felt that the quest Blind Betrayal should have intentionally ended the same way. If the player chooses to kill Danse, they loot his corpse, only to discover that there is no synth component. And there's never any explanation or follow-up, you're just left wondering what the truth really was and if you did the right thing. That shit would have haunted me for weeks.
Maybe I'm just weird, but unanswered mysteries always get under my skin, in the best possible way.
To me the biggest plot hole is that the institute needed to take shaun at all. if all they needed was his 'uncorrupted dna', all they would have needed is something like bone marrow samples. And that could have come from the parents.
Considering you were on the surface when the bombs went off and the blast wave reached the elevator just as you descended wouldnt you be exposed to some amount of rads

If you do certain dialogue's in Fallout 2. You find out that Jet Addiction is what got one woman kicked out of the city growing up around Vault 8 i believe it is. Can't remember her name right now, just remember she's a woman you can end up sleeping with. And that event the way she talks about it was a few decades in her past. Before the boy genius supposedly came up with it. Which directly contradicts the supposed creation of Jet even within it's own game. So it's not really as much of a plot hole as it's treated as. This is even in the Wiki and a few other sources. Though it tends to be heavily ignored by most desperate to make this a plothole and thus a huge mark against the game and Bethesda.

There is an easy retcon to whole Jet/Myron situation:
Myron recreated Jet, not created it from scratch. As he himself describes it he was looking to create that kind of drug and only incidentally found it's brahmin dung that's the main ingredient.
@@PobortzaPl Except... All of that is completely un-needed if the game myron comes from. And even potentially Myron himself potentially contradicts the narrative anyway. Which it does to some fair extent. Many people have not played the game and they go off of things like the Fallout Bible (which is non-cannon and had horrendous continuity issues to begin with) Or they go off of things that people have told them or occasionally the wiki. Which has been getting edited lately to actually remove that factual details in the game surrounding the issue of Myron and Jet by some of these same people.
honestly, i feel like if they gave us a dlc or a line of side quests where we explore nick being taken over by kellog and maybe dealing with some stuff from kellogs past or finding some way to to otherwise remove either nick or kellog from the body and choosing which one gets to go on would've been pretty neat, maybe we can be given a perk for helping kellog take over nick or something
Now, I'm not saying we should replace everyone with a bad tempter or bad intentions, but if I had an abusive father, I wouldn't mind him being replaced with a nicer version of him. Is that just me or would anyone else agree?
As far as I can remember, he wasn't actually "abusive" - he's described to "have a temper" and sometimes being unpleasant or stubborn. There is to my knowledge no mention of him physically hurting anyone (emotional abuse can be a bit more complicated to figure out). Even if he was abusive, being "replaced" implies the original was killed (so he wouldn't turn up and expose the replacement) - or at the very least held captive at the institute - probably used for nefarious experiments (such as their FEV project) - nobody deserves that, even if they are abusive.
I'm pretty sure there's a terminal entry about how the replacement is running experiments on the family, and will murder them all when it's done, so it kind of ruined that theme. I really like the idea of a particularly terrible person being replaced by a synth who's actually a decent guy, you could tie in all sorts of moral and philosophical questions, for the family and the synth and the player. Whether or not the player should tell everyone, or maybe someone already knows and wants to keep it a secret, or maybe you could talk the synth into admitting it and the family would react based on your conversations with them. So much potential. It would make a great quest, but of course, they had to screw it up.

I think it is time Fallout needs to be taken away from Bethedesa and make Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 non canon
I always found it weird that nobody settled Sanctuary before you came out of the vault, like in comparison to other places, Sanctuary is in pretty good condition, and there's also the mysterious workbenches that end up there which would lead you to believe that someone attempted to settle there at one point. But when you get there, aside of, Codsworth its completely abandoned.
Sanctuary and the house used as a player base makes me feel like Sanctuary was used for a while by merchants/caravans as a temporary settlement. We also should consider that Sanctuary is really far away from Diamond City, that is the ''center'' of the Commonwealth.
Or how half the settlements look like they just got there and nobody bothered picking up the trash or removing the skeletons or boarding up windows or getting fresh food and water going or doing anything remotely productive in general. Bethesda makes good games but this game is supposed to be 200+ years after the bombs, not 2 years before anyone has had the chance to do anything productive
Actually i am pretty sure Codsworth killed all of the intruders.
People definitely tried to. In some homes there are barricades as if they used it as a defensive hold.
@@robvinsky I would legitimately say this tends to be an issue with the franchise in general. Even New Vegas which I do love as a game in many locations doesn't look like it has been occupied by an industrial society for 8 years, much less under a technocrat like Mr. House. It is just basic stuff like moving the broken cars from the road and maybe paving up some of the highways with the concrete pouring equipment we know the NCR has which would give it a feeling of being more inhabited.
This really just seems to be more of an issue with the franchise itself really wanting to maintain a certain look even when logically things should be cleaned up a bit more.

In their world they could have just code worded the cow dung as jet, which just became a more advanced form when the bombs fell. As I said it doesn't really conflict with anything because Caravanners could have literally been inspired to make jet because they were aware that poop fumes were a thing.
2. I don't find it hard to believe, plenty of stupid things slip past the smartest people on the planet in our every day lives. Some things that happen in our daily lives are just a happenstance of freak stupidity. like a guy sending Google random bills through the mail and the company actually paying them and him getting away with millions of dollars until he's eventually caught. Just because a guy got away with it for years doesn't mean that the institute would be fooled forever.

It would have been amazing if they did more with Kellogg living in Nick’s head.
Perhaps he could have made commentary on your actions as you progress through the main storyline. There could have been a quest where you have to try and get him out of there. You could even go so far as to put him into a new synth body.
For as important to the main story as he is, Kellogg actually has very little interaction with the player, so it would have been cool to see more of him after he died
Always bothered me the fact we went in Kellogs mind and were not able to tell that the kidnapping scene happened 60 years prior and that Kellog seemingly doesn't question or monologue the fact that the Shaun Synth was a synth or the very least the strangeness that he kidnapped that kid 60 years ago and he is still a kid.
Kellogg in Nicks head Just sparked an Idea for a Quest in my head:
Nick Acts more and more Like Kellogg while you travel with him and do detective Work. At some Point He Attacks you and Kellogg tries to Take over nicks Body. Nick then tries to get Kellogg Out of His psyche/Data/whatever, But cant get it done. He tells you, you have to kill him and Kellogg with him. But maybe the Institute or the railroad can Help. You then enter Nicks subconscious memory, where Kellogg has Hidden away, because He noticed Nick trying to get him Out. And then you find yourself in the memories of the REAL Nick Valentine. The human. Synth-nicks detective persona and human-Nicks cop Life have merged a little, you enter Nicks office and then you do some noir-film-esque detective Work to track down kellogg, the new Strange mercenary in town, kill him and restore Nicks Psyche.

Never thought of this as a problem... my thoughts has always been that the boy wonder found a stash of jet and made more... either through reverse engineering or finding a recipe close to the stash.... I'm just surprised that people see this as a major problem since it's not something new... many things in our world get "discovered" or "invented" even though it already existed but was forgotten.... which is highly possible in a world that got nuked and lost most records... but that's just me
And this is how you know if people only ever learn about drugs from TV or games. Theres a ton of different compounds that give the "same" effect as LSD or extasy, theyre all called the same thing as the original but is new stuff. Jet is probably no different, if it is indeed just brahmin gas then people would have already found it before the war. I mean its not like people get high on lighter fluids or something...
@@Mr3ppozz the reason the invention of jet is often brought up is because is an easy example that requires no in depth knowledge to fully understand, the problem being exemplified being bethesda's complete lack of regard for even the pretense of continuity in any of their games.
@@gmh3 My understanding was that Jet is a vaporized form of methamphetamine (understandable since one of the ingredients in FO4 is Fertilizer).
Conversely, MedX is Morphine and Psycho is PCP given then in-game effects.
@@harlandmountain7998 Going by that route, a possible explanation is that Myron found a new way to synthesize it?
The biggest plot hole. Shawn's plan is don't send a synth to meet you at 101 exit but expected you to:
1-kill an "unkillable" courser.
2- find railroad.
3-go to hell on earth Glowing sea and find virgil (that can be anywhere in the commonwealth by now).
4- build a teleporter out of junk.
5-believe him to be your shawn with zero evidence.
He didn't release you to come find him
He says that was a possibility but he didn't know.
He released you just to see how you acted. What kind of person you were. I'm sure he would have teleported out eventually to meet you, but you beat him to the punch.
In essence he didn't plan for you to do all this.
He just expected you to live, that's what he wanted to see. That was his plan.
101? i really hope you mean 111. 101 is in the capital wasteland. otherwise shaun's plan is even stupider.
@@NewPaulActs17 my bad. Got the vaults mixed up. 111 yes.
@@levitobias8031 5-how the hell do i know he is my shawn? All the info he has he could have read Piper's paper since you stupidly tell her EVERYTHING.
@@levitobias8031 Actually he pretty much says outright he didn't expect you to live.
The Maybe True Story of Jet: Myron from Fallout 2 was so high that, when talking to the Chosen One, Myron thought he invented Jet. In fact, it had been around since before the War.
I always kind of assumed that a drug named Jet existed pre-war, possibly having similar effects to the chem Myron invented, and he just named his invention the same.
With the Jet plot hole, it could be easily covered up by retconning Fallout 2's story with it being a jet alternative. For example, it could be that brahmin dung gives a very similar effect compared to pre-war jet, but after the bombs fell, pre-war jet was all used up, so some crazed scientist found out how to create jet again but with a different recipe
Synths replace Humans by killing them. Roger killed the Synth that was send to take his place. Then he become sober because he knows, if the Institute figure out that their Synths was destroyed they will send another one. And another one. Until he is replaced. Roger is a Human, acting like a Synth working for the Institute to the purpose of his survival. At the core. He replaced the Synth that should replace him.
Plothole fixed.
Askavi possible that doesn’t solve the anger problem.
I just saw the Hulk in Avengers: Endgame talking about Science stuff and wearing glasses... talking about anger resolving plot holes... i just dont care anymore ...
@@LazyKingAusthat easy fear
he knows that if get angry they will notice that is why he trying to act calm fear is motivating this man to not lose control and also being sober can also resolve his anger issue
your dumb the institute can tell if a synth has 'lost it's vitals'.
@@gabebachke12 what if the scientist took pity on the man? None of this is probably even a thought in the guy who wrote it but I think something like this could be a cool little twist
How much you wanna bet the jet plot hole was caused because they hired someone who never played the original fallout games
Do people who write these games actually play them? I wouldnt play video games if my job was video games.
@@spicybeantofu If you dont play video games, you should not work on video games.
Its like saying - "Do people who write screenplay watch movies? I wouldn't watch movies if my job was movies." Well, you would be shit at your job then. If you are not a fan of the medium, dont work for the medium, go find a job in whatever the fuck you enjoy.
@@liboud22 So in your way of thinking, all airplane mechanics need to be pilots aswell? Sometimes distance is a good thing when writing, less chance to be sucked in to old tropes.
@@Tatwinus you're taking things too literally and too far. His logic only implies that you should work on something you are passionate about. Your example with the plane could be said that the machanic really has a passion for airplanes in its every form, be it in the air or on the ground. You don't have to be overly passionate, can just be a hobby too you know.
@@Tatwinus No, they dont need to know how to fly the plane, but they absolutely need to understand how the fuck an aircraft works. You dont go - "Well I wouldn't learn about aircrafts, if my job is to fix aircrafts."
That is the essential, knowing the basics of whatever the fuck you want to do. A mechanic needs to learn everything about the machine. A lawyer needs to learn all the laws of the land. A movie maker needs to learn everything about movies. And a video game creator needs to learn everything about video games.
Because if you don't, you are shit at your job.
I always like the sarcastic reaction you can pick when Nick/Kellogg says that. "What? You ready for round two? Let's go!" 🤣
I actually love the flip flopping with ghouls cuz it makes it more real radiation is very unpredictable
I love how you used the phrase 'grew out of it' to describe a child becoming an adult. Yeah, I used to be a kid, but I grew out of that. It was just a phase.
Senis Pucker it was
It’s not just a phase _mom_
I mean... technically, yes. Still a weird way to phrase it though.
Sooo many people DON'T grow out of it tho.
Your never grow out of it if your physically stunted from malnutrition
I randomly killed Roger Warwick during a “what if” session before knowing any of this and he dropped a synth component when killed, that’s how I found out he was a synth, they must have patched it lol
Synth components are scripted to be added to a flagged NPCs inventory upon death. When he losses his essential status and gets updated it removes his flagging for some reason so he dosent drop it. It’s a weird glitch
@@scorchercast8366 what you are saying makes sense but I wonder how I can pickpocket someone and see a synth component in their inventory? Does it just have them with it or should it only be when they die?
@@alanluscombe8a553 given synth components are located in the core of a synths brain if they have one you can pick pocket if dosent mean there synth. It just means they some how got there hands on a synth component and are carrying it around
If there actually a synth it should only spawn in there inventory on death as synth components are undetectable except upon a post mortem autopsy
@@scorchercast8366 aaahhhh I see, thanks for explaining I was confused when I pickpocket someone and they have the component
@@alanluscombe8a553 "Lemme just uh, here we are!"
*synth dies*
Headcanon for Roger Warwick. What if the Institute ran an experiment to see if regular humans could be convinced they were synths, and follow programming? The data would all show he had been made a synth to ensure everyone not directly involved with the research just thought he was one, but in reality he'd just been brainwashed. It does seem to fall within the Institute's methods, and research into the human brain could potentially be applied to creating even more advanced synths.
The odds of both of Billy’s parents being ghouls and not feral…. Also plot hole - why leave them next to a gunners camp instead of offering them a home
I mean everyone is literally cannibals if you’ve ever eaten “iguana bits” Iguana Bob strikes from beyond the grave.
There is also the guy making potted meat with ghoul meat mixed in
Darryl Ferguson bro that’s how you go from gruel to ghouuulllll
_This is why i don't eat random post-war foodstuffs_
Spartan War118 if you want something fun to think about. In real life it’s like something around 8% of the mass in canned meats and minced meats like hamburgers and chicken nuggets is human DNA.
So everyone in real life has committed cannibalism.
@@KEB3RTXELA Is this human DNA in chicken nuggets like some absurd urban legend meme or what? Haven't heard that one before
With the kellog thing on nick, there could be a passive skill, like "Permanently increase Nick's damage and accuracy by 40%, but has a little chance to shoot you randomly"
You know how bad that would suck on Survival? You'd be dead so fast.
Too creative for Bethesenda post Morrowind.

fallout 4 contains so many plot holes it could trigger trypophobia
Mr House, F:NV: "Cats are extinct." F4: *has cats*
Counter point: Robert House made an assumption, because there are no cats to be found in the Mojave and New California. Especially because he asserts it as a fact, but does not provide evidence. Cats may well have managed to survive in some places and not others. Since it's really damn hard to wipe out a species that ubiquitous. Doubly so when you realize cats are an invasive species in most locales. So House? Yeah he ain't as smart as he'd like everyone to believe. Especially not with how easily you can disable his security, shut down his robots, and go kill him. Especially when better security features exist in places he had build and that he approved the designs of.
Natsume-Hime house isn’t stupid, he’s just a gambler by nature, and in the case of the main plot, his hand just isn’t as stacked as he thinks.
James Alexander but he maybe only had access to Mojave volts
@@Deamons64 hes disconnected from his network, he doesnt have any contact with the rest of Nevada let alone the east coast
There was a cat in 3 and a few in 2
The "Kellogg possessing Valentine" isn't a plot hole, really, so much as a "Chekhov's Gun" violation.
What's that?
@@blairthomas3920 Famous Russian author and playwright Anton Chekhov once famously said "Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there."
Here, Kellogg possesses Valentine for a total of one whole line, but then it's never brought up again. Bethesda put the rifle on the wall but then never followed up with the bang.
I actually have a three-hour video on my channel where I go into exuberant amounts of detail about this game, its strengths, and its flaws, if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/4jHf4gKc5so/v-deo.html
Oh shit, thanks man. I'm definitely gonna look into this
Exactly, because it isn't a plot hole as it can be easily explained, just shitty storytelling because it was completely useless
My solution for the Kid in the Fridge:
To begin with, the slaver is just misinformed. Let's be real, he doesn't appear to be in any danger of becoming an institute scientist. The kid himself was ghulified slightly younger-looking than he is now. Fallout's fridges are nuclear-powered (which is why they can still preserve food) and through a combination of being a Ghul and the low temperature in the fridge, his ghul-tabolism was slowed down so far as to survive a crisp 200 years without food. Stupid mental gymnastics? Sure, but it works! :D
Synth components: I believe that synth components don’t do anything. Gen 3 synths are biological androids or replicants or something. There’s no reason they should have any design features in common with earlier synths. So my best guess is that the Institute adds “synth components” as a marker or symbol, a part of their ongoing psychosocial work on defining synth slaves as “not people”.
Maybe the Warwick synth just happens to be without one, due to a manufacturing oversight or whatever.
Another plot hole: in the scenes where Kellog kidnaps Shaun, he’s working for Father, or at least for “the old man”. I have head canon explanations, but as written it doesn’t make any sense.
My favorite plot hole is how Shaun is not deaf considering he was less than a year old when a .44 magnum went off less than a foot away from him, the sound of which could be heard through your cryo pod
In a fuckin vault without ear protection too, kellog better have been wearing some ears or he'd be deaf aswell
He could be deaf - would explain why he basically ignores everything the player says to him, and responds the same no matter what dialogue option you choose.
But then, if that was the case, that would imply that 80 - 99% of the Commonwealth's population is deaf.
If I remember correctly that kid that made jet could be pressured into admitting he didn't make it
just another anime profile pic I’m pretty sure it’s canon that Myron made Jet after the war
@@theonethingwealladore it's been a while since I played fallout 2 and I'm not that concerned with "who made what" lore so you might be right
And then he got killed by a jet addict
Fo2 jet is jenkem fo4 jet is amphetamine the drug names were changed from their real life counterparts ie: medx/morphine because of clarification laws in Australia and a couple of other countries
With a high enough science skill you could convince him that all he did was create an apsirated amphetamine and combined it with fumes, rather than mastermind the most perfect drug from a pusher’s perspective from scratch (I believe there was a cut quest where you could develop and release a cure for jet addiction in FO2) but it was more about getting him to admit that his genius was actually just developing and building on stuff that already existed, than getting him to admit he didn’t create jet.
Mind you, 1997/98 was a fair time ago, so I may have misremembered it, but Myron gets really shitty with you when you point out that “he ain’t all that”, and that anyone with access to some of the same information could probably have come up with Jet. But ultimately it was about making Jet extra-addictive, I think. I think that the “jet didn’t exist prior to the war” is a combination of an unreliable narrator bogging themselves up to look like a criminal genius, and a Mandela effect.
Happy to be proven wrong, but that’s my memory/theory.
Jet is based on Jenkam, basically feces fermented in urine, so some form of jet was likley available before the war
On ghouls: I like to think of it as them needing food to use energy or grow, but otherwise it is unneeded.
so, a Ghoul can essentially hibernate forever, but if they are moving around or even thinking particularly hard, they'll need to eat.
also, stops physical growth until they eat. so a kid will be a kid forever until they've got biomass coming in.
That moment with Nick Valentine made me stop bringing him with me on story missions cause I was worried he'd go kelllog on me
He should have, it would have made for a good story dynamic as he slowly lost his mind
Didn’t Nick say he was kidding afterwards though? Pretty sure there is no Kellogg in his head.
Gage Morris no, after he does the Kellogg thing, he is disordered and doesn’t remember that previous moment. I don’t believe he was kidding
nop, he doesnt say it. Actually, he doesnt even remember that he said something like that. so yeah, in that moment, kellog took over nick, and it would be so much fun having this duality, where kellog could took over him anytime and then a subplot develops. but, bethesda going to be bethesda!
When you bring it up he says Dr Amari warned them about lingering neuro something or another but he'll be alright. So basically he has an impression of Kellogg that will pass.
Liberty Prime wasn't that secret - there's a picture of Mr House standing in front of it in the lobby of Camp Golf.
there was also a newspaper that stated that the government had been working on a superweapon to liberate Alaska
Let's not forget the Anti-Communist propaganda posters with Liberty Prime portrayed in the background (There's also another one with a Chinese Robot, so not to confuse them.)
I was at camp golf today the old guy killed himself
@@jollystyr get his ranger sequoia
@@NewPaulActs17 i did and dropped so assholes with it too
For the liberty prime one I think that (in universe) they were going to announce LP to the public after the battle. The government told the company their plan so they set a timer where the robot would talk about LP. Since they didn’t use LP and the bombs dropped the company didn’t have a chance or forgot to remove the timer and the dialogue.
2:20 from my understanding the kid was lying and I'm fairly certon Tactual bacon productions covered this.
I feel like a lot of things in fallout 4 were “fuck it, get rid of that half and we’ll just release it this year”
Game development in a nutshell
Bethesda Development cycle in a nutshell.... Just like they've done with Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout 4....
I agree with this a lot, there’s at least two places I’ve found where it seems more was going on. Fort strong has a secret room with a fat man which would make sense of course since it was LITERALLY INVENTED THERE. But that room was cut. I feel like it should’ve also had a cool unique T-51 set since it was also the place where they were working on it. The generic power armour just isn’t good enough. The other place is Boston public library, there was a cut quest there about the preservation of knowledge. You find the guy who asks you to finish their work on the terminal entry but then... nothing. I’m rambling but I’m on another new play through again and these things just bug me lol
@@LazyY91 You're acting like Fallout 4 isn't the highest rated and most financially successful Fallout game to date.
It's easy to verify on google.
You don't like Bethesda. Fine. But don't act like every other game and company is even remotely perfect.
At least attempt to hide your bias and ignorant stupidity.
The sign outside the combat zone that says something like "NO FIGHTING OUTSIDE THE PIT" but the raiders immediately shoot you when you arrive. Or the tied up prisoners in the combat zone that you can't free.
I thought that the Kellogg line from Nick was either, a) Kellogg using the last of the power in his chip to taunt the player and give them paranoia, or b) Nick playing a prank
Playing that kind of prank is not like Nick. Matter of fact he doesn't seem to ever like it when you are sarcastic to him or others. Plus of all the jokes or pranks he could do that would be the last choice since it hits pretty deep at an emotional subject. I do like your option A it gets my vote.
To me, it seems like Kellogg left the recording there just in case the player found him, killed him, and accessed his memories. Like an "if I'm this, it means I'm dead" kind of message to his enemy, which is the player. It also has the same sound effect that plays when holotapes play.
@@dweller132 it's still a cool concept (nick may be kellogg AT ANY TIME) that goes nowhere. That's the biggest problem. It's like putting a shotgun on a play (chekov's gun) and not using it.

I always thought Billy was supposed to be small - like growth stunted. Whether it was because of the fridge, or no food, or if he had a glandular issue before becoming a ghoul, there was no way he could grow up trapped in a fridge for two centuries. Even ghouls go insane - from the number of ferals you could say they're quite prone to being unstable - it's just Billy's version of losing his mind was different to most.
TLDR - Billy was a midget ghoul who believed he was still a child and his traumatised parents were so glad to see him after two centuries that they just went with it.
