    So I counted the tick marks on the gun wrong. Also, there is no way to know exactly how many men he killed due to the way the game uses textures--it mirrors them on each side of the gun. So the texture has 38 tick marks, but since it is mirrored, the gun has 76. So he could have killed between 38 or 76 men.
    Also, the difference between 1918 and 2044 is 126 years, not 63.
    Thanks for clearing up the BoS label on the folder--this was due to a texture mod I had installed.
    Finally, we're forced to believe 1 of 2 options--that Festus replaced all delivery drivers, and continues to deliver the soda to machines to this day (which requires me to suspend too much of my disbelief, since he is an animatronic toy in a box), or that the company bought another, unnamed experimental robot truck driver (at the exact same time they bought Festus) which we never see in any trucks, nor anywhere else in any Fallout game. I'm not satisfied with either explanation, honestly.

      Hey Ox, If the Sunset Sarsaparilla Company was founded in 1918, and the Nuka Cola Company was founded in 2044, then the SS company is 126 years older than the NC company, not just 63 years older as you've said.

    • @grefsteel3989
      @grefsteel3989 7 років тому +226

      Um Ox also... the recipe for the sunset sarsparilla came from a family. It is very possible the date shown on the sarsparillas is the date of the recipe, not the date when mass production started. Thinking about it this way it all makes sense.

      I encountered him way earlier in Sloan. That's where he approached me bout the Caps. After Sloan I went to check on the Major of Nipton. I had the Jackals gang fight. Blew em all at once with Dynamite. Ran to Nipton's entrance, but only noticed Jacklyn, no gunfight.
      Just learned about that here in the video. So now I'll be going back to that save point and look for Thomas lying in the wasteland behind where Jacklyn came running up to me. I didn't put too much thought into the 'someone chased/attacked her' dialog back then. Amazing how after all these years, NV is still holding my heart hostage.

      It makes sense, but it also means that the bartender did kill the man to avoid fulfilling his end of the agreement. This also assumes that since it wasn't mentioned in the story that festus told, that the bartender had to have gotten that information before he killed the man and took the recipe. Then again, the bartender could have made it up to make the company look older.

      I live in Vegas and went to our museum, and there is alot of historical shit like the old mob families like the Van Graffs , Nellis Airforcebase legends, hooverdam conspiracies aswell as facts and marylin Monroe and Elvis secrets and debuts here back in the hay day Facts and legends also how we got a stripclub here that’s so old that it’s backed up by the old Wild West laws that allow it the only strip club to sell alcohol and fully nude girls , (which is illegal now : clubs can only serve alcohol in a topless joints) but the point of what I’m saying is there was a soda company here back at the end of the Wild wild West days the flavor was sarsaparilla something and the story goes exact the buyer was to not change the recipe and in end (he did) and the owner found out so to protect his family legacy did the deed well, so many believe is what I learned the buyer disappeared with the owner never to be seen , the company didn’t live long for health reasons years into business, many people got sick after drinking the softdrink after a few years , you know like how we drink Coca Cola. To this day it’s still mystery where they went. it’s crazy how Fallout adds real historic events in their video games .

      @MustangNinjas 7 років тому +11

      Logical Phallusy Dude, I'm just trying to be positive. This is a fun video about Fallout lore, not an informational documentary on historical topics. Watching this video over again, I don't see how him nitpicking or screwing up on a few minor facts is so detrimental to Obsidian's image that he is a "slanderer/hypocrite" who deserves outrage. I also don't see how him asking for Patreon donations makes him worse than someone who does this kinda thing for free either. Guy's gotta make money somehow. I think you're taking this way too seriously. Obsidian definitely doesn't care, they've left the Fallout franchise behind. They certainly don't need you wearing out your hands keyboard warrior-ing in their defense. Be happy that people make these type of videos at all. And enjoy said videos, rather than trying to rally people against creators and being negative towards a positive comment.

    I don't think Festus was the robot they reference in the computers. Remember that guy who gave you the quest mentions that someone keeps refilling the vending machines and the computer in the loading bay mentions a robot is already doing the deliveries. So there is a robot wandering the desert refilling the machines and comeing back to the factory every once in a while to restock.
    So unless it's cut content, there may be a robot filled with bottles wandering out there and no one noticed.

Even going so far as to try to change the past. This is a man so diluted, he tried to beat death and live forever. Clearly a man not within normal faculties.

      I believe ive solved the riddle. Its absolutely not victor, since he works for Mr House. Theres also no real reason for a company thats already working directly with robco to invite Mr House in as a middleman. I think based on the information we can assume that Festus came AFTER the newfangled robot. They had already tripled their sales before even coming up with the idea for a contest to begin with. Wikipedia says this happened around 2077. So if by 2077 the other robots were already operating, and mister handy was 1st invented in 2037, theres a pretty good chance it could have been mister handy. Even more interesting is that mister handy didn’t gain popularity until at least 2042 when it was used to help clean up after a large earthquake in mexico. So if by 2077 sunset sarsaparilla is cranking out bottles, and just 35 years before that this new robot with ALL the necessary features was popularized...... i think we can safely assume that mister handy is this “newfangled new robot”. I think when that guy says everything was being “singlehandedly” taken over by a robot i don’t think he literally meant 1 single robot. I believe he was referring to a single model of robot. Maybe mister handy does packaging and delivery and the protectrons are considered security and not part of actual manufacturing or delivery. In that scenario mr handy could logically be considered to be the newfangled robot. Mr handy is also clearly the most versatile of the robots, he can shoot, he floats over any terrain, he cleans, he bottles, and apparently he repairs water leaks and all sorts of other things. Victor on the other hand doesn’t do half of that stuff, he’s basically just a stalker with creepy smile and a gun. I think it’s basically confirmed that the “newfangled robots” have to be mister handy, because everything coincides, even the years and their functionality. The same can’t be said of any other robot models.

      And as time goes on, he start to became a part of the wasteland, became a wanderer who would do anything just for his goal even killing, and after he finally got enough of it, he goes to the factory, gave festus all his cap, and go to receive his life goal, and after realizing the thing he has been chasing his whole life is just a bunch of toy medal, feeling all dispersed, he ended his own life in shame

    So, Mr Handies in a RobCo facility is getting the Lore wrong?
    "Mister Handy robots are utility robots created as part of a joint project between General Atomics International and RobCo Industries."
    Obsidian has many employees who worked on the original Fallout games, one of them even said in a Reddit post that they did use the old Fallout Bible and old documents for refreshing their memories, which sometimes lead to conflicts due to the changes Bethesda made to the Fallout Lore.
    That also explains the 1918 vs 2044, originally Nuka Cola was just a parody on Coca Cola, which was founded in 1886, Obsidians fallout veterans propably remembered that. Now Bethesda themself fucked up on their own founding date too, watch the Fallout 4 Intro, in around 1 minute, if those two are supposed to be the great great grandfathers wife and son, then there is a Nuka Cola Bottle in 1944/45.

    See, I don't know anything about this game's mechanics or anything because I've never played, and I am sure there is a reason for it, but hearing someone say they "put on some overalls and used a magazine" to open a locked door is the most random and funniest thing ever.

      Equipping overalls increases your Perception stat which affects your lockpicking skill. Reading a magazine temporarily increases an associated skill.

      it gives you a minor boost to a skill if you wear certaingear(so for lockpicking this is a overall for some reason, usually it makes more sense) and reading a magazine on a subject gives you a minor buff to it aswell for a while.
      Locks are unlocked with lockpicking which goes from 1-100 but has thresholds at 25 50 75 and 100. as in you need more than that to pick the lock. so sometimes you need the litlle buff.
      At least it's not as weird as shooting a mini nuke at a rat and finding a bottle of purified water in the bits that landed near you.

    That means someone else mustve shot him in the head and placed his pistol near him, also- why would he shoot himself in the head during a sentence, probably with a stealth gun like a 22. Lr

    I'm sure that the distribution robot and Festus are two different things. Though the conversation with the guy who first explains the star caps mentions that new sunset saspirilla keep appearing in the vending machines. That means the distribution robot must still be operating and restocking the machines.

    I do think this whole thing is a reference to the old rumor of special wrappers on Tootsie Pops. Certain wrappers were said to have a special design on them and that if you found them you could get a prize from them. I know I heard that rumor alot as a kid even into my high school years.
