You have to be fully irradiated to be granted permission to comment on this video. Those of you who love atom, welcome and thanks for watching!
You and radking should do a collab
@@TheOneTrueREAT Ditto to that.
I live in the Mojave and got uranium poisoning from an abandoned uranium mine in south western utah in 2009 so I can comment
Why am I able to I’m not even subbed?
I eat a lot of bananas. I have Atom's blessing
I've always found the Church of Atom to be fascinating, and makes enough sense to be believed as a religion. I mean think of the state of the wastes, most people need community and guidance. Religion has always offered that, and the lack of education about what radiation and atoms are makes it really easy to spin into something grander, especially when you have people immune to it without becoming ghouls to boot. I'm glad we had the option to join them in Far Harbor, even if it was a monsterous choice.
The deep look into the Children of Atom was by far my favorite part of that DLC. I never did side with one faction or the other though, I've always picked the route that brings a peaceful end to the tension.
@@samvimes9510 lol I accidently pissed everyone off and had to kill every living thing
@@samvimes9510 haha I blew up that sub. It was great.
Ah yes look at all the radiation around. I shall worship you now
Was it really monstrous though.
The fog comes and goes. Blowing up the nuke will kill the harbormen eventually from the heightened rads.
Killing and replacing people is the most monstrous.
Leave atoms island to the people who can actually inhabit it. Remove the people who murdered them. Remove Dima he's actively a monster who will help nothing as made obvious by his replacements not stopping the bigotry and murder of children to begin with.
Children of atom is the only actual answer.
Everyone who detonated the Bomb in Megaton just to set it off knows how much Atom influenced our Mind.
Praise atom
When atom blossomed in these land. Atom went out of it’s way to spread its holy radiance to this wasteland and creating new life out of the past and giving us fools a chance to start over and to remember the one that has brought us strength. May Atom bless you on your journey my friend, for it has blessed me with its holy radiance.😺
☢️☢️☢️ Glory to Atom!!!!☢️☢️☢️
Thank god i killed you all but looks like there,s some straglers left death bot sick em
Death bot: Yes sir
☢️ Praise be to Atom ☢️
@@payodomingo6789 me too brother I thought all the backwards thinking zealots were dead guess not....at least not yet 💀
☢☢ May atom bless you with his holy glow☢☢
One thing I wish Bethesda had done, was including praying station for settlers in the Settlement Workshop. A floor mat or a bench. That way, you could have settlers boost morale through religious means, by praying to Atom (or any deity) within the Fallout universe. This of course would only appear if you joined the Children of Atom.
I feel after the Great War, a movement towards spiritualism might be what brings back a semblance of peace and normalcy. The bombs drop, may as well try to find any reason to stay sane, even if it entailed dancing around sacred fires, or carving runes, or praying to atoms, or whatever the crazies of the waste believe in. It would add depth to the game as well, differing factions with different beliefs, i.e. you follow X Gods and they follow Y Gods therefore they war against one another. Plenty of quest material right there.
@@bjarkiengelsson definitely, I think you are onto something there. Tribes ,tribalism almost always comes with a certain spiritual aspect. Customs or tradition, that avenue could be built on more maybe, with some imaginative writers/devs in the next dlc or Fallout game.
@Bjarki Engelsson while you are right. I doubt we will see any modern company paint religion as positive in any way.
@@whitecreamymilk8436 Probably not. But it does no harm to wish for more.
There's a mod for that. Children Of Atom Settlers
4 minutes in and the followers of Atom is already way more fleshed out than I thought it was.
Funny how they where just a minor faction in fallout 3 into a Private military like in Fallout 4
another video , another time i feel personally obligated to say amazing work as usual . you put an unparalleled amount of time effort research and love in each and every one of your videos . thank you , for making these awesome miniature feature length films 🙏🏽
I have walked the blessed land of Atom's holy kingdom, I have seen the misty bogs, the craggy shores, blanketed in his majestic Fog. I have cavorted with his children, and witnessed the pernicious falsehoods peddled by the nonbelievers huddled by their gates and the False Man in his tower. Far Harbor is a holy land, Atom's holy land; and those who will not submit to His Glow shall face his wrath. Glory to Atom!
☢☢ Glory to Atom☢☢
It is the holy land of Atom people have been blessed to walk through his fog unscathed and we are now blessed to see his profits. We have seen the mother and now through division we will see him. Glory to Atom!!!
I am stunned by the quality, volume and frequency of your uploads. You my good sir, are a champion.
imagine if the COA found the nuke storage building in the capital wasteland? no sign of them in the lonesome road, though. in the japanese copies of fallout 3, you can't detonate the bomb in megaton; for the obvious reason.
You have such a soft soothing voice I could listen to you for hours
there arent many fallout lore channels as good as yours!
You put way too much time and effort into your videos, I love it. Make sure you give yourself a break
i think is my first time leaving a comment on your videos.Just wanted to say a million thanks for the lore videos, i love them so much!
I always watch your videos to help me sleep your voice and story telling is very relaxing
By far you have become my favorite fallout UA-camr
Top man back again with top content!
I love how every video u make is very satisfying cuz u go in such detail and how u explain the lore of the game ,reminds me of radking😌 it would be amazing to see u guys collaborate tho , but ur channel is one of the best when it comes to lore in any game also i just like how smooth ur voice is too 😍
Thank you so much dude! Really appreciate the positive comment 😁
ayyyyeeeeeee love your fallout lore videos my guy keep the goood shit up
I feel like Fallout 3 could have an amazing sequel. Having the largest water purification project a stone's throw from where a radiation based religion started sounds perfect for a conflict. Not to mention that the BoS leaving for the Commonwelath after assuming such a large role would create a massive power vacuum.
Just found your channel! Truly professional quality stuff!!
Love your vids wise fish your the best man and never stop making more vids!🤟🏻🤙🏼
A theory i came up with: Megaton was a prewar POI and the bomb was put there by vault tec as decoration. It being undetonated would be because, due to corporate negligence, a dud was not used like it should have been.
They made a crater with an active nuke as a point of interest I could see the nuke but not the crater
Yes! New lore video from Wisefish ❤️
Love the videos 🙏🏻
Thank you so much dude! Really appreciate it!
Whoever wrote this lore is brilliant, even the Adam/atom homophone is so clever.
Dude your pallette is superb! Is this some reshade or a complete textures overhaul?
Great job
Is it bad that I killed the entire faction by accident during my first play through of Far Harbor?
Atom granted our brethren Division that day. You were an inquisitor of Atom. May Atom smile upon you friend.
Ive gotten high off plutonium so im cleared to comment
Great video wisefish.
This video makes me want to steal all the fire alarms on my building
When Atom’s Whisper song comes up that shit hit different
Praise Atom and pass the gamma rounds.
Nice!!!!
As much as I've seen them as nothing more than unstable, hostile-to-everything bandits, the only thing that gives credence to their beliefs,
is the Vision Quest of Far Harbor. To actually witness the Mother of the Fog... it rather gives this game a "Far Cry vibe". A hallucinating phase.
Made me stop and think, "So, wait, there's really something to this Atom? So then, the Children aren't completely crazy, after all?"
Although, I still think the whole "split atoms, split universes" thing is absurd. It's nothing more than their molecules exploding at the speed of light.
Huzzah! Another video to binge later
I personally destroy the cult, but not before convincing them that they'll be able to bring new creations through atom splitting
What do children of atom do if a member becomes a goul? I'm curious.
As far as I understand they Revere non feral ghouls as sort of Atoms chosen in a way. To be basically immune to radiation and also have an extended lifespan because of it but ferals are seen as forsaken or "lost"
Played far harbor for the first time about a month ago and the children of atom were my favorite part of the dlc
The Children of Atom are one of the best additions to the Bethesda era of Fallout. I love it when those living in the post apocalypse forge their own new belief systems and mythology to explain and cope with the ruined world they live in.
While I wouldn't want to then to become overexposed to the same extent that the Brotherhood or Super Mutants have, I definitely want to see more of them going forward. If we ever get another game set in the Midwest, it would be cool to see them slowly starting to push west from the east coast.
Bathe in his glow, embrace Atom
I find it really funny that everyone including myself took to the children of Atom. I always had a feeling that they were a reference to the movie Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Remember everyone bask in the Glow of Atom.
If you look at it logically, destroying the cult is the only viable course of action. Even if you go along with Dima's plan to replace Tectus with a synth, (which itself is morally questionable at best) it would only be a matter of time before this kinder, gentler Tectus was overthrown and replaced by someone far more radical. Most likely Richter who, given his military background, might begin militarizing the cult, transforming it into a, for lack of a better term, crusading force which would actively wage war against all "non-believers". And if the Children went down that road, their immunity to radiation would give them an overwhelming advantage against almost any other faction and it might only be a matter of time before they secure enough bombs to bring about their "Great Division".
Sounds like that would be an interesting plot for Fallout 5 😎
@@Rookie-2552 100% down for that! Glory unto ATOM⚛️
just kill everyone at far harbor, especially that mayor at the docks, you fcking help her pathetic attempt of a community against some fanatics that try to eradicate them and she tells you to piss off when you kill them. All of them are assholes except alan
I saw very little of this in Fallout 3.
It must have been greatly developed elsewhen.
I ordered the JDS Labs Atom 2 Stack because of this.
I honestly always thought the bomb being in the center of megaton was really dumb. It makes a bit more sense knowing that the children of atom began the settlement.
The children are my favorite faction.
Finally the only faction that’s blessed by Holy Atom!
What about Children of the Atom in the West Coast during Fallout 1, Falout 2 and Fallout Tactics. They are before Megaton?
i really really would love to see chapter in fallout where the childern of atom become a major threat in the wasteland, sorta becoming almost a Spanish inquisition like figure.
Liking and leaving a comment even though Imma watch it later to help with algorithm
I really hope Bethesda do a children of Atom event in 76 I would love to make my Camp a shrine to atom.
I fw this video
All things bright and beautiful!!
I knew what your accent was before I watched the video hahaha why is that. Brits love Fallout don't they
+ Tomb World Survivors

The Children of Atom
Or
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing...
For the defector? 10,000 alive, 1,000 dead.
Have you heard the good word of ☢️ ?
12:38 these radstorms remind me of Command and conquer Lol.
Wisefish, do you think Fallout deserves a movie?
Yes absolutely but only if it’s got a competent writer and director who actually enjoys and knows the games.
Primitive heathens. They need a zeta-scan alignment so they can be one with the great Star Father.
If there ever is a sequel to NV .
The Nevada test site would be perfect for the cul...I mean church
Divison will come soon
Great khans next ok
On it!
How many other people took out the cult in far harbor
The beginning of this video was a bit wrong. You make it seem like the Children were the ones who founded the town and rule the town. I don't think that's remotely true if you play the games or listen to the dialogue. They were one single faction of the survivors that settled in the crater. They were one single faction of those same settlers who dismantled a nearby airport to construct the walls.
Do the Children of Atom use unleaded gas in their cars?
4 and a half minutes in and you're about to convert me, I may need to skip this video
☢️☢️☢️Glory to Atom!!!!!☢️☢️☢️
Unrelated to video, but has anyone else on PS had their Fallout 4 crash super often? Shitt just crashed on me for the 4th time since 10pm (currently 3am)
It crashes a lot on ps4, especially if you are flying over downtown.
Also putting your Playstation to sleep and playing again will most likely cause a crash.
What happen to all the Megs!? There were so many! This is unacceptable! I will make my return! You deserve the support!… and being a meg comes with a mug?… I want a mug!
Edit:….once again I don’t have the discord server link…
So... our sun is killing other worlds🤔
Please do the minutemen.
I’ll try but there’s not much sadly
If that is to hard you should do a video on the many strains of super mutants
i wonder whats the relationship between children of the atom and the ghoul
It's just the same mutation the player can get.
Ghoul on the inside, but normal on the outside.
Your genotype has changed, but not your phenotype.
Right off the bat, a Church in a gloomy land.
GLORY TO ATOM!!!!!!!
They’re not insane at all.
No more than anyone else religious.
i think their origin was Tactics
Glory to the atom!
I saw the fog mother. they have magic so I side with them
*spoiler*
She’s just a normal person who uses stealth boys you can find a couple of them in a building along with a note.
Their religion is based on a misunderstanding
Dawg, between the music you chose and your accent/voice, the first 5 minutes sounds like I’m watching some crazy ass BBC Documentary (no, not _that_ BBC, the other BBC, ya nasty)
no idea why this was recommended......
One thing I really didn't appreciate about Fallout 4 was how it divided everything into a pretty clear line of 'good guys, bad guys' and felt the need to drag every major group into this divide.
The peaceful preachings of Cromwell are turned into a fanatical group of religious zealots murdering their way through the world, the western Brotherhood of Steel dedicated to helping those around them degrade into a fanatical, militaristic tyranny just because Elder Lyons and his daughter died (and apparently everyone is on board with it), the institute full of nerds dedicated to scientific research is a generic boogeyman bad guy where everyone is an asshole and that you must destroy in every path except the one where you're not even allowed to really influence the new direction of the institute.
Meanwhile the heroic underground freedom fighters are fighting the good fight against slavery and the heroic citizens militia is seeking to rebuild the Commonwealth.
It was very shallow and disappointing.
Let's hope the children of atom dont find the mariposa military base😂
Didn't it get blown up?
Oh man I loved the COA in fo3 but I’m not too fond of them in 4, or far habor ngl
Ave true to Caesar
2022 still playing fallout 4.
I bought it on steam because it was on a mega sale. So far it’s great 😌
Nice fanfiction bro, crazy most of the shit you said at the beginning about the creation of the church having no proof
remind me of the fanatics from beneath the planet of the apes
they were ghouls in appearance, and wearing robes like the Master's followers from
Fallout 1
I want them to become even more evil. Like the BoS.
Can I be one if I say I like Boom Booms?
Behold! He is coming with the clouds! And every eye shall be blind with his glory! Every ear shall be stricken deaf to hear the thunder of his voice! Let the men, women, and children of the Earth come forth to gather and behold the power of Atom! Let those who dwell here in his favored land attend now to the words of the Prophet of Atom! Come forth and drink the waters of the Glow, for this ancient weapon of war is our salvation, it is the very symbol of Atom's glory! Let it serve as a reminder of the Division that has occurred in the past and the resplendence of the promise of our division in the times to come! Give your bodies to Atom, my friends. Release yourself to his power, feel his Glow, and be Divided. There shall be no tears, no sorrow, no suffering, for in the Division, we shall see our release from the pain and hardships of this world. Yea, your suffering shall exist no longer; it shall be washed away in Atom's Glow, burned from you in the fire of his brilliance. Each of us shall give birth to a billion stars formed from the mass of our wretched and filthy bodies. Each of us shall be mother and father to a trillion civilizations. Each of us shall know peace, shall know an end to pain, and shall know Atom in his glory. I urge you, my friends -- come, drink with me and pray... Glorious Atom, I give unto you these feeble bones. I present to your will this frail body. I beg of you to use me as your vessel, guide me to your brilliance, divide each particle and give relief to this rotten flesh. Cast the fragile form of this ephemeral body into new life in the forge of your Glow. Atom, come -- bestow your presence on your unworthy servant. We stay true, until the Day of Division -- until the dawn of your return to His humble world.
Sebastian Szymański
SCIENCE!!!
Noooce
No group has made me want to go full genocidal in any video game than the children of atom. 😂 They annoy me so much.
The whole "finding a book to question your faith" thing is juts really bad writing on Bethesda's part. By that logic no young Earth creationist could have their beliefs survive elementary school
