    This video really glosses over the Master's death. After explaining to him that the supermutants are sterile, he realizes his life's work was for nothing and that he's a fool. He then gets super depressed over all the people he's killed, realizes that he's been the villain all along, and tells the player character to leave while they still can.
    He blows his base up as a form of suicide, and to make sure no one else can find the FEV and make the same mistakes he has. One of his last words is "I cannot go on continuing to have done the things I've done."

      that is told in FO 2 when you get Marcus as a sidekick and let him meet up with a Hooker resulting in him getting worried if he made her pregnant

    Clarification on the BOS; they were originally a group of soldiers pre-war who revolted against the government when they realized that the scientists on the base they were staffing were running FEV experiments on human captives. While 76 made some uh... creative interpretations of their lore that muddle research into them, generally speaking the basic idea was that they believed that advanced technology was too dangerous for common use, that their role was to confiscate it and keep it for when humanity was ready to use it again.
    The BOS had varying opinions on how they should deal with outsiders, however FO3 was the first time when they were totally helpful. The main FO3 chapter basically decided that it was okay to let wastelanders have technology, but other chapters ranged from "We'll trade with you but only basic stuff and we'll also help with raiders especially if they have advanced tech" at the best to isolationist groups ambushing caravans on the road and demanding the turn over of any prohibited technology or they'd open fire at the worst. The FO3 outcasts were of the later type.
    Generally speaking the BOS as a whole took the view that humanity was clearly surviving and so it was more important to track down surviving nuclear weapons and rifles that would literally melt people into a pile of goop and important research that would be important in the future than it was to make sure that every single farm settlement was actively defended at all times. This was less the case in 1 and 2 since, while they were clearly dismissive of outsiders, humanity was still in a precarious spot and active intervention was necessary, but by the time of 3 the security of humanity combined with the general stagnation and isolationism of the BOS to make them largely unwilling to interfere with outsiders.
    In Texas and the capital wasteland (later boston) they took a very direct role, essentially establishing themselves as the local rulers but largely permitting locals to self govern. Interestingly, despite these chapters being in a minority in terms of number of chapters, their willingness to take in outsiders meant that they and their viewpoints almost certainly represented a majority of BOS members.

    2:52 they didn’t figure out crystal conductors and stuck at vacuum tubes, that’s why most of the technology despite running on freaking nuclear power, still have functionality of 1980-90. There is also a theory that they actually managed to figure out crystal conductors few years before the war, and it could’ve stopped it because of how much less resources it eats, but China literally run out of fuel, and lost on Alyaska, so they decided to nuke

    Funny thing about Nuclear power is that it's closer to a gigantic steam engine; just with dangerous waste as a byproduct of depleting the radioactive elements. The only thing it releases to the atmosphere is steam as long as you follow instructions. It's ironically mire environmentally friendly and sustainable than solar panels and wind turbines.
    Also, about the Soviet Union: it was being taken by Maoist China because of the Kamchatka peninsula, which would lead to Anchorage, Alaska because it made invading annexed Canada way easier and more discrete. And when China lost Anchorage in 2077, they unleashed the Nukes on America, setting off a chain reaction all across the states. Some were hit harder like the East Coast - DC becoming a radioactive DMZ, and a good chunk of the West. But most of the West was protected by Mr House's defense system (which is still canon in the show, Thank God.) The USSR and America's intense rivalry died down enough to forge a fairly strong political alliance against China.
    And the Vaults? Funded by the no-longer shadow government called the Enclave to study human psychology to better colonize the moon. NOT because Vault-Tec wanted to conquer the world in some dumb "Capitalism Bad" message by a fan theory that Todd and Emil canonized to not piss off the CCP.

    What’s interesting about the Enclave that isn’t explained in this video is that their plan changed massively in the years of isolation. Their original intentions were to help rebuild America through the assistance of Wastelanders and then come out of the Shadows to reveal themselves to have been the very people that helped them do so. You can see this in Fallout 76 with the earliest iteration of the Enclave lorewise. MODUS their leader just wants to help rebuild for the most part, atleast currently, and even let’s the Wasteland version of the Red Cross live above his base of operations by telling security above not to harm them but not to let them bellow into the bunkers. Colonel Autumn is another case of this he actually didn’t know about Eden’s plan to kill the Wastelanders and you can convince him that the plan is real and he will leave peacefully with his loyalists. His plan was to rebuild America with the help of the Wastelanders and thus to hear Eden planned to kill them all wasn’t something he could support. He wanted the Water Purifier so he could rebuild America in the Enclaves vision with the aid of Wastelanders, as it was suspected your dad was an Ex Enclave Scientist thus it was the Enclaves plan all along.

    Yo Nux, going to Lore dump a bit:
    In fallout the Micro transistor was invented but never replaced the vacuum tube system, which is why electronics all look so bulky.
    A vacuum tube is a device that controls electric current flow in a high vacuum between electrodes. First invented in 1904, the vacuum tubes formed the base of electronics through the first half of the 20th century, before being replaced by transistor-based solid state electronics.
    So with transistors and later microtransistors we made more powerful machines by making the parts smaller (PC used to be the size of a house and would be worse than your modern calculator)
    Now we got by the standards of then Super computers in our pockets and fridges.
    Fallout lore is awesome.

    A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electrical signals and power. The transistor is one of the basic building blocks of modern electronics, as the foundation of integrated circuits and then chipsets.
    In the Fallout series, one of the aspects of the divergence is the fact that transistors did not became as popular, with vacuum tubes continuing to be the dominant building block of electronics into the 21st century, and the term "chip" typically (but not always) refers to processing units using vacuum tubes, such as the water chip. The preference for vacuum tubes was a conscious choice made early in Fallout's development. Leonard Boyarsky pitched the idea to Tim Cain during the development, proposing that in the universe of Fallout, humans never went beyond transistors (i.e. the transistor was invented, but microelectronics did not catch on) and stayed with vacuum tubes. The idea originated in a proposal to feature a lot of vacuum tubes, since "everything would look cooler if it had vacuum tubes". Cain agreed, adding that vacuum tube electronics would be less susceptible to electromagnetic damage. Leonard Boyarsky recounted the story in 2018, in an interview on Matt Chat.
    This was not consistently implemented, as noted in June 2003 by Joshua Sawyer during an exchange on No Mutants Allowed: When a user stated that Fallout is set in a future where the transistor was never invented, he pointed out the fact that EMP grenades in Fallout and Fallout 2 are incredibly powerful against robots, which would not be the case if they were based on vacuum tubes.
    During the development of Fallout 3 (2008), and later Fallout 4 (2015), Joel Burgess argued with the team numerous times over the effects the absence of transistors would have not just on the basic mechanics, but also on the culture of the world. In his own words, the butterfly effect change of not inventing a transistor, "[w]hat does that say about the cultural priorities of the people who live in that world?" Burgess recounted this in 2016, in a Ubisoft livestream's closing Q&A.
    In Fallout: New Vegas (2011), developed under the leadership of Joshua Sawyer, the platinum chip is an incredibly capacious electronic device and key, printed in Sunnyvale, and an example of integrated circuit technology. Robert House's life extension chamber also include a brain-machine interface, which was described in concept art as mounted on the top of House's head, featuring transistors and vacuum tubes wired directly into the brain after the skull was removed. Integrated circuits and printed circuit boards are also referred to occasionally in the game and its downloadable content.
    In a Tumblr question in March 2019, Sawyer maintained his position on transistors in Fallout, reiterating how robots in the series are affected by EMP blasts and pointed out that "the state of technology isn’t represented consistently", in his Fallout: New Vegas included. He also noted that he believed the whole idea was secondary to the setting in his opinion, though it did push interesting ideas (citing the fact that the Soviet MiG-25 used vacuum tube electronics that would theoretically make it less vulnerable to EMPs).

    The biggest thing that impacted the technology of the Fallout universe was that they did not develop the transistor, at least until much much later (they started appearing later in their version of the 21st century) which left computer technology still dependent on vacuum tubes and didn't get the miniaturization that we experienced. Transistors were starting to be put into use in some tech in the years before the war but they hadn't replaced vacuum tubes universally yet.
