07:27

trying to find my son oh well then you

07:28

want the Sy detective that lives just

07:30

off Main Street I'm going to become the

07:32

jonker welcome to Diamond City the

07:34

largest city in the Commonwealth somehow

07:36

because every Bethesda city has to have

07:37

a theme the theme of this town is

07:39

Bethesda couldn't get the rights to the

07:40

Red Sox likeness consequently any

07:42

mention of them has been sand blasted

07:43

and Fenway has been transformed into a

07:45

generic ballpark despite half the town

07:46

dressing as umpires nobody even knows

07:48

what baseball is except for Mo Cronin

07:50

who thinks it was some kind of blood

07:51

sport that would have actually been fun

07:53

to watch diamond City plays host to

07:54

several important public services such

07:56

as the radio station the robot bar the

07:58

waspy bar the meat bar and the Russian

08:01

bar the Russian bar what is this still

08:03

the [ __ ] land of opportunity what

08:04

does the rest of the world look like

08:05

that people are still immigrating here

08:07

there's also a security department

08:08

trained extensively in deescalation

08:10

they're also not allowed to help with

08:12

missing persons cases by order of the

08:13

mayor because there's been no political

08:15

blowback from this if we want to find

08:17

our son there's only one man we can turn

08:18

to detective Nick Valentine but first we

08:21

need to find him detective Valentine has

08:23

gone missing investigating skinny

08:24

balon's Hideout for a kidnapped girl and

08:26

by investigating I mean just walking

08:27

into a mob bar and asking what crime

08:29

they've committed to free Nick we must

08:31

enter the practical joke that is the

08:32

Boston Metro Transit System we

08:34

infiltrate the crime Vault and by

08:35

infiltrate I mean raid the place like

08:37

Judge Dread thank God these people

08:38

self-identify as Mobsters or else these

08:40

kind of turn off the body cameras shoot

08:42

first ask questions and never use of

08:43

force might be considered excessive we

08:44

didn't even know for sure if Nick is

08:46

here let alone that he's in trouble for

08:47

all we know his secretary was just

08:48

trying to get rid of us because he was

08:49

hung over in the back luckily for us and

08:51

our criminal liability Nick is not only

08:53

here not only falsely imprisoned but

08:55

also ready to unleash some righteous

08:56

Justice on these Sinners except of

08:58

course for the one person actually

08:59

responsible skinny Malone damn it Nikki

09:01

you come into my house you kill all my

09:02

guys and cost me my girl yeah but I was

09:05

stuck in your basement so that's all

09:06

justifiable homicide oh well that's all

09:08

right then back at Nick's office in

09:09

Diamond City we're immediately hired as

09:11

a detective due to our excessive use of

09:13

force as well as run through our case

09:14

with Nick he's a prototype synth with

09:16

the memories of a pre-war detective so

09:17

what did this guy look like and what

09:18

racial minority was he a part of uh he

09:20

was white actually white like Hispanic

09:22

what kind of cop did you say you were

09:23

again just answer the question he was

09:25

Caucasian and bald while there's only

09:26

one bald man in the entire game let's go

09:28

rob his house turns out John Harvey

09:30

Kellogg was living in Diamond city with

09:32

a young boy and no one had any questions

09:33

about it after some light breaking and

09:35

entering we find Kellogg's yogurt enema

09:36

chamber what was the chair for did you

09:38

just sit there and stare at the wall hey

09:39

boy can you use the scent to find

09:41

Kellogg no Kellogg not flight log dog

09:43

meet leads us to Battle Creek sanitarium

09:45

where Kellogg leads us through a series

09:47

of audio lectures on Eugenics well if it

09:49

isn't the most resilient man in

09:53

the people of taxachusetts do not be

09:56

alarmed we were the protagonists of the

09:58

previous game where really cool we swear

10:00

suddenly I'm regretting not taking dance

10:01

up on his offer back in Diamond City we

10:03

returned to Nick's office to discuss

10:05

what to do now that we've killed our

10:06

most promising lead you didn't happen to

10:08

grab any part of his brain while you

10:09

were there did you uh well luckily for

10:11

you I know someone who can help us

10:12

welcome to Good Neighbor the theme of

10:14

this town is [ __ ] crime it's just

10:16

crime but just like The Vibes besides

10:19

the mayor stabbing a guy in broad

10:20

daylight this neighborhood is more polic

10:22

than the whitest gated community in

10:23

South Africa within this crime slum

10:25

exists the memory Den a high-tech

10:26

laboratory where people can relive their

10:28

cherished memories of picking through

10:29

the rubble of the Commonwealth that I

10:31

guess their back hurts less or something

10:33

using the suicide pods from Fallout 3

10:34

we're able to Flatline ourselves so we

10:36

can communicate with Kellog in the

10:37

afterlife you're about to take a trip

10:39

through the human brain welcome to

10:41

Kellogg's frosted brain flakes using

10:43

Nick as a host we journey through

10:44

whatever was left of Kellogg's cherished

10:46

childhood memories after we sent a nuke

10:47

on an Express trip through his skull

10:49

that's when we learned that Kellogg had

10:50

a rough childhood yeah no [ __ ] I didn't

10:53

think anyone who kidnapped babies for a

10:54

living would be well adjusted we learned

10:57

that between murders Kell was living in

10:58

Diamond City with young Sheldon at the

11:00

institute's request to bait us into

11:01

killing him we also learned that the

11:03

Institute has a [ __ ] teleporter well

11:05

now that you've seen Cal had kind of a

11:06

rough childhood don't you feel bad about

11:08

killing him not even slightly but he was

11:09

a person if anything I feel a little

11:11

better actually what I kind of want to

11:12

kill someone else now uh you should get

11:13

out of here head south you might just

11:15

find what you're looking for there

11:17

welcome to the glowing sea during the

11:18

Great War Massachusetts became so

11:20

radiated that the map itself developed a

11:22

tumor and now we need to braid this

11:23

shattered landscape in search of a nerd

11:25

named Virgil luckily for us Bas Staters

11:26

aren't affected by any kind of winter

11:28

even nuclear winter it's not that cold

11:30

guys if anything it's weirdly warm this

11:32

is still probably healthier than

11:33

swimming in the Charles deep in this

11:34

radioactive Wasteland there are many

11:36

hidden secrets to discover including the

11:37

rarest thing in a Bethesda game a

11:39

settlement where nobody needs anything

11:41

the children of Adam send us to speak

11:42

with a former Institute scientist named

11:43

Virgil who has been transformed into a

11:45

Super Mutant through what I can only

11:46

assume was a [ __ ] hilarious lab

11:48

accident you want to get into the

11:50

Institute you'll need at least an SAT

11:51

score of 2100 a GPA of 3.98 and an essay

11:55

about how you overcame adversity what

11:56

kind of adversity you could kill a

11:58

Terminator if we want to get into the

11:59

Institute we'll need to Pat out our

12:01

extracurriculars by ripping a chip out

12:02

of the head of a corser an Institute

12:04

Blade Runner what are you doing here I'm

12:06

about to take a trip through the human

12:07

brain we now have the chip but if we

12:09

want to make it inside the Institute

12:11

we'll have to decode it welcome to Old

12:12

North Church home of the railroad

12:14

because why have your secret

12:15

headquarters be in any building when you

12:16

can have it in a Historic Landmark with

12:18

a giant red line leading right to your

12:19

front door the railroad is a

12:21

post-apocalyptic civil rights

12:22

organization except unlike the Followers

12:24

of the Apocalypse who wanted to help

12:25

everyone in the postnuclear Wasteland

12:27

the railroad Fields a small army

12:28

dedicated liberating synth from their

12:30

media labor it's like if Amnesty

12:31

International fielded a division of Navy

12:33

SEALs but only used them to steal

12:35

people's roombas we seek to free the

12:36

synth from their bondage because no one

12:38

else will it's literally the apocalypse

12:40

outside most people spend their days

12:41

fighting off zombies and Orcs I'm not

12:43

surprised they're not stepping up for

12:44

synth Liberation how did you get inside

12:46

our base you even knew our secret

12:48

password you guys know there's a [ __ ]

12:49

line all over the city that leads right

12:51

here right also what secret password

12:53

it's just your name what was password

12:55

too hard to remember the railroad frees

12:56

since from The Institute wipes their

12:58

memories and ships them out of state

12:59

which is like lobotomizing an injured

13:01

dolphin and releasing it on a nuclear

13:02

testing site but considering how

13:03

familiar they are with the inside of

13:05

synth's heads they're the only ones who

13:06

can retrieve the teleporter Telemetry

13:08

from the corser ship thanks for the data

13:09

wait before you leave do you want to

13:11

join the railroad absolutely not

13:13

fantastic let's go to your first

13:14

assignment now that I'm forced to

13:15

continue the railroad quest line against

13:17

my will we must help Deacon infiltrate

13:18

the local Dunkin Donuts to retrieve a

13:20

gun that doesn't look completely [ __ ]

13:22

ridiculous Beneath The Donut Shop is an

13:24

old railroad base that was raided by The

13:25

Institute but now their base is more

13:27

secure because they have a password

13:28

speaking speaking of raiding people's

13:30

underground bunkers it's time to serve

13:31

the Institute an UNO reverse card hey

13:33

sturis sorry to take you away from all

13:35

your important work but I need you to

13:36

13:42

that stur just knows how to build a

13:44

molecules [ __ ] ouch welcome to to The

13:59

Institute where they spend their time 3D

14:00

printing an endless stream of hos in an

14:02

attempt to create the next generation of

14:04

vtuber they've turned their back on

14:05

humanity and the people living out in

14:07

the Wasteland are little more than

14:08

barbarians to them very similar to The

14:09

Enclave in Fallout 3 but unlike The

14:11

Enclave their plane isn't the shallow

14:13

machinations of the Captain Planet

14:14

villain in fact their plane is so

14:16

complicated that nobody not the player

14:18

character not the Institute staff not

14:20

even the director seem to know what it

14:21

is but we do find a kid trapped in a

14:23

glass chamber oh [ __ ] is this what dog

14:24

meat was talking about it's me I'm Sean

14:26

14:41

14:47

They a surprise tool that will help us

14:50

work are you having these since do

14:52

mostly meia labor like sweeping the

14:53

floor and fixing some pipes okay and

14:55

what part of that mandate requires them

14:57

to have human emotions and advanced

14:59

physics where we just happen to run into

15:00

the worst obstetrician on the East Coast

15:02

15:04

doctor of minding your own [ __ ]

map hey guys it's me big beak

15:16

entertainment and today we'll be running

15:17

some [ __ ] errands for our son which

15:19

in this case means enforcing the

15:20

Fugitive Slave Act of course we can

15:22

always take a paage straight out of the

15:23

dad's Playbook and go out for a pack of

15:25

smokes and never come back every

15:27

Bethesda game has a point in the main

15:29

story where you just kind of stop giving

15:30

a [ __ ] and start getting sidetracked and

15:31

for me that's right here so this is as

15:33

good a time as any to introduce you to

15:35

the other faction's quest line starting

15:36

with the vegans the railroad continues

15:38

to live up to their name as we get

15:39

railroaded from One mission to the next

15:41

such as fetch quests package delivery

15:43

jobs and running messages oh my god I've

15:45

become a mailman of course if we don't

15:47

want to join the railroad we can always

15:49

sign up with the Brotherhood of Steel

15:50

are you ready to get higher than you've

15:52

ever been in your life Welcome to the

15:53

nightmare blunt rotation that is the

15:55

Fallout 4 Brotherhood of Steel back at

15:57

it again with those child soldiers I see

15:59

the Brotherhood of Steel is a

16:00

militaristic authoritarian medieval

16:02

larper session dedicated to shooting and

16:03

looting pre-war technology on the blimp

16:05

were introduced to Elder Arthur Maxon

16:07

we've met him previously in Fallout 3

16:09

where he was a Child Soldier who got

16:10

benched for accidentally shooting Sarah

16:12

Lions but now that he's finished what he

16:13

started he controls the Brotherhood of

16:15

Steel on the East Coast if the haircut

16:17

and the talk of Exterminating

16:18

Abominations doesn't give it away the

16:19

Brotherhood of Steel has officially

16:20

crossed the Event Horizon of YouTube

16:22

demonetization I guess this is what fox

16:24

made me die for in Fallout 3 it's always

16:26

fun to live long enough to see yourself

16:27

become the villain I've heard good

16:28

things things about you Soldier and I'm

16:30

looking for a special Soldier part monk

16:32

part Hitman part pest control specialist

16:34

go to hell excellent here's your next

16:35

assignment [ __ ] now that the gang's all

16:38

here we get to choose which faction will

16:39

finally Conquer Red Sox Nation will it

16:41

be the racist the racist the racists or

16:44

the progressive racist because I am a

16:46

YouTube shill I let my subscribers

16:47

decide and apparently they want me to

16:49

support Presto gravity's minute because

16:51

my subscribers love to see me suffer but

16:52

the jok's on you I was fully prepared to

16:54

rig the vote to achieve this outcome I'm

16:56

not some fair weather fighter I'm

16:58

Preston strong a soldier I unironically

17:00

love the Minutemen I love these guys I

17:02

love their stupid hats I love the

17:03

overall aesthetic this is how men would

17:05

dress if Society led us me and the boys

17:07

on our way to not pay our taxes Fallout

17:09

4 is many excellent meaningful and

17:10

well-regarded faction quest lines but we

17:12

won't be doing any of them thanks to

17:14

some true Patriots instead after getting

17:16

promoted to General faster than jargar

17:18

Banks we sell our souls to the devil in

17:19

exchange for becoming a land developer

17:21

hey guys it's me General big be and

17:23

welcome to the dudes Rock militia in

17:24

order to expand our burgeoning real

17:26

estate portfolio I must now rebuild the

17:28

minimen by becoming a door- to-door

17:29

Hitman luckily for me and my limited

17:31

skill set nobody has a problem with the

17:33

solution more complicated than go to the

17:34

next location and smoke whatever you

17:36

find living there this is the equivalent

17:37

of Joe Biden working as your [ __ ]

17:39

Oran man except your local Oran man has

17:41

more political legitimacy than I do hey

17:43

Preston when are we actually going to

17:44

have elections look the hell is an

17:45

election there must be some mistake I'm

17:46

supposed to be rebuilding America plant

17:48

the [ __ ] corn despite the game

17:49

framing the Minutemen as the second

17:51

American Revolution I seem to have

17:52

somehow built a highly factional

17:54

military dictatorship held together

17:55

exclusively by myself whoops I've

17:57

accidentally invented Yugoslavia it's

17:59

all the violence of the American

18:00

Revolution with none of the idealism

18:02

that being said you can't trust these

18:03

people with self-rule when you can't

18:04

even trust them with the most basic

18:05

construction project damn [ __ ] you live

18:07

like this now that we have five Farmers

18:09

on our side we need an ancient decrepit

18:11

flooded crab infested pit with a bunch

18:12

of holes in the wall that [ __ ] hole is

18:14

the castle a fort that's so outdated the

18:15

Chinese didn't even bother nuking it

18:17

it's so outdated it was conquered by

18:18

[ __ ] crabs but using several farmers

18:20

and several more nuclear weapons we're

18:22

finally able to liberate the Crusty Crab

18:24

this also gives us the ability to use

18:25

artillery whose power is matched only by

18:27

its inconvenience I can either throw a

18:29

smoke grenade that drops a bomb after

18:30

like a minute and a half or I can cut

18:31

out the middleman and throw a real

18:33

grenade but there's just something about

18:34

being in the [ __ ] that makes you want to

18:35

call in a danger close artillery strike

18:37

on your own position and die gloriously

18:39

like a hero of the Soviet Union or you

18:41

can return to your war criminal Roots

18:42

the faction quest lines come to aead at

18:44

Bunker Hill The Institute gets where the

18:46

railroad is moving 4 cents from a safe

18:47

house here is for a lot no the railroad

18:49

then tasks their entire Elite Infantry

18:51

Division to protect the sense and the

18:53

Brotherhood shows up to [ __ ] [ __ ] up so

18:55

that was an absolute disaster yeah I've

18:56

gotten some pretty concerning reports

18:58

that you let the since go you want to

18:59

explain that one to me dad why did you

19:01

program them to feel fear I've been

19:02

asking that for a while and the fact

19:04

that no one has answered me is pretty

19:05

[ __ ] concerning I thought we could be

19:06

a normal family I thought I could

19:08

unfreeze you and if you survived you

19:09

could kill my enemies and reap of my

19:11

stuff but you have to go around asking

19:12

why roombas feel fear you're still not

19:13

answering the question you're in deep

19:15

[ __ ] Junior I'm 60 years old well I'm

19:17

200 years old then we appear to be at an

19:19

impass [ __ ] you and the teleporter you

19:21

rode in on I still love you son see you

19:22

Christmas hey guys big beak

19:23

entertainment here and welcome to

19:24

balloon's Tower Defense 4 for no

19:26

narrative reason I can discern except to

19:28

be a DI Sean has ordered the Institute

19:30

to wipe out the menen but despite having

19:31

a [ __ ] teleporter they still don't

19:33

have the element of surprise and I can

19:34

set up as many turrets as I want to

19:36

repel them we found a way into the

19:37

Institute through an old pipe a pipe

19:39

that doesn't sound very secure how did

19:40

they miss that one well to get to it you

19:42

have to swim in the Charles now that we

19:44

have for some reason come into conflict

19:46

with the Institute we must Infiltrate

19:47

The Gamer basement and unplug the

19:49

console once and for all we break into

19:50

the bioscience lab and become combatants

19:52

in the gay chimpanzee War given how

19:54

eager these Apes were to rip me limb

19:55

from limb I can only conclude primate

19:57

Warfare as evolving too rapid this isn't

19:59

animal cruelty this is a preemptive

20:01

strike it's over Sean I killed your

20:02

gorillas the monkey business is over

20:04

gorillas are Apes you [ __ ] idiot I'm

20:06

sorry it's come to this hi sorry it's

20:08

come to this I'm

20:13

dad because completing the minent quest

20:15

requires soft locking the other faction

20:17

quest lines the Brotherhood of Steel has

20:18

been placed in a state of Lun narrative

20:20

limbo wherein their Airship is just

20:21

hanging out over Logan airport for

20:23

basically no reason we should nuke him

20:25

Preston we can't just keep nuking

20:26

everyone we don't like isn't that the

20:27

whole point of the Fallout series if War

20:29

doesn't change men must change and all

20:30

that [ __ ] I think we should limit

20:31

ourselves to one nuclear first drag per

20:33

day pal this game is missing a fourth

20:34

act the Fallout act this would have been

20:36

a fantastic opportunity to create a

20:38

fourth act with DLC like they did for

20:39

Fallout 3 Fallout 4 actually has the

20:41

most DLC of any Fallout game with seven

20:43

four that matter and two that anyone

20:44

actually care about but let's start with

20:46

automatron in automatron we must join

20:48

forces with a killer robot to kill a

20:49

killer robot army while creating our own

20:51

killer robot army also I gave cogsworth

20:53

legs the mechanist is releasing robots

20:55

all over the Commonwealth and we need to

20:56

stop them so we do that infiltrate in

20:58

the mechanist admittedly baller layer we

21:00

discover the mechanist is actually a

21:02

girl oh well that's all right then

21:03

despite the mechanist being a

21:04

fundamentally good person she is

21:06

accidentally created an army of robots

21:08

hellbent on violence and destruction

21:09

just like Taylor Swift then the final

21:11

terminal doesn't work so I can't

21:12

actually finish the main quest they

21:13

placed the terminal high enough to

21:15

activate but too low to walk to I feel

21:16

like the developer is trying to Edge me

21:18

from 2016 I had to go into the console

21:19

and turn on noclip like a dirty criminal

21:22

but the real item in automatron Pros

21:23

column isn't the story it's the ability

21:25

to send an army of Sentry Bots to secure

21:27

the roads by assigning them as provision

21:28

this provides more strategic control

21:30

over the Commonwealth than the entire

21:32

minen quest line but if you thought this

21:33

DLC was good just wait till you see what

21:35

Bethesda is cooking up

21:37

[Music]

21:41

next what the [ __ ] is this piece of [ __ ]

21:44

okay you guys can stop cooking what the

21:47

[ __ ] who the [ __ ] broke into Bethesda

21:48

and made this you guys got no business

21:50

making something this good in Far Harbor

21:52

you must find a missing person because

21:53

apparently that's the only inciting

21:55

incident Bethesda knows how to write but

21:56

if I'm going on a detective Mission with

21:58

my boy Nick all need to dress the part

22:00

Kenji nikano has asked Valentine's

22:02

detective agency to investigate The

22:03

Disappearance of his daughter Kumi she's

22:05

not in there as common law Partners Nick

22:07

and I go on a Couple's Retreat to a

22:09

lovely beded breakfast in coastal Maine

22:11

welcome to far Harbor a town on the ass

22:12

end of nowhere Under Siege by a

22:14

combination of giant salamanders extreme

22:16

humidity and the most corrosive threat

22:17

of all evangelicals Kumi has gone to a

22:20

synth commune at the center of the

22:21

island called aadia run by Nick's

22:23

long-lost brother Dima throughout the

22:24

base game Nick has been struggling with

22:26

who he is without the original Nick

22:27

Valentine's memory memories and it turns

22:29

out he's a [ __ ] for real Deo will say

22:31

the most catty [ __ ] and then just go AB

22:33

but who am I to judge even name dropping

22:34

the railroad buys you no credit with him

22:36

the railroad you mean the guys who scare

22:38

s into wiping their personalities in a

22:40

misguided attempt to keep them safe but

22:42

who am I to judge Kumi is convinced

22:44

she's a synth well we can settle that

22:45

right now ah Bethesda hey do we have a

22:48

synth named kassum Nano nope well the

22:50

railroad probably wouldn't have killed

22:51

and replaced the real Kumi so she must

22:53

not be a synth you're not a synth that's

22:55

the thing I'll never know for sure what

22:57

you you're you're not in the [ __ ]

22:59

records there a [ __ ] paper trail Kumi

23:00

says she's not going home because

23:02

something here is sus the children of

23:04

Adam are renting dea's old apartment and

23:05

he's worried they might find his stash

23:07

of incriminating memories so he assigns

23:08

us to pretend to be one of Adam's

23:09

faithful and infiltrate the church

23:11

welcome to the nucleus also known as the

23:13

most disgusting place I've ever seen

23:14

holy [ __ ] nobody in the Fallout Universe

23:16

showers but these guys extra don't

23:18

shower and instead spend their days

23:19

soaking in radioactive piss water they

23:21

even put it in their light bulbs I can

23:23

[ __ ] smell this place Children of

23:25

atam the time has come to sit here and

23:27

wait for someone else to solve all of

23:28

our problems up to this point the DLC

23:30

has been pretty great but this is still

23:32

Bethesda we're talking about and no

23:33

Bethesda game would be complete with at

23:35

least one [ __ ] Mission so to unlock

23:37

dima's memories we have to play Tower

23:38

Defense by way of Minecraft here we

23:40

learned that dimma killed the original

23:41

leader of far Harbor and replaced her

23:43

with a synth he's just as bad as the

23:44

Institute except this time we can

23:46

actually follow the thread of logic that

23:47

would lead him to do this we can either

23:49

convince him to turn himself in to be

23:50

immediately Courier 6 gr didn't even let

23:52

him get all the way in his knees then

23:54

all the towns folk you've helped over

23:55

the game stick up for you and agree not

23:56

to attack Acadia we could do that or we

23:58

could let it ride dimma pitches another

24:00

murder and replace scheme for the

24:01

children of Adam's leader High Confessor

24:03

tus honestly things between the children

24:05

and the town aren't even that bad if

24:06

Dima turns himself in that's the end of

24:08

the quest line they aren't even really

24:09

after each other all their faction

24:10

quests are completely unrelated but if

24:12

you want to go with dima's plan you can

24:13

either kill tectus or you can tell him

24:15

to get lost and pray to atomy never

24:16

decides to come back and destroy this

24:18

extremely fragile piece fortunately

24:20

1,000 hours of settlement building has

24:21

turned me into a professional Mason atam

24:24

has demanded we make peace with the

24:25

people of far Harbor atam also says that

24:28

back wall in the basement is his

24:29

favorite wall and you should never tear

24:31

it down or change it in any way no

24:33

matter which ending you pick for far

24:34

Harbor you will feel like scum and

24:36

that's great but as long as you don't

24:37

play it like a complete [ __ ] it'll

24:39

still end on the upbeat note that Kumi

24:40

goes back to her parents when the

24:42

Fallout fan base complains that Bethesda

24:44

could never develop a good Fallout game

24:45

this is the game you can slap him in the

24:47

face with it's a shame they didn't

24:48

retain any lessons from it do you guys

24:50

remember how vault tech built vaults to

24:51

run all kinds of crazy unethical

24:53

experiments have you ever wanted to

24:54

build your own well then you should play

24:55

fallout shelter but if you wanted to do

24:57

it in Minecraft I've got the $5 Fallout

24:59

for DLC for you in the vault tech

25:01

Workshop we can once again participate

25:03

in a vault experiment except this time

25:05

we get to be the perpetrator this one is

25:07

bad the experiments aren't even good or

25:08

funny also every time you place

25:10

something in the vault a little bit of

25:11

the nav mesh gets deleted so NPCs won't

25:13

walk on it but because all interior

25:15

cells share the same nav mesh whenever

25:17

you place something in this massive

25:19

interior cell you're slowly breaking

25:20

your game Bethesda was running an

25:22

experiment on us the whole time they

25:24

played us like a damnn fiddle speaking

25:26

of sick twisted experiments it's time to

25:28

talk about n world do you guys remember

25:30

the beginning of the video where I said

25:31

I like Fallout 4 well that included all

25:33

the DLC 2 even the absolutely worthless

25:35

ones even the one that straight up

25:37

breaks your game up to this point n

25:39

world is probably one of the most

25:41

tedious things I've ever had to play I

25:43

Was dreading finishing far Harbor

25:44

because I knew I would have to play this

25:46

next but it's time I need to go to n

25:48

world for some reason because some guy

25:50

we met told us to it doesn't even have

25:51

the thin veneer of looking for a missing

25:53

person he's just like I've been shot get

25:54

on the train When we arrive we find

25:56

ourselves trapped in Joker's Fun House

25:58

this isn't really a problem but at the

25:59

end we have to fight a guy who's

26:00

invented a bumper car Arena that makes

26:02

him immune to nuclear weapons the only

26:04

thing that can defeat him is a squirt

26:05

gun and also nuclear weapons for some

26:07

reason n World operates under the same

26:09

rules as the Santa Claus and killing the

26:11

previous overboss makes us the new

26:12

overboss yeah I can't imagine setting

26:14

that President will cause any problems

26:16

hey guys it's me big beak entertainment

26:17

and welcome to Nuka world now that I'm

26:19

the owner of the world's least dangerous

26:21

amusement part we'll be shaking hands

26:23

with danger as we meet the three carne

26:24

gangs that run the park the pack frat

26:26

Bros dressed like they're at a [ __ ]

26:27

Ed Festival The Operators a normal gang

26:30

that actually wants to make money and

26:32

the disciples the least homicidal

26:34

amusement park employees I feel like I'm

26:36

getting hepatitis just standing here now

26:37

that you're the overboss of this Raider

26:39

Triple Alliance you get to do all their

26:41

work for them if I'm the overboss why

26:42

can't I send literally anyone to do all

26:44

this this is a top down organization you

26:46

got to lead by example boss now you best

26:48

get to work conquering those other Parks

26:51

[ __ ] nuc world has five districts Kitty

26:53

Kingdom the world of refreshment dry

26:55

Rock Gulch Safari Adventure and Galactic

26:57

zone three of these are literally just

26:59

busy work but two are actually kind of

27:00

interesting in Safari Adventure you can

27:02

help Sito a man raised by gorillas

27:04

because for some [ __ ] reason Bethesda

27:06

already had the character model we'll

27:07

also need to contend with Oswald the

27:08

outrageous and his army of ghouls Oswald

27:10

is a children's magician who adapted to

27:12

the apocalypse by gaining actual magic

27:14

powers at first I thought this was just

27:15

for show but he does this [ __ ] when no

27:17

one's looking so he's just [ __ ] magic

27:19

whoever made n world was obviously not

27:21

the same guy who made far Harbor holy

27:22

[ __ ] far Harbor could have been its own

27:24

game nuk World shouldn't have even been

27:26

a side quest chain if far Harbor

27:27

embodied all the best qualities of

27:29

Fallout 4 n World embodies all the worst

27:31

qualities 90% of the quests are tedious

27:33

busy work there's no discernable theme

27:35

or story and besid cedo and Oswald

27:37

there's literally no interesting

27:38

characters in this entire DLC and

27:40

honestly these guys aren't even that

27:41

good none of these Raider characters

27:43

have any Nuance character development or

27:45

even any interesting ideas driving them

27:47

at least Caesar would spend 30 minutes

27:48

talking out of his ass about hegelian

27:50

dialectics it's almost like they made

27:51

this in response to a bunch of [ __ ]

27:53

complaints that you couldn't be fully

27:54

evil in Fallout 4 as if that was the

27:56

[ __ ] problem so they had add this $10

27:58

slice of nothing so these players could

28:00

act out their sadistic fantasies in a

28:01

video game instead of their middle

28:03

school I won't say it's never cathartic

28:04

to be a dick in an environment where

28:06

there's no consequences for it but if

28:07

I'm playing this for the story I at

28:09

least expect some [ __ ] story

28:10

catharsis this DLC is a lot of [ __ ]

28:12

nerve to reach back into the main story

28:14

by [ __ ] with the mineman quest line

28:15

turning your settlements Into Cash like

28:17

[ __ ] JG Wentworth then providing

28:19

absolutely no story around it but if you

28:21

were a loved one has been blue balled by

28:22

n world you do have recourse embrace

28:24

your inner Canadian and Liberate the

28:26

town single-handedly through extreme

28:27

violence and if you really want to have

28:29

a good time hit that quick save button

28:30

turn on God mode grab your Merv launcher

28:32

and make your game look like one of my

28:34

videos can I be real with you guys for a

28:36

second I don't get people that

28:37

passionately hate this game you like

28:39

Fallout 4 you've lost all credibility

28:41

damn you thought I had credibility me

28:44

the funny twocan man whose most

28:45

celebrated video is me bitching about

28:46

Charlie [ __ ] Brown is the writing

28:48

simplistic yes is any criticism You Can

28:50

level against this game valid yes are

28:52

the synthetic gorillas the stupidest

28:54

thing I've ever seen yes but do I give a

28:57

[ __ ] of course not because you can open

28:59

the door and watch them literally go

29:00

gorilla [ __ ] but why is Fallout 4 my

29:02

favorite Fallout game I don't fully know

29:04

there's something ineffable about

29:06

Fallout 4 for me and if I ever

29:07

unironically use the phrase Bethesda

29:09

magic I want you to shoot me in the face

29:11

with a gun but there's something about

29:12

this game I can't put my finger on maybe

29:14

it's the characters maybe it's the

29:15

setting maybe I just like the New

29:17

England Vibes I fully recognize the

29:19

game's flaws the weak villain for one

29:21

but also Fallout 4 really needed a

29:22

fourth act I just excavated a new

29:24

radioactive crater in the middle of the

29:26

city and Scattered hundreds of mad sign

29:28

scientist around the Commonwealth this

29:29

decision should have some blowback some

29:31

response some fallout Fallout 4 is a

29:33

collection of great ideas that don't

29:35

interact with each other in a meaningful

29:36

way it's disjointed and lends the game

29:38

in almost improvisational quality it

29:40

doesn't Elevate itself above its tropes

29:41

and results in a product that isn't

29:43

greater than the sum of its parts in

29:44

Fallout 3 you could blow through the

29:46

main story without even really absorbing

29:47

it New Vegas used factional conflict to

29:49

create branching outcomes that players

29:50

had to actively choose by prioritizing

29:52

quest lines of whatever faction they

29:54

were supporting Fallout 4 has similar

29:55

quests where you have to choose which

29:57

faction you're going to support but the

29:58

entirety of New Vegas every Quest every

30:01

character every interaction was built

30:03

around the main story of conflict

30:04

between the legion and CR and house I

30:07

can't think of a quest that doesn't

30:08

somehow inform the players's view of

30:10

that conflict and those factions in

30:11

Fallout 4 I'm not sure I could even tell

30:13

you what most of these factions actually

30:15

do here I can guess what they're about

30:16

but it's rare to see the literal impact

30:18

they have on the world I guess there's

30:19

something to be said for subtlety as

30:21

good as the story of New Vegas is it's

30:22

about as subtle as a brick through a

30:23

window characters will just tell you

30:25

their life story and moral philosophy on

30:27

man like they're queuing up for [ __ ]

30:28

Ted Talk Fallout 4 makes you work a

30:29

little bit harder for it but when you do

30:31

start putting in the effort and learning

30:32

about how characters are connected in

30:34

the lore you'll go oh wouldn't it be

30:36

cool if and you'll start seeing all the

30:38

missed opportunities Fallout 4 really is

30:39

a game of missed opportunities like

30:41

going to the Institute and learning that

30:42

Mayor McCheese actually is a synth

30:44

wouldn't it be cool to tell Piper and

30:45

see her reaction yeah it would have

30:47

overall Fallout 4 isn't a bad game or

30:49

even a bad Fallout game all of the

30:51

pieces for a really great and poignant

30:53

gamer here they just didn't [ __ ]

30:55

finish it I will also say that playing

30:56

without mods again feels like drag

30:58

racing on a [ __ ] penny farthing

30:59

bicycle that's why when Fanboys say

31:01

modders will fix Starfield with a

31:02

straight face I [ __ ] believe them I

31:04

can't think of another business that's

31:06

benefited as much from Free Labor as

31:07

since the [ __ ] plantation economy I

31:09

guess it's nice that the modders like

31:10

doing it but when I pay $60 for a video

31:13

game I don't like it to be with the

31:14

understanding that I'll have to download

31:15

20 nudity mods later because Jimmy the

31:17

Pervert is patching in the rest of the

31:18

story but maybe I'm giving Bethesda too

31:20

much credit after all it would be

31:21

disingenuous to suggest this isn't the

31:23

game they wanted to make and it's unfair

31:24

of me to pretend Fallout 4 is the game I

31:26

imagine it to be I just just wish they

31:28

would take that last step of curiosity

31:30

to ask why the [ __ ] any of these people

31:32

are

31:33

[Music]

31:37

here oh God please like And subscribe

31:40

please I want that [ __ ] plaque so

31:42

much here's the deal if half the people

31:43

who make it to the end of this thing

31:45

subscribe I can get it I can only put

31:46

something out once every 3 months anyway

31:48

so it's not like I'm going to spam your

31:49

subscription feed but anyway that's a

31:51

wrap on the Fallout Trilogy kind of

31:52

weird that it started with three and

31:53

ended with four but I guess Bethesda

31:55

just numbers these things however the

31:56

[ __ ] they feel like I thought about

31:58

making a video on Fallout 76 but I'm

31:59

worried that I wouldn't understand it if

32:01

I didn't play fallouts 5 through 75

32:03

first and since it looks like we're not

32:04

going to get Fallout 5 before the

32:06

[ __ ] heat death of the Universe I

32:07

originally wanted my next video to be on

32:09

Starfield but as a favor to Bethesda I

32:11

wanted them to get at least some DLC out

32:13

before I take a sledgehammer to it but

32:14

it turns out obsidian already made

32:15

Starfield except they called it the

32:17

outer worlds so the next video is going

32:19

to be on that but first a very special

32:21

surprise for a very special cohort of my

32:23

subscribers speaking of very special

32:25

subscribers I now have a patreon where
