Since I'm old enough to remember the old cold war days, I'll point out that back in the day USSR and Russia were used pretty much interchangeably to describe the same state. So someone calling it Russia doesn't really suggest much.
Yeah, whenever red gets old it takes a bright pink-ish shade after a few years, since canadian royal forces wear bright red, theylit uniforms probably turn pink after a while
I like to imagine Australia is basically just mad max (honestly i would love to see a fallout game set in Australia purely to see the mutated versions of our animals) also like to imagine Russia in fallout is also just metro cause metro is also great and already is damn similar
Yea I kinda feel like us Aussies got shafted in terms of fallout references. Like I’d honestly settle for a shitty Australia accent quoting “Chuck a shrimp on the barbie!” Even though it’s a fuckin prawn. Also who fuckin bbq’s a prawn?
@Do0m3rdude1995 wow as a fan of both metro and fallout i didnt know this, great fact. Tho i don't notice that many similarities both in terms of lore and gameplay. Yeah they both have nuclear war and mutants but thats about it
Metro feels the most like USSR in the Fallout universe, though with contemporary tech instead of retro-futuristic. If only video games could do crossovers... Though the age of crossovers in general is very much over.
The fact that fallout 4, fallout 3, and new Vegas all take place within the same few years in the lore is crazy to me because there's a very good chance the Courier, Lone Wanderer and Sole Survivor have met at some point, or at least heard of one another
My biggest takeaway was: I’m surprised how possibly common trans-oceanic travel is after the Great War. I’d thought the oceans and seas would be completely empty and impossible to cross. But apparently not, it probably looks similar to the age of sail out their, with rusted metal ship hulls out fitted with large makeshift masts. Engine power ships probably being very rare.
Engine powered ships did not exist when the Norwegians visited and established settlements in North America nearly 1000 years before Columbus, didn't stop the Spanish from exploring the Americas or Immigrants from various countries using sail ships, and do not forget the Polynesians were a seafaring people that navigated their way to Hawaii 1500 years ago.
i mean a power armor suit could last so long with a fusion cell alone probably just ships or boats that can run well wth such energy or just probably the good ole rowing or sailing like people did before technology was so advanced
@@ZathrasParadox Polynesians even settled Madagascar out of Borneo, crossing the Indian Ocean en masse around the beginning of the common era, and did it in record time using their superior knowledge of seasonal winds and currents. Kinda unrelated, I just think they are one of the more badass peoples in history.
The Philippines is mentioned by the newscaster on the Sole Survivor's TV during the Fallout 4 intro sequence, specifically the small island municipality of Mambajao. They mention how a US infantry regiment is deployed there and alludes to the Philippines being invaded at some point by Chinese forces, but being met with strong resistance by the Americans. It's easy to miss since they don't mention the country by name, but I was really pleasantly surprised to hear my country being referenced when I first played the game all those years ago.
historically me mga US bases sa Pilipinas, maaari sa mundo ng Fallout hindi na terminate yun US Military Bases Agreement kaya possible me US forces dito ng lumusob yun China
Another reference to Canada is in the stock of the Survivalist's Rifle - there are carvings saying "STOP!" and "ARRET!" (which is Stop in French), indicating that US troops were also deployed to Quebec.
Canada was completely annexed by the US and occupied by the US military. You can see US soldiers in power armor executing Canadian POW's in Fallout 1's intro.
The city called "Helvetia" was populated by German and Swiss immigrants which means that Switzerland is also a part of the Fallout universe. There are also other mentions like the P220 Sig Sauer (Swiss designed pistol), the Slalom Chalet simulation which was set in the Swiss Alps, a dude claiming that he has a Swiss watch, mentions of Swiss cheese and some others.
The whole world was destroyed. All the countries that exist in the real world exist in fallout universe. Out universes diverged at some point. So, in the game, you would have family members in this alternate reality that were nuked.
@@isthattrue1083yea I’m not really sure why people are surprised certain countries exist. It takes place on planet earth. Obviously it’s alternate history (advancements in nuclear power but no transistors in chips so electronics are all still basic) but everything else is pretty much the same.
Okay I'm gonna be honest, as a Danish person i didn't really expect for this new fallout TH-camr i just found to not only say he was sad to not se Denmark on the list, but also hit me with a "jeg er meget ked af det". That shocked the hell outta me.
@@Fiemus9 i actually knew what denmark was when i was in elementary school because i did an assignment on my ancestry and since my last name was rasmussen it was danish so i did my assignment on denmark.. it was back in new york city great times
@@ScaryFootwhen i was in california i had a really hard time getting people to understand what we meant about Denmark. (Excluding one guy whose danish great-grandfather came to America on a boat and someone who'd studied here) We talked to a couple, and just after we'd told the lady we were from Denmark she turned to her husband and said "Oh bob (yes he was named Bob) these guys are from England" LITERALLY THERES AN ENTIRE SEA BETWEEN US, WE DONT EVEN REMOTELY SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE 😅
The terms "Soviet" and "Russian" were commonly, if erroneously, used interchangeably by Americans during the Cold War, so it's not really weird that people in the Fallout universe still did if the USSR didn't collapse.
@@BBaetz_ In the speech Hermos is referencing "Ashur proclaims that the Pitt, with its industry, security, and strength, is the envy of the Commonwealth, the Capital Wasteland, and Ronto, respectively." -Per the wiki. And if you look at the locations of those cities on a map (Pittsburgh, D.C., Boston) it becomes incredibly obvious that the 4th city; Ronto, refers to Toronto, Ontario given that he's referencing major population centers. While you could be correct, I doubt it since the other cities are equally distant if not more so and Toronto, Ohio only has a population of around 5k people. What I find interesting though is the lack of any post-war mention of Cleveland, Columbus, Baltimore, Philadelphia or New York City.
@@shainmikulik2567 I don't know about the rest of those cities but I believe New York in particular was reduced to complete rubble. Uninhabitable even by wasteland standards. I don't know where I heard that though, might be nothing.
@@SunnyBlam I thought it was a Chernobyl like situation where a nuclear reactor went off, because elder Maxon or a holotape mentions flying over massive skyscrapers and I think he’s talking about NYC.
*_The Philippines has been mentioned at the start of the game if you listen closely to the television, you will hear the newscaster talking about the island of mambajao which is part of the bohol sea and it is located in the Philippines._* Newscaster: "It would also appear our troops stationed overseas are experiencing some unusual weather, as well. On the Island of Mambajao the nights are cold. Unseasonably so for Southeast Asia. But for the 5th Infantry, that's as comfortable as an Autumn jamboree. All the easier for our mechanized hellcats to drive any screaming Commie meamies right into the Bohol Sea."
Worth noting that with all the divergence, the Philippines aren't necessarily a country in Fallout. They could still be a US territory in that world. In-fact, this would actually explain why it was invaded in the first place.
ahhh, the same line from the merchant in RE4. makes sense why there are quantums on the counter beside Takahashi to represent the merchant's blue torches.
Yeah, what a family. She and her husband both got a nobel prize, then after his death she got a second nobel prize, and her daughter Irene won alongside her husband another nobel prize.
@@MN-vz8qm her other son-in law (younger daughter's husband) also won a nobel prize. The younger daughter apparently noted that she was the only person in the family to not win a nobel prize XD
One thing you missed about England was that there were still trade relationships between UK and USA as there is one holetape in Fallout 76 about UK salesman being in sales trip to US also he flew there which shows that there was still functional air trafic between the countries . Because of this we can conclude that either UK was not affected by the conflict in middle east or the European commonwealth was recovering from it before the great war
@Caleb OKAY Well unfortunately your opinion doesnt matter in the bigger picture as long as the devs themselves consider it to be canon it will Also there arent any major retcons in the game contrary to what some people say. Like for example brotherhood being there. It simply isnt true because there is firm lore explaing why they are there. If you dont like writing it is your problem but dont call it retcon
Personally I don't like the ideea of casual trade between the US and the rest of the world, it kinda breaks the feeling of isolation the games had, being stuck on a giant iradiated rock, not knowing if the rest of the world also suffered the same fate
@@MrNoot39449 What I meant was that there was trade between USA and UK PRE WAR we do not know if there is still trade between the countries after the great war
@@aleksihonkanen2629 Ah, I see, I was moreso thinking about the Ireland and Italy trade routes I saw in the video, I misunderstood your comment and thought the UK was also part of it
Some things you forgot, Glock is a real world company that exists in game, they make the Plasma Defender. Also the FN FAL makes an appearance in Fallout which is also Belgium
Fallout and Fallout 2 item description: "Glock 86 Plasma Pistol. Designed by the Gaston Glock AI. Shoots a small bolt of superheated plasma. Powered by a small energy cell. Min ST: 4." so extra lore glock's founder was made into an ai which probably lives in Austria given that Glocks headquarters is there
Not related to Fallout but my shooting coach in college was a Champion target shooter, a ghost writer for Eugene Stoner, and Gaston Glock sent him a prototype way back in the day. He thought it was garbage and used it as a paperweight in his office. He never really warmed up to his designs. Always preferred stopping power over capacity/weight since he was a great shot an instructor.
@@axelarroyo3286 well idk all that much about guns, but I guess the glock being a very common line of guns might have to do with it being easier for and more accessible to "new people"
@@axelarroyo3286 “Stopping power” or “knockdown power” is a complete myth and a 9mm Glock is objectively superior to a .45 ACP 1911 in every way except its reduced utility as a club due to weighing less. It’s too bad your coach was so recalcitrant; Glocks are also fantastic competition pistols.
Operation Trinitite is a reference to the first nuclear bomb test, at Trinity in the Los Alamos test range. The name "Trinitite" comes from the odd material that was created by the blast. Bits of the metal tower that held the bomb fused with sand and copper wiring to create trinitite. It was actually sold in pieces of jewelry for a while until its negative health effects became more understood.
@@mymyrrah That's what capitalism(in fiction) is. Another noteworthy example of it is the Mystery Flesh Pit, where corporations use an eldritch abomination pit full of flesh as an amusement park without significant research. Have another one. The plot of Jurassic World is just a super mutated dinosaur that ran rampage. Why was it mutated/created? Tourist attraction. What does it says? A lot about capitalsim.
Buddy, the modified protectron found in Shamrock Taphouse, makes a joke about Russia in one of his lines. Something along the lines of "What did the Russians use to light their houses with before the war?" With the punchline being "Electricity"
@@m1a1abramstank49 Electricity in Fallout is primitive. In the 1940s, nuclear fission became the primary means of producing energy, even on the small scale.
@@codyhoward7626 Fusion power *is* electricity. The joke is that Russian society degenerated or destabilized to the point of no longer having it. It's pure, monstrous schadenfreude.
Americans often used the terms "Russian" and "Soviet" interchangeably during the Cold War when talking about the country, so I would not lean on that very heavily as evidence of if/when a collapse of the USSR occurred in any American-based documentation.
In part its because Russia was always there. When the USSR was at the height of its power, so was Russia. It was usually more applicable to reference the USSR in world news settings, but sometimes the topic would be specific to Russia within the USSR. Its not usually incorrect to say Russia instead of USSR, unless you're specifically talking about the collective nation states as a whole.
I mean it's not that much of a problem cause despite the USSR being a "union" it was still pretty much the Russian Empire just communist and with a different name
The whiskey is pronounced "ish-ka ba-ha" and means "water of life" in gaelic. The word "whiskey" actually comes from the anglicized pronunciation of uisce.
Just a note about the mentions of Australia. Australian Shepherds are not actually from Australia at all. The breed originated in Texas from one particular dog breeder and rancher in the 1800s and quickly spread across the rest of the united states because of their popularity as herding dogs, particularly across the western coast and the rockies. Their origin breed isn't from Australia either, but from Spain, as their main genetic contribution is the Basque shepherd. The reason they got the name "Australian" is because they had blue mearle hues similar to imported dog breeds from Australia. This blue hue is also where they get alternative, and much more correct name of Blue Heelers.
Blue heelers, aka Australian Cattle Dogs, and Australian Shepards are two completely different breeds of dogs. Australian heelers are actually from Australia.
Hey, thanks for the shout out! Until the other day, I wasn't aware of the PIAT actually being used in combat, but I found out that not only was it used, it was used in an engagement during Operation Market Garden that saw its user awarded the Victoria Cross. The user also happened to be Jeremy Clarkson's late father-in-law.
Your dedication to pronunciation is seriously admirable. I know it's not perfect, but I think it's really neat when people try to get pronunciation right.
An important thing to note about the USSR is that it was a federal union composed of multiple nations with Russia being one of them, in other words Rusia was part of the USSR not a replacement of it.
That's his whole point... One map says Russia but many others (of a larger scale) show other parts of the USSR also being distinct, hence it's broken up/doesn't exist..
Perhaps it became the Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics, which was an actual proposal for a new structure of the crumbling SU by Gorbachev. In Fallout, there probably wasn't a GKChP coup, and some sort of compromise between the republics was actually achieved. This would also mean that the history of Fallout SU is probably pretty close to the real life one, with the exception of, y'know, total collapse. All just assumptions tho.
@@TechnoFall42 My assumption is that the USSR was still a thing but the different republics were more independent, akin to a confederation they might have actually been a confederation at that point but it probably started the same as IRL.
Russia technically is the successor state of the USSR tho so your technically not quite right. They inherited the seat of the USSR on the U.N security council and most Soviet treaties and such were honored and held by the Russian government in the immediate aftermath.
Also there's another reference to Romania in Fallout 3. The settlement of Arefu is based on a real life location in Romania, in Transylvania near the Dracula's castle hence those quests in F3 are related to vampires.
slight correction: Arefu is in far-north Wallachia. and the position in relation to the place with the vampires is the same both in game and in real life, both being to the southwest of Meresti/Bran and being separated by an important geographic feature (Potomac river/Carpathians)
as someone from the UK I was really surprised to see a reference to my own little hometown in fallout 76! In the flatwoods motel gym, there is a holotape of a British salesman talking about what he's up to in appalachia. He mentions getting the plane back to Ipswich, which is where I'm from! curiously though, the fallout version of my town must be much different as we are far too small to have an airport in real life...
HOLY HELL! I’m from Ipswich too! And yeah, that tickled me as well, even though the actor has a London accent rather than a Suffolk one (I imagine that would have been a little too oblique for a global audience though 😂). Never fails to make me smile though: seems like Ipswich seems to be used a lot in American media when they need something that sounds a bit “English village-y”. Also - we did actually used to have an airport, believe it or not! Not a big one, obviously. But - we did have one! It’s been closed for years, but was located out by the Orwell Bridge, near Ransomes business park. I believe there’s a McDonald’s there now 😂 Good to meet you, fellow Ipswichian!
@@steveharrison76 had no idea there was ever an airport here! Must've stayed open in the Fallout universe haha. Always cool to see someone from the same hometown!
I like that the government was telling Americans to go to Canada in the event of war "In case nuclear winter ensues you should definitely go to the place where winter is already super brutal, trust us lol"
Nah they didnt let anyone go there because the army was kiiinda murdering all the civilians and didnt wanna repeat of vietnam. i dread to wonder what they did to the large native american population in canada, because i know they wouldnt be cool with their forests being turned to tinder "cuz lol energy" or whatever dumb reason they did that in lore.
@@notjimpickens7928 I'm native American myself and there wasn't shit we could do to stop the government from stealing our land back in the day I doubt it would be any different in the future lol they prolly just killed us or starved us until we had to leave like they did in real life
when Hanlon says the NCR was “hunting ghosts in Baja” he means the NCR was on a pointless expedition in the peninsula which did nothing for the republic
the implication i always got is they were maybe trying to either find something that wasn't there, or unsuccessfully trying to hint some kind of hostile group
Hanlon told you himself. He made up the stories of a raider group hundred strong to scare off the NCR settler away from the Baja locals. The NCR goverment on the other hand took that seriously and sent it best rangers there.
I love how you actually take the effort to learn the correct pronunciation of other languages. Almost every other TH-camr would have just spoken pigeon French/Chinese/German etc.
About the japanese part with Far Harbor and the Nakano family, Kasumi name mean mist in japanese, it's a well hidden reference to the mist/fog of Far Harbor.
@softb Depending on the dialect it can mean "Mist" or "Clear Flower Blossom/Pure flower blossom". The former is Kanji definition, the latter is hiragana definition.
Bottled drinks is a commonly used design back from the 50s. I still hear my mom and dad talk about the old days where milk and lemonade was bottled. We can easily find a lot of cans in the wasteland so it's just them looking at what was popular in the 50s.
I’m fine with Sweden not being mentioned if Denmark isn’t being mentioned either. That’s good old sibling rivalry for you! At least our little brother Norway is mentioned.
20:26 FYI the "D" is silent in "Michaud". I find this character interesting because he's most likely French-Canadian due to Maine receiving lots of French-Canadian immigrants in the 19th and early 20th century (and to this day New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine have French as the second most spoken language) but his accent is Parisian which is probably an oversight by Bethesda.
Some little notes on your Irish Lore: The Four-leafed clover is actually Three-Leafed and more commonaly known as a Shamrock ☘️! The shipyards could be a reference to Harland and Wolfe In Belfast who had the biggest yards in the world producing the Titanic and Olympic ships. Uisce Beatha isnt a brand of Whiskey it is the Irish words for Whiskey, it simply means Water of Life. Really nice to see the culture being brought into the fallout universe though! We Irish! We survived the Bombs! ☘️💚😁
@@maltflesh I suppose those facts are Roscommonly known here, but for other far flung friends they have Laois knowledge about all things Éire. It's only the Done (gal) thing to help the foreigners understand 😂😂😂
At 40:11 that photo is really famous of London and it’s Old Bailey and was taken after a big bombing from Germany in the Blitz’s. Just to clarify, James from Fallout 3 the voice actor Liam Nesson is from Northern Ireland so it’s better to say he has a British/Irish accent not English one.
About Canada's state after the war, in Honest Hearts Randall Clark mentions how soon after the great war it started snowing green and it last quite a while even though it was in Utah, so I imagine Canana would be 99% frozen wasteland with a new radioactive ice age having taken place basically
You missed a minor reference to the UK that can be found in the Far Harbor dlc. In the Far Harbor dlc there is a random npc that lives there who speaks in an English accent and says his family descended from a land known as Yorkshire. This is a link to show the NPC th-cam.com/video/oy4ET3PygZE/w-d-xo.html
yea I loved that refrence being actually from west Yorkshire lool our dialect is considered slang in the UK. The NPC's familily more than likely come from Whitby in North Yorkshire seeing as it's a fairly large fishing town here and has a fairly large fishing industry collage they also could be from Hull in west Yorkshire
The nuka cola bottle/can note at the end could be in regards to the fact it takes much more energy to make aluminium rather than glass, but probably more likely to be the historic nostalgia of the bottles fitting better in the cold war theme of the game.
Does anyone know why so many people get this mixed up? I swear I hear a lot of American TH-camrs do the same and I wondered if it was part of American English.
Although Helvetia in Fallout 76 was ALSO (but not only) founded by Germans immigrants, the name of the town as well as the version of Fasnacht present in F76 are based on Switzerland! (Helvetia being a now mostly deprecated name for Switzerland) :D
Translation is the paradigm, the exemplar of all writing. It is translation that demonstrates most vividly the yearning for transformation that underlies every act involving speech, that supremely human gift.
Really appreciate how you pronounce all the different words/names in several languages as properly as you could, especially for the Chinese ones. Some people just don't bother how much they butcher words foreign to them.
I'm probably in the minority but it actually annoys me usually, the constant change in accent is just jarring most of the time. Then again it also annoys me to no end that it's been over a decade at this point and DS players still mispronounce caestus (k-eye-stus with k-eye as a single syllable and being the stressed one) as "sesstuss" so I'm a pretty big hypocrite.
Props for trying, but you can't possibly expect someone not to butcher a foreign word unless he has experiencing the language the word originates from.
Can't tell you how cool it is as a Canadian to know exactly where the Long Branch Arsenal where the Survilalist Rifle was made is. Like we'll hear about Toronto or Vancouver or a province in media, but such a specific place being mentioned and in one of my fav franchises is just wild! I mean the arsenal doesn't exist anymore but I wonder which writer included that and how they knew about it.
Czechia is also mentioned every time the player picks up a "Pilsner" beer in FO76 with the name originating from the famous beer-brewing Czech town Plzeň (Pilsen)
Put a lot of research into the in game lore but there a ton of mistakes about the real world comparisons. Like saying celts are irish or that australian shepherds are australian, which they're not.
Another great informative, entertaining, and organically delivered video. One of the main reasons I prefer your fallout content is that you engage in natural feeling dialogue with your listener. You are able to create a sense of conversation as opposed to feeling like you are just dictating the information to the listener. Keep up the wunderbar work and I look forward to what you discuss next! (P.S. I thoroughly enjoyed your perfectly preserved pie recipe and I make it quite frequently now!)
Regarding Japan, there was also a samurai in the mothership zeta dlc. Much love from your beloved Denmark and thanks for your very good danish and mentioning us, sneaking us in even though we arnt part of the lore 🇩🇰❤️
I love the depth you go into Fallout lore, its very interesting to see it all in one place rather than finding tidbits during playthroughs. Great video thank you so much 💯👍
@@rubbadubba7153 Yes I’m very satisfied with the show so far. No it’s not perfect but it’s the success Fallout desperately needed right about now, it’s generated a lot of hype around the franchise again.
Not sure if anyone has done so but Kasumi's mother and father do actually have slighy Japanese accents meaning they probably come from Japan. Plus with them being travelers of sea it is most likely.
If I remember correctly, that piece of information originates from the _Fallout Bible,_ which isn't fully canon. The nuclear attack on Tel Aviv, Israel, has never been recanonized or referenced in any of the games.
Surprised you didn't mention that the Yao Guai is a Chinese name translating to "demon", or Brahmin is an Indian name coming from the caste of people that tend to become scolars, priests or teachers
Fun fact, iirc "Uisce Beathe" meaning "water of life " is the actual namesake of....whiskey. Makes sense if you look at "whiskey" as a believable bastardization of "Uisce"
A 52 minute long video by Radking? We've been blessed lol also I like the new intro it looks pretty sick. I always wanted to know what us Canadians were doing during fallout lol
Also about Poland theres few character's with Polish surenames in the games so at least we know that in Fallout Polish people spread all across the world just like in the real world
In The Pitt DLC for Fallout 3, Asher refers to a city called "ronto". This could refer to the city of Toronto in the Fallout universe. This might not be cannon, but the rebuild the capital mod for tale of two wastelands give some backstory on that City as a war-torn hellhole with a large cache of explosives discoved by "boomlords". Essentially, the Boomers from New Vegas if there were different tribes of them all fighting for control of ronto.
There are several instances where you say someone's descendants came from other countries, I think you mean ancestors. One example: 'There's no indication that Kenji's recent descendants came from Japan ... so I believe his family lived in America during the Great War.' The people that came before Kenji would be his ancestors, not his descendants.
I am a HUGE fallout enthusiast and this video was awesome I honestly didnt know there was THAT much to see and find you have definitely opened my eyes to new information and i am thankful 😊
i only say Europe as the strategy guide says you might have blown up Europe, although it does look like you're blowing up a large part of the fallout tactics map.
Imagine how frightening the nuclear creatures in Australia would be in Fallout. Coz our critters are deadly as they are now. I'd love to see giant mutant koala bears that jump 20 feet in the air, to drop on their prey.
It'd just be a normal day, Australia wouldn't even know the rest of the world changed, they are used to it. Heck, I have no doubt a rite of passage would be fistfighting an alpha deathclaw. Just a normal day for them.
Been gorging on your videos just now that the algorithm god suggested one. Great content, thank you. It has been a long while I have subbed to a fallout tuber and here we are.
Well, sending a large force to a further away location can be a decent strategic move. Force the enemy to split its forces across the biggest distance possible.
as much as we hate being australia’s little brother, us new zealanders do feel a _little_ sense of pride whenever the south pacific is mentioned. because we know that whatever’s happening in australia is probably happening here too. i like to think that in mad max new zealand is going through the exact same wild west esque joy ride
We used to use USSR and Russia interchangeably when talking about them during the cold war, not even differentiating between the different states in the USSR, just calling them all Russian. Further, many maps detailed the different states which made up the USSR long before the collapse, typically with USSR (rarely spelled out) in larger letters over the middle, much like you'll see a world map with United States in bold, then smaller letters for the states. So I wouldn't nitpick over a potential collapse.
that was hella creepy... im danish and i paused the video to see if it was there, and when i didnt find it i unpaused and you mentioned denmark and said "Vi er meget kede af det" haha thats amazing dude!
The Norwegian one, with the guys saying that they are coming home... thats heavy man. Amazing vid, Fallout is aways a little emotional, wich is why the lore is so amazing and rich
There's one thing I need to point out as an Australian. Despite the name Australian shepherds aren't actually Australian. They were created in California where existing Spanish dogs were bred with Australian collies to create the new breed and they took the name from them.
WAIT! YOU'RE DANISH?!?!?!? HOLY HANDGRENADE!!! THAT MIGHT BE THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER SEEN A DANISH FALLOUT TH-camR THAT'S FREAKING AWESOME!!! Nice to see a fellow Dansker ^^"
Not picky for sure, but the power generated at Niagara Falls goes directly to power New York CITY. New York STATE is largely powered by nuclear reactors dotted around in remote locations. Great compilation here, well worth the wait!
Thanks for the video. All your vids are gold. I used to watch alot of Oxhorn and he's good but your also really good and have your own unique sense. I really like your voice tone. It really adds to the lore.
another minor mention of the UK is a fisherman in Far Harbour who mentions his family hailing from Yorkshire and he has a Yorkshire accent (albeit a weak one)
Our accents differ between north south east and west and by city me being from Leeds sounds completly different to someone from Bradford which is only about 5 miles away
@@djstona5284 oh aye ik that accents differ wildly in the UK its just the guy from Yorkshire to my admittedly non Yorkshire ears just sounds like generic northern English accent.
A note about the Nuka cola cans rusting, unless they were made with steel (which as we know modern soda and beer cans are 100% aluminum) Aluminum does NOT rust so while it’s a good thought, the idea of them rusting away wouldn’t be definite.
Aluminum doesn't rust because that term is only for iron but it oxidizes. It'll take a bit longer than iron to break down but still in the ball park of a few hundred years maybe faster with sulfur or salt around.
For Canada references, you forgot the raider gang Sudden Death Overtime in Fallout 3. Everything they do is hockey-themed, and they all have French Canadian names.
At 28:30 the wrong river is used, that is the "marecchia" river and the brig in the photo is the "ponte di Trebbio" or Trebbio brig. It's locked in the city of Rimini. The Rubicon river is several km up North.
Since I'm old enough to remember the old cold war days, I'll point out that back in the day USSR and Russia were used pretty much interchangeably to describe the same state. So someone calling it Russia doesn't really suggest much.
Don't take this wrong but it's surprising someone being old enough to remember those times and being a person that knows about video games

Vary good point, I didn't even think of that. It makes since though.
Yeah I never would have thought of that but I think your probably right KrausHaus
Then again I'm color blind so I probably wouldn't notice lol
Yeah, whenever red gets old it takes a bright pink-ish shade after a few years, since canadian royal forces wear bright red, theylit uniforms probably turn pink after a while

I'm glad the fallout series introduced the fictional country of Canada
It was so popular, world maps have the fictional country on them as reference to the wildly acclaimed bethesda games.
Yea the whole u.s. loves fallout lol
It's spelt and pronounced "Canadialand.
Most people call us in Canada as the U.S hat but our thoughts on that is the U.S as our toilet.
@@ashwean Roleplaying as a man from a fictional fallout country eh?
I like to imagine Australia is basically just mad max (honestly i would love to see a fallout game set in Australia purely to see the mutated versions of our animals) also like to imagine Russia in fallout is also just metro cause metro is also great and already is damn similar
Yea I kinda feel like us Aussies got shafted in terms of fallout references.
Like I’d honestly settle for a shitty Australia accent quoting “Chuck a shrimp on the barbie!”
Even though it’s a fuckin prawn. Also who fuckin bbq’s a prawn?
Australia, home of hell's greatest monstrosities, mutated.. no thanks!
@Do0m3rdude1995 wow as a fan of both metro and fallout i didnt know this, great fact. Tho i don't notice that many similarities both in terms of lore and gameplay. Yeah they both have nuclear war and mutants but thats about it
I have yet to play the metro series but picked up the GOG bundle during the winter sale. Excited to try it out :)
Metro feels the most like USSR in the Fallout universe, though with contemporary tech instead of retro-futuristic.
If only video games could do crossovers... Though the age of crossovers in general is very much over.
The fact that fallout 4, fallout 3, and new Vegas all take place within the same few years in the lore is crazy to me because there's a very good chance the Courier, Lone Wanderer and Sole Survivor have met at some point, or at least heard of one another
I'd like to imagine that people avoid the Commonwealth like the plague
If those 3 ever met, it would be a potentially catastrophic event for anyone close by, that would be the deadliest squad in the Wasteland.
All 3 of my "sarcastic jerks" charcters in one place. DAMN
@@manuelpelaitay8559 Lone Wanderer: [Speech 90%]
Courier: [Speech 90]
Sole Survivor: [Sarcastic]
Heard of each other, possibly, but met each other is hugely unlikely.
My biggest takeaway was: I’m surprised how possibly common trans-oceanic travel is after the Great War. I’d thought the oceans and seas would be completely empty and impossible to cross. But apparently not, it probably looks similar to the age of sail out their, with rusted metal ship hulls out fitted with large makeshift masts. Engine power ships probably being very rare.
Maybe powered ships are more common, especially considered how common fusion generators, and fusion cores, are.
Engine powered ships did not exist when the Norwegians visited and established settlements in North America nearly 1000 years before Columbus, didn't stop the Spanish from exploring the Americas or Immigrants from various countries using sail ships, and do not forget the Polynesians were a seafaring people that navigated their way to Hawaii 1500 years ago.
i mean a power armor suit could last so long with a fusion cell alone
probably just ships or boats that can run well wth such energy
or just probably the good ole rowing or sailing like people did before technology was so advanced
There's also forms of air travel still for example, the vertibirds and brotherhood zepplin
@@ZathrasParadox Polynesians even settled Madagascar out of Borneo, crossing the Indian Ocean en masse around the beginning of the common era, and did it in record time using their superior knowledge of seasonal winds and currents.
Kinda unrelated, I just think they are one of the more badass peoples in history.
The Philippines is mentioned by the newscaster on the Sole Survivor's TV during the Fallout 4 intro sequence, specifically the small island municipality of Mambajao. They mention how a US infantry regiment is deployed there and alludes to the Philippines being invaded at some point by Chinese forces, but being met with strong resistance by the Americans. It's easy to miss since they don't mention the country by name, but I was really pleasantly surprised to hear my country being referenced when I first played the game all those years ago.
Napa isip din ako nun ‘mga naka power armor na kano dumating sa Pilipinas 😂
@@ren4733 Namatay siguro sila dahil sa init bago nangyari yung apocalypse hahaha

Another reference to Canada is in the stock of the Survivalist's Rifle - there are carvings saying "STOP!" and "ARRET!" (which is Stop in French), indicating that US troops were also deployed to Quebec.
Ontario*
i was thinking Ca USA because I'm from California and the town next to me is called Ontario lol
Canada was completely annexed by the US and occupied by the US military. You can see US soldiers in power armor executing Canadian POW's in Fallout 1's intro.
As a quebecois after doing honest I only used the survivalist rifle for this reason, for me it was so obvious

The city called "Helvetia" was populated by German and Swiss immigrants which means that Switzerland is also a part of the Fallout universe. There are also other mentions like the P220 Sig Sauer (Swiss designed pistol), the Slalom Chalet simulation which was set in the Swiss Alps, a dude claiming that he has a Swiss watch, mentions of Swiss cheese and some others.
It's a world wide apocalypse, safe to assume the whole world was impacted
"not on my watch. it's a swiss watch! very reliable."

The whole world was destroyed. All the countries that exist in the real world exist in fallout universe. Out universes diverged at some point. So, in the game, you would have family members in this alternate reality that were nuked.

@@isthattrue1083yea I’m not really sure why people are surprised certain countries exist. It takes place on planet earth. Obviously it’s alternate history (advancements in nuclear power but no transistors in chips so electronics are all still basic) but everything else is pretty much the same.
The situation with Taiwan is interesting. Was it taken by China or used as a base by the US for there invasion of China?
Maybe both? China annexed it but it was later liberated/occupation by the US during their invasion of mainland China.

Okay I'm gonna be honest, as a Danish person i didn't really expect for this new fallout TH-camr i just found to not only say he was sad to not se Denmark on the list, but also hit me with a "jeg er meget ked af det". That shocked the hell outta me.

@@Fiemus9 i actually knew what denmark was when i was in elementary school because i did an assignment on my ancestry and since my last name was rasmussen it was danish so i did my assignment on denmark.. it was back in new york city great times
@@Fiemus9Your surprise is warrented. Barely anyone here knows where anything is. I can ask people where Paris is and they’ll deadass say “England”
@@ScaryFootwhen i was in california i had a really hard time getting people to understand what we meant about Denmark. (Excluding one guy whose danish great-grandfather came to America on a boat and someone who'd studied here)

The terms "Soviet" and "Russian" were commonly, if erroneously, used interchangeably by Americans during the Cold War, so it's not really weird that people in the Fallout universe still did if the USSR didn't collapse.

Asher from The Pitt mentioned Ronto. There's a chance it could be a reference to Toronto, a city in Canada.
He could have also been referring to Toronto, Ohio given that one is closer to Pittsburgh than Toronto, Ontario
@@BBaetz_ yeah but why would they allude to that
@@BBaetz_ In the speech Hermos is referencing "Ashur proclaims that the Pitt, with its industry, security, and strength, is the envy of the Commonwealth, the Capital Wasteland, and Ronto, respectively." -Per the wiki. And if you look at the locations of those cities on a map (Pittsburgh, D.C., Boston) it becomes incredibly obvious that the 4th city; Ronto, refers to Toronto, Ontario given that he's referencing major population centers. While you could be correct, I doubt it since the other cities are equally distant if not more so and Toronto, Ohio only has a population of around 5k people. What I find interesting though is the lack of any post-war mention of Cleveland, Columbus, Baltimore, Philadelphia or New York City.
@@shainmikulik2567 I don't know about the rest of those cities but I believe New York in particular was reduced to complete rubble. Uninhabitable even by wasteland standards.

@@SunnyBlam I thought it was a Chernobyl like situation where a nuclear reactor went off, because elder Maxon or a holotape mentions flying over massive skyscrapers and I think he’s talking about NYC.
Your Chinese pronunciation is great, I always love when creators make an effort to get the pronunciations right
Butchered Galway though 🤣
*_The Philippines has been mentioned at the start of the game if you listen closely to the television, you will hear the newscaster talking about the island of mambajao which is part of the bohol sea and it is located in the Philippines._* Newscaster: "It would also appear our troops stationed overseas are experiencing some unusual weather, as well. On the Island of Mambajao the nights are cold. Unseasonably so for Southeast Asia. But for the 5th Infantry, that's as comfortable as an Autumn jamboree. All the easier for our mechanized hellcats to drive any screaming Commie meamies right into the Bohol Sea."
I guess that implies that the Philippines has been partial invaded, since Mambajao is quite south
Worth noting that with all the divergence, the Philippines aren't necessarily a country in Fallout. They could still be a US territory in that world. In-fact, this would actually explain why it was invaded in the first place.

One thing you missed about England was that there were still trade relationships between UK and USA as there is one holetape in Fallout 76 about UK salesman being in sales trip to US also he flew there which shows that there was still functional air trafic between the countries .
Because of this we can conclude that either UK was not affected by the conflict in middle east or the European commonwealth was recovering from it before the great war
@Caleb OKAY Well unfortunately your opinion doesnt matter in the bigger picture as long as the devs themselves consider it to be canon it will
Also there arent any major retcons in the game contrary to what some people say. Like for example brotherhood being there. It simply isnt true because there is firm lore explaing why they are there. If you dont like writing it is your problem but dont call it retcon
Personally I don't like the ideea of casual trade between the US and the rest of the world, it kinda breaks the feeling of isolation the games had, being stuck on a giant iradiated rock, not knowing if the rest of the world also suffered the same fate

Some things you forgot, Glock is a real world company that exists in game, they make the Plasma Defender. Also the FN FAL makes an appearance in Fallout which is also Belgium
Fallout and Fallout 2 item description: "Glock 86 Plasma Pistol. Designed by the Gaston Glock AI. Shoots a small bolt of superheated plasma. Powered by a small energy cell. Min ST: 4."
so extra lore glock's founder was made into an ai which probably lives in Austria given that Glocks headquarters is there
Not related to Fallout but my shooting coach in college was a Champion target shooter, a ghost writer for Eugene Stoner, and Gaston Glock sent him a prototype way back in the day. He thought it was garbage and used it as a paperweight in his office. He never really warmed up to his designs. Always preferred stopping power over capacity/weight since he was a great shot an instructor.
@@axelarroyo3286 well idk all that much about guns, but I guess the glock being a very common line of guns might have to do with it being easier for and more accessible to "new people"
You never find a P90? Also an FN gun.
@@axelarroyo3286 “Stopping power” or “knockdown power” is a complete myth and a 9mm Glock is objectively superior to a .45 ACP 1911 in every way except its reduced utility as a club due to weighing less. It’s too bad your coach was so recalcitrant; Glocks are also fantastic competition pistols.
I’m not only impressed with the vast research done but also the pronunciation of foreign words! Excellent job. Instant follow!
Operation Trinitite is a reference to the first nuclear bomb test, at Trinity in the Los Alamos test range. The name "Trinitite" comes from the odd material that was created by the blast. Bits of the metal tower that held the bomb fused with sand and copper wiring to create trinitite. It was actually sold in pieces of jewelry for a while until its negative health effects became more understood.
This says a lot of capitalism.

As someone who doesn't play Fallout, this is super cool, like an alternative history situation. Very well presented video!
Americans often used the terms "Russian" and "Soviet" interchangeably during the Cold War when talking about the country, so I would not lean on that very heavily as evidence of if/when a collapse of the USSR occurred in any American-based documentation.
A lot of people around the world, not just in the US, still do the same for some reason
Plus Fallout 1 specifically mentions a Soviet ambassador being present in California when the bombs dropped in a menu screen
In part its because Russia was always there. When the USSR was at the height of its power, so was Russia.
It was usually more applicable to reference the USSR in world news settings, but sometimes the topic would be specific to Russia within the USSR.
Its not usually incorrect to say Russia instead of USSR, unless you're specifically talking about the collective nation states as a whole.
@@SineN0mine3 in the correct term, "Russia" technically means the Russian SFSR, inside the Union.
I mean it's not that much of a problem cause despite the USSR being a "union" it was still pretty much the Russian Empire just communist and with a different name

Just a note about the mentions of Australia. Australian Shepherds are not actually from Australia at all. The breed originated in Texas from one particular dog breeder and rancher in the 1800s and quickly spread across the rest of the united states because of their popularity as herding dogs, particularly across the western coast and the rockies.
Their origin breed isn't from Australia either, but from Spain, as their main genetic contribution is the Basque shepherd. The reason they got the name "Australian" is because they had blue mearle hues similar to imported dog breeds from Australia. This blue hue is also where they get alternative, and much more correct name of Blue Heelers.
that's like bombay cats, you'd think they would come from India but they were actually bred in Kentucky
@retsaM innavoiG this^
Koolies played a big part in the origin of the Aussie shepard

An important thing to note about the USSR is that it was a federal union composed of multiple nations with Russia being one of them, in other words Rusia was part of the USSR not a replacement of it.
That's his whole point...
One map says Russia but many others (of a larger scale) show other parts of the USSR also being distinct, hence it's broken up/doesn't exist..
Perhaps it became the Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics, which was an actual proposal for a new structure of the crumbling SU by Gorbachev. In Fallout, there probably wasn't a GKChP coup, and some sort of compromise between the republics was actually achieved.
This would also mean that the history of Fallout SU is probably pretty close to the real life one, with the exception of, y'know, total collapse.
All just assumptions tho.
@@TechnoFall42 My assumption is that the USSR was still a thing but the different republics were more independent, akin to a confederation they might have actually been a confederation at that point but it probably started the same as IRL.
@@2XocraM like the European Union
Russia technically is the successor state of the USSR tho so your technically not quite right. They inherited the seat of the USSR on the U.N security council and most Soviet treaties and such were honored and held by the Russian government in the immediate aftermath.
Also there's another reference to Romania in Fallout 3. The settlement of Arefu is based on a real life location in Romania, in Transylvania near the Dracula's castle hence those quests in F3 are related to vampires.
slight correction: Arefu is in far-north Wallachia.
and the position in relation to the place with the vampires is the same both in game and in real life, both being to the southwest of Meresti/Bran and being separated by an important geographic feature (Potomac river/Carpathians)
as someone from the UK I was really surprised to see a reference to my own little hometown in fallout 76! In the flatwoods motel gym, there is a holotape of a British salesman talking about what he's up to in appalachia. He mentions getting the plane back to Ipswich, which is where I'm from! curiously though, the fallout version of my town must be much different as we are far too small to have an airport in real life...
Stop being so cute, loser.
HOLY HELL! I’m from Ipswich too! And yeah, that tickled me as well, even though the actor has a London accent rather than a Suffolk one (I imagine that would have been a little too oblique for a global audience though 😂).
Never fails to make me smile though: seems like Ipswich seems to be used a lot in American media when they need something that sounds a bit “English village-y”. Also - we did actually used to have an airport, believe it or not! Not a big one, obviously. But - we did have one! It’s been closed for years, but was located out by the Orwell Bridge, near Ransomes business park. I believe there’s a McDonald’s there now 😂

One thing you missed for Mexico is the NCR's deployment of its Rangers there in Baja. Apparently the were "hunting ghosts"

I'm probably in the minority but it actually annoys me usually, the constant change in accent is just jarring most of the time. Then again it also annoys me to no end that it's been over a decade at this point and DS players still mispronounce caestus (k-eye-stus with k-eye as a single syllable and being the stressed one) as "sesstuss" so I'm a pretty big hypocrite.

Put a lot of research into the in game lore but there a ton of mistakes about the real world comparisons. Like saying celts are irish or that australian shepherds are australian, which they're not.
Another great informative, entertaining, and organically delivered video. One of the main reasons I prefer your fallout content is that you engage in natural feeling dialogue with your listener. You are able to create a sense of conversation as opposed to feeling like you are just dictating the information to the listener. Keep up the wunderbar work and I look forward to what you discuss next!
(P.S. I thoroughly enjoyed your perfectly preserved pie recipe and I make it quite frequently now!)

Regarding Japan, there was also a samurai in the mothership zeta dlc.
Much love from your beloved Denmark and thanks for your very good danish and mentioning us, sneaking us in even though we arnt part of the lore 🇩🇰❤️
29:04
I love the depth you go into Fallout lore, its very interesting to see it all in one place rather than finding tidbits during playthroughs. Great video thank you so much 💯👍
I'm really looking forward to the Fallout TV show. There are so many amazing stories that could be told in this fascinating universe.
@juscbhbhuvsdsdvbhjwsdv3843 if they give it an actual R/M eating it'll be good. Andor and Last Of Us are beacons of hope for media
Updates on this post?
@@rubbadubba7153 Yes I’m very satisfied with the show so far. No it’s not perfect but it’s the success Fallout desperately needed right about now, it’s generated a lot of hype around the franchise again.
Not sure if anyone has done so but Kasumi's mother and father do actually have slighy Japanese accents meaning they probably come from Japan. Plus with them being travelers of sea it is most likely.
Wasn't tel Aviv destroyed in a nuclear exchange with Europe? And didn't it prompt america to create vault TEC?
If I remember correctly, that piece of information originates from the _Fallout Bible,_ which isn't fully canon. The nuclear attack on Tel Aviv, Israel, has never been recanonized or referenced in any of the games.
It was a terrorist that detonated a nuke INSIDE Tel Aviv, not a country that launched nukes at it
Thank you. I was just wondering.
yes indeed
based
Surprised you didn't mention that the Yao Guai is a Chinese name translating to "demon", or Brahmin is an Indian name coming from the caste of people that tend to become scolars, priests or teachers
most people who know Fallout trivia know that
And the bonus of it being "Yogi" as in "Yogi Bear" is amusing.
@@MagnusTonitrum117 i actually didn't know about the yao guai's translated name
Fun fact, iirc "Uisce Beathe" meaning "water of life " is the actual namesake of....whiskey.
Makes sense if you look at "whiskey" as a believable bastardization of "Uisce"
A 52 minute long video by Radking? We've been blessed lol also I like the new intro it looks pretty sick. I always wanted to know what us Canadians were doing during fallout lol
Also about Poland theres few character's with Polish surenames in the games so at least we know that in Fallout Polish people spread all across the world just like in the real world
Maybe they are descendants of polish settlers who came to America over the centuries.
Is "Penski" Polish? There‘s a doctor in Vault 88 named that
I mean even in the fallout world migration before the war exists but yeh either european commonwealth descendsnts or ancestors
@@MGSVxBreakpoint Never heard of it, surely not polish. Actually after looking it up it's even more common in germany lol
@@nisz2752 weird
As far as Ancient Greek references the one you forgot was Helios One, the solar energy station in FO: NV. Helios being the Greek Sun god.
In The Pitt DLC for Fallout 3, Asher refers to a city called "ronto". This could refer to the city of Toronto in the Fallout universe.
This might not be cannon, but the rebuild the capital mod for tale of two wastelands give some backstory on that City as a war-torn hellhole with a large cache of explosives discoved by "boomlords".
Essentially, the Boomers from New Vegas if there were different tribes of them all fighting for control of ronto.
it is Toronto
There are several instances where you say someone's descendants came from other countries, I think you mean ancestors. One example: 'There's no indication that Kenji's recent descendants came from Japan ... so I believe his family lived in America during the Great War.' The people that came before Kenji would be his ancestors, not his descendants.
12:50, that’s one of my favorite ambient tracks, it’s been a while since I played 3 so it’s nice to hear it.
Fallout has my favorite lore, second to MGS. Keep up the great content!
BRO SAME
FOX!
Thank you and I’m glad you liked it!
All the good lore is before bethseda shit all over the series.
Dude spelunky has better lore than donkey kong you casual
I am a HUGE fallout enthusiast and this video was awesome I honestly didnt know there was THAT much to see and find you have definitely opened my eyes to new information and i am thankful 😊
A "Fallout: Australia, The Down Under" with flying snakes and spiders and friggin' emus mate is a need
I believe in mothership zeta, the Loan Wonderer can "accidentally" blow up a large part of Europe.
Actually it was Around Michigan I believe
i only say Europe as the strategy guide says you might have blown up Europe, although it does look like you're blowing up a large part of the fallout tactics map.
It wasn’t mentioned right?
@@johnthecrazedsskull81 wait of that's the case there goes that enclave base in Chicago
Just traveling around trying to compute how compound interest works.
Imagine how frightening the nuclear creatures in Australia would be in Fallout. Coz our critters are deadly as they are now. I'd love to see giant mutant koala bears that jump 20 feet in the air, to drop on their prey.
How about mutant emu bird? That gonna be a epic fight
Mutant jellyfish
Ah yes the mighty drop bears
It'd just be a normal day, Australia wouldn't even know the rest of the world changed, they are used to it. Heck, I have no doubt a rite of passage would be fistfighting an alpha deathclaw. Just a normal day for them.
the spiders are already pretty big there
Been gorging on your videos just now that the algorithm god suggested one. Great content, thank you. It has been a long while I have subbed to a fallout tuber and here we are.
Well, sending a large force to a further away location can be a decent strategic move.
Force the enemy to split its forces across the biggest distance possible.
if you're dumb enough to fall for that
For once Belgium isnt forgotten. I salute my waffle to this
as much as we hate being australia’s little brother, us new zealanders do feel a _little_ sense of pride whenever the south pacific is mentioned. because we know that whatever’s happening in australia is probably happening here too. i like to think that in mad max new zealand is going through the exact same wild west esque joy ride
You forgot the USA. It gets mentioned a couple of times during Fallout 3.
I noticed that right away too. Is there _any_ Fallout game that doesn't mention the United States?
@@an_old_optimist6914 the fallout RP in Gmod
We used to use USSR and Russia interchangeably when talking about them during the cold war, not even differentiating between the different states in the USSR, just calling them all Russian. Further, many maps detailed the different states which made up the USSR long before the collapse, typically with USSR (rarely spelled out) in larger letters over the middle, much like you'll see a world map with United States in bold, then smaller letters for the states. So I wouldn't nitpick over a potential collapse.
that was hella creepy... im danish and i paused the video to see if it was there, and when i didnt find it i unpaused and you mentioned denmark and said "Vi er meget kede af det" haha thats amazing dude!
The Norwegian one, with the guys saying that they are coming home... thats heavy man. Amazing vid, Fallout is aways a little emotional, wich is why the lore is so amazing and rich
There's one thing I need to point out as an Australian. Despite the name Australian shepherds aren't actually Australian. They were created in California where existing Spanish dogs were bred with Australian collies to create the new breed and they took the name from them.
Similar kind of thing as a person from the uk but celts arent from Ireland either
WAIT! YOU'RE DANISH?!?!?!? HOLY HANDGRENADE!!! THAT MIGHT BE THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER SEEN A DANISH FALLOUT TH-camR
THAT'S FREAKING AWESOME!!! Nice to see a fellow Dansker ^^"
Not picky for sure, but the power generated at Niagara Falls goes directly to power New York CITY. New York STATE is largely powered by nuclear reactors dotted around in remote locations. Great compilation here, well worth the wait!
That sounds really inefficient and impractical
46:53 Arefu is also a village in Romania, near Bran Castle.
Det er mega vildt at du er dansker og har fået så mange seer! Tillykke! :D
38:16 how dare Bethesda Cut such an amazing concept. I need this side quest added to the game. It just sounds like an awesome experience.
31:10 that’s new to me, because I’m German. In the German version he has an Japanese accent.
Thanks for the video. All your vids are gold. I used to watch alot of Oxhorn and he's good but your also really good and have your own unique sense. I really like your voice tone. It really adds to the lore.
Immersion* not lore. You can’t add lore to a game by having a great narration voice
@@dougz201 your right. I meant to say Immersion. Thats exactly what I wanted to say. Thanks.
another minor mention of the UK is a fisherman in Far Harbour who mentions his family hailing from Yorkshire and he has a Yorkshire accent (albeit a weak one)
Our accents differ between north south east and west and by city me being from Leeds sounds completly different to someone from Bradford which is only about 5 miles away
@@djstona5284 oh aye ik that accents differ wildly in the UK its just the guy from Yorkshire to my admittedly non Yorkshire ears just sounds like generic northern English accent.
It’s cool to see Ireland mentioned especially the likes of Waterford
A note about the Nuka cola cans rusting, unless they were made with steel (which as we know modern soda and beer cans are 100% aluminum) Aluminum does NOT rust so while it’s a good thought, the idea of them rusting away wouldn’t be definite.
Aluminum doesn't rust because that term is only for iron but it oxidizes. It'll take a bit longer than iron to break down but still in the ball park of a few hundred years maybe faster with sulfur or salt around.
@@stonehallowaluminum is self-healing, but not indefinitely. It would probably last a century or so longer than steel.
@@eMorphized That's what I said isn't it?
For Canada references, you forgot the raider gang Sudden Death Overtime in Fallout 3. Everything they do is hockey-themed, and they all have French Canadian names.
Oh my god did not expect Denmark! I was crying about it and heard you speak Danish, haha
Btw that whiskey brand name translates loosly to "water of life" in Irish Gaelic, in fact the word whiskey comes from that.
would have been nice to know more of what happend to other parts of the world like europe
Agreed!
Lowkey I wouldn’t mind a fallout spin-off game based in like London or Paris or something
@@Crailtep Fallout is too US-centric for that.
I vote for Fallout: Germany 😂
At 28:30 the wrong river is used, that is the "marecchia" river and the brig in the photo is the "ponte di Trebbio" or Trebbio brig. It's locked in the city of Rimini. The Rubicon river is several km up North.
I’m honestly surprised Oman got a mention, I wasn’t expecting that.
Curie is by far one of my fav followers to travel with and do the side quest for. One redeemer of fo4 for me
