Jack Cabot actually says he isn't talking about the zetans if you chose the right dialogue options meaning the "ancients" are a different race altogether.
thats what I thought during the quest as well, it explains why they have been poking around a world full of primitives for several hundred years, they were likely looking for Lorenzo's crown or were looking to keep it sealed up in those ruins.
Annunaki. Zeta's were their allies in the rl stories, and Annunaki made subspecies of Zetas to blend in as humans and be over the Egyptians in ancient times as their pharoahs. Hence their wierd heads.
Agreed also the lorenzo artifact both on his helmet and gun are designed like a scarab, i personally havent seen any reference to scarabs in zetan's ships, tech, or attire.
I got a theory behind the Fallout 4 ship; Since the lone wanderer took over one mother-ship, and destroyed another, there's still a space ship in earths orbit in the lone wanderers control. Since the Zetan's or whatever we're calling the aliens, will have a home planet, they probably sent that fallout 4 ship to check out why two mother-ships just went quiet. And to it's surprise, got shot down by the human controlled mother ship and went down in boston. That or without the sole survivors knowing, there was another space battle and the lone wanderer won again, and that alien is a survivor.
I'm glad you mentioned a "space battle" because early on in Fallout 4, the museum had murals of a war on the moon or in space among the other major wars the U.S. was historically involved in. A war that players speculate, and TheEpicNate covered in a previous video, had occurred recently, some time "before the bombs dropped".
Just a quick question as I haven’t played fallout 3 but under what circumstances does the lone Wanderer leave the zetan ship. Is it directly under his control? Or does he leave other people in control of it ?
Stacie Meier but why haven’t either of them helped earth in any real way I mean yeah they probably don’t want the ship to fall into the wrong hands but they could’ve done something
Awesome theory, but I always thought of the Aliens as clumsy pilots. Do you think the alien in fallout 3 was a legit crash landing or just a trap for the LW
The Cabot Family storyline is another reference in the series to the works of H.P. Lovecraft. The ancient city being a direct nod to the Nameless City.
I think Deacon was apart of the Enclave. He wants his past kept a secret maybe because he was a covert agent and when they fell due to the lone wanderer and BoS he and others went dark and scrubbed their past. Also I think the reason why the alien crashed in Fallout 4 was due to the LW kicking ass in space with their spaceship.
I swear Nate, you're going to be put in the Guiness Book of World Records for knowing the most facts about a video game franchise if you keep going on like this.
Well I wouldn't say that. I would say he's got a pretty good knowledge in Fallout 4 and Skyrim but in the other games he doesnt know that much (without trying to sound like an arsehole but hell I'm a twat so that isnt gonna go that well)
He forgot to mention that if you have Nick as your companion and the mysterious stranger appears, Nick would react to him appearing and say"there he is again, the mysterious stranger."
Your info on the Stranger is pretty off the mark. 1. The first acknowledgement that he canonically exists in the world came in 3's "Mothership Zeta" DLC, where you get special dialogue if you have the perk. 2. The first acknowledgement by _someone else_ came in New Vegas, with the Lonesome Drifter who obliquely hints that he's the Stranger's son. 3. The fact that the Stranger _has_ a son tells us that he's active in places the player character isn't. My personal theory? The Mysterious Strangers are a group. They have both male and female members, thus explaining Miss Fortune. I'll even guess at their origins. Fallout 76 introduces the Order of Mysteries, which among other things are known to carry powerful .44 revolvers, to be deadly efficient, and to be masters of stealth who can vanish from combat at a moment's notice. By the end of the questline involving them, your player character has full access to their computer systems, samples of all their tech, and the a device that we know from the story of the missions has already been used to make a copy of their data once before. I think it's a reasonable assumption that one of the 76ers canonically found the Order, went through the questline, and set to reviving the group, creating a "New Order of Mysteries" in which members no longer tried to emulate the Mistress of Mysteries, but simply trained to be more generic _Mysterious_ Strangers.
I think you've hit the nail on the head there. If they are a group or an individual their origins can likely be traced by to that radio star and her band of heroes
The Milton Maze is considered to be a eater egg and nod to The SAW franchise. Considering the way the traps are set up and the choices you make. It was Bethesda’s nod to SAW. From what I read anyway, but could still be wrong
Pretty late to this, but it could also be a lose reference to H.H Holmes the serial killer who had a mansion in Chicago that he seemingly made into a maze for his sick desires. Including false rooms and hallways that lead nowhere.
I think the Mysterious Stranger is an organization like the regulators, just more secretive. Would explain his appearance changes and Miss Fortune in NV.
I think Deacon is a synth made by Father to keep an eye on you for whenever he decided to release you from the vault. But he ended up joining the railroad and turning his back on the institute helping to make the railroad what it is while also keeping an eye on you the objective that the head of the institute was so concerned about.
Well deacon is a synth,but not a spy. He confirms when you get to a certain affinity with him and he gives you his recall code. Edit: if he was a synth spy he never would of told you about him being a synth.
@@Sapphiregamer8605He's not a synth. If you look at the paper he gives you, it says something about not trusting everyone, and if you pass a speech check he'll straight up say he lied to you. Plus the fact that he doesn't have a synth component in his inventory
The thing I find most interesting about the Grandchester Mansion is that it’s a clear analogy to the Winchester Mansion, and the stories about it. Yet, in the Fallout universe, Winchester existed as a company, making the plasma caster and a lot of other weapons.
I feel like the mysterious stranger is just like a doctor who, time traveler of the fallout universe helping out the protagonists because they can help the future or something.
3:52 I love the way he loses his shit for that wall behind the door 😂 I remember getting some serious chills in that same situation and the whole house was creepy as hell.
what if the reason he is so secretive is that he barely escaped the SRB once already in fo3 as Harkness and now is extremely secretive because Zimmer who we know from terminals is still alive has a personal vendetta against him and is actively hunting Harkness starting at rivet city and tracing all likely paths
@Peltsi I remember the Lunette companion mod for Fallout NV would ultimately make this conclusion. Making a suggestion of him being a time traveller because of how her VATS showed him as originating from our Pip-boy possibly via coordinates locking. However, this was fandom from a mod though.
Maybe a synth in the institute is working for deacon, that would explain how he knows about the sole survivor, and his knowledge seems consistent with what the institute knows throughout the game.
Also, I think that the Mysterious Stranger is actually an entire series of synths deployed by the Institute to subtly nudge events by protecting/supporting certain individuals whose goals they support (or who happen to have a personal connection at the institute)
Marcus Zyker Nate has no brothers or sister, and his wife is dead. (Nate is the canonical survivor), so his bloodline is his, unless Shaun mated with someone, no. His bloodline is his.
The main quest in the Fusion City Rising mod crowbars that theory into the game with some terminals and notes that also assert that Deacon is the Lone Wanderer, Shaun is James, and the James we interact with in Fallout 3 is a synth duplicate.
Another possibility for The Mysterious Stranger is an imperfect version of the serum used by the Cabbot family. Perhaps it causes him to age slower than the average human? I'm not very familiar with the alien dlc, but the Zetans make another plausible explanation. If that 17th century samurai is still kickin', perhaps The Mysterious Stranger was abducted at some point, but he escaped? Whatever is keeping the samurai young could only be constant while on the ship. Perhaps it left a permanent residual effect on the stranger?
Though i;m sure this has been answered but what happens if you kill Deacon in one of the towns while he's in disguise before you have any contact with The Railroad and meet him properly?
I always assumed since you needed the perk from your pip-boy, that the mysterious stranger was simply another construct created by the ungodly powers of vault- tech's nice watch.
...Theories... 1. The mysterious Stranger is the devil and taking the perk is vault dweller selling their soul 2. Deacon is the player character from Fallout 3 (he will sometimes say "Tunnel Snakes Rule" as a reference to "something he heard once"). 3. The aliens in Fallout are the mutated dwarf population from Skyrim 4. The Gunners where Hired and Supplied By the institute. (they know about blood types and how to test for them [that is what their tattoos are on their forehead], they have extremely high level loot; most notably is the plasma weapons which the institute sells in their store, and finally when they captured that one synth [that the courser is after in the main story] it could have been the Gunners trying to negotiate a better deal for themselves.) 5. Preston is an idiot for living in Sanctuary instead of Vault 111. IT HAS PURIFIED WATER AND BEDS ALREADY, YOU PSYCHOPATH!!!!! 6. Ants can understand crazy people. both the ant-agonizer and the puppet guy from the official fallout comic use ants as allies with little to no effort. ...END OF LIST...
Deacon is Johnny Cage who is accidentaly sent to fallout universe after kronika's death and start making histories in Railroad faction. There, that's my unpopular theory
My first play through in fallout, after I finished a mission I heard the ufo flying by. But I guess nick just HAD to talk to me about our relationship RIGHT THERE and I was never able to find the ufo and I was pretty upset that I couldn’t get the alien blaster, but then later got it from the huboligist in the Nuka World DLC
I have an idea about the Mysterious Stranger: What if the Mysterious Stranger is really a faction that operates around the U.S. by helping out the most “qualified” people around. The faction may be so devoted to their cause that they have stayed operating for all these years. I mean think about it, you need a perk to gain the mysterious stranger’s benefits. By the time you’ve gained a level and got that perk, you should have quite the name for yourself already. Sure, you don’t need to do anything drastic to level up, but these “strangers” could be monitoring you to see if you are the one. And hey, if they aren’t watching you... who knows, it could be Deacon...
Deacon could be Railroad founder John Dee? Could that be ‘John Dee’ as in the famous astrologer, spymaster and magician who served the very first Queen Elizabeth at her court? And who was in contact with supposed Angels...who may well have been the Zetan aliens which the game implies have been watching over earth since at least the 16th century? And that was the same century that Doctor John Dee lived in! We know that Bethesda love to connect their stories to urban myths and things like the Lovecraft tales so this would be right up their street? Incidentally John Dee was the first 007 because that was his spying code name for writing to the Queen, I believe?
As far as the mystery of Deacon, he reminds me of the character of Elam Garak from Deep Space Nine. A former operative with the obsidian order who was exiled and found solace in the embrace of the greatest enemy of his people. He was fond of constructing elaborate and intricate lies as well as simple small lies, as he would say, why tell the truth when a lie will do?
John Dee is a reference to a Scottish Occultist who worked for the queen and travelled around the world with a man who later became Shakepeare and is the reason for the Philosophers Stone being a well known thing. Not for eternal life, mind you, but actually turning lead into gold.
An iteresting note to this would be that certain minerals are in the body and certain type of gold is supposed to have healing properties, I dont know how true that is though.
I went to that weird parking garage wannabe gauntlet too, and there wasn’t shit but traps. No caps in it either, unless you want a carrot and some buffout, you’re their lab rat
Ghosts that appear to be fully alive can be more terrifying. Or, better yet, make them missing from the waiste down or move strangely by frame skipping. Oversized proportions or missing details like not having a face can really sell it. Its the unsettling that creates true fear.
The thing i like about the fallout universe is there are so many other worldly things that go on that completely still feel weird or cool alongside things like giant scorpions, green and yellow mutants, and giant killer lizards. Like ghosts, cryptid creatures, cthulu and eldritch mythos stuff like cults (and probably old gods too), possible time traveling (also the Doctor probably), and of course aliens. I wish they would put more of that stuff in more often.
Yeah I tried to play the mothership zeta DLC but then after going through the prison cells it didn't load. At all. Even when I uninstalled it and installed it again. Fallout 3 10/10 -0- It it just works
I once had a fist fight with Zachariah when I was level 85 and he was still above my level but that fist fight lasted for 20 minutes but I eventually won
[Spoilers] I was hoping for less of a skeptic's approach to the first entry. For the last entry: I found it a bit odd that you didn't mention the Firelance random encounter or the Wild Wasteland encounter with the trio of Zetans, in New Vegas. Nonetheless, I like the video.
I just got the alien encounter and clicked back on this video immediately!!! It was amazing to experience it myself after hearing about it and being fascinated for so long!
Theory: I think deacon was highred by kellog/Institute to watch the sole surviver from the vault and keep track of them because the sole survivor is the "backup"
With tinker toms theory of deacon being a time traveler there could be a chance that he is the mysterious stranger in disguise because he is always secretly following you around
I would love it if, in the next fallout game, the mysterious stranger, when triggered, comes up behind the target and beats them with a cane or walker. Lol
Deacon actually has kept an eye on the sole survivor even before we left the vault, close to vault 111 is a chair and table with some water and a good view over the vaults opening that has a railroad sign. Ah there it came. I really wonders how he knew anyone old come out, maybe from the railroads contact in the Institute? The UFO triggers when you reach level 20. I mostly manage to miss but my followers never misses it. "What was that" they say and I can't reply with "what was what?"
I hope/want you to do another mysteries video,but one of the topics should be about the sole survivor possibly being an Android(The First Android or at least a prototype)
It's been determined already that the lonesome drifter is the mysterious strangers son, there's a video on a youtuber called Oxford that goes into depth on this
I was going through and re-watching a lot of your Fallout videos and let me tell You.... you must be in love with Deacon because you mentioned him, his secrets, his backstory, and so much more about him in almost every Fallout video it's kind of funny 😂 If i didn't know any better I would think that you have a little bit of a crush on deacon 😍😅😍
I like to make backstories for Deacon for each playthrough. One time the idea was that he's from Point Lookout, and an ex-member of the Ark & Dove Cathedral. Another time I explained his lack of details on amnesia. I even used to have a theory that he may have been from the unexplored Ronto mentioned in The Pitt. The idea was that (pre-dlc) we'd get more info from him as part of a DLC, and that we'd either go there in 4 or in the next game. Obviously that didn't pan out, but due to the lack of leeway with backstory for the Sole Survivor Deacon became my pet project for storytelling
I LOVE the Zeta dlc. Feels like it could happen to an extent, but mostly I love the setting, space, fighting the aliens and the multiple sections of the ship

Well fallout new Vegas hints towards the fact he is actually some sort of physical entity as well who also had a child he abandoned.
@@ProperlyGaming I know I just never had that encounter while I played New Vegas
@@ProperlyGaming I just based my theory off of the fact that you need a perk to summon him and how it's been like that for every single game.
@@ProperlyGaming I mean it would have been the craziest thing your pip-boy has been able to do.
Deacon be like.. "Wanna know how I got these scars...?"
Decon kinda reminds me of maynard james keenan, because whenever keenan preforms on stage he wears outfits to somewhat hide his identity.
The grandchester mystery mansion I think is a reference to the California Winchester mansion
Fun fact, the mysterious stranger's revolver is coded to instakill anything regardless of how much health it has
11:22 Deacon is Doctor Who.
12:42 Virgil's hiding places when he escaped institute.
...Theories...
1. The mysterious Stranger is the devil and taking the perk is vault dweller selling their soul
2. Deacon is the player character from Fallout 3 (he will sometimes say "Tunnel Snakes Rule" as a reference to "something he heard once").
3. The aliens in Fallout are the mutated dwarf population from Skyrim
4. The Gunners where Hired and Supplied By the institute. (they know about blood types and how to test for them [that is what their tattoos are on their forehead], they have extremely high level loot; most notably is the plasma weapons which the institute sells in their store, and finally when they captured that one synth [that the courser is after in the main story] it could have been the Gunners trying to negotiate a better deal for themselves.)
5. Preston is an idiot for living in Sanctuary instead of Vault 111. IT HAS PURIFIED WATER AND BEDS ALREADY, YOU PSYCHOPATH!!!!!
6. Ants can understand crazy people. both the ant-agonizer and the puppet guy from the official fallout comic use ants as allies with little to no effort.
...END OF LIST...
"Not exactly a Disney movie"
That made me laugh so hard😂
WOW that Was so FUNNY HAHAHA... No
Deacon is Johnny Cage who is accidentaly sent to fallout universe after kronika's death and start making histories in Railroad faction. There, that's my unpopular theory
The really spooky thing is how Nate comes up with these vids
My first play through in fallout, after I finished a mission I heard the ufo flying by. But I guess nick just HAD to talk to me about our relationship RIGHT THERE and I was never able to find the ufo and I was pretty upset that I couldn’t get the alien blaster, but then later got it from the huboligist in the Nuka World DLC
Mysterious stranger could be a ghost
Heeey prision mike, how's it been going with the soup while showering in your house?
@@pizzatimemanyodabatman3693 shut up
I have an idea about the Mysterious Stranger:
What if the Mysterious Stranger is really a faction that operates around the U.S. by helping out the most “qualified” people around. The faction may be so devoted to their cause that they have stayed operating for all these years. I mean think about it, you need a perk to gain the mysterious stranger’s benefits. By the time you’ve gained a level and got that perk, you should have quite the name for yourself already. Sure, you don’t need to do anything drastic to level up, but these “strangers” could be monitoring you to see if you are the one. And hey, if they aren’t watching you... who knows, it could be Deacon...
Deacon could be Railroad founder John Dee?
Could that be ‘John Dee’ as in the famous astrologer, spymaster and magician who served the very first Queen Elizabeth at her court?
And who was in contact with supposed Angels...who may well have been the Zetan aliens which the game implies have been watching over earth since at least the 16th century?
And that was the same century that Doctor John Dee lived in!
We know that Bethesda love to connect their stories to urban myths and things like the Lovecraft tales so this would be right up their street?
Incidentally John Dee was the first 007 because that was his spying code name for writing to the Queen, I believe?
As far as the mystery of Deacon, he reminds me of the character of Elam Garak from Deep Space Nine. A former operative with the obsidian order who was exiled and found solace in the embrace of the greatest enemy of his people. He was fond of constructing elaborate and intricate lies as well as simple small lies, as he would say, why tell the truth when a lie will do?
When you're in the glowing sea and you see something move😓
Fun fact: by the time of Fallout 4, The Radiation levels should be near gone. So in 10 years or more the rads should be gone by now
I remember when you were barely at 200k. You grew up so fast! On the road to 1 million!
John Dee is a reference to a Scottish Occultist who worked for the queen and travelled around the world with a man who later became Shakepeare and is the reason for the Philosophers Stone being a well known thing.
Not for eternal life, mind you, but actually turning lead into gold.
An iteresting note to this would be that certain minerals are in the body and certain type of gold is supposed to have healing properties, I dont know how true that is though.
The mysterious stranger is stream sniping enemies
I went to that weird parking garage wannabe gauntlet too, and there wasn’t shit but traps. No caps in it either, unless you want a carrot and some buffout, you’re their lab rat
Am I the only one disappointed they didn't use the blue "Ghost" effect any supposed ghost characters in the game?
Ghosts that appear to be fully alive can be more terrifying. Or, better yet, make them missing from the waiste down or move strangely by frame skipping. Oversized proportions or missing details like not having a face can really sell it. Its the unsettling that creates true fear.
The thing i like about the fallout universe is there are so many other worldly things that go on that completely still feel weird or cool alongside things like giant scorpions, green and yellow mutants, and giant killer lizards.
Like ghosts, cryptid creatures, cthulu and eldritch mythos stuff like cults (and probably old gods too), possible time traveling (also the Doctor probably), and of course aliens.
I wish they would put more of that stuff in more often.
Yeah I tried to play the mothership zeta DLC but then after going through the prison cells it didn't load. At all. Even when I uninstalled it and installed it again.
Fallout 3
10/10 -0-
It it just works
On Xbox load it up and hold belive y or a until the home screen comes on pc go into steam and clear the cache or something just Google it
fallout 3 and newer PCs doesn't go well
I love this video it actually kept me very interested and wanting to know more please make a part two or elaborate on more of these mysteries.
Love fallout 4! I always Enjoy your videos, keep it up!
Dcard Dcardian, I don’t exactly like the story, but I really enjoyed the large map and many different NPC’s. This is just my opinion tough.
@Dcard Dcardian The plot was shit...I try to ignore it most of the time...
@Dcard Dcardian You didn't play the game.One question HAVE YOU GOT THE TRUE ENDING.
@@ajhiep4447 True ending?
the mysterious stranger is just preston garvey coming with you to look for settlements in need
7:50 “Fallout 1”
*Shows screenshot of Fallout 2*
Austin Obenshain it was fallout 2
Wha- Nate said fallout 1 while should a fallout 2 screenshot so why.. why?
Clementine Protecter it just works
This game is hella fun! Keep making videos, especially videos with mods, as lots of viewers have completed the main playthrough. Nice vid as usual 👍🏽
I once had a fist fight with Zachariah when I was level 85 and he was still above my level but that fist fight lasted for 20 minutes but I eventually won
Lscott 2002 lol
I think it was mama Murphy who saw the sole survivor come out of vault 111. she even says that she saw him come out of that ice Box
[Spoilers]
I was hoping for less of a skeptic's approach to the first entry.
For the last entry: I found it a bit odd that you didn't mention the Firelance random encounter or the Wild Wasteland encounter with the trio of Zetans, in New Vegas.
Nonetheless, I like the video.
I just got the alien encounter and clicked back on this video immediately!!! It was amazing to experience it myself after hearing about it and being fascinated for so long!
The first one is legitimately terrifying
I love how he blasts the absolute crap out of that closet during the Granchester family
Theory: I think deacon was highred by kellog/Institute to watch the sole surviver from the vault and keep track of them because the sole survivor is the "backup"
With tinker toms theory of deacon being a time traveler there could be a chance that he is the mysterious stranger in disguise because he is always secretly following you around
What about the terminal in the Cabot house that mentioned Decon in like year 2088
I would love it if, in the next fallout game, the mysterious stranger, when triggered, comes up behind the target and beats them with a cane or walker. Lol
Guess the Aliens don't follow the Prime Directive
Because the Prime Directive is for fools.
it is not logical
Deacon actually has kept an eye on the sole survivor even before we left the vault, close to vault 111 is a chair and table with some water and a good view over the vaults opening that has a railroad sign. Ah there it came. I really wonders how he knew anyone old come out, maybe from the railroads contact in the Institute?
The UFO triggers when you reach level 20. I mostly manage to miss but my followers never misses it.
"What was that" they say and I can't reply with "what was what?"
Hey its nate here, ginormous (insert various synonyms for large).
I suggest doing a play through where the very first thing you do from the vault is head to the Railroad. Deacon’s dialogue changes.
Wow that maze is named after me but I don't remember making it🤔
just blame everything on deacon. aliens? deacon alias. mysterious stranger? deacon. spooky ghost girl? yep, you guessed it, deacon.
Mysterious Stranger is actually just fallout protagonist's Stand.
thank you for digging into this stuff, it's so fascinating!
I hope/want you to do another mysteries video,but one of the topics should be about the sole survivor possibly being an Android(The First Android or at least a prototype)
3 in luck, trying to find the courser, AND GUESS WHO DECIDES TO FALL OUT OF THE SKY
Maybe the mystery stranger is nick valentine the real one
hes been using cabots blood
I don’t know why you’d want deacon as a follower or essentially disciple of the sole survivor.
Two different places in goodneighbor that deacon shows up.
It's been determined already that the lonesome drifter is the mysterious strangers son, there's a video on a youtuber called Oxford that goes into depth on this
Decan is agent 47
I was going through and re-watching a lot of your Fallout videos and let me tell You.... you must be in love with Deacon because you mentioned him, his secrets, his backstory, and so much more about him in almost every Fallout video it's kind of funny 😂 If i didn't know any better I would think that you have a little bit of a crush on deacon 😍😅😍
Biggest unsolved mystery...
Why Isn't Nate The Most Subscribed TH-cam Channel?
Because he has an annoying voice. He sounds like a family character that pronounces everything trough his nose
No it wasn't
Jerks
Supernatural It can't be that annoying to you if you are in the comments section
@@Rudeljaeger And your comment is annoying, it makes you look immature to take the time to really reflect on his voice.
I like to make backstories for Deacon for each playthrough. One time the idea was that he's from Point Lookout, and an ex-member of the Ark & Dove Cathedral. Another time I explained his lack of details on amnesia. I even used to have a theory that he may have been from the unexplored Ronto mentioned in The Pitt. The idea was that (pre-dlc) we'd get more info from him as part of a DLC, and that we'd either go there in 4 or in the next game. Obviously that didn't pan out, but due to the lack of leeway with backstory for the Sole Survivor Deacon became my pet project for storytelling
D8de I was drunk while watching this god bless Todd and hate never reach the epic Nate
Well said :')
Speech 100
Well said, have another.
I LOVE the Zeta dlc. Feels like it could happen to an extent, but mostly I love the setting, space, fighting the aliens and the multiple sections of the ship
Doesn't the Mysterious Stranger have a son?
Indeeer, he's the lonesome drifter because he gives you the Mysterious magnum
Every time he does a episode about fall out, it will be about the Nukaworld dlc
