Out of all the apocalyptical professions available in Fallout 76, I feel like the one where you get high on neurotoxic moth dust and study a wise bug...might be the better pick
The Wise Mothman is trying to protect humanity from Ug Qualtoth i think. Marlon says the voices he hears are always appeased after communing with the Wise Mothman, those same voices sound a lot like the ones the raider Hugo in the quarry heard back in F4... That was Ug Qualtoth and he eventually convinces Hugo to end himself after he's no longer useful. The Wise Mothman saved people from "the flood" aka the nukes. And We know Ug Qualtoth is connected to radiation given his influence over ghouls, the radiation emanating from his obelisk, radiation surrounding the sleeping giant in F4, and mini nukes at his altar... I like the idea of a cute highly intelligent moth beefing with Lovecraftian horrors. 👀
@@falloutboiden6271 The obelisk of Ug Qualtoth underneath Dunwich in f3 turned jamie and his father into ghouls plus it also attracts feral ghouls, they surround the obelisk worshiping it. Pre war, Ug Qualtoth led Constance, the owner of Dunwich to the quarry there she found the body of a sleeping giant, she was supposed to free this creature, she turned Dunwich into a mining business in an attempt to do so. The sleeping giant is a giant metal "statue" underneath the quarry in F4, it's breathing continuously shakes the earth, he's also surrounded by ghouls and radiation. The voices Hugo hears come from the sleeping giant.
The Wise mothman opposes eldritch forces... Although it seems more like they are more aimed at stopping the Interloper. Vengeful mothman serves the interloper instead.
I just built a nice room dedicated to the wise mothman in one of my vaults with a mothman power armor and everything still need a couple things to complete the room but im quite happy with it 😊
The cryptids (and especially Mothman) is the actual reason I play 76 and why I got into fallout. So it's definitely gonna be amazing if they give more attention to them in future updates. I'm enjoying the Rip Daring season, and hopefully I'll clear that scoreboard this week :D
Really great lore exploration. As a side note, recently a Mothman (not sure which kind) got inside a large camp structure of mine and with one blast destroyed everything in the room!
Nothing spookier than wandering down the street, freshly new to the game, taking a turn down a broken road towards an ever increasing amount of eerie looking trees at night only to see a couple spotlights nestled in between trees and upon getting closer realize its a monster.
Well I think, much like with the aliens in the fallout universe, the moth man was something that existed before the great war and without humans hunting it for a long time, it was able to procreate and even involve due to radiation
I remember when I first started playing 76 on launch, I encountered a Wise Mothman in a random encounter. It was hostile, so I had to kill it though. I know that encounter has since been removed from the game, but encountering the thing at level 2, fresh out of the vault, got me interested in the Cryptids of 76. Still obsessed with them and their lore to this day. “Rip Daring and the Cryptid Hunt” has been my favorite season so far because of this. Can’t wait to learn the lore of the Blue Devil and Ogua once they’re added! Good video as always, Friend!
Oh that’s awesome you got to see that! Ended up being removed before I had a chance too. Cryptids are probably my favourite thing in 76! Appreciate you checking the video mate 😁
In the vault used for daily ops, the one full of ice from damaged cryo units, there are tubes with giant cocoons/chrysalids. Think that vault was mutating the stock of animal subjects it was supposed to preserving.
Correct! Those are called experiment tubes. The only conflicting bit of evidence would be the timeline - the first sightings of the Mothman were pre-war but the team in Vault 96 entered after the bombs dropped. With specific instructions not to introduce any species or mutations outside the Vault. They would later escape though. Not sure what they will end up doing with it, but they really do look like chrysalis pods so there might be a connection!
@Uranium Fever but we do also know that the mothman cukt was prewar, and there is a secret cryotube we can't access while exploring that vault which has a "special" occupant that has properties that don't follow known laws of physics. I've always been of the opinion that it was a flatwoods monster, but with the knowledge that the mothmen can teleport in combat, aren't normal and never have been normal, and that the experiment pods visually look like mothman cocoons it is at least a possibility that there is a connection.
You forgot to Mention his eggs are Extremely Delicious! Mothman may be known for their Seemingly Supernatural Abilities, but their is absolutely nothing Supernatural about how delicious Mothman Eggs are! A Mothman Egg Omelette is a Complete, Nutritious, & Well-Balanced Breakfast! Fun for the whole Family! And if the Eggs Hatch you have a Brand new member for the Family, better hope you locked the Wardrobe! Mothman Eggs, the Meal of Tomorrow!
Living life in the Wasteland by getting high off moth dust and getting smarter by being enligtened by Mothman, I know what I'm doing if the apocalypse happens
This is a really good take on the mothman. I didn't know much of the in-game mothman and didn't know much of the connection to the interloper and this video, damn... So awesome 😎
Talked to the new ally today about all his Mothman theories/beliefs. What I've never got is it's a Moth-man yet it lays eggs? Wouldn't be a Moth-woman??? or some other name?
Haha Steven Scarberry actually has an idle line about that. "There's a Mothman... I wonder if there's a Mothwoman? Another question for Him... or Her."
I'd love to see Mothmen return in a future game, with maybe a splinter group of the Children of Atom serving as their cult or mixing with a pre-existing one
Hold up the purple eyed Mothman are supposed to be friendly and Wise... Then why was I attacked by one.... And wasn't very wise to attack a man in power armor if I say so myself.
I have a picture also. The purple mothman attacked me and i killed it. But this one did not turn to dust. This was well before Wastelanders and I encountered it between Camp McClintock and Wade airport.
I'm sure that the interloper is more connected to the migo. In that case the jars would be brain jars for transporting brains to Pluto. I don't think they were worshipped in the story but fallout is its own thing so the change is possible.
They only spawn in daily ops which is a shame! Well and the Mothman Equinox event which is coming back end of this month. As long as you collect perfect eggs they will spawn instead!
@@UraniumFever76 Exactly! This game started out with the entire internet hating it, but it’s come a long way, and it’d be cool to see how it’s developed
There is a thirth way to encounter the wise mothman. I actuely once encounterd it while touring around in I think it was the savages divide near the bottom of the map. I could even somehow kill it and it was non hostile thourghes me. It spawn at level one and diden't give his blessing, but it was the wise one the name ontop confurmed that. This was before wastelanders however sow it could have bin a glitch.
That's right! There used to be a wise mothman random encounter but they removed it around the time of Wastelanders I think? That's cool you got to see it! I never did actually.
This "Mothman" looks nothing like a man, however i think this adds to Fallouts over arching "eldritch horror" theme. Dunwhich borers from FO3 (and i suppose a cameo in FO4) the interloper in lucky hole mine (a tree that bleeds surrounded by those art deco faces)
Only one time , I was wandering over weight with about 1800 lbs. for the first year no fast travel and pre first and tent , did I catch 2 red eyed mothmen facing each other communicating . It was to the most extreme NE mountain range just past the Corvega ring with a behemoth now just scorched (Cadalac homage in American desert ) there is a big long battle experience I will save you but only early on was there some of the extreme experiences and I miss them on my solo wandering exploring . What great fun .
is the interloper some eldritch horror? at this point they might as well be, man i wonder if there will be a secret boss fight that involves the interloper.
@@UraniumFever76 i know and i think at least from a game design perspective they reused parts of the mirelurks, because if you have allready a more leged model with animation capabilities why start from scratch. It would explain why mothy has such a round head and this weird not the slightest insect like wings, they don't fold under a protective part they just wrap around it's body like arms. Given the state of which 76 started i think reused and recycled assets/creatures are very likely. *deaws tinfoil hat*
@@UraniumFever76 absolutely i mean they did the 2.&3. Deathclaw in FO4 (Gulper, Gatorclaws) for FO76 they added the Sheepsquatch. They all have similar frames and the Gulpers are still coded partly as Deathclaws because they have a low change of dropping their claws. After moonshine i often have 3-5 in my inventory. So curious will the devil drop Sheepsquatch pelts and Deathclaw claws?
Bethesda been focusing alot on all the supernatural stuff in 76 lately. Between all the cryptids, Aliens, Mysterious otherworldly beings. What they up to rn? what they about to reveal?🤨🤨
Yeah man I've been waiting for equinox to come back so i can get proper footage haha they are all nuts. Really presents them like the 'good' friendly faction too!
I was honestly really hoping for both Cults to have a reputation system kinda like we have for Foundation and Crater. It'd be so cool to be able to delve more into them even if just from an RP standpoint.
I built my first character around the mothman cult and all my camps have been around some place with some relation to the wise mothman, currently situated in the area point pleasant
I’m not a huge fan of Fallout’s take on Mothman. He’s supposed to be half man, half moth.. in 76, he’s basically just a giant, supernatural moth. Btw, I grew up and still live only 45 minutes from Point Pleasant irl. I’ve been there a few times and have seen the real statue of him.
I’ve never been there but I was watching a documentary about mothman on history channel and they showed a drone fly by of point pleasant and I instantly recognized it from the game,granted it’s bigger in real life but the layout of buildings and stuff looked roughly the same
It would be nice to get a mission where perhaps radiation mixes a human with a mothman and becomes what looks like the classic mothman. Or they could show the king mothman or queen mothman or something and they’ll look perhaps like the classic. Also now that Indrid Cold is in the game and in real life he was seen by people in the town at the same time as the mothman I could see a quest connecting them together.
Very interesting! Red might be my fav color, but I root and praise the Purple mothman and also the wild Orange mothman. The Yellow are young, the Red are fanatic and... may there be Blue mothmen too, what aspect do they orefer I wonder? Seriously orange and purple ( yellow too kinda ) is so thematically underused and left out in merch, media, classes in video/ tabletop games. In favor of the RedBlueGreen digital primary colors. The natural pigment Red🔴Yellow🟡Blue🔵 and their mixing, bringing forth the "children" of Orange🟠Purple🟣Green🟢 makes more cohesive sense. Blue mothmen would be cool to see, and the children could stay unique by letting them all have yellow eyes. All six main colors present in some form, rejoice!
I think Mothman is a dimension jumper. That's why they both appear in our timeline and in Fallouts. Plus you literally see them "jump" in a puff of smoke.
Yo, these things are so cool and badass! I just randomly stumbled upon this video, and I never even knew these things existed. I bought Fallout 76 on release, played it for about 10 hours, and then never picked it up again...
When I first started the game I ran into a mothman just sitting there and I walked up to it and it didn't try to kill so I just walked away I'm surprised it didn't kill me
I think the moth man is an FEV infected moth. Still, I have no idea about The Interloper and The Visitor. There must be a connection with the Zetans somehow.
Funny how there's been many creepy pastas surrounding the idea of a Moth man, Ik there is one where you can summon him and he'll answer any question you ask him, but its recommended you dont ask more than 3, and how you cannot mock or insult him. Another I believe it was also another mothman where it goes to a man in a forest, forcing the man to bring children to the mothman for it to Eat. After it was done or the man ran out of them, eventually the "Seed Eater" ate him as well, and afterwards theres other rumors that follow soon after it, My knowledge on the seed eater side though is limited since its been a while when I last read it
If i saw this when i was 10 years old i would freak tf out! i made a project in 4th grade about Point Pleasant, West Virginia where the original mothman is from. I was real into cryptids as a kid (thinking they were real LOL) . and i used to play a ton of fallout 3 aswell so seeing them both wouldve blown my mind.
Wow I never knew about Wallace. I do like the idea that the Mothman was a man made creation. Maybe Wallace did have some influence on the birth of the mothman. Maybe created as a government surveillance project?
First time I got back onto FO76 after awhile they'd just added mothman and I was just building my house when a stalking mothman appeared out of nowhere and scared the ever living shit out of me before disappearing again
May I ask what music you used in this video precisely? 👀 Just looking up Epidemic Sound didn't show anything 😭 Great video!!!!!!!! Loved every second of it!
I should update that lol I used most game soundtracks for this one. The video opens with a track called ‘Midnight Aristocracy’ from Warhammer Total War. Generally all the others are tracks from Fallout 76!
Is sample x001 possibly a mothman? They def seem to be able to ‘shift’ and honestly I always got the impression that the moth men are a pre war species from all the lore we have
Either way it should've never been given such a crappy event in its name. The equinox this month has served only to cancel out the mutation events.. which is tragic as there isn't anything worth getting from the event. Cool concept, tragic execution.
Ive not yet seen your channel before, but im always open to more fallout content (even if its the game that hath no name) simply curious though, whats your take on 76 and canonicity? Because if 76 IS indeed canon then there are indeed eldritch and possibly supernatural entities like our mothy boi, potentially a dunwhich horror, and the CoA are seemingly blessed by some form of entity, wether it is indeed Atom or something that accepts the misguided praise is a mystery. Sorry for a ramble but i live in the wasteland at this point. Hope ya dont mind my mad ramblings in future video comments!
Hey thanks for checking the video bud! Oh man what a question… topical too as I’m working on something else that’s heavily related to that question. In short it’s very problematic I think.. 76 has some of the most overpowered things in the series. Ultracite as a power source, the Flatwoods monster and of course all these unique species. How it’s all going to line up in terms of a timeline with the other games is unclear currently. I think it’s canon to a point but something big will happen that explains why we don’t see a lot of these things in future games. Not at all I love seeing theories, and welcome any thoughts you have on future videos!
@@UraniumFever76 the only theory ive seen that i personally use as an excuse to play it, is that the appalachian wasteland is a vault tec simulation designed to give a possible look into what the wasteland may offer based on knowledge given by various companies/entities, posiedon, enclave, robco and general atomics, so its not the wasteland we get but a pre war projection OF the post war landscape. Hard to explain in text but it can account for the amount of small discrepencies but could be used in latter mainstream games for different companies or such, just slightly altered to fit the canon. Thats my hope anyways. Im also very interested in the pre war monument and architecture possibly related to zetan, (or dwemer ill die on this hill), or seperate civilization cabot found. I checked your post but didnt see a date, any timeframe for that? Dont mean to be nosy!
@@spacewhale5919 Got a video planned on that too bud lol Virtual Strategic Solutions could be behind it! I personally think there is some evidence to suggest it could end up being something like that. So the Ancient Minds video is a really big one (I'm using some mods from Fallout 4) and getting shots from the other games, so I think it could be two weeks or so. Planning to have some smaller lore videos out in the meantime. Will definitely update once its ready to go though!
Wish a lot of these faction were joinable in the games, it’s like Bethesda always creates these bad ass factions with cool stories just to make them not playable. Would love to join the cult of the moth man or the gunners, or the Rustdevils from fallout 4 etc. They should really add more story gameplay to these factions.
I theorize that the purple eyed mothman is being corrupted by the Flatwoods monster/the zeta. (I commented this before getting to the end of the video.😂 good to know my thought process was on track)
I play these games and wonder how the hell someone keeps their skin so nice and clear! I'm already a crater-face and those damn nukes wont help unless I'm a ghoul!
I was one of the few who beta tested 76. Seeing a Wendigo chase you across the map were good times till people broke the mutations and started spam killing
I'll laugh if this "Interloper" turns out to be a mutated version of the real world Creatonotos Gangis, which is a moth with tentacles... Thus giving us a 5th Variant of the Mothman (like how they keep rereleasing Skyrim XD)
In real life lore, people believed that the Mothman was a premonition to the December 1967 collapse of the Silver Bridge in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, which killed 46 people, becoming the deadliest bridge collapse in US history.
I am hoping for a mothman theme update where we get the ability to nuke the interloper and fight it. I have wanted to fight it for over a year now. I am sure others are itching to kill the cosmic horror.
Out of all the apocalyptical professions available in Fallout 76, I feel like the one where you get high on neurotoxic moth dust and study a wise bug...might be the better pick

Bethesda been focusing alot on all the supernatural stuff in 76 lately. Between all the cryptids, Aliens, Mysterious otherworldly beings. What they up to rn? what they about to reveal?🤨🤨
Yeah Fallout 76 is really in to that to be honest. I hope it leads to something!
Nothing. Bethesda never should have made FO4 much less 76.
With the news and images of the map expansion I wonder if the Light they refer to is that red sky beam in the preview art...
that's what I'm thinking too
Entertaining, informative and captivating. Thanks from Panama city Beach, FL
Appreciate that mate! Thanks for checking the video 😊
See, this is why we need to gather as many mini nukes as we can and seal up Lucky Hole Mine for good.
Put a lot of Purple Eyes around the Interloper.
Preach. How has it taken this long haha that thing should stay buried!
Ngl id really love to have a mothman test tube cuz ive been trying to make a enclave camp like stuying the mothman if thats makes sense🤔🤔
Mothman tube would be awesome! I would imagine it's only a matter of time before it's added.
Am I the only one that thinks the Mothmen are kinda cute
Cute/gross if you have your sound on..
I need to talk to these supporting characters. I am not familiar with this dialogue. This is all so cool.
Yeah man I've been waiting for equinox to come back so i can get proper footage haha they are all nuts. Really presents them like the 'good' friendly faction too!
Absolutely epic brother!!! I can't wait for more like this!!! 😎😎
Cheers buddy! Plenty more on the way!
@@UraniumFever76 one word ADDICTED!!!! 😁😁😁😁
Oooh, nice one mate!
Thank you matey!
I wish we could have one as a pet or let us join the cult
I was honestly really hoping for both Cults to have a reputation system kinda like we have for Foundation and Crater. It'd be so cool to be able to delve more into them even if just from an RP standpoint.
Great idea!
I built my first character around the mothman cult and all my camps have been around some place with some relation to the wise mothman, currently situated in the area point pleasant
I’m not a huge fan of Fallout’s take on Mothman. He’s supposed to be half man, half moth.. in 76, he’s basically just a giant, supernatural moth. Btw, I grew up and still live only 45 minutes from Point Pleasant irl. I’ve been there a few times and have seen the real statue of him.
He’s so pudgy and adorable..you leave mothman alone lol
That’s awesome Darth! Would love to see it for myself. It’s a very different take for sure!
I’ve never been there but I was watching a documentary about mothman on history channel and they showed a drone fly by of point pleasant and I instantly recognized it from the game,granted it’s bigger in real life but the layout of buildings and stuff looked roughly the same
I can see how youd have this opinion. I don't share it, but I understand it.
It would be nice to get a mission where perhaps radiation mixes a human with a mothman and becomes what looks like the classic mothman.
Or they could show the king mothman or queen mothman or something and they’ll look perhaps like the classic.
Also now that Indrid Cold is in the game and in real life he was seen by people in the town at the same time as the mothman I could see a quest connecting them together.
whats the name of the one in 0:29 with the spaghetti like arms or something the one in the cave
Never had an issue with them, the red ones like to give me beans though for some reason.
Very interesting! Red might be my fav color, but I root and praise the Purple mothman and also the wild Orange mothman. The Yellow are young, the Red are fanatic and... may there be Blue mothmen too, what aspect do they orefer I wonder? Seriously orange and purple ( yellow too kinda ) is so thematically underused and left out in merch, media, classes in video/ tabletop games. In favor of the RedBlueGreen digital primary colors. The natural pigment Red🔴Yellow🟡Blue🔵 and their mixing, bringing forth the "children" of Orange🟠Purple🟣Green🟢 makes more cohesive sense. Blue mothmen would be cool to see, and the children could stay unique by letting them all have yellow eyes. All six main colors present in some form, rejoice!
The Purple one is definitely the friendliest currently! A blue one would be really cool. Rejoice brother!
But most importantly: will we ever be able to tame one and have a big floofy pet mothman?
I think Mothman is a dimension jumper. That's why they both appear in our timeline and in Fallouts. Plus you literally see them "jump" in a puff of smoke.
I'm struggling with my scavenger Ally so Ive been trying to search for other allies and I hope I can find new allies with this new update
Steven scarberry is an ally from the scoreboard!
Yo, these things are so cool and badass! I just randomly stumbled upon this video, and I never even knew these things existed. I bought Fallout 76 on release, played it for about 10 hours, and then never picked it up again...
08:17 But in this possible future combat encounter...could we sacrifice him instead?
4:45 Is that a God damned Vincent Price impersonator
When I first started the game I ran into a mothman just sitting there and I walked up to it and it didn't try to kill so I just walked away I'm surprised it didn't kill me
I think the moth man is an FEV infected moth. Still, I have no idea about The Interloper and The Visitor. There must be a connection with the Zetans somehow.
Starting the video, and ur voice is perfect
Thanks! Steven scarberry says the first line though haha
This is some good content! Solid script, loved the clips and enjoyed the themes you brought up.
Funny how there's been many creepy pastas surrounding the idea of a Moth man, Ik there is one where you can summon him and he'll answer any question you ask him, but its recommended you dont ask more than 3, and how you cannot mock or insult him. Another I believe it was also another mothman where it goes to a man in a forest, forcing the man to bring children to the mothman for it to Eat. After it was done or the man ran out of them, eventually the "Seed Eater" ate him as well, and afterwards theres other rumors that follow soon after it, My knowledge on the seed eater side though is limited since its been a while when I last read it
If i saw this when i was 10 years old i would freak tf out! i made a project in 4th grade about Point Pleasant, West Virginia where the original mothman is from. I was real into cryptids as a kid (thinking they were real LOL) . and i used to play a ton of fallout 3 aswell so seeing them both wouldve blown my mind.
Good one dude🍻
Thanks Pat 🍻 appreciate you checking the video mate!
Wow I never knew about Wallace. I do like the idea that the Mothman was a man made creation. Maybe Wallace did have some influence on the birth of the mothman. Maybe created as a government surveillance project?
Yeah they really tease whatever he wrote a lot! Would be a shame if it ends up being nothing!
Mothman straight up looks like the Hash Slinging Slasher 😂😂😂😂
First time I got back onto FO76 after awhile they'd just added mothman and I was just building my house when a stalking mothman appeared out of nowhere and scared the ever living shit out of me before disappearing again
Is it just me, or does anyone else have a sudden urge to dress in mothman cultist gear and kill other players in fallout?
May I ask what music you used in this video precisely? 👀 Just looking up Epidemic Sound didn't show anything 😭 Great video!!!!!!!! Loved every second of it!
I should update that lol I used most game soundtracks for this one. The video opens with a track called ‘Midnight Aristocracy’ from Warhammer Total War. Generally all the others are tracks from Fallout 76!
@@UraniumFever76 Ah nice! Thx! Keep up the FANTASTIC work! 😄
does anyone else get reminded of the Radiance from Hollow Knight when listening to the mothman cultists unhinged ramblings?
Yay just in time for Mothman Equinox my first so yeah excited 💪
Yes me too! I need to get footage from it this time!
I built a church underneath a mothman spawn next to a cultist base. It's pretty great when the mothman is perched above the altar.
you forgot ab the third event to meet him the random encounter
They removed it after Wastelanders!
I bough a baby mothman plushie from Squishable. He enjoyed you video.
That’s great haha! Thanks for checking it out! 😊
Is sample x001 possibly a mothman? They def seem to be able to ‘shift’ and honestly I always got the impression that the moth men are a pre war species from all the lore we have
my Fallout76 character is totally one of the cultists that pray to the wise mothman he's so freaking cute 🎉
Oh that's really cool! I wish we could join one of the cults as a faction!
@@UraniumFever76 100% id love to be able to do like a daily mission for them like killing the red eyed lier or gathering eggs
Either way it should've never been given such a crappy event in its name.
The equinox this month has served only to cancel out the mutation events.. which is tragic as there isn't anything worth getting from the event.
Cool concept, tragic execution.
Ive not yet seen your channel before, but im always open to more fallout content (even if its the game that hath no name) simply curious though, whats your take on 76 and canonicity? Because if 76 IS indeed canon then there are indeed eldritch and possibly supernatural entities like our mothy boi, potentially a dunwhich horror, and the CoA are seemingly blessed by some form of entity, wether it is indeed Atom or something that accepts the misguided praise is a mystery. Sorry for a ramble but i live in the wasteland at this point. Hope ya dont mind my mad ramblings in future video comments!
Hey thanks for checking the video bud! Oh man what a question… topical too as I’m working on something else that’s heavily related to that question. In short it’s very problematic I think.. 76 has some of the most overpowered things in the series. Ultracite as a power source, the Flatwoods monster and of course all these unique species. How it’s all going to line up in terms of a timeline with the other games is unclear currently. I think it’s canon to a point but something big will happen that explains why we don’t see a lot of these things in future games. Not at all I love seeing theories, and welcome any thoughts you have on future videos!
@@UraniumFever76 the only theory ive seen that i personally use as an excuse to play it, is that the appalachian wasteland is a vault tec simulation designed to give a possible look into what the wasteland may offer based on knowledge given by various companies/entities, posiedon, enclave, robco and general atomics, so its not the wasteland we get but a pre war projection OF the post war landscape. Hard to explain in text but it can account for the amount of small discrepencies but could be used in latter mainstream games for different companies or such, just slightly altered to fit the canon. Thats my hope anyways. Im also very interested in the pre war monument and architecture possibly related to zetan, (or dwemer ill die on this hill), or seperate civilization cabot found. I checked your post but didnt see a date, any timeframe for that? Dont mean to be nosy!
@@spacewhale5919 Got a video planned on that too bud lol Virtual Strategic Solutions could be behind it! I personally think there is some evidence to suggest it could end up being something like that. So the Ancient Minds video is a really big one (I'm using some mods from Fallout 4) and getting shots from the other games, so I think it could be two weeks or so. Planning to have some smaller lore videos out in the meantime. Will definitely update once its ready to go though!
As a member of the Mothman cult I can confirm we make oils out of Mothman eggs
Wish a lot of these faction were joinable in the games, it’s like Bethesda always creates these bad ass factions with cool stories just to make them not playable. Would love to join the cult of the moth man or the gunners, or the Rustdevils from fallout 4 etc. They should really add more story gameplay to these factions.
I theorize that the purple eyed mothman is being corrupted by the Flatwoods monster/the zeta. (I commented this before getting to the end of the video.😂 good to know my thought process was on track)
PRAISE BE THIS HOLY MOTHMAN
does anyone know the location @ 2:04 i wanna stop by
That is Johnson's Acre! It's a Cultist Camp in the South of the map. Right at the bottom actually in the Savage Divide Region.
@@UraniumFever76 ty ty much obliged
I play these games and wonder how the hell someone keeps their skin so nice and clear! I'm already a crater-face and those damn nukes wont help unless I'm a ghoul!
I was one of the few who beta tested 76. Seeing a Wendigo chase you across the map were good times till people broke the mutations and started spam killing
Whatever Mothmen are, I'm dating several of them
Haha that's quite impressive!
I love moth man IRL and I always try to take pictures of him in the wild I have some that put the devs to shame for the loading screen
Steven is Indrid Cold. Voice is the same.
They are the same actor!!
Ur audio is much higher quality than most.
Thank you! Appreciate that.
Why not both?
irradiated moth
Do you think its just radiation though?
@@UraniumFever76 probably slurped up some of that good ol' Huntersville tap water
Recently i was attacked by the mothman Stalking one with Red eyes was an interesting fight
I'll laugh if this "Interloper" turns out to be a mutated version of the real world Creatonotos Gangis, which is a moth with tentacles...
Thus giving us a 5th Variant of the Mothman (like how they keep rereleasing Skyrim XD)
Monster or Alien ? No idea, i just keep shooting them until they stop moving, then i keep shooting just to be sure
In real life lore, people believed that the Mothman was a premonition to the December 1967 collapse of the Silver Bridge in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, which killed 46 people, becoming the deadliest bridge collapse in US history.
charles got that eighthead
The intro speaker is the same voice actor as happy chaos in guilty gear, almost did a fucking spit-take apon hearing that
I dont play Fallout or even really like it. But i bought the Mothman Pop Vinyl because he is awesome.
that the extra fun of fallout when the line between if something here because of the radiation/mutations or by something else entirely
Yeah I like that there's a bit of mystery to it!
Are there in lore multiple Mothmen, or just one that changes it emotion?
I am hoping for a mothman theme update where we get the ability to nuke the interloper and fight it. I have wanted to fight it for over a year now. I am sure others are itching to kill the cosmic horror.
Imagine if the game secretly tracked if you've ever collected, sold, or ate mothman eggs...
