If Jenkins had been hit by a pistol shrimp that size, he’d literally be a bag of liquid inside his skin. Mantis shrimp punches are so fast, it super heats the water in front of them. Without power armour, he’d be a stain on the rocks.
Part of what makes the pistol/mantis shrimps punch so powerful to superheat the water is all the weight of the ocean pressing down on the void created by the punch. Air is far less dense than water, thus there is far less weight, so it's more akin to getting hit with a supersonic round AND its mach cone. Still would hurt, and yeah, without Power armor would still be a stain, albeit a more intact one.

Spiders, arachnids, all choosing Texas of all places and the two states on either side. Reason: Rare events called "megawebs" have been known to happen in Texas after very heavy rains, not unlike what Austin has experienced in recent weeks. The temporary phenomenon involves hundreds of thousands of spiders living together in a giant spider web stretching across multiple trees. Might as well have JRR Tolkein inspired spiders as well, Ugoliath is the size of City Bus.

That's just how Bethesda works.They make excuses for why they didn't do anything,when literally doing something would have been better than nothing at all.Its either 100% the way some random dude thinks it up to be,or NOTHING.
What about a spider/deathclaw/nightstalker hybrid creature? (it could also have a glowing variant) It'd be a Spider, but also have aspects of a Deathclaw such as the claws, horns, and scaley armored hide, then add the camo abilites of the nightstalker from New Vegas. I imagine it'd be about the size of a car, and be REALLY aggressive and deal a lot of poision damage quickly. The normal one could be based on either a Tarantula or Black Widow, but also have a trapdoor variant that waits for you to come to it rather than actively seeking you out.
I've always wanted to see some form of giant beetle enemy, particularly a Stag but really any kind of giant mutated beetle. Bombardier would also be an interesting choice I suppose. I just really, really want a tank-sized insect... Tank.
The fallout series,particularly fallout 3,and 4,literally have less enemy variation than the very first Mario game.Its kind of ducked we didn't have another dozen creatures in the base game.Bethesda makes great starter kits for modders lol
I liked all your picks. Only addition I would add is interloper from 76, maybe even Atom himself, or even maybe a manifestation of radiation like the visions from far harbor but that actually attacks the player when around radiation zones like a radiation poltergeist. Just some fun thoughts. Maybe more of the lovecraftian monsters hinted at in bgs fallouts.
I hope Todd takes more risks making Fallout 5 a bit darker. I really enjoy Fallout 4 as a game, but compared next to New Vegas it feels so soft I suppose. I was very disappointed by the super mutant designs and the fact they made generic guard dogs instead of an updated centaur. The color palettes didn’t help much either. It just felt all too colorful and clean and cheerful rather than bleak and broken and desperately trying to put itself back together
yeah, it's funny that they can have headless corpses hanging on meat hooks at raider camps while at the same time it still seems very PG, I'd think a developer would have trouble pulling that off on purpose and Bethesda seemed to do it by accident perfectly, the setting is perfect for a dark horror game but they won't since it takes so much time and money to develop a game they can't chance making something that won't appeal to the largest market
Very much agree. Fallout would benefit from being a bit grittier and darker parts of it are essentially a horror game already, they just need to lean more into that.
I know this is a bit silly but power armored super Mutants. Not like they are wearing the armor, but brotherhood of steel members dipped into fev so they are one with the armor. Bits of their flesh poking out of the armor and the helmet stuck to their head. (Yes I know about Frank Horrigan. Yes I know there are other factions that are power armor clad. The Brotherhood of Steel is just the biggest faction like that)
There is a giant glowing one in fallout winter of atom. It's one of the children of atom leaders daughter. Called Sister Dawn, she's level 36, the soft cap of the game is 20.
I really want to have more under water content in the next Fallout. Fallout 4 has so much wasted mao space because all the under water stuff was cut. And as a huge fan of squid (and all other cephalopods), encountering a mutated Giant Squid would be horrifyingly awesome
In A Boy and His Dog, there's a radioactive monster called a Screamer. We never see one in the movie adaptation but they're notoriously deadly monsters that the characters talk about and the closest we get to seeing one is when the main characters see the green glow of one of the approaching creatures and hide away from it.
I would love to see some sort of glowing ghoul variant that explodes on death. They have suicide mutants but a martyrdom ghoul would be interesting since all feral ghouls are close quarter
They could include giant gut worms, like the kind you see in praying mantis but they spawn out of random corpses upon death and are hostile to everything
Always up for more sea creatures, but it would be cool to have some more folklore monsters too. Like the Bandersnatch (search dnd Bandersnatch, the one I’m thinking of is the image of a 6 legged light brown thing with dark brown spines on it’s back) or Nuckelavee (especially the RWBY version)
Centaurs always were one of my favorites because of just how horrifying they are if you give them some thought. Truly some I Have no Mouth Yet I Must Scream level horror. Some sort of garbled speech or groans of pain and hunger would really set them over the top.
Centaurs dont exist in pain. Their creation process makes them uniquely symbiotic with with each other due to the FEV mutations. They wouldnt groan or moan in pain or agony is my point
I don't know if this counts since it was...kind of...in the game (and for all I know *is* in Fallout 76) but imagine fighting those dead ghoulified dolphins on the beaches in Fallout 4. Picture being underwater and one of those things suddenly comes tearing out of the murk at mach 10 right for your face. Straight out of the nightmares of someone with thalassophobia.
When I was Writing and Brainstorming for an original TTRPG Fallout Campaign I utilized the midwest, Some of the things that I thought were: Terrorpins (Mutated Terrapin Turtles) Swamp Kings (Mutated Snapping Turtles, two variations) - Mutant insects: Bog-Fleas (Giant water bugs that hunt both Swamp-lurks and people alike) Rotter bug (Long horn beetle, aggressive beetles with a nasty bite) - Myth/crypid: Minnesota Dogman (Mutant Baboon? FEV mutation who knows)
The May Pole could have worked in Fallout 76 since they already have the Scorch Beasts and the Wendigo Colossus. Bethesda seemed to like experimenting with large and very unique creatures in that game. The Scorch Beasts can also create the Scorched so they might have been able to apply that mechanic to the May Pole.
*insert The Office "No" gif/meme here* Do not give them that idea. Cazadors on their own are nightmares, but combining that with a Deathclaw is just... UNPOSSIBLE (outside of maybe Big Mt) But now that I think about it, what about a Nightstalker/Deathclaw or Nightstalker/Centaur hybrid?
One of the coolest things about the gigapede is that when I DMd the campaign I actually gave the party warnings about what the gigapede was going to do via BSL. I'm deaf so I know sign but the party don't so whilst I explained what was happening or they were talking I was signing all of the upcoming attacks. If they had taken a few seconds to notice I was doing something with my hands and then watched my signs vs what the monster did, they wouldn't have ended with no bullets, stimpacks or caps (doctors ain't cheap)
one idea for a fallout monster I've had for a while is a giant, FEV mutated jumping spider. Oversized eyes staring out at you from a spider silk covered pit in the ground, sizing you up before it's suddenly on you in the blink of an eye, all legs and fangs and chelicerae...
I thought the other day, "You know what would be neato? If Fallout 5 took place in the central US and included the Kaiju Paul Bunyan" They could make a giant ghoul and a blue brahmin 🤷🏾
I personally would like to see alternate versions of creatures from Fallout 76. I know everyone hates this game but if there is one thing the game did right then that would be the large variety of creatures. I would particularly like to see an alternate version of the Snallygaster, a better version of the Blue Devil (there is a lot of missed potential with this guy), and the scraped Thunder Bird. It would be cool to see ticks and mega sloths too.
what would be cool is if in the story line how the giant ghoul is mutated is from dozens of glowing ones, and hundreds of ghouls. all forming together piling onto each other to create legs, then a torso, then arms neck head... For this giant ghoul to have a sort of eco to ghouls across miles of where it is, and for the ghouls to become part of the giant ghoul. The goal being for you to kill the beast and to kill all the ghouls. what would also be cool is if charged glowing ones had an odd physical property to them, to where they would merge with or absorbed a regular glowing one. and then once a glowing one had absorbed one glowing one. it had an eco that reached for a few hundred feet... maybe to where a regular ghoul just makes it bigger and a glowing one makes the eco reach further distances. it gets bigger and bigger until its 300 feet tall consuming hundreds of ghouls, and you could stumble upon one of these ghouls in any stage of their size. anywhere from a charged glowing one. all the way to where it is 300 feet tall and it has hundreds of powerful ghouls fallowing it. you could also make it to where after is has reached 300 feet and the end stages. all of the ghouls within its will i guess you could call it. all act under one consensuses so the hundreds of ghouls all act as one. to where the ghoul has to eat other ghouls or other mutated organisms to maintain its size. Now that would be cool
a giant deathclaw, a Giga-claw is you will. it could be part of a quest like the perfect deathclaw egg one up at the witch museum ( for example you do the quest you get to a cave called idk deathclaw cavern you go in there and just as your about to put the egg in the nest a large group of gunners appear to stop you and the next thing you know they are all crushed by a giant scaly appendage whether that be a foot or a clawed hand, you look up to see a large eye staring down at you, your character freaks out drops the egg in the nest and runs, and if you turn to look at the deathclaw whilst leaving the cave you see it gently pick up the egg and retreat futher into the inky darkness of the cave never to be seen by humans again)
I wonder if the concept of the May Pole is what turned into the Wendigo Colossus in Fallout 76... At least that's what I thought when watching that segment!
Here's my idea, add the New Vegas Fanboy, here is what it does. -In dialogue will relate everything back to New Vegas -Its only attack is talking about Fallout 4 retcons -Won't shut up about a New Vegas 2 or New Vegas remake
Honestly, with all the zoos and such around the US. I'd think they'd have mutant monkeys and non-human apes somewhere. But as far as terrifying, I'd go with a Dragonfly or Spider mutant.
I can kind of imagine that the May-Pole would be one of those enemies you can't damage or get near (not just because of the massive horde of feral ghouls, but the rads it gives off is so strong that bullets melt before impact, and its mutated skin makes it almost totally immune to energy weapons/mini nukes... and with its health regeneration, any amount of damage you CAN do to it heals up instantly). It would be another reason to bring out a Liberty Prime style robot, as only something like that could walk through the army of ferals, and be unaffected by the rads given off by May-Pole long enough to start throwing hands (melee being May-Pole's only "weakness"), bringing it down while you and your chosen faction gun down the ferals. It could be an endgame quest to save the game's major hub-city from destruction, and one that's timed too (unlike other quests where you can just leave mid-way through and come back later, once that part of the quest starts, you HAVE to finish it within a certain time limit... the time it takes May-Pole to walk to the city... or the main city gets destroyed permanently)
You're gonna be at the Halloween party talking with co-workers. (pick male/female) Cut to vomiting in the bathroom and walking to the sink to clean up. (Character design/creation) you return to the party only for the night to be illuminated by the bombs. The Shockwave hits glass shatters. You black out only to fade in and out of conciseness you don't know for how long. Waking to the sound of the rubble being cleared away. It's ghoul time. Your face may be bad but maybe going through the story you can become a glowing one with some snazzy rad powers. Lol
Implement May-Pole, but the size of Liberty Prime. It's a bunch of Ghouls and radioactive waste melted together, it comes crawling out of the Missile Silo in the Glowing Sea. There's already a giant metal structure around Liberty Prime, as seen in the video. So just use that and climb into Liberty Prime! Your Pacific Rim dream feels within grasp!
What they truly need to add are animation skeletons- f04 has male, female, hunchback, and child. They need dwarves, extra limbs, missing limbs and extra fingers cause thats supposed to be common from radiation exposure in fallout
A masive spider in a large cave, and when you go i to it, the spider attacks, and when you get bit, your character passes out for a few seconds, and when you wake up without your power armour and you have to escape but befor you get out baby spiders burst out of your flesh and you die
Maybe 300 feet is a bit of a stretch but I could easily see a giant ghoul fitting into fallout 4 it could've been set to randomly walk the glowing sea and I can imagine an awesome quest where you get it to fight liberty prime
I'm older and have played Fallout since it was new back in the 90s. I have over 3000 hours on Fallout 4 alone. I know I won't see it happen but I'd love to see Fallout 5 take a darker tone more like the new Table Top Book. It just has such a well set up world to be so much darker. Huddled survivors of a 200 year nuclear winter world, with raiders and monsters, it could really be something. Even Fallout 4 has glimpses of that with dead bodies hanging up at raider camps, but somehow makes it so it feels cartoonish right along at the same time. But there is going to be a long wait for FO5, people complain but the times of companies being able to pump out games ever few years are over. With how complex things are because of systems being so much more powerful it takes 6 to 10 years to make a game and that's if the company isn't working on anything else. In the 2030s that'll speed up with AI assists to development but we're a way off from that right now, so the slow road is the only road at the moment. Fallout 5 will come out most likely in 28-32ish, maybe sooner if development of Elder Scrolls 6 goes well. But if Starfield does really well that may slow things down with DLC development for that as well as for ES6 because that will almost certainly be a huge seller.
Bring back the Ridley Scott/Alien knock off Wannamingos from the fan favorite of many people Fallout 2.Also make them more like the Xenomorphes complete with two mouths of fangs and highly concentrated acid for blood which was what they were trying to rip off.
@@AmyCherryLMAO I mean like Vampire created from FEV Virus I'm thinking they would look blade 2 Vampires or maybe strain have different variations of them
A boy and his dog was a two headed centaur, one a human head other a dog with a spiked collar and the dog head would keep biting the human head. I think this was from van buren. I thought it was a great concept.
an enemy for fallout i thought would be a some kind of snake or a rad snake maybe and madye even like sea snakes or a anaconde for the far harbor DLC called the fangs of terror.
The centaurs are created from mutated humans (amongst other things) so that implies that, for the dual-centaurs, the supermutants must be working out if people preferred country or rock & roll, before deciding which side of the FEV pit they drop them into.
Would have been cool to see mutated variations of humans either via second hand FEV, radiation or... tabboo forms of breeding (like the Swampfolk feom F3's Point Lookout). Just more variations of wastelanders.
Hear me out, instead of a giant suit of power armor, by the time 5 takes place some of Liberty Primes systems for automation are just bunk so they retro fit it to be piloted to fight the May Pole
This was a great video!!! I think it is one of your most entertaining for sure. I wanted to play Fo4 today but my pain is so bad I can't even hold the controller. I'm using talk to text to even write this. So I can't play anything today but I'll settle for watching your videos. Thanks for your excellent videos and all the hard work that goes into making them.
I’m shocked they haven’t used spiders. They could’ve literally reused assets and animations from Skyrim (a common theme for Bethesda) and badabing badaboom: a new enemy
Honestly, just having any exclusively aquatic threat appear in the frequently empty waters of a Bethesda game (Fallout or not) would be nice. Outside of stuff like mutant giant centipedes, and other "creepy crawlies" though, I kind of wish Fallout had some horrific mutated animals that are clearly descendants of animals that had escaped pre-war zoos. Tigers, Hippos, and Elephants would all be rather major threats, ones that would probably not struggle too much to survive in post-war America (I know Fallout London is including Elephants, which will be interesting to see). It otherwise feels odd that we don't see more farm animals in Fallout. Hogs, an invasive species in America thanks to escaped farm pigs, would undoubtedly fair just as well as Bears could. Imagine being rushed down by 10 roughly Yao Guai-sized hell pigs.
Ok but what if: Mutated crab the size of a regular crab but one of its arms and claws is the size of a skyscraper. You get done beating a giant fucking crab arm and your waiting for the other arm to emerge but it doesn’t so you go over and its just… a normal freaking crab with a big ass arm. Oh, and its boss bar will ofc read “The crab that likes to rave”
Twin centaur would be even more at odds with itself if the left side liked mumble rap and the rigjt side like neoclassical metal. They'd literally be punching eachother all the time.
Imagine the dlc companion you get for the gigapede monstrosity is deaf and they give you some perk that works like echolocation sort and they also help defeat the monster because of its knowledge of asl?
The most nightmarish thing about fallout 5 is the wait for it to actually come out. Taking bets. 10 years from now? Ish

I've always wanted to see some form of giant beetle enemy, particularly a Stag but really any kind of giant mutated beetle. Bombardier would also be an interesting choice I suppose. I just really, really want a tank-sized insect... Tank.
The fallout series,particularly fallout 3,and 4,literally have less enemy variation than the very first Mario game.Its kind of ducked we didn't have another dozen creatures in the base game.Bethesda makes great starter kits for modders lol
I liked all your picks. Only addition I would add is interloper from 76, maybe even Atom himself, or even maybe a manifestation of radiation like the visions from far harbor but that actually attacks the player when around radiation zones like a radiation poltergeist. Just some fun thoughts. Maybe more of the lovecraftian monsters hinted at in bgs fallouts.
I hope Todd takes more risks making Fallout 5 a bit darker. I really enjoy Fallout 4 as a game, but compared next to New Vegas it feels so soft I suppose. I was very disappointed by the super mutant designs and the fact they made generic guard dogs instead of an updated centaur. The color palettes didn’t help much either. It just felt all too colorful and clean and cheerful rather than bleak and broken and desperately trying to put itself back together
yeah, it's funny that they can have headless corpses hanging on meat hooks at raider camps while at the same time it still seems very PG, I'd think a developer would have trouble pulling that off on purpose and Bethesda seemed to do it by accident perfectly, the setting is perfect for a dark horror game but they won't since it takes so much time and money to develop a game they can't chance making something that won't appeal to the largest market
Very much agree. Fallout would benefit from being a bit grittier and darker parts of it are essentially a horror game already, they just need to lean more into that.
Totally agree but I highly doubt they will. If anything it might get even less
It will be less dark and gritty because that will sell more copies to the masses
Todd won't have anything to do with that project,thankfully.He is retiring or some shit.
I know this is a bit silly but power armored super Mutants. Not like they are wearing the armor, but brotherhood of steel members dipped into fev so they are one with the armor. Bits of their flesh poking out of the armor and the helmet stuck to their head.
(Yes I know about Frank Horrigan. Yes I know there are other factions that are power armor clad. The Brotherhood of Steel is just the biggest faction like that)
@@knowledgeenjoyer0616 yeah, but the brotherhood can also be idiots.
Closest thing to that is frank horrigan
@@superjerick9669 yeah but he can take off the armor and is giant in comparison.
we dont need more horrigans
It doesn't need to be Brotherhood members. The power armor super mutants can be any raider in power armor that became infected with FEV.
There is a giant glowing one in fallout winter of atom. It's one of the children of atom leaders daughter. Called Sister Dawn, she's level 36, the soft cap of the game is 20.
I really want to have more under water content in the next Fallout. Fallout 4 has so much wasted mao space because all the under water stuff was cut.
And as a huge fan of squid (and all other cephalopods), encountering a mutated Giant Squid would be horrifyingly awesome
I'd love to see a massive snake enemy in Fallout 5.
UR evil 😭😭😭
Number 1 stuff I would like to see more of would be more fusions of creatures like Centaurs. 😊
In A Boy and His Dog, there's a radioactive monster called a Screamer. We never see one in the movie adaptation but they're notoriously deadly monsters that the characters talk about and the closest we get to seeing one is when the main characters see the green glow of one of the approaching creatures and hide away from it.
I would love to see some sort of glowing ghoul variant that explodes on death. They have suicide mutants but a martyrdom ghoul would be interesting since all feral ghouls are close quarter
They could include giant gut worms, like the kind you see in praying mantis but they spawn out of random corpses upon death and are hostile to everything
Always up for more sea creatures, but it would be cool to have some more folklore monsters too.
Like the Bandersnatch (search dnd Bandersnatch, the one I’m thinking of is the image of a 6 legged light brown thing with dark brown spines on it’s back) or Nuckelavee (especially the RWBY version)
you mean the orcadian horseman?
Centaurs always were one of my favorites because of just how horrifying they are if you give them some thought. Truly some I Have no Mouth Yet I Must Scream level horror. Some sort of garbled speech or groans of pain and hunger would really set them over the top.
Centaurs dont exist in pain. Their creation process makes them uniquely symbiotic with with each other due to the FEV mutations. They wouldnt groan or moan in pain or agony is my point
I don't know if this counts since it was...kind of...in the game (and for all I know *is* in Fallout 76) but imagine fighting those dead ghoulified dolphins on the beaches in Fallout 4.
Picture being underwater and one of those things suddenly comes tearing out of the murk at mach 10 right for your face. Straight out of the nightmares of someone with thalassophobia.
When I was Writing and Brainstorming for an original TTRPG Fallout Campaign I utilized the midwest, Some of the things that I thought were:
Terrorpins (Mutated Terrapin Turtles)
Swamp Kings (Mutated Snapping Turtles, two variations)
-
Mutant insects: Bog-Fleas (Giant water bugs that hunt both Swamp-lurks and people alike)
Rotter bug (Long horn beetle, aggressive beetles with a nasty bite)
-
Myth/crypid: Minnesota Dogman (Mutant Baboon? FEV mutation who knows)
Liberty prime vs that big ass ghoul would be epic.
I'm still afraid by the idea of encountering a deathclaw/cazardor hybride, that would be awful
i hope Fallout 5 keeps the grotesque and horrific vibe of Fallout 3 and NV, 4 was too cartoony for me
The May Pole could have worked in Fallout 76 since they already have the Scorch Beasts and the Wendigo Colossus. Bethesda seemed to like experimenting with large and very unique creatures in that game. The Scorch Beasts can also create the Scorched so they might have been able to apply that mechanic to the May Pole.
For all the shit 76 gets, I really do want to see its weapons and enemies in Fallout 5. If I can't shoot the Maypole with a musket, what's the point?
As long as we don't get Cazaclaws(Deathadors?)
*insert The Office "No" gif/meme here*
Do not give them that idea. Cazadors on their own are nightmares, but combining that with a Deathclaw is just... UNPOSSIBLE (outside of maybe Big Mt)
But now that I think about it, what about a Nightstalker/Deathclaw or Nightstalker/Centaur hybrid?
@@wayneigoe6722 invisible deathclaws do sound less scary than flying deathclaws that spit poison
One of the coolest things about the gigapede is that when I DMd the campaign I actually gave the party warnings about what the gigapede was going to do via BSL. I'm deaf so I know sign but the party don't so whilst I explained what was happening or they were talking I was signing all of the upcoming attacks. If they had taken a few seconds to notice I was doing something with my hands and then watched my signs vs what the monster did, they wouldn't have ended with no bullets, stimpacks or caps (doctors ain't cheap)
A friend (a bigger fallout nerd than me) told me that the fog crawlers were inspired by the idea of the mantis shrimp
A few more ideas:
a Hydra, just make it a multi-headed snake'
sasquatch.
giant spiders.
witch doctor psykers.
giant bobcats.
Spiders went extinct in fallout lore so did cats until fallout 4 fucked up the lore.
one idea for a fallout monster I've had for a while is a giant, FEV mutated jumping spider.
Oversized eyes staring out at you from a spider silk covered pit in the ground, sizing you up before it's suddenly on you in the blink of an eye, all legs and fangs and chelicerae...
can the concept art be brought more often? amazing vid, may atom guide you!
The Maypole could be a cool raid boss in Fallout 76 - but then again, we already have the Wendigo Colossus as a "ghoul" raid boss.
So may pole is technically still canon as the winter of adem rpg you mentioned has a may pile style monster
I thought the other day, "You know what would be neato? If Fallout 5 took place in the central US and included the Kaiju Paul Bunyan"
They could make a giant ghoul and a blue brahmin 🤷🏾
Dude, the scariest thing about fallout 5 is how old I’m gonna be whenever its released 😂.
I personally would like to see alternate versions of creatures from Fallout 76. I know everyone hates this game but if there is one thing the game did right then that would be the large variety of creatures.
I would particularly like to see an alternate version of the Snallygaster, a better version of the Blue Devil (there is a lot of missed potential with this guy), and the scraped Thunder Bird. It would be cool to see ticks and mega sloths too.
what would be cool is if in the story line how the giant ghoul is mutated is from dozens of glowing ones, and hundreds of ghouls.
all forming together piling onto each other to create legs, then a torso, then arms neck head...
For this giant ghoul to have a sort of eco to ghouls across miles of where it is, and for the ghouls to become part of the giant ghoul.
The goal being for you to kill the beast and to kill all the ghouls.
what would also be cool is if charged glowing ones had an odd physical property to them, to where they would merge with or absorbed a regular glowing one. and then once a glowing one had absorbed one glowing one. it had an eco that reached for a few hundred feet... maybe to where a regular ghoul just makes it bigger and a glowing one makes the eco reach further distances.
it gets bigger and bigger until its 300 feet tall consuming hundreds of ghouls, and you could stumble upon one of these ghouls in any stage of their size. anywhere from a charged glowing one. all the way to where it is 300 feet tall and it has hundreds of powerful ghouls fallowing it.
you could also make it to where after is has reached 300 feet and the end stages. all of the ghouls within its will i guess you could call it. all act under one consensuses so the hundreds of ghouls all act as one.
to where the ghoul has to eat other ghouls or other mutated organisms to maintain its size.
Now that would be cool
a giant deathclaw, a Giga-claw is you will. it could be part of a quest like the perfect deathclaw egg one up at the witch museum ( for example you do the quest you get to a cave called idk deathclaw cavern you go in there and just as your about to put the egg in the nest a large group of gunners appear to stop you and the next thing you know they are all crushed by a giant scaly appendage whether that be a foot or a clawed hand, you look up to see a large eye staring down at you, your character freaks out drops the egg in the nest and runs, and if you turn to look at the deathclaw whilst leaving the cave you see it gently pick up the egg and retreat futher into the inky darkness of the cave never to be seen by humans again)
I wonder if the concept of the May Pole is what turned into the Wendigo Colossus in Fallout 76... At least that's what I thought when watching that segment!
Here's my idea, add the New Vegas Fanboy, here is what it does.
-In dialogue will relate everything back to New Vegas
-Its only attack is talking about Fallout 4 retcons
-Won't shut up about a New Vegas 2 or New Vegas remake
Honestly, with all the zoos and such around the US. I'd think they'd have mutant monkeys and non-human apes somewhere. But as far as terrifying, I'd go with a Dragonfly or Spider mutant.
God since mutants hypothetically NEVER stop growing and if a feral ghoul concept like Mary pol was that tall imagine how big mutants can get
I can kind of imagine that the May-Pole would be one of those enemies you can't damage or get near (not just because of the massive horde of feral ghouls, but the rads it gives off is so strong that bullets melt before impact, and its mutated skin makes it almost totally immune to energy weapons/mini nukes... and with its health regeneration, any amount of damage you CAN do to it heals up instantly).
It would be another reason to bring out a Liberty Prime style robot, as only something like that could walk through the army of ferals, and be unaffected by the rads given off by May-Pole long enough to start throwing hands (melee being May-Pole's only "weakness"), bringing it down while you and your chosen faction gun down the ferals.
It could be an endgame quest to save the game's major hub-city from destruction, and one that's timed too (unlike other quests where you can just leave mid-way through and come back later, once that part of the quest starts, you HAVE to finish it within a certain time limit... the time it takes May-Pole to walk to the city... or the main city gets destroyed permanently)
You're gonna be at the Halloween party talking with co-workers. (pick male/female) Cut to vomiting in the bathroom and walking to the sink to clean up. (Character design/creation) you return to the party only for the night to be illuminated by the bombs. The Shockwave hits glass shatters. You black out only to fade in and out of conciseness you don't know for how long. Waking to the sound of the rubble being cleared away. It's ghoul time. Your face may be bad but maybe going through the story you can become a glowing one with some snazzy rad powers. Lol
Ngl I’d love to see a mutant tiger enemy. I know it wouldn’t be widespread but it *could* exist in America
One creature that I know most Fallout fans want to see in a future Fallout game is the Ghoul Whale.
Implement May-Pole, but the size of Liberty Prime. It's a bunch of Ghouls and radioactive waste melted together, it comes crawling out of the Missile Silo in the Glowing Sea. There's already a giant metal structure around Liberty Prime, as seen in the video. So just use that and climb into Liberty Prime! Your Pacific Rim dream feels within grasp!
More centaur mutations would be awesome
Jiminy Cricket only has 4 limbs so he shouldn't meet the creepy criteria
What they truly need to add are animation skeletons- f04 has male, female, hunchback, and child. They need dwarves, extra limbs, missing limbs and extra fingers cause thats supposed to be common from radiation exposure in fallout
We definitely need the giant mantis shrimp in fallout 5.
I’d like more “normal” mutants who are just animals living their life and who have formed a new ecosystem, like what radstags and bighorners are.
The fact that the math at the beginning with the "Creepiness Formula" is actually correct and works is very funny to me.
That underwater quest sounds like it would have rocked. Really hope Bethesda actually does more actual under sea stuff in they're next couple games
A masive spider in a large cave, and when you go i to it, the spider attacks, and when you get bit, your character passes out for a few seconds, and when you wake up without your power armour and you have to escape but befor you get out baby spiders burst out of your flesh and you die
Maybe 300 feet is a bit of a stretch but I could easily see a giant ghoul fitting into fallout 4 it could've been set to randomly walk the glowing sea and I can imagine an awesome quest where you get it to fight liberty prime
I'm older and have played Fallout since it was new back in the 90s. I have over 3000 hours on Fallout 4 alone. I know I won't see it happen but I'd love to see Fallout 5 take a darker tone more like the new Table Top Book. It just has such a well set up world to be so much darker. Huddled survivors of a 200 year nuclear winter world, with raiders and monsters, it could really be something. Even Fallout 4 has glimpses of that with dead bodies hanging up at raider camps, but somehow makes it so it feels cartoonish right along at the same time. But there is going to be a long wait for FO5, people complain but the times of companies being able to pump out games ever few years are over. With how complex things are because of systems being so much more powerful it takes 6 to 10 years to make a game and that's if the company isn't working on anything else. In the 2030s that'll speed up with AI assists to development but we're a way off from that right now, so the slow road is the only road at the moment. Fallout 5 will come out most likely in 28-32ish, maybe sooner if development of Elder Scrolls 6 goes well. But if Starfield does really well that may slow things down with DLC development for that as well as for ES6 because that will almost certainly be a huge seller.
Bring back the Ridley Scott/Alien knock off Wannamingos from the fan favorite of many people Fallout 2.Also make them more like the Xenomorphes complete with two mouths of fangs and highly concentrated acid for blood which was what they were trying to rip off.
A giant power armor suit to fight that ghoul? Naw, let's have the ability to control Liberty Prime to fight it.
I would love fallouts version of a vampire maybe quest vampire slayer
Fallout 3 has some somewhere I believe
@@AmyCherryLMAO I mean like Vampire created from FEV Virus I'm thinking they would look blade 2 Vampires or maybe strain have different variations of them
They added a giant glowing one to the table top game as well in the same winter of atom add on expansion
A boy and his dog was a two headed centaur, one a human head other a dog with a spiked collar and the dog head would keep biting the human head. I think this was from van buren. I thought it was a great concept.
1:06 the flaw on the equation is that you forgot the variables of Octopus and Squids. Other insects are way creepier then them
an enemy for fallout i thought would be a some kind of snake or a rad snake maybe and madye even like sea snakes or a anaconde for the far harbor DLC called the fangs of terror.
The centaurs are created from mutated humans (amongst other things) so that implies that, for the dual-centaurs, the supermutants must be working out if people preferred country or rock & roll, before deciding which side of the FEV pit they drop them into.
Would have been cool to see mutated variations of humans either via second hand FEV, radiation or... tabboo forms of breeding (like the Swampfolk feom F3's Point Lookout). Just more variations of wastelanders.
Hear me out, instead of a giant suit of power armor, by the time 5 takes place some of Liberty Primes systems for automation are just bunk so they retro fit it to be piloted to fight the May Pole
This was a great video!!! I think it is one of your most entertaining for sure. I wanted to play Fo4 today but my pain is so bad I can't even hold the controller. I'm using talk to text to even write this. So I can't play anything today but I'll settle for watching your videos. Thanks for your excellent videos and all the hard work that goes into making them.
Imagine having a nice wasteland retirement and suddenly getting sucker punched to ashes by a giant ass mutant shrimp LMFAO
I’m shocked they haven’t used spiders. They could’ve literally reused assets and animations from Skyrim (a common theme for Bethesda) and badabing badaboom: a new enemy
Tbh, Winter of Atom and Far Harbor proved The Children of Atom should be the next big reoccurring faction.
Honestly, just having any exclusively aquatic threat appear in the frequently empty waters of a Bethesda game (Fallout or not) would be nice.
Outside of stuff like mutant giant centipedes, and other "creepy crawlies" though, I kind of wish Fallout had some horrific mutated animals that are clearly descendants of animals that had escaped pre-war zoos.
Tigers, Hippos, and Elephants would all be rather major threats, ones that would probably not struggle too much to survive in post-war America (I know Fallout London is including Elephants, which will be interesting to see).
It otherwise feels odd that we don't see more farm animals in Fallout. Hogs, an invasive species in America thanks to escaped farm pigs, would undoubtedly fair just as well as Bears could. Imagine being rushed down by 10 roughly Yao Guai-sized hell pigs.
Fallout already had the most terrifying thing in their series. The "completely online, multi-player experience."
Ok but what if: Mutated crab the size of a regular crab but one of its arms and claws is the size of a skyscraper. You get done beating a giant fucking crab arm and your waiting for the other arm to emerge but it doesn’t so you go over and its just… a normal freaking crab with a big ass arm.
Oh, and its boss bar will ofc read “The crab that likes to rave”
The children of adam being a big bad in a future game sounds interesting.
For the giant ghoul we need to be able to take control of liberty prime and have a massive battle
The part about the mantis shrimp reminded me of a dream that was fallout like that had that, and kind of weirds me out
I hope they add that one 300ft ghoul or the wendigo (f76 version)
the tiny mantis shrimp is deadly as it is, a radiated one, guess we have one punch shrimp
imagine swarms of tiny bloodbugs that get in everywhere and you can never escape them. Except in winter and early fall.
For the Maypole maybe seeing it in the distance out in the Glowing Sea and we just see just it’s silhouette out in the distance
I'd be happy with just the return of the Wannamingo.
Id like to what happens to raccoons. Theyre already pesky and highly intellegent. Id love to see what a little radiation could do.
I always thought it would be funny if there were huge raccoons that threw trash at you.
Twin centaur would be even more at odds with itself if the left side liked mumble rap and the rigjt side like neoclassical metal.
They'd literally be punching eachother all the time.
i think Fog Crawlers are “Spear Claw” Types of Mantis Shrimp, as opposed to the more notorious “Club Claw” types.
I would love to personally see all of these in the game
Amen to that !
I hope fallout 5 does a return to the player starting as a kid in a vault and growing up
Imagine the dlc companion you get for the gigapede monstrosity is deaf and they give you some perk that works like echolocation sort and they also help defeat the monster because of its knowledge of asl?
