I always appreciate getting interesting "that's not how guns work" info on videogames, being very ignorant of the realities of firearms (well, beyond the flint-lock musket anyway)! Now you've said it, I can appreciate how this sounds like a very bad idea, but I'd never have realised it without your input, so thank you for sharing your knowledge!
@@katbairwell you're welcome! Most modern shotguns have a tool and a selection of chokes you can screw into the muzzle to affect the spread pattern. With the rise of drones in warfare, they're going to make a big comeback.
It does, and he could have been using it for a while now, but he's now upgraded his Instigating legendary Shotgun to the point where it's now better than She Who Dares, so there's no point in using it now.
...you know, I kinda love Chief Roach. XD Also, I really like that in addition to the "notes" answer, there's "I have an excellent idea: let's change the subject," which is another Alice In Wonderland line (I know it's in the original Disney animated movie, I do not recall off the top of my head if it or something like it was in the book). Everything may be very deadly in this area of the world, but it's also very silly and I appreciate that.
The Crystal Palace maze is a real thing, got a feeling the in-game version is going to be nicer, keep an eye about the area for dinosaurs, the main things of note for the real Crystal Palace is the big TV transmitter, and the first recreation of what dinosaurs looked like by humans, at the point of their creation no full skeletons had been found, so guess how accurate they are from that, would recommend giving them a look in real life, even if there is not much else in the area.
Yup Jon gunna have fun with his perception 1 in that maze. I spent 2 hours running around in that maze before I gave up and used commands. Have fun with searching for keys with zero markers its going to be hell.
You've put your finger exactly on one of the main issues I have with Fallout London, which is that their major factions get introduced too late. Sure, you'll see them wandering around the shop, see graffiti about them scrawled on walls, but you don't get a chance to talk to them until the game wants you to lock in a side. By the time you learn what they're fighting for, it's too late to switch sides. Compare that to New Vegas. In Goodsprings, you have characters talking about how the NCR is expansionist and bureaucratic and nobody asked THEM if they wanted to be NCR aligned, the NCR just showed up one day and said "you're ours now." You wander past Nipton, with its rows of burning houses and gangers on crosses, and a furry tells you about the purity of Legion justice. Cassidy talks about how yeah, women have a shit life in the Legion, but damn if their roads aren't safe. Everyone and their dog wants to tell you about how they feel about the factions, give you jobs working for factions, talk about the philosophical implications of each faction. And then, once you actually make it to Vegas and get the platinum chip, every faction says, in essence, "okay, tutorial over, reputation reset, wanna work for us?"
Thank you for sharing this! I am blown away by how good this game is, considering how it has come to be, and I'm appreciative of the love it's been getting in the comments, but to really appreciate something is to see it's flaws in addition to it's strengths. Thank you for sharing a thoughtful, and clearly respectful, analysis of an area where the game could be improved!
As a Brit, it was fairly obvious what each faction represented based upon the cultural associations that were on display. But it did produce a rather hilariously large number of posts on Reddit from non-Brits, who were obviously unaware of certain 'red flags' on the faction they had tied themselves to. Let's just say, if a faction likes order, has smart uniforms and seems to like using Lugers an awful lot, then they might harbour a few darker motivations.
Just a heads up Jon, when you enter conversation with the gardner at the main gate, look up at the top corner of the entrance for the speaker to get the conversation window to show.
So, Chief Roach refers to an "isolated tribe in nearby Croydon", which means Croydon survived pretty much untouched! Lovely to see Battersea Power Station - I grew up less than 2km from it.
Can't wait for Jon to meet the real big cheese of Camelot As a side note, I hope Jon does more exploration than I did. Tbqh by the time I got to choosing factions I hardly knew enough about all of them. All worked out in the end though, all very interesting.
One potential explanation for the lava pool is maybe a nuclear power plan meltdown? It was one of the things that was narrowly avoided at Chernobyl but if it did happen, it would have been even more apocalyptic as it would have seeped into the water basin nearby and basically made the Dnipro valley uninhabitable for millions of years
I'd argue the Minutemen are following a similar concept as these guys and Caesar's Legion. The actual Minutemen were not dogooders helping the people. The story was just a bit modern than the other two
Would love that you rename your weapons to give them some gravitas. When you called the shotgun "this old girl", I thought rename it something like ´Tis ole girl !
A silencer on a revolver wouldn't work as the chamber is exposed to the air which is were you'd hear the bang, not the end of the barrel so a couple of issues with the shotguns mods.
I don’t know (living this game though you Jon) However to me personally Camelot - should be good as I believe King Arthur and the Knights of the roundtable are good and meant to be like very good. So I recon Camelot will be old school but good. That’s my thought.
Day 273 of requesting Age of Mythology. Learning that the Brits went back to slavery after the apocalypse despite seeming to be in way better shape than most of the old USA is honestly pretty dang funny.
Real world PSA: Please DO NOT fire slugs in a shotgun with a full choke unless you want to look like Elmer Fudd with your barrel blown apart.
So you'll pull a Kentucky Ballistics?

I love how Jon called Lancelot the big cheese. Considering he’s in a bar called the Old Cheese. He’s the big cheese in the old cheese.
Surely he should be a knight of Camembert?
Knights of the Old Cheese
@@VortechBand King Wensleydale and the knights of the cheese wheel
As a local to crystal palace the maze is perfectly represented, it truly is that deadly and they made croydon look way to nice 😂
Just so you know Jon. The special effect on She Who Dares is also instigating if you wanted a unique shotgun to run around with
It does, and he could have been using it for a while now, but he's now upgraded his Instigating legendary Shotgun to the point where it's now better than She Who Dares, so there's no point in using it now.
Ah yes, Roach. Also known as... Tim.
aka: "Tim, the manky Scotch git".
A thing to note for any US viewers: Croydon is the UK's equivalent to Baltimore. Jon is in for a warm welcome.
Oh hes gonna die
Ahh, I think I figured out who's responsible for the bridge then
Brixton has improved since the apocalypse, then.
I've heard Camelot is a silly place. Also, enjoy the maze .
its just a model.
They dine well there in Camelot; they eat jam and ham and spam a lot.
Burocracy, class war on the side of drugs and knufe fights. Ah yes, London; how much I missed you.
"That doesn't seem too difficult, they're just around the corner."
Always love hearing Jon's famous last words.
"Hold your horses have i just laid my eyes on the Battersea Power Station? Pink Floyd Album and Everything?"
as a person who's favorite fallout is 2, that you didn't even try to talk to the legendary pigrat made me want to cry.

A silenced shotty feels really scary after watching No Country for Old Men
You know the pub in Thames haven has a coster too. (Beer mat)
Yup, there are 5 unmarked (by the Pint Glass Icon) locations that have coasters.

That place was impossible to solve. Even with a walkthrough I ended up using commands.
So weird for this being a sunday.
Man, that staggering gamma gun could be a monster.

Roach: I don't care who the Tommys send Im not paying my taxes
HMRC has entered the chat.
@MagnumCarta oh no
YESSSS WE FOUND THE LARPERS
Just a heads up Jon, when you enter conversation with the gardner at the main gate, look up at the top corner of the entrance for the speaker to get the conversation window to show.
TX
So Jon has said "screw that" to the building bridges option, then...
🤣
Thank God the flare gun is gone. I hated watching you wait for it to reload every time.
So, Chief Roach refers to an "isolated tribe in nearby Croydon", which means Croydon survived pretty much untouched!
Lovely to see Battersea Power Station - I grew up less than 2km from it.
Not everything may be about Kiera, but it damn well should be!
Every Video you put out is immensely enjoyable 😊 thanks Jon!
'Where we killed all the dogs .... and next up, its the cats'
Jon I highly recommend searching for the police box, I won’t spoil much but there is an ester egg for finding all 15.
Can't wait for Jon to meet the real big cheese of Camelot
As a side note, I hope Jon does more exploration than I did. Tbqh by the time I got to choosing factions I hardly knew enough about all of them. All worked out in the end though, all very interesting.
Did Jon forget to loot that legendary Hooligan?
I think they cut most of the looting out of the episode if it's not got anything interesting.

It was one of the things that was narrowly avoided at Chernobyl but if it did happen, it would have been even more apocalyptic as it would have seeped into the water basin nearby and basically made the Dnipro valley uninhabitable for millions of years
The in-game reason is extensive fracking during the Resource Wars.
Croydon looks suspiciously like Mordor
What about in the game?
I'd argue the Minutemen are following a similar concept as these guys and Caesar's Legion. The actual Minutemen were not dogooders helping the people. The story was just a bit modern than the other two
Chief Roach has the same headwear as someone in The Holy Grail right? The Bridgemaster?
not the bridgemaster but "Tim the enchanter", i was surprised Jon didn't pick up on it
@@gmh3 Thank-you! There are those who call me...
A hedge maze?!? Boo! I wanted hyperactive Riff Raff running around telling you how easy the deadly maze is. ;)
Next time your in Westminster go talk to the little tour guide, you’ll love her
We need fallout London YOLO
If i recall correctly, the lava was caused by a pre-war fracking disaster
I bet everyone remembers that part in True Crime 2. When it goes from GTA clone to a decent into hell?
Got those vibes here.
Good luck with the maze Jon! Also after you are done with the maze, check out crystal palace. 👍
Is there any difference between modern Croydon and Fallout Croydon?
I presume a working tram line
Would love that you rename your weapons to give them some gravitas. When you called the shotgun "this old girl", I thought rename it something like ´Tis ole girl !
now I hope he names it something like Experiencing a Gravitas Shortfall
You forgot about that legendary you shot at 11:44 I think she had a legendary rocket launcher
11:42 did not pick up the Legendary?
The Brotherhood WISHES they were as knightly as these folks
How was he not named Tim?! You had ONE job Fallout London!
King Arthur isn't semi-mythologized. He is pure fiction. But Camelot is as obnoxious goody two shoes as the other ones are extremely nasty.
Very funny first impression of Camelot. compared to some others jon didnt quite figure out
Did you not loot that first legendary or was it one of those that didn't spawn any loot?
It is indeed a Nightmare Maze --- I hated it !
y'know...
I lived in croydon for eight years and I don't remember any geothermal activity that could explain deadly deadly lava
Remember check all bodies and stuff you have scrounger so hopefully more bullets
Also did you pick up the legendary
I can’t believe he didn’t pick it up it broke my heart 😂
Jon, did you forget the Legendary drop from that hooligan?
I hope jon checks out biggin hill airfield in the south east at some point
A silencer on a revolver wouldn't work as the chamber is exposed to the air which is were you'd hear the bang, not the end of the barrel so a couple of issues with the shotguns mods.
At last!
Jon, don't edit the footage of you braving the maze, we want the whole thing, every single second of pain and confusion.
I have been watching Jon play RDR recently, and see he needs to finished RDR2, maybe that can be a saturday feature?
He didn't like RDR2 much, from what he's said when asked on livestreams, so I wouldn't count on that.
@@kevblr15 Thanks for the info. Oh well, I guess...
What does Brixton look like now? 🤷♂
croydon!
comment for the algorithm
I don’t know (living this game though you Jon)
However to me personally Camelot - should be good as I believe King Arthur and the Knights of the roundtable are good and meant to be like very good. So I recon Camelot will be old school but good. That’s my thought.
FIRST!
3:30: that gun is 100% cursed.
it's an artillery luger with it its stock and a snail drum, whats cursed about it? not only is it possible but historically accurate as well
20 minutes?!?!?!? man im early!
I cheated and looked up what people have said about the maze and it ain't going to be fun.
Day 328/1230 of requesting Jon play a game nobody will remember, like Majesty: A Fantasy Kingdom Sim.
Day 273 of requesting Age of Mythology. Learning that the Brits went back to slavery after the apocalypse despite seeming to be in way better shape than most of the old USA is honestly pretty dang funny.
Tbf, the Yanks also went back into slavery asap. Humans love dominatimg each other.
Day 203 of requesting Jon play Okami HD
26:21 Is this normal for Brixton? 🩲
Is Roach meant be a parody of Russel Brand?
Having said that Russel Brand is a parody of Russel Brand...
