Thomas, can you if you haven't already. Do a compilation of all legendary weapons and one with all legendary wearables (clothing, armor & accessories)? If you've already done so, do you have a link you can post please 🙂? Thank you and keep up the good works 👍
It took me a moment to realize the "you've discovered" text wasn't part of the game. Those were cool to see and helped keep track of the various locations. Plus, the names were often really funny. Great job!!!
Given the close proximity to the dunwich borrers,the Brahmin in the 1st floor could be a reference to the HP lovecraft book “dunwich horror” where one of the main characters feeds cows to a creature he is keeping on the 1st floor in his house.
I think somebody did the math and more or less checked out. Like considering most stuff, but lights, being fed by the generator got destroyed and no longer used power and how little power fluorescent lights used compared to moving something that lands at about half a tonne in the lighter end it more or less makes sense that FCs don't last that long in PA. Also, many places have multiple generators even when we only get to loot one.
I know it's for game balance. But I'd say it makes perfect sense from a lore and engineering point of view. Remember that power armour was still relatively new technology in 2077. New technology is always lacking efficiency. Look at the internal combustion engine in its first 15/20 years. The fusion generators are really common across the game. They seem an established and common technology. Going back to engineering. They are huge compared to power armour suits and technology tends to gain efficiency in orders of magnitude based on size (think of the efficiency of a train Vs a car). Which brings me to.... The bit of the power armour that's the power converter is tiny. It's a small part of the back of the pa. So yeh. Put all that with the point above that the generators have barely been powering anything the last 200 years. It makes sense. There's a bonus theory. That the generators constantly refresh the core somehow. Which would mean you should be able to plug a part used core back in to be refilled. But I imagine that was asking a bit much of the game 😂
You mentioned how you wished you could find a ghoul in a "solo" bomb shelter, and that reminded me of the one where you can find when you're sent to clear out an area just north of the police station the BoS were holed up in during one of their side quests
I don't know what my level was when I first found that door, but it must have been pretty low since I must have been killed about 20 times before winning the battle, then I had the rads to encounter. Fun times.
Not sure if it's been mentioned before, but if you follow the road around the bend near the Milton General Hospital billboard 2:00 you'll find the only Pawlowski Preservation Shelter in the game that advertises OTHER goods.
Pretty sure that fisherman at Covenant is actually just a random fisherman. Think theres a terminal entry about the covenant guards worrying about him being parked right on the compound entrance so they had to abort some runs there and were looking to maybe 'dispose' of him
They say he is a fisherman, but he has no fishing gear with him, no beer or fishing rod. He appears to be more a lookout until you get inside and hear what those folks think of him. But then I've done the same kind of thing IRL, just sitting near the water and enjoy the solitude.
@@edmartin875 Ed, while I appreciate your opinion and outlook, I'd make a recommendation to you. If you play again, or the next time that you do... while you are in Covenant if you read the restricted terminal it has an entry regarding the fisherman that you may find interesting.🙂 I do agree tho. Just seeing the scene, it doesn't look like he's prepared for fishing. And yeah, same here. I've just gone out and sat at the lake to take in the atmosphere and relax too. 🙂 👍
Thomas Xplores - Cool video! I have been playing for over 4 years and admit, I haven't payed much attention to Salem. I learned some things from you today! Thank you! LOL In that second discovery, where you were showing the mirelurk, and the supplies up on the billboard. I was reminded of the scene from the first *Tremors* movie. Where the man got chased up a pole, or tower of some sort, and the worm stuck around, waiting for him to come down. But the poor soul died of fright, and never came down!
There’s many more long form videos like this coming! So the mysteries/secrets continues aha! Loved that movie, haven’t heard it mentioned in ages, hank u :)
@@ThomasXplores Sounds great, I look forward to seeing them! Maybe... have to pause to watch them in intervals, but definitely look forward to it. It has to take quite a bit of time to put these together, that time and effort is VERY much appreciated! Thank YOU! And that movie was So Awesome. Especially for it's time. 😃
31:32 ish It's definitely surprising just how big cargo ships are. I remember seeing a nautical lock on a summer vacation once, and there was a cargo ship going through it. It was so long that I couldn't even see the ends of the ship looking at it from ground level!
@ThomasXplores id say it's up there with skyrim in terms of exploration and it's replay factor. No matter how much you play them, there is always something new that you missed in past play throughs.
42:00 Indeed! Even though I'd watched a clip about the museum and knew what was waiting, the jumpscares still came. I was twitching in my chair and my internal monologue was just a seagull on psycho screeching.
Those Sharkfins as you call them are actually Dolphins their tail flipper is flat and horizontal like a dolphins where a Sharks tail fin is flat and vertical.
I booted up my playthrough to follow along... first tank location didn't have a tank for me, and the fridge was a eye-bot station for finding items/ammo. Fun video!
I know there is a living ghoul in one of the Pulowski chambers - near DaimondCity/Goodneighbor in the large square with the ghoul infestation. The Brahmin makes me think it went upstairs and cows are notorious for not being able to go back down. Thinking it’s a reference to that.
I found a fisherman opposite side of the water to covenant. Was some power armour by the crash in the water as you run round the edge of that water too
Or Super Mutants, or Rust Devil robots or Scavengers or Raiders or Synths gen 1. And there is usually a fight going on or just finished with a survivor or two. I've found them all there over the years. If possible, I like to lure the Mirelurk Queen to enter the fight.
2:16 The easiest way to get up there is to use a jetpack. I'm starting to get the feeling a lot of people that play this game don't even know that jetpacks are a thing based on all the videos that say "only why to get up here is" or "the easiest way to get up here is" and never once mention the use of a jetpack.
There is a late game way to get a jetpack for Power Armor in game but the only way that I know of to get one not for Power Armor is a mod, one of the only three mods I use (jetpack, p-99 10mm pistol, and glowing bodies after a fight).
It only just occurred to me how absurd it is that there are skeletons laying around... like, everywhere 200 years after the fact. Big fan of the long videos.
Was wondering if u knew where the largest collection of those green footlockers are i have a camoflauge mod and they spawn in those and on gunners jus trying to collect them all
That's a good question, I know that nearly every gunner base/den on the freeway has several green gun cases! There definitely are some barracks with lots too! Try the national guard training yard or the barracks building north of Fort Hagen's Red Rocket! :)
1:01:00- "The EMP of the nucular blast-" Forgive me... but an electro-magnetic pulse... from a nuclear bomb? Okay, bombs may not be a topic that I'm super knowledgeable about, but am I the only one who thinks that might be a bit far-fetched? Oh, and I don't mean to sound mean or anything, just genuinely doesn’t make sense to me. (Love the videos, Thomas!)
Yes, I found this topic really interesting from many years ago! So a nuclear blast causes an EMP Burst, it's much more effective if detonated in high altitude, but a general ground blast can still cause one! When it comes to the Vertibirds/Stingrays, I'd say a combination of the blast, an emp on their instruments would've caused them to fall from the sky! Explains all of the Skylanes Planes that crashed too! Hank u :)
@@garettjohnson6978 YEAH, I WOULD SAY BARLY KNOWADGLEABLE. IT PISSES ME OF THAT YOU WOULD JUMP DOWN HIS THROAT ON A SUBJECT WE HAVE KNOWN SINCE NUKE TESTING INSTEAD OF GOOGLEING IT. this is why right wing news is able to flat out lie to people on their fake news network's. all their viewer's suffering from dunning kruger syndrome.
@@garettjohnson6978 wow you made yourself look like such an idiot. You should just delete your comment for how embarrassing it is. Probably would of been smart to have a basic understanding of how nukes work before talking out of your ass and being a know it all
You don't need exotic Power Armor to kill a cow trapped in a building. She barely has room to turn around and doesn't try to escape.@@cascadianrangers728
Alright, so I grew up outside of Boston (Arlington to be exact, very close) and yes, the Mystic river is in Medford. And for the longest time it smelled horrendous, like 💀 people and 💩. The running thought is Whitey Bulger left some folks to visit with the local wildlife.
The fisherman at covenant is really just a fisherman he has no ties to covenant the people there Don't even want to go near the compound with the fisherman near it
A fisherman with no fishing gear ? No fishing rod, no beer, actually, he has nothing but what he is wearing and his pipe pistol. He appears to be a lookout but those inside don't like him being there. So, I see him as more of a lonely old man taking in the view while remembering a lost love or mulling over the problems in his life.
Ii really wish that by end game you could recharge fusion cores somehow. By the end you could be so OP and just sell the 100’s of fusion cores you have and keep a solid 2/3 maybe
I'll probably use power armor to Jetpack up there next time that play Fallout friend of mine is borrow my system right now working with my wrestling game to make all my characters
I just started a new playthrough and I went to the Museum of Witchcraft to double check to see if the information was correct and actually discovered another hollowed out rock behind d the destroyed house beside the Museum. I may or may not have found it before I can't recall but just wanted to let you know about that one as well if you haven't discovered it on your own yet.
@@ThomasXplores Curious? When I went back they both were there. The one behind the gravestones and the one behind the ruined houses. I explore myself and this has me wanting to leave " no stone unturneed" LOL pun intended. 😁😆 I appreciate your channel so much. Most of what you discovered I have also but there are occasional things I have not or have forgotten. Thank you for your hard work providing useful information to us.

Same
Given the close proximity to the dunwich borrers,the Brahmin in the 1st floor could be a reference to the HP lovecraft book “dunwich horror” where one of the main characters feeds cows to a creature he is keeping on the 1st floor in his house.
So a Fusion Power Core can run a massive generator for 200+ years, but only works in Power Armor for a short time. Makes no sense.
I think somebody did the math and more or less checked out. Like considering most stuff, but lights, being fed by the generator got destroyed and no longer used power and how little power fluorescent lights used compared to moving something that lands at about half a tonne in the lighter end it more or less makes sense that FCs don't last that long in PA. Also, many places have multiple generators even when we only get to loot one.
Not to mention you're in PA that has to move, immediately update and monitor multiple pieces that are in various states of repair/disrepair...
Yes should get a day plus not like 2 in game hours of play
its for gameplay balancing
I know it's for game balance. But I'd say it makes perfect sense from a lore and engineering point of view. Remember that power armour was still relatively new technology in 2077. New technology is always lacking efficiency. Look at the internal combustion engine in its first 15/20 years.

Did not know about that door under the bridge by coastal cottage. Now I gotta go check it out
This one is full of surprises! Enjoy :)
I don't know what my level was when I first found that door, but it must have been pretty low since I must have been killed about 20 times before winning the battle, then I had the rads to encounter. Fun times.
Not sure if it's been mentioned before, but if you follow the road around the bend near the Milton General Hospital billboard 2:00 you'll find the only Pawlowski Preservation Shelter in the game that advertises OTHER goods.
The guy on the Billboard reminded me of tremors
His name was Old Fred.
Pretty sure that fisherman at Covenant is actually just a random fisherman. Think theres a terminal entry about the covenant guards worrying about him being parked right on the compound entrance so they had to abort some runs there and were looking to maybe 'dispose' of him
I just finished a run on Covenant. Yup, he's just some guy who happens to like to fish there.
Yeah I'm surprised he doesn't know that
They say he is a fisherman, but he has no fishing gear with him, no beer or fishing rod. He appears to be more a lookout until you get inside and hear what those folks think of him. But then I've done the same kind of thing IRL, just sitting near the water and enjoy the solitude.

The costal hideout was one my favorite conquest mod building locations.
The “Atomic Cocktails” in new Vegas is a reference to an actual bar in Las Vegas called “atomic liquors”.

It's definitely surprising just how big cargo ships are.

Love your content mate! I've played the hell out of FO4, but there are always places I didn't know about. Always makes me want to start playing again!
Hank u man! The game is becoming a timeless classic! :)

There’s a live goul in the preservation tube in College Square.
I knew there must've been one! Hank u Janette :)
I was gonna coment the same thing because I found it one day while wandering around College Square
Those Sharkfins as you call them are actually Dolphins their tail flipper is flat and horizontal like a dolphins where a Sharks tail fin is flat and vertical.
So they aren't Sharkfins, they're Dorks.
@@robertmagill6005 dorsal yes ❤
Its a mix between shark and dolphin. Sharkphin. Dumbass..

Cheers man! Appreciate it! Hank u :)
I booted up my playthrough to follow along... first tank location didn't have a tank for me, and the fridge was a eye-bot station for finding items/ammo. Fun video!
The first tank can be a random encounter! I’ll be doing a more comprehensive video on the tanks! Hank u :)
It would have been great to have the abilities to mess with gunners communication and interact with locations more. Instead of "go, loot, kill, base."
I know there is a living ghoul in one of the Pulowski chambers - near DaimondCity/Goodneighbor in the large square with the ghoul infestation. The Brahmin makes me think it went upstairs and cows are notorious for not being able to go back down. Thinking it’s a reference to that.
That a favored sniping location for me so I generally kill the Brahmin immediately to get her out of my way.
There is an safe behind desc of diner where queen spawns and laser weapon.Also in Nahant chapel has treasure chest in second floor.
I found a fisherman opposite side of the water to covenant. Was some power armour by the crash in the water as you run round the edge of that water too
Nice to come back to your explorations.
I've a big one like this in the works :)
At the bar near croup manor I usually find either gunners, children of atom or brotherhood soldiers
Or Super Mutants, or Rust Devil robots or Scavengers or Raiders or Synths gen 1. And there is usually a fight going on or just finished with a survivor or two. I've found them all there over the years. If possible, I like to lure the Mirelurk Queen to enter the fight.
