Fallout's Mysterious Great Game: Who Are The Other Players? | Fallout Lore
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- In the irradiated swamplands of Point Lookout, a rivalry more than two hundred years in the making, reaches it’s bitter end.
Desmond Lockhart, a pre-war British ghoul and former spy vs Professor Calvert, a brilliant government scientist, reduced to a power-hungry brain in a jar.
As is so often the case, its up to the Lone Wanderer to decide who wins but this rivalry wasn’t just born out of a mutual dislike.
As both characters are players in a much larger game. Fallout’s Great Game, a kill or be killed conflict between the last vestiges of the old world’s pre-war elite who all managed to find ways to cheat death, and continue playing.
In todays video we revisit the conflict between the two players we know, the factions involved, the events which take place and all of the potential endings. Before finishing with some theories over who the other players may be.

On the one hand, House would think the game is beneath him
On the other hand, he is a sucker for pre-war nostalgia
“The best way to win a war is not to play” house would definitely be the type of guy to follow this
@@redwiltshire1816he would pull out some figurative popcorn and watch the fireworks.
Agree 👍@@LordDaret
Then again, if you're a "Tony Stark" kinda guy, maybe competing with contemporaries is just the outlet you're looking for.
The House Always Wins.
House also seems the sort not to play, but also would have many associates who would be involved and be a thorn in House's side, forcing him to be involved
I’ve never really thought much about it before but it must be miserable to go from a living breathing human being before the war, to losing your body and becoming nothing more than a brain floating in a jar for hundreds of years in a world completely torn apart and ruined by nukes.
As someone with a failing body and more health complications and body aches then i care for, who is currently hoping robot bodys become a thing in my short time left. I gotta say, there are deffinetly atleast a few of us who would love being able to exsist as an unfeeling brain in a jar. Make me a robobrain and start calling me tin can, ill consider it a gift.
@@timlaffin6758I imagine it would be a total mindfuck. You’d probably be comatose for a while just trying to grasp at what you now are.
As the heads in a jar in Futurama said "As a disembodied head in a jar, I envy the dead"
being a robobrain whit mine memories intact no problim ore what mr house got going on
but being just a brain no way to interact whit anything i think u would just break after a amount of time
Would prefer to be in that state than current physical state, and i'm not even joking lol
My guess is that Mobius was the main one part of the Great game in the think tank
He seems the most agreeable! It’s interesting would love to learn more about each member as they were pre-war.
I think morbius was there with his morb orb
It's not morbin time@@attackboss6
@@thebluemidget4909 its morbing time!
@@thebluemidget4909 It is indeed morbing time.
The Mysterious Stranger is not likely a player in the Great Game.
That is- if he WAS a time traveler.
If he was a player with the ability to time travel, he would have went back and killed all other players before the game would have even started.
Also seemingly he can appear out of nowhere, and with the combat skill he has, killing other players seems like a easy feat.
@@user-tl3fv5ub6emore likely the Mysterious Stranger as a time traveler would be guiding the player specifically. After all you never see him fighting against you in combat, only with you.
@@LordDaret I meant players as in players of the big game. What this video is talking about
But where is the fun in that? Killing your oponent before they become a worthwhile Rival would be terribly boring.
Unless of course several of those players are his ancestors and he's not sure which ones.
"The Great Game" is a euphemism for espionage and covert operations to further the goals of Nations and, sometimes, singular people.
But it's mostly espionage, sometimes for the sake of espionage.
Desmond is a fromer agent of some nation and he is hunting down the last couple of adversaries of his time as one before the war, probably to settle old scores.
I don't know if you knew that, but if you did, you should have mentioned what the great game is.
It's more of a nod mate, 'The Great Game' IRL was a very specific conflict between the British and Russian Empires in the 19th century over their holdings in Asia. All done via proxies and espionage and didn't boil over into direct war between them. In Fallout it's clearly a reference to that but doesn't seem to be nation specific, rather its powerful individuals. As Desmond is British I doubt it was a conflict between the US and England.
@@UraniumFever76 I thought any goodwill between the us and england had worn away by the time of the great war? Am I mistaken? Great video though
@@aa-tr9xt Thanks! No you aren't, and I would have to double check this, but from memory the Resource Wars in Europe was mostly infighting between European nations and then taking a leaf of the US's book after invading Mexico, a 'European Commonwealth' invaded the Middle East for resources. After that the US annexed Canada and then obviously the Sino-American war. I think the details are left deliberately light but the inference to me at least, was the UK wouldn't have been much of a player on the international stage compared to the US.
Everyone has a "Great Game" they play, and some are greater than others.
@@UraniumFever76 The 'Great Game' in the fallout context likely is a reference to this and would have similarities. We know Desmond is British and likely MI6 and is working against Americans, who weren't on the best of terms with Europe pre war as far as we know. From this it can be assumed through Occams Razor (which is a weapon in fallout 3 btw look it up) that the pre war UK and US were engaged in espionage battles, over what or why though we do not know.
I love how the TV show has this exact thing as _the main plot._
Its the main plot of fallout 2 and 3 as well. Its the end state of unregulated capitalism - the State is the Company and the Companies are the state. The Shareholders are Officeholders - ending the resource war with a peace and the introduction of 2 (2!) successful cold fusion generators from both Moldaver and Mass Fusion would have destroyed the political and economic basis of the whole system
For the Buisnessmen and Government officials, it wad either social revolution leading to their execution, or dropping the bomb and starting fresh
Probably easily one of my favorite ghoul characters. He just give no slags about it.
Considering this and the video EpicNate released, I believe the great game is far larger than even Desmond knows. Shadow governments, aliens, eldritch entities, strangers, and some lucky or unlucky nobodies; who knows how big the great game really is? It may also be a clever way for the devs to pat them selves on the back for the back story they have written.
What vid did Nate talk about it?
@@dominickruziki2281It is more of the implications of this video and Nates latest video about Dunwich. Also considering how Bethesda likes to write complex background stories that are not directly told to the player but are inferred, an allegory, or played out in a smaller scale for the player to interact with.
@@theULTIMATElife50
Writing direct stories: (Bethesda) -I sleep
Writing Indirect stories: (Bethesda) Real shit
@@ednaldopreira oh yeah, from gotta find muh dad to gotta find muh son, such an indirect storytelling.
Tzeentch: JUST AS Planned
I strongly feel that the show using the words "The great game" during the corporate cabal meeting with a shadowy figure looking down(representative of the enclave imo) was meant to be a direct reference to this.
I was thinking about that myself, that maybe these are members of the game or people who found out about the game and started "playing" themselves in hopes of controlling the future if they win.
I know!! That was a pleasant surprise. I might have to do an update at some point!
@@UraniumFever76 yes you certainly should! I'd be back
I love this mod it makes point lookout fresh but still has its classic charm
Took me a while before i first realised it was a mod, and even longer before my brain accepted it was one. 😂
@@ErectedGasCan same here mate
My PC When I run a single mod: 💨💨🔥
@@user-uv2bd7ee3q I know what you mean I could fry eggs on it
House is absolutely the kind of guy who would high-mindedly claim to be above such trivialities, but would absolutely turn all of his power towards it if he found another viable player. Its basically what he does in the Mojave already, he just does it with people and groups that haven't been around as long as him.
On the contrary, I think Desmond was a jet addict and was talking bollocks.
Lore is weird on that obsidian lore most chems don't work on ghouls like med x and jet
Then you got Bethesda lore drugs for everyone
I think only ultrajet works
Who else was a jet addict but could tell the future 😮 maybe it helped him since he was a ghoul
@@silent_hunter515 Bethesda lore developed ultra jet for ghouls iirc, I think there's a side quest in 3 where a ghoul asks you to get jet and some other item to create ultra jet cause regular jet doesn't do anything for him
The occultists are a bigger deal than you gave them credit for though. The greatest disappointment in the community is no New Vegas dlc mod adding the ancient city beneath the Mojave, accessed via the Divide.
I do think they are a pretty big deal I just don't think characters like Desmond or Calvert (and presumably other players of the Great Game) would have known how powerful they were or what they were really up to. Dunwich pre-war kept what they were doing very very quiet and the Cabots although very wealthy and influential in Boston society, kept their immortality a secret. Jack faked his own death several times, then posed as a new distant relative to inherit the family property.
I loved that the fallout tv show addressed the great game and what it was but am sad that not many are talking about it. I loved that the great game was as many predicted the great game of survival saying that "you can be the richest person in the world when all other rich people are dead"
People are too busy screeching that the show retconned new vegas. It didn't, but that's what morons think cuz people online told them it did.
@@Shredow2fr if people want this franchise to carry on going places they need to allow it to grow and stop whining
I didn't even notice! Was it during the secret cabal meeting?
@@MisterHPlays yup the vaulttec mr house meeting
@Shredow2 It did recon by moving Shady Sands location...but every single Fallout since Fallout 2 has recons so i dunno why the show is such an issue
Definitely think House could've been a member of the Great Game. It makes too much sense for a man of his caliber, but I'm not terribly sure about Bradburton. If he truly were a member of the Great Game, he wouldn't have been sidelined by the Walt Disney treatment(I had to make the reference, lol). He would've had plans in place, a wider network or some way to control things.
That being said, I feel like the Great Game would've had maybe only one person from each nation. Perhaps some sort of Illuminati or Freemason-adjacent shadow organization? Calvert was the American member, Lockhart was the British/U.K. member. Braun could be another one, being the German member, but I don't think he would fit. He's content to play god in his simulation, he has no ulterior motives for the world at large. He doesn't even seem to care about the Vault Experiments themselves, and he's "supposedly" a large driving force behind a lot of them.(I could be confusing actual lore with lore-friendly mods here).
Of course, if my hypothesis is true, that leaves us to question how many "nations" took part in this Game, but it's a possibility, even if it's a small one.
I totally understand what you are saying about Bradberton. What I would say though, is taking in to account what he thought he was getting from this deal; a living biosuit that would allow him to function as normal. He was fiercely competitive and awful lol but how his ambition would have translated to a post-war environment I'm unsure. The Great Game as a concept is a nod to the proxy conflict between the British and Russian empires in the 19th century, but I feel like in Fallout it's more focussed on individuals rather than institutions.
bradburton was very close to having his own new vegas hey had a robot army (hey clearly got because hey saw the nukes coming), clone machine , secret science team if hey had enough charisma his former employees turnt ghouls so sad to see the potential wasted of nuka world
After having finished the Fallout show already: 👀👀
@@jromero9795 looks like I was right about other high ranking Vault-Tec members after all lol
Not all players of the great game were competent, I feel a lot of them, for all their money and political power, forgot they were just men.
Do you think Desmond agreed to test the intentional ghoulification process on Eddie Winter just so he would know it wouldn't kill him?
I could definitely see that being plausible. I would love to know how many people did this, I can only think of two at the moment.
I made a theory ages ago that house was part of the great game, I'm glad someone else not only sees the same thing as I but also expands upon it and shines light on things I never thought about.
Thanks mate, I think there's a good chance he would have been. But only in terms of protecting his own interests.
I like the idea IF Mr. House is participant in Desmonds entante game then Mr. House views this as "a simple side quest I can do once Mojave is free from NCR and Legion"
If Mr. House ending ends up being canon, would be cool to be his employee and help him finish this lil game
Desmond would 100% be a side quest for him haha I am hoping his ending is canon actually.
Cabot, think tank, and house. If the story permits maybe someone in the divide if anyone survived. Also he is British. So maybe someone from the other countries as well. Also do program on civil war. NCR vs the east coast bos. Might be a good video.
Braun probably wouldn't because he's too arrogant to play with others and tricked the General who previously had the resources to build the Vault under threat of convincing-lie, which sadly all Vault were built ON! Barberton, or Mr. Soda in my head, would be beneath notice to many players except to House, Vault Tec Pres and Finance.Advisor, due to their different built minds. This is simply a game of who has the bigger cock and gets to rule the wasteland like a God in their petty delusions while aware that people suffer is actually HAPPINESSS?!
I used the “game” as inspiration for a homebrew campaign in NYC. Decided one guy tried FEV to become immortal and now rules the whole enchilada.
Never could decide on a good name though.
The big applesauce
I'm writing an RPG inspired by the fallout universe where you would play as NASA and have to survive after a nuclear war before escaping to Mars, long story short you'd have spies and assassins after you the whole way trying to get you and the space program back in line
Appleopolous
New new york
Empire row
Old Albany
Cab city
Gabagool
Core city
Huh, you might get a thing or 12 out of the deux ex franchise. Hard recommend.
Im interested how Mr house will play a role in season 2 of the show
Whoever voiced Desmond, is giving me Saint Jiub vibe.
God i miss Big MT.
"No! Outside is death!
Despite mounting evidence to the contrary!"
House may not personally seek to abuse others, his ideology is nonetheless abusive through its callous negligence.
This is a great video man I love when you discuss lore
Really appreciate that mate, got more videos on the way!
@@UraniumFever76 Thats great to hear :)
I'd love to see Desmond in Fallout Lοndon
They should totally put him in there
Fantastic video man, you really brought some new information that I think most people haven’t heard or paid attention too
Thanks mate! Really appreciate that and thank you for checking the video. I really enjoyed making this one, as this questline was one of my favourites.
I love the various ways the contestants of the great game learned how to extend their lifespan. Desmond became a Ghoul, House preserves his whole body, The Think Tank and Prof. Calvert preserve their brains.
It seems the Fallout Show has finally somewhat awnsered this
When he said limey i intently hated him
He sealed his death there for me too lol
That made me love him. Would've sided with the brain if I could lol
@@spiffygonzales5160Could you not?
@@nighteye4042 yeah but he backstab you after
@@imnotaracistokay Ah, never ended that way, didn't know that
21:28 I’ve got 100% on fallout 3 and didn’t know you could see the geck in game
Yeah its a bit tricky though as Fawkes normally fetches it for you lol think I had gone back with god mode on to get the shot of it opening up!
Oh man, I hope that Desmond is at least referenced in Fallout London.
Me too mate, me too.
So whos here after finishing the show
I'm glad I posted this video when I did!
Went that scene played it nuked my mind
If you only know fallout because it went to tv then you're not a true fan and don't belong. We don't want you
@@TheBIGB420 cringe, bet you don't bathe or pay taxes.
33:53 whoaaaaa i forgot Danny Trejo was in this game
Great job and great cinematics. More vids like this please.
Thank you very much! Hoping to release one every Sunday moving forwards
The detail work on that 10 mm you're using is great
Love it, only through is that Mr. House is still part of the great game. The great game is basically about politics and statecraft, and he runs the whole strip which is really influential.
Yeah I could definitely see that being the case! I think he would be as soon as he's wrapped up the business with the platinum chip.
@@UraniumFever76 True, like that would be his way back into the game in ernest.
The great game is played by "powerful" people the elites just like irl and consider a "conspiracy theory" that the factions, gangs, groups & cults in various Companies & Governments are also playing such a game and the game is who gets the world.
Nice work!
Thanks mate!
I would like to see more of this part of the lore expanded.
Agreed hoping for something in Fallout 5!
Great video and it’s kinda neat to have these types of fan theories and thought experiments. I think Bradberton being a part of the great game actually makes some sense. I’d be inline with his character and Desmond does say he needs to “head north” when you last speak to him so I can definitely see that. House tho I really don’t see, he says it himself that he doesn’t care what other people do and just wants to advance the world for what he sees as the better. And while I don’t think everyone out there both in game/lore or even fan wise agree with House’s goals, he doesn’t strike me as someone who would care about something like the Great Game.
Thank you! Appreciate you checking out the video. Bradberton also had his own private army in Nuka World with all of the very advanced robots. I think the next stages of House's plan after New Vegas could include eliminating anyone who would stand in his way of one day building colony ships to escape Earth (interestingly a very similar to the motivation of the Enclave). But yeah don't think it would be like Desmond or Calvert crossing names off a kill list per say lol.
Am I about to replay fallout 3 again just because I don't remember this cool mission from over a decade ago
Hey if you are on PC maybe give the Fallout 4 version a try!
Bethesda had so much potential to use this concept to flesh out pre war america
but of course they didn't lol
Like so many other ideas. I'm still pissed they never followed up the Nick/Kellog thing, love far harbor, but wish we got a conclusion there.
I wonder if The Great Game might be some international political shenanigans continued. Our rude Ghoul is a military intelligence agent; the refers to The Great Game as a "microcosm" which is a smaller version of a larger thing (school is a microcosm of society, for example). Perhaps there are a few international movers-and-shakers connected to the intelligence world still trying to bump each other off. Perhaps when he says he's going North, he's going to find his ghoulified opp in Canada? I don't think it's the sort of thing House would get involved in, he is in a totally different gamespace
Just pre war loose ends being tied up
I think Daniel Littlehorn the guy you meet by taking the Contract Killer perk has a hand in the great game as well, his dialogue when you inquire about why he wants random peoples ears implies as much.
I bet Eddie Winter would have played the Game had he not been taken off the board.
Yeah not really sure what his goals are post-war. Kind of just surviving I guess?
Eddie Winter is not the espionage type or big thinker. He's just a survivor.
He couldn't even conceive of what the Great Game is.
I guess the real question I really want to ask is, what does our secret agent Ghoul even want out of this Great Game? Is he just tying off loose ends because they’re all he has left? Or does he believe the people he kills off are potential, existential threats to Humanity in the long run?
@thenthapple talked about the great game years ago and this is the only other video I've seen about it since
Did he really? I will have to check his video out! Like you said I havent seen it covered much so would be interested to see what he made of it.
Despite having played F3 100% throu more times than I can remember, I can't recall at all the fact that Calber was able to speak to us via his mind.
The Cabot Family definitely were players especially Lorenzo and Jack.
I wonder if the folks of Fallout london will make a nod to old ghoul agent
I'm not sure if the Fallout show is canon, but a certain scene in that show may refer to the Great Game
Love the channel bro♥️
Thanks mate! Appreciate you checking the video
The Mysterious Stranger, i think he's just a guy trying to lookout for people. Maybe even some kind of role passed on to different people throughout the post-war wasteland? They potentially stick around the Lone Wanderer/Courier etc as they recognise them as someone very important, a mover/shaker who's changing things up?
Also amusingly his influence extends past Fallout into other games where similar characters exist, like Middle-Earth: Shadow of War with Forthog Orc-Slayer showing up to save Talion, always mysteriously showing up to help. Just like the stranger.
Just to add on. In the new 76 update there’s a unfinished thank you note on the overseer’s wife’s terminal in vault 63 to prof. Calvert and mentions a discussion presumably the three of them had over dinner at some event and it also mentions Desmond and the fact the Calvert tampered with his invite to the event or long those lines. Seems like Bethesda could be playing with the idea of further releasing lore around the great game
maybe you get luck from cannibalizing mr house w/ meat of champions because, oh, I dunno, he owns VEGAS??? And all its casinos?That’s like Vegas’ whole thing. I don’t think it has anything to do with house himself being lucky
It seems to me that if Robert House was a player in the Great Game, then at some point he said:
“Not bad, I guess I’ll pass.”.
And left his seat at the table to play his game on the sidelines.
Or perhaps (given his character it is more than possible) - he always played a game of his own, not wanting to be part in the delusional projects of the Enclave and Vault-Tec (and others).
The Mysterious stranger is, obviously, the god emperor of mankind (to be).
More like Cypher the Fallen Angel!
the mysterious stranger could be a time traveller or a secret organization like they teleport around just like how the institute would and since there is a mysterious magnum in new vegas so might be not prewar
He was going North after one of his rivals. Maybe there were ideas of making one of the Institute a player of the Great Game that were cut or something? Or maybe he was going after Bradberton before learning that his foe wasn't in the game anymore.
I’m think that the mysterious stranger is an organization of people that operate across the US that have gained magical powers (Similar to Oswald the Outrageous from Nuka World) and have people that like Mama Murphy, have “the sight” that is used to identify key figures that will affect the course of the wastes that the Mysterious Strangers will protect.
"his business is beyond my understanding"
>I have 11 INT
I doubt that
*I shoot Desmond in the face for withholding information*
Good vid I'm thinking about subbing
Lol as someone from Maryland id like to clear up a common misconception with its pronunciation. Its Mare-lend, ive heared people from the US call it Mary-land so you're not alone 😂
Lol I've learnt the hard way! Of course its one those where in the UK we also have a Maryland (multiple) and is definitely not pronounced like that. But you've got to go with the one in question! I will be making sure to get that right in future!
@@UraniumFever76 haha it's really no big deal, thats cool that yall have Marylands too!
This was a great video.
Thanks very much! Appreciate you checking it out 😊
God i love these vids they help me sleep
I think that the Mysterious Stranger has his explanation in Fallout 76...specifically through the Order of Mysteries. Although the agents of their group were all women, we see a similarity in the weapons, tactics, and even the name given to the Mysterious Stranger. I would be willing to bet that the Mysterious Stranger is actually a group, and that they either come from survivors of the betrayal of the Order - possibly even Frederick Rivers, the sole male member - or someone who found the Order's headquarters later, as the player does, and copied their tech and training.
I'd love to see more videos of this nature.
Working on the next one at the moment!
Damn , this guy making a run at ox.... well done sir. Pretty rare i see somebody put out fallout lore content on par with ox...i might prefer this presentation better actually.
Thanks a lot mate, that's a really nice comment. Ox is a legend! I'm glad you enjoyed it, working on some more. Hoping to do one a week.
A bit of a pickle, hm? I see what you did there ;) - Well done!
Haha it lined up nicely!
What makes a gifted killer like you into a hardened badass like me?!
Radiation?
The “y” is silent in pronouncing “Maryland.” So it’s like, “MARE-lynn’D”
Simular to how you properly pronounce Baltimore its pronounced baldmore people from Maryland seem to hate the I sound
Welp tv shows out and it seems like this vids due an update. We just got a name and face to a bunch of the players
This video just shows how awesome the voice acting is in the game
I think Desmound would very much get a lot of information from the think tank, since he could remind them quite strongly about the past, they would tell him everything he need know about lunch codes and other possible players, and I think the goal of the great game is simply to eliminate and neutralise other attendees as the world to them is serve on a silver plate.
also I can imagine house would be the toughest opponent Desmound would face, house has pretty much succeeded on his own goals, and it very likely house would either give desmound what he wants, or offer the ghoul the opportunity to work with him in the shaping of the world
I never really enjoyed the point lookout dlc but its nice that it has deep lore connections
What about Tenpenny? I know it does not really fit him, but u think, especially with three easy he treats the people below his tower, he feels like a player.
I think he would be a post-war player for sure. He has some seriously big ambitions for the Wasteland.
@@UraniumFever76 Yeah. Maybe more players got added.
I feel like there’s two Games running in sync. The Pre-War Game, with Desmond and the other survivors. It’s got a shrinking player group, and they all play for keeps. The Post-War Game is possibly what Tenpenny is playing. A different group of players, with the same motivations but maybe slightly less “at any cost” survival instincts. I can’t see Tenpenny ghoulifing himself just to get an edge on the others; but there’s multiple Pre-War individuals that did horrific things to themselves to see the other side of the war and keep going.
I feel like the Pre-Game players have a slight superiority complex over the Post-Game players, like grown adults or old survivors of crime families watching children play at Cops & Robbers.
Maybe the great game was pre war espionage, and this is the last of those involved settling who’s gonna live
Point lookout is one of my alltime favorite Fallout storylines
what pistol mod are you using? that thing looks awesome
We wouldn't be so lucky to have a good central plot for Fallout 5.
No, Bethesda will have to remind us again how much they really want to make another Terminator game with the base game and leave all the good bits for DLCs...
I believe there is one person you might’ve forgotten that is not on the list the name to add to your list of people who might’ve been a participant in the great game I believe a good candidate was Frederick Sinclair He had lots of political and financial power as well as many things I believe he would personally fit in perfectly.
A quote for on the mysterious stranger in Fallout 1 “I don’t talk much”
There should have been an option to turn the Nuka-Cola guy into a synth now that I think about it
I'm more curious to know where Desmond went after.
He mentions going north to pursue his next target, and I've always been so curious about that. Almost as if it is some kind of long tease. Plus, he's a ghoul, so we may yet see him in the future.
I hope so, as I've always had a soft spot for no-nonsense, hard-ass characters like Desmond.
Is the proffesor's voice the same one as the one that does the Darlek one??
Nicholas Briggs? I don't think so but I will check!
masterpiece
I made so many moonshine runs to Point lookout
Thank you! Point Lookout is one of my favourite DLCs
@@UraniumFever76 fallout 3 is easily my favorite games, keep up the content man its class
I just finished watching The fallout show and I think there's a reference to the great game in there
Is it just me or does the "You will suffer. You will all suffer." Line sound like it's a reference to Jon in BG2?
What did you know
Lol what do you mean?
Ohhhh…. The TV series lmao? I just finished watching it
@@UraniumFever76yeah lol
Tracked this video down cuz I was like damn I just saw a video on this recently
So... House had the same endgame as vault tec?
I believe the experiments in the vaults were (at the beginning) executed to test different extreme situations in an enclosed space (spaceship/spacestation) because they believed the great war is inevetable.
The show kinda retconed this unfortunatly... always gave the Zetans a bigger role in the shadows... hope they kinda hint on that and dont retcon it copletly
Mr House is my favourite character in fallout, definitely the best faction to side with!
It's possible Bradberton and General Braxton were players in the game, from what Desmond said about sabotaging the presidential cantidate it's possible it was going on pre-war
Jack Cabot would have dabbled in this "great game" if only for the sake of checking threats against his own plans. Lorenzo Cabot was taken off the board long before the bombs dropped, but if he is set free, that changes.
I love the swamp people, hillbilly ogres are pretty funny. Anyway I think Mr House is obviously a good pick for the great game when you first think about it......however, the longer you think the less sense it seems to make, I doubt House would care to play deeming it unworthy of his attention, house also makes it clear what his goals for the post war world were and how he wants to achieve them
Now I'm imagining all these pre-war movers and shakers meeting at a gala or something a few months before the War.
Bradberton and House were just about to get put into their coccoons, Desmond was toying with radiation treatments, and everyone else was thinking about the best way to put their brain in a jar.
Mate haha that's a great image. Would love there to be a pre-war scene in something like that at some point. Maybe in the tv show? I'm sure all these characters would have brushed shoulders at some point.
Perhaps I missed you talking about this, but I believe M.O.D.U.S. could and would be one of the largest players in the Great Game. I believe he mentions a sort of "Game" that they and the Enclave were involved in, and similar to everybody else- got turned into Robobrains or brains in jars that control a facility.
Surprised you didn't do this in Fallout 3
I've actually never heard the theory that The Mysterious Stranger is a time traveller before
the strangers are a group and they come to the aid of those who will one day join them.
Loved the video, would absolutely love to see Desmond return.
But as for Robert House, he just has no interest in such a petty matter. Its beneath him and his lofty goals.
