Bethesda really saw the potential the Minutemen had and thought: "Yeah, let's NOT use that"
its so intertwined with the location too but its so half assed 😭
@@lloydmartel thats all of f04. i love it, but its so half baked
the point is for it to be a blank slate for the player so they can create there own story for the faction
@@Godat153 thats lazy as hell. id take that as an excuse from a developer that has a team of 5. Bethesda had MILLIONS to spend and hundreds of programers, story boarders, artistic designers to flesh out the commonwealth. i LOVE fo4, playing a modded run rn, but it is a half baked and lazy game. especially compared to its predecessors
@@AllisonSmith-gi7bh well personally, I like the idea of being able to make your own story for the faction, I like that freedom the player is given for the Faction and that they can do whatever they want with it
I like this idea of minutemen becoming a big enough faction to have shady sands style cities where they teach the history of the minutemen in the classrooms
Or that they rebuild sanctuary completely using scrap and stuff from a similar looking neighbourhood owned by supermutents
@@taffingtonboathouse5754i like to imagine sanctuary hills having legends about cursed houses with ghost's of pre war People living in houses that were built on the same spot ghosts lived once. Vault 111 becoming museum or mass grave. And people coming to the cryo capsule where SS spouse laying in and bringing flowers to it as an act of respect
@alexref6074 the church of the vault, when the sole survivor died he gets put in his cryo pod forever he gets worshipped by sanctuary residents
@@taffingtonboathouse5754 wow
Nate really went from dancing to war crimes in Canada to building a faction of 1 dude into the East coast equivalent of the NCR
Mf is a definition of "we work to earn the right to work"
love the more “gentlemanly” look of the minuteman during the institute war and then the sudden, kevlar armor and more attention to armor for the second gunner war
It's the American way of learning from your enemies and practically giving them a taste of their own medicine
my own lore would be, after somehow winning against the institute and pushing back the gunners out of the commonwealth they had managed to gain access to surplus of combat equipment and the means to produce more from the tech acquired from the institue. from that point on they minutemen'd all over the place from the sands of Nuka world to the dangerous seas of Far harbor bringing peace and unity with them
@@Z4rius I still think they should wear 18th century hats and coats
@@Z4riusalso using a robots from mechanist facility.
Minutemen uniforms during the
“Minutemen-Legion war”
And “Cold War with NCR” 😉
Minuteman-Legion War is just the battle of the larpers
don't see how this makes sense tbh
Minutemen are just independence war larpers
The Legion probably would dissapear once Caesar dies, and as we saw in the TV Show the NCR is too much weakened for them to make a second wave of expansion
@@nosense8744lanius is the successor of Cesar if he took hold the legion could possibly holdout and could become stronger under his rules
Minutemen would probably retain the original attire for senior commanders below the rank of general with combat armor plates underneath for protection (like general clothing) and most minutemen retaining the hats but wearing helmets underneath them.
In the end, the Minutemen end up reaching a more organized position thanks to the help of the only survivor who could train other higher positions, Preston and Dance could be one of them and eventually reach the level of the RNC
I think the Minuteman hat might stick around for service and other more formal uniforms, but they would be abandoned for combat uniforms. Having to wear both a hat and helmet would be too cumbersome and provide little value to the troops.
If the hat is attached to the outside of the helmet, it should not be more than a decorative piece and these could also be equipped with railroad fiber mesh which at high levels provides more protection than any other helmet, although it is more likely that they will only be used outside. combat or by certain troops such as the scout
Even if they end up as an RNC, I don't think they are going to leave the color blue on their uniforms either
@@doubtitt But think of the morale the sight of the hat would have on your men! THE HAT!!!!!
This, but the general is still a half naked popsicle wearing bloodied rebars and a vault suit that hasn't been washed in 210 years
This is lowkey underrated video to be honest. The storytelling done by simple clothing is great.
Very cool. What I consider to be my personal canon play through I played as regular vanilla Nate, and ended up choosing Minutemen and I like to think down the line after the events of the main game, things would be like this where under Nate’s leadership the Minutemen become a more standardized professional army and push out the brotherhood, gunners and raiders and successfully creates the Commonwealth Provisional Government, with him becoming the first President, leaving Preston or someone to oversee the Minutemen and the Railroad becoming something more like the CIA since the institute is no longer a threat. Institute Refugees can fill roles in the new government as well as maybe starting something like the CDC. The whole of Boston eventually being made livable so it’s not just people living in Goodneighbor and Diamond City. Maybe by the end of the Sole Survivors life time, the CPA has grown to encompass most of New England, maybe even some expeditions being made into NYC.
My vision is pretty similar with the main difference probably being the role of the Railroad and Minutemen. I also used vanilla Nate as the Sole Survivor to make things feel more grounded and less like a fan-fic. If you're interested in that I got some videos on my channel that explores the lore I've built up.
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching.
I feel like this faction has a lot more potential than what was used. They could've at least given them their own iconic uniform that gives you the American Revolution vibe. Instead, they just gave them brown clothes that looks like something a homeless person would wear.
God bless the minutemen
and Caesar's Legion!
and the Brotherhood!
And the NCR!
And the Enclave!
and another settlement needs your help..
As a fellow minuteman, i salute you
Thanks. Also this video was partially inspired by your Fallout uniform videos so thanks for making those lol.
Yes, a fellow Minuteman, I salute yall
This is really neat. An idea for a follow-up might be to get a full 360 view in good light of each version so we can see them better, perhaps accompanied by some dialogue explaining the changes and what drove them- ex. access to new materials and equipment or the need to adapt to new environments. Really neat look, and I like the sense of history! It's always nice to see someone else who loves the Minutemen as much as I do :)
Originally the video was going to have text to explain some of the lore behind the changes, but to keep things short and simple I left it out.
In the future I do intend to make an updated version with more uniforms, text, and I think dialogue would be interesting as well.
Right now I have plans for a longer video that explores the Gunner Wars/Military Reformation and another video in this style, but for the Commonwealth Army (The Minutemen are sort of a weird mix between the Army Rangers and Marines in this timeline)
If you're curious about the lore I've built up, I do have a longer video that explores the timeline and gives a better view of what's going in the Commonwealth as a whole. However, that video's quality is a bit lacking imo since it was rushed and tried to fit too much history in too little time. Other than that, thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback. Stay tuned if you'd like to see more Fallout content (though keep in mind that I do post non-Fallout related content as well).
@@doubtitt not sure if it’s possible but if you do happen to make mods you should make custom minutemen vehicles, not playable or anything but just props
also maybe you could make settlement builds and also custom settlement “battles”
by battles i mean making a custom settlement via mods and decorating and building it as if it was a active combat zone/frontline
@@bluscout1857 I think there's some vehicles mods on Nexus already.
Originally I did intend to make the background more lively by adding in some NPCs and decorating a little bit, but I also saw this as a simple project mostly just for my self that I wouldn't spend much time on.
I thought it would get 20 views max so I didn't see much point into pouring hours into it. Had I known that it would get thousands of views, I probably would have put in more effort and taken more time to make things look nicer. If I remake this video in the future, then I'll definitely make sure that things look a lot more clean, alive, and polished like the ArmchairHistorian video's that inspired it.
@@doubtitt well just so you know, i’ll be there when you remake this because i *love* stuff like this (:
also a idea i had for a possible part of your lore, after 2352 the institute could re-emerge or get discovered, however this time they would be different, far different than the old institute
basically the backstory is that after the sole survivor destroyed the institute the institute remnants would flee from boston all together, after 9 months of traveling the commonwealth they would come across old enclave remnants, mostly consisting of scientists/engineers and only a few soldiers, after a awkward and aggressive confrontation they eventually worked out their beef, the general of the enclave and the head scientist of the institute both decided to join together to survive, they named themselves the “institution of America” it would start out extremely small, both sides had barely any equipment and such, however they soon discovered a abandoned factory, a huge pre war bunker and a pre war research facility, after a few years the institution of man would have a main sector and base of operations called “the nexus core”:
the factory was transformed into both a synth factory and a power armor/equipment factory
the research facility had the same role, however it also had another role of ‘observation’ (spying and stalking), since the institution of America didn’t want the commonwealth (or anyone) to find out they still existed they decided to keep low, not kidnapping people or anything
the bunker was transformed into a government complex, heavily guarded and fortified all made to protect the head chief and other high ranking officials
the institution of America also created new stuff and such, they also tried to create super soldiers with no FEV and all of that, after a few failed experiments that left some test subjects dead they would finally succeed, they would create soldiers capable of lifting a entire pre war car, bullet proof to small arms fire, natural health regeneration, Etc, however it was a costly process and if anything goes wrong the soldier might come out deformed and such, the institution of America also decided to make a new section of the army (you can name it i suppose) it would consist of prisoners, civilians, POWs and so on, what happened to these people is that they were abducted by the institution and were basically lobotomized/brainwashed to fight for the institution, this section of the army was made for 3 main reasons:
1st reason is for a backup army
2nd reason is for a main workhorse ground army
3rd reason is because the institution’s own divisions are extremely elite, TOO elite in fact, because there was almost low ranking soldiers, colonels were the ones to do the duties of privates, however the creation of this army would solve that problem
let me know what you think! i didn’t describe how the institution looks or anything because i’m leaving that up to your imagination to come up with
also sorry if this seems out of the blue
@@bluscout1857 It's a pretty cool idea. Though I've planned out most of the main story and already have a rough idea of what I'm going to do with the remaining Institute and Enclave remnants. They'll both be making an appearance in the near future so major changes at this point is unlikely.
Anyways, thanks for watching. Glad you're enjoying so far and I hope you'll continue to enjoy.
I love running playthroughs with the minutemen especially with mods it makes for a great rp experience
Hey, just wondering what mods you run that can be on xbox for the minutemen?
@zippy8250 liberty reborn and conquered commonwealth minutemen vault 88 with a outpost with artillery and minutemen take nuka world
Amazing & reminds me the Armchair Historian's videos about uniform evolution for a country, most likely a connection there but still a great video!
Thanks, and you're correct. This video was inspired by the Armchair Historian Uniform videos.
@@doubtitt Your alternate universe is so cool! As a fallout 4 player who has over 300 hours alone on my Xbox with the minutemen, I always enjoy extended universes as I've even thought of my own for the future of the minutemen.
An idea: include dlc armours like marine and desciple, and (optionally) maybe make sub-genres of armour, such as Castle guard or Sanctuary guard compared to front-line infantry or southern provisoners
I definitely though about including more armors, but at the time I figured the video wouldn't get more than like 20 views max so I settled only for a couple of uniforms to keep things short and simple lol.
As far as dlc armors go, I didn't really include them because I didn't find any that fit the theme I was going for. This is part of the speculative/fanfic series I've made and in this timeline the Minutemen exist more as an elite reconnaissance force. Something like the Army Rangers + Marine Recon/Force Recon + Marines (No Amphibious Capabilities) combined into one. Something like the Marine armor wouldn't really make sense for the Minutemen in this timeline, but is perfect for something like the Commonwealth Marines.
This was awesome. As someone who picks the Minutemen in Fallout 4 and the NCR in New Vegas I like to wonder if there would ever be an NCR-Minutemen War.
They'd both be called NCR amusingly enough. The New California Republic, and the New Commonwealth Republic.
@@kylegivens3120 that Is rather funny
I don't think this two would be at war unless the successor of Preston and sole survivor will be like kembail, both has kind of imperialistic ideals but both are democratic and highly inspired by pre war America and it's culture. Maybe not unficate like one country but be friends for sure
I love this! The algorithm blessed me with this recommendation. The Minutemen were always my favorite faction for 4, and mods to bring them up to standard are a necessity to me. This video implying that the Minutemen go on to become a full scale organized faction like the NCR or BoS and actually coming out on top in multiple conflicts to achieve an era of prosperity decades later, all thanks to the Sole Survivor’s leadership.
This is a really cool video, its a really big joy to see people still keep the alternate history, minutemen lore, settlement building side of things still alive in the Fallout Community. Its really making me miss making videos myself. I hope you continue making more videos.
awesome, love to see the minutemen in action, i like the evolution they go thru in this video, well done.
I like when people make their own lore like this
God bless minutemen.
For the United Commonwealths of new Amerika.
Keep up the great minutemen videos.
exactly the type of content i was looking for. glad to have found your channel
Thanks for this interesting video.
In my own head canon my PC (tho it's Nora not Nate) used her eventual old world wit and prior job experience (as a 'Jurist' working in a gov institution) to build up the Minutemen and professionalize them, partly thanks to Vault 88 resources and an eventual alignment with the Institute which she wants to reform slowly into a better force of good, while the Minutemen are a sort of surface tool to bring more order and peace - and professionalizing them to be more than a rag-tag militia is paramount to this endeavour.
Why didn't I discover this video earlier? It was even on my birthday. Damn TH-cam algorithm.
This is some high quality stuff right here. Good job!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed
Yk, mods really make the minutemen more fun and interesting. Also loved how you did it like uniform evolution in a armchair historian style video
This is really good, bravo.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice to see someone else who loves the minutemen
This video is very underrated. Makes me want a mod that adds these specific combinations of clothing.
Nice job man, I very much enjoyed this 👍
Amazing work!
The real heros of Fallout
In my headcannon I struggle with the minutemens main issued rifle. I like your use of the M1 garand because I can imagine the minutemen just found stores of CMP rifles.
Bro this is so cool, love fallout alt hist/speculative future stuff
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you enjoy this stuff then you might enjoy some of the more story orientated stuff that explores the lore I've built up.
@@doubtitt Watched them, good stuff!
This is wonderful
This is some good lore right here
This is oddly fitting as there is no way the minutemen aren't expansionists, well at least till their is never another settlement that needs your help.
Sim Settlements + We Are The Minutemen + Militarized Minutemen = basically this video
Super cool video.
Minutemen from the start always fighting from the heart
Awesome video!
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed.
damn well made! really enjoyed it!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed.
@@doubtitt also enjoying these lore videos here! very well done!
@@Venator-Class_Star_Destroyer Thanks, new videos coming soon. Hope you'll continue to enjoy.
Keep Calm
The Castle Remains
The General Lives
God Protects The Minutemen
There is much to be done
Loved it!
We went from the revolutionary war to Vietnam.
Glad that I managed to make a mod that you enjoyed
Which one is that?
I made the addons mod for militarized minutemen
@@zachtan oh cool. I love the design of the patches. Used them as inspiration for the designs I made for some of my other videos.
Esto es una obra de arte
Thank God for mods 🙏
I like the thought of the Minutemen becoming a east coast NCR type of state
I think it wouldn't be NCR, more of something Ulysses saw in a devide before courier failed intelligence check with enclave nukes remote:
Federative state with autonomous settlements and cites. Maybe they'll become more organised as time passes cuz that's what is need to make competitive state, but still in their core very federative country
Really love this type of content. Great Job
Btw what mod did you use for the vest on the 2nd minutemen from the left in the Thumbnail?
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed.
The mod I used:
Combat Armor Vests Non-replacer
www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/5539
I love the minuteman faction so much I use it's mindset for helping at a moments notice in fallout 76 with the responders faction, so say what you want about it being "Half Assed", I used it to be creative in game, like I'm making a second faction of The Minutemen, I like it that much modded or unmodded, the second faction is called: The Wolf Brotherhood; creativity opens doors for mods to add on to what the devs created, instead of saying screw the devs mods are superior, work with them, addon to their work for generations to come to say "Hey, that's pretty neat", like the minutemen in-game
I want to see a powerful minute men and the NCR crass eachother, I could 100% imagine the ncr making up something reason just to go to war.
nice video!!!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed.
Minutemen and Railroad make for a better, peaceful tomorrow:)
What is that outfit and weapon the minuteman scout wearing during the battle of nuka world 1:45
Minuteman Outfit and Minuteman Bag from We Are The Minutemen and I believe the hat is the Cav hat from Militarized Minutemen. The weapon is an M1 Garand from the M1 Garand Mod on nexus.
I absolutely love the Minutemen but all of my headcanon for them keeps the Laser Musket. Game balance aside, it is hands down the greatest weapon ever. It requires no ammunition, which lightens the logistics load, and can be charged up enough to knock deathclaws and super mutants on their ass in only a couple hits.
This is cool but I can barely see the uniforms somtimes it’s just straight up in the shade and can’t make out the silhouette
i need to see the Commonwealth-Brotherhood war
Had to give you your 1000th like😮
Thank you!
Awesome!
Thanks!
Why does this give me General Dave vibes?
Minutemen Uniform Evolution, but they take oven Institute instead of destroying it (It's an exosuit!!)
Bro thats just an awesome material for some non-canon funmade mod or another creation
This style of story telling reminds me of nexbil telling of the minutemen
Always thought using the minutemen to try a second go of forming the CPG would have been cool.
This is nice. 👍
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed.
When commonwealth army?
Big fan of this speculative universe idea, I'd love to play around with it in my own game, any chance you'd be willing to drop a full mod list from your videos?
If you get these mods then you pretty much got all you need to recreate these uniforms:
For Clothing:
- We Are The Minutemen
- Militarized Minutemen
- Combat Armor Vests Non-replacer
- Classic Army Helmet and Field Caps
- Army Fatigues Simple improvements
- Classic Combat Armor
-Wearable Backpacks and Pouches
For Weapons:
- M1 Garand - A WWII Classic
- Rifles Rebirth
@doubtitt you're a G thank you
So you use We Are The Minutemen and Militarized Minutement in tandem? I thought they werent comlatible. And the Minutemen paint from CC also brought some errors with sone mods. How you made it work?
Well I just downloaded them for the videos. I don't really play FO4 anymore so idk how it would preform in an actual playthrough. It might mess with the equipment they spawn in with, but it hasn't caused any crashes for me. And that's considering that I'm also using Far West Minutemen with both WATM and Militarized Minutemen lol.
In my Discord RP, My Minutemen use Modern Kevlar kit and an assortment of rifles, mostly 5.56, Some troops get access to T-60 series Power Armor.
Preston, my friend, We did it. Together we revived minutemens. You hear me ? Preston....
"UNITED WE STAND! "
What mod was the striped pants like the civil war?
WATM
Wasteland 3 music in this vid? Hell yeah I am washed in the blood of the lamb.
Preston
He protecc
He attacc
Most importantly
Another settlement needs your help
I feel the NCR's got the whole 70's American army vibe. The Minutemen rock the steampunk vibe!
NCR is more of late 50's -early 60's era. NCR army honestly looks more like militia that army. Maybe because they based their power arm s in old guns that were out of commission and weren't touched during atomic bombing and of most common among civilians and settlements like double barrel shoutguns, hunting rifles, half automatic carabines, Winchesters, revolvers (all different kinds of the last two)
what mod adds the brodie helmet?
Classic Army Helmets:
www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12245
Did you get those minutmen outfits through mods
Yes, most of the equipment is from mods. I just put the outfits together.
The game become extremelly imersive once you get to the castle and can use the general clotches
When I first played Fallout 4 I had assumed that the Commonwealth was just post-apocalyptic and destroyed from the bombs and years of scavenging. I never realized just how developed the Commonwealth became post-war. Basically most of the Commonwealth was developed and run like Diamond-city, very close to Shady Sands in terms of growth. The Gunner War really destroyed everything and let Super Mutants, raiders, and the rest pretty much decimate the city.
By how quickly you rebuild the Minutemen and the wasteland in this game, it's pretty obvious the Minutemen are (were) being set up to be a rival power to the NCR on the East Coast. Now that the TV-show has crushed that prospect I'm wondering if the new Brotherhood-Caesar-NCR State that's being teased will reach the same level and come to blows with the Minutemen later or if Bethesda will try to destroy one to retain that "Post-Apocalyptic Feel" and halt any progression so they can keep the atmosphere the same as all the other games.
Why i think that the minutemen are the eastern version of the ncr?
Let me see:
-Even though was created by remnants of Washington national guard, sooner consisted mainly from volunteers from settlements
-their main quest line is based on rebuilding sentiment making cities out of it the same way as it was with shandy sands (R.I.P)
-based on ideals of pre war America
-respects democracy and choose of people
-bases their culture on pre war USA
-in paper tolerant, but in fact many people in minuteman state are racist towards synths and sometimes ghoul's
For the Minutemen!
Nice
Ducking YES!

What is this uniform? Has to be my favorite (very post apocalyptic).
I think that's from the WATM mod. It's the colonial duster that preston uses. Also added a gas mask and a blue army helmet.
@@doubtitt
1:31
Is this from WATM too? Can’t seem to find it, last question I swear lmao.
@@BadassName17 No, that's from Faction Field Outfits. The helmet is from classic army helmets and the mask from Metro Gas Mask.

Did you make these dates up or is this cannon
Made up
You've forgotten the 1700s minutemen.
I thought this was going to include the real life minutemen too
I think they are separate from each other. They're not supposed to be direct descendants of the colonial Minutemen. Just inspired by them.
Have you ever heard of the TH-camr Nexbil?
Yeah, I've seen some of his videos.
