Y ' know if you get far harbor one conversation that you can overhear from raiders is about a ghoul whale, so maybe that can be considered a sea monster! Though, whales are mammals so... hmmmmmm, well I'm no biologist!
That what you said about not being able to tell him that you are over 200 years old is a real shame, it is an unique situation only in fallout 4 and it should have been used more.
totally agree, i was far more interested after the opening story about the implications of being a pre-war human than i was interested in saving my son.. i'm sorry, i find it really difficult to give a damn about a character that didn't have a character at the start of the game. if they made the kid say 10-13 years old and have a few voicelines i'd have been far more inclined to saving him
Yeah, that'd be cool, like if I was in the sole survivors feet, the first thing I'd tell Cpt. is that I served in the army before the war and was put into cryogenic storage. Someone should make a mod on this.
But undeniably that is still an American pretending to sound like a native. Very few if any bilingual person would mix words from different languages in the way he does it. Not to mention the voice actor gets quite some tones wrong as well. I'd much prefer English with rich Chinese accent (as commonly heard even among modern PLAN officers/combatants) over half-baked iterations of simple Chinese phrases.
200 years, think of everything that happened Fallout 1, 2, 3 etc. months of travelling in the wasteland, weeks in a suspension tank, exploring new sttlements... ALL this time this guy has been in this room in his submarine, with nothing else to do than peek through that periscope. Just how has he managed to retain his sanity and not turn batshit crazy or at least leave the submarine is beyond me.
I've always helped Zao. This is a man broken by time and the weight of his actions and made to endure a hell of watching his crew and friends turn into unrecognizable creatures. All he wants to do is return home, help with whatever restoration efforts there might be, or just die somewhere familiar.
Dang, now I feel bad. I clicked on the Chinese commie option, so I didn't even hesitate to send him to the Chinese version of Valhalla. I'm too long into the main game now to redo this mission, which I found by pure curiosity. I was looking for islands or boats to glide near the marina with the power armor & I landed on the sub first, before I even saw & talked the npc kid on the harbor. 🥸
Yeah, 200 years of cramped isolation with nothing but the memories of your now-destroyed homeland and the guilt of what you've done? Whole what's left of your crew, your family, waste away into mindless zombies and suffer? That's two hellish life sentences! The man has suffered for his sins. And he will never be free of his guilt and mistakes, no matter how long he lives. I always help. He wants to go home and rebuild, try to do some good to atone for the bad. He should at least be able to try.
@paulgrundy6864 I mean that alone isn't an excuse. How many Nazis slaughtered helpless civilians in the name of "just following orders"? How many innocents IRL have died due to people just pushing a button or or just doing their job? By choosing to push the button, Zao was complicit. But he has also been punished. He served his sentence, so he should be allowed to go home.
I really loved the character of Captain Zao. He maintains his military bearing, despite two centuries of loneliness. There is a tragic sort of honor associated with the Captain. He regrets the past, the nuclear fire, and his role in the end of the world. However, his pride in his boat was unbreakable. In a better world, the Captain of the Yangtze would be at the helm of his boat, riding the waves under a bejeweled sky; a proud man and the open sea. Xie xie, Captain Zao. Your war is over.
I always wondered how ghouls could go 200 years in a hellish world without going insane, especially when in isolation. Maybe that’s one of the causes of feral ghouls?
Pretty bold statement from the Sole Survivor to say sea monsters aren't real when he/she was frozen for 200 years during a nuclear apocalypse, only to come out from a vault into a world where deathclaws exist.
Dumbest mission in the game, and boy i love this game. You do his stupid mission amd only get 3 beacons for the tactical nukes. Every fatman is more lethal. 1 of the 3 didn't even fire in my case. At least they could've give you one chinese sneaking stealth suit. But naaah
Oxhorn: this man is responsible for ALL of the destruction in Boston. This man created the Glowing sea. He destroyed downtown Boston. Zao: * spins around in a tight circle*
23:00 to be honest, the fact that the event 260+ years ago makes it make a ton of sense when you attack Zao since you watched "what feels like last month" take place right in front of you. Zao had all that time to sit in his little hull and mull over what happened and process it.

@@Zetunez i spent 11 years living in china and i can tell you that all those are 100% accurate , maybe if u have brain u may heard of something called ''context clues'' .
Zao is definately one of my favourite characters, as just like the sole survivor, they still think like a normal human, and havnt became corrupted or anything like any other characters.
@@azzythechristianfurry I am a Chinese citizen who was born in China, and I spent four years in US for high school so here I’m telling you that first, communism isn’t a corrupted thing if you truly understand what is it talking about instead of hearing some political news from BBC or CNN , secondly, people in China are not as hostile as others when we are talking about countries that are from our enemy side so I wish I see more sense from you and other westerners in the future. And unfortunately China isn’t that communistic no more after 80's
@@jaob9024 Taiwan is not apart of Hong Kong. It’d be perfect to see a nation like Taiwan being untouched by the bombs and having descendants of the Taiwanese people recounting their ancestors fight with the Chinese. Nods to the past and anything to do with pre war fallout lore is amazing
I can spare Parthunaax of his crimes against mortals because he had to follow the rule of Alduin, the evil form of Aka but sparing a Commie? Nah, not gonna happen in both virtual and real world.
Even through the guilt of nuking a nation, of razing it of all life and structures, and the loneliness with being sealed in the dub with no one but semisentient zombies who were once his family, he still has pride in his nation, and wishes to atone for his nation. All while still looking for the hope that he can one day complete this task. Zao is what every captain should be. Willing to fight for his pride but also always hoping to find other ways to solve a problem. Even with his history he was only following orders and doing what he thought was necessary for his people. I have the deepest respect for zao even if he isn't real.
Its_Me_Romano _ it would have made so much sense to tell him that especially, since he's a big part of the war... maybe it would make him hostile, or maybe it would make you break down and new dialogue options come of it, etc. I don't know. But, yet again, a wasted opportunity.
core unit I was just about to comment something like that. "Sea monsters aren't real. Well, I'm gonna leave to fight non aging monsters and huge deadly creatures with claws like knives, bye kid"
I like how they portrait Zhao's patriotism. Chinese Patirotism is never equal to fanatics, but the Nostalgia or homesickness (思乡情怀) no matter which corner you are at, and the belief about rebuilding your own land, your own house with your people until you won't be able to do so. I'm not a PRC citizen and i was born in Sydney, but I lived in China for 13 years and my family is chinese, I can say that they really did this very accurate, and the Chinese community of this game marked Captain Zhao as one of the most memorable character of the franchise, it's been a long time since Chinese people, especially a PLA member is portraited this accurate instead of some RED GUARD stereotype. And we really appreciate that.
As someone who is not a member of the Chinese community of this game, I would also call him one of the most memorable characters, right up there with Valentine.
Hearing Zhao's plan - especially about either building, if there is a need, or simply dying, if there isn't, has always had me tear up. It's one of the saddest pieces of hope in the game.
Bethesda stepped up their game in terms of chinese voice actors. General Jingwei in Fallout 3 sounded like a Caucasian merely reading hanyu pinyin off of the script, whereas Zao to me sounded a lot like a native Chinese. His pronunciation of Yangtze and Qian Ting was spot-on.
@@texasallstar6969 He calls it a joke, I think, because the Chinese were in Alaska for years, and it wasn't until power armor was deployed that they pushed the Chinese off of the American's own territory. As well, America had only had foreign invaders once before, during WWII and that was dealt with much easier than China
@@everythingsalright1121 or the fact that the operation required countless shellings and explosives. America probably "retook" a blasted crater and an oil line.
@@everythingsalright1121 I personally think its an example of him being cut off from communications with mainland China. and he actually did think china still owned Alaska. which gives credit to the vault tech caused the war. after finding out china was in fact about to be conqured and fearing the war would end with chinas surrender the nukes were launched by vault tech. surprising the chinese sub commander and the US troops and kicking off the war.
I really want the dialogue option where you can tell Zao that you were there. Like Opt 1: "I was there when the bombs dropped. You're not the only one who's 200 years old" Zao: "After all this time. I. I thought I was the only one who saw the fire. The fire, that burned... People. That burned... Me with guilt" Opt 2: "I was there when you launched those nukes! You burned my country! I saw it with my very own eyes!!" Zao: "I. Understand how you feel. Especially, you were there. But. I was. Also there. And I am punished by 2 centuries of guilt. Sins of past. Must be erased" Opt 3: "You're our enemy! I was there, when you burned Boston, when you burned America! Die commie bastard!" Zao: *Turns hostile* Opt 4: "You received orders? From whom. I was there, Zao. I saw it all, just like you did. What happened afterwards?" Zao: "From command. I. I didn't know you were there. After receiving instructions. Command... Silent. Fēicháng bàoqiàn. Terribly sorry."
I would like a mod where depending on how your Sole Survivors preset look is like a Asian and you can pick which country you are from and you can occasionally have your character say your native language like Japanese,Chinese, and Korean even in the accent from that country
It is never mentioned directly, but Zao’s dialogue options give the idea that he and his crew made incursions into Boston after he docked. It is possible that some, or even most, of his crew died looking for supplies to repair the submarine.
Thiago Cardoso to further this point I'd say after 200 years of doing nothing a lot of people would probably wanna leave. Just leave. The war is over what's the point of staying in a military sub.
Harvest 678 Might explain the Chinese ghouls you find in the Capital Wasteland. If there's not an explanation to them already, of course. Hell, they even wear similar clothes.
They need to release a China-based Fallout. I'm legit curious about what's going on over there. I would buy that in a second. *EDIT 9 MONTHS LATER: Ah, yes.....and here come the Rona jokes. >_>
Actually it could work as the chinese actually built huge vault like nuclear bunkers and probably wanted to try experiments just like the vaults. It could be like a spinoff made by obsidian or something
@@aqz7603 Not even that , they could make it so that there are old suits of power armour that you can find, since china was invaded by soldiers in power armour, there would definitely be a few suits of power armour you can find
@@aqz7603 Chinese had stealth suits, which basically made them hard to see. I'd say a Chinese Fallout game would be based more on Stealth than pure firepower.
As a Chinese, every time he said “home” and “family” in mandarin, it sting my heart so bad. as a Chinese a lot of old people that I know of, only wants 2 things, their own home and family. Legit tear out
Before I get cancelled out of existence, no I don’t think he did good, but getting stuck for 200 years is just the worst jail he will received, and there’s more to come.
I felt sorry for him. Just another victim of the war. He had 200 years to regret, to reflect on the hellscape he created, the death he dealt to so many innocents. Now, like so many others, he just wants to go home and rebuild. It's sad and he deserves pity. Good video though! Will you do a video on Travis and DCR next? Just a suggestion.
Josh H Are you sure? Because I remember one time when a Vertibird landed near The Slog the soldier started shooting... It might have been because of a quest mod I had installed though, that's why I'm asking.
The Yangtze seems like a bit of a missed opportunity. A DLC where after you help Zao, you can tag along with him to go explore China with him being a follower/giving you quests to help people and rebuild would be epic.
I wont lie, the more i read and see about fallout's lore and history in game, i start to enjoy it more and more, even if it has it's issues and problems, i like it.
Yeah Chinese government and Chinese citizens are very different and they fight a lot so maybe they could take place of the enclave and bos in a radiated Beijing or hongkong
@@porkymonk9065 they definitely have problems of theirs rebuilding China at the best case, rather then travel across the globe fighting people who were once enemies of theirs ancestors, who had suffered the consequences of the war most likely as hard as chinese had. Fallout is illogical in many aspects though, all is possible and that would be an interesting theme with different endings and influence on the fallout world depending on who you choose to side up with
Two things- Zao didn't kill millions, he was just carrying out orders. He did't make the call to launch the missile. Second, havn't you ever had the curiosity to speak with somone like Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin or Mao Zedong? I mean these have to be some of the most interesting people on earth.
@@AfterDark33 he killed people tho. It doesn't matter if it was orders or not. And no if I ever met any of those bastardy I would put a bullet in their head in n instant.
I love Zao, he has some amazing voice acting. He even tries and finds the english translations when he cannot think of a word. It sounds authentic. Reminds me of a holotape you can find, where a mother and her son are being hunted by a ghoul or monster. Her voice acting sounds very authentic and afraid. It's real good. There are more, but that's the one I got at the top of my head.
Would have been way cooler if he was the only person in the game to carry the chinese pistol (from fallout3), and after repairing the submarine he would give the pistol to you.
The pet-peve I have about his playthroughs here in Fallout 4 are that he ignores picking up the wonderglue and the duct tape. All that rare adhesive going to waste...
@@adobotachibana732 that doesn't make sense though, that's still just an ak-47, I don't think you know how gun identification works but Chinese ak-47 isn't a thing
This was 10 times funnier for me because I found this mission by accident near the end of the game. When Nate says "Sea monsters aren't real" I literally said outloud "We just fought a giant mirelurk coming out of the ocean at The Castle!"
this reminds me of the story of the USS Indianapolis. The Japanese submarine captain sunk the Indianapolis, and when the war was over the Captain of the Indianapolis was court martialled for not zig zagging to avoid torpedos, but the Japanese sub captain came to the Captains defense saying his submarine was too close for zig zagging to save the ship, the two captains met after the court martial and saluted and forgave one another. The Japanese Captain named Mochitsura Hashimoto and the American Captain Butler McVay III
I'll add as a point of interest/justice, that the Japanese captain was tried as a war criminal due to the tremendous loss of life regarding the sinking of the Indianapolis, but found innocent. It was determined that Captain Hashimoto was simply acting as any submarine captain would have in his place.
y'know, when i first encountered this i ofc helped him but when i pictured in my head Cpt. Zao building China House by house, brick by brick. it made me feel....sad but also hopeful if that make sense? i mean he's all alone basically yet he has the optimism to keep going, despite that fact. idk why but that touched me on a personal level.
Are they? I thought the damned radiation worshipper (children of the atom) base was a fucking submarine bunker with a damned fully armed sub still inside (with the launch-tubes rusted shut however)? How would that thing get out to sea if supposedly is "too shallow"?
In an apocalyptic world full of overgrown and mutated insects, animals, and humans. "Sea Monsters Aren't Real"...... Ch'yeah Right, and monkeys might fly out of my butt. Lol
Hey it is probably undermanned because it was a suicide mission and perhaps the minimum requirement was 13 men and max capacity was 80. None were expected to survive.
still, even if it was thought to be extremely dangerous, as in practically a suicide mission, if one of the crew would die or otherwise be incapable to work on Pay Day, the strategically critical mission would be a failure. it cuts too close.
Fallout Pc: Sea monsters aren’t real kid. Fallout Universe: 200+ year old Human zombie things, Giant radiated sea crabs, Super mutants, Anger boy demon hell spawns (Death claws), and practically every insect enlarged to be able to eat a large dog.
My theory is that not all the crew became feral ghouls, i think some of the crew might have become regular ghouls and left to live semi-normal lives in the commonwealth but a captain goes down with his ship so he probably stayed while his non feral crew left
When I first found him I didn't loot the submarine. I had already spent 30+ hours collecting scrap building settlements and he said he wanted to build houses on China so I left everything so he had more tools to build
Nothing says adventure like going to some strange land where everyone speaks another language. I would pay 80 dollars for a Fallout Game based in China
Not to mention they could still base parts of it in the US (some kind of prologue, where you put together your expedition - like say repairing a pre-war ship (at best a military one) and selecting people to go with you (or factions, which would influence the rest of the game))...hell, they could bring in the BOS again by making them the faction actually going to China (maybe because they want Chinese stealth tech or salvage what is left of the US-Forces in China...they after all were well entrenched (It's said that the Chinese launched first because they were losing the war after all, not that that has ever been confirmed without a reasonable doubt!) and had brought a lot of tech there, from weapons to power armor and even ships/submarines, tanks, vertibirds etc.) ps: It would also kind of put you in the Enclave's position (meaning you could be a total asshole to the locals who wouldn't have much of a chance attacking you - unless they have their own Brotherhood of Steel (well something similar) with access to ships or aircraft!) with having a well defended stronghold of the coast (one you could also move, so attacking it is even harder than attacking the Enclave Oil Rig!) :)
All these usual fallout things are based on American values. I doubt a game based in China can give you the same feeling without all this made-in-America stuff. FEV wasn't in China, so no super mutant and highly unlikely deathclaws. No traditional vaults for you and everyone are speaking Chinese.
You miss the fact that, China would likely have entirely different monsters, organisations and bunkers, there is so little established that they could honestly do a lot with it. I personally am looking forward to fighting a Yao-panda.
The idea there would be to launch and strike so close that there wouldn't be enough reaction time for retaliation. Strike the places that can command a counterstrike, then have the mainland missles show up later and sweep up the remains. We have the came capability in real life, and would do the same thing.
@@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz I'm pretty sure we designed missiles specifically for this. Using a ICBM at this range is a waste and probably less effective because they are probably programmed to go to a certain height before going to target. Using a SRBM would be way less expensive and maybe more effective. I could be totally wrong, but if a sub was sent so close to mainland, they would have gave him a shorter ranged missile. Well. I read some Wikipedia articles and apparently, submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) are very similar to ICBM... But using an ICBM to target something this close give me same feeling as using a trebuchet instead of a bow. And it should be SLBM and not ICBM as it is inside a submarine.
I'm pretty sure SSBMs are not inter-continental... do you know how huge the missile would have to be SSBM are similar to intermediaterange and shorter-range ballistic missile in terms of range and reaction time
Well if you were ordered to fire the nukes and witnessed the end of the world and watch you crew die, turn into ghouls and feral overtime it would leave anyone with ptsd
I never think nuclear war should happen but as a Beijingner I stand with Zao, in these desperate times humanity should unite and find new resources instead of fighting over it.
Just went in the other room, and ... my roommate was watching this video too??? Literally we somehow ended up watching the exact same thing at the same time without knowing. I took my earbuds out and heard the audio coming from across the hall and thought I was losing my damn mind. How the actual fuck.
The sub is stuffed with American supplies because he collected all that stuff on his scavenging missions. I'm assuming all his original supplies ran out since the sub wasn't stocked up for 200 years of living.
***** Bethesda absolutely screwed over the canon in FO4. Canonically, ghouls eat just like any other human. This is just a bad case of ignorant writers.
isrealjason yea you're probably right. He wouldn't be able to utilize the Panama Canal even if it still exists and is functioning, and the trip around the tip of South America would be way longer, so it does make sense that he would've decided to risk skirting under the Arctic Ocean, despite that being extremely dangerous. Who knows what the Great War did to the climate and what manner of storms await around the far southern longitudes near Cape Horn. It's already one one of the most dangerous sea routes on earth for weather alone, i cannot imagine how much worse it might be in the fallout world.
I would be More scared of what living in the water at high sea,We see thing like dolphin shark,mirelurk it leave a lot of possibilities about what might be staying in these water
devil19x Actually that’s not as likely, the ocean depths would be pretty well protected from nuclear fallout due to ocean currents, sheer size and lack of proximity
David Thomas Question is why would China care about Boston and the East Coast in General? I could only imagine that China cares more about the West Coast more then the East Coast. If China was worried that America could some how use Europe as a jumping off point to get to India and then to China, why not use the Spy network in America to either damage and or course Trouble in the US? Plus even though the majority of people in the US hate Communists, there had to be some who symptoms with it too, so why not use them? Add why not nuke or bomb the Panama Canal to force the US to use over land, Trains, Trucks, and Airplanes. Trespassing Supply's to where they need to go?
Hmmmmm I know it could likely just be lazy game design on Bethesda’s part, but the use of American supplies and tech could also MAYBE lend to the theory that Vault-Tech dropped at least some bombs. There are the same Rob-Co terminals we find in all vaults, and Zao even chuckles and says “save your bacon,” a very American saying. IF Vault Tech launched even one bomb, it had to come from somewhere. MAYBE after Anchorage, with the war seeming to be coming to a close in favor of America, people started to sign up for vaults less and less, and so a desperate Vault-Tech paired up with an even more desperate China to both scare people into living in vaults forever, and eliminate the threat of the “American oppressors.” So Vault Tech supplies the Chinese with the nukes, and the submarines which the Chinese fit with their often associated stealth capabilities, and end the war, and life in America above ground, letting Vault Tech get away with their experiments for centuries.
Great theory, I think that's valid. Also explains how Zao, a mainland Chinese, could understand and converse in English. There must've been an entity from America hiring them and teaching them English
19:50 "Ranging from telling him the BORING truth...." I think finding the submarine that caused all that death and destruction, repairing it and even meeting the 200+ year old captain is a FAR better Story than some sea monster.
One detail you might have left out was one that really tugs at my heartstrings. I think one of the skeletons, one at least on one of the bunks in the submarine, you would find a teddybear. It was explained that in real-life wars, after being ordered to launch nukes, those who would work in those subs would be extremely struck with grief that they would cry in their bunk while holding a teddybear. It would more than likely be the same case with the Chinese crew who worked on that submarine.
@@tobe1207 The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagagsaki - the only times a nuke has been used in anger 💣 Not sure where this dude has got his submariner facts from 🤷♂️ or whether he's spent his whole life living in a hole! 😂
I agree about not being able to tell him that you were there and alive the day his nukes dropped. I feel like out of all of the times you have the option to say that in the game, the most fitting and heart wrenching would have been during this quest. I wish Bethedsa had put that as a dialogue option in the game, I would have loved to see his reaction.
Fun Fact: The submarine is named after China's biggest river. But actually, Chinese people do not usually call the river "Yangtze(揚子) River", we are more accustomed to call it "長江 Changjiang (The Long River)" . I'm living in Wuhan (Yes you know where that is), the river runs through the city.
I wish you could get his lovely commie outfit without killing him. You can get a ushanka, I found one on the traveling merchant you meet on the way to Diamond City, but there's no *outfit* to go with it! (I find it funny when my character encounters commie hating dialogue while dressed like a commie stereotype.)
Jess Payne c’mon man.....let the poor bastard be. The war is over, and he had a family too, in China. And just like the generals and sub captains of the US armed forces, they were following orders as well as retaliating. Shit man, both China and the United States were just absolute fucking messes before the bombs fell. Zao was one of many of unfortunate souls forced to participate. The world is forever changed, and hate that was manifested 200 years ago is pointless. I think he should just go back to China where he can maybe die in peace and be with his family, or reconcile with his comrades and attempt to rebuild, to survive.
To be fair, the main character is supposed to come from before the great war, and that would be the standard respond. So since it's clearly intentional from the writers and makes sense I don't see why the fuss about it.
I really wish Bethesda put more effort into making your character a man/woman out of time that knows of an America before the wastes. Especially during your interactions with the Brotherhood that would be quite the usefull perk.

meep moop 2 True. Or just say you're the spouse. Also you could maybe expose the horrrors of Vault Tec to Zao.
I am chinese, and Zao speaks authentic mainlander mandarin, it's so authentic it hurts. 10/10 would create a new character to play again
But undeniably that is still an American pretending to sound like a native. Very few if any bilingual person would mix words from different languages in the way he does it. Not to mention the voice actor gets quite some tones wrong as well. I'd much prefer English with rich Chinese accent (as commonly heard even among modern PLAN officers/combatants) over half-baked iterations of simple Chinese phrases.

Dang, now I feel bad. I clicked on the Chinese commie option, so I didn't even hesitate to send him to the Chinese version of Valhalla. I'm too long into the main game now to redo this mission, which I found by pure curiosity. I was looking for islands or boats to glide near the marina with the power armor & I landed on the sub first, before I even saw & talked the npc kid on the harbor. 🥸
Yeah, 200 years of cramped isolation with nothing but the memories of your now-destroyed homeland and the guilt of what you've done? Whole what's left of your crew, your family, waste away into mindless zombies and suffer? That's two hellish life sentences!
The man has suffered for his sins. And he will never be free of his guilt and mistakes, no matter how long he lives.
I always help. He wants to go home and rebuild, try to do some good to atone for the bad. He should at least be able to try.
Zao wasn’t the reason the world got nuked, Communist Chinese politics and generals already sealed that fate. All Zao did was press a button.
@paulgrundy6864 I mean that alone isn't an excuse.
How many Nazis slaughtered helpless civilians in the name of "just following orders"? How many innocents IRL have died due to people just pushing a button or or just doing their job? By choosing to push the button, Zao was complicit.
But he has also been punished. He served his sentence, so he should be allowed to go home.
I really loved the character of Captain Zao. He maintains his military bearing, despite two centuries of loneliness. There is a tragic sort of honor associated with the Captain. He regrets the past, the nuclear fire, and his role in the end of the world. However, his pride in his boat was unbreakable. In a better world, the Captain of the Yangtze would be at the helm of his boat, riding the waves under a bejeweled sky; a proud man and the open sea. Xie xie, Captain Zao. Your war is over.
This is gold man😀
Many thanks!
Am I the only one that wants him as a companion?
Doooood what if Hitler ended up like this if he was caught in a fallout?
I always wondered how ghouls could go 200 years in a hellish world without going insane, especially when in isolation. Maybe that’s one of the causes of feral ghouls?

Even through the guilt of nuking a nation, of razing it of all life and structures, and the loneliness with being sealed in the dub with no one but semisentient zombies who were once his family, he still has pride in his nation, and wishes to atone for his nation. All while still looking for the hope that he can one day complete this task. Zao is what every captain should be. Willing to fight for his pride but also always hoping to find other ways to solve a problem. Even with his history he was only following orders and doing what he thought was necessary for his people. I have the deepest respect for zao even if he isn't real.

I like how they portrait Zhao's patriotism. Chinese Patirotism is never equal to fanatics, but the Nostalgia or homesickness (思乡情怀) no matter which corner you are at, and the belief about rebuilding your own land, your own house with your people until you won't be able to do so. I'm not a PRC citizen and i was born in Sydney, but I lived in China for 13 years and my family is chinese, I can say that they really did this very accurate, and the Chinese community of this game marked Captain Zhao as one of the most memorable character of the franchise, it's been a long time since Chinese people, especially a PLA member is portraited this accurate instead of some RED GUARD stereotype. And we really appreciate that.
As someone who is not a member of the Chinese community of this game, I would also call him one of the most memorable characters, right up there with Valentine.
Hearing Zhao's plan - especially about either building, if there is a need, or simply dying, if there isn't, has always had me tear up. It's one of the saddest pieces of hope in the game.
The interior of the sub was super disappointing, but "I leave the fire here" is one of the most underrated lines in the entire Fallout franchise.
Bethesda stepped up their game in terms of chinese voice actors. General Jingwei in Fallout 3 sounded like a Caucasian merely reading hanyu pinyin off of the script, whereas Zao to me sounded a lot like a native Chinese. His pronunciation of Yangtze and Qian Ting was spot-on.
Yep. A guy named Ping Wu did voice acting for him as well as Stan Slavin and Ted Huntley.
Bu xing was off, and isn't yangtze pronounced yang he in chinese
Pounc_r nah everything's spot-on, Chinese approved
Yep, haha,Chinese approved
Nope, he pronounced everything perfectly. I should know since I'm Chinese myself.

@@texasallstar6969 He calls it a joke, I think, because the Chinese were in Alaska for years, and it wasn't until power armor was deployed that they pushed the Chinese off of the American's own territory.

@@everythingsalright1121 or the fact that the operation required countless shellings and explosives. America probably "retook" a blasted crater and an oil line.
@@everythingsalright1121 I personally think its an example of him being cut off from communications with mainland China. and he actually did think china still owned Alaska. which gives credit to the vault tech caused the war. after finding out china was in fact about to be conqured and fearing the war would end with chinas surrender the nukes were launched by vault tech. surprising the chinese sub commander and the US troops and kicking off the war.

I really want the dialogue option where you can tell Zao that you were there.
Like
Opt 1: "I was there when the bombs dropped. You're not the only one who's 200 years old"
Zao: "After all this time. I. I thought I was the only one who saw the fire. The fire, that burned... People. That burned... Me with guilt"
Opt 2: "I was there when you launched those nukes! You burned my country! I saw it with my very own eyes!!"
Zao: "I. Understand how you feel. Especially, you were there. But. I was. Also there. And I am punished by 2 centuries of guilt. Sins of past. Must be erased"
Opt 3: "You're our enemy! I was there, when you burned Boston, when you burned America! Die commie bastard!"
Zao: *Turns hostile*
Opt 4: "You received orders? From whom. I was there, Zao. I saw it all, just like you did. What happened afterwards?"
Zao: "From command. I. I didn't know you were there. After receiving instructions. Command... Silent. Fēicháng bàoqiàn. Terribly sorry."
Last option is god tier. Great idea
mods.....might not get the voice but lets get what we can

Lanmin Ironic, didn’t the Americans actually liberate Anchorage before the bombs dropped?
It is never mentioned directly, but Zao’s dialogue options give the idea that he and his crew made incursions into Boston after he docked. It is possible that some, or even most, of his crew died looking for supplies to repair the submarine.
Thiago Cardoso to further this point I'd say after 200 years of doing nothing a lot of people would probably wanna leave. Just leave. The war is over what's the point of staying in a military sub.

@@IRUNASSULT They could've had a chinese-rip off version of power armor.

Good video though! Will you do a video on Travis and DCR next? Just a suggestion.
I thought the same. I killed him in my BOS playthrough, just for accuracy, but I really hated to do so.
TacticalFaceplm _ Yes? Zao is a ghoul. Every brothrrhood soldier would have shot him on sight. And so did I.
I killed him out of cold blood, my character is a angry avenger, bloodthirsty. But I didn't like it.
Josh H Are you sure? Because I remember one time when a Vertibird landed near The Slog the soldier started shooting... It might have been because of a quest mod I had installed though, that's why I'm asking.
Josh H Oh alright, haven't seen that yet. Still sure they were BoS soldiers though.
The Yangtze seems like a bit of a missed opportunity. A DLC where after you help Zao, you can tag along with him to go explore China with him being a follower/giving you quests to help people and rebuild would be epic.

This was 10 times funnier for me because I found this mission by accident near the end of the game. When Nate says "Sea monsters aren't real" I literally said outloud "We just fought a giant mirelurk coming out of the ocean at The Castle!"
this reminds me of the story of the USS Indianapolis. The Japanese submarine captain sunk the Indianapolis, and when the war was over the Captain of the Indianapolis was court martialled for not zig zagging to avoid torpedos, but the Japanese sub captain came to the Captains defense saying his submarine was too close for zig zagging to save the ship, the two captains met after the court martial and saluted and forgave one another. The Japanese Captain named Mochitsura Hashimoto and the American Captain Butler McVay III
Indianapolis? I think I heard that before where from?
Bösartiger Wal [Vicious Whale] The movie about it?
Gotobar 1313 That's a nice bit of trivia. Thanks for that.
I'll add as a point of interest/justice, that the Japanese captain was tried as a war criminal due to the tremendous loss of life regarding the sinking of the Indianapolis, but found innocent. It was determined that Captain Hashimoto was simply acting as any submarine captain would have in his place.
the captain of the the Indianapolis committed suicide as well

Hey it is probably undermanned because it was a suicide mission and perhaps the minimum requirement was 13 men and max capacity was 80. None were expected to survive.
still, even if it was thought to be extremely dangerous, as in practically a suicide mission, if one of the crew would die or otherwise be incapable to work on Pay Day, the strategically critical mission would be a failure. it cuts too close.
I would of had 18 at least
It’s China.
* I have nothing against China. That was me playing off a stereotype. It’s just a prank bro
@@iancameron8391 lol rekt
@@Redmanticore Maybe the requirement to launch the nukes was even less, and some of the 13 were just extra.
Fallout Pc: Sea monsters aren’t real kid.
Fallout Universe: 200+ year old Human zombie things, Giant radiated sea crabs, Super mutants, Anger boy demon hell spawns (Death claws), and practically every insect enlarged to be able to eat a large dog.
ipeenickels Have you seen the mutant dolphins around the Commonwealth?
Can't forget about the cazadores
I think their version of a monster is a hell of a lot more different xD
Also tons of literal sea monsters, especially in Far Harbour
SpytheMedic wrong wasteland
My theory is that not all the crew became feral ghouls, i think some of the crew might have become regular ghouls and left to live semi-normal lives in the commonwealth but a captain goes down with his ship so he probably stayed while his non feral crew left
When I first found him I didn't loot the submarine. I had already spent 30+ hours collecting scrap building settlements and he said he wanted to build houses on China so I left everything so he had more tools to build
what a great guy!
Nothing says adventure like going to some strange land where everyone speaks another language. I would pay 80 dollars for a Fallout Game based in China
Falnix Valencroth Asia is too big for an island
Not to mention they could still base parts of it in the US (some kind of prologue, where you put together your expedition - like say repairing a pre-war ship (at best a military one) and selecting people to go with you (or factions, which would influence the rest of the game))...hell, they could bring in the BOS again by making them the faction actually going to China (maybe because they want Chinese stealth tech or salvage what is left of the US-Forces in China...they after all were well entrenched (It's said that the Chinese launched first because they were losing the war after all, not that that has ever been confirmed without a reasonable doubt!) and had brought a lot of tech there, from weapons to power armor and even ships/submarines, tanks, vertibirds etc.)
ps: It would also kind of put you in the Enclave's position (meaning you could be a total asshole to the locals who wouldn't have much of a chance attacking you - unless they have their own Brotherhood of Steel (well something similar) with access to ships or aircraft!) with having a well defended stronghold of the coast (one you could also move, so attacking it is even harder than attacking the Enclave Oil Rig!) :)
Bösartiger Wal [Vicious Whale] he said “Strange land” not “Island” so your comment makes no sense at all
All these usual fallout things are based on American values. I doubt a game based in China can give you the same feeling without all this made-in-America stuff. FEV wasn't in China, so no super mutant and highly unlikely deathclaws. No traditional vaults for you and everyone are speaking Chinese.
You miss the fact that, China would likely have entirely different monsters, organisations and bunkers, there is so little established that they could honestly do a lot with it.
I personally am looking forward to fighting a Yao-panda.
"Your new burned, America" Salty Zao. Very salty.

The Chinese really understood the IC in ICBM ^^
The art of launching Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles from 5 kilometers away...
The idea there would be to launch and strike so close that there wouldn't be enough reaction time for retaliation. Strike the places that can command a counterstrike, then have the mainland missles show up later and sweep up the remains.
We have the came capability in real life, and would do the same thing.
@@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz I'm pretty sure we designed missiles specifically for this. Using a ICBM at this range is a waste and probably less effective because they are probably programmed to go to a certain height before going to target. Using a SRBM would be way less expensive and maybe more effective. I could be totally wrong, but if a sub was sent so close to mainland, they would have gave him a shorter ranged missile.
Well. I read some Wikipedia articles and apparently, submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) are very similar to ICBM... But using an ICBM to target something this close give me same feeling as using a trebuchet instead of a bow. And it should be SLBM and not ICBM as it is inside a submarine.
@@PrinceUzuRyu its also the Fallout Universe....so being _that_ pedantic helps no one.
Continental X
Port-inental V
I'm pretty sure SSBMs are not inter-continental... do you know how huge the missile would have to be
SSBM are similar to intermediaterange and shorter-range ballistic missile in terms of range and reaction time

Captain Zao looked like he was suffering from PTSD. Respects lol.
Well if you were ordered to fire the nukes and witnessed the end of the world and watch you crew die, turn into ghouls and feral overtime it would leave anyone with ptsd
I never think nuclear war should happen but as a Beijingner I stand with Zao, in these desperate times humanity should unite and find new resources instead of fighting over it.
Just went in the other room, and ... my roommate was watching this video too??? Literally we somehow ended up watching the exact same thing at the same time without knowing. I took my earbuds out and heard the audio coming from across the hall and thought I was losing my damn mind. How the actual fuck.
Yeah lol. She just stormed into my room and screamed "what the fuck!"
BECAUSE THIS IS BULLSHIT
Good taste all around!
Oxhorn is the whole world like that or just the 2 country's china and america.
Thirsty
The sub is stuffed with American supplies because he collected all that stuff on his scavenging missions. I'm assuming all his original supplies ran out since the sub wasn't stocked up for 200 years of living.
Zachary Rose Didn't think about that... makes sense, though.
***** maybe likes to eat..
***** well when ur skin is rotting off food taste isn't a main concern lol
***** Actually, ghouls do need to eat; they just don't age.
***** Bethesda absolutely screwed over the canon in FO4. Canonically, ghouls eat just like any other human. This is just a bad case of ignorant writers.
I dont know about everyone else but due to his reaction in my fallout game I didn't do the speech check to get zaos sword due to how sad he sounds
Same, nothing is worse than making someone sad in a game… but doesn’t matter, just use mods
This mission made me want a fallout based in China. So much lore to be had
if he was going back to China he would go the north pole way, so it makes perfect sense that the missiles come from the north.
isrealjason yea you're probably right. He wouldn't be able to utilize the Panama Canal even if it still exists and is functioning, and the trip around the tip of South America would be way longer, so it does make sense that he would've decided to risk skirting under the Arctic Ocean, despite that being extremely dangerous. Who knows what the Great War did to the climate and what manner of storms await around the far southern longitudes near Cape Horn. It's already one one of the most dangerous sea routes on earth for weather alone, i cannot imagine how much worse it might be in the fallout world.
I would be More scared of what living in the water at high sea,We see thing like dolphin shark,mirelurk it leave a lot of possibilities about what might be staying in these water
maybe he goes by africa,then india,then to china
devil19x Actually that’s not as likely, the ocean depths would be pretty well protected from nuclear fallout due to ocean currents, sheer size and lack of proximity
David Thomas Question is why would China care about Boston and the East Coast in General? I could only imagine that China cares more about the West Coast more then the East Coast. If China was worried that America could some how use Europe as a jumping off point to get to India and then to China, why not use the Spy network in America to either damage and or course Trouble in the US?
Plus even though the majority of people in the US hate Communists, there had to be some who symptoms with it too, so why not use them?
Add why not nuke or bomb the Panama Canal to force the US to use over land, Trains, Trucks, and Airplanes. Trespassing Supply's to where they need to go?
Hmmmmm I know it could likely just be lazy game design on Bethesda’s part, but the use of American supplies and tech could also MAYBE lend to the theory that Vault-Tech dropped at least some bombs. There are the same Rob-Co terminals we find in all vaults, and Zao even chuckles and says “save your bacon,” a very American saying.
IF Vault Tech launched even one bomb, it had to come from somewhere. MAYBE after Anchorage, with the war seeming to be coming to a close in favor of America, people started to sign up for vaults less and less, and so a desperate Vault-Tech paired up with an even more desperate China to both scare people into living in vaults forever, and eliminate the threat of the “American oppressors.”
So Vault Tech supplies the Chinese with the nukes, and the submarines which the Chinese fit with their often associated stealth capabilities, and end the war, and life in America above ground, letting Vault Tech get away with their experiments for centuries.
Holy shit thats like saying EA betrayed their fans in favour of money and fifa ultimate team....oh wait that happened
Great theory, I think that's valid. Also explains how Zao, a mainland Chinese, could understand and converse in English. There must've been an entity from America hiring them and teaching them English
Yeah.........I'm pretty sure it was lazy environment design.

"Ranging from telling him the BORING truth...."
I think finding the submarine that caused all that death and destruction, repairing it and even meeting the 200+ year old captain is a FAR better Story than some sea monster.
One detail you might have left out was one that really tugs at my heartstrings. I think one of the skeletons, one at least on one of the bunks in the submarine, you would find a teddybear. It was explained that in real-life wars, after being ordered to launch nukes, those who would work in those subs would be extremely struck with grief that they would cry in their bunk while holding a teddybear. It would more than likely be the same case with the Chinese crew who worked on that submarine.
Damn
Sad af
Nobody ever launched a successful nuke on anyone from a sub in real life. There's only been 2 nukes dropped in combat irl

Oh my gosh, that would be an amazing world to explore.
I agree about not being able to tell him that you were there and alive the day his nukes dropped. I feel like out of all of the times you have the option to say that in the game, the most fitting and heart wrenching would have been during this quest. I wish Bethedsa had put that as a dialogue option in the game, I would have loved to see his reaction.
Well you can..and do the proper patriot thing, "you ruined my country" then blast his pinko mush brains all over his beloved commie can.
Fun Fact: The submarine is named after China's biggest river. But actually, Chinese people do not usually call the river "Yangtze(揚子) River", we are more accustomed to call it "長江 Changjiang (The Long River)" . I'm living in Wuhan (Yes you know where that is),
the river runs through the city.
Yes its also known as the yellow river
@@chenterr103 Nope, the Yellow River is another one. The Yangtze River is in south China and the Yellow River is in north China.

I wanna hug him. Poor Zao.... the man needs a hug and a good talk with good people
Antonia Lunarius no kill the bastard for nukinh the entire commonwealth
So nuking hiroshima and nagasaki killing multiple 100.000 innocent civilsts in a matter of seconds and even more of radioactive fallout is way better
Makigames yes
Makigames a lot more people died from what he did
Jess Payne c’mon man.....let the poor bastard be. The war is over, and he had a family too, in China. And just like the generals and sub captains of the US armed forces, they were following orders as well as retaliating. Shit man, both China and the United States were just absolute fucking messes before the bombs fell. Zao was one of many of unfortunate souls forced to participate. The world is forever changed, and hate that was manifested 200 years ago is pointless. I think he should just go back to China where he can maybe die in peace and be with his family, or reconcile with his comrades and attempt to rebuild, to survive.
Imagine how cool it would be to actually fight a sea monster
I can imagine you head to Zao and then you see the sea monster

"There is no such thing as sea monsters."

To be fair, the main character is supposed to come from before the great war, and that would be the standard respond.
So since it's clearly intentional from the writers and makes sense I don't see why the fuss about it.

I really wish Bethesda put more effort into making your character a man/woman out of time that knows of an America before the wastes. Especially during your interactions with the Brotherhood that would be quite the usefull perk.
Like whole quests being based off of intel and stories that the player has. I was wanting something like that sooooooo bad.
