Fun Fact: In the original mutation system for Fallout 76, you could actually become a Super Mutant, but would be limited on your armor choice along with intelligence and charisma debuffs. In this old early stage of the game, mutations had cosmetic effects and you were limited to one mutation which had three stages with an “ultimate” stage which for super mutants temporarily turned you into a super mutant behemoth which could only use melee. This would last for a short duration before you would return to a stage 3 super mutant. Similarly you could also become a Scorched.
In some of the games it would have made sense too! Imagine being a ghoul in new Vegas, but it might not have been done due too the brokenness of rad immunity
At 31:42 the interviewee clearly says: "What have you done to my wife?" But the text says "What have you done to my mother?". Intentional, mistake, or Freudian slip?
@@gigelforlife238 well thats the beauty of voice actors, gheyre able to manipulate their voice. One game sounds like their normal voice, another sounds like they smoked 30 packs of cigs a day for 15 years.
Gauss rifle was one of my favorite weapons in fallout 3 next to ol painless and agatha's blackhawk. Had it in 4 but didn't care for it to much. To heavy and the ammo is insanely expensive. I prefer overseers guardian.
Oxhorn, did I miss it or did you skip the terminal in the second decontamination arch room? Talks about developing the neutralizing agent and when they finally cracked it waited for his boss to come and start breathing fire down his neck then having the crew up-end a barrel of FEV on him and letting him scream and cry for a minute before running him through the neutralizing arch.
Don't you just love how Oxhorn runs a lore focused channel and yet somehow still manages to routinely get details wrong or miss entire segments of the lore he's supposed to be covering? God I miss Shoddycast.
31:44 there must have been a scripting issue at this very moment. While thr character in the holotape says "wife", the in game subtitles said "mother."
After all these years of playing fallout, i just realized why it's called "mariposa military base" and damn whoever put that name is a freaking Genius. you see, "mariposa" means butterfly in spanish, and butterflys are the final evolution of a previous (and ugly specie) named Caterpillar, a butterflys needs to evolve first from a Caterpillar, into a Cocoon then the butterflys come out. In fallout happens the same thing, humans (Aka Caterpillars) are dipped into the vats (Aka cocoons) so they finally evolve into super mutants (Aka butterflys). Well thats how i see it, it's 2:00 AM and i'm sleeepy, hope yall got the point Even with my zug-zug English Lol
3:48 Correct me if I'm wrong, but to my knowledge these paintings are actual real-life paintings. Most of them date back to the early 1900s, when Modernism was booming in the Western World. For those who don't know, modernism basicly is the time when people started to think, and paint, in more of an abstract way( Picasso. You can see a Kandinsky (the one with the circles) a Van Doesburg, an Vantongerloo and other well-known contemporaries. I love these little details those people at Bethesda put in their game, even for the more educated people enjoying their games.
I'm glad you decided to keep doing the Fallout 76 videos, Oxhorn. I have limited satellite internet here, so I wouldn't even be able to play the game. I love the lore of Fallout, and despite 76 being a "spinoff" title, it is considered canon, so... Thank you Oxhorn.
I think the Wes-Tek building in 76 is one of my fav locations. It was swarming with mutants when I got there, barely made it but after killing them I could read the lore and check everything out at my own pace. I really liked it!
@@jamescarlson5401 The Brotherhood being in WV, decades before the left their bunker. Super Mutants in WV. Those are the two main ones, but there are many more.
Interesting to hear a Super Mutant Transformation from an audio tape and you notice as the aggression in her voice increases the moment she’s beginning to transform into the Super Mutant!
Huntersville and the west tech research facility redeemed Fallout 76 for me. I wish it was less buggy but the story and overall tone is EXTREMELY fitting for the Fallout franchise.
I hate to break it to you but the lore in this game ranges from pretty good to really bad. an example can be the responders a faction made up of emergency personal that makes sense and it's a great addition or the free states that is another incredible idea a group of individuals who do not trust the government another excellent lore piece, but the brotherhood of steel should not be here or the super mutants at all it just gets rid of the magic of the first games.

Great vid Ox. About the Flatwoods Monster, I think you missed the holotape part 2 of the Flatwoods Monster radio show thing. I never saw you pick it up. On the road up from the church, heading toward the Red Rocket, you find a house on the right with a yellow mailbox. It's inside the mailbox. It's a good listen and explains a bit about it. Cheers.
At 34:20 Did anyone pick up on the Chuck Finley reference. A pseudonym that the man, the legend, the chin! Bruce “groovy” Cambell used in the tv show Burn Notice. He was an informant for the FBI and he had no real job so his job being “nothing” seems like it’s a possibility this was not just coincidence. And I quote “Are you kidding? Chuck Finley is forever!”
Pink Fluff I’ve seen that in games before. In Batman: Arkham City, the dialogue of the first undercover cop in the museum doesn’t match his subtitles either.
Bethesda made a nice reference resident evil 2 with this quest in fallout 76, like west tec is the umbrella corporation, the fev is the t virus and huntersville is raccoon city.
The whole concept of this doesn't sit right with me. Mariposa makes sense. Taking a population no one will miss, and subjecting them to experiments in a controlled environment. But... just dumping FEV into the water supply of an entire town? No matter how remote, there's no way to ensure operational security. People are going to notice an entire town dropping off the face of the map, and there is a horrendously high chance of your superbug getting out into the wild. Given that FEV was still in the EXTREMELY painful early stages of development, this doesn't make any sense. I mean, if FEV KILLED the populace, that'd be one thing. Town gets wiped out, there are no witnesses, you can cover that up. But if you turn an entire town into super strong, super mean super soldiers with no effective containment perimeter? With the agent getting into the local water table and spreading who knows how far? That's ridiculous even by Fallout Universe standards. This sort os unethical experimentation you save for when you've gotten some idea in the lab what this thing actually DOES.
That's what I was thinking about a few days ago. The infected people were forced to stay hidden inside their homes, and Google Maps may not be a thing in Fallout, but still - What if a satellite recorded a mutant stepping outside real quick to talk to a guard? What if someone in the mountains looked at the town with binoculars or a telescope and saw it with their own eyes?
That's West-Tec, the company that was practically a sick hybrid of Vault-Tec and HalluciGen inc. They had no qualms about doing abhorrent things in the name of science. This practically puts them on par with Med-Tek, who did slightly less atrocious things, but they did it in the name of money.
Best way to describe it is remember the whole town they built during ww2 to house the scientists working on the manhattan project, now revers the roles and you have huntersville
So wait... wouldn't this be a different faction of the BoS if they came from WestTek Appalachia, if they ever discovered the true purpose of this lab? Wouldn't they basically be more militarized towards gathering technology, more aggressive? Like, they would actually kill anything that had advanced technology, whether they were innocent civilians or not? This research facility would also explain WHY there are Super Mutant Behemoths wandering around.
Hee! The 'Charles Finley' entry at 34:26 is a Burn Notice reference--Bruce Campbell's character used 'Chuck Finley' as an alias whenever possible. The height & age are about right, as is the occupation, since Chuck Finley's occupation changed to fit the situation.
What I dont understand is that they started to study FEV in Huntersville by water before they knew if the stuff works. Goes against anything proper scientific study stands for. It should go step by step: first figure out if it works and then start looking into different ways to distribute it. This shows that they did both at the same time. You cannot get reliable results that way since there is no clear continuity to studies. The explanations of cryptids is interesting at first but then it kind of takes away the mystery about them: "oh its the FEV, it did it". Those cryptids are part of the real life lore and explaining away them like that feels cheap.
Even in the Fallout universe the cryptids have been reportedly seen many times before the war, so _maybe_ it's just one *hell* of a coincidence some of the FEV results resembled them. But I know that's a stretch.
@@lazymansload520 Well, usually it is lack of ethics and the like. Otherwise the scientific progress is rather well done or at least not as nonsensical. Now it is just being evil and stupid for the sake of being evil and stupid.
Isn't the computer entry about the o-rings, guy falling in, and diluting the FEV before leaving after the bombs dropped pulled directly from a previous Fallout (either 3 or 4)? I just swear I remember hearing the same exact thing from either one of your videos or from me playing it.
I kinda want to cross check some of the info from town, dates mainly to see how long before they started FEV research, I remember that West Tek coming to town and putting in a new water system was a big deal. Did they originally put in the water system for the crops then mod it for FEV, or were there secret plans from the start to drop the plant research and test on the town? a solid timeline could give clues.
Based on lore, no baby’s were harmed with fev at least in Appalachia. Definitely has happened before but exact evidence is unknown. And I doubt the baby would survive tbh. Based on all the testing in wes-tek and other places, only adults were tested on. I like the idea tho.
Seems like there's a curse in the fallout universe where all companies with "tek" in there name seem to do unethical experiments. From med teks testing on actual live subjects for medical research,
honestly, you made me like fallout and I went and got them all. your videos are needed. you should do more deep lore games like amnesia, dark souls and others. great job on these videos.
I'm gonna go ahead and tell you that Oxhorn publishes this kind of content especially with the kind of mindset Oxhorn has I'm sure he knows about Mk Ultra which is what OP midnight climax was a sub project of that's what it specifically states, but the horrors our government does to us in real life mirrors the fallout universe, I'm just waiting for the day that an actual real life vault tec like company emerges because it will happen. If you dont learn from history you are doomed to repeat it.
Oh hey--excellent way to present a long gun battle. The jump cuts to kills are a far superior way of presenting that type of content. I still don't mind the longer form if you're feeling lazy, or want to pad out the runtime. But it's a better presentation with the jump cuts, if you can swing it.
What kind of straight-up close-minded judgement is that? Fallout 76 has a lot of dense and good lore, the game might be a disaster when it comes to the technical part, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the game lacks when it comes to lore and background environmental story telling.
I only recently started playing this game, and me and a friend blindly stumbled into this building while we were teamed up and we were both only level 20's. My God, it was absolutely brutal!! It felt like there were HUNDREDS of super mutants in there! We got absolutely battered and died numerous times! We both completely ran out of ammo by the end, and we used up our entire supply of stimpacks and food just trying to survive. We even took an elevator downstairs at one point, and as soon as the door opened we were greeted by about 10 super mutants on the other side, one of which was a suicider....and we were trapped in a tiny elevator! Yeah, that was rough! That building is what made me start working on a secondary character build focused on using power armour for when I'm playing co-op lol. Funnily enough, I've gone back in there on my own using my stealth loadout and it was actually pretty easy. I swear they make it ten times harder when you're in a team!
i explored West Tek at level 5 out of curiosity and good lord that is the most challenging thing i've done so far aside from fight a scorched beast for the first time by myself
I know the feeling. I actually enjoy the absolute solitude of the game. I tried teaming up for a while but it never worked out, so I went solo. The other day I snuck into bog town and just sat for a minute to listen to the complete silence. I just sat and looked at the rundown empty houses staring mournfully back at me and I imagined people bustling about their business of survival and now just looking and listening to the menacing silence of it all just made me suddenly shiver. I think this is why I love fallout 3 and 76 so much is simply because there are so few characters of any kind wandering the wastes. I relish the loneliness.
Okay so at 48:10 I can see green glowing tubes in the background with people(?) in them. Did I miss Ox's explanation or is it part of another quest/video? Because I can't find any part in the video where Ox examines the tubes more closely.
I wish west-tec just stuck to power armor. It would be cool to discover prototype mods for the T-60 or T-51. West-tec would be way different without FEV
@@vikiai4241, except that's how it was in previous games exactly. New Vegas? Almost nothing but spoonfed exposition from literally every NPC in the damn game! This is what i like to call "Destiny Syndrome", which is where in a RPG or any game with a ton of characters those characters all spout out mindless exposition. Samefor every single fallout before 4 and 76.

*4:04** Weather not found!* (Seriously!? leaving painted canvases exposed to the weather for X amount of years (artist = skeleton) and the colors are crisp & the canvas is undamaged %facepalm!% )
28:48 - this is where I always get my ass handed to me. I need better strategies for dealing with crowd control in enclosed spaces. And Supermutants - none of my weapons seem to really do enough damage to Supermutants and I keep getting surrounded here.
I'm glad your enjoying the game Ox and ignoring the haters, the past few patches and recent one have improved the game I haven't crashed since, and its really sad the game has been out for over 2 months and the haters are still whining about it, i find the lore to be really interesting, nice vid looking forward to the next.
As far as we know, only four groups have made super mutants. Vault-Tec in the Capital Wasteland, The Master out in the west, The Institute in the Commonwealth, and finally West-tec in West Virginia.
Hey ox. I have something to say 1 Thing. You inspired me to play fallout 4 and 76 and i watch most of ur lore and got most of my crap ii just wanna thank you so much man oxhorn your the best man.
4:41 Oxhorn says "we can hear Super Mutants at the parking lot." Super Mutant Enforcer says "I can hear you." Lol
brm ScottishHighguard200 how did you spell hear right in the second quote but not the first lol I agree my friend I lol’d too
Haha yeah this got me lol'ing as well!!
brm Bismarck you spelt hear wrong in the first quote REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I dropped a mini nuke on the super mutants in the parking lot from the roof lol
"Could the baby have escaped?"
>baby crawling away from West Tek as musbrom clouds bloom in the distance
The baby: wow big mushroom *more baby noises
Knowing how baby’s can somehow destroy all most anything it would probably see the nuke and be like “are you challenging me?”

On the road up from the church, heading toward the Red Rocket, you find a house on the right with a yellow mailbox. It's inside the mailbox. It's a good listen and explains a bit about it. Cheers.
I was expecting Oasis pt2 for some reason
At 34:20 Did anyone pick up on the Chuck Finley reference. A pseudonym that the man, the legend, the chin! Bruce “groovy” Cambell used in the tv show Burn Notice. He was an informant for the FBI and he had no real job so his job being “nothing” seems like it’s a possibility this was not just coincidence.
And I quote
“Are you kidding? Chuck Finley is forever!”
I'm starting to think Alex Jones was the one writing Fallout.
"Could the baby have escaped" Like... are you suggesting the baby just walked out of there?
31:40 The subtitle doesn't match up with what's said
Pink Fluff I’ve seen that in games before. In Batman: Arkham City, the dialogue of the first undercover cop in the museum doesn’t match his subtitles either.
Wife? Mother? Same thing...
Wait.
Lol, true
That is common throughout fallout.
Well, as common as the Mysterious Stranger
Nah, hes just a fan of freud
Charles Finley is a nod to Burn Notice. It’s the alias Sam Axe uses whenever he needs to use a different name.
31:42 probably just a small miss write but the subtitles say "where is my mother" whereas the recording says "where is my wife"
Mike pence?
Freud?
Bethesda made a nice reference resident evil 2 with this quest in fallout 76, like west tec is the umbrella corporation, the fev is the t virus and huntersville is raccoon city.
So.... PVP in Fallout 76 is really a disease?!? That makes more sense now.... ;)
AWARHERO dang! I wish I would’ve come up with that one.
The whole concept of this doesn't sit right with me.
Mariposa makes sense. Taking a population no one will miss, and subjecting them to experiments in a controlled environment.
But... just dumping FEV into the water supply of an entire town? No matter how remote, there's no way to ensure operational security. People are going to notice an entire town dropping off the face of the map, and there is a horrendously high chance of your superbug getting out into the wild. Given that FEV was still in the EXTREMELY painful early stages of development, this doesn't make any sense.
I mean, if FEV KILLED the populace, that'd be one thing. Town gets wiped out, there are no witnesses, you can cover that up. But if you turn an entire town into super strong, super mean super soldiers with no effective containment perimeter? With the agent getting into the local water table and spreading who knows how far? That's ridiculous even by Fallout Universe standards.
This sort os unethical experimentation you save for when you've gotten some idea in the lab what this thing actually DOES.
That's what I was thinking about a few days ago. The infected people were forced to stay hidden inside their homes, and Google Maps may not be a thing in Fallout, but still -
What if a satellite recorded a mutant stepping outside real quick to talk to a guard? What if someone in the mountains looked at the town with binoculars or a telescope and saw it with their own eyes?
That's West-Tec, the company that was practically a sick hybrid of Vault-Tec and HalluciGen inc. They had no qualms about doing abhorrent things in the name of science. This practically puts them on par with Med-Tek, who did slightly less atrocious things, but they did it in the name of money.
Might represent the difference between a professional military research operation and a bunch of civilian cowboys.
Yeah they are retconning everything
Best way to describe it is remember the whole town they built during ww2 to house the scientists working on the manhattan project, now revers the roles and you have huntersville
My worst fear- your overcumberd you can’t fast travel
At least we know who may have endorsed that experiment at Vault 87. West Tek and Vault-Tech for the win.
They're literally perfect for each other.
Damn was West Tek a nightmare to clear at level 25 with a somewhat modified combat rifle and a black powder rifle with no damage perks whatsoever...
Huntersville- Wow, so West Tek, what are doing doing all the way out here?
West Tek- Don't worry about it.
So wait... wouldn't this be a different faction of the BoS if they came from WestTek Appalachia, if they ever discovered the true purpose of this lab?
Wouldn't they basically be more militarized towards gathering technology, more aggressive? Like, they would actually kill anything that had advanced technology, whether they were innocent civilians or not?
This research facility would also explain WHY there are Super Mutant Behemoths wandering around.
Hee! The 'Charles Finley' entry at 34:26 is a Burn Notice reference--Bruce Campbell's character used 'Chuck Finley' as an alias whenever possible. The height & age are about right, as is the occupation, since Chuck Finley's occupation changed to fit the situation.
What I dont understand is that they started to study FEV in Huntersville by water before they knew if the stuff works. Goes against anything proper scientific study stands for. It should go step by step: first figure out if it works and then start looking into different ways to distribute it. This shows that they did both at the same time. You cannot get reliable results that way since there is no clear continuity to studies.
The explanations of cryptids is interesting at first but then it kind of takes away the mystery about them: "oh its the FEV, it did it". Those cryptids are part of the real life lore and explaining away them like that feels cheap.
Even in the Fallout universe the cryptids have been reportedly seen many times before the war, so _maybe_ it's just one *hell* of a coincidence some of the FEV results resembled them. But I know that's a stretch.
I think about half of the research programs in any fallout game go against what proper scientific study stands for...
@@lazymansload520 Well, usually it is lack of ethics and the like. Otherwise the scientific progress is rather well done or at least not as nonsensical. Now it is just being evil and stupid for the sake of being evil and stupid.
Isn't the computer entry about the o-rings, guy falling in, and diluting the FEV before leaving after the bombs dropped pulled directly from a previous Fallout (either 3 or 4)? I just swear I remember hearing the same exact thing from either one of your videos or from me playing it.
I love the way you say "Super Mutant", and you say it a hundred times in this video 😆
I kinda want to cross check some of the info from town, dates mainly to see how long before they started FEV research,
I remember that West Tek coming to town and putting in a new water system was a big deal.
Did they originally put in the water system for the crops then mod it for FEV, or were there secret plans from the start to drop the plant research and test on the town?
a solid timeline could give clues.
Would have been interesting to see a FEV Baby in a test tube or show step by step the progression of the mutation in the tubes.
Done by an artificial intelligence no less. Zeta hybridization & all for sure. The FEV & GECK are an entity.
Based on lore, no baby’s were harmed with fev at least in Appalachia. Definitely has happened before but exact evidence is unknown. And I doubt the baby would survive tbh. Based on all the testing in wes-tek and other places, only adults were tested on. I like the idea tho.
At 31:50 the closed caption says mother while the voice over says wife. Its 1am and this is my life now
Seems like there's a curse in the fallout universe where all companies with "tek" in there name seem to do unethical experiments. From med teks testing on actual live subjects for medical research,
west tek's FEV experiments on the town of hunt, and the infamous vault tek vaults
honestly, you made me like fallout and I went and got them all. your videos are needed. you should do more deep lore games like amnesia, dark souls and others. great job on these videos.
Oxhorn I'm going to assume you've never heard of operation midnight climax. Look it up it was a real thing in the US during the Cold War.
Real interesting stuff if I may add
I'm gonna go ahead and tell you that Oxhorn publishes this kind of content especially with the kind of mindset Oxhorn has I'm sure he knows about Mk Ultra which is what OP midnight climax was a sub project of that's what it specifically states, but the horrors our government does to us in real life mirrors the fallout universe, I'm just waiting for the day that an actual real life vault tec like company emerges because it will happen. If you dont learn from history you are doomed to repeat it.
If you like environmental storytelling, I think you'll love the soulsborne games Ox
Oh hey--excellent way to present a long gun battle. The jump cuts to kills are a far superior way of presenting that type of content.
I still don't mind the longer form if you're feeling lazy, or want to pad out the runtime. But it's a better presentation with the jump cuts, if you can swing it.
I got excited when I though it was Fallout 3 lore...
What kind of straight-up close-minded judgement is that?
Fallout 76 has a lot of dense and good lore, the game might be a disaster when it comes to the technical part, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the game lacks when it comes to lore and background environmental story telling.
Mega oof
Mister_A he was talking about the Oasis video.
@@SuperCreeper38 don't worry just let this weeb ramble his statements and opinions don't count anyway
@@SuperCreeper38 Butthurted FO76 fan who loses its mind when someone accidently thought this fas FO3.
I only recently started playing this game, and me and a friend blindly stumbled into this building while we were teamed up and we were both only level 20's.
My God, it was absolutely brutal!! It felt like there were HUNDREDS of super mutants in there! We got absolutely battered and died numerous times! We both completely ran out of ammo by the end, and we used up our entire supply of stimpacks and food just trying to survive. We even took an elevator downstairs at one point, and as soon as the door opened we were greeted by about 10 super mutants on the other side, one of which was a suicider....and we were trapped in a tiny elevator! Yeah, that was rough!
That building is what made me start working on a secondary character build focused on using power armour for when I'm playing co-op lol. Funnily enough, I've gone back in there on my own using my stealth loadout and it was actually pretty easy. I swear they make it ten times harder when you're in a team!
~50 minutes of FALLOUT lore by oxhorn WOOHOO !
@A A you dont need to buy or play it to have some lore XD
@A A better than no content :P
i explored West Tek at level 5 out of curiosity and good lord that is the most challenging thing i've done so far aside from fight a scorched beast for the first time by myself
18:38 release the hounds
Who let the dogs out!?
Thank the creators that you are here. I didn’t give time to read any lore during my gameplay and this is nice to kick back and listen to.
Oxhorn your awesome I can't get fallout 76 but I still am interested in the fallout lore thanks for all that you do.
When the specimen says "What have you done to my wife!?" in the hollotape, the subtitles say "What did you do to my mother!?"
Sometimes when I play fallout this game makes you so lonely I'm scared when I don't have a companion
I know the feeling. I actually enjoy the absolute solitude of the game. I tried teaming up for a while but it never worked out, so I went solo. The other day I snuck into bog town and just sat for a minute to listen to the complete silence. I just sat and looked at the rundown empty houses staring mournfully back at me and I imagined people bustling about their business of survival and now just looking and listening to the menacing silence of it all just made me suddenly shiver. I think this is why I love fallout 3 and 76 so much is simply because there are so few characters of any kind wandering the wastes. I relish the loneliness.
Okay so at 48:10 I can see green glowing tubes in the background with people(?) in them. Did I miss Ox's explanation or is it part of another quest/video? Because I can't find any part in the video where Ox examines the tubes more closely.
I'm amazed how many Fallout fans I know that think our real life government likes us and doesn't experiment on us...
I wish west-tec just stuck to power armor. It would be cool to discover prototype mods for the T-60 or T-51. West-tec would be way different without FEV
How good are you in fallout man like you wiped out an entire super mutant camp.
You’ll like a boss man
audio "wheres my wife"
text "wheres my mother"

Fallout 76 needs to add an Oxhorn NPC companion to the game that explains the invisible lore to you.
invisible lore?
@@StygianIkazuchi He means "not spoon-fed".
@@vikiai4241, except that's how it was in previous games exactly. New Vegas? Almost nothing but spoonfed exposition from literally every NPC in the damn game! This is what i like to call "Destiny Syndrome", which is where in a RPG or any game with a ton of characters those characters all spout out mindless exposition. Samefor every single fallout before 4 and 76.
I’m a little surprised you haven’t covered the Kanawha Nuka-Cola Plant yet. I for one would love your storytelling abilities to reveal the full story behind it.
*4:04** Weather not found!*
(Seriously!? leaving painted canvases exposed to the weather for X amount of years (artist = skeleton) and the colors are crisp & the canvas is undamaged %facepalm!% )
They want you to recognize the paints..
@@patience__8051 Lead paint survives the apocalypse.
28:48 - this is where I always get my ass handed to me. I need better strategies for dealing with crowd control in enclosed spaces. And Supermutants - none of my weapons seem to really do enough damage to Supermutants and I keep getting surrounded here.
Perfect to watch while eating dinner 😺
Is FO76 really 6 years old now? Man, time flies.
WEST SIDEEEEE lol nice video Oxhorn
East side
Lol Charles aka 'Chuck' Finley from Burn Notice. Even matches up with Bruce Campbell's height.
I'm glad your enjoying the game Ox and ignoring the haters, the past few patches and recent one have improved the game I haven't crashed since, and its really sad the game has been out for over 2 months and the haters are still whining about it, i find the lore to be really interesting, nice vid looking forward to the next.
The games still broken after 2 months,what with all the duping
@@lalo-kt4te Yea, the duping is the biggest problem.
@@lalo-kt4te BUT the rest of the game is decent to good.
Did anyone else notice around 31:40, during the supermutant interview, Billy is asking for his wife, but in the text he's asking for his mother?
Only 360p.
Corrected just after 8 minutes, thats fast other channels take hours to do that.
to be fair, fallout 76 looks better that way
Mongs who care about video quality
As far as we know, only four groups have made super mutants. Vault-Tec in the Capital Wasteland, The Master out in the west, The Institute in the Commonwealth, and finally West-tec in West Virginia.
why is the quality limit 360p
Because of a fail in TH-cam rendering.
Because it was just uploaded its always in 360p until ita fully uploaded in 1020p
I put mine i 144pi for best resolutions
Because its been touched by Bethesda lol
Hey ox. I have something to say 1
Thing. You inspired me to play fallout 4 and 76 and i watch most of ur lore and got most of my crap ii just wanna thank you so much man oxhorn your the best man.
Sweet, buttery, lore!
i wonder if one of the escaped ones is Grahm. you see him walking around the place with his Chally Moo Moo. hes a merchant and fun to run into.
