Now I just want a single player game that lives through this era with all these factions. It’s really sad that we didn’t get a game filled with these colorful and interesting characters.
I've thought about this a lot, and I think there are two options that I think would work here: 1) Narrative driven linear game where you're playing a character moving between the factions that ends up fleeing before the fall. Would be cool to have that character show up as an NPC in 76 2) Television Series following a character in each group from shortly before the bombs until they each die or flee.
it’s oddly, ominus. you know people had history and you could make it up in your mind. but i just makes sense you don’t have to know what happened you could just walk away. and it just seems a sad calming in the entire game when it was just the NPC update but after it. it has a hopeful feel now.
If you get chance watch an old tv show from the early 2000s called Jericho, set after a nuclear event and the survivors in the first 2 years of survival
Great work, love how you laid this out. Can you imagine how amazing the game could of been if we’d have a game living through the time the free states came out of their bunkers?
Free States vs Enclave makes way more sense imo than BOS vs Enclave. Not only because their feud goes before the war but, they genuinely have opposing views where as Enclave vs BOS started purely because they were both the power armored, high tech factions and they really only had to fear each other in the West.
Not necessarily. The BoS began entirely because of the abuses of the government and Maxson’s disgust with his nation. And the Enclave are the distilled, concentrated of the US government’s very worst elements. I could very easily see the more zealotish members seeing battle with the Enclave to be a holy mission. And more altruistic members would see it just being right to fight against the monsters of the Enclave. This latter element is seen with Lyons’s chapter.
FS vs BOS makes good sense. It's libertarianism vs fascism. The Free States respect individual rights without exception or further expectations beyond a loose cooperation while the BOS expects personal sacrifice from all, in pursuit of an end goal benefiting all. Controlled entirely and completed secretly only by those in a certain specific group with no transparency even considered. It's a common fault laid against Libertarianism, the inability to overcome significant enough issues facing everyone at once across a whole community like the Scorch Plague. Their policies would have seen humanity ended. It also highlights the mindset's strengths against certain other significant issues that would strike mortally wounds against other ideologies chances of survival. Even through a surprise nuclear attack, and the world after, normal people survived thanks to their Libertarian ideology directing focus towards an individual's responsibility to protect themselves. Leading them to their initial building of the bunkers as well as their disinterest in agreeing to exchange the limited resources they've managed to accumulate for BOS protection. There will always be strengths and weaknesses to any political or societal ideology. To have any chance at success we must be willing to overcome differences and make concessions. Respect the perspectives and seek to find a way to reach their goals without sacrificing your values. Make unreconcilable difference you'll never see eye to eye on known, make your agreements known. Then go for whatever level of agreement can be made that doesn't step on the toes of either side. Allows them to work symbiotically exclusively where there's at least enough agreement to have been made in compromise.
Excellent rundown. Abby has a corpse file in the datafiles but it's no where physically in game. Sadly she's one of yhe three of holotapes I'd enjoy meeting. Wonderful as always. Keep up the good work.
A great summary of my favorite faction in any Fallout game! Thanks!! Incidentally, any fans of the Free States who are looking for some fan content, I made a Radio Program hosted by a member of the next generation of the movement! It's posted on my channel.
I am binge watching this whole playlist! I forgot how alone and quiet the world was before wastelanders! I’ve played since beta and there’s been so much change! It’s great to come back to the way it was! Thanks for the videos!
Very well done, great explanation and all factions and storylines tied together nicely. They all sound like Appalachians not in how they talk but how they think and act.
Hey amigo, I'd like to thank you for your series of videos on Fallout 76's actual story and lore. I've played the game all the way through before wastelanders and I've subsequently played it quite a bit after, but I never could put all the dots together on the story with how odd 76's gameplay was. The vibe was too off when playing with friends to actually sit down and read all the terminals and listen to all the holotapes like the single player games. Much more enjoyable than Oxhorn too!
Key Findings From Video: Isolation and Lack of Cooperation. 35:10 Bit of foreshadowing that rebuilding in Appalachia shall not succeed as initially planned. In addition other questions should be raised such as likely hidden forces possibly controlling the entire area, which is similar to nefarious ideas of controlled experimental vaults. Also, other very strange things occurring in Appalachia, like 1, sightings of aliens; 2. new waves of mutants, scorched (all types), robots, and so on; 3. who is really keeping the vendor bots supplied and operational?; 4. inability to communicate to far away regions, or states, or other countries; 5. possibility of very well hidden bunkers, or very deep bunkers hard to find, or of very high space platforms being used by hidden forces; 6. possible development of synths and disguised robots; 7. continued operation of bioengineer labs that are well hidden. ---- Very interesting aspect on Free States in Fallout 76 that seems very plausible and close to real life. Was the Free States mentioned in either Fallout 1, 2, 3, or 4?
The Free States was local to the area around Harpers Ferry. The closest wasteland we’ve seen outside 76 is the Capital Wasteland in Fallout 3, and they were not mentioned there, nor in the others.

I think all mainstream Fallout games will take place in the US, but I'd like to see an adventure game set at least partially in China. I've talked about this elsewhere, but I think a game where you control a soldier, or party of soldiers, trapped in China after the bombs who have to make their way back to the US would be really interesting, and give us a view of China in the process.

It’s better to die on your feet fighting for your beliefs than to live your life on your knees scared to change anything

I think the Free States should have been one of the Wastelander factions to return with Abbey in the lead.
This is the richest, and saddest, story in Fallout 76. President Eisenhower was right: “Beware the Military-Industrial Complex.
So many parallels IRL
Excellent rundown. Abby has a corpse file in the datafiles but it's no where physically in game.

I really enjoyed this video, and i will be rewatching it several times. *** Thank you for sharing your hard work.

Thank you so much for these lore videos, they're incredibly well researched and presented. Keep it up!
I recently found your channel please keep it up you have a great content and lore of fallout is almost infinite I wish luck and happy new year
Enjoying this channel! Keep up the great work ! Liked and subbed
Very well done, great explanation and all factions and storylines tied together nicely. They all sound like Appalachians not in how they talk but how they think and act.
Great content. Very thorough.
It is downright offensive to Fallout Lore that you do not have more subscribers and views, truly. Keep up the good work!
One of the best lore videos I've seen in a while with some smooth narration - Take my sub!

Comes across a free stats bunker
Me: how to fuck do you have enclave access
i hope they return as a faction and abbey's fate is unknown
how the … do you only have 3k subs
The time i played 76 i used free states baners and stuff. Cool fraction but sadly killed off as a fetus
abbeys fate is unknown and i hope she comes back
One question I always wanted answered what happened to Quinn?
It would be pretty cool to meet Quinn Carter
@@IrresoluteCartographer she would be a treasure trove of information
@@IrresoluteCartographer like we have no confirmation she died and no audio logs from her after the flood I hope she made it knowing what little I do about her she’s gotta still be out there
All these amazing stories that we never got to see play out. What a waste!
The free states sound a lot like the militia movement of the 1990s...
1940s for me 😅
We need a fallout China game

This game is like perfect left-wing propaganda. I fucking love it it’s amazing. Fucking based as shit!
