The NCR and Great Khans' origins being in the same vault is insane, putting Bitter Springs - and the Courier's efforts to negotiate that the Khans fight against the Legion - into a whole new light
My best friend, Justin, was a HUGE fan of the fallout series. It was his absolute favorite He died in 2014 before Fallout 4 came out. Since then, I've always wanted to attempt to get a memorial to him in a Bethesda game, but have never really attempted to do it until now. Oxhorn has amazing fans. I would like to ask you guys to help me reach Bethesda so that my friend can be memorialized in his favorite series forever. I know you guys will help me. Maybe even the big man himself :). I even have a petition started that has almost 750 signatures after just one day. It blows me away how supportive the fallout community is. Thank you
Gavin O'Flaherty Well I can't post links in this comment section. But if you go to the fallout subreddit, you'll see my post with the link there. Cheers my friend. :)
Stealthmailman I really hope it happens but it’s unfortunately extremely unlikely, a big company like Bethesda I’m sure get loads of emails about fans who have passed away.
Difficult to envision how Shady Sands, a village settlement with a few concrete bunker-shaped houses, became the capital and most populated city in the NCR and the entire known world.
Hey Ox, discovered your channel pretty late but that meant I could binge watch all your previous vids whenever I wanted. Then came the day when I actually had to wait for new content. Totally worth it!
Can't think of how hard it must be to make videos on the classic games given how your style of video is tailored more towards character interactions and consequences in the 3d ones. That said, these are of great quality and amongst the best classic fallout videos on TH-cam. Keep it up, Ox. Loving this content.
I received the fallout bundle way back in the day from a closing comic book store for free with a few unopened comics and honestly got stuck in the very first cave for years. I really respect the amount of work each of these videos take. You are an awesome guy ox
thanks oxhorn, im really sick, and there is nothing i was looking foreward to all night while not able to sleep. Thank you so much, thank you thankyou thankyou
I’m so glad you’re doing a series on Fallout 1. I started my first play through and needed this helpful “guide” to give me a push in the right direction
I just ordered Fallout 3 and New Vegas I'm watching all your lore videos to help me get immersed. Also your videos are great background noise. Love ya.
I wouldn't do that honestly. Play it and don't spoil anything, stick to the episodes that are more miscellaneous and not containing any spoilers. Then come back and see all the possible stuff you probably may have missed
@@easyfatchick666 and that's what I love about him so many dark secrets that I wouldn't fully understand or know going on that's I love fallout and games with deep lore
@@Razor-Blade oh man absolutely, a lot of times you don't notice simply because you're focused on finishing whatever you're doing. He really dives into the material though I always wonder how much he digs through every nook and cranny, every scrap of lore regardless of how obscure or not. I've been a big fan for a while now. I also really dig the whiskey and cigar deal as well, very choice
Shady Sans and then the NCR being formed by the ancestors of Vault dwellers adds a bit of irony to Vault-Tec dropping a bomb on the NCR as it would never had existed if it weren't for Vault-Tec.

Look how much you've grown, Oxhorn. I remember your first few videos, like Hark! Hear the Wails and Racing the Grimtotem.... and Inventing Swear Words and more. Good to see you at 975K subs, you deserve atleast 5 million subs, even 10 million. I love all your videos, and your old videos are part of my childhood.
So glad you started my favorite Fallout! Too many people don't know enough about this game. I always enjoy your Fallout content so this will be a real treat.

I always try Fallout 2 and stop it when in Arroyo.

Hello OX ... I really enjoy these videos on fallout 1 because I bought the game and played it when it first came out . I did not know a thing about it but remember buying because it mentioned "wasteland " on the cover... these videos bring back a lot of memories for me as it was the first game I ever found a guide for on the internet! I played it with my best friend and cousin for hours and this game blew our minds lol now many years later seeing this and now being unable to play it and having lost touch with that old friend it really means a lot.. thank you so much.
Ironically enough, the now episode 3 of this series was the very first video I’ve ever watched on your channel. I think I’ll go back and watch it again. Edit: Thanks for liking my comment!
I can’t describe how excited I am to see this series happening. I’m not super interested in playing Fallout 1, but the story is something I AM super interested. Thanks Oxhorn!
Feeling challenged, I took a quick look into Longman's Pronunciation Dictionary for the word "schism" and sure enough, there is no . The same goes for the Oxford English Dictionary: . And as for the original word, it is "skhisma". It is Old Greek for "cleft".
Hey Oxhorn, loving the Fallout 1 Lore! One of my favourite games and I’m glad to see you’re finally tackling it! Hopefully your playthrough will inspire others to play this great game!
My dear Oxhorn, you are able to get your way with Tandi. You just need Male character with Charisma higher than 8. She's into cute guys, y'know. There's even a little 'extra' in this ... ehrm ... turn of events.
I’ve seen this series MULTIPLE times. But I love to watch this or even listen as background noise during lunch at work to unwind. Keep up the good work!!
Wow... Ox, you really did a great job at this. I can't even begin to imagine how long it took you to get all this footage plus all the backtracking you had to do to get all possible solutions PLUS telling us which choice is the canon one. I raise my glass to you, sir!
My ONE complaint with Fallout 2 is that it forces one very specific set of outcomes from Fallout 1 as canon. The Original Khans are wiped out, Tandi survives and is inspired by the encounter to form the NCR and annex most of the nearby city states, the Necropolis is wiped out by mutants, the mutants are wiped out before they can destroy anyone EXCEPT them, and Gizmo fails in his power struggle. That's it. If the first two games were to be remade(as well as fixing some of the broken quests and mechanics in Fallout 1), I'd love Fallout 2 to potentially become a completely different game if you make different choices in the first game. (Which if they kept the same late 90s art style could be doable) Like, maybe Tandi dies and her father maintains Shady Shores as an isolated town. Or maybe your power character talks her into running off on an adventure as she was initially inclined. Maybe you and Ian butcher them all and leave the town to rot. Maybe you cut a deal with Ian to put him in charge after killing those two and in exchange you get the loot. Maybe the Khans are left alone and become a major faction player in the wasteland and Fallout 2 is about them competing with whoever unites elsewhere. Maybe the player joins them and conquer the entire northern wasteland? Maybe you asurp Garl by pretending to be his dead dad or beating him in the ring of combat? Maybe you cut a deal with them to leave your pet town alone and they proceed to target elsewhere? Maybe the Necropolis...survives, a ghoul utopia, instead of being the ONLY place in the game where the mutant army canonically reaches for some reason? Or maybe you just let them die of thirst same dif as before really. Maybe without Tandi in the picture Junktowm unifies the city states? But under Killian or Gizmo? Or perhaps if you leave them both in a brutal power struggle The Hub rises to prominence? Or maybe all of them remain free city states? Maybe the Mutants are stopped slightly later and more of the southern wasteland is wiped out? Maybe they're stopped somewhat last minute and Fallout 2 features you clawing back control of the southern regions from Mutant remnants who stuck around after their leader died? Maybe you joined them and Fallout 2 involves you fighting them as the main enemy as they try to cure their sterility problem before it's too late? Maybe you and your gaggle of allies (Ian and Gycho and Dogmeat oh my) survive to the end, kill the Overseer, and take over Vault 13 by force? Maybe you lead them outside to form your own city state? Or if you wiped out Sandy Shores earilier you take over that empty city? THINK of the possibiltiys!
Just gotta say... putting in that work that seems like it’d be awesome to do, but also stressful to analyze and edit; I owe a sincere thank you. Always excited to listen to you spin a tale I’m too spaced out sometimes to realize. Hope you genuinely enjoy your work and enjoy doing it. Keep doing you Ox!
The story of Fallout 1 and it's vaults??? Omg I was wondering if you'd make a series for Fallout 1! I've never played Fallout 1 and 2 so I am excited for this!
Oxhorn, the word "schism" comes from the Greek "σχίσμα" /skeesma/, but because in German the letters "sch" are pronounced like the English "sh" people started to think that "schism" is pronounced like "shizm", which is honestly incorrect.
According to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, the word originally never had the "ch", and was pronounced "sizm". The word's spelling was changed to include the "ch", and from that point onward, some pronounced it "skizm". "skizm" has long been regarded as the incorrect way to say it, but has become so common, that it is now acceptable. The word is pronounced three ways today, in order of popularity: "skizm", "sizm", and "shizm". All three are correct. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schism#cite_note-1
Alright, fair enough. I just look at things from a purely etymological standpoint as opposed to a practical and sociolinguistic standpoint like you did. But I only ever meant to blame this pronunciation standard for existing and not blame you for being generally incorrect.
Yan Alkovic I don't understand why people bother arguing when they don't know what they are talking about. Oxhorn is right. The word entered the Middle English vocabulary from Old French. There is no direct connection in terms of pronunciation to Greek or German. The Old French spelling is "scisme" and the English pronounced it as "siz-em". It was in the late 18th century that people began to propose that the pronunciation should change in order to stay true to the Latin and Greek roots of the word (this along with other words that have a "ch"). And it was only in the 1960's that this alternative pronunciation was officially accepted by linguists in the US. It was considered a colloquialism and an error until then.
The Woolly Eel Wow, thanks, dude, I didn’t know that! I’m honestly just a bit lazy to do that much research. I just knew the Greek word so I immediately set out to write the comment based on just that and my assumption on the origin of the mispronunciation. But although the word didn’t come directly from German it still appears fairly likely that it was due to the influence of that orthographic convention and the introduction of German names with the trigraph “sch” to America. Or is there another explanation for that? Then again, why isn’t there a similar variability in words like “schizophrenia” even though it comes from the same root?
These Fallout 1 and 2 story videos are so insightful for me. I didn't get the chance to play a Fallout game til part 3 and New Vegas came out for the 360. I appreciate the story recap and your narration of it. Reminds me of listening to audio books of my favorite novels growing up as well. 😁😁😁
Tried to look up the etymology of schism and found that the OG latin is literally spelled with a hard k; "skhizein", with that softer shism pronunciation nowhere to be found. Sorry Ox, but I think you're off on this one. However, I did find an intersting article on the etymology, and correct way of saying, pronunciation/pronounciation. So maybe language is flexible and we should all try not to step on too many toes. Super happy to see you getting into Fallout 1, it was the first video game I bought on my own. I have had so much fun with your content and look forward to what you produce!
Because the word from which 'schism' is derived is Latin & Greek, the 'ch' is appropriately pronounced as a 'k' sound. Ox's pronunciation is a hold over from pre-16th century when the spelling was based off the Old French. There are alternate acceptable pronunciations, but there is an entomological reason that and historical support for one of them being correct.
my only question is if its supposed to be pronounced skisim, then why did whoever translated it use spelling that would indicate it was pronounced shisim? ch is almost always pronounced phonetically at the end of a word, or sh if not at the end of a word. i mean its possible, there are plenty of other screwy words like that, but most are foreign words that we just adopted as other Europeans immigrated and became part of our culture.
On horn I love how you go into such deep lore into the videos that some people wouldn’t even realise exist! Thank you so much for putting so much effort into your videos just for us to watch. Keep up the great work!
They're definitely gonna have to rewrite the lore of Vault 15 "for modern audiences". Everyone knows diversity is our strength and a vault full of people with drastically different cultures and ideologies would be a paragon of peace, tranquility, and progress.
Great video once again. I applaud you sir! The amount of info you give regarding the Raider gangs is awesome! I have played Fallout a while back and to see how many different outcomes (and ways to go about certain quests) there are is mindblowing to say the least. Also, the luck skill is actually worth investing in here unlike the later games. Good job!!
That's what's wrong with you bronies. You always... ALWAYS try to imprint your weird love for mlp onto other fandoms. Even if they never cared in the first place.
@@andykaufman7686 that is a good question.. The first religions i think were based on luck or weather so if there is no bad luck or bad weather i think there wouldn't be religion... As for the modern religions i think it is hard to say where they are for i think they were invented to make people behave: if you don't behave you burn in hell but if you are a good person you will have a nice time after death
Fenno Graas I think there are horrifying things that can happen and very surrealist loving things that can happen based on whatever an infinite creator wishes upon us to balance our energy. God is the devil and they must be the same to balance the life here. I don’t believe in rules I think morally you can save yourself from pain
Fenno Graas the thing I find with religions is that although they may seem primitive and outdated, every myth has a seed of truth to be found. An example is how the Jews and Muslims in their banning of certain meats (in both, the pig) their is a reason to it, in that of they tends to have high fat and low protein. Christianity was a reformation of Judaism, and helps by giving a set of successful rules for life, thereby giving a more successful community. This moral base is (in my opinion) what allowed the West to develop at a much faster pace. “Render under Caesar” would be a example, with the separation of church and state money, and “you shall not bear false witness” is another example, in that one should put the law before religion in a judicial case.
Yes about the meat its actually good I wonder if they did it for the reason you gave but it alowed Jewish people to live longer and healthy (of course other religions thought it was for another reason) but sticking with traditions isn't always a good thing for a civilized society to move forward of course they did live longer but these days thanks to the progress we make we live longer and better which just isn't possible when you stick with tradition and religion
"To populate a vault with people who held extremely diverse ideologies and who came from different cultures. Not exactly the recipe for creating a tranquil vault" Sounds like the lefts goal for the west. Replace the word "vault" with "society" and see how well that describes modern day multiculturalist societies.
Hey Ox you missed a few wall lockers in vault 15. They’re small rectangular and look almost like vent ducts. One can be found on the right wall of the entrance hallway past the blown-off vault door.
Man seeing your hugh level character and I was like. "Woah, I wonder how much time he put into these playthroughs?" I remember Fallout 1 being a really long game.
Thank you for making this series, as great as fallout 1 and 2 are, I just can't get over the over the eye pov. So watching the story this way is entertaining.
I love listening to your videos when Im doing something because I get so invested into what Im hearing it distracts me and before I know it I am done doing whatever boring chore I was trying to power through so thank you!
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart there was a time when I couldn't fall asleep I would literally lay in bed for hours before I can pass out now I put on one of your videos I pass right out thank you for the bedtime Stories
I didn't know there are so many ways to rescue Tandi. The first one is amazing. Killing Khans in the early phase of the game isn't so tough. I used to do it many times even without reaching Vault 15. You have to start with the tents and kill as many of raiders as possible before the rest come.
This is my third time listening to you do the whole story of fallout I love it so much I listen to it while i work alot and i cant wait for the story of fallout 4 to be complete i wish i could donate and help out and i think about it every time the videos end one day I'll have enough to do so
1:13 "We also find rodents, dozens of them littering the small space, after killing them all - for the experience." Look, I understand you want to make memories during your adventures, but that's just straight-up psychotic, Oxhorn...
The NCR and Great Khans' origins being in the same vault is insane, putting Bitter Springs - and the Courier's efforts to negotiate that the Khans fight against the Legion - into a whole new light
The Khans weren´t that big of a deal before they became Great.
agree the Great Khan had a best ending in NV and a good future to the wasteland
Make the khans great again.... come on I had to
anonymous anonymous I agree they did and they did better than NCR did as well also that good one
yeah then I did an ncr playthrough of new vegas, nothin says "NCR elite soldier" like genociding great khans due to orders.

My best friend, Justin, was a HUGE fan of the fallout series. It was his absolute favorite He died in 2014 before Fallout 4 came out. Since then, I've always wanted to attempt to get a memorial to him in a Bethesda game, but have never really attempted to do it until now.
Oxhorn has amazing fans. I would like to ask you guys to help me reach Bethesda so that my friend can be memorialized in his favorite series forever.

@@actuallyash2438 actually in nuka world they is an npc named after a fan passed away as a memorial to them
Jose Ocampo yes I know, only 1. That shows how rare it is
Idea for episode specific T-shirt inscription; "May the water you find in the desert, not shine at you in the dark."
The amount of detail in this game is incredible.
16 times the detail !
Fallout 4: Find your son and decide to nuke the other two factions into oblivion
Rewatching these and it's nuts, this was a passion project between a few friends and is now a major gaming IP
If only it were a simulation yet it is a simulation of the insane in a crisis as your character....not to mention most others.
Yeah, this was way back when the creators (just friends) were actually passionate about the game they were making.
Now it’s just a corporate mess.
Difficult to envision how Shady Sands, a village settlement with a few concrete bunker-shaped houses, became the capital and most populated city in the NCR and the entire known world.
Starting from humble beginnings
If you think about it that’s how every great nation starts off.
Keep in mind that this game takes place 120 years before the events of Fallout New Vegas.
Capital of England was St Albans once before it was London.
@@captainhindsight6994 why did they change it ?
Am I the only one who thinks Tandi has a great voice?
Nope, solid VA, and a good turn-on hehe
Anyone think she sounds just like Imoen, the first female companion you get in Baldour’s Gate?
@@pskully57 She's Cree Summer, also voices Fist Citizen Lynnette in Fallout 2, and the cool black girl in Rugrats, plus so, so many more.
DIEGhostfish That’s good to know, thanks for that!
She would've been a cool character if she had actually blinked for once, but I'll take whatever I can get.
Good to see people still watch this series to all Oxhorns playthrough's are like Audiobooks I love it
Oxhorn, you got a solid narrator's voice. Velvety, powerful, yet kind. Exceptionally expressive. Delightful!
As Ted once said, "I think I want to sleep on a bed made of your voice!"
Not allowed to listen in the car wife says his voice is too soothing and will put us to sleep
Live Wire That's because he's a writer of two books, maybe that's why he has a great narrator's voice?
I'm sure he knows😂
AYEEEEE A GHOST!
Idea for T-shirt inscription "Some randomized loot inside".
Not something to wear when chatting someone up
LOL Lapdog XD
Not a shirt to wear in the ghetto either.
It should be on pants not a shirt.
"End of Dungeon Steamer Trunk" would make a great shirt, too.
20:44 "He has 80HP"
My nephew has that.
Im glad im not the only one who heard it

Feeling challenged, I took a quick look into Longman's Pronunciation Dictionary for the word "schism" and sure enough, there is no . The same goes for the Oxford English Dictionary: . And as for the original word, it is "skhisma". It is Old Greek for "cleft".

Brings back memories man. Think I was 13 when Fallout was released and i had never played something that good before. Great narration as always.
Hey Oxhorn, loving the Fallout 1 Lore! One of my favourite games and I’m glad to see you’re finally tackling it! Hopefully your playthrough will inspire others to play this great game!
I love that you explore different avenues based on different character stats. Awesome.
My dear Oxhorn, you are able to get your way with Tandi. You just need Male character with Charisma higher than 8. She's into cute guys, y'know. There's even a little 'extra' in this ... ehrm ... turn of events.

Amazing. These series are a true gem. This is very original style of walkthrough. Surely it required a lot of work. Thanks very much for that.
Now we need a glow in the dark shirt with that blessing.
I’ve seen this series MULTIPLE times. But I love to watch this or even listen as background noise during lunch at work to unwind. Keep up the good work!!
Nobody
Absolutely nobody
Khan: AYEEE A GHOST
The writing and atmosphere here is definitely 16 times the detail
Tandi's face in the trade menu is probably gonna be my favorite part of this game. It'll be hard to beat.
Wow... Ox, you really did a great job at this. I can't even begin to imagine how long it took you to get all this footage plus all the backtracking you had to do to get all possible solutions PLUS telling us which choice is the canon one.
I raise my glass to you, sir!

Oxhorn.. I have to admit for a while there I was getting bored but this series really brought your channel back around for me.
Good ol morning oxhorn, it's like my Saturday cartoons.
YESSS!!!
It's not Saturday but I think you have binoculars
My ONE complaint with Fallout 2 is that it forces one very specific set of outcomes from Fallout 1 as canon.
The Original Khans are wiped out, Tandi survives and is inspired by the encounter to form the NCR and annex most of the nearby city states, the Necropolis is wiped out by mutants, the mutants are wiped out before they can destroy anyone EXCEPT them, and Gizmo fails in his power struggle. That's it.
If the first two games were to be remade(as well as fixing some of the broken quests and mechanics in Fallout 1), I'd love Fallout 2 to potentially become a completely different game if you make different choices in the first game. (Which if they kept the same late 90s art style could be doable)
Like, maybe Tandi dies and her father maintains Shady Shores as an isolated town. Or maybe your power character talks her into running off on an adventure as she was initially inclined. Maybe you and Ian butcher them all and leave the town to rot. Maybe you cut a deal with Ian to put him in charge after killing those two and in exchange you get the loot.
Maybe the Khans are left alone and become a major faction player in the wasteland and Fallout 2 is about them competing with whoever unites elsewhere. Maybe the player joins them and conquer the entire northern wasteland? Maybe you asurp Garl by pretending to be his dead dad or beating him in the ring of combat? Maybe you cut a deal with them to leave your pet town alone and they proceed to target elsewhere?
Maybe the Necropolis...survives, a ghoul utopia, instead of being the ONLY place in the game where the mutant army canonically reaches for some reason? Or maybe you just let them die of thirst same dif as before really.
Maybe without Tandi in the picture Junktowm unifies the city states? But under Killian or Gizmo? Or perhaps if you leave them both in a brutal power struggle The Hub rises to prominence? Or maybe all of them remain free city states?
Maybe the Mutants are stopped slightly later and more of the southern wasteland is wiped out? Maybe they're stopped somewhat last minute and Fallout 2 features you clawing back control of the southern regions from Mutant remnants who stuck around after their leader died? Maybe you joined them and Fallout 2 involves you fighting them as the main enemy as they try to cure their sterility problem before it's too late?
Maybe you and your gaggle of allies (Ian and Gycho and Dogmeat oh my) survive to the end, kill the Overseer, and take over Vault 13 by force? Maybe you lead them outside to form your own city state? Or if you wiped out Sandy Shores earilier you take over that empty city?
THINK of the possibiltiys!
Almost at 1m subs keep up the good work and you’ll get there in no time
Just gotta say... putting in that work that seems like it’d be awesome to do, but also stressful to analyze and edit; I owe a sincere thank you. Always excited to listen to you spin a tale I’m too spaced out sometimes to realize. Hope you genuinely enjoy your work and enjoy doing it. Keep doing you Ox!
As soon as this series started, I got fallout 1 and started playing though it for the first time ever. Good shit! 👍💩👍
Thank you for drawing attention to the beginning and often forgotten lore
The story of Fallout 1 and it's vaults??? Omg I was wondering if you'd make a series for Fallout 1! I've never played Fallout 1 and 2 so I am excited for this!
Bless your heart Oxhorn! I've always wanted coverage of fallout 1 and 2! THIS IS AMAZING
To start an argument;
SKIZZ-em or SIZZ-em, not ever "SHH-izm"
What is the actual word though?
I'm so happy that you're finally doing the classic Fallouts. Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 are the best Fallout games.
Look, Oxhorn! ropes!
we can use these for big pits!
Your ability to narrate and storytell is awesome. Keep up the great work!
Keep in mind women characters often have different dialog. Like with tandi.
Worst thing she can say is no.
Tandi: Go find a brahma!
I've always wanted to play Fallout 1 but never got the chance. Thank you so much for providing even more uber boss Oxhorn content C:
The world's most elaborate and wonderful walkthrough
Oxhorn, the word "schism" comes from the Greek "σχίσμα" /skeesma/, but because in German the letters "sch" are pronounced like the English "sh" people started to think that "schism" is pronounced like "shizm", which is honestly incorrect.
According to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, the word originally never had the "ch", and was pronounced "sizm". The word's spelling was changed to include the "ch", and from that point onward, some pronounced it "skizm". "skizm" has long been regarded as the incorrect way to say it, but has become so common, that it is now acceptable. The word is pronounced three ways today, in order of popularity: "skizm", "sizm", and "shizm". All three are correct. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schism#cite_note-1
Alright, fair enough. I just look at things from a purely etymological standpoint as opposed to a practical and sociolinguistic standpoint like you did. But I only ever meant to blame this pronunciation standard for existing and not blame you for being generally incorrect.

I don't understand why people bother arguing when they don't know what they are talking about. Oxhorn is right. The word entered the Middle English vocabulary from Old French. There is no direct connection in terms of pronunciation to Greek or German. The Old French spelling is "scisme" and the English pronounced it as "siz-em". It was in the late 18th century that people began to propose that the pronunciation should change in order to stay true to the Latin and Greek roots of the word (this along with other words that have a "ch"). And it was only in the 1960's that this alternative pronunciation was officially accepted by linguists in the US. It was considered a colloquialism and an error until then.
Just an idiot comment passing through
The Woolly Eel Wow, thanks, dude, I didn’t know that! I’m honestly just a bit lazy to do that much research. I just knew the Greek word so I immediately set out to write the comment based on just that and my assumption on the origin of the mispronunciation. But although the word didn’t come directly from German it still appears fairly likely that it was due to the influence of that orthographic convention and the introduction of German names with the trigraph “sch” to America. Or is there another explanation for that?
Then again, why isn’t there a similar variability in words like “schizophrenia” even though it comes from the same root?
These Fallout 1 and 2 story videos are so insightful for me. I didn't get the chance to play a Fallout game til part 3 and New Vegas came out for the 360. I appreciate the story recap and your narration of it. Reminds me of listening to audio books of my favorite novels growing up as well. 😁😁😁
Good morning everyone! 🙋🏻 (Wish I had a Fallout character emoji)

my daily dose of ox, hit me up brother!
My first Fallout game was Fallout3. I can't think of a better way to learn about the original Fallout. Thanks Ox!
On the subject of pronunciation, carbine is actually pronounced like "car-bean". Military Arms Channel just recently posted a video about this.
Thanks for making these! I have tried in the past to play through Fallout 1 for the lore, but I couldn't. This is just as good.
Tried to look up the etymology of schism and found that the OG latin is literally spelled with a hard k; "skhizein", with that softer shism pronunciation nowhere to be found. Sorry Ox, but I think you're off on this one. However, I did find an intersting article on the etymology, and correct way of saying, pronunciation/pronounciation. So maybe language is flexible and we should all try not to step on too many toes. Super happy to see you getting into Fallout 1, it was the first video game I bought on my own. I have had so much fun with your content and look forward to what you produce!
When he mispronounces pronunciation, I can't believe anything he's said about the different ways of saying 'schism'.
Actually the Webster dictionary cites pronunciation as "si-, ski-, and shi"
I'll just add a link www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/schism
Because the word from which 'schism' is derived is Latin & Greek, the 'ch' is appropriately pronounced as a 'k' sound. Ox's pronunciation is a hold over from pre-16th century when the spelling was based off the Old French. There are alternate acceptable pronunciations, but there is an entomological reason that and historical support for one of them being correct.
my only question is if its supposed to be pronounced skisim, then why did whoever translated it use spelling that would indicate it was pronounced shisim? ch is almost always pronounced phonetically at the end of a word, or sh if not at the end of a word. i mean its possible, there are plenty of other screwy words like that, but most are foreign words that we just adopted as other Europeans immigrated and became part of our culture.
Really enjoyed the series I’m starting my first fallout one play through and these videos really help me through some of the more confusing parts
I got killed by Ian 5 times...
On horn I love how you go into such deep lore into the videos that some people wouldn’t even realise exist! Thank you so much for putting so much effort into your videos just for us to watch. Keep up the great work!
They're definitely gonna have to rewrite the lore of Vault 15 "for modern audiences". Everyone knows diversity is our strength and a vault full of people with drastically different cultures and ideologies would be a paragon of peace, tranquility, and progress.
XD
Great video once again. I applaud you sir! The amount of info you give regarding the Raider gangs is awesome! I have played Fallout a while back and to see how many different outcomes (and ways to go about certain quests) there are is mindblowing to say the least. Also, the luck skill is actually worth investing in here unlike the later games. Good job!!
Who’s here from before he hit 200k subs?
Squatting Gopnik I honestly can't remember when I subbed.
I'm passing the time at work watching these vids. Love how you explain the lore. I've never played Fallout 1 or 2. Keep up the good work ^.^
They are used interchangeably, they actually say it in game.
Your videos are amazing it always helps me get through a really tough day it’s beautiful storytelling keep it up
I wonder what Oxhorn is going to cover once all the content for Fallout 1-76 have been made...
*Oxhorn: The Full Story Of Fallout Equestria.*
That's the thing about Fallout, him running out of lore to find is a day that's a LOOOOOOOONG way off.
No too depressing and gross. I'll always be haunted by what I read.
The Great And Powerful Trixie STOP
That's what's wrong with you bronies. You always... ALWAYS try to imprint your weird love for mlp onto other fandoms. Even if they never cared in the first place.
I'm so looking forward to the rest of this series. I can't wait for the rest of Fallout 1 and hopefully Fallout 2 in near future. You rock Oxhorn!
Wait..
Without the raiders ncr wouldnt have happened?
Fenno Graas without the devil do you need god?
@@andykaufman7686 that is a good question..
The first religions i think were based on luck or weather so if there is no bad luck or bad weather i think there wouldn't be religion...
As for the modern religions i think it is hard to say where they are for i think they were invented to make people behave: if you don't behave you burn in hell but if you are a good person you will have a nice time after death
Fenno Graas I think there are horrifying things that can happen and very surrealist loving things that can happen based on whatever an infinite creator wishes upon us to balance our energy. God is the devil and they must be the same to balance the life here. I don’t believe in rules I think morally you can save yourself from pain
Fenno Graas the thing I find with religions is that although they may seem primitive and outdated, every myth has a seed of truth to be found. An example is how the Jews and Muslims in their banning of certain meats (in both, the pig) their is a reason to it, in that of they tends to have high fat and low protein. Christianity was a reformation of Judaism, and helps by giving a set of successful rules for life, thereby giving a more successful community. This moral base is (in my opinion) what allowed the West to develop at a much faster pace. “Render under Caesar” would be a example, with the separation of church and state money, and “you shall not bear false witness” is another example, in that one should put the law before religion in a judicial case.
Yes about the meat its actually good I wonder if they did it for the reason you gave but it alowed Jewish people to live longer and healthy (of course other religions thought it was for another reason) but sticking with traditions isn't always a good thing for a civilized society to move forward of course they did live longer but these days thanks to the progress we make we live longer and better which just isn't possible when you stick with tradition and religion
Listening to Ox is sometimes more entertaining than playing the game itself ! Love the series ! 👍🏻👍🏻
"To populate a vault with people who held extremely diverse ideologies and who came from different cultures. Not exactly the recipe for creating a tranquil vault"
Sounds like the lefts goal for the west. Replace the word "vault" with "society" and see how well that describes modern day multiculturalist societies.
Dont you remember when you where in history class and they said "america is the melting pot of diveristy"?
Yup, who would guess it wouldn't turn out to be very tranquil.
hurr durr anything different from me is bad amirite
Alice Loveridge Name one positive of Multiculturalism.
btw "hurr durr" has been cringy since 2015
@@jordiejonny You said "the lefts" unironically, and you wanna talk about other people being cringey? Gtfoh
Wish we could see pig rats and regular rats in the newer fallouts would add variety to the enemies
Oxhorn: "Schism"....?
Me: I KNOW THE PIECES FIT!!!
Hey Ox you missed a few wall lockers in vault 15. They’re small rectangular and look almost like vent ducts. One can be found on the right wall of the entrance hallway past the blown-off vault door.
10:08 Ammo!
Man seeing your hugh level character and I was like. "Woah, I wonder how much time he put into these playthroughs?" I remember Fallout 1 being a really long game.
Thank you for making this series, as great as fallout 1 and 2 are, I just can't get over the over the eye pov. So watching the story this way is entertaining.
I love listening to your videos when Im doing something because I get so invested into what Im hearing it distracts me and before I know it I am done doing whatever boring chore I was trying to power through so thank you!
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart there was a time when I couldn't fall asleep I would literally lay in bed for hours before I can pass out now I put on one of your videos I pass right out thank you for the bedtime Stories
That Death Hand part was pretty cool. If only Fallout games were still like this.
I never thought you would cover the old fallouts. Im so glad you did as i lack any ways to play them
I didn't know there are so many ways to rescue Tandi. The first one is amazing. Killing Khans in the early phase of the game isn't so tough. I used to do it many times even without reaching Vault 15. You have to start with the tents and kill as many of raiders as possible before the rest come.
This is my third time listening to you do the whole story of fallout I love it so much I listen to it while i work alot and i cant wait for the story of fallout 4 to be complete i wish i could donate and help out and i think about it every time the videos end one day I'll have enough to do so
1:13
"We also find rodents, dozens of them littering the small space, after killing them all - for the experience."
Look, I understand you want to make memories during your adventures, but that's just straight-up psychotic, Oxhorn...
I literally listen to you all day Ox. Lmao narrate my life please?
Here 5 years later expanding my fallout lore, great series!!
Great to see the beginnings of a masterpiece. Thank you. Also top marks for pronunciation! Fun and educational!
