What I meany by talking about the steam trucks being the only working vehicles in the Fallout universe is that all other cars, trucks, and motorized vehicles in the world don't work anymore. Yes, the chosen one can repair a Highwayman in Fallout 2, but that's the exception that proves the rule. Since repairing the Highwayman is an optional side quest, we don't know if it being repaired is a canonical part of the world.
No offense oxhorn but one and two of The Fallout series are more canonical than 4 seeing as how many retcons are in Fallout 4 in fact I've heard from quite a few Fallout fans that once they made the way to 3 and New Vegas the canonical story ended
Hmm. Vertibirds, Brotherhood blimps, several mobile sea vehicles make me think that by the time of NV motorised vehicles are starting to pop up with NCR.
"Harry, the Stupidest Mutant Ever" Ox, you don't know the half of it! He probably was an inspiration for the East Coast mutants. The best part about him is his dialogue with the Vault Dweller with low intelligence. It's basically this: "- Uh? - Uh??? - Huh?! (the Vault Dweller) - Mom?" And then he lets you go to the water pump free of charge. Brilliant
Other than the Fallout Bible mentioning Ian's death at Necropolis, In Vault Dweller's memoirs, he states that Ian did indeed die at Necropolis. Whether the Vault Dweller's memoirs are still considered canon or not, it's still another source backing up the claim that Ian died there.
phillip wagner Chris Avalon stated that Bethesda decides the canon now. So if Bethesda uses what is in the Fallout bible, it's canon. If they go against it, it's not.
Necropolis is suppose to be old world Bakersfield, but Bakersfield is northwest of LA and Necropolis is far on the other side to the North East. However, EXACTLY where necropolis is located is also a town called Baker. I think the devs got the two confused lol
That's one of my best examples of how we haven't really advanced much... One builds a massive and complicated structure (nuclear plant) but instead of harnessing the power from the fission directly (somehow), we use it just to boil water faster (facepalm). And generate a shit ton of nuclear waste... "Amazing"
@@mbogdanov2 Compared to conventional oil or natural gas plants, nuclear plants produce significantly less harmful waste. 97% of the waste is either clean (carbon ash, steam) or recyclable (slightly irradiated steel components). And you want to "harness" the fission somehow? Just what do you think we're doing? That energy is coming off as heat energy. Any higher rates of fission and you get into creating an atomic bomb from the heat and the shockwave its sudden release would cause.
@@mbogdanov2 That's the dumbest thing i've read today. The amount of control and precision needed to make that chain reaction, with graphite controlling ion transfers so they don't reach criticality... Humans haven't advanced much? One Soviet nuclear power plant today could power the entire world in the mid 19th century.
Thagomizer Cummings also did a tons of voices in Fallout 4, notably older settlers. The guy is a prolific voice actor, his work is everywhere. Edit: I’ll always remember him as Darkwing Duck, however.
Jim Cummings also does the voice of Pete from Disney and it’s identical to Set’s so for 5 years I’ve been perplexed at why you not only alphabetically skipped the correct parallel, but knew enough about his career that you picked Tigger?
That steam truck is far from the only working Vehicle in Fallout Lore. In Fallout 2 you can help rebuild a Highwayman, the Fallout bible mentions that their is 1 vehicle per 1000 people, the NCR has Trunks that they work on in Camp McCaren, and the NCR uses Trains.
I love that in canon, one of your faithful companions (Ian) dies in the "middle" of the game. This gives meaning to the story. The travels and actions of your character affect not only the cities, settlements and some people but also your close friends. Although you found a water chip - you lost a companion. And, maybe, it's your fault. Now, you have a personal motivation to stop the Supermutants and the Master.
Agreed. Part of the reason I loved the mortal companions and the end sludes from Fallout: New Vegas. In Fallout 4 I just use FCOM mod to get a party, name them, and then see how their stories go in my companionship. Lost many a good caravan guard to the gulpers in Far Harbor.
Does someone actually say that in the game? And besides, he would've needed food too. The downfall of any zombie apocalypse is the zombies starving to death. Can't move without energy. Can't get energy out of thin air.
@Mamoru Shiikuro or t60 power armor which is meant to be the most advanced prewar power armor yet it was somehow not mentioned in the other fallout games and the x01 suit in Nuka World
On one of my first playthroughs, I drunk a nuka-cola out of curiosity and immediately became addicted. Like actually addicted to nuka-cola. Nuka is highly addictive in Fallout 1 and 2. Needless to say, I never touched it again. It taught me a lesson about FO1; don't mess with things you don't understand, which makes sense in a violent wasteland where you could die at any moment.
Yeah, if I remember correctly, mentats withdrawal could reduce your charisma and intelligence to 3. Which, would make doing quests practically impossible because you would be too dumb to talk. Addiction could ruin you, especially if you are new to the game and don't know. Be educated, kids. Say no to drugs.
Literally the first time drinking Nuka Cola AND taking Radaway, I got addicted. With the 10% chance that you could get addicted to those things, I did, and yet, I can’t hit a 60%+ chance on a hit to the eyes. Ridiculous.

I remember coming here, meeting the ghouls, and then leaving for awhile. When I came back near the end of the game I found them all dead and had no idea it was a trigger. That's really neat.
This series is so cool... I haven't played Fallout since I was 8 and I forgot a lot of the plot. Plus my disk was damaged from being a library loner. The game is too old to replay on modern hardware, but the story is still really awesome to revisit.
Wow. Nuclear war actually made Bakersfield... exactly the same. Raspy voiced corpses shambling around, water crisis, less than stellar housing, and rampant discrimination. Don't know if that's good or not.
When asked about the children of the Cathedral, Harry responds: "Nice little guys. They patched me up when i was hurt" Also, you missed the locker in the second floor behind the hostile ghouls. It contains two Rad-X
And when I don't feel very good and I'm struggling to sleep listening to some of these videos again and it's just great fun&nostalgia, thank you for all the hard work you get
Another nice one. I've found only one minor thing missing. There is secret traped door in the wall behind Set's back. Its presence allows a vault dweler got behind Set unnoticed. However i did not find nothing benefical in this approach. Maybe is some relict of unimplemented quest how to kill Sett secretly.
I realize now I missed many things in my playthrough whilst in Necropolis. I killed all the supermutants but didn't return to Set for one. I believe I did fix the waterpump (it's been a lóóng time since I played Fallout so my memory is somewhat clouded) to save the ghouls. Man, this is mindblowing how much effort was put into this game! Definitely a cult classic. You are now my go to source for all things Fallout related! Can't believe I just stumbled across your channel. Thanks so much!
Don't ferals still speak a word here and there anyway? Even in the bethesda games I'm sure I've heard them scream 'die' as they charge on occasion, and seen it subtitled too. I might be wrong though, it's been a while since I played fallout 3.
@@korstmahler Yeah sometimes most ghouls turn feral so their cognitive functions and speaking is still active but their brains are dead. They might use some muscle memory and repeatable sayings(like a raider saying die all the time)when they turned feral to make it work so its possible.
Oxhorn, whenever I have a bad day I watch your videos. Your videos make me forget about reality and allows me to really get into Fallout. Thank you for helping me cope with my messed up life Oxhorn
Thanks for posting these old school Fallout episodes. This was the very first computer game that I really got into (this and the original Renegade). It was also then the first computer game that I introduced my Nephew to when he was 14, and I build his first computer for him. I set up our desks next to each other and I started playing Fallout 2 while he played Fallout 1 on his. We often talked about what we were doing and shared the funniest things we came across as we played. We had several inside jokes based on these games and it was some great bonding time...before he turned into a major teenage pain n the ass that is. lol Anyway, I am now 48 and he is in his early 30's, so it is pretty cool to watch these now and to be able to stir up some of these great memories.
Have you considered doing 100% run of Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, or Fallout 4? With your extensive knowledge of the games and in depth personality, I feel like you could offer some great insight into people trying to accomplish these feats. I know I'd at the least be entertained by it.
@@Toonguyify the game itself is decent but it’s a hallowed out version of fallout. These game cores are the ability to play the games how you want with many choices and more importantly choices which lock you out of other options (actual consequences for your actions) fo4 the speech is pointless really.
At 2:51, you say there are no other land vehicles operational in fallout lore, but in Fallout 2, a functioning Chryslus Highwayman is almost central to the plot. There are also a number of land vehicles in Fallout Tactics (though that is only dubiously canon), and in New Vegas, though not confirmed, its heavily implied that the NCR operates a fleet of pre-war army transport trucks (hence why you find them parked throughout McCarran and the Long 15). There's also the implication that raiders know about working motorcycles in Fallout 4 from that Police Academy reference, but that is very debatable.
You are seriously my favorite youtuber Ox. I love the fallout universe with all my heart and your channel tickels the fancy just right. Even playing 1&2 by myself is so empty without your commentary. Youre my hero!
Loving this series. There's a lot of good old games I'll probably never get around to playing through, but I can surely watch you go through it in a summarized fashion like this.
I can’t understand how any long time fan of something can justify a change in pre-established canon by someone other than the original creators and just accept it merely bc they paid for it. I don’t think it’s right, and that it is a clear sign of disrespect when what has already been written and established in a long running series is suddenly declared “non-canon” when/if someone purchases ownership of that series. The new owners did not create the story, and (at least in regards to a fictional universe that is meant to be expanded on continuously) are simply expected by the established fans to only continue that story, not disregard anything previously established to replace it with something else entirely. The creator(s) had an much more complete picture of the world they created and know it better than anyone else. What upsets me most is when the new owners claim to be “fans” and then have no issues with discarding a piece of what they supposedly love. Imagine someone claimed they loved the Mona Lisa and purchased it in order to add to it; people would assume they would make Lisa a part of a much larger overall piece, more background, other people next to Lisa, etc... but then they decide her smile needs to be showing teeth... is this person really a fan? If they turned it into say, part of a family portrait, yet kept every part of the original, it’d be much easier for everyone to be on board (especially if the original was meant for this purpose). This is just an example, but I hope it makes sense. The Fallout Bible should be the foundation for Bethesda to build on, not rewrite. At least this is my personal view in regards to Bethesda and Fallout as well as Disney and Star Wars. Both very current examples of new owners overstepping unspoken boundaries.
Yeah I agree especially with the whole disney star wars thing. Because what is now legends has some really cool stuff in it. And they could be using that but they are not. Well technically the force awakens has kylo ren which could be a reference to one of Han and leas kids I think it was jacen solo. Who turned to the dark side. And became darth caedus. I think that was his sith name.
As a fan of fallout since it’s first release, I’d like to say just how boring it is listening to people argue about what is and isn’t canon. And I can assure you, the majority do not care.
Love your channel!! I finally got my hands on the Beginning series of fallout 1 & 2. I’m So happy to trail behind your Awesome guide With your hilarious Charisma & Explore this irradiated Apocalyptic Wasteland fulfilled !!
I think a lot of people don't realize that nuclear power is pretty much steam power. They might think energy is somehow siphoned and used as electricity or something XP
The room in the Northwest corner of Level 2, Vault 12, has a locker with 2 rad-x in it.... Not an empty room with nothing. The locker almost looks like a little piece of circuitry on the wall behind the 3 ghouls, easy to miss.
I think that half of the ghouls you see in Necropolis are in fact Feral. Which is why they have the "Arrrrr" line of dialogue and some of them attack on sight. We know that Ferals dont attack other Ghouls. Probably Interplay didnt know exactly how they wanted to handle the lore for them other than that their would be some wild and mindless ghouls and some not. Which would explain why the glowing ones spoke. I dont think the ferals are attacking because youre looting. I think theyre attacking because youre close enough at that point.
To consider certain things in Fallout facts, you should remember that not all things in Fallout are set in stone. Ghouls are not monolithic. Being able to repair vehicles shouldn't be considered lore breaking, and there are no set in stone rules when it comes to mutations. Ghouls in Fallout 1 can't live without water. One ghoul in Fallout 4 being able to doesn't mean anything, but that ghoul can live without water. And it's not that serious. For real.
Spacebar ends turn, Enter ends combat. Right-clicking your mouse rotates through "inspect" and "targeting mode" in combat. Also, while in inventory, you can right-click to get an arrow cursor, hold left-click down on various items and you can inspect or use them. So you can use multiple stimpacks while in inventory and reload weapons. Thats why Quick Pockets perk is so awesome. Hope that helps
Aren't ghouls alive if you don't find the super muttie and log, or before a certain time. And again your car in 2 (also new reno has car theves - mechanics so should be some. But then jet used to be invented by myron, sooo...)
yes, as he said, if you dont don't arrive till 111 days after leaving the vault or if you access the square but leave it for 0 days, mutant will murder all
Thank you so much for doing this, so few people have gotten the chance to play these games, but the stories are amazing, I cant wait to see your videos on fallout 2 if you choose to make them as well, I love the content about the older fallout games, keep up the good work!
Ox, you're missing out on items. In vault 12 floor 2, in the room where the ghouls attack, you can see an etched rectangle on the wall behind them, a sort or locker I think. That can be opened and it contains items. Those are easily missed and are in almost every vault. They are usually by the vault entrance as well as scattered around the vault.
YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE TRAIN IN BIG MT. WHERE ULYSSES CRASHES THE TRAIN DURING THE ESCAPE. AND THE TRAIN/TROLLY THING IN CAMP MCARREN TO GET INTO NEW VEGAS. ALSO THE WORKING TRAIN FROM NUKA WORLD.
Remakes in this style would totally sell well. Wasteland 2,xcom series, and pillars of eternity easily show they WOULD sell. Specially to old school fallout fans. Me personally tho wouldnlove to see fallout 1,2,and tactics released on mobile devices.
I just played fallout 1 and go to necropolis and fixed the water pump but I didn’t clear out the super mutants and all of my ghoul buddies were wiped 😢
+Dekuton Willowtear It's not really inconvenient, in fact I'd say it'd make more sense what I'm saying was that Interplay had the idea but Bethesda changed it making it a little more logical in lore terms and with games as successful as Bethesda's fallouts I think saying they're lazy is almost laughable
@@nickwash3r3 then laugh. Doesnt bother me one way or another. But not bothering to check if what youre doing conflicts with established canon...including your own IS lazy. And creates confusion for your fanbase. Similar to akira toryoma and themultitude of dragonball cannon that he legit forgets when he writes new stuff. Sure at the time its convenient cause they dont have to change things. But yeah...lazy writing is lazy no matter how successful it is.
+Dekuton Willowtear Lazy writing is lazy, what a great point Your opinion don't make facts, and it's not like you could tell what "lazy writing" is anyways what are you gonna say Fortnite has the best writing? I did get a chuckle from those comments not gonna lie
@@nickwash3r3 fortnite has no real writing. Single player is just...odd and convoluted. The multiplayer storyline if you can call it that (which i wouldnt) is...intwresting in a wtf kind of manner. As for bethesda. Its lazy to not bother to prevent conflicts of canon. At this point i wish they had just rebooted the entire franchise instead of saying its a continuation when they dont really care about any canon they didnt have a hand in and even THAT is a lil iffy considering they have no problem contradictint themselves solely for "rule of cool" reasons. Glad you got a chuckle. If you cant laugh at random crap on the internet what can you laugh about
Thank you Oxhorn! Your videos always keep me enlightened and wanting more from the Fallout universe. Endless stories that always keep the mind guessing
The Glowing Ones and most of the ghouls in this game aren't feral, because it has only been decades after the war and they still have much of their brains intact. In later games they are all hostile and feral because two centuries have passed, by which time they are nearly zombified.
Man, this brings me back. I ended up just killing all the ghouls and taking the water chip on my first playthrough as a kid. Even back then though, I didn't get why I should care about Vault 13. To me it seemed like they were doomed, like all vaults, the signs were there. Every vault you visit has failed. The people of the surface were the future. I've always seen it that way. Of course these days, I bend over backwards to try to save the ghouls and kill the master before the invasion! haha
You forgot to mention the Highwayman you can fix and use in Fallout 2 as an example of working vehicles. Also technically the .223 Pistol is a rifle since its based on Deckard's pistol in Blade Runner and for that prop in the movie they just sawed off a Mannlicher bolt action rifle to pistol size.
2:50 actually in fallout 2 there was the Highwayman which was a usable car which could be bought from Smitty if the chosen one finds a replacement part to fix it

Before? This is the first Fallout game...what do you mean by before?
@@dekutonI meant the word itself, it's a popular word as of recently to describe people who aren't degenerates like me
Dates from the 60's apparently. Probably as "Druggie wierdo!" "Dumb normie!"

interesting pic Luna.
Nice way to start off the day, eating some eggs 'n bacon watching some Oxhorn.
Enjoy it, my man.
Well, its 4pm in germany lol. Have a good day!
It's 10:40pm in the Philippines, so it's dinner with Oxhorn here.
Is Set voiced by Jim Cummings? Yes!
Wow. Nuclear war actually made Bakersfield... exactly the same. Raspy voiced corpses shambling around, water crisis, less than stellar housing, and rampant discrimination. Don't know if that's good or not.
You could say the missiles missed Bakersfield entirely...
When asked about the children of the Cathedral, Harry responds: "Nice little guys. They patched me up when i was hurt"
Also, you missed the locker in the second floor behind the hostile ghouls. It contains two Rad-X
fallout 01 used the word normie before it was popular 17:02
And when I don't feel very good and I'm struggling to sleep listening to some of these videos again and it's just great fun&nostalgia, thank you for all the hard work you get
Another nice one. I've found only one minor thing missing. There is secret traped door in the wall behind Set's back. Its presence allows a vault dweler got behind Set unnoticed. However i did not find nothing benefical in this approach. Maybe is some relict of unimplemented quest how to kill Sett secretly.
I have really been enjoying this series, Ox! It’s a great background to grading papers and doing dishes. Thanks for making this!
I realize now I missed many things in my playthrough whilst in Necropolis. I killed all the supermutants but didn't return to Set for one. I believe I did fix the waterpump (it's been a lóóng time since I played Fallout so my memory is somewhat clouded) to save the ghouls. Man, this is mindblowing how much effort was put into this game! Definitely a cult classic. You are now my go to source for all things Fallout related! Can't believe I just stumbled across your channel. Thanks so much!
"Normie" holy shit, Set is the OG memelord!
"Every Ghoul we meet can speak."
Not sure "Arrrr" is speaking. They seemed feral to me.
Don't ferals still speak a word here and there anyway? Even in the bethesda games I'm sure I've heard them scream 'die' as they charge on occasion, and seen it subtitled too.
I might be wrong though, it's been a while since I played fallout 3.
Perhaps he was a pirate ghoul.
@@korstmahler Yeah sometimes most ghouls turn feral so their cognitive functions and speaking is still active but their brains are dead.
They might use some muscle memory and repeatable sayings(like a raider saying die all the time)when they turned feral to make it work so its possible.
Oxhorn, whenever I have a bad day I watch your videos. Your videos make me forget about reality and allows me to really get into Fallout. Thank you for helping me cope with my messed up life Oxhorn
2:50 the highwayman in Fallout 2 is a moving vehicle
Thanks for posting these old school Fallout episodes. This was the very first computer game that I really got into (this and the original Renegade). It was also then the first computer game that I introduced my Nephew to when he was 14, and I build his first computer for him. I set up our desks next to each other and I started playing Fallout 2 while he played Fallout 1 on his. We often talked about what we were doing and shared the funniest things we came across as we played. We had several inside jokes based on these games and it was some great bonding time...before he turned into a major teenage pain n the ass that is. lol Anyway, I am now 48 and he is in his early 30's, so it is pretty cool to watch these now and to be able to stir up some of these great memories.
Have you considered doing 100% run of Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, or Fallout 4? With your extensive knowledge of the games and in depth personality, I feel like you could offer some great insight into people trying to accomplish these feats. I know I'd at the least be entertained by it.
@Cameron Hudson fallout 4 is a great game cant change my mind.
@@Toonguyify the game itself is decent but it’s a hallowed out version of fallout. These game cores are the ability to play the games how you want with many choices and more importantly choices which lock you out of other options (actual consequences for your actions) fo4 the speech is pointless really.
I just love how you tell these stories, I every time have a good and chill moment to listen to you!
At 2:51, you say there are no other land vehicles operational in fallout lore, but in Fallout 2, a functioning Chryslus Highwayman is almost central to the plot. There are also a number of land vehicles in Fallout Tactics (though that is only dubiously canon), and in New Vegas, though not confirmed, its heavily implied that the NCR operates a fleet of pre-war army transport trucks (hence why you find them parked throughout McCarran and the Long 15). There's also the implication that raiders know about working motorcycles in Fallout 4 from that Police Academy reference, but that is very debatable.
Plus, the Powder Ganger are used to rebuild the railroad for the trains ^_-
"only dubiously canon" No, Black Isle completely struck FO Tactics from canon as far as my understanding of it goes.
You are seriously my favorite youtuber Ox. I love the fallout universe with all my heart and your channel tickels the fancy just right. Even playing 1&2 by myself is so empty without your commentary. Youre my hero!
Damn Set is a straight beast, calling people normie before it was a trend
Loving this series. There's a lot of good old games I'll probably never get around to playing through, but I can surely watch you go through it in a summarized fashion like this.
Your videos make my sick days better
"There better be a killer reason to be standin' in my shadow." is such a cold line.
Kinda sad Set didn't survive the mutant attack. Would've love to see him in a future fallout game
That voice for Set was undeniable!! Jim Cummings is an absolute legend. I was unaware at how big the celebrity voice list was
I can’t understand how any long time fan of something can justify a change in pre-established canon by someone other than the original creators and just accept it merely bc they paid for it. I don’t think it’s right, and that it is a clear sign of disrespect when what has already been written and established in a long running series is suddenly declared “non-canon” when/if someone purchases ownership of that series. The new owners did not create the story, and (at least in regards to a fictional universe that is meant to be expanded on continuously) are simply expected by the established fans to only continue that story, not disregard anything previously established to replace it with something else entirely. The creator(s) had an much more complete picture of the world they created and know it better than anyone else. What upsets me most is when the new owners claim to be “fans” and then have no issues with discarding a piece of what they supposedly love. Imagine someone claimed they loved the Mona Lisa and purchased it in order to add to it; people would assume they would make Lisa a part of a much larger overall piece, more background, other people next to Lisa, etc... but then they decide her smile needs to be showing teeth... is this person really a fan? If they turned it into say, part of a family portrait, yet kept every part of the original, it’d be much easier for everyone to be on board (especially if the original was meant for this purpose). This is just an example, but I hope it makes sense. The Fallout Bible should be the foundation for Bethesda to build on, not rewrite. At least this is my personal view in regards to Bethesda and Fallout as well as Disney and Star Wars. Both very current examples of new owners overstepping unspoken boundaries.
Yeah I agree especially with the whole disney star wars thing. Because what is now legends has some really cool stuff in it. And they could be using that but they are not. Well technically the force awakens has kylo ren which could be a reference to one of Han and leas kids I think it was jacen solo. Who turned to the dark side. And became darth caedus. I think that was his sith name.
As a fan of fallout since it’s first release, I’d like to say just how boring it is listening to people argue about what is and isn’t canon. And I can assure you, the majority do not care.
@Crynaotlod we dont care. Lore even irl always changes.
Keep in mind that Fallout 2 was the game that retconned ghouls not needing water, not Fallout 3/4 as others seem to claim.
Love your channel!!
I finally got my hands on the Beginning series of fallout 1 & 2.
I’m So happy to trail behind your Awesome guide With your hilarious Charisma & Explore this irradiated Apocalyptic Wasteland fulfilled !!
Nice. Jealous I wish I could play while watching lol 😂
But, nuclear reactors work BY boiling water. Fission releases heat which boils the water and then the steam spins turbines.
I think a lot of people don't realize that nuclear power is pretty much steam power. They might think energy is somehow siphoned and used as electricity or something XP
32:28 Well there are non-feral glowing ones, Jason Bright for example.
The room in the Northwest corner of Level 2, Vault 12, has a locker with 2 rad-x in it.... Not an empty room with nothing. The locker almost looks like a little piece of circuitry on the wall behind the 3 ghouls, easy to miss.
You seriously deserve more subs. I listen to these lore videos every nights before i go to sleep or while I'm studying
Ox, dont forget about the tram and rocket crawler from Broken steel for vehicles, they both work to an extent!
Also the Highwayman from fallout 2
The hunched over beings are probably Atlas from Greek mythology. Atlas was known for holding the world on his back.
Artillery only or riot.
My eyes... my eyes....
Seems like the TH-cam finally finished transcoding this video to the higher resolutions!
Welcome to the club dude
My phone is set to auto so the quality depends on my signal strength. If your on a phone that may be it.
Whats wrong with 360p?
I think that half of the ghouls you see in Necropolis are in fact Feral. Which is why they have the "Arrrrr" line of dialogue and some of them attack on sight. We know that Ferals dont attack other Ghouls. Probably Interplay didnt know exactly how they wanted to handle the lore for them other than that their would be some wild and mindless ghouls and some not. Which would explain why the glowing ones spoke. I dont think the ferals are attacking because youre looting. I think theyre attacking because youre close enough at that point.
The Lou is voiced by the late and great haunting Tony Jay.
To consider certain things in Fallout facts, you should remember that not all things in Fallout are set in stone. Ghouls are not monolithic. Being able to repair vehicles shouldn't be considered lore breaking, and there are no set in stone rules when it comes to mutations. Ghouls in Fallout 1 can't live without water. One ghoul in Fallout 4 being able to doesn't mean anything, but that ghoul can live without water. And it's not that serious. For real.
I love the creepy vibe of fallout 1
Spacebar ends turn, Enter ends combat. Right-clicking your mouse rotates through "inspect" and "targeting mode" in combat. Also, while in inventory, you can right-click to get an arrow cursor, hold left-click down on various items and you can inspect or use them. So you can use multiple stimpacks while in inventory and reload weapons. Thats why Quick Pockets perk is so awesome. Hope that helps
Aren't ghouls alive if you don't find the super muttie and log, or before a certain time. And again your car in 2 (also new reno has car theves - mechanics so should be some. But then jet used to be invented by myron, sooo...)
yes, as he said, if you dont don't arrive till 111 days after leaving the vault or if you access the square but leave it for 0 days, mutant will murder all
Thank you so much for doing this, so few people have gotten the chance to play these games, but the stories are amazing, I cant wait to see your videos on fallout 2 if you choose to make them as well, I love the content about the older fallout games, keep up the good work!
Fallout 2 has a working car, if you repair it, so the steam truck is not the only land vehicle in fallout-verse.
And its powered by small energy cells
Wasn't it microfusion cells? It's been a few years since I played.
It might not be canon since it was a side quest
Ox, you're missing out on items. In vault 12 floor 2, in the room where the ghouls attack, you can see an etched rectangle on the wall behind them, a sort or locker I think. That can be opened and it contains items. Those are easily missed and are in almost every vault. They are usually by the vault entrance as well as scattered around the vault.
Another good way to start my day. I say thanks Oxhorn and have a lovely day
My favorite joke on this channel is him telling us that an enemy is attacking and then him immediately killing it
Yay! Loving this play through. Keep it up Oxhorn!
Really enjoying this series bringing back good old memory of when I first played fallout.
G'Day from Australia.
Glad I'm not the only Australian here.
YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE TRAIN IN BIG MT. WHERE ULYSSES CRASHES THE TRAIN DURING THE ESCAPE. AND THE TRAIN/TROLLY THING IN CAMP MCARREN TO GET INTO NEW VEGAS. ALSO THE WORKING TRAIN FROM NUKA WORLD.
They need to remake these games 👀
Max N. There actually doing a 3D version of fallout
The remakes wouldn't sell good. Most people don't wanna play a old birds eye view game. They probably don't remake the old GTA for the same reasons.
It would take awhile to remake it in a 3D way but I think it would sell, but I rather have a new Vegas remake I think everyone would
Remakes in this style would totally sell well. Wasteland 2,xcom series, and pillars of eternity easily show they WOULD sell. Specially to old school fallout fans. Me personally tho wouldnlove to see fallout 1,2,and tactics released on mobile devices.
No, they should not. They only need to preserved and updated to run on new software.
A little late but goddamn I'm loving this series. No need to play Fallout 1 now, lol. Way to organize these in a coherent manner.
Right I do it for all his fallout content
I just played fallout 1 and go to necropolis and fixed the water pump but I didn’t clear out the super mutants and all of my ghoul buddies were wiped 😢
That just means a new playthrough maybe with a different build :D
You are the best fallout TH-camr ever! You're reviewing fallout 1 stuff! That's dedication man.
That tummy song was hilarious!
Can't tell if Set is Cajun or from the 1970s Hood. Either way, his name sounds Egyptian. So neat!
Very weird, I thought ghouls didn't need water to survive but I guess that was before Bethesda arranged that
Yep. Betheada does that. Changes inconvenient canon to make quests and plot work easier. Which just feels lazy to me.
+Dekuton Willowtear
It's not really inconvenient, in fact I'd say it'd make more sense what I'm saying was that Interplay had the idea but Bethesda changed it making it a little more logical in lore terms and with games as successful as Bethesda's fallouts I think saying they're lazy is almost laughable
@@nickwash3r3 then laugh. Doesnt bother me one way or another. But not bothering to check if what youre doing conflicts with established canon...including your own IS lazy. And creates confusion for your fanbase. Similar to akira toryoma and themultitude of dragonball cannon that he legit forgets when he writes new stuff. Sure at the time its convenient cause they dont have to change things. But yeah...lazy writing is lazy no matter how successful it is.
+Dekuton Willowtear
Lazy writing is lazy, what a great point
Your opinion don't make facts, and it's not like you could tell what "lazy writing" is anyways what are you gonna say Fortnite has the best writing?
I did get a chuckle from those comments not gonna lie
@@nickwash3r3 fortnite has no real writing. Single player is just...odd and convoluted. The multiplayer storyline if you can call it that (which i wouldnt) is...intwresting in a wtf kind of manner. As for bethesda. Its lazy to not bother to prevent conflicts of canon. At this point i wish they had just rebooted the entire franchise instead of saying its a continuation when they dont really care about any canon they didnt have a hand in and even THAT is a lil iffy considering they have no problem contradictint themselves solely for "rule of cool" reasons.
Glad you got a chuckle. If you cant laugh at random crap on the internet what can you laugh about
Don’t know why but everytime i hear Oxhorn laugh on these play-through’s it makes me feel like everything in the world is gonna be ok
Jolly persona
if i had never played fallout 1 i would say necropolis sounds like a gouhl citty and they don't need clean water
You mean Irradiated they are Still affected by poisonous compounds or bacteria in water
Ever since oxhorn started playing the old fallouts his content got better IMO the older games have better stories
10:30 missed opportunity of saying "But that lie doesn't fly with this guy"
Never been scared of anything in fallout until now set makes my skin crawl
He looks like he’s about to fall apart into gory pieces.
"So I guess they're pirate ghouls."
Thank you Oxhorn! Your videos always keep me enlightened and wanting more from the Fallout universe. Endless stories that always keep the mind guessing
Great video but i thought that ghouls didn't need to drink water
Ghouls need food and water it was already established long before fallout 4 the Billy tbe kid quest is incredibly lore breaking
I think the Billy quest is meant as a reference to Indiana Jones
The Glowing Ones and most of the ghouls in this game aren't feral, because it has only been decades after the war and they still have much of their brains intact. In later games they are all hostile and feral because two centuries have passed, by which time they are nearly zombified.
I’m finally early to a video
Finally
Feels good man
Such nostalgia with the classic 90s cartoon voices lol
Pirate Ghouls the scourge of the glowing sea
2:52 “This Steam truck is the only known working vehicle in Fallout lore” oh Oxhorn, you’re gonna love Fallout 2
Ox there are still working vehicles like great war apcs and some tanks anv military trucks u judt cant drive em i fallout 3 vegas and 4
Man, this brings me back. I ended up just killing all the ghouls and taking the water chip on my first playthrough as a kid. Even back then though, I didn't get why I should care about Vault 13. To me it seemed like they were doomed, like all vaults, the signs were there. Every vault you visit has failed. The people of the surface were the future. I've always seen it that way. Of course these days, I bend over backwards to try to save the ghouls and kill the master before the invasion! haha
You forgot to mention the Highwayman you can fix and use in Fallout 2 as an example of working vehicles. Also technically the .223 Pistol is a rifle since its based on Deckard's pistol in Blade Runner and for that prop in the movie they just sawed off a Mannlicher bolt action rifle to pistol size.
23:05 did he just said "Largher one"? 😂 love you ox! ❤
What is your favorite companion from Fallout 4?
MacCready or Dogmeat, both are absolutely badass.
Pres...hahahahahahaha cant even type that without laughing
*Death*
Companions suck with the perks I have
My gun
2:50 actually in fallout 2 there was the Highwayman which was a usable car which could be bought from Smitty if the chosen one finds a replacement part to fix it
