What’s even sadder is that codsworth accidentally confirms that child feral gouls exists by saying only Mrs Rosa’s boy running around in his Halloween costume
Ferals may be wild animals essentially, but even wild animals fully know and understand each other. They may fight over things like food, but they will protect each other to the death if one is threatened. Their ability to properly reason and form memories may be gone, but their instincts are still alive and well. Even if they can’t form the thought “I remember Mrs. Donohughe because we lived next to each other,” on some level they will simply know to not attack her.
@@theonlineanimal6009 and maybe become a (non-feral) ghoul yourself, would be interesting (including the benefits surviving the dangers of the wasteland but also the disadvantages of anti-ghoul sentiment).
The kid is a ghoul too, most likely feral. Codsworth complains that he's out in his costume too early for Halloween. That's the part that hurts the most. In fact he must be feral because he'd be an enemy and we can't take out kids in this game. Thus why we never get to see him... Man...
It's the same for Billy, can't kill him but sell him off. But I did it right by sending him back to his parents ❤. I couldn't be an evil sadistic person in fallout

YESSS trust me you are not alone in seeing that😔 all I was thinking after seeing the bomb drop was all the soldiers left behind to guard the vault and make sure no one enters. This would really happen in real life if we ever had a war, some will go in but most will stay up until the very end.
Im pretty sure those guys in the T-60’s survived since you won’t find their armour or bodies anywhere and sometimes you can stumble upon military t-60 wrecks which makes it more sad since they probably watched everyone die in the initial shockwave or get severely damaged
@@CASA-dy4vs the PA you find helping Preston Garvey initially belonged to a soldier who was out on patrol and managed to survive. I believe his vertibird went down and he was stranded on the roof since his core died which forced him to travel on foot. Realistically you couldn’t directly survive a shock wave like that but if you were hiding behind cover of a cave or large rock then you could definitely survive especially since PA has air filters and enough armor. There’s also the much likelier possibility that the PA was simply salvaged by raiders, scavengers, enclave, BoS, etc.
@@Edmodo_ if the PA was scavenged we should’ve came across a certainly rustier t60 model in any of the factions known for using them (unfortunately they don’t go too into depth about the oldest models in any faction)
The kid actually becomes a ghoul too. Codsworth mentions he's running around in a Halloween costume. We never come across him, but that's probably down to the whole 'can't kill children' thing
The shock of this encounter will lose its weight once you make Hangman's Alley your central base in survival mode, and you end up killing the Donoghues over a dozen times.
First encounter: had to flee Second: noticed Mr. And Mrs. Parker Third: killed them all then felt bad because I felt I killed an alternate pair of Spiderman's parents

@@samthomas9651 your character sees the names of lots of people before actually meeting them, though, so I dunno that that sort of meta power quite extends that far.
Poor people, seeing them crying and pleading outside the vault, realising they are bound to a horrible and ghoulish fate (literally). They all seemed like nice people and couples in the neighbourhood. It's heart breaking to see them like that, rotting away, their minds lost and fried. 😢
I have one... I came across a girls corpse just southeast of Vault 111 in a shack. There was a suitcase with a teddy bear and a holotape of her last words. She was a runaway and was meeting her boyfriend but wanted to go home when it got dark cold and he didn't show up (I could be remembering that wrong but it was still sad). I had to remind myself that it happened 200 years ago and everyone associated with her is gone. Probably.
you are misremembering, it's worse. the poor girl was pregnant and her "parent's" had thrown her out the "boyfriend" was in the wind and she was all alone and the hut was her only place to go.
The broadcast you pick up near the mall that is overrun with supermutants of a woman crying for help over the radio describing loud noises and explosions outside the room she is hiding in. You go in kill the supermutants, track down the source of the broadcast inside a hidden room and you find a skeleton in a chair next to the radio. It was a broadcast from before the war. The loud noises outside weren't the supermutants wrecking the place but the chaos of the war and the aftermath.
I actually ran into this encounter, although when I encountered them it was A) the middle of the night B) a little foggy and C) they seemed to be having a bit of a dispute with a group of raiders Didn’t stop Mr. Donoghue from trying to say hi to me
The raider standing over the grave of his friend is actually way sadder. Someone actually made a mod specifically for that random encounter that makes him not turn hostile towards you.
One time i found 2 supermutants walking a settler down the road like a dog on a leash.. this game never lets me down.... well, at least untill it crashes that is...lol

@@malegirlboss it was a random encounter i came across during the mission where you track down kellogg with dogmeta.. totally random tho because i reloaded the save and tried to find them again and they were gone
did you know....the skyrim dragon and vertibird use the same script.. thats why they both crash on you.. u absorb dragon souls so its supposed to be that way. Meanwhile, just minding my own business when outta nowhere a random vertibird gets taken out halfway across the commonwealth and lands directly on top of you, exploding and killing you
Your neighbors lived much longer than they would have if they had gotten into the vault or if there had been no blast. In some ways they're the luckiest of everyone (except for going feral).
Yet, even if they managed to get into the vault. They would still die anyway due to cryogenic failure as how other vault 111 dwellers do due to Kellog who shuts down the life support oxygen.
@Xananymous Exactly, so being left out of the vault, then being ghoulified (thus extending their life by 100 years) was the best possible outcome for them.
Pre-ordered. Really cool idea with the guitar raffle, would love to see more of those in the future like you mentioned, especially a hardtail jazzmaster build!
Youve got me into fall out man watched almost all of your fallout vids when i was like 14 or 15 sad these ended but theres only sp much in the game keep doin u man
FFTA did that too. But in that game all enemies are randomly named, so you may not notice that the zombies on an early mission are the bullies from the tutorial.
lol did anyone else notice Mike Pence in the beginning saying "Hey there." Look at the names in the beginning of the video when he is running down the street
For my Legion playthrough of New Vegas I made Micheal Jackson. I kept saying “Shamone” and “A Hee Hee” when I did something evil and collected as many of the the fatman mods called the “little boy kit” (this was before the update that made mods super expensive, like 500 caps rather then 15000) that I could find.
Did you know that kid and his parents are stuck in a time loop? If you leave the house after the news report and just stand there, you'll notice they keep running past, over and over for eternity
They probably survived the nuclear detonation because they were inside really powerful t60’s so they would’ve been knocked over but they wouldn’t have the burden of turning into a ghoul

Poor people, seeing them crying and pleading outside the vault, realising they are bound to a horrible and ghoulish fate (literally).
They all seemed like nice people and couples in the neighbourhood. It's heart breaking to see them like that, rotting away, their minds lost and fried. 😢
They could have sought shelter instead of sitting in the open, but nooooo that would make too much senae
@@tickleboi6581 not like it would do literally anything
Shorts like this get me wanting to play fallout 4 again
Mike Pence, Fallout protagonist. Never thought id see the day
Thats hilarious 😂
If the game didnt tell you their names you would never know it was them...
I was wondering why they had names and the other ghouls didn't lol thank you for explaining!
This confirms that the main character is not a synth
How so?
@@aristotle29 it's self explanatory
@blindliberty4478 it sure isn't or else I wouldn't have asked
I have one... I came across a girls corpse just southeast of Vault 111 in a shack. There was a suitcase with a teddy bear and a holotape of her last words. She was a runaway and was meeting her boyfriend but wanted to go home when it got dark cold and he didn't show up (I could be remembering that wrong but it was still sad). I had to remind myself that it happened 200 years ago and everyone associated with her is gone. Probably.
you are misremembering, it's worse.
the poor girl was pregnant and her "parent's" had thrown her out the "boyfriend" was in the wind and she was all alone and the hut was her only place to go.
The broadcast you pick up near the mall that is overrun with supermutants of a woman crying for help over the radio describing loud noises and explosions outside the room she is hiding in.
You go in kill the supermutants, track down the source of the broadcast inside a hidden room and you find a skeleton in a chair next to the radio. It was a broadcast from before the war. The loud noises outside weren't the supermutants wrecking the place but the chaos of the war and the aftermath.
Plus the ominous music that plays once you go inside the cabin
If there's one thing Bethesda knows about making video games, it's atmosphere. When you go out and find things yourself, they're good at that stuff
@@JargonMadjin that didn’t work out with Starfield did it?
I never made the connection. My heart just sank. This game continues to have some of the saddest moments
Perhaps they stayed neighbors for many years as ghouls, and then stuck together as each one
succumbed to feral form?
“The lucky ones died in the blast”
Plot twist. They hated you anyways and planned to jump you as soon as you were out of the vault 😆
It was that one thought that keep them alive all those years.
i think the donaghues and sumners are sith lords
That is some Fallout 1 💩 right there!
I actually ran into this encounter, although when I encountered them it was A) the middle of the night B) a little foggy and C) they seemed to be having a bit of a dispute with a group of raiders
Didn’t stop Mr. Donoghue from trying to say hi to me
It’s definitely the raider mourning his jet addict buddy
I have played this gama A LOT and never thought of this!
The raider standing over the grave of his friend is actually way sadder. Someone actually made a mod specifically for that random encounter that makes him not turn hostile towards you.
link mod plz sad raider should live
@@HansFokkenschitt i unite them always ♥️
His sadness won’t forgive his transgressions against the people of the commonwealth
@@georgemurdock7670Damn Straight. Ad Victoriam Brother.
@@zerosen1972 ad victoriam ☺️
i tried to speak with him but had to unite them
One time i found 2 supermutants walking a settler down the road like a dog on a leash.. this game never lets me down....
well, at least untill it crashes that is...lol
Good old bugthesda
really?! i did like 10 playthroughs and never encountered this! what npcs are those? anyone knows where i can see them? please tell me this sounds hilarious
@@malegirlboss it was a random encounter i came across during the mission where you track down kellogg with dogmeta.. totally random tho because i reloaded the save and tried to find them again and they were gone
did you know....the skyrim dragon and vertibird use the same script.. thats why they both crash on you.. u absorb dragon souls so its supposed to be that way. Meanwhile, just minding my own business when outta nowhere a random vertibird gets taken out halfway across the commonwealth and lands directly on top of you, exploding and killing you
@@malegirlboss did you even watch the video? It legit tells you in less than 1 min where they're at... The very beginning of the game
I never knew why they were named! That's crazy!
So that's how those gouls got their name...
Your neighbors lived much longer than they would have if they had gotten into the vault or if there had been no blast. In some ways they're the luckiest of everyone (except for going feral).
Yet, even if they managed to get into the vault. They would still die anyway due to cryogenic failure as how other vault 111 dwellers do due to Kellog who shuts down the life support oxygen.
@Xananymous Exactly, so being left out of the vault, then being ghoulified (thus extending their life by 100 years) was the best possible outcome for them.
@@Not-Great-at-Gamingthats true i mean id rather become a ghoul than die of a nuclear blast then id just try to find a way to stop myself going feral
What I always wonder was how does your character recognise them, they ain't exactly looking their best
You're putting too much logic into this
I mean Mrs Donoghue is still looking tight .
Well maybe the player remembers the location and the clothes so they put the clues together.
It's cuz your player is a synth and vats told them so 🤣
I guess because of their clothes. It's been 200 years for everyone else, but it's only been a few minutes for the sole survivor.
This game has so many tiny well thought out details that even I who look for them can’t find them all
I encounter them a lot of times per play through. It's like they just keep coming back to life
I didn't know Mike Pence was in Fallout 4. Holy shit i'm discovering things about the game after 8 years still
There is no ghoul called Pence
@@Sarnarathits the name the player named himself
Glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed lol
One of the couples salutes the vault dwellers as you run down the street. That’s sad, they know they’re dead.
Damn! 10/7/23, and only just now are these dots connected! Even sadder than I remember.
Bro im literally playing Fallout 4 for the first time since the dlc and just had this encounter last night and was wondering. That's awesome.
The first time I came across them near fort Hagen they absolutely wrecked me!
My first realization of this was when i saw Ms Rosa and her son and that's when i knew that the named ferals were the main protag's neighbors
one of the tousands of reasons why I love Fallout 4.
Pre-ordered. Really cool idea with the guitar raffle, would love to see more of those in the future like you mentioned, especially a hardtail jazzmaster build!
You do them a kindness they were rejected from: saving them from their fate
The citizens who didn't get to the vault are actually the lucky ones
Strangely enough, it happened to me twice in a single playthrough
Well..... the salesman survived!!!! And he is sane!!!!!!
Ive always with this random encounter came with a key or something on one of them to a locked area. Its unfortunate but still cool
That's not a sad encounter, they are terrifying at level 3 etc 😂😱
Laughs in Molotov...
Youve got me into fall out man watched almost all of your fallout vids when i was like 14 or 15 sad these ended but theres only sp much in the game keep doin u man
Awesome attention to detail.
FFTA did that too. But in that game all enemies are randomly named, so you may not notice that the zombies on an early mission are the bullies from the tutorial.
Sometimes i get this encounter like 3 times a playthrough and it ruins it for me lol
Definitely a bug, certain encounters are scripted to only happen once and i believe this is one of them
@@GravitonAllNightLong if you don’t kill them all it can come again i think, one of them being stuck in the floor or wall, event can happen again.
I’ve played this game 4 times!! And I’ve never noticed this! AMAZING
lol did anyone else notice Mike Pence in the beginning saying "Hey there." Look at the names in the beginning of the video when he is running down the street
Bruh, is your character’s name Mike Pence?!
My current character is “Curious George W Bush”
@@TheEpicNate315 that’s incredible
For my Legion playthrough of New Vegas I made Micheal Jackson. I kept saying “Shamone” and “A Hee Hee” when I did something evil and collected as many of the the fatman mods called the “little boy kit” (this was before the update that made mods super expensive, like 500 caps rather then 15000) that I could find.
DUDE!! I always wondered what was with those gouls!!
random encounter and neighbor being in the same video is crazy
I do love the attention to detail
The shadow of the jet on the houses in your neighborhood... 💀
"Except only kind off"
*About to send Mrs. Donoghue into heaven*
I am in total shock and awe of just how horrifyingly dark Fallout is, and I love it.
Its one of the coolest games to play in VR. The beginning is especially chilling.
I encountered this and didn’t think anything of it thanks for the vid man
Cool, I never noticed that detail and played over a thousand hours in this game.
This is a really cool detail !!
Did you know that kid and his parents are stuck in a time loop? If you leave the house after the news report and just stand there, you'll notice they keep running past, over and over for eternity
"Saddest encounter."
"Number three."
I like how the video cuts right before he blows the ghoul's head off with the DB
It also occured to me that the soldiers guarding the path to the Vault and keeping others out, were also not allowed into the vault.
They probably survived the nuclear detonation because they were inside really powerful t60’s so they would’ve been knocked over but they wouldn’t have the burden of turning into a ghoul
After two centuries, you put them out of their misery.
Ad Victoriam, soldier.
Hey Mike Pence. Good to hear from you.
I never would have put this together, I’ve played fallout 4 dozens of times and laughed at finding the weird named ghoul hoard every time but this is actually super sad
The details of this game are 2nd to none. So deep....
I have never played fallout and now I really wanted to try them out.
I played countless hours and ever notices this.
The Vault Tech Rep😭 poor guy was loyal and got kicked to the curb
“Survived” for over 200 years 😮
"Only kind of"
*gun pointing directly at her head while shes on the ground*
