    The Fallout Universe has long been home to some of the biggest (and smallest) mysteries in gaming. Over the last few months, we've slowly compiled a great list of virtually every Fallout mystery and theory that could come to mind and assembled it all into an Iceberg format. Today is part one.

      In my mind, Shawn put you on this path to deliver you to the institute and have you be a kind of arbiter. To look at it with an unbiase eye and pass jugement, the story makes way more sense if you look at all the stuff going on as Shawn trying to get you to that point.

    • @GateCaptain
      @GateCaptain 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      @@captainseyepatch3879 Well, it's kind of canon that Shawn had been planning on letting the Sole Survivor out for a while before the start of the game and he went through the trouble of leaving breadcrumbs for them to follow. He sent Kellog and the kid to Diamond City, had Kellog stay on the surface and leave a breadcrumb trail for the MC to follow, and might have told mayor mcdonough to help you (Which he doesn't unless you pass a speech check to tell you about Valentine or convince him to give you a key to Kellogs house, but I think that's because the mayor seems more interested in his own goals than that of the Institute)
      Shawn admits that he didn't think your character would survive, but he did seem to hope you would, maybe he wanted you to be his heir from the very beginning. So it would make sense that he would give you an ally who could help you survive track down Kellog. Maybe he hoped you would find a way to the institute on your own, if not it's possible he would have found a way to bring you there eventually.
      Lastly, since I started thinking about the heir thing while writing this. Shawn didn't select an heir, I think there was mention of one director who seemed the most likely candidate, but shawn hadn't selected anyone yet. And some of the dialogue during your last few conversations with shawn suggests that the reason he died was because he stopped his cancer treatment, he could have continued living for who knows how long, but he stopped treatment to make room for the MC to take over.
      So my theory is that everything that Shawn lied when he said it was all an experiment, I think the truth is that he became sentimental and tried to justify it as something cold and scientific, that he started to doubt everything that the institute stood for. That he wanted to try and bond with his only surviving parent, to tie up loose ends and make sure that the institute would have a leader who could hopefully set them on a better path.

    Vault 19, the vault with the red and blue groups, is most likely based on the Robbers Cave Experiment. A social psychological experiment were they had two groups of boys artificially create rivalries in a summer camp.
    Also like to say that this is another banger in the iceberg videos. The entries are getting more interesting and more unknown.
    Like pickman in fallout 4, I remembered when I first found those paintings of his back in 2015. Felt like I entered an irl gaming creepypasta. But I haven’t seen much talk about him and his paintings online.

    22:20 we actually have a possible theory as to why dogmeat is so healthy. The fallout TV show gave us a glimpse into an enclave dog-training/FEV facility. Is it possible that there is another facility nearby the commonwealth where this one escaped? Mama Murphy has known dogmeat for an unknown amount of time but seems suspiciously aware of his personality and habits. Further inspection of dogmeat’s character reveals him as having been trained, combat proficient, and no apparent owner on top of being what seems to be a perfect animal in a world of wild mongrels and mutated hounds (which might be what the enclave is going for having both dog-training and FEV in the same facility; pre-programmed/trained mutant hounds).

And the mod got removed from Nexus because everyone hated it. And *It's been 200 years to get over our pre-conceptualize notions of race and sexism because, oh yeah, THE WORLD HAS ENDED* The creators responded to backlash with _"To those who are wondering why I am spending time on what appears to be such a trivial pursuit, well, if you're familiar with the modding scene, then you know that controversial mods get a lot of press. For example, ReaperAnon's mods Grounded Skyrim and More Racism in Windhelm - Improvements got a ton of traction on social media, and various outlets wrote up pieces about them. Some tweets about them on twitter had over 100,000 likes. We are convinced that if we play the cards right, we could get a lot of people talking about this mod, even if it doesn't get many downloads. We can attract a lot of new people and traffic to our circles."_

    My personal Decon head cannon is that he’s an ex-institute agent from before they used Coursers. He knew about the significance of Vault 111 and kept an eye on it in case the SS came out too.

    A theory I had about the Reds and Blues at Vault 19 is that when the entrance opened, or was opened by something (either an outside or an inside force), both factions though that the other ones can have the already half-functioning, failing and doomed Vault and that they would find something better on the surface.
    Of course, they were not prepared for the Mojave, and if I remember correctly, definitely not prepared for the Deathclaws scattered in a few hundred meter radius of the Vault.
    Speaking of which, could they have something to do with the Deathclaws? Probably not, but no one can expect Todd Howard's and/or Josh Sawyer's ways.

    About Dogmeat being a Synth, it should be noted that Synth Gorillas also don't drop synth components, so I'm wondering if it's even necessary that Synths have that particular component. It has to be something extra not needed for the synth to actually function. Especially since it looks the same as the courser chip. The wiki says the courser chip allows teleportation into the Institute. Interesting.
    Maybe synth components just allow the possibility of teleportation if needed? Like, have it pre-installed and just needing the software of the chip to be updated?
    So maybe not ever synth HAS to have a synth component.....really makes you think.

    For the duplicated raiders at the fishpacking plant, they could be synths, because in FO3 during the "Replicated Man" quest, the railroad agent gives you a synth component, which is only obtainable by killing a synth, but the synth it's from is very much still alive, so the railroad might have a way to remove synth components without killing the synth.
