Originally I was going to cover both Super Mutants and the FEV, as well as talk about certain unique Super Mutants such as Frank Horrigan, Swan, and Harold but the video would have likely been over an hour long and that seems a bit much to me, but the FEV will receive it's own video, as will the mutants mentioned along with any others you would like to see.

Most of the Super Mutants in Fallout 4 occasionally use melee or pipe weapons. But things like assault and laser rifles don’t add up. Virgil actually points out how his fingers are too big to use keyboards.
@@rumblymclovin3578 Agreed, but I'm not sure their tiny minds are capable of such reasoning. Also, I didn't mention things like manipulating rifle bolts, handling relatively tiny rounds of ammunition etc. They're far more suited to big hitty things, bless 'em.
@@richardcastle3204 i feel like they rip off the trigger guards and all their firearms are looted from the survivors they kill. Which would explain why you dont find a lot of ammunition on them until you get better luck stats
Super Mutant Suiciders always make me laugh when they shout "ONLY ONE OF US IS GOING TO SURVIVE THIS". But it makes me wonder if they genuinely believe it won't kill them.
Now that I think about it, I don’t think I can recall seeing more than one suicider at once. Maybe the groups never figure it out until it’s too late?😂
Imagine starting a fallout game in the scene where you're exposed to FEV in a vault and become a super mutant. The main story quest line involves trying to retrace your steps and rediscover who you used to be. Would be a neat concept for a spinoff game.

@@artgoingget a gaming laptop bro! It’s only a bit more expensive than a ps5 for a nice one. TTW is a must have for fallout fans. And if you want high quality, lore friendly mods you need a PC. Also it gives new Vegas a functional post game ending where your decisions actually impacted the world!
Second generation mutants in Fallout 2, and I just laugh because I remember going to the military base in that, and because it was meant to be a late-game optional dungeon, the Super Mutants inside were actually beefed up, since the player gets so much more powerful in Fallout 2 than they did in 1, and the name they gave the beefed up mutants: "Super Duper Mutants." No, I'm not kidding.
The group of super mutants not casting out their blind fellow SM despite his disability is also a mark of humanity. We have archeological records of an ancient human man who broke one of his limbs when he was young and yet lived to middle age because his tribe still took care of him. It's in our nature to look after each other, and it's clearly still in the nature of super mutants.
I always felt bad killing him. Specially since hes just chillin listening to the radio - Which that on it's own is not something I expected from a Commonwealth Super Mutant.
I really want more friendly super mutants going forward. Theyre my favorite wasteland species with so much history and are practically the most iconic figure in fallout. Even if they dont make sense at times.
I just want to say I agree. I actually listen to super mutant battle shouts, and they just sound scared and engulfed in revenge for their dead brothers. Such as, “You’ll pay for this!”
@@eduardcruceru9004 i didn't like it either, but I wouldn't say that it sucked. The commonwealth is a fresh take on fallout and I like the ideological dynamics between factions safe for the Institute.
Data, facts, and no nonsense. This is what lore youtubers should have in their videos, and you nailed it. Plus straight into a conclussion that make sense.
West Coast Fallout: All Super Mutants are the result of F.E.V. exposure at Mariposa. East Coast Fallout: Everyone with a test tube made Super Mutants and half of them just released those mutants into the wild for some reason.
@@thelonesomedrifter5884 Agreed. They simply could have made Vault 87 the new Mariposa and the source of all East Coast Super Mutants. 76 didn't need them it's just branding, but for Fallout 4 the Institute was already in the Capital Wasteland in Fallout 3. Was it too insane to think maybe they could have sent a Synth or two into Vault 87 at some point? The radiation wouldn't have been a problem for them.
@@ironnordegraf Eh, they were running out of F.E.V in vault 87 and they are too violent to be left alive (unlike their Western cousins). As for Fallout 4 I don't know really, there was only one Institute agent in Fallout 3 and he was just there to find a synth.
@@thelonesomedrifter5884 True. I wasn't considering they be capable of breeding only that F.E.V. contamination on the East coast originates from 87. Exactly how would take some clever writing which isn't exactly Bethesda's strong suit. As for the Institute I know it was just the one guy there for an unrelated reason, but we know they can and are willing to travel that far. In a world where they had no knowledge of them prior, rumours or just the knowledge that they exist might draw them there and a little investigation work could lead them to 87. Hell, if a random vault dweller could figure it out why couldn't they. Everything else including how the Mutants would escape the Institute...again better writing than just "they let them out." That's just how I might go, not perfect, but a little better. I just want a little more consistency, others may have better ideas. Pick an origin and stick with it. West Coast Fallout has consistent origin for Super Mutants for five games. Bethesda couldn't do it for just three.
"Despite their significant increase in size, strength, and immunity. The mutants suffered from mental illness" I have that last thing and didn't even need the FEV to do it
Man post war U.S must be the worst place to live in, super mutants, deathclaws, cazadores, nightstalkers.. if they had not created all those things the wasteland woud be much more easy to live in
So true, however the game makes a radiated land look easy to live in.. when i started fallout 4 after leaving a cryo pod there was radroaches about the vault the size of a small dog.. imagine that in real life.. ants the size of cats.. bee swarms by the hundreds, radiated beavers 😅🍪☕ The only animal I could see legitimately come true if the world was nuked would be mongrel dogs and radiated birds.. as in 2021 in the u.k it's already dangerous to eat any local birds because what they eat is literally trash. Seagulls tear open trash bins and they become poisonous. I mean imagine we had to eat those birds today, there already full of poisons.
Pretty sure Post-War was far worse. Super Mutants was not a thing as they had yet to be created. Deathclaws was not living in the wild. Cazadores and nightstalkers most likely were not made and didn't live in the wild as well. Pre-war did not have to deal with these issues, yet post-war people have to deal with them.
U sure? because of these mutants there is a... nature economie going on. They all eat each other. Normally whit no mutants radiation kil everything means no food to eat. They have mutants dangerous or not it gives nature a twisted chance.
if you want to see a true horror i would recomend the (Post) apocopalyptic audiobook: world war its a series of 7+ books taking place like 265 ish years afther a world war that devestated the entire planet. and the world is a TRUE hellscape in those books. easly a 100x more dangerous than basicly any area in the fallout series. you probably better chance killing swan at lvl 1 with your fists than surviving for a long time on the surface. atleast for any normal people. i can defenitly recomend the books :)

I always thought Fallout 3 super mutants were the scariest. The idea that these monsters wouldn't just rip apart anyone in their way and actually kidnap people to create more of their kind was skin crawling to me when I was a kid playing that game. I didn't know how super mutants were made so I assumed they were always kidnapping people to procreate with them, so I always thought they were like brutal, gore obsessed, rapists when I was younger. I had no idea they dipped people in FEV.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the notes found with a lot of the Commonwealth Super Mutants. Often they have been given instructions, that suggests they may have a larger social order, possibly a leader. It's possible that each camp sends out scouts with the same orders but they all have the same orders.
I hope we get to see more intelligent super mutants in the future, its really cool to see how the smart mutants think about themselves and their people like uncle Leo and fawkes. Its also cool to see peaceful mutants, like seeing these military/pre war science virus monsters being like farmers and living life like the humans they used to be. I also hope we get to see bigger super mutants, since that east coast mutants keep growing, creating behemoths and hopefully bigger mutants like a super super behemoth or something
Make leo a leader of a faction of friendly and intelligent super mutants that devote their incredibly long life to noting down the history of the wastelands which includes him, Mean sonofabitch and Marcus
"they trump humans in every way for survival" The wanderer,sole survivor, courier, chosen one and vault dweller: No Side note, can I just say that these videos are some of the best fallout lore videos I have seen, they deserve so much more traffic
Ah the Supermutants. The staple of Fallout I do love that you can always tell that supermutants come from different batches of the virus. Some are smaller and smarter, like the ones made by the Institute refined FEV, or their big, with skull like faces like the Capital Wasteland batch
@@Dragoncam13 Id say on avarage, the Institute Batch had more consistent intelligence all around. Sure they weren’t all hyper smart, but on average they tended to be reasonably intelligent based on interactions with them and talking with Strong Yeah the West Coast had really smart mutants. And they also had complete morons like Harry, Larry and Barry. And that’s without mentioning the Gen 2 mutants
@@Mobysimo ahhhh I remember,makes sense tbh. Where the master perfectly crafted him whenever he was alive while the rest were trapped and abandoned inside after being forced to dig through the ruins
The strain in the Vim Factory in Far Harbour had some oddidies. It kept some of the mutants intelligence in place. Probably something to do with the fev being made in the same vats as the vim pop xD
There is no FEV at the Vim Factory. The SMs on The Island migrated there from the mainland. The one mutant that is converted to a more peaceful, perhaps more intelligent, status was affected by a side effect of 'The Fog'....but that seems to be a one-off, as the rest of the SMs retain their Commonwealth Strain characteristics.
Because for some reason the Institute wanted to destabilize the Commonwealth in order to prevent them from rising up against them… which they would only do because of the things they’ve done to destabilize the Commonwealth.
Pretty sure somewhere along the line it was done in an attempt to clear out the surviving people from the surface, but then Bethesda forgot that's why and decided the institute had no desire to leave their underground lair so their inclusion in the game ended up making no sense.
I wonder if there will be another place like Jacobstown in the next Fallout. I love the interaction with friendly Super Mutants. I also wonder if they'll bring back Nightkin.
I honestly didn't know that all super mutants from each game were different. I just thought it was a design choice that made them look different from fallout 3 to new vegas
Swan was a really mean, unique Super Behemoth I had trouble killing the first few times I encountered him on Fallout 4, without reaching Level 12 at least. I remember using power armour once, quite a lot of grenades, and about 500 minigun bullets.
"Although I do wonder what the offspring of a human, and a Super Mutant might look like" My mind is suddenly flooded with images of that clip from Family Guy, where Kermit and Mrs Piggy have a kid.......*shudders*
The only Fallout game I have ever played is 4, but thanks to this video, I now know what a Super Mutant means when I hear one say "No green stuff here". I always wondered what that meant. Judging by the meatbags hanging everywhere, I was pretty sure they weren't talking about lettuce and broccoli 😄 This is a cool video series, I only just discovered it. Will definitely be watching more. Cheers!
I see you are extending this series after many people found it simply spectacular. Sometimes, the algorithm does it’s job. Keep up the good work boss. I can see you with 1.4 mil in a few years. Cheers! Stay safe!
There is so much to explore with those mininuke mutants, THANK YOU for bringing that up! It's a little talked about mystery that has so many possibilities in the story telling sense, because they certainly could just throw the mininuke. Profound and fresh story contemplation 6 years after a videogame release, this is how you youtube.
We may be closer to developing our own version of FEV than you may think. Not to mention the fact that we are currently living in a dystopia which have already started to lay the groundwork to make it a distinct possibility.
@@PLANDerLinde99 I wonder if they were specifically designed. In another video he covered what happens when fev is directly injected in the brain. The elderly woman turned supermutant holds clues I think to this and what happened to some of the people from the Appalachian strain. You meet her at Jacob's Town, Tabitha also queues to the schizophrenia and psychopathy of nightkin. It seems like supermutant minds are not fully capable of distinguishing between fantasy and reality much more than even some of the worst cases of schizophrenia and the use of cloaking devices only exacerbated this. Perhaps due to isolation. That would explain why supermutants you meet in vaults or underground facilities are more aggressive. Also if you listen to their conversations supermutants seem to fear humans or at least be averse to them primarily based on appearance, weakness seems more of an afterthought.
Just recent stumbled on your Chanel and am a huge fan of the lore series. I never got into fallout lore myself, so it’s very fun to have some of my findings explained
Ironic that they depend on humans to continue their species, and yet if they turned all humans into super mutants they would mark the beginning of their own extinction.
Great video, and I'm loving your channel. You're doing a good job on covering creatures, locations and enemies in fallout, do you think you could do a video on energy weapons? The variations, the in game lore, the uses in the fallout games. It might even be a few videos if it's a big enough topic.
Your channel is the reason that i went back to play fallout 3 for the first time in almost a decade. Ive literally spent 55 hours on it in the last 2 weeks.
Great video. However, I'd like to know more about the Scorched and their fondness for Ultracite. Possibly even some more info on the Scorched Beasts as well.
This might sound a little dumb, but I'm thinking you should make a video on the scorched plague from fallout 76. I've encountered normal scorched, as well as scorched deathclaws. If you do, I'll be there! Also, you've earned a sub.
I feel awful for those forced to go through the procedure, especially those who after just wanted to have a normal life. Even though it’s just a game, Id hope they all would find the life meant for them thats not just killing..A great video, thanks for uploading!
Except for the evil run Vault Dweller from FO1, who probably deserved being turned into a super mutant after letting the mutants massacre their vault. Still hard to watch them struggle and be dumped into the vat of FEV though..
@@leshape192The vault dweller is exposed to the FEV before the raid on Vault 13. The ending narration even mentions that you were the one to kill the overseer.
This was incredibly interesting. I never got the chance to play Fallout 1 or 2 so a lot of lore is lost to me because of that. Although I have played Fallout 3 - 4 plus all the DLC. Always wondered about the different cosmetics and appearances of the Super Mutants but just figured it was a new look for each new game. Thanks for the upload!
I was also wondering that, one major difference in appearance is the use of braces (the weird strap pinning back their upper lips) seems to be no logical answer, it was simply the result of the designer having way too much fun and not thinking about the lore behind it
I'd love to see a stable supermutant society in a future game. Maybe in some isolated valley that was never exposed to the mutated FEV, so they are all prime normals. If some of the smart first generation supermutants found a place like that and took over, they could form a culture where humans are seen as larval forms of supermutants; they reproduce a couple times and then immediately get dipped. The population can be stable and people expect the dipping as normal. (yeah, it's pretty much a remix/rip-off of a major plot point from an Asimov story, but I think it fits)
You're really good at explaining stuff. I usually have a hard time understanding and even paying attention. But you explain it to where I can easily understand. As well as you make it where I can concentrate and listen. This is some very interesting stuff. Looking forward to more lore videos !!

"Far larger than their former selves", except for their fingers, which still fit easily into the trigger guards of standard firearms.
That is actually a great point, based on growth alone most human weapons would be unusable without some modification.

I'd say the west coast branch had smarter super mutants. Like Harold,Marcus,Lily,and Frank Horrigan for example
@@Dragoncam13 Id say on avarage, the Institute Batch had more consistent intelligence all around. Sure they weren’t all hyper smart, but on average they tended to be reasonably intelligent based on interactions with them and talking with Strong
Yeah the West Coast had really smart mutants. And they also had complete morons like Harry, Larry and Barry. And that’s without mentioning the Gen 2 mutants
@@Mobysimo true,Gen 2 were idiots but didn’t they come from a different strain?
@@Dragoncam13 Nope same strain. They were mutated inside the ruins of Mariposa
@@Mobysimo ahhhh I remember,makes sense tbh. Where the master perfectly crafted him whenever he was alive while the rest were trapped and abandoned inside after being forced to dig through the ruins
A video on what happened to the Enclave between Fallout 2 and 3 would be cool but I'm not sure if there is enough to go off.
The BoS and the NCR teamed up and destroyed navarro, sending the enclave to the east coast.
The strain in the Vim Factory in Far Harbour had some oddidies. It kept some of the mutants intelligence in place. Probably something to do with the fev being made in the same vats as the vim pop xD
There is no FEV at the Vim Factory. The SMs on The Island migrated there from the mainland. The one mutant that is converted to a more peaceful, perhaps more intelligent, status was affected by a side effect of 'The Fog'....but that seems to be a one-off, as the rest of the SMs retain their Commonwealth Strain characteristics.
Sure wish I could play as a super mutant Bethesda...
I'm honestly surprised they haven't done a fallout game where you can choose your species like in skyrim.
Originally you were in the cancelled F3
Fallout new vegas it was suppose to be a thing
Man this really is a good Lore channel, definitely sticking with you to get my lore info
Dude does NOT disappoint!
Welcome brother, you are welcomed with open arms
If only Bethesda would do the same
I like it, but I wont lie. I still miss shodycast
@@luisfernandosantosn we all do
"the institute was creating super mutants and releasing them into the wasteland" why?
For science!
Because for some reason the Institute wanted to destabilize the Commonwealth in order to prevent them from rising up against them… which they would only do because of the things they’ve done to destabilize the Commonwealth.
@@Falloutlover1011 | Not the best written game.
Pretty sure somewhere along the line it was done in an attempt to clear out the surviving people from the surface, but then Bethesda forgot that's why and decided the institute had no desire to leave their underground lair so their inclusion in the game ended up making no sense.
Dosen't matter in the long run anyway, all fallout 4 ended up being was a way to ease people into the mechanics used in 76.
Discovered your channel yesterday and have been on a marathon. Love your presentation man
Amen. It's presented in such a nice way
I 3rd this. Awesome channel and he's got that smooth as butter radio voice.
I wonder if there will be another place like Jacobstown in the next Fallout. I love the interaction with friendly Super Mutants.
I also wonder if they'll bring back Nightkin.
🤞
I hope Uncle Leo will make a cameo he was supposed to in NV
@@DirtyGeorgemy favorite friendly mutant in Nv is mars the mute
So happy I found this channel, fallout was my first ever favorite game series, and to see videos still being made about it puts a big smile on my face
This is the closest thing to return to monke I can think of
I honestly didn't know that all super mutants from each game were different. I just thought it was a design choice that made them look different from fallout 3 to new vegas
Swan was a really mean, unique Super Behemoth I had trouble killing the first few times I encountered him on Fallout 4, without reaching Level 12 at least.
I remember using power armour once, quite a lot of grenades, and about 500 minigun bullets.
"Although I do wonder what the offspring of a human, and a Super Mutant might look like"
My mind is suddenly flooded with images of that clip from Family Guy, where Kermit and Mrs Piggy have a kid.......*shudders*
gross muppet baby
@@Synonymous101 a poorly, gooily formed mess of nightmare fuel >__
@@1987metalhead 🤢 kill it with fire!
@@Synonymous101 For the good of all, definitely! O__O Horrific thing..
Ha, I was hoping an image would pop up of something f- up.
The only Fallout game I have ever played is 4, but thanks to this video, I now know what a Super Mutant means when I hear one say "No green stuff here". I always wondered what that meant. Judging by the meatbags hanging everywhere, I was pretty sure they weren't talking about lettuce and broccoli 😄
This is a cool video series, I only just discovered it. Will definitely be watching more. Cheers!

My parents: Aww you look so cute!
How i actually looked like:
Lore on power armor? It's does feel ever changing since bethesda keeps adding more and more but a look at t-45 and t-51 would be nice
I disliked your comments.
@@KetchupPankaka why’d you do that?
@@KetchupPankaka and more importantly: what did he try to achieve?
I mean the power frame was awesome
@@lechefy1413 I must say that retcon was a welcome addition.
I see you are extending this series after many people found it simply spectacular. Sometimes, the algorithm does it’s job. Keep up the good work boss. I can see you with 1.4 mil in a few years. Cheers! Stay safe!
There is so much to explore with those mininuke mutants, THANK YOU for bringing that up! It's a little talked about mystery that has so many possibilities in the story telling sense, because they certainly could just throw the mininuke. Profound and fresh story contemplation 6 years after a videogame release, this is how you youtube.
We may be closer to developing our own version of FEV than you may think. Not to mention the fact that we are currently living in a dystopia which have already started to lay the groundwork to make it a distinct possibility.
Its wild almost anyone can buy "CRISPR Home DNA kit" o.o
I can't get enough of these videos so informative and said in a brilliantly clear voice
Fairly new to fallout, but aren’t nightkin also a branch of supermutants... or is that for another video?
Supermutants that have an obsession over using Stealth boys. It turns their skin blue and gives them schizophrenia. That's the simple explanation
@@PLANDerLinde99 I wonder if they were specifically designed. In another video he covered what happens when fev is directly injected in the brain. The elderly woman turned supermutant holds clues I think to this and what happened to some of the people from the Appalachian strain. You meet her at Jacob's Town, Tabitha also queues to the schizophrenia and psychopathy of nightkin. It seems like supermutant minds are not fully capable of distinguishing between fantasy and reality much more than even some of the worst cases of schizophrenia and the use of cloaking devices only exacerbated this. Perhaps due to isolation. That would explain why supermutants you meet in vaults or underground facilities are more aggressive. Also if you listen to their conversations supermutants seem to fear humans or at least be averse to them primarily based on appearance, weakness seems more of an afterthought.
Always love how thorough and concise your lore videos are - great work!
Hell yeah new episode!
I recently found your vids and gotta say I’m hooked to the lore stuff, listen to ‘em when I sleep.
Keep up the good work!

"Where did they come from?"
Where did they go, where you come from, Cotton Eye Mutant?
honestly love how these are edited and stylized, my favorite fallout channel and you are truly a hidden gem. Much love from the Mojave
these are the best videos i have seen in a while on youtube
Part Shoddycast, part Oxhorn, part MittenSquad, fully British.
Funny voice man say swear word
Don't forget the OG the nth apple
I love these lore videos! Keep up the great work dude
A new video by synonymous, the most underrated YT channel I've seen. Glad to see the high views on a new video! Keep it up! Love your work
I love your channel man you really go in-depth on some things that I'm sure nobody has ever explored. Keep up the good work
Just recent stumbled on your Chanel and am a huge fan of the lore series. I never got into fallout lore myself, so it’s very fun to have some of my findings explained
Ah yes my brethren, I was wondering when you would make this.
This channel is gaining momentum brilliant you deserve it man
Ironic that they depend on humans to continue their species, and yet if they turned all humans into super mutants they would mark the beginning of their own extinction.
Maybe a video on the think tank and the experiments that happened at big MT
Oh hey, good to see a new fallout youtuber. The content you make are very good and professional. Keep it up
Amazing video, we love how you get straight to the point
your videos are so well produced and informational, keep doing what you do man, love the videos. hope you hit 100k soon :D
Just started playing fallout 4 for the first time and I'm loving your channel. Loving the game too.👌👍
Love the lore videos. Up to date and easy to sit down and enjoy.
Great video, and I'm loving your channel. You're doing a good job on covering creatures, locations and enemies in fallout, do you think you could do a video on energy weapons? The variations, the in game lore, the uses in the fallout games. It might even be a few videos if it's a big enough topic.
I've only watched a couple of your videos and I already love your channel keep up the good work
Thanks for the heart. I can't wait for the next vid!!!
Your channel is the reason that i went back to play fallout 3 for the first time in almost a decade. Ive literally spent 55 hours on it in the last 2 weeks.
That's awesome! 😁👍
@@Synonymous101 keep up the good work love your videos
excellent video, very well made and kept my attention the whole time. good narration.
God I subscribed after 1 of these lore. This is amazingly made I cannot wait to see this page expand
ayyy another banger, nice work man :)
Post notification squad I clicked so quick I'm currently on new vegas black mountain fighting nightkin while watching this
Very important part of the lore, nice video!
Even though I know so much about fallout I still love watching great lore videos like these.
Great video. However, I'd like to know more about the Scorched and their fondness for Ultracite. Possibly even some more info on the Scorched Beasts as well.
Honestly, I'd love to see a lot more friendly Super Mutants in future Fallout games.
Fantastic video. I went into this expecting to know all the lore and you taught me some things I didnt know. Just subbed!
Cheers!
Welcome aboard!
Great lore video, keep up the good work!
This might sound a little dumb, but I'm thinking you should make a video on the scorched plague from fallout 76. I've encountered normal scorched, as well as scorched deathclaws. If you do, I'll be there! Also, you've earned a sub.
Amazing series! You should possibly do insects next! Like cazadors or bloat flys etc.
This channel is top notch i dont know why it lacks so much attention
great video man! love the style and the lore that is true or based off basic observations. can't wait till the next video
I feel awful for those forced to go through the procedure, especially those who after just wanted to have a normal life. Even though it’s just a game, Id hope they all would find the life meant for them thats not just killing..A great video, thanks for uploading!
Except for the evil run Vault Dweller from FO1, who probably deserved being turned into a super mutant after letting the mutants massacre their vault. Still hard to watch them struggle and be dumped into the vat of FEV though..
@@leshape192The vault dweller is exposed to the FEV before the raid on Vault 13. The ending narration even mentions that you were the one to kill the overseer.
BABE WAKE UP SUPER MUTANT SYNONYMOUS VIDEO
Adding this video to my watch later list as I am currently at work. No doubt that it is amazing! :)
Happy I came across the channel subbed and I’ll watch this when the shift ends 👌
This was incredibly interesting. I never got the chance to play Fallout 1 or 2 so a lot of lore is lost to me because of that. Although I have played Fallout 3 - 4 plus all the DLC. Always wondered about the different cosmetics and appearances of the Super Mutants but just figured it was a new look for each new game. Thanks for the upload!
I was also wondering that, one major difference in appearance is the use of braces (the weird strap pinning back their upper lips) seems to be no logical answer, it was simply the result of the designer having way too much fun and not thinking about the lore behind it
The blind mutant is most likely a skyrim easter egg :D
There is a cave where a blind bandit "reads" an empty book and "watches" the entrance :D
Your lore videos are your best ones they feel the most original
Finally a new fallout lore channel to increase my procrastination level
Notification squad roll up
YeeeeaaaAAAAAA
In the tune of ludacris: Roll out! Roll out!
Nice one boys!
I'd love to see a stable supermutant society in a future game. Maybe in some isolated valley that was never exposed to the mutated FEV, so they are all prime normals. If some of the smart first generation supermutants found a place like that and took over, they could form a culture where humans are seen as larval forms of supermutants; they reproduce a couple times and then immediately get dipped. The population can be stable and people expect the dipping as normal. (yeah, it's pretty much a remix/rip-off of a major plot point from an Asimov story, but I think it fits)
I got recommended this video after only a few hours, I hope this means TH-cam is picking you up cause you deserve it!
You r going to be the next big fallout youtuber, keep up the good work man!
The town near Westek in 76 they yell at the player to get away from their home town or something like that.
Huntersville, they seem to be very protective of where they're born, provided they know where it is...
Watching this instead of studying for statistics exam 🙏🙏
You’re videos are awesome. Great work
Everytime I tune in it's a welcome surprise good to see your videos are doing well still
You're really good at explaining stuff. I usually have a hard time understanding and even paying attention. But you explain it to where I can easily understand. As well as you make it where I can concentrate and listen. This is some very interesting stuff. Looking forward to more lore videos !!
Glad to help!
