There is only one job left in West Virginia: Archeologist. No Brotherhood, no Raiders, no Mistresses of Mystery. Only Oxhorn, studying the bones and notes with great interest.
If it’s in the water. Wouldn’t that mean that when the towns folk took showers or baths that they were basically being dunked into a vat of FEV? It would explain why it took so long cause they were exposed to minor doses.
We love Oxhorn because his videos tend to point out one obvious fact... When though humanity is adaptable and resilient enough to survive a nuclear disaster, corporate greed will kill us all in the end .
There is actually a super mutant in The Crater named ‘Gail’ who adopted a human girl named ‘Ra-Ra’. What if she’s Gail Meyer from Huntersville? Since they both have the same name, and it seems that Gail Meyer was turning into a super mutant, then they could be the same person.
Thank you for giving me a laugh! The line about the garden gnomes was great. Also the voice change for the terminal entry when the woman became a super mutant was really good. Surprised me at first, then it really helped with the feeling of what was going on. Fallout world is disturbing, and the USAA is a corrupt and disgusting place. All those poor people! West Teck, Vault Teck, Hallucigen, Enclave, and others. -shudder- What a frightening place!
"Was it an accident or were the townspeople guineapigs?" When it comes to the Fallout universe corporations, accidents are actually less likely than intended human experimentation, especially when the government itself backs the corporations because the results of the experiments may have significant military applications.
I guess that after tampering with the water supply, the application of FEV would follow social customs, such as taking showers or baths. They also ingested it by food and since it's a viral nature, it could remain dormant until it reached a proper host to thrive from. What I really wonder was if at the early stage of infections, when roads weren't blocked and people from other towns came by, if these "hosts" managed to carry the FEV virus to other locations and somehow, repeat the cycle that happened in Huntersville or, at least, made some random families change into Super Mutants. Now, that's a frightening and perplexing thought!!!
The FEV isn’t contagious like that. It can’t spread from person to person. They would have to be directly exposed to the FEV repeatedly in order for anything to happen. That’s the entire reason they had to infect the water supply rather than just infecting a couple people and letting it spread.
My mom's from West Virginia and I've gone back to visit her hometown (the smallest thing I've ever seen) and not to get too "tin-hat-y" here but I could absolutely see a biological company experimenting on people in small town WV and literally none of us would know.
Hey Ox, last week I ordered about $131 amount of stuff from your store on TeeSpring, I just got my first shirt today (A black Premium T-shirt that says "I am become death, destroyer of worlds" with the large nuke explosion) And I gotta say, it is amazing and beautiful. It's definitely worth throwing in the extra like $5 for a "premium T" it feels so soft :) I should be getting the rest of my stuff including a "It was rigged from the start" T-shirt. A "Patrolling the Mojave makes you wish for a nuclear Winter" Hoodie (cause that has to be a hoodie, for winter Duh) And a "The burned man walks" T-shirt, all premium, all black. I already got a "Who are you who does not know your history" T-shirt and a "Protect the people at a minutes notice" Hoodie for Christmas. So I just wanted to say; thank you, for everything, all the amazing content, and the amazing apparel, keep doing what you're doing Ox.
Im so happy you are making lore videos on F76. I would never have found so much lore on my own because I tend to just run through all the terminal posts etc as fast as I can since enemies have a tendency to spawn fast. At least that is how I feel it.
TREXSTER BLACK yes, same here. Though I would like to read all of it myself, but I get stressed out because there is just so much to read sometimes and the respawning of enemies does not take that long. Pluss sometimes you will get to a place and someone has been there before, killing all the enemies, and you have no idea how long it will take before they all respawn. Im also playing it on ps4 and I suck at using controllers to aim and shoot instead of keyboard and mouse. It also feels like even though I shoot stuff at a distance that shouldnt be able to miss, It still does 😫 One time I was standing straight infront of a super mutant and blastibg it full of shotgun shells, it hardly took any damage and ended up killing me. So I ragequit and havent played it since 😂
@@voodoobaby3256 yea, since the game is always online there can be input lag on a lot of your interactions in the game, like dealing damage and picking up items, and it also can make enemies teleport around when moving. Its super annoying, I wish I could choose to play this offline so everything would just work...
Alex VanDover yeah I know. I wish too that I could play it online because right now I havent played since desember/january. And I was pretty positive to the whole idea, even the fact that there are no human NPCs and that you have to read letters and terminals to get lore etc. But it is annoying as hell when I clear out a place and it takes too long to do so, so when Im about to read whatever I need to read the enemies have respawned. It makes me not enjoy the game and the fact that last time I stood right infront of a super mutant, emptying my shotgun in him, while he took almost no damage, but he proceeds to kill me, made me just ragequit instantly. Im not a high level, but with the amount of shotgun shells I put in him should have been enough to kill at least six mutants. And it wasn’t long before that that I was in a small village, filled with mutants that just kept on spawning in like crazy without there being a «special spot» for anything like that. I hope they implement an offline option or that you can put up a private server because I want to get my moneys worth and play the game, but not how it is like now. Plus Bethesda have taken a huge dump on their fans ever since they launched the game. From the whole canvas bag thing to saying there will be no microtransactions with enhanced equipement and then doing a 180 and implementing it. Its just sad, I like Bethesda alot, just the modding community for TES and Fallout are amazing. And I totally understand why people are afraid of what is going to happen with TES6, Im starting to get worried also.
I don’t play 76 for a variety of reasons, biggest one is that enemies health lags. You shoot them, and their health goes down 3 seconds later. And, often times the health just jumps back up. The games base systems don’t function, and there’s a myriad of other issues the game brings.
You know the opening scene of Fallout 4 when the military are going through a street of a town? It may be the military arriving in Huntersville and the Sole Survivor was there before the war and left maybe to fight in Alaska or retired from the military.If the Sole Survivor was in Alaska,he may be the same soldier you play as in the Operation Anchorage DLC. After all,in the game he is called a war hero in the game.
While that is an interesting idea, the town shown in Fallout 4's intro doesn't match Huntersville at all. However, I can't deny that would be an extremely sad backstory.
I would love one of Oxhorns more in depth "morality" videos about the automation taking over jobs in pre-war W Virginia, especially as it's one of the few things we're seeing in our world. Anyone else?
I'd be interested. Personally my opinion is (to put it very, very simply) - automation is only a problem if the people "in charge" deal with the change in the wrong way...which given the current state of our world, I'd say is more than likely. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Isn't the usual problem with automation that it's usually used to replace workers, who need their jobs to support their families? In Appalachia, they replaced the leaders with bots... How bad could that be? Other than the blow to everyone's self-esteem for taking orders from robots... Wait... This is literally the opposite of the Institute... Now I'm REALLY interested.
@@arifhossain9751 It's the same,as Institute,but more sinister. We know , that you do not like been replaced by 'bots,but,do not give a (feel by yourself).
@@DuneRunnerEnterprises I was saying it was the opposite of the Institute cos the Institute only see robots as tools and would never take orders from them. And how is it more sinister? The original leaders were alive until the bombs dropped. They were simply out of a job. I guess that IS a fate worse than death in TODAY's economy...😂
Also, the inside of the digestive system is still technically part of the outside of the body (we are all donuts!), so infected water inside you is still in contact with you (assuming enough FEV can survive the digestive system's somewhat harsh environment)
Its sad, boring and empty that being an archaeologist is about the only job or role the player character can be in FO76. Aside from making oneself a suitable CAMP to live in, really the only thing to do is archaeology, craft weapons/armour with which to defend oneself against the 'natives.' And eventually launch nukes regularly once you've done enough archaeology. *Sigh.* This game could have been so much more if most the NPCs were still alive. That we could actually choose who to side with-Responders, BoS, Enclave, Free States or Raiders. With each faction except the Raiders finding their own way to unleash nukes on the Scorchbeasts.
Hey Ox! Love your Fallout coverage, too much content to catch it all. I recently found lore at a lake at the South end of the Savage Divide that explains what the Army units that became the BOS in WV. Notes and holotapes in a hidden cave. You can see it's half submurged entrance along the shore from the island in the middle of the lake. Mind the Mirelurks.
I love this because it's just so reminiscent of an obscure sci-fi short story called Uncle Joshua and the Grooglemen. That one even had radiation and people being killed in their homes. This is just from a later perspective, seeing things with more understanding.
Ox, couldn't folks be bathing in the water too, not just drinking it? That seems like a pretty elegant way to reconcile fo1 lore about FEV and skin contact with what's going on it huntersville
Its amusing to watch Oxhorn trying and failing to jump over the fences specialy now when he has the Marsupial mutation. And he need to buy Healing Factor in Enclave .
I noticed during Fallout 4 that sometimes the Jangles the Moon Monkey, and other child-orientated things like rattles and baby-bottles, baseball caps etc. are used in place of child corpses - obviously Bethesda didn't want to place in all the child bodies that would inevitably be in the post apocalypse world, so this is what they used in place of that. So with this in mind how would you interpret that scene with the gnomes and the moon-monkey being buried?
Also, go back and re-watch Oxhorn's Fallout 4 videos, keep an eye-out for those strangely placed child items. And look on in horror as how it changes the scene before you.
To me it doesn't make sense that the people of Huntersville would have gone crazy from absorbing FEV. The reason why most of the mutants you fight in the wasteland are crazy is because if someone who is genetically damaged by radiation is dipped in a vat of FEV the damage to their DNA causes the subject to morph horrifically due to the virus needing a pure DNA sample in order to provide the positive effects. The reason why there are intelligent super-mutants in the wasteland, is because those mutants originated from people that weren't damaged by radiation. That's the main reason why the super-mutant army was breaking into vaults and capturing Vault citizens. the people in the vaults had the purest DNA, because they were shielded from the radiation making them the perfect super-mutants when dipped in FEV. So why are people who haven't been exposed to a damaging amount of radiation turning into brainless super-mutants who can't control themselves and go crazy? shouldn't the super-mutants of fallout 76 be as smart as the ones in Fallout New Vegas or even smarter-all things considered?
UbinTimor especially since this seems to be the same strain as on the west coast, and the institute. And the institute strain applies as well simply due to Virgil. He’s far less mutated than most other humans from radiation, only slightly, and it mostly left his mind intact.
@@lt-colviper3570 you do realize FEV was a pre-war project. And there is direct correlation in many of the games that less mutation from radiation prior to exposure, the more likely you are to retain intelligence upon turning into a super mutant. So yeah, 76 causes an issue if the first batch of mutants were from pre war people before the bombs.
At this point, I am wondering if there is a ghoul who's decided to dedicate their entire life to finding garden gnomes and placing them in really hilarious murderous scenes all over America. I mean, if you're stuck with immortality, why not explore the world?
So I live in WV. This story mirrors what happened with the company DuPont. There's a whole movie about it starring Mark Ruffalo called Dark Waters or something close about it.
Fun fact: I believe 12th mountain division was stationed at Vail Colorado, they were trained at the mountains. I'm not sure if it was 12th mountain Division.
I usually keep my camp around here. The mutants drop enough gun powder, scrapable/sellable weapons and frequently get at least one crowned or legendary mutant there that i can keep my gear in pretty good shape when I go out scavaging.
In any other Fallout game you would have needed something like Perception 7 to spot the corpse. Going in with Perception 2 would have got you a joke line about tripping over the corpse and finding it's 'contents' by accident.
I recall seeing a video where you found out the residents of either Huntersville or some other town being experimented on with poisoned water by the government and that was why there were super mutants here in Appalachia
Shouldn't these Super Mutants be "perfect", due to the fact that they were not exposed to anything radioactive at the time? Isn't that just the reason why the Master wanted vault dwellers to be dipped in FEV? I just love retcons.
Yes and no. Yes, because that is the established lore about mutants who were created in vats of FEV. No, because this is an extension of the lore ignoring the established technique and Bethesda can _technically_ do whatever they want in that regard
I know this is a late comment but if the virus was in the water then ever time the towns folk had a bath or shower they would be exposing their skins to the virus and hence become infected, maybe that’s why the infection took so long to take hold and while they eventually just dipped people in vats of the stuff to speed up the process. Anyway love your content, helps me to spend more time playing and less time reading terminals.
At the 11:18 time mark... Sgt. ORLANDO Garrett.... there is an Orlando that was introduced in the Fallout 76 The Pitt update who is the current manager of the Whitesprings and is letting all those new Responders live in the Whitesprings. There are STRONG suspicions among fans that Orlando is secretly an Enclave agent (but is it part of the Modus version of the Enclave where Modus is keeping that Orlando's Enclave role a secret from us? Or the California oil rig Enclave where Orlando somehow traveled from there to the Whitesprings?). While more about Orlando might be revealed in the upcoming Atlantic City update (late 2023 or early 2024), could Sgt. Orlando Garrett be the same Orlando as the one currently in Whitesprings? The Orlando in Whitesprings looks to be in their mid-30's, but some people in their mid to late 40's look young for their age. If Orlando was present at Huntersville, they could be as young as 19 since an army Sargent could be that young if they have extra qualifications (and special connections help as well) and they are currently a young looking 44 years old now at the Whitesprings. It's POSSIBLE the Enclave working with West Tek secretly sent Orlando to Huntersville to replace Sgt. Bianchi (because Sgt. Jake Bianchi got removed from his position and court martialed when he start raising concerns) so the new Sarge, Orlando Garrett, takes over the operation so it goes the way the Enclave and West Tek want it to go (while giving West Tek as much power as possible so they can do what they need to do, as approved by the Enclave). Also, while Orlando at the WhiteSprings might not look threatening, there is evidence in their dialouge to suggest they have journeyed the wasteland and know how to take care of themselves and while they act very polite and super happy 99% of the time, there is a moment if you hang around them long enough where they show a lot of ANGER when they realize someone keeps messing up some of the WhiteSprings carpet with their muddy boots (the type of anger a former army sargant would show). Anyway, while many of the new Responders and other humans like Esme the cook at the WhiteSprings all love Orlando, some of the new Responders have raised concerns that while Orlando seems nice, they wonder if there are alternate reasons for why Orlando is helping them and allowing them to stay at the WhiteSprings. Then there is the SECRET owners of the WhiteSprings who employ Orlando... who Orlando refers to as "Mr.Otis"... Mr.Otis = Modus????
I've seen enough TV and movies to know that THE MOST evil, villainous, destructive things you almost fear the most are not the mutants or ghouls... .....garden gnomes......
If Gail Myers was exposed to the FEV and likely became a super mutant... I wonder if this means the super mutant Gail, Ra-Ra's friend at Crater, is the same as this individual?
It’s so weird to realize that The Master is just getting his start over on the West Coast. Unnerving to think so, too, and that nobody will know about him until decades later, and probably no one on the East Coast will know about him at all.
At this point in time, the Master is likely not even around yet. Hell, most of the Enclave at this point were still at their oil rig base off the coast of San Francisco.
If people have to be submerged in Vats of fev to become a super mutant maybe when they submerge themselves in their bathtubs that was enough but also drinking fev makes sense since when you drink water it reaches every portion of your body
Although I don't have as much time to watch your videos as I would like to, when I do... my gosh--i'm always so impressed with the way you layout your videos. You describe such menial things in such an interesting way, and its so easy to follow what you're saying with audio alone while doing other things. Your presentation is impeccable, and the way you connect the dots between stories (even across games) is incredible. You should feel proud of the content that you publish.
Yo, Oxhorn! My Friend and I spent the first month of launch hunting down the Enola Walker storyline holotapes found at Mac's Farm and adding them to the Fallout wiki. It's a 6 tape story and is worth the time to hunt them down. We erected a shrine in her honor at our CAMP. I would love for you to cover that story!
Other people have probably said this before me, but each townsperson would have been "dipped" in the FEV-infected water whenever they had a bath or shower. The FEV would absorb through the skin that way anyway. Honestly given how biology and viruses work, its likely consuming FEV will have a similar effect as dipping. Its still getting into the blood and tissues from the digestive tract. I suppose it depends whether FEV can survive being boiled, cooked and the acid from the stomach. Given what we've heard about it I'd guess its a tough little critter that could survive the stomach at least.
thanks for going into depth into the fallout 76 lore , sometimes i had no time to read terminals and missed alot of stuff there, even played through this area and didnt piece together the full story, hopeing to see more story and explorable areas in the future of the game.
This is an awesome follow up to the fallout 1 series. Brought back a ton of memories from that series. Definitely my favorite one. Please do Fallout 2!!! Oh and thanks for staying loyal to this game. Will always love it even though it has its ... flaws.
I love these lore videos! I suck at picking this stuff together, but I love the narration you provide! I just got to the Riverside Manor to walk through the Mistress of Mystery arc (been sitting on the veil since the beta!)
On an unrelated lore in 76, I found somewhat of a cult like type people trying to separate themselves from society. They planned to live off the land and soon after the bombs fell. They kept going on like normal, only noting some problems like finding food to hunt, and fresh water to drink. One guy, who's guarding at night says he hears things at night and swears he sees something fast moving through the woods. No one believed him till they had a party in their mess hall, where something broke through the window and pulled someone through it. Straight out of a horror film. I won't spoil the rest, but I'm sure some of you already know what this fast creature is.
Another fascinating lore video. Didn't read ALL the comments, so if this is a dupe, my apologies. The little building under the water tower ISN'T empty... Maybe this ties in with your next vid, gonna go watch it now and see...
I really hate how the brotherhood and the super mutants are in the game. The BoS and SMs in this are just like the BoS and SM 200 years into the future except the bos are dead. I’d rather have a faction of pre war military to rediscover than having a early bos faction.
That would require Bethesda to give a shit about established lore. Which they don't. Not even when it's lore they wrote themselves. They will retcon BOS and Super Mutants into every damn Fallout title for now on. Because brand recognition means more than having an immersive experience for gamers.
It is a spinoff with fanservice... I got no real problem with the BoS existing before this... But not this version. They could have been like "Brotherhood" only, and use US Army lore, with some early fanservice shoutouts to the Fallout 1 lore there, like "Sgt. Maxson radioed us from the East" and "We are like knights today".
@@trooperlloyd8153 i think they did gone a little bit far and on the nose with the BoS fanservice, but it seems like a minor thing that could be solved with minor edits or just a little spinoffy lore-sidestepping. :3
Thanks for creating such great lore videos on Fallout 76 Oxhorn! I find that 76 has a much more scattershot lore due to its lack of NPCs, but you do an excellent job of finding all the bits and stringing together the narrative.
My first take on Huntersvilles was it was inhabited by mutants post war but now knowing this lore I have a theory about why it's so destroyed, its possible it was shelled by the military using the tank as artillery
Love your videos. I am a huge fan of Fallout and the lore and I learn so much from your videos. You are so good at putting various clues together - it makes the story so much better! Thank you for all your time and effort.
Hey oxhorn I've been watching your videos for the better part of a year now and you've been one of the most thorough lore hunters I've seen in while. I appreciate all the work you put into your videos and for someone who's first fallout game is 76. Your videos has gotten me up to speed on a lot of fallouts lore. But there is something I wanted to point out about the garden gnomes and even some of the teddy bears. Its seems Bethesda really enjoys placing gnomes or bears in really weird places doing really strange things as if they have a will of there own. Just over the weekend I was playing and a couple of times I've seen bears playing poker in a dog house. Gnomes standing over corpses as if they murdered the person. Almost makes me wonder if maybe there is more to them then we realised. Of course I'm sure it's just Bethesda meaning around and having fun with Easter eggs and jokes. But sometimes they seem a little to deliberate or out of places in certain areas.
*Oxhorn see the dude and ignore him* *Explosion from the body and looks back* *Dude waves at oxhorn* Oxhorn: *waves back* "huh so it was trap good to know"
You still haven't told us what happened to all the dead raiders you found in one of your first Order Of Mysteries video! Looking forward to that one. Great video keep up the good work!
How!? How could Wes Tec do this!? This was a horrible sight to see and I just can't believe what the government does in the Fallout games. Please Oxhorn make another video so know more. From your biggest fan
Look folks, I get that Fallout 76 has a near empty world and is quite frankly a disgusting cash grab and a slap in the face of most Fallout fans. BUT... Oxhorn is choosing to show us that there are incredibly interesting breadcrumbs and tales told by many locations if you'd just take the time and have the interest. That what he's about. And he's freaking great at making stories fascinating. So though he could make a video about how annoyed he might be that there are no 'npc's, no one to populate your settlement, like EVERY OTHER TH-cam gaming channel. He made a video on Fallout lore, which is what he does and what most of his viewers subscribed for. So can we please just stop moaning about how bad Fallout 76 is and just enjoy the video. And this way, I can enjoy it too without having to buy the game.
These things aren't interesting though. This is stuff on par with or worse than what would be found in Aliens Colonial Marines or Doom 3. This is the bare minimum needed for storytelling, and the story they have to tell is always ended with "And then they died." Or worse yet "A magic dragon killed them and turned them into zombie slaves." It's so boring that the overwhelming majority of his audience doesn't engage with his 76 videos since there's a massive discrepancy between views and comments.
@@crazyinsane500 I agree that it isn't all that interesting. It's just variations on the same environmental stories that were in Fallout 3 and 4. But what I'm saying is that Oxhorn style of narration and storytelling makes it interesting. Even a shit story can become good depending on who tells it, or how it's told. Also why I'd much rather watch him play it than buy the game.
It's pretty annoying that the holotape with the woman and the army officer was acted quite well, but the sound effects to give any context to actions was bugged and it left it pretty wanting. Keep up the good work all the same Oxhorn!
I think the key means that person worked at Sugar Grove, I don't think they were imprisoned in SG. It looks more like the person had the key in their pocket, layed on the bed, it fell out and then they could never leave town. Because if they were the person placed in that cell in SG, why would the key be in Huntersville?

If it’s in the water. Wouldn’t that mean that when the towns folk took showers or baths that they were basically being dunked into a vat of FEV? It would explain why it took so long cause they were exposed to minor doses.
Good point totally didn't think about that
exactly! they swam in it, drank it, bathed in it, and ate food grown in or consuming it...
Dangit, I just wrote a comment about that just to see yours. I probably should start looking at the comments more.
Would they become harolds (・o・)
Was just thinking that, plus everytime they would wash their hands, wash dishes, or even their babies, they would be exposing their skin to FEV.

There is actually a super mutant in The Crater named ‘Gail’ who adopted a human girl named ‘Ra-Ra’. What if she’s Gail Meyer from Huntersville? Since they both have the same name, and it seems that Gail Meyer was turning into a super mutant, then they could be the same person.
Can some please pay more attention to this? This is an amazing theory and needs more love

Thank you for giving me a laugh! The line about the garden gnomes was great. Also the voice change for the terminal entry when the woman became a super mutant was really good. Surprised me at first, then it really helped with the feeling of what was going on. Fallout world is disturbing, and the USAA is a corrupt and disgusting place. All those poor people! West Teck, Vault Teck, Hallucigen, Enclave, and others. -shudder- What a frightening place!

Actually, the company is called West-Tek
"Was it an accident or were the townspeople guineapigs?"
When it comes to the Fallout universe corporations, accidents are actually less likely than intended human experimentation, especially when the government itself backs the corporations because the results of the experiments may have significant military applications.
I guess that after tampering with the water supply, the application of FEV would follow social customs, such as taking showers or baths. They also ingested it by food and since it's a viral nature, it could remain dormant until it reached a proper host to thrive from.

Now, that's a frightening and perplexing thought!!!
The FEV isn’t contagious like that. It can’t spread from person to person. They would have to be directly exposed to the FEV repeatedly in order for anything to happen. That’s the entire reason they had to infect the water supply rather than just infecting a couple people and letting it spread.

Hey Ox, last week I ordered about $131 amount of stuff from your store on TeeSpring, I just got my first shirt today (A black Premium T-shirt that says "I am become death, destroyer of worlds" with the large nuke explosion)
And I gotta say, it is amazing and beautiful. It's definitely worth throwing in the extra like $5 for a "premium T" it feels so soft :) I should be getting the rest of my stuff including a "It was rigged from the start" T-shirt.
A "Patrolling the Mojave makes you wish for a nuclear Winter" Hoodie (cause that has to be a hoodie, for winter Duh)
And a "The burned man walks" T-shirt, all premium, all black.
I already got a "Who are you who does not know your history" T-shirt and a "Protect the people at a minutes notice" Hoodie for Christmas.
So I just wanted to say; thank you, for everything, all the amazing content, and the amazing apparel, keep doing what you're doing Ox.
That's great to hear! Teespring has great print quality
3:52 Boy, I sure wish we could’ve seen that. Sounds like a desperate struggle for the ages
Im so happy you are making lore videos on F76. I would never have found so much lore on my own because I tend to just run through all the terminal posts etc as fast as I can since enemies have a tendency to spawn fast. At least that is how I feel it.
i usaly skiped over the lore because i know Oxhorn probbaly already coered it.
TREXSTER BLACK yes, same here. Though I would like to read all of it myself, but I get stressed out because there is just so much to read sometimes and the respawning of enemies does not take that long. Pluss sometimes you will get to a place and someone has been there before, killing all the enemies, and you have no idea how long it will take before they all respawn. Im also playing it on ps4 and I suck at using controllers to aim and shoot instead of keyboard and mouse. It also feels like even though I shoot stuff at a distance that shouldnt be able to miss, It still does 😫 One time I was standing straight infront of a super mutant and blastibg it full of shotgun shells, it hardly took any damage and ended up killing me. So I ragequit and havent played it since 😂
@@voodoobaby3256 yea, since the game is always online there can be input lag on a lot of your interactions in the game, like dealing damage and picking up items, and it also can make enemies teleport around when moving. Its super annoying, I wish I could choose to play this offline so everything would just work...
Alex VanDover yeah I know. I wish too that I could play it online because right now I havent played since desember/january. And I was pretty positive to the whole idea, even the fact that there are no human NPCs and that you have to read letters and terminals to get lore etc. But it is annoying as hell when I clear out a place and it takes too long to do so, so when Im about to read whatever I need to read the enemies have respawned. It makes me not enjoy the game and the fact that last time I stood right infront of a super mutant, emptying my shotgun in him, while he took almost no damage, but he proceeds to kill me, made me just ragequit instantly. Im not a high level, but with the amount of shotgun shells I put in him should have been enough to kill at least six mutants. And it wasn’t long before that that I was in a small village, filled with mutants that just kept on spawning in like crazy without there being a «special spot» for anything like that. I hope they implement an offline option or that you can put up a private server because I want to get my moneys worth and play the game, but not how it is like now. Plus Bethesda have taken a huge dump on their fans ever since they launched the game. From the whole canvas bag thing to saying there will be no microtransactions with enhanced equipement and then doing a 180 and implementing it. Its just sad, I like Bethesda alot, just the modding community for TES and Fallout are amazing. And I totally understand why people are afraid of what is going to happen with TES6, Im starting to get worried also.
I don’t play 76 for a variety of reasons, biggest one is that enemies health lags. You shoot them, and their health goes down 3 seconds later. And, often times the health just jumps back up. The games base systems don’t function, and there’s a myriad of other issues the game brings.
You know the opening scene of Fallout 4 when the military are going through a street of a town? It may be the military arriving in Huntersville and the Sole Survivor was there before the war and left maybe to fight in Alaska or retired from the military.If the Sole Survivor was in Alaska,he may be the same soldier you play as in the Operation Anchorage DLC. After all,in the game he is called a war hero in the game.
While that is an interesting idea, the town shown in Fallout 4's intro doesn't match Huntersville at all. However, I can't deny that would be an extremely sad backstory.
I would love one of Oxhorns more in depth "morality" videos about the automation taking over jobs in pre-war W Virginia, especially as it's one of the few things we're seeing in our world.
Anyone else?
It's a good idea. I'm conflicted on the issue too. It will have to wait until I cover Miner Miracles, Hornwright, and AMS.
I'd be interested. Personally my opinion is (to put it very, very simply) - automation is only a problem if the people "in charge" deal with the change in the wrong way...which given the current state of our world, I'd say is more than likely. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Isn't the usual problem with automation that it's usually used to replace workers, who need their jobs to support their families? In Appalachia, they replaced the leaders with bots...
How bad could that be? Other than the blow to everyone's self-esteem for taking orders from robots...
Wait...
This is literally the opposite of the Institute...
Now I'm REALLY interested.
@@arifhossain9751
It's the same,as Institute,but more sinister.
We know , that you do not like been replaced by 'bots,but,do not give a (feel by yourself).
@@DuneRunnerEnterprises
I was saying it was the opposite of the Institute cos the Institute only see robots as tools and would never take orders from them.
And how is it more sinister? The original leaders were alive until the bombs dropped. They were simply out of a job.
I guess that IS a fate worse than death in TODAY's economy...😂
Ox should name his fallout 76 streams to:scorched and smoke rings
Showing or bathing in contaminated water would likely be enough to infect someone with FEV. Or drinking enough contaminated water would do the job to
nice touch with voice over on the terminal entry
Also, the inside of the digestive system is still technically part of the outside of the body (we are all donuts!), so infected water inside you is still in contact with you (assuming enough FEV can survive the digestive system's somewhat harsh environment)
The extra pointing out that the gnomes are evil on the map made me laugh.
the true culprit that killed every surviving human the GNOMES, they might have even launched the nukes
Gnomes started the resource wars
Its sad, boring and empty that being an archaeologist is about the only job or role the player character can be in FO76. Aside from making oneself a suitable CAMP to live in, really the only thing to do is archaeology, craft weapons/armour with which to defend oneself against the 'natives.' And eventually launch nukes regularly once you've done enough archaeology.
*Sigh.* This game could have been so much more if most the NPCs were still alive. That we could actually choose who to side with-Responders, BoS, Enclave, Free States or Raiders. With each faction except the Raiders finding their own way to unleash nukes on the Scorchbeasts.
Given the backstory of Fallout, it might actually be true that eldritch horrors used gnomes as bodies to influence people to launch.
I knew keemstar would spread his gnomeness
@@KiroJuni hahaha
I want some dedicated videos about the scorched lore, mole miners, and other formerly human enemies!
lol . the enclave created the schorched.
"Its hard to believe these things were once humans!"
*stares in garden gnome*
Hey Ox!
Love your Fallout coverage, too much content to catch it all.
I recently found lore at a lake at the South end of the Savage Divide that explains what the Army units that became the BOS in WV. Notes and holotapes in a hidden cave. You can see it's half submurged entrance along the shore from the island in the middle of the lake.
Mind the Mirelurks.
Is it just me or is his voice really relaxing and calm and I like how he does the videos
Would love to have a video on the scorched
It is only you /sarcasm
I love this because it's just so reminiscent of an obscure sci-fi short story called Uncle Joshua and the Grooglemen. That one even had radiation and people being killed in their homes. This is just from a later perspective, seeing things with more understanding.
Ox, couldn't folks be bathing in the water too, not just drinking it? That seems like a pretty elegant way to reconcile fo1 lore about FEV and skin contact with what's going on it huntersville
Its amusing to watch Oxhorn trying and failing to jump over the fences specialy now when he has the Marsupial mutation. And he need to buy Healing Factor in Enclave .
I noticed during Fallout 4 that sometimes the Jangles the Moon Monkey, and other child-orientated things like rattles and baby-bottles, baseball caps etc. are used in place of child corpses - obviously Bethesda didn't want to place in all the child bodies that would inevitably be in the post apocalypse world, so this is what they used in place of that. So with this in mind how would you interpret that scene with the gnomes and the moon-monkey being buried?
Also, go back and re-watch Oxhorn's Fallout 4 videos, keep an eye-out for those strangely placed child items. And look on in horror as how it changes the scene before you.
To me it doesn't make sense that the people of Huntersville would have gone crazy from absorbing FEV. The reason why most of the mutants you fight in the wasteland are crazy is because if someone who is genetically damaged by radiation is dipped in a vat of FEV the damage to their DNA causes the subject to morph horrifically due to the virus needing a pure DNA sample in order to provide the positive effects.
The reason why there are intelligent super-mutants in the wasteland, is because those mutants originated from people that weren't damaged by radiation. That's the main reason why the super-mutant army was breaking into vaults and capturing Vault citizens. the people in the vaults had the purest DNA, because they were shielded from the radiation making them the perfect super-mutants when dipped in FEV.
So why are people who haven't been exposed to a damaging amount of radiation turning into brainless super-mutants who can't control themselves and go crazy? shouldn't the super-mutants of fallout 76 be as smart as the ones in Fallout New Vegas or even smarter-all things considered?
UbinTimor especially since this seems to be the same strain as on the west coast, and the institute. And the institute strain applies as well simply due to Virgil. He’s far less mutated than most other humans from radiation, only slightly, and it mostly left his mind intact.
Hi there i’m pretty sure at that time, the fev strain was still in like the early stages
@@lt-colviper3570 you do realize FEV was a pre-war project. And there is direct correlation in many of the games that less mutation from radiation prior to exposure, the more likely you are to retain intelligence upon turning into a super mutant. So yeah, 76 causes an issue if the first batch of mutants were from pre war people before the bombs.
fireblast133 yeah bro i’m on your side
When you lower your voice I got chills as the weight of the sad situation set in
5:34 I think it is supposed to represent the brotherhood burying their dead and jangles is in a suit which probably represents power armour
At this point, I am wondering if there is a ghoul who's decided to dedicate their entire life to finding garden gnomes and placing them in really hilarious murderous scenes all over America.
I mean, if you're stuck with immortality, why not explore the world?
So I live in WV. This story mirrors what happened with the company DuPont. There's a whole movie about it starring Mark Ruffalo called Dark Waters or something close about it.
The voice change there while reading the last entry on the terminal was great! 😄
Fun fact: I believe 12th mountain division was stationed at Vail Colorado, they were trained at the mountains. I'm not sure if it was 12th mountain Division.
I usually keep my camp around here. The mutants drop enough gun powder, scrapable/sellable weapons and frequently get at least one crowned or legendary mutant there that i can keep my gear in pretty good shape when I go out scavaging.
In any other Fallout game you would have needed something like Perception 7 to spot the corpse.
Going in with Perception 2 would have got you a joke line about tripping over the corpse and finding it's 'contents' by accident.
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." - Voltaire
The assassin that you were talking about was probably Thomas, the guy who was at the Lab and that never returned to the town
I loved the pitch shift for the person turning into a super mutant.
I recall seeing a video where you found out the residents of either Huntersville or some other town being experimented on with poisoned water by the government and that was why there were super mutants here in Appalachia
"We see a playground and a garden"
OH NO THERE WERE CHILDREN IN THAT TOWN!!
That super mutant voice was a really cool touch to the narration
Shouldn't these Super Mutants be "perfect", due to the fact that they were not exposed to anything radioactive at the time? Isn't that just the reason why the Master wanted vault dwellers to be dipped in FEV? I just love retcons.
Yes and no.
Yes, because that is the established lore about mutants who were created in vats of FEV.
No, because this is an extension of the lore ignoring the established technique and Bethesda can _technically_ do whatever they want in that regard
These murderous gnomes... i love to see that kind of detail in fallout games, like the teddy bears from Fallout 4
I know this is a late comment but if the virus was in the water then ever time the towns folk had a bath or shower they would be exposing their skins to the virus and hence become infected, maybe that’s why the infection took so long to take hold and while they eventually just dipped people in vats of the stuff to speed up the process. Anyway love your content, helps me to spend more time playing and less time reading terminals.
At the 11:18 time mark... Sgt. ORLANDO Garrett.... there is an Orlando that was introduced in the Fallout 76 The Pitt update who is the current manager of the Whitesprings and is letting all those new Responders live in the Whitesprings. There are STRONG suspicions among fans that Orlando is secretly an Enclave agent (but is it part of the Modus version of the Enclave where Modus is keeping that Orlando's Enclave role a secret from us? Or the California oil rig Enclave where Orlando somehow traveled from there to the Whitesprings?). While more about Orlando might be revealed in the upcoming Atlantic City update (late 2023 or early 2024), could Sgt. Orlando Garrett be the same Orlando as the one currently in Whitesprings?
The Orlando in Whitesprings looks to be in their mid-30's, but some people in their mid to late 40's look young for their age. If Orlando was present at Huntersville, they could be as young as 19 since an army Sargent could be that young if they have extra qualifications (and special connections help as well) and they are currently a young looking 44 years old now at the Whitesprings.
It's POSSIBLE the Enclave working with West Tek secretly sent Orlando to Huntersville to replace Sgt. Bianchi (because Sgt. Jake Bianchi got removed from his position and court martialed when he start raising concerns) so the new Sarge, Orlando Garrett, takes over the operation so it goes the way the Enclave and West Tek want it to go (while giving West Tek as much power as possible so they can do what they need to do, as approved by the Enclave). Also, while Orlando at the WhiteSprings might not look threatening, there is evidence in their dialouge to suggest they have journeyed the wasteland and know how to take care of themselves and while they act very polite and super happy 99% of the time, there is a moment if you hang around them long enough where they show a lot of ANGER when they realize someone keeps messing up some of the WhiteSprings carpet with their muddy boots (the type of anger a former army sargant would show). Anyway, while many of the new Responders and other humans like Esme the cook at the WhiteSprings all love Orlando, some of the new Responders have raised concerns that while Orlando seems nice, they wonder if there are alternate reasons for why Orlando is helping them and allowing them to stay at the WhiteSprings. Then there is the SECRET owners of the WhiteSprings who employ Orlando... who Orlando refers to as "Mr.Otis"... Mr.Otis = Modus????
I've seen enough TV and movies to know that THE MOST evil, villainous, destructive things you almost fear the most are not the mutants or ghouls...
.....garden gnomes......
"oh these murderous garden gnomes...."
This is the tshirt I am waiting for....
MrRadFantastic *THIS IS KILLER KEEMSTAR, AND LET’S GET RIIIIIGHT INTO THE NEWS!*
Yes, I know, this meme is dead.
even the master would never target children or infants he may be a monster but he's not that big of a monster.
I think vault tecs FEV is a reference to the CIAs MK Ultra.
If Gail Myers was exposed to the FEV and likely became a super mutant... I wonder if this means the super mutant Gail, Ra-Ra's friend at Crater, is the same as this individual?
There's no concrete evidence, but it makes the most sense imo.
A huge corporate entity poisoned the water with Fev
Oxhorn: meh
Garden gnomes burying jangles the moon monkey
Oxhorn: now there's some good content
It’s so weird to realize that The Master is just getting his start over on the West Coast. Unnerving to think so, too, and that nobody will know about him until decades later, and probably no one on the East Coast will know about him at all.
At this point in time, the Master is likely not even around yet. Hell, most of the Enclave at this point were still at their oil rig base off the coast of San Francisco.
I loved the video, Im born and raised in Huntersville WV so its always cool to see things like this in the game!
Quarantine this man he might be infected
Nah, Marlinton, but close enough 😂
These videos are so relaxing and entertaining. They are like small movies
Same. I literally listen to his videos at night to help me fall asleep. He's got that Morgan freeman level of voice.
@@dr.rockso2703 definitely
If people have to be submerged in Vats of fev to become a super mutant maybe when they submerge themselves in their bathtubs that was enough but also drinking fev makes sense since when you drink water it reaches every portion of your body
Although I don't have as much time to watch your videos as I would like to, when I do... my gosh--i'm always so impressed with the way you layout your videos. You describe such menial things in such an interesting way, and its so easy to follow what you're saying with audio alone while doing other things. Your presentation is impeccable, and the way you connect the dots between stories (even across games) is incredible. You should feel proud of the content that you publish.
Yo, Oxhorn! My Friend and I spent the first month of launch hunting down the Enola Walker storyline holotapes found at Mac's Farm and adding them to the Fallout wiki. It's a 6 tape story and is worth the time to hunt them down. We erected a shrine in her honor at our CAMP. I would love for you to cover that story!
Other people have probably said this before me, but each townsperson would have been "dipped" in the FEV-infected water whenever they had a bath or shower. The FEV would absorb through the skin that way anyway.
Honestly given how biology and viruses work, its likely consuming FEV will have a similar effect as dipping. Its still getting into the blood and tissues from the digestive tract. I suppose it depends whether FEV can survive being boiled, cooked and the acid from the stomach. Given what we've heard about it I'd guess its a tough little critter that could survive the stomach at least.
I think the greatest enemy of humanity in fallout is the gnomes.
thanks for going into depth into the fallout 76 lore , sometimes i had no time to read terminals and missed alot of stuff there, even played through this area and didnt piece together the full story, hopeing to see more story and explorable areas in the future of the game.
The voice distortion was awesome! It made me check my phone to make sure I was watching an oxhorn video!
This is an awesome follow up to the fallout 1 series. Brought back a ton of memories from that series. Definitely my favorite one. Please do Fallout 2!!! Oh and thanks for staying loyal to this game. Will always love it even though it has its ... flaws.
theres a cave where Tagerty and her squad were pre bombs
The radio part got me, every time there’s a radio 😂. Quite true Ox, Tube of the You is quite a mess
5:48 YOU'VE BEEN GNOOOMED
Happy New Year Oxhorn! Thank you for all that you do!
I love these lore videos! I suck at picking this stuff together, but I love the narration you provide! I just got to the Riverside Manor to walk through the Mistress of Mystery arc (been sitting on the veil since the beta!)
That voice over on the terminal read!! Applause Sir, Applause! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Very Creepy!
Taggerty: This will be the toughest fight of our lives
Scorched and Scorchbeast: Doubt
My first thought upon seeing the gnomes:
"Hier komme die Sonne!"
5:50 Texture glitch turn wall transparent.. Ox "..but it allows us to more easily see the safe in ti..."
Not that's finding the silver lining
On an unrelated lore in 76, I found somewhat of a cult like type people trying to separate themselves from society. They planned to live off the land and soon after the bombs fell. They kept going on like normal, only noting some problems like finding food to hunt, and fresh water to drink.
One guy, who's guarding at night says he hears things at night and swears he sees something fast moving through the woods. No one believed him till they had a party in their mess hall, where something broke through the window and pulled someone through it. Straight out of a horror film. I won't spoil the rest, but I'm sure some of you already know what this fast creature is.
"These murderous garden gnomes..."
Another fascinating lore video. Didn't read ALL the comments, so if this is a dupe, my apologies. The little building under the water tower ISN'T empty... Maybe this ties in with your next vid, gonna go watch it now and see...
I really hate how the brotherhood and the super mutants are in the game. The BoS and SMs in this are just like the BoS and SM 200 years into the future except the bos are dead. I’d rather have a faction of pre war military to rediscover than having a early bos faction.
That would require Bethesda to give a shit about established lore. Which they don't. Not even when it's lore they wrote themselves. They will retcon BOS and Super Mutants into every damn Fallout title for now on. Because brand recognition means more than having an immersive experience for gamers.
It is a spinoff with fanservice... I got no real problem with the BoS existing before this... But not this version. They could have been like "Brotherhood" only, and use US Army lore, with some early fanservice shoutouts to the Fallout 1 lore there, like "Sgt. Maxson radioed us from the East" and "We are like knights today".
Read the lore. It is explained. Not Bethesda's fault that you choose to be ignorant about the lore you say you care about.
@@trooperlloyd8153 i think they did gone a little bit far and on the nose with the BoS fanservice, but it seems like a minor thing that could be solved with minor edits or just a little spinoffy lore-sidestepping. :3
Oh your gonna have a heart attack when you realise BoS is pre war military
I just realized why there was no super human behemoth (yet) in this game. None of them are old enough to get that large.
Could the Gail from the terminal be the same Gail that is at Crater?
Thanks for creating such great lore videos on Fallout 76 Oxhorn! I find that 76 has a much more scattershot lore due to its lack of NPCs, but you do an excellent job of finding all the bits and stringing together the narrative.
I half expected the "eulogy jones" song to play when you said "eulogy".
My first take on Huntersvilles was it was inhabited by mutants post war but now knowing this lore I have a theory about why it's so destroyed, its possible it was shelled by the military using the tank as artillery
I also found my first legendary explosive shotgun at huntersville
Boy.. The FEV sure gets around, huh..
Great work on the transforming woman's voice Ox.
Leave it to Oxhorn to make me feel sad for a fictional town I have trapsed through dozens of times while playing this game.
Love your videos. I will still play Fallout 76 as soon as I can because it looks so much fun.
Love your videos. I am a huge fan of Fallout and the lore and I learn so much from your videos. You are so good at putting various clues together - it makes the story so much better! Thank you for all your time and effort.
Hey oxhorn I've been watching your videos for the better part of a year now and you've been one of the most thorough lore hunters I've seen in while. I appreciate all the work you put into your videos and for someone who's first fallout game is 76. Your videos has gotten me up to speed on a lot of fallouts lore. But there is something I wanted to point out about the garden gnomes and even some of the teddy bears. Its seems Bethesda really enjoys placing gnomes or bears in really weird places doing really strange things as if they have a will of there own. Just over the weekend I was playing and a couple of times I've seen bears playing poker in a dog house. Gnomes standing over corpses as if they murdered the person. Almost makes me wonder if maybe there is more to them then we realised. Of course I'm sure it's just Bethesda meaning around and having fun with Easter eggs and jokes. But sometimes they seem a little to deliberate or out of places in certain areas.
Oxhorn, you missed the power armor station with power armor behind the workshop
*Oxhorn see the dude and ignore him*
*Explosion from the body and looks back*
*Dude waves at oxhorn*
Oxhorn: *waves back* "huh so it was trap good to know"
You still haven't told us what happened to all the dead raiders you found in one of your first Order Of Mysteries video! Looking forward to that one. Great video keep up the good work!
How!? How could Wes Tec do this!? This was a horrible sight to see and I just can't believe what the government does in the Fallout games. Please Oxhorn make another video so know more.
From your biggest fan
Look folks, I get that Fallout 76 has a near empty world and is quite frankly a disgusting cash grab and a slap in the face of most Fallout fans. BUT...
Oxhorn is choosing to show us that there are incredibly interesting breadcrumbs and tales told by many locations if you'd just take the time and have the interest.
That what he's about.
And he's freaking great at making stories fascinating.
So though he could make a video about how annoyed he might be that there are no 'npc's, no one to populate your settlement, like EVERY OTHER TH-cam gaming channel.
He made a video on Fallout lore, which is what he does and what most of his viewers subscribed for.
So can we please just stop moaning about how bad Fallout 76 is and just enjoy the video.
And this way, I can enjoy it too without having to buy the game.
These things aren't interesting though. This is stuff on par with or worse than what would be found in Aliens Colonial Marines or Doom 3. This is the bare minimum needed for storytelling, and the story they have to tell is always ended with "And then they died." Or worse yet "A magic dragon killed them and turned them into zombie slaves." It's so boring that the overwhelming majority of his audience doesn't engage with his 76 videos since there's a massive discrepancy between views and comments.
@@crazyinsane500 I agree that it isn't all that interesting. It's just variations on the same environmental stories that were in Fallout 3 and 4. But what I'm saying is that Oxhorn style of narration and storytelling makes it interesting.
Even a shit story can become good depending on who tells it, or how it's told.
Also why I'd much rather watch him play it than buy the game.
This quest must be bugged. I never had a skill check and there was no booby trap on the body so idk but looks like this would've made it cooler
It's pretty annoying that the holotape with the woman and the army officer was acted quite well, but the sound effects to give any context to actions was bugged and it left it pretty wanting.
Keep up the good work all the same Oxhorn!
I think that may have been an intentional glitch to remove a sound clip that was TOO real in the wake of so much RL media about cops shooting people
I think the key means that person worked at Sugar Grove, I don't think they were imprisoned in SG. It looks more like the person had the key in their pocket, layed on the bed, it fell out and then they could never leave town. Because if they were the person placed in that cell in SG, why would the key be in Huntersville?
