Depends. Whisk(e)y in the dark would age sort of well before becoming ripe with tanids while whiskey in a well light area would be more iodine. Hence why I grab a bottle from the back of a shelf then up front exposed to the most light.
I mean the flavor would honestly get worse unless it sat at the same temperature and low lighting during that 200+ year period... It probably tastes like shit.
Man I remember when I first got this game back in 2008, as soon as I got out of the Vault for the first time I spent hours trying to find my way to the Mall/Capitol Building and White House. Then I spent another few hours getting murdered left and right since I was very low level. Good times. I just found your channel recently, and I've been spam watching your videos - In my opinion, it's the best Fallout content on TH-cam. Cheers!
Autosaves are nice. There are some games that do this mechanic. Like assault rifle can be repaired with the same thing but not the unique version. But he unique version can be repaired with the basic. I belive there are mods for this.
@@ohf3594 yeah. Just be careful, and 10 minute or whatever autosaves will help prevent you from going through an hour or more of gameplay since your last save. I've dome it a few times way back.
That right there was my first experience of fallout. Horrible bugs, all manner of animation issues, crashing. Made me hate it. Only became a Fallout fan last year when another youtuber convinced me to play New Vegas. Now I love the series. Haven't got back to 3 yet, but I'm finally ready to give it another chance.
As an explanation for the scaffolding next to giant hole in the dome, I had assumed it was there pre-war to fix a minor issue- a crack or some other tiny structural flaw. Years later (or perhaps caused by the nuclear detonations) that flaw, being the weakest point in the dome, is the starting point of the domes collapse.
I figured that maybe thats how the behemoth got in. That thing couldnt fit through any of the doors, and the scaffolding doesmt have ladders, but to a behemoth, could be stairs.
TheKowHunter the location is but the actual building is not, irl Arlington house is a huge greek revival mansion that belonged to Robert E Lee before the civil war it's one of the highlights of the cemetery but in this game it's just a generic wasteland house because they couldn't be bothered to actually model it its pathetic, fords theater isnt even mentioned which is downright baffling since its Bethesdas own established lore that the people of the capital wasteland worship Lincoln as a deity
Ox really should've waited to do the Capitol Building until he did Broken Steel. There's a lot of lore with the location that doesn't show up until that DLC is started. Such as the Super Mutants are the ones occupying the building but Talon Company has been hired (by a mystery benefactor) to clear the Capital of the Super Mutants.
+the shakey camera channel We'll likely never know. Though I don't think the Enclave makes much sense, they have way more numbers and way better equipment then Talon Company does. So if the Enclave wanted the Super Mutants out couldn't they just do it themselves and do a much better job of it? Anyways, personally I think it's likely the same mystery person who hired Reilly's Rangers to geo-map the city.
Yeah, my first play through was short cause I had never played another other fallout and didn't know about the rest of the wasteland. and then there was the hard ending after the Water of Life mission. Then all the DLCS got their own play through. Good times :D
I felt the same way with New Vegas. The DLC's especially are the best I've ever played in any game(even beyond the Fallout series). The imagery in New Vegas with the neon signs and the whole cowboy feel behind it I really got behind.
I arrived at the capitol building after the arrival of the Enclave and they actually have a vertibird, Tesla X-01 power armor or Tesla advanced power armor and a deathclaw under their control
@@that1guywhostillplaysbf491 No. First of all, X-01 isn't the exact same thing as Advanced Power Armor Mk. 1, rather it's an experimental version created by post-war Enclave affiliates in the Boston area. That's what the X stands for, Experimental. Furthermore, the only Enclave armors to appear in Fallout 3 are Advanced Power Armor Mk. 2 and its Tesla variant, as well as Enclave Duraframe Hellfire Power Armor. If you encountered "X-01" or Advanced Power Armor Mk. 1 in Fallout 3 then you are either using mod that adds it or youre mistaking it for a different armor.
[Intelligence 5]: HITLER! How are you still alive! Why are you at the Capitol Building! Are you leading the Enclave? What the Hell is going on around here!?
I can't think of anyone that comes anywhere close to the type of work and commitment he puts into Fallout lore. Amazing work Ox.. I admire the detail you put into ALL YOUR videos. Thank you for what you do. Bethesda did right by inviting you to the Greenbrier event. You're the lore king!
When I first saw the ruined Capital Building, I immediately got goosebumps. I felt literal Awe and sorrow, which surprised me because when I first saw it in game I didn't know dick about the Capital even though I was 13. I didn't learn much about our history in school because the school's curriculum to my disappointment was more concerned about getting us through history as quickly as possible and teaching about WW1 and WW2 through to the start of the Cold War. Most of which was also rushed. I had to do my own research on my own at school in the Library on the computer since maybe 2% of the books were actually relating to history. Text books didn't tell us shit.
Reading and doing your own research is far better as you can do it at your own pace; and also read the point the point of view of all the sides involved.
Here in the third world we only have one page for ww2 no ww1 because my country was in the shit in 1914 to 1921 and the cold war is completely mising god i hate my country educational system
That is a well known bug in the game. Killing random turrets and sentry bots (mostly ones affiliated to Talon Company) will give you negative karma. Even the Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch couldn't get rid of it.
@@stefanstoyanov7460 this is also a thing with the outcast robots I think the outcasts are technically evil and you lose karma for killing the paladin level ones and their robots
@@shidakanacult2509 I never shot at the Outcasts but I believe you, this game is a buggy mess. Anyone who tries to prove otherwise hadn't encountered Enclave troops right outside vault 101 at level one, or fought a headless ghoul reaver who refuses to die despite being on zero hp and soaking thousands of bullets.
Hey man, I had it crash. before on my newer gaming PC. I fixed it by downloading nexus mod manager and adding a game fix mod :) google that solution and if that doesn't work reply and I can help once I get off work tonight
It's probably, because Betheasda was being lazy. But lore friendly approach, would be that, in the years before bombs fell, the Capital Building was reinforced with concrete, and steel, just in case the worst were to happen. But it's baseless, and just covering laziness from Bethesda.
Well, sometimes the weirdest things survive disasters. Some of the delicate things in the Titanic, for instance. Or such things as tornadoes destroying houses and not touching a nearby baby carriage with a baby inside.
On note of that scaffolding in the dome, I recall hearing a probable explanation of that during my high school trip to DC. My memory isn't the best, but, as I recall, the dome might need regular work done on it. During our tour, there was, indeed, scaffolding in the dome for this reason. Perhaps this is why we see them here?
Hey Ox, just wanted to say I'm a huge fan and that I love all your content. I always look forward to watching your video for the day after work. You're probably not going to see this, but thank you for all the great videos and months and months of entertainment.
There was one beautiful piece of artwork in the dome. It was the Apotheosis of Washington. Painted by Constantino Brumidi in 1865, the Apotheosis of Washington in the eye of the U.S. Capitol Building's Rotunda depicts George Washington rising to the heavens in glory, flanked by female figures representing Liberty and Victory/Fame and surrounded by six groups of figures. The fresco is suspended 180 feet above the rotunda floor and covers an area of 4,664 square feet. Although the dome in Fallout 3 is damaged the fresco is still there.
Funny thing about the burning of the capitol is that nearly EVERYONE thought it was going WAY too far and the action was denounced by the wider global community, INCLUDING a vast majority of the British people.
My favorite thing to do that wasn’t quest related was to grab Dogmeat and Charon or some other early/mid game companion and assault the mall and capital building. Loved running through the trenches before heavy and energy weapons were abundant. Couldn’t get tired of “taking it back” for the brotherhood since I always imagined that shortly after we cleared it out, the lore of 3 would be that the brotherhood took back their bunkers on the mall and maybe established a base in the capital building. Absolutely loved everything about this entire adventure. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I do Ox 👍
There was a loss of Karma in the Collum room when Ox was fighting the Talons, Mutants and the sentry bot. Looked like it happened when he killed the sentry bot
Any time I need details on my favorite game series, I turn to my favorite fallout series master. Lol I really mean it boss. No other person gives the type of detail that you obviously an definitely bring but. beyond that it's the way you deliver the information. It's like I'm there enjoying these locations all over again. I've never knew have of what I tend to find out after watching one of yr videos. Now I watch before or mostly while I'm exploring a particular location. There's truly no one better at telling the lore of fallout then you Ox... Thank you for all the hard work you put into informing us fellow fallout lovers.
to anyone who's interested - the name comes from the northern British town - in old english it means Cocc (Rooster) Stream. it was abbreviated to Co'burn. there you go, learn something new every day.
I'll admit, when I found the Capital I didn't realise it WAS the Capital. I entered through a different way to the mall and only saw Talon Co and Muties so I didn't think much on it. Also My boyfriend just shared the song list of F76, so happy Mr Sandman will be included on the radio. Great vid as always Ox.
I'd rather they stop using that ancient mess code they call a game engine and either use an engine from one of their other studios or make a whole new engine.
Kody Stewart But they didn't shut it down. They didn't have the rights to the voices in the game anymore. The modders should have asked the actors instead. But the modders still decided to stop.
I found the Turret Control computer before finding the Behemoth. So I activated the turrets and let the turrets wipe out the Talon merc and the Behemoth. Great thing about that room - you can fire into the room but the Behemoth can't attack you.
I don't remember the misadventures from the game, but as a young teenager, I lived just 6 blocks from that building. I would drink some beer in the bushes on the grounds with my buddies and go inside to explore. we ended up in places we shouldn't have been in and actually got kicked out a few times. Security actually got to know us by name. MAN! those were good times!
I recall him mentioning he may cover it after he has covered Fallout 76 since it's currently more relevant. I agree though, I would love to see him do Fallout 2.
I love Fallout 3. It was the first Fallout I ever played, and it made quite the impression. Although, a few improvement ideas: - Settlement building - Weapon Mods/Armor Mods - More Weapons (Like pipe gun, and melee weapons)
One of the best reasons to do a stealth/sniper build in this game is to watch the battle between Talon and the super mutants on the stairs of the Capitol. The winner seems to vary, too.
You know as soon as I started watching ox horn I started hearing his voice in my head while playing fallout then I start viscously searching for lore we all have a little bit of oxhorn in us
Just stumbled upon your videos due to some raw curiosity about the Fallout world's lore and locations. Really loving your stuff! You definitely got a sub from me! Keep up the great content, you have a fantastic voice for this kind of video.
1. Go somewhere in a Fallout Game 2. Search through the building thoroughly 3. Find Oxhorn video to make sure you didn't miss anything 4. Woah. How did I miss that?
Always loved this portion of the game, I was born in Takoma Park and served in the Navy at Bethesda Naval Hospital during Desert Storm, So seeing all of this is bringing back Memories. My favorite fallout by far. PS, Companions? I'm sure you understand why I never have any, as I understand why you do for content lol.
One thing I've often wondered about fallout is the fact you can find bottlecaps in pre-war places that haven't been explored before (not the case in this video, but some you've done have been good examples). I mean yeah I guess you would expect to find bottlecaps in garbage and stuff, but I've seen you find them in weird unusual places like shop tills. Its just something I've wondered about occasionally.
Oxhorn, I love how you are teaching US History along with Fallout lore. You would make a great teacher, sir. My kids would be riveted! You deserve the recognition you receive.
That was so awesome. I love it. I just got fallout 4 about 3 weeks ago. And I stumbled on this channel on how to make an efficient settlement. I totally subscribed, dude. I always knew fallout was a good game, I didn’t know it was such a great, deep, layered game with back stories and such. Thanks for making these videos. They give me a better understanding of the fallout lore. Will keep on tuning in for tips and learning of the backstories. Once again, great work.
Could you do a Fallout Lore video on the Wilson Atomatoys company in Fallout 4? You only did a brief overview of it in your Toymaker video but never did a full lore video on it. Please?
Hey Oxhorn, I can't remember if it was the Capitol Building or the White House, but if you no-clip to the crater where a bomb hit, there's a glowing one there.
It's crazy how people travel all from around the world to see DC. I live a half hour away and have even worked in the DC METRO, and I can say it's nothing special. Just alot of traffic, people walking around with their air pods in, and overpriced everything
I mean you could say the same about any landmark in any country if you live there it will be seen as just something common for you not something special
Every time I have arrived at the Capitol, I've had to fight my way through both Talon Company and Mutants at the entrance, and then a lot more mutants once I started up the steps. Quiet day for Ox, I guess. ;p I always enjoy the run through the Capitol Building.
I gotta say, the whiskey in the Fallout universe must be really good, since it's been aged 200+ years.
Depends. Whisk(e)y in the dark would age sort of well before becoming ripe with tanids while whiskey in a well light area would be more iodine. Hence why I grab a bottle from the back of a shelf then up front exposed to the most light.
Isn't aging in the barrel what matters more than aging in the bottle?
Whiskey doesn't not age in bottles- typically.
With the sweet taste of radiation
I mean the flavor would honestly get worse unless it sat at the same temperature and low lighting during that 200+ year period... It probably tastes like shit.

It is the best Fallout content in TH-cam.
Amen to that
Given the state of pre-war America, the fact that Congress is littered with whiskey doesn't surprise me.
😂😂😂
I bet if you raided the Capital Building in real life. You will find bottles of liquor in every wall, disk, properly even in the floor borders.

10/10 physics glitch right there. Timestamped for everyone's viewing pleasure.
It is caused by the body trying to ragdoll settle and parts of the body clipping together. Same issue as bodies getting stuck embedded in doors.

There's no glitches in Fallout. Only features.
Bethesda at its best.

The Encrave
As an explanation for the scaffolding next to giant hole in the dome, I had assumed it was there pre-war to fix a minor issue- a crack or some other tiny structural flaw. Years later (or perhaps caused by the nuclear detonations) that flaw, being the weakest point in the dome, is the starting point of the domes collapse.

Kody Stewart that‘s what i think it just kinda fell in and started doin things that mutants do.
The Enclave might have done it
this is very plausible, the last time i had been to D.C. i went on a tour in the Capitol building and they had lots of scaffolding up due to repairs.
huh
It's a real shame that the Supreme Court building isn't in game. The interior is beautiful.
@TheKowHunter well, the White House is kinda in the game... just completely destroyed.
Doesn’t it make sense that China would bomb the White House???
Bethesda was just too lazy to make them, same reason Arlington house and fords theater weren't in the game
TheKowHunter the location is but the actual building is not, irl Arlington house is a huge greek revival mansion that belonged to Robert E Lee before the civil war it's one of the highlights of the cemetery but in this game it's just a generic wasteland house because they couldn't be bothered to actually model it its pathetic, fords theater isnt even mentioned which is downright baffling since its Bethesdas own established lore that the people of the capital wasteland worship Lincoln as a deity

It was this imagery which drew me to Fallout 3. When I first got it between the original game and all the DLCs I dumped close to 1200 hours into it.

"Aside from the beauty of its design and the corpses we can loot..."

Now I watch before or mostly while I'm exploring a particular location. There's truly no one better at telling the lore of fallout then you Ox... Thank you for all the hard work you put into informing us fellow fallout lovers.
"Sir Alexander Cockburn" Well that's an unfortunate name if I've ever heard one
*Most surnames are derived from occupations.
"So what do you do, Alexander?"
"I burn cocks."
It should be pronounced Coburn
Just wait til they figure out what William Shatner's ancestors did for a living.
to anyone who's interested - the name comes from the northern British town - in old english it means Cocc (Rooster) Stream. it was abbreviated to Co'burn. there you go, learn something new every day.
@Blaydon - it means that over time it's been both - English and Scottish.
Oh no... What have you done.
Whenever I’m stressed out I just watch your videos. Your voice is so relaxing lol
Nuclear anomalies and mirrors, that explains the flying corpses and floating laser rifle
I'll admit, when I found the Capital I didn't realise it WAS the Capital. I entered through a different way to the mall and only saw Talon Co and Muties so I didn't think much on it. Also My boyfriend just shared the song list of F76, so happy Mr Sandman will be included on the radio.
Great vid as always Ox.
we all know what to expect of the comments after January 6th, 2021.
Oxhorn: Gives actual, factual information about our nation's past history.
Me: He He Cockburn.
"This place sucks!"
"Clovers not having a good time, apparently!"
Oxhorn, mate, when does she ever?
I wish Bethesda remastered fallout 3 with the fallout 4 engine instead of making fallout 76
Or at least gave support to the modders doing it instead of shutting it down.
A team of devs are remaking NV in Fallout 4s engine, it's impressive so far.
I'd rather they stop using that ancient mess code they call a game engine and either use an engine from one of their other studios or make a whole new engine.
4s engine? Lol you mean skyrims engine. 4 looks like shit.
Kody Stewart But they didn't shut it down. They didn't have the rights to the voices in the game anymore. The modders should have asked the actors instead. But the modders still decided to stop.
I gotta say I love coming back and re watching these
31:25 truly the fallout 3 experience
I found the Turret Control computer before finding the Behemoth. So I activated the turrets and let the turrets wipe out the Talon merc and the Behemoth. Great thing about that room - you can fire into the room but the Behemoth can't attack you.
Those beds at 4mins are my fav 'base' location. Can fast-travel right beside it, vendors nearby, enemies rarely respawn, and the containers seem safe.
31:23
Classic Bethesda experience.
Did anyone notice that he lost karma at 17:33 and a little later he passes a stealth boy underneath the table with the Chinese magazine.
"Oh a hovering lazer rifle. Thats interesting"
I don't remember the misadventures from the game, but as a young teenager, I lived just 6 blocks from that building. I would drink some beer in the bushes on the grounds with my buddies and go inside to explore. we ended up in places we shouldn't have been in and actually got kicked out a few times. Security actually got to know us by name. MAN! those were good times!
Is there a Fallout 2 series coming up soon?
Fallout 2 is massive. If he does what he did what he did with Fallout 1 and get all of the footage before hand, it will take a while.
I hope so, it's my favorite Fallout story.
I recall him mentioning he may cover it after he has covered Fallout 76 since it's currently more relevant. I agree though, I would love to see him do Fallout 2.
Can fo2 be played on a console id like to play it but my laptop cant even ha dle running diablo 2 so i doubt itll run fo2
@@dumdumdumbest834 rly? Fo2 is an isometric game, i guess even commodore 64 would run it.
35:24- booze scrap and junk... I don't know about you, but I think we have a new hit song in the making!
I love Fallout 3 SO MUCH.
I love Fallout 3. It was the first Fallout I ever played, and it made quite the impression.
Although, a few improvement ideas:
- Settlement building
- Weapon Mods/Armor Mods
- More Weapons (Like pipe gun, and melee weapons)
One of the best reasons to do a stealth/sniper build in this game is to watch the battle between Talon and the super mutants on the stairs of the Capitol. The winner seems to vary, too.
Well this aged great, didn't it
Lmao it turned into a literal war zone
Instead of mutants and mercs it's MAGAs and Govs
You know as soon as I started watching ox horn I started hearing his voice in my head while playing fallout then I start viscously searching for lore we all have a little bit of oxhorn in us
Why'd you lose karma killing the sentry bot?
I was wondering about that as well.
I think like the turrets the bit was friendly/neutral and attacking talons... I could be wrong there, Oxhorn shot it before we could find out....
I think the caps and toy car in the conference podium represent bribes and corruption...
Kartoone I thought it was a joke about some politicians at the time of the game being childish or stupid
Senty Bot was the tax calculator....I guess, when the Government need Taxes, it doesn't joke around...
1:35 that hammer trick though
On break and will only be able to see about 20 minutes of this. Thank goodness I get one more break in 2 hours so this is gonna get to me
31:23 the feeling you get when you recieve yet another crappy armor piece with the nocturnal effect.
anyone else watch oxhorn and also explore the areas hes covering in the video
Yep, I do it as soon as I get home.
Just stumbled upon your videos due to some raw curiosity about the Fallout world's lore and locations. Really loving your stuff! You definitely got a sub from me! Keep up the great content, you have a fantastic voice for this kind of video.
This aged interestingly 😂
1. Go somewhere in a Fallout Game
2. Search through the building thoroughly
3. Find Oxhorn video to make sure you didn't miss anything
4. Woah. How did I miss that?
They would put whiskey in their coffee. Rumor is they used to do it a lot
Always loved this portion of the game, I was born in Takoma Park and served in the Navy at Bethesda Naval Hospital during Desert Storm, So seeing all of this is bringing back Memories. My favorite fallout by far.
PS, Companions? I'm sure you understand why I never have any, as I understand why you do for content lol.
One thing I've often wondered about fallout is the fact you can find bottlecaps in pre-war places that haven't been explored before (not the case in this video, but some you've done have been good examples).
I mean yeah I guess you would expect to find bottlecaps in garbage and stuff, but I've seen you find them in weird unusual places like shop tills.
Its just something I've wondered about occasionally.
They might have been collected by pre-war Americans for there novelty or for premotions much like we do with boxtops.
Probably just more work than it's worth to go through every container in the game to make the contents lore friendly
It'd be a nice touch though
Oxhorn, I love how you are teaching US History along with Fallout lore. You would make a great teacher, sir. My kids would be riveted! You deserve the recognition you receive.
Nuke proof chandeliers, what a classic
That was so awesome. I love it. I just got fallout 4 about 3 weeks ago. And I stumbled on this channel on how to make an efficient settlement. I totally subscribed, dude. I always knew fallout was a good game, I didn’t know it was such a great, deep, layered game with back stories and such. Thanks for making these videos. They give me a better understanding of the fallout lore. Will keep on tuning in for tips and learning of the backstories. Once again, great work.
'These Talon Company were prepared for anything!' ... except oxhorn 😂
31:22 I love when NPCs go Rubberband Man.
The Title takes on an entirely different meaning now.....
The first 10 seconds and im already in awe. Zoom in on a location is a huge improvement
The Title has two meanings now
😂 I was surprised more comments weren't saying anything about it
Ox, the scotch and whiskey not only explains the apocalypse, but the whole Fallout version of America in general xD
In our reality all of that alcohol is just Nancy Pelosi's personal stash.😂
Could you do a Fallout Lore video on the Wilson Atomatoys company in Fallout 4? You only did a brief overview of it in your Toymaker video but never did a full lore video on it. Please?
When i got there i found a battle between super mutants, talon company and the Enclave. Pretty cool. And i didn't know the Enclave did bombing runs.
In my game the super mutant were attacking talon company and enclave
The scaffolding could have been pre-war general maintenance that happed to be around the area that collapsed post war
Hey Oxhorn, I can't remember if it was the Capitol Building or the White House, but if you no-clip to the crater where a bomb hit, there's a glowing one there.
Mat Dodge white house
Legend says that super mutant's corpse never stopped flopping around in the dome.
It's crazy how people travel all from around the world to see DC. I live a half hour away and have even worked in the DC METRO, and I can say it's nothing special. Just alot of traffic, people walking around with their air pods in, and overpriced everything
Cities suck I prefer trips to more rural areas
@@sheogorath2657 Prefer unknown areas not visited by tourists.
I mean you could say the same about any landmark in any country if you live there it will be seen as just something common for you not something special
Beginning of this episode should be called, How to juggle a super sledge by Super A Mutant, now published at your local gorebag lol
it's tripping when a fallout game takes place where you live , like i just passed by the capital this morning
Biggest reason this is my favorite fallout game.
Right I'm from Vegas my self
whoops meant to say trippy
Well I’ll never get a fallout game with my home philippines
ItsSeanHere Boi true if they ever make a fallout game outside the u.s it would probably be china or canada
Every time I have arrived at the Capitol, I've had to fight my way through both Talon Company and Mutants at the entrance, and then a lot more mutants once I started up the steps. Quiet day for Ox, I guess. ;p I always enjoy the run through the Capitol Building.
oh dear god that title didn't age so well
Seeing all the supermutants makes me want a lore piece on Fawkes, I haven’t found a video from Oxhorn about that yet
