      I like it to an extent, I just don't see how one raider group can have control over one building. And across the street is feral ghouls or Super Mutants and they RARELY interact, unless you go running by and activate both groups and they run into each other.
      Now that is by definition RETARDED...

      Now I would love to see a group of Norwegian Fisherman, the one we see is just the one that crashed and there could be more off the coast. Ya know, since there isn't a back story to them and there is to the raiders of Libertalia...one of them is even a synth

      But what would they be pirating using boats? Sure, they could maybe be looting from other raiders on the coastline, but that area probably doesn't go very far, with nothing to salvage or scavenge from any settlements or unoccupied areas on the nearby coast, with mirelurks, supermutants and other raiders to compete with. It just isn't a good game plan.
      Although any working (but probably small) boats could be used to connect to other raiding parties they control on the close coast.

      @@Redemptive_Neerdowell The main reason people are suggesting it is because Rad King was wondering why Bunker Hill and Easy City Downs pay them protection, especially since the Judge is closer to both.
      Since they are already based on a floating base, it makes sense that they would have more experience with using boats. And with even small boats they could get to the River Bridges to threaten Northern traffic to and from Bunker Hill, as well as being able to pressure Easy City Downs without having to go through the Judge's territory.

    For the reason as to why Libertalia has Bunker Hill pay dues to them: the northeast of the map has Long Neck Lukowskis, ran by only one man. However, since he got the plant up and running, he has been a major food supply source for a lot of the Commonwealth. Your first interaction with the location is him arguing with a Vault 81 trader. Vault 81 is a big trade hub, though not as big as Bunker Hill. It would make sense that Bunker Hill and other trade organizations make their way up there for the food he supplies, and Libertalia would ensure they pay for passage to the cannery.

      Because I never understood why Gabriel just replaces Wire without any fanfare, I always had my own headcanon for what went down
      According to his terminal entries, Wire, at heart, was still a Minuteman. As the Sole Survivor starts rebuilding the organization, Wire considers disbanding his pirate gang. However, between the veterans and fresh meat, none shared his lofty ideals, leading to mutiny.
      By the time the Sole Survivor finds Libertalia, the mutiny is either ongoing (Wire is alive) or complete (Gabriel is captain)

    Isn't the area around the asylum where Lorenzo Cabot is located attacked/occupied by raiders? I thought these guys had a leader as well (according to FO4 Wiki his name is Lefty). So I'd like to present a theory for this: They seem to provide quite a threat to Jack Cabot's efforts since he hired mercenaries to secure the location but the raiders (under Lefty) were able to defeat the mercenaries and push even down to the facility where he holds his father Lorenzo Cabot. Interestingly, even after having cleared the asylum raiders will, while in small numbers, still show up if returned to the location according to FO4 Wiki, so it may still have some importance to the raiders in the area even after Lorenzo Cabot's fate is sealed. The mercenaries leader Captain Maria also sends the Sole Survivor to the Creamery (before they are defeated by the raiders lead by Lefty) since raiders stole one of the shipments for Jack Cabot, hinting once more to pressure by (organized?) raider groups towards the location. Lynn Wood's, right next to the Creamery is also said (by FO4 Wiki) to just recently been pillaged (and taken over) by raiders, hinting to the same group having done so - it would also make sense strategically since it has a lookout tower and also since it's just next to the Creamery. Do you think this theory makes sense?
    Coastal Cottage to the east of the asylum might also be associated to the group, but that also might stretch it a bit idk. But these raiders may be also associated to Mahkra Fishpacking, since it is referred to as "a raider stronghold at some point post-war", before the location was overrun by synths. So maybe the raiders found westward were associated to the group at Mahkra since it would make for quite a nice base and there is not a big threat westwards beside some mercenaries around the asylum so expansion efforts by such a group might be possible, but again that might be quite speculative since there is also no named raider leader at Mahkra and the whole site is abandoned by the raiders in 2287 so idk. Or do you think this group is disorganized at this point in time due to the takeover of the Mahkra "stronghold" by the synths at this point? Is Mahkra and Coastal Cottage even associated to the same raider group as the group around Lefty at the Creamery, Lynn Wood's and the Asylum at all in your opinion? I am genuinely interested, since i really like this area and you haven't covered it in the video.

    To me, the raiders near such large and named groups (especially like Boscos gang and the surrounding genereic raiders) are basically tributaries. Not under the direct command of the named boss, but linked. Etiher as a separated group somewhat still related (like a boss told some of his group to set up post somewhere to keep a closer look and they just sorta became their own thing while still kinda-sorta still reporting to the big boss), or a separate group that just happened to take up residence there and was almost consumed by the big gang nearby, but managed to remain semi-independent by offerering cap-tributes to the big boss.
    I would assume Zeller once controlled more further south, perhaps even the airport (tho likely only partially), but fled once the Brotherhood arrived. Why? Well, before the Brotherhood arrives, we don't see anyone in the airport, but such a place must somehow be claimed, and it's most likely Zeller, because the only other option, Easy-Ernie would find little use in that clotted up area.

      Ok, then prior to the Brotherhood, it was a feral nest that hindered him. So he did not go all the way southbound, but likely still further south as the ferals usually have a smaller aggression-range than the Brotherhood, and unlike the Brotherhood, ferals don't do on patrols.

    I wonder if Bosco was meant to be involved in a more in depth quest line related to the combat zone back when they intended to allow you to fight there. Bunker Hill and Zeller was a great idea but short, maybe Bosco was meant to be a threat to Diamond City supply lines, so many good options for raider turf wars in the base game.

    • @davidhong1934

      Regarding Bosco, it would've been cool if Diamond City Security posted bounties for notorious criminals, with one listing as follows:
      "Sightings of beast continue. Residents are advised to avoid the following locations."
      Because your interest is peaked, you ignore common sense and investigate the areas, slowly piecing together where you can find the creature, leading to the final confrontation with Bosco

    Tower Tom may also have dealings with Vadim from the Dugout Inn in Diamond City. In the Confidence Man quest, Vadim is kidnapped and taken to the Brewery, after the barfight with two characters named Bull and Gouger. If Tower Tom is killed before the Confidence Man quest, then one could assume that either Bull or Gouger have taken control of the gang at the brewery.
    Demo would be known to Diamond City, because Abbott used to get the paint for Diamond City's wall from there. When the Sole Survivor talks to Abbott, he mentions that raiders moved in not too long ago, suggesting that Demo and his crew arrived from somewhere else.

    My guess is that Tower Tom is a fairly new boss, which is why he's not doing so much 'Raider' stuff, either because he's either a breakaway grunt from another gang who's struggling to get into the role, or he's a normal guy who decided recently to become a raider boss and simply has no experience with doing 'Raider' things. It might explain why he's so willing to take on clearly more-entrenched gangs and is so neglectful of his supply problems. Maybe he was a drunkard prior to becoming a Raider boss which partially compelled him to take Beantown Brewery over looking for somewhere with good supplies?
    As for Sparta, I assume she's a veteran who got drawn to Tom by all that booze, and now that she's out on her own at the BADTFL base, she's starting to try to break away from Tom's gang, seeing him as a lost cause. If my boss was neglecting my food stocks for booze I'd be pretty itching to leave too.
    Also, since Beantown Brewery is where Gouger and Bull take Vadim during Confidence Man (which I don't know why you didn't mention that quest), I assume that the former two are also part of Tom's gang.

      The fact that Gouger and Bull can take jobs like that seems interesting.

    Like if you destroy the Brotherhood while Zeller is still alive, have him found scavenging the airport with his group and make his base deserted, so if you can battle him there in a surprise attack and just move through the school unimpeded. Maybe if you kill Slag, instead of Raiders repopulating the dungeon later, it's the Gunners resuming metal operation, same thing with Scutter with the Gunners taking over his flooded domain.

    I haven't gotten very far into the video, but I figured I'd throw this in real quick because it will pertain to the rest of the video likely. Bosco doesn't have to control the raider groups for them to not be hostile to them. Places like the combat zone and the east city downs exist for a reason, even though it's tenuous at best, raiders often... coexist? I don't think that's the right word. But either way I'm just saying it's a possibility. Personally, I do think that Bosco controls the raider groups you mentioned purely because he has shown himself in the past to be ruthless and ambitious, and they'd either be for him or against him.

    Bommer's gang = The Heavies. This is because of the different members powerful gear or positions, for example.
    Ack-Ack has a mini gun. Sully Mathis has a powerful position and Boomer has power armor and a fat man.
    Beantown Brewers: I got this one from a mod I seen
    Bosco's gang = The Bears due to it being the high school team name at D.B Tech and it also relates to Boscos outfit.

    Due to Zeller making his men take a blood pact to join him or something like that.

    First the name goes with their naming conventions. Her armour matches theirs, her fighting style is "raider" and when they exile members they'll burn and brand them. She has a burn on the right side of her face.
    Another bit is near the Ironworks "451" is graffitied on the wall in reference to "Fahrenheit 451" a dystopian novel. Hancock is also huge into reading and books and shit. Might be a stretch but it's a theory, a game theory.
