Okay silly mistake, it’s the CITY of Londinion not planet. Slip of the tongue from me I think! Anyways enjoy!
You said Cheyanne wrong.
th-cam.com/video/-yXmSjiX4hQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=PronounceNames
We'll let it go. This time.
Fantastic lore video! This is one of the deepest statfield lore videos. As some one who has readdeeply into the lore I can tell you researched thoroughly. Most lore videos don't mention key people such as Vae Victis and major paxton Hull. Well edited too.
Looking forward to an equally good or better starfield lore video.
Honestly mistake mate, we know what meant
Bro you had ONE job
I remember listening to Sarah when she talked about this battle in the Cassiopia system in the Colony War. I believe she said she could hear her crew dying in their escape shuttle (on the radio) because it had taken structural damage, and thus spiraled down onto the planet. Either burning them all to death in planetary re-entry or from the impact on the planet itself. So.. the UC didn’t need to check for other survivors, because there were none but Sarah & perhaps some critically injured crew she may or may not have found and brought with in her escape shuttle.
One important fact that I didn't see you mention: The UC lost the Colony War because they stood down when the Freestar Collective used a fleet of civilians as a 'human shield' to their advances.
The UC historians/propogandists may have seen them as civilian ships, but ask any FC citizen and they'd describe them as privateers or militia answering a call to arms.
@BogeyTheBear perspective is such isn't it?
Freedom fighters to one guy, is a terrorist scumbag to another. So interpretation means little with actual facts available.
Human shield wave attacks of civilian/militia to thr FC is brave heroes standing and sacrificing for what they believe in.. to the UC may very well have looked like civilians being gangpressed into service as cannon fodder to soak up UC Firepower to save the expensive remaining official vessels.
So... 🤷♂️ it's left to us.
Bevause propaganda on both sides is equally insidious.
They were militia or civilian soldiers.
Its a UC propaganda, and you hear it in New Atlantis (UC capital), right near the UC Vanguard recruitment office.
@@SioololHow’s it propaganda?
This game has so much potential. So many features that could've been included but weren't. E.G It ruffles my jammies oh so much that you can't build/pilot mechs. It's like many of the features are there but in their most basic form or not at all.
Had* potential.
It’s out, and it’s watered down shit.
I find it sad there’s people hoping the dlc would save it.
The game should be good on it’s own. Not hope the dlc would save it.
@@Kyriakos703mods not dlc 😂😂😂
@@ollyjhb3872 Needing either to fix a brand new fucking game priced at 70 euros/dollars is just as ridiculous. Makes 0 difference.
I let myself get caught up in the advertising hype...and what hype it was. We expected the second coming, and got loading screens 😂
Looking forward to more lore videos of this series from you!
Your videos are amazing!
One of my favorite overthought aspects of human curiosity is that the vast majority of our existence has been spent looking up at the night sky and asking, "What tf even IS that?"
I really hope that the dlcs expand this story more or that we even have a first contact type dlc with aliens, I mean I hope they don't apply the same thing they did with fallout 4 dlcs...
I feel ya, the hope I have is that it seems like the game was built with dlc in mind. Not a great way to make the game but there is so much that could be expanded on and I hope aliens or house varuun gets some spotlight
It's bethesda in 2023 😂
@@heboric6136I am really hoping they add a House Varuun DLC. They are probably one of the coolest factions in the game, even though they have no quests. They also have the most badass armor in the game.
@@gabemissourieh, the armor is average. The terramorph armor you get looks better
As a Startrek fan, i'm grateful and happy with the discovery and explorations theme. Another future war game just sounds so meh to me. Sure that can be added into what we have now as additional elements but for the most part, what you talking about sounds like Call of Duty/Titan Fall/ Destiny 2/ Halo infinite, and so on and so on...
More starfield lore! ❤️❤️❤️
So anyway, we started blastin'.
Fantastic lore video!
How the Freestar collective, in leather vests and using the absolutely terrible Laredo weapons, managed to fight the UC, who have proper body armor and ACTUAL GUNS, to a standstill is beyond me
Freestar was specifically known for their mechs, while both sides actually had and used mechs, Freestar had a lot of "Aces" who punched far above their weight when compared to the UC mechs and their respective pilots, one of the things that caused the UC to lean so hard into Xenoweapons and bioengineering monsters to control
Most of their tactics involved making the commanding general choose between committing war crimes or leaving them alone. Generally it worked
Vietnam be like
I think you're underestimating Laredo guns to be honest
Imagine thinking they were limited to one brand of weapons xD
I always look forward to your vids. Keep up the great work!
A wisefish vid to get me through Friday ‼️
I love this video.
Respect and keep up the epic work.
Man, House Va'ruun got a good deal being part of the Armistice agreement. Xenowarfare from UC banned, Mech warfare from the Freestar Collective banned, and House Va'ruun... Nothing lost and they must be informed of anyone trying to access info about both 😂. Maybe the United Colonies should have considered banning snakes too 🤔
Always some rich lore to discover in Bethesda games, it seems. Great work with this vid! Well played.
Brilliant video as usual
Awesome video! A note on the treaty of Narion, though: the treaty seems to consider binary systems as one systems, even though they're labeled separately on the in-game starmap. Hence, the U.C. also controls Toliman adjacent to Alpha Centauri and the FC has Valo adjacent to the Narion system.
WiseFish I would love for you to explore more of the Star Field game. Either way if you don't, I will still enjoy your content.😊
Wooh new WiseFish
oooo yes, the other game I'm playing rn, good stuff!
Man I hope some day you do more Starfield lore videos, I know they probably aren’t the best to do for views and whatnot, but I would love more Starfield content.
More starfield lore, please. I love this game also great video as always
I don’t know who you are or how you did this, but I LOVE this video. I’m an historian and Starfield is my new obsession. I look forward to your next video! 👏
Yes. Please more lore!!!!!!
Nice video but I’m going to watch when I get the game don’t want any spoilers but nice job of getting 127k subscribers nice to see how much you have grown
Ok, nobody else is saying this so I have to. Cheyenne is pronounced "shy-ann" like a shy person named Anne. It's the capital of Wyoming and the name of a Native American tribe. Great video though! Very informative of the lore.
Came to the comments for exactly this lol I really like the video, but had to make sure he knew how to actually say it for next time 😅
Next video idea: i think we should start with how earth became like this next time and maybe the other planets in our solar system :)
The Lore is Amazing
Thank you for making this. I love Starfield and love to hear and see more about it when I can't be playing it.
Great video! Im in love with starfield, the colony war is one of the most interesting things lore wise, especially xeno warfare and all that, thanks for the vid.
Interesting , Thank You .
I would love a colony war prequel I know it would never happen but it would be brilliant
It would’ve been dope if your reckless actions during the faction missions touched off another war
I hope you will look into the Stygian Set cultists in spehss, House Va'Ruun. 🐍🐍🐍
I admit that the Children of the Great Serpent are quite not as twisted as the devotees of Set, as depicted in the setting of the Hyborian Age, in the Conan novels. Nonetheless, they have a foreign policy and society that are quite antithetical to both the UC and Freestar.
I do love their aesthetics.
i still believe that "The Serpent" is just another Starborn but unlike The Hunter, The Pilgrim, or The Emissary, The Serpent has become an omnicidal madman wanting to completely erase all of existence likely cause they may have been doing the universe hopping thing for far far longer than most of the others have
@@wintertrooper7918 One second...
_"No! They know not their words are hurtful, my beautiful, shining, noodol-spehss snek-boss. Let the heretics live their lives of dull certitude. We, your Children, will just work harder to fill your cup. Please still your fangs and be at peace. Your coils touch all realms."_
Anyway... Yeah, I suppose it is possible that the Great Serpent is merely a Starborn.
If She were to show us Her true nature as being similar to us, Her children cursed with limbs, I would feel closer to Her and it would make Her Embrace all the more comforting.
The next colony War is gonna be lit.😺
that should have been in the main game tho smh
@@holostrotoo much work. Easier to just create space Skyrim with watered down Fallout 4 mechanics and a bunch of bland empty worlds everywhere.
Hell yea. With starborn sprinkled in.
@@remy5347 With the idea of the multiverse, they should have done alternate universe that the war never ended. But Mrs.Bethesda is to much incompetent for that.
just a correction, francois sanon was also present during the battle of cheyenne. he even ordered firing against attacking civilian ships, which also landed him into hot water.
Let’s go!
Quility video! More field of stars!
A Space Casino DLC would be nice also a Earth Arena Battleground DLC would be cool too.
Its interesting how the UC in both peace conferences seems to take point.
In the first one they limit the number of system's each group can colonise( more beneficial to the UC since Akila and Neon are still essentially city states)
2nd peace treaty: x-warfare and mechs outlawed, yet keeps all the data and even brilliant war criminals in their capital city.
Limit to fleet sizes, mainly to attempt to counter freestar fleet militias, while also keeping secret shipyards if i am interpreting the lore correctly
What a shocker that the authoritarian shitbirds of the UC aren't following the treaties.
can you make some armored core content? it would be a godsend
Hmm i dont mind this tbh. more starfield stuff Great!
Been playing the campaign and side missions, as well. I gotta say, I have bin connecting the dots. There’s a lot going on. Don’t want to give any spoilers up, but I cannot wait for the DLC. Lots to come on one of the religions that are in the game. Give you a hint.🐍
That’s hilarious that Vic swapped jerseys with cp
So funny to think that factions would actualy punish their own officers for warcrimes.
What a fantasy land this game is.
they wouldn't have if they were given a choice but they had to for the armistice it was basically the freestar saying "you punish them or no deal and we keep fighting!" the UC was not really keen on keeping going (likely cause the war was not super popular and it could have led to the political suicide of the uc leaders if it had kept going)
@wintertrooper7918 Plus the freestar also charged their for share ex: the first
hopefully in a dlc we get colony war 2
centralized power structures are vary vulnerable to mantles.
Although it may not be the best game, you certainly make it sound far more interesting than it probably is lol. Great narration as always.
The game is a lot better than he’s implying truth be told. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s a really good game.
More starfield
Do want more.
18:06 Yeah, that's gonna be a source of problems in the future...
This is intended to be constructive criticism, please don't take it as anything other than that. Your information is mostly correct, but I must ask did you just do reading about the lore or have you played through the game to obtain it? You've somehow managed to mispronounce nearly every major location name, despite them being properly pronounced throughout the entirety of the game. Other than your interpretation of pronunciation giving the impression of someone trying to speak a language they've only read about, similarity to the way we Americans mispronounce zebra since you don't get to name something you don't have, you're well on your way to accurate and entertaining content. In short, your video is mostly accurate and informative. Keep up the good work.
I'd be pissed if I was Paxton too
It was so brutal every veteran developed that thousand yard stare! It was so spooky!
The DLC should be about a further escalation about the factions learning about the Starborn
13:33 in my story I made him class one citizen
My biggest surprise ia that when fleeing earth no one decided to take earths animals. Theres a planet with clones of historical figures somehow but they couldnt clones at least the most famous of animals. Tigers, lions, elephants? Hell id even take a dog or cat. They let them all die.
Also Sanon wasnt "executed" for londinion. It was for the final battle at akila when he killed civilians because they joined the fight.
When the lore is more interesting to watch than actually playing the game.
that's in most things because you get the answers much faster by watching a video than playing it, this isn't starfields fault but human nature
This game has so little going for it but the colony wars are genuinely interesting. I rather would have played that then the regarded space magic rock story we got.
Agreed
One can argue that that and the unobtainium from avatar are the same plot.
Native American names seem to be difficult for others to say
starfield is hands down the best game I've played this year despite the bugs and crashes it's still fun to explore planets and with so much to do no bethesda game has had that much content i could say it rivals fallout 3 and new vegas in greatness but a lot bigger and futuristic
the year where we have baldurs gate, phantom liberty and spider man
Glad you like it man. I’m also glad you don’t understand the value of 70 euros. You’d cry if you understood how much you paid for this.
Also, you do know other game developers exist right?
@@pole8740i played starfield on game pass for free. It was fun, but so goddamn frustrating. I found myself enjoying it a lot, but there were so many times I was glad I didn’t pay for this.
Then I bought cyberpunk…
I haven’t even bought phantom liberty. Jus 2.1 Cyberpunk base game.
My sleep schedule got fucked up for 2 weeks. This game was so fucking good. I can’t wait to get my hands on phantom liberty.
And baldur’s gate…I know a guy who played it so much he’s now single.
@@Kyriakos703 tell me are you one of those people who are salty because because you didn't get the game on your precious console i paid nothing for this since i have gamepass even if i would have paid full price for it i would not have regretted it
@@Kyriakos703 probably the same person who was trashing cyberpunk 3 years ago now praising it and using it as their measuring stick for RPGs 😂
This is where the game should have started.
✌
That was the most abysmal pronunciation of Cheyenne I’ve ever heard ☠️
I must be an unusual player. I have always ambled around Bethesda games, essentially sidestepping the main quest for an indefinite period. I've concluded Bethesda's games - including Starfield - suit players who "make their own game". I can redesign both the UC and Freestar navies, truck Europium to Alpha Centauri or stare out the porthole at something wandering past. Are there elements I wish they'd included? Hell yes.
Are there aspects that annoy me? Again, yes.
But overall, I'm enjoying Starfield. I don't need a plethora of missions, and I've played Bethesda games since Morrowind, so I expect bugs.
Your lore videos have been an interesting adjunct to the game. Thankyou.
Tbh the limitations on colonization dont make logical sense for either nation.
Oh boy, more reasons to dislike the governments in starfield
I don't know how to feel about starfield. I guess it's a good thing that bethesda has finally proved that they are capable of performing more than two tricks(Fallout and elder scrolls) in total, but the time invested into a near flop that will almost certainly never see a sequel much less any sort of follow up... Should have been used instead for retconning their previous fuckups.
Shame that bethesda didn't create aliens to enrich the lore more. Yet...
Terrormorphs
I hope this isnt a "one off" like skyrim :(
You do a great job of storytelling and presenting all of this information, but as a passerby on starfield lore with no real experience with the game at all, this lore just sounds so…bland. It seems like there’s so little reason for any of these conflicts to be happening, and the moves that each faction makes don’t really seem to make any sense. Why did the UC decide to just occupy a system without thinking about the people already there? Why did the FSC decide to accept the plea of the Narrion colonists for help? How did negotiations even break down? It seems like both factions support some form of democracy; how did they get to a point where they were so willing to go to war with a faction for TWO DECADES so philosophically similar to their own? If it’s territory, it’s space; there’s plenty of it out there. Why did the FSC decide to violate the Treaty in order to colonize Vesta? It all feels so.. full of holes and without reason.
Топчик
Excellent stuff sir, starfield doesnt compare i think in lore as a game like cyberpunk or even other Bethesda games but ive found that you get what you were wanting to find when you play. If you expect to be disappointed you will be but there is alot to explore and get up to if you're willing to chill and have a good time you will find that as well.
you know if the colony war was what the main story instead of the garbage starborn fetch quest this game would have been so much better. the lore is so much more interesting that the boring uneventful game we got.
It is pronounced SHY-anne
It is pronounced Shy Ann
The colony war that we barely see the effects of in the game.
There are abandoned military bases, mech scrapyards, and crashed spaceship locations on most planets in the game. Those were all caused by the Colony War.
I also forgot to mention Londinion falling to the Terrormorphs was also caused by the war.
starfield lore suck it nerds.
It wouldnhave made better content then 99.9 pf the missionss. THIS GAME IS EMPTY EMPTY i love it buts its empty
Some of the background events sound interesting, too bad the rest of Starfield is bland and feels low stakes.
Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle.
The games not about war. Its exploration and the cost to do so.
Turn up your difficulty? 🤷🏼♂️ bethesda can't make an exploration game toooo hard but very hard is the best you'll get
Difficulty at least on my opinion wasn't the issue, but after nearly 60 hours in it felt deeply asinine and repetitive, 70-80% of the planets feel similar and past the main story it felt lacklustre by the 20th ship combat where you just joust with pirates, or search the same deserted output or factory the 30th time.
I will not denigrate you if you enjoyed it friends, far from it, but Bethesda has suffered from putting the breathtaking vista first, and the substance second in terms of quality. I want to make progress in 1-2 hours because that's all I get at the end of my day of work if I keep to a regimen.
@Nomadith I agree with this but there's a couple things you can do to make it better. Use different guns, try different stuff, don't be afraid to change your pace. I spent a few hours making a series of outposts to make money. Stuff like that will help
Space is empty. If everywhere was taken up, where would you build an empire?
That being said, Space is empty, space stations exist, why can't I own one?
There's mech graveyards, why can't I put a power cell in one and steal it?
Because this is the base game, with confirmed DLCs coming in the future. Because Bethesda is still a company employing God knows how many people every year and they need money
Bethesda at it again with awesome world building but falling flat in integration
If only the main quest was as interesting as the back story, oh well.. hopefully the Elder Scrolls 6 will be fun.
Ya hopefully the 6th edition of the same game will be thrilling 🙄
Boy I could not give less cares on game's lore than starfield lol
Pretty much every proper pronoun is mispronounced. Gotta love AI voices.
Mech warfare versus Zeno warfare. 😮 this is a no-brainer Xeno warfare is biological.🦠 compared to Mach⚙️ they can use it to move around cargo or use it for farming and things of that nature. There is no comparison! I think UC is wrong. Because bio weapons are much more inhumane.
I wouldn't waste your time
the massive, boring world of starfield
The massive boring world of haters looking for attention
Ill like it but ehhhh not really interested in Starfield.
Snoozefield.
Wow did you come up with that all by yourself or did you have help
Imma say it. Starfield's lore is boring. I really had to force myself to stay interested. Felt like a been there done that vibe, it's underwhelming at the least. Good video tho :>
Plot holes everywhere.
