Fallout 4 - 5 More Theories That Are Absolutely Terrifying - Fallout 4 Lore and Secrets

Ойындар

Fallout 4 introduces Sole Survivors to a wild world, an almost alien wasteland that’s nearly unrecognizable from our current world. Indeed, the Fallout universe is an incredible place, one where radiation has changed the world and unimaginable is now to be expected. In this new environment, Sole Survivors will encounter all sorts of narratives and stories that don’t always add up or make the most sense and thanks to an impressively large community, a nearly infinite amount of theories and alternative hypothesis exist to explain away some of Fallout 4’s most fascinating phenomena. So sit back and relax as we explore five more Fallout 4 theories that are just crazy enough to be true.

    @Jason Jones I find it more likely that some cats were in one or more vaults as pets. a vault that Mr didn't know about. Maybe even Vault 81 since there was a cat in there anyway. 81 seems to have opened up some time before, long enough to establish a trader network. Some of the cats might have gotten out and repopulated in that time. (I ignore 76)

    In the Far Harbor DLC, the Children of Atom explain that many of them are born completely immune to radiation. The ones that aren't immune but still wish to worship Atom are why the Rad-X and Radaway are horded by their members. They explain this while you're repairing their decontamination chamber so it blows out radiation instead of curing it.

    Theory: The "Cat Vault" was actually more of an "Animal Husbandry Vault". It took in people who considered themselves animal-lovers, and as many pet owners as they could possibly arrange for. It was only equipped with enough food to feed the occupants and their pets for a decade at the most. Not accounting for offspring. The goal of the experiment was to see if the dwellers would start eating their own pets, and breeding them for food, in order to survive. If this were included in the game, it could explain the presence of both cats and healthy dogs. Though it would be nice to see the cats changed to look like they've been bred as livestock. Big fat Maine Coons selectively bred for size, posing an actual threat in the wasteland.

    Vault theory apart (and not takin fallout 76 in count). Maybe cats are spies from the Institute ? OK hear me out : - Cats are the only animals that doesn't have a single mutated version (unlike dogs rats ...) - Cats only seemed to appear around Boston (as we didn't have them in the previous Fallout) - The Institute knows how to clone animals, they already have several cloned animals - It would also explain why Mr House said they disappeared Also it would be a great easter eggs as Americans had a plan for a surveillance cat during the cold war

    The main thing about Billy, as I remember it, he had a friend he was hanging out with and said there was food in the fridge he slowly ate while trapped. The lore on ghouls is they don't NEED to eat, drink, or sleep, but they CHOOSE to, what they mainly need is radiation to keep living. The real issue with billy is the fact ghouls who are bored/don't keep an active mind and try to keep humanity start to go feral. Without something to hang on to, to keep them sane, they tend to revert and become feral, often time being stuck in a place for a long time can make them go feral. So either Billy has had a very vivid imagination an will to live, or it's just something that should be a Wild Wasteland moment.

Well, wandering around, came across a hoard of Feral ghouls, that all came running at me, with huge erections, and that was so unexpected and fear inducing to see like 15 to 20 scrawny, naked, erect ghouls all coming for my ass.

    Well if you complete a quest for some member of the nucleus in the Far harbor DLC (don't remember the name of the quest) you will hear that some members are born with "atoms gift" that makes them 100% immune to radiation and some members are not. The quest where you learn this is given to you by one of the more... sane members of the children so I would consider it "canon" if you will. I also think you have to remember that the universe of fallout does follow the same "laws" of nature as the real world. In my opinion if you dig deep Bethesda has basically hidden a bunch of evidance that shows that The Children Of Atom are just a bunch of deranged cult members that some happen to have a mutation that makes them immune to radiation and they use that a much more as "evidence" of atom. This seems to be obvious at first but can take some serious digging to actually back up.

People can become immune to disease and poison if they survive the encounter, so why not to the isotopes that would poison us from radiation? Cells can be immune to outside forces that would affect them on a cellular level, and even your shotgun point isn't fully true... As eventually, one may survive, and if they mate with someone who had survived, they can possibly start an evolution line of humans that can survive shotgun blasts to the brain through the mouth, then eventually after a long time of dealing with that, they may gain a full immunity.

    Since most of security personnel from vault 111 went out after the first few years of isolation (resulting overseer's death). I could be more plausible that the Covenant might be a settlement built by remnants of vault 111 personnels. Where i don't recall having seen vault 111 posters, it could be possible that bethesda wanted really badly to add those to justify the "descendant from a vault" story.

    Here's a theory I've had for a while, which is backed up by lore AND Is honestly pretty out there: Radiation in the Fallout Universe isn't the energy emissions studied in our universe... ...It's the taint of the eldritch abominations lurking behind the scenes. It's clearly established that radiation there does not work like radiation here. That's because it's not the same thing. Follow my thinking. Every time we've been somewhere where the eldritch is strong (the Dunwich Building, the Dunwich Borers, etc) there's always ghouls about (or in the case of Krivbeknih, mutated swampfolk). Now you might say that's because these places are abandoned, allowing ghouls to move in, but the logs in the Dunwich suggest the people become ghouls after they get there. But these places are also always radioactive in some way, in particular, the obelisk under the Dunwich building itself emits radiation despite no evident reason it should do so. The pit at the bottom of the Borer's quarry? Despite being extremely deep groundwater, it's as radioactive as any water on the surface. All this heavily implies a relation between the elder ones and radiation. Now, while radiation causing mutations is documented extensively in the real world... but nowhere has it ever turned sea life into giant abominations with psychic-blast attacks, iguanas into slavering death beasts, or humans into ageless zombies. Across the board, the mutated creatures of the wasteland are super aggressive and far more deadly than their real life counterparts. To me, this sounds more like an eldritch taint that simple mutation. This also explains the little things like while despite (most) ghouls not actively emitting radiation, they still irradiate you on touch, again something more inline with a quasi-magical taint than a quasi-scientific one. Also at the bottom of the quarry are a pair of mininukes next to the sacrificial knife. Why are they there? Clearly no one's been down there since before the war, and back then they would be much more difficult for civilians to obtain, so it must've been important to them. They might be offerings, or symbolic representations as devices that spread their eldritch taint into the world. Or, alternatively, the eldritch ones may have put them their themselves for YOU to find and use.

    I think it's established that deathclaws and supermutants were deliberately created by the Institute with genetic manipulation and the FEV. While I'm not sure about other creatures, since the FEV is established to exist, it's a more likely explanation that it somehow got lose in all the war chaos and started to infect different creatures and it may also mutated itself as well. As for why ghouls irradiate you more when they hit you could have perfect sense scientifically since radiation is stronger the closer you are to the source, so touching a radioactive source would be the worst, especially if radioactive particles get stuck on your skin or , even worse, in a wound.

IDK if Bethesda will use this or not, but I'll include this theory of yours in my own conception of the FO's lore, and play the FO games with this in mind. Thank you!

    @mrkiky “I think it's established that deathclaws and supermutants were deliberately created by the Institute with genetic manipulation and the FEV.” Yes, it’s definitely established lore, the super mutants were definitely intentional, although i can’t remember if it was as weapons or just as a way to survive the nuclear war which seemed inevitable by that point. Deathclaws, however, were definitely made for war, they took Jackson’s chameleons (and apparently a few other things, I think humans may even have been part of the splicing, hence the intelligence of deathclaws) and created giant murder lizards specifically to release them in China and fight a ground war for the US. Considering FEV seems to have gotten _everywhere_ in the mainland US it does seem kind of likely that all the weirder shit is as a result of human intervention with some animals and evolution resulting in the few other remaining animals evolving in even more ridiculous ways than should have been possible. There’s a _lot_ of selection pressure associated with a predator like the deathclaw suddenly appearing in an ecosystem, which would also explain the lack of overall biodiversity, in-universe it’s down to hardly anything surviving a hungry lizard boi for long.

    House is actually a comic book level supergenius. He's far and away the smartest person in Fallout lore. The cat thing was already established lore and it had nothing to do with their ability to prepare for the wasteland. The truth is much simpler and more disgusting. Food was in very short supply, and cats are edible. People hunted them to extinction, and cats didn't have a chance because ten thousand years of domestication taught them that humans aren't a danger, so they didn't try to evade them like they would other predators. The real answer to this non-mystery is simple: Bethesda doesn't give a shit about continuity.

    Don't forget the cut Vault 101 jumpsuit. One of the reasons it probably got cut was because the model of jumpsuits differed from DC and Boston, and including it as a mere texture would be anachronistic; solved via the existence of the Creation Club custom vault utility suits but not in time for it to be canon. Another reason may have been that Covenant was already exhibiting major Vault origin vibes, and having a lootable jumpsuit either being worn, or found in a closet somewhere, would have been them basically just screaming at the top of their lungs "HEY GUYS ITS THE VAULT 101 SURVIVORS." and it feeling either underwhelming that it had no significant role to the rest of the commonwealth, or overwhelming in that there was no sense of wonder. I could go far and say that Deezer's Lemonade may even originate from an undisclosed Vault powdered drink flavoring; it could just be Crystal Lite in there, no actual substance but tons of flavor some love, some hate due to the powdery after taste, and hence why no one alive today remembers what its made of and Deezer's programming is off its rocker.

    I think that part of the Covenant's prewar obsession can be caused by their synth paranoia as there were no synths then. So if some synth happen to wander into town, they would be a little confused due to the atmosphere. Of course, the residents don't live in pretend or something, but I still think that's an interesting thought.

    The Gunners also greatly confused me for a VERY long time. I could not figure out why the past game's guys who sold us guns and acted as mercenary's were now still mercenary's, but also occupied locations and were acting more like raiders, killing anyone on sight and no longer ruling the gun and ammo market. Until I found out the old faction is called "The Gun Runners" and "The Gunners" are a different faction altogether, even though they wear the same combat armor and heavy weaponry, and military style. Basically a full copy of the gun runners, but as a hostile faction.

    @@R-YR29 Apologies in advance, this is going to be a long one. I disagree, a Cat Vault makes absolutely no sense what so ever if you know Vault lore including Vault lore from the Fallout Bible. The Vaults were created as test beds for the Enclave to utilize as the Enclave had intention to colonize another planet and needed this information for extreme long term space travel. If you think about it, alot of these vault experiments start to make sense, like the vault where they use a low voltage of lights and how it'd effect our eye sight. Although the Fallout Bible isn't used by Bethesda, there are still some echos to it in Nuka-World with Vault-Tec's plans for space which would involve Enclave collaboration so the information from the Vaults would be useful. When it comes to the lack of cats in DC it makes sense, out of all the places in the US, DC got hit the worst, it's the hellish wasteland out there, the vast extinction of animals such as cats is plausible, but in places not as hostile as DC such as the Boston area along with West Virginia, the survival of certain animals is more plausible. There's lore that can't be disputed and sucks when it gets retconned, but not everything people say should be taken literally. Yes cats are extinct in the west, because it makes sense for House to have the resources to explore the West, but for someone like House to not give a shit about places outside of New Vegas and the Mojave in general, it makes no sense he'd go out of his way to comb the East to see if cats are around. He more than likely made an educated guess, the west has no cats, therefore cats are extinct. One of the core things about Fallout is that the entire world is super disconnected, even most of local areas are disconnected from one another. It's consider a herculean task for any strong faction to make long range connections, let alone travel extremely far, even the Enclave struggled with this, the Brotherhood of Steel in the East lost all connections and communications to the Brotherhood in the West. How is it that a silly mummy in bed is capable of this? Let's use another example of why we shouldn't take certain pieces of lore too literally. The Kings. In order to explain why this group based on Elvis Presley isn't blasted music by him because Obsidian wasn't able to afford to get his music added to the game, they explained that The Kings went around the place to claim all records of Elvis Presley's music and used it so much, the records and holotapes wore out and are unusable and no more records exist because of The Kings. Are we to believe The Kings traveled all over the US with little to no Military resources or transportation they were able to claim every single Elvis record? Now this might be believable for the Mojave, but it's silly to assume they combed all of the US. It wouldn't be considered lorebreaking if a future Fallout game used Elvis' music.

    I have a theory that the child Shaun you first meet in the institute is the real Shaun. When you tell nick about the kidnapping and that your child was very young at the time of kidnapping, he brings up the possibility of it being Kellogg as if it was very recent, not 50 to 60 years prior. There’s also a clearly recent trail leading from Kellogg’s old house to fort Hagen. Also, when you’re in the last scene of Kellogg’s memories, you can hear Diamond City Radio playing in the background voiced by Travis, who is clearly not over 60 years old. Why would the institute hide that from you? Probably to keep you away from the child they were using to make the gen 3 synths.

Also, the trail you follow is new because Kellogg moved from diamond city recently. That doesn't mean he left immediately after Shaun left. Or if so, that the Shaun with him was the real Shaun.

    Gilhelmi plus there were more vaults on the east coast (I think), while the west coast likely had them more spread out, meaning that more people on the west coast survived outside of vaults (and likely deteriorated into more savage lifestyles). So basically...the west coast’s non-vault survivors were more numerous, and could’ve easily eaten cats into extinction. The east has more vaults and less survivors outside of the vaults, so cats would’ve survived by not being hunted as much.

That said, the whole family could, theoretically, all have had the same exposure through that fight and it's resultant fallout, or food, or drink, JUST before that fight broke out. they all ran, kid hid and got locked in the fridge... all three becoming ghouls at the same time... the parents knowing what it was, since they were adults, and had seen or heard of ghouls earlier in their lives... but they sheltered their kid... he'd never seen a ghoul before...
