Doesn’t it say that the guys at Arcadia produce the fog
@@user-rd3hb7te6o in game there's not so much any indication. It's a naturally foggy area irl... but the behavior doesn't have 1 cause
I think thats a wild connection to make, knowing as we do that courier was one of the most common jobs post war
It would be, maybe more me hoping that House coming back means we learn more about the identities of the couriers.
That show has so much wrong with it that the main audience aren't even fans of the games
Fr bro everyone I know that's watched the show haven't even played the fallout games
I mean I played all the games and love the show.
That’s not really true lol most of the Fallout community I’ve seen loves the show
@@neoknight9180 I mean from my experience it has drawn people who know nothing about fallout more than it has drawn fans which isn't a bad thing fallout has a lot of new eyes on it but I think people would enjoy the show more if they played the games first
@@neoknight9180 Not one person I know that have played the games through the franchise and not JUST fallout 4, like that show. I could point out multiple issues starting in episode one then trailing through the series. Some things were cleared up after initial backlash, but there's still a lot of holes and pieces of information they just smashed together hoping it worked. Starting with normal ghouls can be shot and killed like people. Wether it's bleeding out, explosions, big ass bullet, ect. He was shot twice in episode 2 I believe and shrugged it like it was nothing. 2. If he already knew about the power armor weaknesses why not actually utilize all that in his first fight with Maximus. Not to mention they just make absolutely ridiculous choices for the situations they're put in. Like they integrated the wacky West perk automatically. Some (not all) of their lore is a bit twisted too. Wether to fit a TV series narrative or not. It was better than their version of the last of us and that's an upgrade at least. They butchered that series.
Are you high? Shady sands isn’t based out of some ruins of a city or built on top of much of anything it was built by the vault dwellers of vault 15. So are you suggesting that the NCR had a nuclear project that had the codes conveniently leaked? Or did Vault Tec assume that a settlement would be built and bury nuclear weapons there to what? Just further inhibit and torture humanity?
Also while on this either the characters are just dumb and don’t know the history of their own setting, which would be surprising, especially for the brotherhood guy when they were talking about how the world was rebuilding without the vault dwellers. Which is also high as hell since shady sands was built by vault dwellers. Vault city made by dwellers from vault 8. Hell a vault dweller saved the fallout world as we know it! And then he went to found another settlement Arroyo. Vault dwellers have DEFINITELY been rebuilding the world. Making that “deep” line literally useless and wrong.
I don't believe I'm high at the moment... but more about the idea that a courier could unknowingly deliver or carry a package that could cause a massive explosion. Doesn't mean that nukes are under Shady Sands, but could there be an alternative method to launch nukes at a location involving a tracked package.
@@DigitalDissectionPodcast it was very much specified that in the divide the nukes were lying dormant in the ground not launched?
Ummm we kinda do know what the other items were? They were random old world trinkets including fuzzy dice. Which was delievered successfully.
This doesn't say that we don't know what they were carrying, just that we don't know much else, besides courier 5 outside the Mojave express.
@@tbazz95 the six items were fuzzy dice, the platnium chip, and random assorted old world items relating to a casino. With the purpose to throw off any thieves. As decoys.
This is more what I was going for. The identities of the couriers.
@@jackryderproductions1030 ok, you didn't read my message. At all. Thanks for that
Ironically this is a myth
Wasn't Ulysses a courier?
He was but not confirmed to be one of the Mr. House 6 I'm pretty sure
I figured out if you stay in the safe rooms long enough a horde will eventually come and you can stand in the safe room and shoot them LOL
@@watchoutnwo Resourceful is what that is
Fawkes is the goat 🔥🔥🔥
@@DiamondBoi-l4z Dudes some fan support
WDYM Unknown... House efin puts his body in semi suspended state because he failed to activate his army as he was dumb enough to encode the activation of the high end specs onto a casino chip made from platinum, also judging by the state of new vegas at the end of the show i would say he is dead because the courier probably went with yes man to control the bots. Also does anyone else think that shady sands is a crater cause of the courier in lonesome road dlc and not vault Tek like there was an option to nuke the NCR sooo..
@@Ax3lKnight I mean unknown because we don't know if Masters is dead (or got a cryogenic deal) and you mentioned the downed New Vegas wall. I'm guessing House still lives, and that Yes Man likely didn't create the independent New Vegas. I think it's entirely possible though that there's more to the couriers, and that they may yet be important to the plot. Birdie (of Vault 4) mentions that her mother was a courier, and it's too unique a profession given FNV's events that it would be a throwaway piece of dialogue.
@@DigitalDissectionPodcast Maybe but correct me if im wrong but in order to progress in most other options for the strip you would first have to get rid of house, disconnect him from the network or w/e it was, which in turn even he sais that even if you put him back in he is as good as dead in a few years at most. Im just assuming on this atleast since the strip wouldn't look so run down if the cannon for the ending was for house to gain control as he would be able to keep both the ncr and the legion at bay with all of them upgraded securitrons.
In new vegas i turned house into mashed potatoes he was already a vegetable
@@Jakob-hs9yf I mean he's just starches and carbs anyway
Love the russian badger reference
Is House going to be a big part of Fallout Season 2? Let us know what you think!
I feel like they'll have him already ousted from Tower 38 by the time of season 2, that way players who did the independent new Vegas ending can keep their headcanon, and supposing you did House's ending, he just died later somehow
@@lazy2452 I'm guessing he's still alive inside the casino but the downed wall leading into the Strip clearly knocked out part of the NCR and possibly the families running the casinos. The fact that the NCR is already severely weakened makes you wonder if Caesar's Legion regrouped after the 2nd Battle of Hoover Dam.
I guess is the fog is intense with water and since all waters are radiated and the air near them might have already been irradiated making the water increasingly irradiated
@@williamcoon3724 It's an effect not seen really anywhere else
@@DigitalDissectionPodcastI mean each location kind of has its own unique weather and effects on the world The only thing I saw that actually transferred over to new locations is the rad storms but with how far storms travel it makes sense since they have to travel over the glowing sea first
@@williamcoon3724 You'd think the acid rain effect would be in full force across the wasteland no matter which location
@@DigitalDissectionPodcast not everywhere is there a storm that goes over a nuclear detonation that was part of the Great war meaning the rad storms onto everywhere but they're likely in other location stand from the Commonwealth up
Hoping that this is the angle of the next season, always thought this concept was wasted on being non canon.
@@eeveegee666 it makes sense because so far we've just seen junior executives in the vault 31 program
So the non-canon was the gold mine
@@chamaragayan4011 💯... and it just wasn't really admitted until recently
I have the original CDs. It's a great forgotten fallout game.
@@MrEnollx Vault 0 feels like where the TV show is headed
I have play all fallout games since 1. I actually like the story of tactics and the strategy.
@@armchairwarrior963 the story isn't bad at all, it's really more an unfortunately missed part of the series for most fans
I tried playing it it wouldn't run properly in less than a browser and it ran so slow it took my character 3 minutes to walk two steps
@@williamcoon3724 that's less than optimal and makes perfect sense
@@DigitalDissectionPodcast oddly enough the first two one perfectly fine not like I spent much on it anyways I got one two and tactics for about the price of base fallout 3 or base fallout New Vegas
@@williamcoon3724I got them on GOG a while back for the same. I've never had issues though.
@@DigitalDissectionPodcast I got mine on steam
They also deleted RFID episode
Their earliest abductee was a samurai from the 16th century wich says something about how long they've been coming to earth
Yeah it's pretty crazy he's been captured that long ago... makes you wonder when they arrived
I see what you mean.. so when Marty came back to 1985 ten minutes early.. there should be an infinite number of Marty's also arriving 10 minutes early because each would go back to the exact date an time. Marty A saw Marty B go back to 1955 so Marty A should have run up to see Doc shot only to disappear and become Marty B.
It's the idea that Marty A lived in the originating 1985, but clearly not the 2ndc one. Marty B lived his life in that universe and had memories of it... but A never did. A replaced B.
I like to think that Marty B went back and disappeared with the DeLorean just after the Peabodys found them sparkling Universe A so kinda Harry potter style
Some time turning hilarity ensued. I've always thought B just went to the past and stayed, being in his 40s when 1985 rolled around.
Something important. Changing the timeline makes the other person disappear painfully right.. so that means that Marty's first family died when George got confident.. which didn't happen until Doc knew that George raised Marty.. then Doc went back and told George to write the novel. That's why George didn't publish his first novel until he was 47 instead of right out of highschool. Because Doc told him to wait and take care of his kids first
Not to mention... wouldn't Marty in BTTF2 also suffer the effects of the photo erasing before the Johnny B. Goode sequence?
@@DigitalDissectionPodcast No because cause and effect. There WAS no BTTF2 Marty until Doc came back at the end of BTTF
He doesn't look like a transformer. Not in the slightest. More along the lines of a classic robot style from the 50's and 60's. Like the Iron Giant. Then again that fits with the time period that Fallout modeled the world after.
IG was 100% an influence. The devs admitted it.
..hot rod ultra magnus kup springer and if they made her Arcee headmaster combiner
You also need the thieves rap on for the trophie
Erik is fantastic in his minor role in The Wire
He's fantastic and we're big fans.
is it amfo? fertilizer bombs are easy to make and industry standard....
Liberty Prime is my favorite addition to Fallout as a whole.
Great piece of lore, and makes sense to be hidden away as a military project.
And so cute❤❤❤
They are pretty adorable
@DigitalDissectionPodcast my must have. And kadabra
To be fair here to the nutbusters back in like 2007 it was not as easy to find this stuff
I did the “good” ending. Then some people attacked, the parents and I started fighting them. The next thing l knew the parents shot at me. WTH! Then all you could do is say hello to billy.
How's your aim? 😅
Did we miss any Liberty Prime Facts? Let us know!
Fuzzy lil man peach
Bleach can used in the making of plastic explosives. Glycerine used for dental wounds can also be used to make nitro glycerine. Potassium Nitrate which you can buy of the shelf at a pharmacy can be mixed with sugar and be used in pipe bombs, this mixture is banned in some African countries because of that fact, In America it can be used to make homemade flares and rockets, TKOR made those flares.
There's a lot of dangerous stuff that can be made without a whole lot of effort. Good thing I keep ours all separate.

Ah yes, the ol' finger remover. Pretty sure it's hand removing crystals if you make more than a few grams of the stuff. The only chemistry youtubers I have seen making the stuff never seem to take off, I guess Darwin catches up with anyone that makes the stuff pretty quickly 😂
Just the fact that the suits at Hasbro thought that people would be ok with the guy who got Optimus killed becoming the new leader was asinine
Greedy execs will always exist.
The drug isn’t unknown, since it’s RadAway which is on the label of the ghouls drip bag in Ep1.
It felt a bit off to just be radaway though, especially given that if radiation keeps ghouls alive, removing it from their bodies seems counter intuitive.
@@DigitalDissectionPodcast In the games, it doesn’t remove ALL radiation immediately, and I guess going feral is the radiation taking over their mind or something similar, either way there is a drip bag marked “Rad Away” connected to Coopers grave in episode 1
@@OperatorOri I'm guessing there's a combo of sorts at play. Not 100% radaway.
I think Virgil was the smartest Super Mutant...he discovered the cure for FEV!! 😁🤔
He's a smart cookie, and developed his own unique strain.
It would be cool if in fallout 5 Virgil would have a quest where you take some super mutants and give them to him to cure
@@nandcproductions6810 I like seeing characters appearing in multiple games. Especially since Harold likely isn't going to anymore 😬
Not a sketch show, each episode has a story. i think of it more like a stage troupe performing episodes in from of a camera - one of my favourite comedy shows
I can appreciate it for that. Part of what makes it so unique.
It was HMTD.
And Tabitha?
I considered her in the camp as Davison or Lily and gave Davison the edge.
Thanks

Frank horrigan wasn't in the top
@@santiagoleal1263 Horrigan had some chops as a soldier... just not sure he outranks some of the others. He was almost an honorable mention though.

So theyre the reason for 3 oz liquid maximums.
We dony know the time B was sent back to.
Cooper Howard was in the Marines, not the Army.
Shoot, did the math with a few people I was in school with back in 2009. Using the 400 million america had before the bomb and adding into account the ncr, Legion, brotherhood of steel into population account we came up with 3.5 million survived the bombs of 2077. Meaning 1 out of 114 people would survive. And out of those people. 4 out of 10 would become a ghoul and out of those ghouls 7 out of 10 would go feral meaning there is around 420,000 ghouls in the wasteland that are still holding their mental faculties. And out of those ghouls around 1,000 are pre war ghouls.
Well I'm happy you did the math. There's gotta be plenty more examples in the wastes.
@@DigitalDissectionPodcast we got at least 1,000, but you don't live that long by being in the Spotlife. as my great great grandmother (1891-2003) once said: "only though a calm and simple life out of the spotlight will you live the longest."
