You bet

He’s canonically 12 feet tall.

Genuine "uh oh" moment

I love Frank for that very reason. Hes a no nonsense, man. I'd rather shoot than talk as well if I was a Secret Service guy like him.

It's foreshadowed in the Temple of Trials. When you're talking down that tribal guy, he says that there will come a time when you won't be able to talk an enemy down, you will have to stand and fight to the death. Which is exactly how the game ends.

Yessir

As much as the tutorial dungeon was a disliked thing, that really is a good foreshadowing.

You can also pickpocket the key off of him

It's God😢

Ironically, my first run was done thanks to Charisma: I brought together 5 companions (Marcus, Cassidy, Vick, Sulik, Myron), 4 Enclave soldiers. And before this I convinced the scientist to launch the self-destruction reactor. Agility: Blown up the president with bomb to take the key for terminal to join turrets by my side without having troubles with guards. Strength: Equipped power armor and gauss rifle to myself. In the end Horrigan had to match with 10 people with a top tier equipment (yourself, 5 companions, 4 enclave soldiers) + several turrets. All of them were convinced to be by your side both by charisma and intelligence.

@@grixmyron7637 Charisma! if you can't convince your enemy to be your friend, you can convince your friend to beat your enemy

Gotta agree it’s kinda sad that his work was for nothing and he regrets it if the human population dies the super mutant race dies too

Yeah but he's an uggo, and uggos need to be wiped out from the wasteland

He did it all for the mutie

its like hearing AM suddenly have a moral awakening and being disgusted with himself.

@@kensloththe what?

The problem with being so righteous in one’s own crusade is that you can easily be blinded to the damage you’re actually causing.

@@AggressiveSpaghettibro what are you talking about🤦‍♂️

​@@AggressiveSpaghettiBro tried to be edgy

​@@elizabethw5034bro thats true tho, thats rules of nature, life without misery is utopia

I mean tbf you do nuke the institute in Fallout 4. I don't really think your dying 80-year-old son is gonna put up much of a fight

​@@mostlynormal9467I guess you can charisma him to give you the deactivation codes but that doesn't do much.

​@@mostlynormal9467 you would atleast think they have some badass synth warrior, but nope.

fallout 4's factions just cannot be talked out of a fight either but not because they're too dedicated but simply because fallout 4 cared more for their own flawless writing than the story the player could have done

it's an interesting parallel to the temple of trials where the tribe member guarding the exit insists you fight him on the grounds that you can't talk your way out of every situation you can convince him otherwise and skip combat but in the end: whoops, turns out he was right this whole time

i mean technically you can "talk" to win, but only to weak enclave soldiers to support you. no talking works for gigamerican

I really wish Obsidian Entertainment (same devs from Black Isle) are given another chance to make another Fallout game. New Vegas is just something else that can never be replicated.

@cassie.d7978 They're not really the same people anymore, like the Ship of Theseus. Any team that doesn't have Josh Sawyer on it wouldn't be true. However, Josh was famously the victim of a one woman defamatory campaign, which he couldn't even get fully expunged. (Mostly because the judge was totally biased towards her. Amber Heard wishes this was her judge...)

​@@VerdeMortehe was hit so hard by the "campaign" that googling could not bring it up. Citation needed.

"The *time for TALKING'S OVER* ...🗣🛇!"

Colonel

I’m 99% sure some BoS soldier would gun him down

​@@ObootlegThey can try, the tin knights.

A different enclave sect. A WEAKER enclave sect. Colonel Autumn wishes he could stand in the same room as Frank

A giant armored mutant with a huge gun vs an elderly sheltered man in a trench coat with a laser pistol. Considering what both of them were up against, Autumn beating feet was honestly a good decision for his breathing subscription.

I also bleed red and white not blue tho

The might just be the radiation and the cybernetic implants he has

@@Vaultboyfromfallout white?

Not basically that's literally who he was

he technically wasn't a super mutant and was only kept under sedation while they were experimenting on him i believe.@@AtreVire

He, he was a super mutant. FEV exposure and all (albiet accidentally) but who the hell was going to tell him that?@@jackjill1042

​@@jackjill1042he was a special Supermutant, one of the strongest and double height of a normal one. Drugged up and full of cybernetics, his armor is installed in his flesh

A super mutant? Frank Horrigan is a 100% human US secret service agent! Semper fi!

So true Sergeant Dornan🇺🇸🦅👍

Ehhhh, Fallout 2 with enough charisma yields a fully armed huge posse plus four enclave fighters (and if you're smart) turrets, too. Frank isn't just gunning down helpless vault folk or under equipped scavvers. Charisma in Fallout 2 may not directly get him to back down but Charisma made this fight easier. I think I had 8 members as regular companions my first play through. That car must have been cramped.

@@hpph7133 Which is a much clever way to use charisma from a writing standpoint than just "through the power of friendship"

​@hpph7133 think of it this way though if you don't put any points into charisma you will be so strong in combat that you don't need companions. That's why it's called fallout 2 cause there's two builds companions and no companions build

Or even strong charisma lol

And as *to quoth the man himself* yet: " *We just did: The time for talking's OVER* ...🗣🛇! *Your ride's over, mutie... Time to DIE* ...💀"

​@@rahadianaryo5979 proceeds to get cut in half

"Democracy is non-negotiable

you don't need plot armor, just access to turrets and a few friends in actual armor with mini guns not even frank is immune to a few thousand rounds of high velocity lead

​@@Feasco He pretty much is the entire reason the fallout 2 protagonist is the choosen one is because nothing short of plot armor was going to have you leave there alive which is why the devs named the protagonist choose one

I hate the argument of plot armor. Every single protagonist has plot armor bc it's not armor it's just what fucking happens in the story. There is bad writing but it's never plot armor bc then you'd have to complain that about every single protagonist ever. Even if a character loses or something, it's still plot armor in the sense that they were written this way. So really plot armor makes no sense and is just very ignorant tbh. Just say bad writing/story telling.

​@No1gamer More like you have a highly specific and personal definition of what the phrase plot armour means. People are aware the protaganist will inevitably win in the end, that's not what they mean when they say plot armor. The reason why people say plot armor is for when it's overly silly/bad writing. It's just overused by a lot of people on the internet, same as any other word.

@@NeutralGuyDoubleZero Except plenty of people do use it in that way Anytime a protagonist succeeds despite odds not being in his favor You will find people claiming plot armor It's overused and definitely "incorrectly" used

he had realized that he was not the hero of his own story, but was in fact a villain. poor deranged soul.

​@@UltimateGamerCC Well said about this, Ultimate Gamer CC... And then, *for the one and only Frank Horrigan's concludes these particular convincing conversations* right here...💀

Except for Granite and his Company. And these turrets over there.

@@kalimatronix and considering its quality the boston enclave with the america rising mod dlc. still uses fev weapons tho and dislikes mutation just more restrained and beaucratic about it.

Except FO3 dad killed himself?

@@DarkAdonisVyers that's semantics, considering Autumn was gonna shoot him anyway.

I do like that lanius views you talking as ‘fighting with words’ especially if you talk to Ulysses about him, so you can convince him he’s taken the surface of the dam so easily because the NCR have the majority of there forces in the walls ready to trap and slaughter his men, using fake tactics that would ultimately be effective to make him think the two headed bear is especially vicious when it’s cornered

It's kind of underwhelming that he'd overlook something so simple/blatant as super mutant infertility, though.

@@Someone-hd2vu I mean it makes sense. He was so focused on the larger idea that he missed something minute and refused to believe it out of probably pride

To this day it's crazy to me that his primary voice is also the voice of Winnie the Pooh

@@SaulGoodman3D2049 that’s one of my favorite facts ever honestly it’s just the best to bring up with people😭

Basically primarch knock-off, with custodes-level strength.

bro one punched a death claw

Frank Horrigan is a true chad.

A duel between him and Tyberos would be glorious.

When danger reared it's ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes brave Sir Lanius turned about, and gallantly he chickened out

God bless their radioactive ashes may they find a more perfect union in hell

but not the squad of soldiers you run into just before him, who can at least be talked into joining you against him

and maxon in fallout 4 absolutely unconvinciable to bend in his belifs a absolute dogmatist to the core.

"We just did"

Which game has Maxson being the final boss?

@@storyteller6216 Fallout 4, he's the final boss during the Institute ending. Only time in the game you can get his unique Elder Power Armour.

Maxson>Master? Hot take, Bro.

@@pavelkrustowski6936 Just my opinion, I think he's a cooler character. The Master's boss fight is better, though.

That character as well as the game in general is about as shallow as a puddle of piss.@@CyberController-

Horrigan takes the phrase "just don't overthink it" to the next level.

I know right, frank Horrigan was so much more cooler than the fallout 3: "I'll let you live even though this could be a lie"

Autumn. Just some prick ass too stupid to realize an entire MACHINE leaded him and the members of their "organization". It's literal past American life satire of letting a TV tell them things.

Who? Autumn? His strength doesn't come from bruting his way through problems. It's his influence from his charisma and intelligence. Though I can see how that's boring from a gameplay perspective in a game that has nothing to do with a RTS style cause and effect.

@@midgetman4206 I get your point. Tho I don't really see Autumn's charisma....even his "aickseint" sounds annoying and I feel would give southern folks a bad name. I actually like the accent. And he is ruining them. Which might be the point. To hate him. And I wonder how influential can he be with a robot in command saying all orders and that the laser and plasma weapons their organization strap on would for sureeee have nothing to do with it.

​@@brofistbroBecause he doesn't have charisma or intelligence. His charisma is his privileged upbringing and the two heavies he has with him and his intelligence, as you said, comes from an AI. The guy was overambitious and desperate, shooting an unarmed scientist because they didn't give him what he wanted.

yeah and how well does that turn out for them

​@@Feasco You can see the state America is in during the Fallout series lol

I don’t think it needs a remake but a remaster with better UI and some quality of life changes would be good cause I tried to get into fallout 1 but it’s just to outdated you one

@@sundancetitan5675 nah a next gen 3d remake would be the best fallout game ever if done properly

@@jacobbradley5629 nah cause the gameworld in 1 is too small for a 3D game you know

@@sundancetitan5675 it would be smaller yeah but still an amazing fallout game and what if they add in all the cut content and maybe some stuff of their own

@@jacobbradley5629 no it wouldn’t, not everything needs a modern remake because your mind is too feeble to understand them.

You are just OP, other characters are obliterated by Lanius

Fight the legate sober with a bumper sword, only way to do it

On what difficulty? Lol, on Very Hard the Legate Lanius eats mini nukes for breakfast.

@@beanarator249I forget… I think I was either playing on medium or hard because I wanted to get accustomed to the older fallout feel Also, don’t have any DLCs so I guess I’ll just keep strafing

That's how it would actually go for most of the legion

Yep, and one of the few entities in the Fallout series that canonically has a 10 in all SPECIAL stats. He is truly a god amongst man. Even Lanius wouldn't start that fight.

@@fireheart8878 nah lanius would definitely fight him but get fucked up in the process

@@fireheart8878 the general of the minutemen would gladly go for the throat

Frank horrigan's exact canonical size isnt officially confirmed by the developers but Frank's 12 feet size is a fan-made measurement and is widely accepted within the fallout community

@@fireheart8878lanius’s stat spread ain’t bad though, he’d definetly put up a good fight against frank. One swing of lanius’s sword can send a power armor user flying, so he’s no pushover

Only if they make them actually good. Imagine if they shrink Frank from a goddamn walking mountain armed like a tank to slightly taller dude.

Well, Father is a sheltered brat who thinks he's the only smart person in the room, and Maxon is a ride-or-die, ad victorium shouting madlad, so it kinda makes sense you cant convince them. And in Dez's case, her people kinda have a goal that doesnt particularly align with another faction, the exception being the Minutemen, if you try to save synths

To be fair to Lanius, he is only temporarily retreating to make sure their army is actually ready to properly occupy the mojave and not make the mistake the NCR did

It is, dedicated to his work. Only to be revealed that it wouldn’t work out the way he intended for
