You're telling me that after years of imagining Nate as a lil dorky dude he's actually been a bit of a daddy this entire time?

I love the concept of blowing up Megaton to solve the water issue. "Oh, you've returned. Have you completed your mission?" "Yep, they won't be drinking radiated water anymore!" "Great, here's your rewa-" *BoS person bursts through the door* "THE BOMB WENT OFF, THE BOMB IN MEGATON DETONATED!"

I was amused by Mother Curie calling the Brotherhood Knights "angels". There's a different chapter of power-armored warriors who usually bear that title.

Every time Nate pronounces the T in Apostles a puppy dies

If anyone is interested in doing a good deed for the day, the Fallout Out of Context Twitter account owner's father has recently had some health issues and any support would be appreciated! www.gofundme.com/f/shannons-heart-transplant-fund?member=25417677

This connection might be talked about in the video, but in case its not, i'd like to mention there seems to be a weird connection between Ghouls and Lorenzo Cabot, and by extension, the Children of Atom. If you choose to side with Lorenzo Cabot, you can find him wandering the Wasteland, examining the bodies of 3 sentient Ghouls he just killed out of curiosity. He remarks that their "radiation syndrome" shares striking simularities with "my own condition" so...considering that we know Lorenzo's genetics was changed due to exposure to the Ancient Alien Crown, the species who supposedly created Humanity... Perhaps things like Ghouls are intentionally placed resistances to radiation poisoning placed in some Human Genetics by the Ancient Aliens? Perhaps the Children of Atom have the same genetic gift, but at a higher frequency, with Lorenzo only having it at its purest form? Even Feral Ghouls are surprisingly non-hostile to the Capital Wasteland Children of Atom Branch...

Actually, the game does consider the "unfixable amount of karma" a very fixable thing, since there's a rather hidden dialogue choice only available if you blew Megaton, but have very good karma by the time James asks you about what happened at Megaton: Normally you can outright tell him you did it or try lying about it, in which case he will say h doesn't believe you and instead express disappointment at you. However, if you have very good karma by the time this conversation takes please, he will express relief and say he knew you weren't capable of something like that, in other words, he will believe your lie... Also, there's a unique scenario where you can accept to blow Megaton, but finish the Tenpenny Tower quest in favor of Roy Phillips, which will result in a most unusual scene where apparently Mr Burke fought his way to the top of the tower to confront Roy. Ultimately they will agree to join forces, but Mr. Burke says he first needs to finish his previous job, and then proceed to ask you to blow Megaton.... despite Tenpenny being dead by this point.

In our own Universe, Atomic power very early on took on a dangerous connotation. Various accidents combined with the ever present fear of nuclear destruction in an atomic war, led to many trying their best put but anything atomic related out of their minds. In the Fallout Universe, it is VERY different. In the intro cinematic to Fallout 4, Nate describes how the world completely embraced the potentials of the atomic, in all its forms. Even Nate's voice as he describes the the potentials for atomic energy and science takes on an almost reverent quality, as if even while rehearsing his speech he can't forget the possibilities past, present, and future that atomic science can and has provided. What I getting at, is that, in the Fallout Universe, by 2077, the people have been living with a great and ever expanding respect and gratitude for the atomic sciences. Its power runs their homes, fuels their cars, activates their robots, moves their war machines, protects their food and heals their bodies. While in the real world we have embraced some atomic science that we can make as safe as humanly possible, the Fallout Universe embraced anything and everything that atomic science could do, even the potentially unsafe, leading to bigger and better breakthroughs. Simply put, even the average, everyday person Pre - Great War had a near reverence and love of the atomic that we in the real world have all but shunned. So I find it not so crazy to believe that even before the Great War, there might be religions or cults that saw atomic science as a force from a god or gods, and worshiped it. And sense it would seem that that the potentials and realities of gods and aliens are real in Fallout; that those entities might use atomic science for their own ends in their interactions with Humanity, would seem to be an easy path to accomplishing their goals.

Curie the Third's voice actor fuckin nailed it. Her initial hello and saying how, "I hope the others haven't given you any trouble" genuinely made me smile.

You didn't mention a few really interesting things. 1) Sister Mai says that "the Glow" doesn't harm most of the inhabitants, but some need anti-rad meds. 2) If you go to the crater after Far Harbor you get different dialogue options 3) Robes of Atom's Devoted can confer total rad immunity.

Sometimes I do wonder if a lot of decisions are actually clever storytelling or not. Bethesda has a track record of really good environmental storytelling, and I think it’s really easy to default into saying it’s laziness because it’s a big company. But I do think plenty of things line up well enough that they aren’t just coincidence

I always wondered why Megaton was a crater if the bomb didnt detonate. I live in South Carolina, one of many southern states that have had Broken Arrow incidents, and they dont generally leave craters.

Thank you for all your hard work and effort that goes into making these lengthy videos, it’s truly appreciated!

i like how if you bring fawkes to the purifier and have him activate it the game throws it in your face and calls you selfish

Also, my Crazy Theory about the eldritch horrors of the Fallout universe is this: The Fallout 76 cultists and the Dunwich corporation and stuff were worshipping one entity, which was about to come into the world and take over, but the nukes fell just before it could. This would be the weird entity who's tooth sword you find at the bottom of Dunwich Borers. Anyways, that entity is actually at war with Atom, who blew up the world to save it in an example of the Godzilla Threshold trope. The Great War, destructive as it was, pales in comparison to the havoc a fully realized eldritch horror could wreak.

My headcanon is that the reason radiation acts so weird and unscientific in the Fallout universe (what is essentially spicy light in our universe vs. Ghouls and Super Mutants in Fallout) is because of the eldritch god Ug-Qualtoth, and maybe Atom is either a separate god (like how there are multiple gods in the Cthulhu mythos) or simply a false identity used by the eldritch monster to better influence humans Ghoulification

I appreciate the revised closed captions upon release, it makes your content accessible to deaf and hard of hearing folks like me 😊

The conversation with Maries mom at 1:06:24 killed me. “That means kidnapping this baby is the key to ruling this city. Yoink!” 😂😂

Hey nate, ive been subbed your channel for the past 6-7 years, and i cant tell you how much i appreciate you coming back and doing in depth dives into your older content. Alot of youtubers will just move forward and not think about what their old limitations did to impact their videos. I just want to tell you how much i appreciate you going back and taking videos that were already very engaging and stirring, and delivering even more of your passion, knowledge and effort. Keep up the fantastic work nate. Youve always been awesome! ❤

No one Nate: delopidaded Also nate: aposdels of atom

I agree that Ysolde's anti-radiation aura is likely a game mechanic just to let you listen to her dialogue without dying from ambient radiation.

That musical connection is definitely something to look into, as musical connections like that are very rarely coincidental. If you're able (and I myself am not) to do so, try overlapping the tracks of the Mother and Mothman so the synth notes play as close to simultaneously as possible, but don't change the pitches or anything like that. I think there's a distinct possibility for the overlapping tracks to reveal something that your research into both Dunwich and the Children of Atom may have previously missed.

The 't' in Apostle is silent.

The children of Atom are written so well. They capture the absurdity of religion perfectly.

Another two hour lore video? Count me IN!

There's something strange about Pickman's art with how it focuses on eyes, strange glyphs in the sky, arms reaching for the sky, and other things. Also, his place is near Cabot House. Could there be a connection of sorts?

Currently working on a minutemen general character, a saviour for the commonwealth, and my plan was to have him eventually go insane from the initiation ritual in Far Harbor. The implication of Ug'qualtoth behind the violent chapter of Atom just takes it sooooo much deeper for me 🥴 just think, a shining beacon of a man putting the commonwealth back together, only to unify them all under the church of Atom, which itself is unknowingly being used by an eldritch deity to irradiate and ghoulify its own following ... Humanity's greatest compassion blinded by Atom's light leaving only the unknown darkness, sealing mankind's fate for eternity ... I love this game.

All this time, *Nate was Jesus Christ.

i swear, Football Head is the best song to loop and use for fallout videos

if I remember rightly if you go to the Crater and talk to Ysolde after joining the Children of Atom at Far Harbour there is a option to introduce yourself as being from that "chapter" and she will welcome you as a fellow Brother/Sister - not much changes other then she sometimes address you as that.

Nates one of those KZfaqrs where I've the biggest respect for his work. It's so awesome and good to watch and listens to him. I hope, he will do an podcast or something like that in the future. I love that voice

I followed after the Dunwich video, partially cause the Dunwich storylines are legit one of my favs in Fallout, but i just gotta say i love the semi casual vibe of your videos. Makes it feel like more of an exploratory discussion even if im not saying anything. Not everyone needs to have the gravitas of a Lore Keeping Librarian, and you still manage to keep things fun to listen to, lol.

Glory to Atom!

As someone who spends way, way too much time picking every nuance out of this universe's lore, thank you! This was an absolute treat to watch, and I'll be sharing it with some fellow Fallout friends later today. And, as someone who thinks you're really onto something, here's a few things I've noticed myself: -The confessor in Far Harbor is wearing a chest piece made of the same oxidized copper as the giant heads that are found all over the Fallout universe, including the bottom of Lucky Hole Mine. -The heads all wear headpieces that bear a striking resemblance to the helmet of Lorenzo Cabot. -Children of Atom in Fallout 4 are about the only ones that use the gamma guns. Mothman cultists can also be found firing gamma guns even though few other enemies use that weapon. They also wear very similar-looking hide/leather clothing. -Children of Atom worship radiation and are legitimately not affected by radiation. Similarly, the Dim Ones worship the red-eyed Moth, and it never attacks them but instead can often be found sitting calmly among them. -The glowing one at the top of the Kingsport lighthouse seems very similar to the Mothman cultists' ritual to illuminate the Landview Lighthouse to call the Mothman. -Big similarities in ideology between the Mothman tomes in Point Pleasant's church and the Great Division cut scriptures from Fallout 4 that you mentioned. -Fallout 76 has a Charisma card that allows you to cure nearby teammates of rads if you're irradiated. In addition, there is a card to raise radiation resistance to a very high amount, and a mutation that will give you a chance to explode in radiation when attacked. Lastly, "bloodieds" in 76 are builds based on more rads essentially making you more dangerous, characterized by high damage but low resistances based on an extremely debuffed health bar due to a high radiation count. Considering the end goal of Atomites is to become ghoulified, this would seem like a mechanical demonstration of the steps and/or abilities along to that goal. Add in the effect Ysolda has in Fallout 4 on the player, and it really starts to get weird. -We know the denizens of Appalachia did travel to the Pitt after the Great War. Baby Marie in Fallout 3's the Pitt DLC seems to have had Starched Genes, an aspect in Fallout 76 meant to prevent mutation and usually used to 'lock in' mutations without acquiring more. -In 76's the Pitt, in the yard of the Foundry mission, there's a room that's full of the bottle lights exactly like that of the Children of Atom in Fallout 4. -Children of Atom lamps look like they're filled with a very familiar glowing yellow liquid in Fallout 76 that's used to summon the Mothman... bioluminescent fluid. Drinking it will incur 1 rad. -The Landview Lighthouse is a guaranteed spawn for multiple feral ghouls that mill and sleep around the property. -Far Harbor is full of the same dry and wilted vines we find in various Moth-related locations around Appalachia. -South, slightly southeast of Vault 76, between the Moonshiner's Shack and the Isolated Cabin I believe (about where the cow picture is on the map), there's an unmarked and very weird little location with a bunch of thorned, dead vines grown up around one of the Mothman effigies. On the ground, there's a bunch of corpses, including that of a Dim One. If you duck next to the vines and look through them, everything on the other side has the same weird shimmery effect as the vision during Atom's vision quest in Fallout 4. This unmarked location is eerily close to the Landview Lighthouse. -In 76, strangler vines lifted Tanagra town right out of the ground. At the top of Tanagra town, there's a cavern with another head in it. To the northwest, very close to Tanagra town, there's an abandoned waste dump full of radioactive barrels. -Father Charles of the Moth Enlightened seems to be a Psyker that's gone mad with the knowledge, but the stuff he rambles always sounds creepily like any number of characters from Lovecraft's works that have had their minds scrambled by an eldritch abomination. -In Lucky Hole Mine, there's a note 'His Birth', talking about him being the 'firstborn of the wood', and blood weeping from his branches to share his knowledge. Could be the Mothman or it could be whatever eldritch thing they worship down there, but it's weird that both the Cultists and the Atomites have references to trees giving knowledge. -The Interloper, which is also at the bottom of the mine, is a giant tentacle/vine monster created in Vault 94 when the GECK was violently destroyed, releasing a ton of radiation (and god knows what else as it was a terraforming device loaded with all sorts of genetic blueprints, apparently). If the vines in the Mire are connected to the Interloper, and they're known as Strangler Vines, that would presume a connection between the Interloper and the Strangler Heart. If it's as prevalent underground as above, that's truly dizzying for how huge this thing must be. A horrifying half-alive monstrosity that stretches alive, dead, and all states in-between across and underneath all of Appalachia, like a... Deep... monster... thing... Deep One. Or something. It should also be noted that Lucky Hole Mine is on *direct* opposite side of the map from Vault 94 down the Savage Divide. The Divide itself seems to render the vines dry and brittle without the moisture of the mire/bog, which are more prominently radioactive areas of the map. -There's a misshapen, dead Interloper called "the Visitor" in the kaleidopore tunnels of the Deep, outside of the Communist Listening Post below the Whitesprings. It's got some weird black stuff rising from it, a lot like the black smoke aura from Mothman. -In Lovecraft's work, many of the characters either were emotionally or mentally compromised before their encounter with the eldritch, or as a result of. It was also established as part of Lovecraft's lore that those with weak or compromised minds, or those of inferior genetic makeup, were more susceptible to being manipulated by these beings. I know Lovecraft was extremely bigoted and narcisstic, and he used his prejudice as the basis of some of his lore, but moving away from that rather loaded take, Bethesda might still be using this aspect of the lore. Here's how: -By completing 76's Mothman Equinox event multiple times, one is able to progressively open six religious tomes spread across two locked cases located inside the church in Point Pleasant. The catcheism of Hilary has a passage that says: "While the mad were called to their chthonic master, we spurned the slavery of the unliving." As the verse before speaks directly of Dim Ones, is this a reference to the Dim Ones still residing in Lucky Hole mine? A mine full of lead, which is known to cause madness in humans? Humans who we've been told time and time again in Lovecraft's lore that when weak-willed, are very susceptible to the machinations of supernatural beings? Beings that might reside in the deep places of the Earth? That you'd be closer to in, I dunno, a mine? -The giant heads found all over are green because they're oxidized copper. There's pipes of the same material running through the mine, which are presumably the same age as the heads. It really doesn't make sense for modern humans to have made pipes out of copper, as we now know that long-term or high-dose exposure to copper can be toxic, causing depression, irritability, sinus irritation, headaches, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, liver damage, and kidney disease. -Now, for the unliving reference... During the Mothman Equinox, Cultist High Priests control other beings to attack you, denoted by a red aura of tiny moths around the controlled creatures. These priests are especially concentrated where there are high amounts of feral ghouls. I feel like this is referencing that specific ability, perhaps granted them by some eldritch entity or entities masquerading as the red-eyed Moth to the Dim Ones. It would seem to me that humans who are still whole in body but so neurologically deteriorated as to be completely without any reasoning of their own would be the perfect tools of some eldritch abomination. Unrelated, probably: -THE HEADS HUM in Lucky Hole. Seriously, go listen with headphones. It's creepy. -Pipe is life: there's a randomly appearing ominous pipe in 76. Selecting it makes the pipe hum in a way to denote it's buried *very* far underground, and it makes the world vibrate and turn funny colors. Like a temporary boon for huffing the fumes of some deep eldritch thing, lol. IDK, probably not related, but when I first saw the copper pipe in Lucky Hole Mine, the random event was the first thing I thought of.

I really enjoyed this as I couldn’t ever put the pieces of this story together this was really helpful to the lore behind them. Great video great work

1:07:05 You neglected to mention the 3rd option:Eat The Baby. You need the cannibalism Perk, but you can actually Eat the Baby, which is just insane.

I can’t imagine the time and energy that goes into a video like this. Constantly impressed! The only thing is… the ‘t’ is silent is ‘apostles’

Just when I was looking for a longer video to watch during my gaming, Nate uploads this. Great start to the day.

I would love to see a "biggest mysteries covered by this channel that have been solved" or where are they now style video sometime in the future if that sounds fun to put together, might be interesting to go back and see how theories have held up over time for things that have been solved or had major progress over the years

I love these long videos. The in depth investigations are like a long documentary. Well done!

I think the idea of Dunwich Borers using Mini Nukes as blasting caps as a somewhat reasonable idea as Mini Nukes have about 2x the power of a Frag Grenade. So not to awfully dangerous to use, but super expensive. So maybe they were attempting to say they were testing it as option to which the Army colonel at Fort Strong would say sure.

You're here putting out _film_ - length lore breakdowns of videogame trivia. Goodness gracious, we are lucky to have you!

This is a fantastic video. You must have spent an incredible amount of time on this. As someone whose interested in Fallout and Religion, seeing these two interact was awesome. You're amazing

You know, the main outer god Azathoth of H.P. Lovecraft's mythos is supposed to be an omniversal being credited with making all realities. It is also often referred to and referenced as 'The Nuclear Chaos'. (For very obvious reasons.) I very much wonder if there could be any small connections there.

I believe you never did specify what was wrong with the periodic table puzzle, excuse me if I missed it. Interestingly, Molybdenium is not the 99th element, it is the 42nd. The REAL 99th element is Einsteinium, making the true passphrase "Esther." No clue what that means, but it's surely intentional, there's no way Bethesda just accidentally forgot what elements are what numbers.

I love that you're still making fallout and specifically FO4 videos, it's recently become my hyperfixation and this kind of content makes it all better

I have so much respect for all the hard work you put into these videos. Been playing fallout and skyrim for years like many others and didn't know half the stuff I've learnt from watching your channel!

I like them because they're a faction unique to the east coast that could go on to have alot of influence, and could go in many directions. It is exciting to see a decently written faction from Bethesda fallout

Dude I love your lore video. Been watching them for years. Thank you for the hard work. I know this long video take time and it shows the hard work you do. Thank you again.

I find it cool at one point someone described people in power armor as "Angels"

I've played a ton of Fallout 3, NV, and 4 and you still show me new things that I haven't found or just straight up missed. Thank you for all of your hard work and for keeping the love for Fallout alive and well.

Tbh, I think Fo3's weird character models actually work to tell a weird "nonliteral" story, like people look older than their age because that's how their new age correlates. Like the "oldest woman" in Megaton is in her mid 60s, I have had two grandma's hit late 80s early 90s. If 60 is the new 90, making 40 look 60 visually shows that. (Not that I'm saying they did it on purpose, just a funny coincidence)

Best Nate video ever. Incredibly thorough and I feel we have finally been given in depth and impartial anwsers. Thank you nate, piper would be proud, truly a devoted reporter!

The town in Lovecraft's story "The Dunwich Horror," is pronounced "Dun'ich," the "w" being palletized, which is typical of rural New England communities. The Dunwich in the Fallout Universe may be pronounced the way you pronounce it. I just thought you'd like to learn this trivia.

I know it's not the same religious group as the Children of Atom but I'm surprised you didn't mention the Bright Brotherhood in New Vegas with all the similarities between the two followings. They had a non-feral glowing one that was trying to lead ghouls of all sentience to a holy land like Moses to Jerusalem, but with rockets. Though I'm sure there may have not been much to go off of with them to warrant their mentioning. Still, they were in the back of my mind while listening to your lore delving.

Nate’s videos are always a buried treasure that I love stumbling upon and watching. 10/10 recommended

ive watched this 5 times and still havent made to the end, im asleep by the intermission. best rest ive gotten in a long time! shout out to Flamingosis for the funk, and shout out to Nate for having the calmest, most relaxing voice in modern narration history!

I’ve watched this off and on for about a week now while eating dinner every day. I loved this long in depth video.

I always like hearing about things hidden in the game files. So many things they thought about but cut or just decided not to pursue further.

I love these lengthy episodes as much as I love the shorter ones. They both scratch different itches for me. I listen to your videos as well as the spiffing Brit to fall asleep but I also still learn as I rewatch your videos so I end up seeing it all over a few nights. Hopefully this could even be a full time thing for you. I can tell you love this. And I can’t wait for the year (although I may be waiting a long time) for ES6 videos from you

Another great video @TheEpicNate315 keep up the great long form informative invesetigations into lore. (btw the T is silent in apostles)

What if Bethesda doesn’t even realize they’re connecting all these factions to ug qualtoth, and ug qualtoth is actually using the writers and developers to spread its influence throughout the games?

All of the mines/quarries in Fallout are covered in Limestone. If you get the Vault 88 add-on you will be have to travel to Quincy Quarry and go deep underground. Unsurprisingly everyone in there in vault 88 are suffering from high radiation poisoning. Only the Overseer hasn't turned feral. After digging out more and more Limestone you will find pockets of untouched Uranium veins. Although other quarries lack these veins, you could imagine what they would have looked like before everyone got "Uranium Fever" as the song goes. When scrapped, it can be used as nuclear material and provide nuclear power to the vault. Further investigating the vault you will encounter highly radiated mole rats, feral ghouls, radscorpions, mirelurks, Queen Legendary Deathclaws, which have been living surrounded by limestone and uranium for 200 years. Beneath the Dunwich Building (FO3 1:37:04) you see a statue they're worshiping which looks like a tall obelisk. We've seen pillars like this before. In the middle of Bunker Hill there is a tall obelisk. The Bunker Hill that's right next to the Atom camp. The one Piper said had to be "cleaned up" (52:50). Ornate Obelisks was a pre-War company that manufactured stone obelisks and the supplier of their stone was Thicket Excavations. Thicket Excavations ordered materials from companies located in Rockville and Damascus, Maryland. Damascus was home to the company "Pillar Pushers". These companies and locations are mentioned at the Thicket Excavations (I think?). If they have connections to the Children of Atom, they may have viewed the sites as holy as it contained raw Uranium aka Atom's Blessing. It may have been part of their rituals to test everyone in Atoms name. The worthy stay alive while the heathens perish. Maybe they believed that the limestone could retain the radiation, which it can in real life, and be used as a beacon to spread radiation to anyone in the area. That then brings into question the other site at the lighthouse which again is a pillar of white stone containing the radioactive ghoul at the top. They could make obelisks into holy objects Maybe thats what the point of the faces are for. They believe if they build it and put enough radiation into it, it will possess the spirit of Atom and come to life?

I'd be interested in seeing a full investigation into Vault-Tech. That would be amazing. Keep up the good work!

A good saturday morning with some mates and a long video of EpicNate, this can't be better

Nothing more exciting than logging into youtube to see a fresh epicnate video. Another gem in the catalog.

Yea they do keep getting weirder and weirder 😅 Despite how weird they are, I really do find the Children of Atom really interesting, thanks for doing a more in depth look in to what they’ve been up to Nate !

Thanks for the awesome video, Nate. You're the only creator I have my notifications on for since I know every time you upload is a banger. Keep up the good work, I love the extra long video format.

To be fair to bethesda, some characters looking older is feasible. Stress causes visible aging in people, and the wasteland would no doubt be stressful even if its all youve known

The absurd amount of charm these videos have is crazy

I was about an hour in before I realized this was a 2 hour video. Fascinating subject. Has me hooked.

this man has been COOKING since the last iceberg upload! i cant wait to get comfy and get lost in the world of fallout yet again. thanks nate for your awesome work this past year!

28:07 Mother Curie: "You must have made quite the impression on Brother Gerard!" Lone Wanderer: "... Right. Yes. That's what happened." Brother Gerard, meanwhile, was a fine red mist sprinkled on the monastery's entrance.

What about the Jalbert brothers site in fallout 4? As for the ghostly mother character, I always wondered if perhaps she was using a stealth boy, but we were seeing her radiating radiation and not the actual her but rather her glow as well as the dead patches where she isn't so much. Think the feral ghoul reavers in fallout 3. Not as illuminated as the glowing ones, obviously but still some there.

Gotta love these lore videos. Helps me understand and try to sympathize with these groups more

Nate, I know its been a long time since your break but thank you for being back. I cannot express to you how much I love your content and what it means to me. Thank you!!!!

This is probably my most favorite thing about fallout. Just the amount of lore and things you can find. I sure hope FOL gets as much care and detail!

I always really enjoyed listening to you talk about Fallout! & Elder Scrolls!! You do it in such a way as to make me more often than not, feel as if Fallout & Skyrim etc are Real, and places that You, Myself & many others have ventured to and are constantly investigating and discussing its many numerous possibilities and outcomes!? Great Stuff!

I listen and re listen to these videos at night like a podcast. The lore is always fun to listen to. You do an awesome job. Just wish they came out faster! Keep up the good work.

Not related to this video so much (as I’m currently watching it) but I’ve recently been playing through fallout 4 again since it’s launch. I discovered your channel during this time and have now watched most of not all of the fallout related videos. Your delivery of information, dedication, and creation of such long videos has made the experience of playing all the better. Thank you for another video and all of the previous ones! Looking forward to this one too

I love your videos, i watch them during lunch breaks - takes a few days, but im always hype to see what else you bring up. but most of all, it makes me realize how UTTERLY OBLIVIOUS i am with the game. holy smokes, thank you for washing my head :D

Great videos! I really mean it. They are long but the perfect thing to listen to in the background while playing FO. Very in depth and intriguing. That being said, they way you say "apostles" is like nails on a chalkboard🤣 you have a lot of fun with the t in apostles

I'm an Elder Scrolls guy who has only played a little bit of Fallout, but these videos make me want to try again

Didnt Deacon have a line about when he was in DC that it's home to an insane cult (I assume the Children of Atom) and even ends with "thanks guys!" ? which seems to imply that the commonwealth branches are either directly from DC or at the very least came from the same-ish direction

Worth the wait every single time

I love this. I fell asleep to it in the middle and dreamt that the questline with lady of the fog is so much bigger (in my imagination you could conspire to get her to power, help the psycho confessor or return the old disillusioned confessor back) woke up, watched to the end, kinda disappointed 😂 Nice closure with the camp though. Tremendous work overall, cannot wait for you to get to the New Vegas ❤

Thank you Nate! Please never shy away from long videos. I love super long format videos, they allow so much more detail and I really love diving into them :)

So excited to watch this to wind down tonight! I’ve been waiting for a new video 😊

These long form videos are really doing for me, podcast style. Also DAMN NATE! I'm pretty sure I saw a statue of Zeus that looked like you!

I'm having so much fun with these theories pleaseeee keep it up

I am absolutely loving these 1+ hour videos. Keep them up 😃

Love Calder's work. Nice to see all their hard work come together.

Time stamps would be hella nice for these longer vids. I love the vids. Keep it up.

totally been enjoying....this was a great deep dive.. Thanks

Perhaps Isolde’s radiation mystery is a form of absorbing the rads? Like ghouls do, maybe implying that the Children themselves are undergoing a similar biological change. Isolde’s absorption could be a similar mutation to baby Marie, or the Ghouls, where the Ghouls can feed on rads, perhaps she can feed on it as well, also providing a reason as to why Isolde can ‘absorb’ the rads, without ghoulifying.

Your videos are so amazing, keep it up man love these long format videos

KZfaq straight up did not show this vid in my notifications even tho i have the bell on? Love ya stuff Nate !

Perfect for a long treadmill sesh. Thank you 🙏

I’ve never played any of the fallout games but I’ve watched all of your lore videos because I love your Skyrim stuff so much. This puts me in the weird position where I know a lot about all of the wildest stuff in the game, but don’t know what you do in the main quest.
