When you think about it, this Sole Survivor became Kellogg, he was defenseless to help his wife, lost his son, and now has lost care for anyone but himself, and he even has the outfit

Directed by Hideo Kojima

Man dropped the hardest fallout 4 edit and disappeared. What an absolute legend.

“It was a mistake leaving him alive. I understood that kind of revenge.” Maybe one of the hard hitting quotes for me.

Someone call Bethesda and get this person involved for fallout 5

There should be a bad ending in the game where you get everyone to hate you including the dlc characters and when you go back to vault 111 you see this

"That person....it feels like they're drifting away" Oh...oh god it hurts

-"everyone hated that" -"Strong gives you a thumbs up" -"Dogmeat barks"

Lemme sum this up. Eight. minutes. Of. Pure. Heartbreaking. Emotion.

" I'm already a demon, heaven was never my kind of place anyway..."

"After what you've done"? - "You didn't see it! The way I did"... - "You know I'm starting to wish I never met you"! - "People don't change"! - "I woke up"... - "You're making us look like monsters out here"!!! - "You dragged us down to THEIR level"! - "I saw them take you"... - "It was.. your job to protect them".

Imagine playing as Nora and you’re asleep and you hear Nate say “It was YOUR job to protect him”.

"I dreamed of you as an adult for so long ... Here you are! And I'm so .. disappointed." - "As. Am. I." Gosh that's grim .. This video is fantastic.

You are so talented!

Alternative universe that Fallout4 directed by Hideo Kojima

It's been 4 years since this came out and it's still a masterpiece.

Moral of the story, the Wasteland is not a place for heroes, it chews them up and spits them out.

this is MGS5 level cutsences

This video is still a masterpiece after 6 years.

Finally Someone who understands the dark tragedy of the Lone survivor. A true marvel of storytelling from a small fan video that's 8 minutes long. Brilliant. just Brilliant

“Cutscenes aren’t possible in a Bethesda game!”

Not the Fallout we needed, but the Fallout we deserved.....

Imagine if fallout 4 was about this: the effects of a destroyed world on someone who was thrown from a nice one into one of pain and suffering; as they finally succumb to the cruelty and rage of this new world.

"I woke up... I saw them take you... I couldn't stop them. I couldn't do anything." "And you failed." That line still gives me chills to this day. This is a cinematic masterpiece, even though you might be limited by the Fallout 4 engine or whatever camera tools you use, you still used them to create something that is breathtaking, and tells more of a story than Fallout 4 itself does. This has always been one of my favorites, I'm still coming back to it three years later!

The lone survivor is a testament to what this game should have been. The stress from a traumatic experience of loosing not one but two loved ones on top of the fact that that the world you once knew is gone is more than enough to break the strongest of men. This plays on the thought of losing your family and not being an emotionless brick but actually being human... In the end the stress and trauma break us all and they will eventually cause us to show our truest form... for the sole survivor it was unfortunately evil.

The lines of dialogue you chose for this video are so emotional, I wish moments like this were in the game and not just the dialogue, but music and fully animated cutscene, this is a masterpiece

I've played countless playthroughs of Fallout 4. The one playthrough where I based my characters decisions/personality on the sole survivor in this video, was BY FAR the absolute best. Really got the most emotional moments possible that way.

One by one the hero drives his friends away, one way or another. The good man goes to shadow, and in his place a mirror image of what he once fought against appears. Just as fuelled by a vengeance which cannot be sated. Just as self-concerned. Just another survivor in the Commonwealth making it day by day, not by morals, but by his own need to survive, even if that means pushing everyone else away to do so. So he doesn’t feel weak. So that he doesn’t have a conscience. Just so he can survive.

This is so emotional, I think I understand the story your trying to tell. When the Sole Survivor first came out of that Vault, he was still a good man. For in-game months, maybe even a year, he tried to hold onto his morals, remember where he came from and who he was. But in the end, the world finally got to him. He isn't evil and he isn't good or bad, he's just a survivor. Despite his condemnation of Kellog and his actions, it seems that the Sole Survivor has ended up as a near mirror image of Kellog, he even wears his outfit and uses his gun. It just goes to show, no man can stay good forever.

Fallout 4 The Phantom Pain

"You dragged us down to their level!" Was that Preston? Where do we hear that?

This was incredible

"We so easily accept whats presented to us as the truth" Damn

You know, people don’t give enough credit to all of the emotional voice acting in Fallout 4. When you romance a companion and then betray their trust you can actually here how scared, and almost violated they are because they opened up to you only for you to leave a hole in them. Ugh. These games make me feel ways I never thought I could.

If you ever get bored of Fallout 4 just watch this to get back into it.

This edit PERFECTLY portrays the character of The Sole Survivor. It’s in the name. He’s alone, he’s the only one who survived. Everyone in his family died, everyone else in the vault died, all of his COMPANIONS died. He was alone. The only survivor was Dogmeat, who is also a Sole Survivor in his own right. Nate/Nora experience so much trauma, and this encapsulates that PERFECTLY! It shows what a broken man looks like, not the stupid and silly archetypes they stylize the characters to be, but a human being with conflicting messages, goals, and tragedy. I wish they focused more on the story than the graphics and gameplay.

I play “Nate” as a broken man who has had everything taken from him and distracts himself by trying to make the commonwealth closer to the world he had once known. The only reason he hasn’t put a bullet through his head yet is solely because he is still needed by people to be the savior of the commonwealth as the general of the minutemen. For the brief moments he forgets his crushing grief he reverts back to how he was before the war; warm, caring, sarcastic, and generous. When he is alone with his thoughts he is morose, bitter, and depressed. In his office he quietly listens to the holotapes from his wife and his son while holding his beloved wife’s ring. He damn near snapped at Danse when he said he was taking his grief in strides. No one ever stops to look at the pillar hard enough to see the cracks.

Now THIS is the kind of deep, emotional experience this game should have conveyed. The Sole Survivor lost EVERYTHING, and yet somehow it doesnt feel like they care that much, or that we even have the option to lash out in anger and become an anti-hero. Also, Bethesda needs to hire this guy

This video has better storytelling than the actual game.

5 years later and I still come back to see this. Pandemic I've got no clue where you are but I hope it's somewhere fantastic and nurtures this kind of beautiful artwork.

"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"

I feel a MGSV Phantom Pain vibe for some reason.

Man, 3 years later and this is still one of the best pieces of content I've ever watched on youtube.

Anyone still come back to this?

Coddsworth, I'm already a demon. Seriously, though, this video is amazing. Just goes to show that emotional resonance isn't so much about what you tell, but how you tell it. Bethesda should take cue.

This was in my recommended for so long and I ignored it....My biggest mistake

imagine that at 6:44 instead of him waking up it just said FALLOUT 4 like it was a trailer

Whoops. Almost forgot to watch this masterpiece today.

How come when preston says "You dragged us down to their level!" I get goosebumps?

This is so heartbreakingly sad. It’s really shows how much of an effect Noras death and Shauns “disappearance” could’ve affected the sole survivor. Bethesda doesn’t really show how much it affected “Nate” to lose his wife and son, meanwhile this video gives total feels and makes you wanna cry your eyes out. So fucking well done. 😢❤️👏🏻

6 years late on this masterpiece, it seriously feels like Hideo Kojima of Metal Gear Solid fame created this and I mean that as the highest compliment. There are AAA companies who can’t touch this kind of quality. The emotion in this video was very unexpected but so awesome. Well done

With Emil dropping his funny lore tidbit about Nate being a war criminal, it only makes this portrayal more possible. Nate, after trying to move past the things he did during the war by living a normal life, only regressed once the bombs fell and he was thrust back into hell.

Handcock- "Theres no room for Angels in outer Heav- I mean the CommonWealth" Soul Survivor- "Im already a demon, heaven wasnt my kind of place anywa- Wait a second."

Powerful, Poetic, Deep, Well Animated. How the f*** does this not have 10 Million views?

When Nora says, "You don't remember, you didn't see it ... the way I did." Well, I know where that line of dialogue is from, but when you use it out of context, it's very strong and painful, as if it meant the day Shaum was snatched from her arms

The slow mental breakdown of the main character is totally canon in my book. Dude lost everything. Then we as players are just supposed to believe that he just shrugs it off. Naw I needed a dialogue or a cutscene like this at the end of the game.

Dude... I need a series based on your character! Would love to see another one of these based on "Hi Honey!"

you either die a hero. or live long enough to see yourself become the villian. this is a masterpiece. well edited indeed. makes you think about whats right and wrong in the wasteland.

The part where nick quotes poe gave me literal chills. This is the best thing I've seen in a while.

I’d pay to see the movie version of this “sole survivor”

“Nathan..” That last voice gave me chills. Nora calling out to her husband in a heartbreaking way after all that hell. Anyone else notice that?

Dude you should totally retell fallout 4 as like an animated TV series, it would be absolutely insane!

Such sadness. Such emotion. Omg Lord Jesus how many people feel this situation.

"you need to make thigs right! no more bullshit!! CHANGE!" Hancock I Love that line 😍

"What are you gonna do ? Walk away ? You don't get to walk away !" My exact reaction when the video ended. You are so talented, we want more ! Feed us moaaarrrrr !!!

When you have terrible companion affinity

The sole survivor is set way apart from the chosen one or the corrior or the vault dweller. His story has more emotion. Everything was taken from him so fast. He’s probably one of he only characters who had all the right to turn evil. And he did.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I really like the story fallout 4 was trying to tell. I think it just failed to convey the sadness of it. The sole survivor is one of the most tragic characters in fallout. They have had everyone and everything they ever loved ripped from them. Every person they knew before the war is long dead and the few that aren’t are ghouls. They watched their wife die in front of them and were powerless to do literally anything. And then they are forced to live in a cobbled together, violent husk of what was the world they knew. The game also poorly portrays just how broken they likely are, we also obviously don’t really know what happens to them after the end of the game and dlc. But you get what I’m saying. Just thinking about this stuff adds a lot of emotion to the game at least for me

Better usage of Fallout 4's storytelling than Fallout 4. Also why does this make me think of Venom Snake so much lol

"The pain of watching your family slip through your fingers, if I could see her just one last time." "But there's no going back." "I dreamed of you as an adult for so long. And here you are. And I'm so... disappointed." "As. Am. I." "Deep into that darkness peering. How long I stood there... wondering." "You think you're in pain now? I can make you bleed. Make you beg me for death." "After all this. After... everything you've seen. All that you've learned. You're just going to walk away?"

Preston is talking a lot of trash for a dude who basically dumped all his responsibilities onto a random stranger.

4 years later and still the best Fallout video. This has the emotional connection that lasts. Masterpiece.

Why are we still here?.....just to suffer?.....every night, I feel my sons loving touch, my wife, even the smells of a Saturday morning breakfast. It’s like it’s all still hurting, burning as bright as the day the bombs fell, like they’re all still there........

My man, this was worth the weight. This was epic and makes me want to play fall out 4 another run. Keep this glorious videos coming.

This masterpiece is almost five years old. I still have to come back to it every now and again.

This is actually one of the best animations I’ve ever seen

Yenno... I always thought the phrase “war never changes” was just somethin gettin thrown around fallout games as a way to connect them all with a lyrical standpoint. But this, this takes “war never changes” to a whole new level. That war was literally in his mind, in his dream, that war that is breaking him down more than he already is will never change. And wow. I never really appreciated the voice actors/actresses before but by god they’re really good. For once I’m glad they didn’t have a silent protagonist. Them on top of your incredible camera work and scenery and story telling make this a masterpiece. Definitely my favorite one out of the ones you’ve done so far and you’ve done some amazing works.

Can you imagine if this was the ending to Fallout 4?! That'd be dope as fuck!

The lone wanderer, he lost everything he held dear to him, his wife gone, his son died in front of him. His blind persuit of revenge and hate led him down a dark path of murder death and violence. He threw away all chances of love and friendship for the sake of his own hatred. Some say he lives isolated in the commonwealth only leaving to scavange the ruins. Others say he moved on and wanders the wasteland like a lost soul with no purpose. Some don’t even believe he’s still alive. His story will be told in diamond city and all the other settlements for a long time as a reminder that this wasteland can change you, but you must never lose yourself to it.

The MacCready and Valentine lines really hit me... I'm not crying...

I know this is a little deep but my brother committed suicide in July and fallout/skyrim was one of our biggest bonds. Hours of playing after losing him made me feel like he wasn’t gone, like he was watching me all along. Thank you for bringing the game to life

Sometimes the Monster your hunting turns out to be yourself

This made me rethink fallout 4’s story, amazing animation

6 years later and it still hits harder than my base game experience.

imagine if fallout was a new IP in 2017 and this was a teaser trailer, I'd be so hyped

When you end up becoming the monster, you sought to destroy.

No matter how many times I watch this, I still get astonished at how amazing it is. It makes me remember my past in an odd way. Way to go!

We turned into monsters to destroy the monster and we destroyed the monster, but when it was all over, we were the real monsters.

Man you actually made it look like the choices matter in fallout 4. You've not just created a masterpiece, you've done the impossible!

as someone who has poured 1000 into this game i think this should be the ending.

This legit made me tear up and reflect on my own life. The ups and downs, the goods and bads, the happy and sad, the friends and foes. Everything, and I'm not even 20 yet, life is just a vision played out by your actions, actions that carry weight, whether it be sacrificing yourself so that the Wasteland could have clean water, to unknowingly destroying an entire town taking its first breath, to deciding if you would destroy everything your son has accomplished. "The thing about happiness is that you only know you had it when it's gone." - Conrad Kellogg.

I watch this video from time to time to get me in a fallout depression mood

that hit me hard....

This is what it should have been. This is how the story should have been brought out. You were more or less a good guy, whatever faction you chose. Whatever we did i didnt feel like i was a "sole survivor" I didnt feel dispair at loosing shaun or the wife. The trauma and panic should have been overwhelming for the character but instead it all felt "meh". I love how this trailer shows the character starting out being his normal self and in the end being "overwhelmed", or even traumatized". Like the companions are saying and indicating. "It feels like you are starting to ignore me", "when we first met i saw you were different, but now you are angry" Great work on this, im in love with this trailer.

This helped inspire me writing this Have you ever thought of your memories and realized that you don’t hear, feel, see, or smell like that anymore? It’s almost alien, you will never experience things as they once were, are they even the same things anymore? That you don’t understand those very same things in the very same way anymore? As much as you’ve moved, the world hasn’t changed, or maybe you’re stuck and it has? How much have you changed? How much have you been perverted and bastardized? How much of it was inevitable? How much of it was preventable? As the world loses its luster, as the grass fades from the brightly colored greens of your youth, how do you cope with coming to the conclusions that reap hopelessness? Has the world showed its ugly face enough to you that you find it easier to recede back into the darkness? Do you crawl back into your memories, to a time that once was? Do you fall into a pit of despair juggling with what could never be, again or never was? Do you march on, soldierly? Do you face those very same demons you’ve carried along with you this whole time in your mind with the sword you’re not quite so sure is as sharp as it was anymore? Does your inevitable decay end in defeat and agony or glory and comfort? Does your story entail a life of triumphs or one of beckoning, but ultimately failing, hope? Is the world the monster trying to kill you or are you the monster plaguing this world?

That's crazy general, but another settlement needs your help.

Fastest I've ever clicked off porn.

PTSD is very serious and Nate has it for his time in the army and the bombs dropping. The Male character has been through so much and is bearing has any strength left.

this is probably one of my favorite videos of all time

Revenge can turn even the purest of hearts into monsters never let it take control
