Even then I decided not to judge him for it. We’ve all done and said stupid, petty or hurtful things when we were younger and he is no different. The modern Oxhorn is perfectly agreeable and… well yeah he’s male. I never was bothered by his mod choices. No, it was the near total end to the Fallout content that saw me drift away. Last thing I watched was some of his FO3 Metro series. And I lost interest in Fallout myself for a few months. But now I want to return as always.

[@BL00DYME55]

8:45 I really like this. A very common complaint with most Fallout games is that people wouldn't still live in ruins and horrible rusty shacks 200+ years since the war. 200 years is a very long time, and in reality most people would work on rebuilding and restoring civilization instead of living in houses with no roof and half the walls missing. So the fact that the Institute built so much in these 200 years is more accurate than most other cities in the wasteland.

[@D_U_N_E]

Not necessarily - building a house takes a lot of resources. 200 years is a long time, but factor in fallout circumstances, and it's not that much time. A large organisation that still has a lot of its industry, sure. A few individuals struggling with radiation, food, water and other violent individuals - and suddenly ruins are more likely than not. Look at many tribes that have experienced advanced human technology, but have no idea on how to replicate it. They are limited to their means and understanding. Say you go to the task of building a nice shelter, well now it sticks out from all the bad shelters, and raiders are more likely than not going to be attracted to it. There is usually a more efficient option available, but it costs time - which if time is a resource you don't have, intermediate options that have you eventually transition to the best options are logical. Diamond/Rivet City make sense - both have active threats that prevent their expansion, are using structures that are easily fortified, and with their time have tried to improve upon their shelter. Raiders/Mutants have killed many fledgling villages.

[@AirJordanJetson]

They dropped the ball on the institute. I didn't get to do anything I wanted with it, couldn't use the resources to better my settlements, couldn't improve relations with the Commonwealth, couldn't subjugate the Commonwealth, couldn't mass produce synth grenades or have them guard my settlements, could convince Father he was wrong (a staple of every other fallout), couldn't do anything.

[@sebastijanglozinic8630]

The writing for the Institute is a mess. Which is a huge shame, considering how much potential they had. In the end, it turns out the Institute does not even seem to have any real long term goal. Basically just get the reactor online and destroy the Brotherhood. Beyond that, we are not told anything. I truly still belive that the Institute is the best hope for humanity, it just needs a decent leader. So i was hoping that by siding with the institute and the Minutemen, my character could reform the Institute and truly be that hope for a better future at last. But we are told nothing about what happens after Fathers death.

[@leachimeel]

[@RabidHeadHunter]

[@nitzan3782]

I thought supermutants were just a franchise staple and the institute had a wing that experimented on them. But they are actually the worst and most evil villain in fallout. But the brotherhood seem worse in game. And the railroad only care about synths. The game is illogical. The brotherhood don’t even know that the institute are making the mutants.

Once I found the terminal with the list of informants, I found it rather ironic that a majority of the caravaneers you can meet and get to come to your settlements once you curry favour with Bunker Hill are informants- while, at the same time, Old Man Stockton, who *runs* caravans from Bunker Hill, is one of the Railroad's biggest assets.

[@meela1439]

My theory on that is the Institute sent gen 3 synths above ground as settlers traveling and most caravaneers are talkative trying to sell their wares.

[@anarchist-_-6962]

My questions about the institute is what are they using to reinforce the structure. Where did they get the material to build. Where did they dump the dirt. And being that close to a river the soil would be sandy or even clay. So many structural questions

[@refertopfp9627]

I imagine that the walls of the Institute are just very, very thick, so they don't need much extra internal support. As for the discarded dirt, sand, clay, etc., my best guess would be that they just dump it into the river.

[@denissorn]

You're asking structural questions about video game org that can teleport humans, where people use fusion (or fission) batteries to power cars, aliens exist etc. They just teleport the dirt and everything is reinforced with C++ and special materials extracted and made from the dirt, what would be possible if one could convert matter to energy so efficiently.

[@defalttheloner]

If Liberty Prime is to be trusted they use Communism in their construction, and the soil is more gravel and sand than clay

[@thenutella8846]

Yeah, i thought that too when I watched the video. How does a group of scientists/students in a basement have the time, tools, resources and ability to build all of that? Even with a century, that kind of stuff couldn't happen unless they had an extensive operation backed by a national government or massively wealthy corporation. Which really feeds into my head canon that the facility and the proto-institute was involved with vaultech or the u.s. government.

About the Institute's FEV lab, they started experimenting with FEV in 2178, I think, (its been awhile since I have played Fallout 4 ).

Now that I think about it what do the other factions do with their dead too? I mean, the minutemen are right next to the ocean and there has to be creatures in the ocean that would eat the dead if they throw bodies in there or they might do viking funerals but it's always something that bugged me about fo4.

Next time you see those half eaten, bloated aquatic creatures. Remember, Its a giant dolphin, with rabies.

[@TheoRae8289]

are we sure that's rabies?

[@Pjvenom1985]

Always good to see these type of Fallout lore videos pop up good sir.☘️🌅

[@kubekzpiciem]

The biggest mystery, how a bunch of students DUG anything and created anythign resembling bunker//laboratory without any outside help... right

[@MAIGA3]

I recently finished fallout for the second time and went with the Railroad on this playthrough. After the ending of the Railroad questline I found myself doubting if this was the right way. Inside of the Institute I even unlocked the perk that lets you pacify humans, to minimize the violence and killing. But even while pacified, the harmless scientist still got shot at by Railroad agents. It was a massacre and even though we later blew the whole place to smithereens it felt unnecessary to kill so many at that time. Now, after this video the feelings of regret arent as prominent as before, fuck the Institute.

[@chimera6485]

I had no idea what I was doing in my first playthrough and I went with the brotherhood route Now that was a slaughter....

[@Linki8uu]

@@chimera6485 I did to because fallout 3 was my first fallout and the brotherhood are the good guys and so I wasn’t even a teen when I played 4 and just instinctively went with the brotherhood I regret that decision and hate what they did to the brotherhood in 4

[@IAmDaDumb1]

@@Linki8uuI know this is like a year later but the brotherhood in 4 is way more accurate to how they’ve been in the rest of the series. The weird goody two shoes brotherhood in 3 was a total departure from their depiction in anything else

Omg, Danse even tells you he loves FancyLads 😂😢

[@SomeCanine]

Advanced systems also builds newer models of gen-3 synths like "Shaun" v2. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bethesda headcanon is that the protagonist was replaced by an advanced gen-3 prototype built in Advanced systems. They hint at this in the Far Harbor DLC.

Dude it looks like i woke up in 2017 again , Oxhorn doing another fallout lore video , a blessing upon humanity or whats left of it

[@SAMSARA1411]

Hey Ox, I was hoping you could maybe do a story/character profile on Codsworth, as a follow-up to your video of Nate and Nora. Though if not that is fine, I could understand why there wouldn't be much to go on, but if you could find a way that would be wonderful, I might even be surprised if there is enough to make a video on codsworth.

[@kevinloughnan4516]

I've always found your lore videos helpful for my playthroughs. On my current playthrough, I'm a Pre-war Crimson Dragoon who will side with the Institute. As always keep up the good work!

[@absynthminded]

15:18 Who was Strong? Why does Strong, nor any Super Mutant, remember anything about the process or who they were before? The sheer number of SM's defy the logic that 'every' SM was brought into being in the Commonwealth by the Institute. Math doesn't work at all.

[@meela1439]

Some of them vaguely remember: Lily from NV; Fawkes from FO 3; and I think Graham from FO 76 are among a few.

[@ajeezy8775]

That is kindof odd. I wondered the same thing upon meeting that one super mutant guy that sells you dogs in Far Harbor.

[@wintertrooper7918]

A lot of it is trauma

[@mikoto7693]

I suppose I’m not surprised that I knew all of these things already but FO4 is my favourite game and Fallout is my favourite game series. So I’ve been through it in detail and watched a lot of Oxhorn’s initial lore videos. Except for the Railroad holotapes though. I didn’t make the link between those taken to be replaced with Synths being given to the FEV lab to be tested. I suppose I assumed that they were just murdered. But being interrogated and experimented on as the disposal method makes sense.

[@adren42]

I do so love these fallout lore videos. It's why i subscribed to his channel, he has that voice that just fits so perfectly with this narrative style of videos!

[@paulwei6596]

Best Fo4 content that i haven't seen for years!

[@TheLastBabyMan]

But where DID the Institute get FEV? It was never explained.

[@wintertrooper7918]

Simple, vault-tec got it from the US military and the institute got a sample from vault-Tec

[@AusSP]

@@wintertrooper7918 Or the US military. The CIT getting employed to do military research is much more plausible than Nuka Cola. Not that we see any military involvement with the CIT.

[@blackwaltz3135]

years later and yet i still learn new things from your videos, and I've played fallout for years, Id never thought id find lore relevant things in places like garbage cans lol

[@renaigh]

Synthetic Pre-War Cows would've made for great spies.

[@mbrad9379]

YESSS Oxhorn is back!!! We love you man keep doing what you do!

[@Humongous420]

I must be a synth...I have never been able to get fat or gain much weight! Glad that mystery is solved! Now I can get back to endlessly eating junk food

[@clencheastwood1571]

Here's what I don't get. The Institute seems to have similar goals to the Railroad. They both want the people of the Commonwealth to accept synths. Why are they fighting each other? I mean, yes, the Railroad want the synths to be free, but they still have common ground and could at least try to come to and understanding. I wish there was a choice, if you side with the institute to try and make peace with the railroad, but, unfortunately, Obsidian didn't write the story of Fallout 4.

[@darthcarrots2581]

I think it’s hilarious that the Institute has such a strong superiority complex but they are all almost certainly inbreed by several generations. They all originated from the same handful of staff and students. So would they realistically be genetically superior to those who survived topside through mutations/evolution/resistances? Food for thought lol

[@Boop1]

😂 true
