5 of the Most Influential Pre-War Characters in Fallout

[@la_jefe9105]

john bradberton was great but his biggest mistake was releasing *new* nuka cola. people just weren’t ready for it

[@roachdoggjr3786]

after they brought back classic nuka, the taste just wasnt the same

[@malykoth]

I wish they had let us put Bradburton's head-jar on top of a set of Nuka-Cola power armor and let him become either a companion or at least a settler.

[@ComradeUranium]

Or give him a synth body

[@malykoth]

@@ComradeUranium That would work, too...is there precidence to putting a 'human' mind in a synth body?...but I think his still decapitated head bolted to power armor would be, if nothing else, a fun science experiment. Very 'Frankenstein'. He could man a Nuka-Cola stand!

[@RNKel1]

An addition to the atomatron dlc would be cool too as a robobrain…

[@duanekc]

Lets be honest; Bethesda handed us everything we need in F4 to resolve Bradberton's problem. Bert Riggs, one of the scientists who developed the Robobrain and indeed, survived to 2287 *as* a Robobrain and Isabel Cruz, AKA The Mechanist, who managed to get the production facility up and running again despite it being in a lockdown state and started producing Robobrains herself. Riggs also had plans to create cloned bodies for himself and his fellow Vault survivors when the time came to emerge. There is no reason the same tech can't be applied in Bradberton's case.

[@luckygallagladi]

That's such a creative idea though. We have Robobrain robots, synths, and power armor.

This is an excellent video. Well researched and presented. Fantastic work. I'm guessing next list has to include the protagonists from FO4 for their connection to Father...

[@vf7269]

House allo created the securitron and restored new vegaa I like to think that the canonic ending is with him A genius, yes eccentric, but not a psycho He would not kill anybody for pleasure or for random purposes People are are resource, and he knows that they need to be kept happy and satisfied to be useful

[@Annex_canada]

Dean Dommyno never had a chance

[@filmandfirearms]

I just realized that the Fallout AK has no bolt. You should be able to see the back of the bolt and the firing pin in it at the bottom of the bolt carrier, but there's just an empty hole

[@qualicumjack3906]

The Fallout “AK” is chambered in 5.56, would be a AK-100 family rifle, so the design is correct

[@secondBAR]

Isn’t that one a handmade one or is there another

[@filmandfirearms]

@@qualicumjack3906 There should still be a bolt. Also, not all 5.56 AKs are 100 series and most 100 series AKs are not in 5.56. Very little has changed about the core mechanism of the AK since Kalashnikov's first design. Speaking as a former gun builder for Kalashnikov USA, the owner of a Bulgarian AK-74, and a former RSO who has seen more AK variants than I can count

Some more influential figures: Frank Sinclair - responsible for father elijah's plan and potential execution of mass genocide Elvis Presley - indirectly responsible for one of the main groups keeping Freeside from falling apart Sole Survivor - determines the fate of the Commonwealth Eddie Winters and Nick Valentine - direct causes for the creation of synth nick who helps the sole survivor Captain Zao - destroyed the commonwealth and is possibly the one who launched the first nukes Shaun - director of the institute

[@venrexx]

I will disagree with the blame on the FEV for one reason and one reason only - We are all responsible for our own actions. Any of those people could have just left at any time when they felt their morals were being ignored, but they didn't. They chose to stick around, they chose to continue their work, and they chose to help create the FEV. Saying it's the blame of one man solely because he was in charge is just pushing blame, and pretending like the others didn't have functioning brains of their own. They are all equally to blame, and equally influential in this context.

[@DovahFett]

Depends on the conditions they worked under. It is not unheard of for people working on top secret science projects in the world of _Fallout_ to be forced or "encouraged" to complete their work. One such example is Cambridge Polymer Labs, which trapped its own employees in order to make finish their work on a new type of power armor alloy. Another example is the scientists who were creating diseases and cures for Vault-Tec inside Vault 81. After they were cut off by the vault's Overseer for attempting human testing they were doomed to die, and while they could have just stopped their work entirely and given up, they instead decided to spend the rest of their lives making amends by creating the ultimate cure. Obviously, they still bear some responsibility for being willing to experiment on people without their consent in the first place, but like the people in Polymer Labs, they didn't really a choice after a certain point. Someone else had already chosen for them, and their only chance at gaining freedom or accomplishing something worthwhile before they died was to continue their work. Utilitarianism is a big theme in Fallout, especially when talking about people from the pre-war period. Lots of little people intending to do some good, but finding themselves being lead long bad roads by someone much more powerful than themselves. Some go along with it willingly, others begrudgingly because they don't see any other options that don't compromise their safety. Workplace *_accidents_* in _Fallout_ are far from uncommon.

[@malykoth]

@@DovahFett Also for 'accidents' and mysterious disappearances to happen to those who cause trouble. A scientist trying to leave a project in the middle of it would probably be considered 'causing trouble'! Hey, you gotta test that FEV on someone, right?

[@NautilusMortanian]

Well, in my opinion, #1 should've been Kent Connolly, but... great video. :D

[@GetBoinkd]

You're secretly Rad King I just know it!

[@HYPERDRIVE-oy9rk]

Mr House might be my favorite Fallout character honestly

[@JRYYD]

Great video, may I suggest a video detailing of all the major factions of the games (NCR, Brotherhood, Legion, Mr House, Institute, Vault-Tec) and who would be the best to rule the wasteland either one or a group of them.

[@Khronogi]

I think the opinion would be a meh concept, I think it would be better to list their ideologies and how they want to work then ask the viewers what aspects they like and dislike about each faction.

[@helgrin8754]

that's actually pretty easy because the only viable solution is NCR with support from brotherhood/NCR alone legion dies when ceasar dies mr house has no way to control more than mojave area institute is playing with fire and having problems with railroad, which shows that they have no way of becoming a powerful nation vault tec is vault tec, c'mon ncr already created a country out of nothing, is able to keep peace using soldiers, they are recovering technology to create rails and power armors. They are the only ones that managed to make a proper country in the wastes. And if You played fallout 1 and 2 You'll see how much they grew in just 100 years. From pathetic 3 hut village to biggest city in the game, also, at the end of fallout 2 it controls the whole area in which You are playing in which has at least 6 decently sized and prosperous settlements like san francisco and vault city

I'm still trying to figure out how, after 200+ years, the prepackaged food and drinks are still edible... the soda would be a flat tar-like syrup, snack cakes and suchlike would be petrified, even beer goes bad after a while as well.

Two things, together, would explain that. Food irradiation and vacuum packaging.

[@malykoth]

At times like this, I have to remind myself I'm just playing a genre game...not a reality simulator. In a game with magic, you just accept the magic. In a game with retro-futurist pseudo-science, you just accept the Fancy Boy Snack Cakes...mmm.

I doubt ethical review of research existed in the Fallout Universe. There were a ton of unethical research studies going on in the US prior to the Divergence and only stopped (mostly) with media exposure of government-funded horrors in the 1970s. FEV *does* deserve it on the list, and I don't mind von Felden being on the list as the person for FEV.
