Show No Mercy - The Story of Fallout 4 Part 14

[@jasontoddman7265]

Btw, if you wear Power armor and the vertibird blows up, you can survive the explosion and fall and keep fighting. Danse survives too of course.

Also, if you shoot at the mirelurks on the way to Fort Strong they will frenzy and attack anyone (player or mutants) they come across. That also did not come up in this video.

I see what you did there “Have you taken leave of your senses?!?” “Absolutely”

[@andyfriederichsen]

It would be nice if the minigun was more accurate (especially when using the doorgun on a vertibird). But on another note, it's cool that we get to see the practical problems of the Fat Man nuke launcher being talked about in-game and also get to know the military designation for it.

[@majinnbuu9363]

if you stop right before going to fort strong, and only go about as far in the RR to get the bullet proof armor mod, and then just go all out for the MM you can get the alternate MM ending where the BH and RR aren't aggressive (I think sometime after those points something changes in the backend of the game causing them to fight each other) it what I call the "Happy Ending" of the game where only the institute is gone (also send evacuation signal for people & animals to escape, it's how you can get Gorillas later from one of the DLC's)

[@MurdochMMQCR]

He'll probably cover it later down the line. I think he's going for the surface level paths first. Good that you pointed it out though.

[@DianeBethra]

Theres a point of no return a bit later as well, and without using consol comands or mods its the only way to get Danse romance options AND the RR and BH not fighting each other. Involves a bit of pickpocketting but it was how I did it for my first few playthroughs :)

[@majinnbuu9363]

@@DianeBethra I dumb lucked into the alternate MM ending on 1st playthrough, other ones I never got close to the end of the game, so I was stating what I did to get that ending. But it's been a while since I played it.

[@mastergreeen1385]

@@majinnbuu9363 yeah, you can actually go much further than that with the BOS and RR while still keeping them allied; basically, iirc, with the BOS you go far enough until you reach the end of Blimd Betrayal (but make sure to not turn in he quest to Maxson), with the RR, you make contact with Patriot and do the stuff he asks you to do until you reach the 'wait and see' point, once you've reached those two points, you then just get yourself banished from the Institute and start up the Minuteman questline, doing it all the way till completion

[@DianeBethra]

@@mastergreeen1385 Its the convo with Captain Kells that triggers the war between RR and Bos. If you hand in Blind Betrayal to Maxsen then IMMEDIATELY leave the Prydwen avoiding contact with Captain Kells its all good (quest to speak to Kells disappears later), just don't go back to the Prydwen until after Institute has become a hole in the ground. I also give the Institute holotape to Ingram (to get the Sentinel quest line) then pickpocket it back from her more or less immediatel and reverse pickpocket it to Sturges when I'm Banished from the Institute.

[@Steel-101]

Dude I love how you’re using pictures from the Fallout 4 concept art book for your video thumbnails. Awesome 👍🏼! Also I didn’t have a problem with Maxson on my first play through. I didn’t know this was an issue.

[@mikoto7693]

On my very first play through I could see the problems of Maxson from the first but my impression of them from FO3 was very strong and I was still loyal. Plus I was confident that as the story went on I’d be able to influence it from within an push them back towards the Lyons way of doing things. Right up until Blind Betrayal and unexpectedly I couldn’t continue. Sure I persuaded Maxson to spare Danse, but he still got exiled and had to remain hidden unless I took him with me. So I did for a little bit and then sent him to one of my settlements. I can’t remember which one, probably either Sanctuary or the Castle to keep him safe from the Brotherhood, yet with people that he could socialise with for the sake of his mental health. But at the time I didn’t know that it still wasn’t too late to turn to the Minutemen and complete the game through them still, so I abandoned that save file and started anew. In that one I avoided joining them but got the interceptor because I felt it fit in best with the storyline. That second file went very well and I beat the game with it. Nowadays though I’m glad I didn’t delete my original save file when I abandoned it because a few months later I discovered that it wasn’t too late and took a holotape of that stolen data to the Minutemen and finished my first file that way. It’s funny though because later still I tried to create characters that would side with the Brotherhood, Institute and Railroad but I just couldn’t bring myself to do the BoS and especially the Institute endings, especially as I feel Acadia is worth preserving, mostly because I can imagine post game sending Synths there instead of mind wipes.

[@chrisstaytrue7344]

Fallout 4 will never end in my opinion there’s more stuff to be found and explained

[@King0nyx]

That dig at the 76 Chinese power armor gave me a good laugh 🤣 ox really despises that stuff and from a lore perspective, I don't blame him.

[@NickyTheCat]

Pretty sure it's just a painted and modified version of Excavator Power Armor. At least the suit worn by the final boss in Daily Ops is.

[@Steel-101]

I really think that the Chinese Power armor was made after the The bombs dropped(or maybe just right before The bombs dropped). I think the Chinese were stealing pieces of USA power armor for many years(keep in mind they had a lot of spies in the US) so that way they can create their own(to give them an edge in anchorage. However they made their own power armor too late). Bethesda should’ve put that explanation in the bunker.

[@King0nyx]

@@NickyTheCat I honestly wouldn't know since I've never played 76. But ene still, from a lore perspective it wouldn't make much sense unless it was a prototype. From a gameplay/in game store perspective however, it makes sense as just cosmetic stuff.

[@PaladinDansesGirlfriend]

Don’t know how Bethesda hasn’t hired him yet

[@NickyTheCat]

@@King0nyx in Appalachia there were and still are Chinese remnants and they're seen with a lot of weapons and technology the US commonly used that they could have stolen or found plans for like many others in post-war America. Like how the US took Stealth Armor and reverse engineered it to make the Stealth Boy, only the Chinese haven't gotten as far as to make their own power armor.

[@mikee4639]

Great intro I love this game. You help me understand the game. I just don’t understand all the glitches, especially in Boston. It’s a no go zone, once I destroyed the Institute. Since then I have no go zones or crash sites, literally

[@mikoto7693]

Okay so upfront I’m going to admit that I play FO4 on the PS4 and I experience very few bugs-certainly no places on the map that automatically crash the game but over the years I’ve seen videos and read various comments from PC players. From what I understand games crashing in Boston is a very common problem for them. Most people seem to think that Bethesda put a lot of environmental models in the middle of the Boston area and this causes the PC to crash the game because it’s unable to handle it all. Some have used either console commands, creation kit or mods to enter I suppose I’d call the settlement mode for Devs and removed a lot of the excess models, especially since many of them are underground or in places that the player can’t usually see or access. And that fixes the game for them. Of course I have no way of knowing if that’s the problem that you’re having with the game. It could just as easily be just a mysterious quirk of your individual computer that doesn’t like something about the post Institute Boston map. Even so I think there are mods available that can remove the excess models or otherwise fix the problem. It might be worth checking out. Admittedly problems like this are why I vastly prefer using consoles. Sure the graphics might be better on PC, there are no console commands and usually no modding or limited modding but at least the games run as intended with very few bugs and are easy to get working. Maybe if I knew how to mod or fix PC quirks I would prefer PC. But each to their own.

I wish he would post the fallout 4 story more frequently. After watching the episode it sucks to wait a whole week 😫

[@SecretlySeven]

He could post the full run in one drop. He could release a Fallout video daily like he used to. He doesn't because it's a business and weekly releases net more $. Just shows how backwards youtube must be because views used to = $ directly. Looking at his view counts even his worst performing Fallout videos he pulls 2-4x the views of anything else. Mans could prolly only release two videos a week if they were always Fallout. Hold the same weekly view numbers and work 80% less. I speculate he won't because he knows Bethesda isn't going to give the IP a new game for a decade. That's a long time to milk a few games. Especially with a quick release schedule. At this pace he can get over a year out of Fallout 4. By then maybe double Eleven has turned 76 around. One thing I've always admired about Ox is he can play the long game.

Not saying it can't be fun, it can. Just that the bar for fun in it is so low the player will need a shovel to find it.
