Discovering Bedlam En Route to Croydon - Fallout London Part 35

[@Mr2110Sandman]

Ox, as a suggestion after you are done with the companion quest for Kiera you should try to buy a powerfist from the merchant Fenning so you can give it to the companion who is a boxer called Mad Jack from Pilgrim Pub in Trafalgar Square when you eventually choose to add him to your party .

[@PCGamingGoodies]

To prevent this kind of thing (1:08:37), turn off dialog camera (Main Menu -> Display -> Dialog Cam -> OFF) so you can move your camera (and your body) freely during conversations. I was able to look up at the microphone and see the dialog box because I had dialog cam off. This also prevents NPCs obstructing you during conversations (3:53). With dialog cam off, you can move your body during conversations; you can walk close to the NPC you're talking to so that other NPCs can't squeeze through between you.

[@PCGamingGoodies]

The Bethlem hospital is related to a side quest. You need to finish the "Scylla" quest for Thameshaven before getting it. Btw, there are often conflicting names for locations. This hospital is named "Bethlem Museum of the Mind" on the door (52:57), but it's called "Bethlem Royal Hospital" on the Pip-Boy map. Sometimes, the big on-screen pop-up that you see when you discover a location shows yet another different name.

[@PCGamingGoodies]

Btw, coming to this location early will not break the quest. I came here early too, and didn't break my game. Most locations are "safe" to explore early. But sadly, a few aren't; and I can't tell you where because that would be spoilers. You just need to save often.

[@pesky19]

hey oxhorn idk if you'll read this, but i really liked your fallout videos and how you go through everything and all the lore, especially the fallout 1 and 2 series, i was wondering if you could make similar series on the atom rpg and sequal, since they're so inspired from fallout 1 and 2 and made by fans of those games clearly, and have a lot of decisions and lore to go through

[@ryanaustin3402]

Hey ox just wanted to say that i love your work and dedication to us and that we all love and appreciate you👍

[@Singeferno]

In Fallout 76, they mentioned that some wolves adapted a mutation making the immune to fire. The frozen vault

[@sarahc7787]

Fun fact; the green and yellow outfits you see the people inside the building when you're inside Croydon are actually suits used by the UK prison system, they use them on offenders who are on the move or who prove a massive escape risk. One example being Charles Bronson!

[@Aye-McHunt]

They're worn by prisoners in Belmarsh's double A category wing.

[@DGLaderoute]

I love Fallout London, but I have found that it's sometimes not obvious where you need to go. Even if you can see the quest marker inside a Pindar or cave or building or whatever, it's often not obvious how to get to it--it just kind of floats there "inside" a wall, often above or below you, but you can't see how to get to it. This can also be a problem outside, as shown in this episode when Ox went for a walk north, trying to find out how to get around the first lava pit and missing the little cable car that takes you across it. I got frustrated enough to put a perk point into VANS, which is a perk I rarely use in FO4 (I think I used it in my first playthough, then decided it was a waste of a perk point). In FOL, though, VANS can be really, really good--it can tell you HOW to get to that elusive quest marker and minimize frustration. I only wish there was a way of toggling it on and off, since I don't need it all the time (without using console commands, that is). Unless I've missed something, you can't just switch VANS off and on again at will, it's always on once you've got it.

[@PCGamingGoodies]

VANS simply shows how to reach a quest marker, but the quest marker is often incorrectly placed by the game, as many players of Creation games know. The Creation engine divides areas into "cells," and each cell has no "awareness" of the other cells, often resulting in funky placements of quest markers. This exists even in the latest Creation game, Starfield. Because of this, VANS and other features related to quest marks are often useless.

[@DGLaderoute]

@@PCGamingGoodies I've had pretty good results with VANS so far. It has made some of the quests in FOL a LOT easier and more enjoyable. Now, I've probably got my best use of it in situations where the quest marker is nearby, but there's no obvious way to get to it--for example, when you're trying to find and help the Ferryman early on, VANS made my life MUCH easier. And for more distant quest markers, they're usually outside and I don't need VANS to point the way. Sure, there are probably situations where it won't work very well, but I've certainly got no complaints about it in FOL (again, in regular FO4, I never needed it and think it's probably a waste of a perk point). In FOL, though, some of the location design is--complicated, and VANS has made my life much easier.

ravens and writing desks... the higher you go the fewer you'll find. (like on a mountain) i think i've read that in a king book, 'the shining' maybe...

[@sarataylor61]

Ravens and writing desks both have inky quills

[@cathview3837]

Has anyone else noticed all the rifles are left handed, even the ones like the Lee Enfield ( Service Rifle) that were only ever made as right hand versions. I guess in this universe right handers are the put on minority.

[@PCGamingGoodies]

You probably know this already from years of making Fallout 4 videos: your companion's affinity increases automatically as time passes even without likes. From my observation, it increases by 1 every 1.5 minutes (90 seconds) or so without likes. Companions have new dialog when affinity reaches 250, 500, 750, and 1000 (max). Companions start their personal quests at 750, except one, who starts it at 1000. You can use the console command "getav ca_affinity" (no quotes) to check the affinity value. For instance, if it's 600, that means you have to spend another 100 minutes to get another 150 affinity (100 x 1.5) in order to reach 750. Sleeping and waiting won't work. You have to spend time in real-time with your companion. Each "like" from your companion adds 15 affinity, essentially saving you 22 minutes (15 x 1.5) of time you need to spend with the companion. A "dislike" subtracts 15 affinity. For some reason, all companions except Archie "like" it when you steal owned (red) items. That is the only sure-fire way to get likes that I know. For quest-related and dialog-related likes and dislikes, there isn't complete info on the Internet, yet. A lot of info is lacking because I suspect not too many people play Fallout London -- it's not on consoles, it's tricky to install and run, and there's zero marketing for it.

[@PCGamingGoodies]

One quest-related "like" I know is in a political side quest where you vote for a prime minister. Your companion may like or dislike whom you vote for. Some things are just true in whatever universe you are in.

[@Skinlassi]

Im unsure if it was every 4 minutes for me anyway, but yes it was like aprox 10 min between ads after the 30 something mark

[@Jock42LuvinIT]

Hey Oxhorn. Have you figured a way to download london to ps4 yet? You're my guy 😉

[@drmlabs]

Fallout London just keeps getting better and better ❤

[@jesvicious]

Yay it’s the adventures of Kiera and fat boy 😂😂 no seriously good episode

[@alpha6617]

Ox what do you think was the canon new Vegas ending

[@johnperkins8884]

Shades of Old World Blues ..

[@rowwhite9569]

You need to look at a certain part near the entrance to get the talking options up. Also the Pindar key is in the maze so you need to talk to the gardener

[@Duderonamus]

Kiera doesn't rhyme with Sierra... it's Keera, yknow.. like Kiera Knightely the actress

[@aleksanderkorecki7887]

Too bad about Malcolm Rhodes. It seemed an interesting quest.

[@AlexC-ou4ju]

lao wai, feng shui lol there's been a cantonese video game developer somewhre here

[@thorild69]

1:04:35 and play at 2x speed lol x)

[@denniscarmean9832]

Use Command on Kiera and see what happens!?

[@rickynuttall163]

Kinda reminded me of a television game show here in england called the crystal maze, broadcasted in the 90's, was pretty good.

[@Aye-McHunt]

I remember watching that a few times. Didn't Den Watts present it?

[@batboy-xf3ki]

[@waterbottle4782]

And here I am screaming the gondola the gondola... Everyone loves the Crystal Palace maze. Also note the player has to look up to the speaker in order to respond to the Maze Gardner.

[@jakespacepiratee3740]

The Crystal Palace??? The site of V’s next big Heist is here??

[@ZachariahJ]

Looking forward to see Bedlam. I couldn't reach it - there was a bugged cell that crashed the game to desktop however I tried to enter the area, inc. trying to noclip there. Just did the quest missions around Croydon (one way or another) and got out! Weirdly, it worked better on my first playthrough, pre-Hotfix.

[@BearIronEye]

This place where I cant hear your voice over the music is a great place to get this paperwork done.

[@DGLaderoute]

Incidentally, since you'll probably end up encountering this in your next video, to get to Croydon you have to build two bridges. The second one requires a "structural beam" or some such thing. There is one nearby when the game tells you that, but I never had a quest marker or anything show it so I ended up hunting around for a while before I stumbled on it. If memory servers, you have to backtrack a little to find it. Just putting that out there in case you end up futzing around trying to find the damned thing.

[@PCGamingGoodies]

My experience was that I had to practically stand next to the structural beam before the quest marker correctly pointed to the structural beam; otherwise it pointed somewhere else. This is another Creation engine quirk that causes incorrect placements of quest markers, which players of Bethesda games are all too familiar with.

[@willdodge200]

Pronounced Keeera.

Oxhorn only has two brain cell's and one of them is lonely :)

[@JulianBorgad]

I like how they put an german p-08 out as an chinese pistol because in the chinese civil war many warlord producest german p08 copies

[@AJMBLAZER]

The P-08 is the Luger. The Chinese produced copies of the Mauser C96 pistol.

[@JulianBorgad]

@ no they also Producer the p08 and the Luger

[@JulianBorgad]

@ the p08 was the First Version and the luger was the Next improvment . The German Military sended p08 , g98 and luger as Military ais to the kuomintang in 1934 i think

[@AlexC-ou4ju]

dang it seems the americans successfulyl privatised the NHS in the fallout universe.

[@hardwurkindaddy]

Weren't those a set of keys on the table where you found the tickets?

[@Mupshot]

I found the hell hounds to be non aggressive They havent attacked me even when getting close

[@t2av159]

thank you for welcoming me back

[@hellcat1401]

I do not like Keira. She annoys me like Deacon does.

[@Yea_I_Got_Nothing]

WTAF. Clicked THIS link on my sub feed. Got directed to Last Weeks Ep. Anyone else? Come on YT.

[@The_Endless_Now]

Happened to me but on phone when watching another series, I clicked on the latest episode but it loaded up the one before. Some AI shenanigans maybe?

[@DrGonzo4life]

You should really watch Monty Python and the holy grail

[@twilliamspro]

[@jonathansmith8210]

0:19 I think you should have stayed with the last companion

[@marilynlucero9363]

Nah Kiera is a crackpot, lol

[@jonathansmith8210]

​@@marilynlucero9363is that all she is

[@ZachariahJ]

Keira is great! And after having her as a companion for dozens of hours, she still comes up with dialogue I'd never heard before. Situationally relevant dialogue too!

[@DGLaderoute]

If you stick with her, you also get a really good weapon.

[@hoosierpatriot2280]

WHY do you keep leaving prewar money behind?? It weighs NOTHING!

[@PCGamingGoodies]

You can earn more caps by selling ammo (which he does collect) than pre-war money. Ammo is weightless too, and is far more abundant than pre-war money. And you likely don't use every ammo type, so you can sell the ones you don't use. You can accumulate thousands and thousands of certain ammo that way. You can clean up every vendor you meet by selling just a few hundred of the ammo you don't use at 1 cap apiece.

[@vic_blue636]

Oxhorn, there is lava in London because Croydon is the location of the large-scale fracking catastrophe that gets mentioned now and then.

[@mrIllusionist1331]

Remember to explore the other side of the maze when you get the key👍

[@malkriss]

[@richardburke8181]

That was my question did ox stop playing bg3 altogether

[@malkriss]

@richardburke8181 i believe so

[@joefurlong421]

I think Ox is travelling with the female equivalent of Zap Brannigan.

Too many ads Ox. Every 4 minutes is a lot.

Come on Ox Serious? Watching your videos is becoming so exasperating. After all these years of playing Fallout you would think you would have almost an expert level of combat tactics understanding instead of this chicken do do attitude. You act like Gomer Pyle more and more.

[@lucianocolagiovanni7897]

This series has too much filler and not enough story. I feel like there's been no progression in months. Almost every episode is just you wondering around

[@PCGamingGoodies]

It's not filler. He is trying the get signatures from the leaders of the 4 boroughs, which is part of what the main questline requires you to do. Expect several more episodes like this. So far he's only got one signature, from the Camden leader, the Cyberfox lady. There are 3 more boroughs to go to, many NPCs to talk to, and many needs to cater to.

[@ZachariahJ]

I know what you are saying - and the Brickton/Croydon area just seems exhausting - and I don't know if he's actually going inside the Maze! I only got in by no-clipping - and it wasn't much fun once I'd got in. I'm on my second playthrough, and I didn't even bother with a lot of this area - just did what Roach and Lloyd wanted me to do, and got out again. I didn't bother with exploration. Same in the Greenwich Glowing Sea! Just do the quest and get out. But I'm glad Ox does it - he can show me stuff I will have missed. And if it gets dull, or he's reading stuff I've already read, then I will skip ahead.

[@PCGamingGoodies]

​@ZachariahJ Some of the exploration may be optional and unrelated to the main quest, but it gives you some additional pleasure since many of these locations exist in real life. It's a bit of tourism, if you will, and I always look forward to this aspect in a video game: seeing all the Boston landmarks in Fallout 4, all the ancient Greece landmarks in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, etc. Crystal Palace Maze is a real-life tourist attraction, as is Buckingham Palace, British Museum, House of Commons, Wimbledon Tennis Museum, etc., all of which you'll find in this game. In Greenwich, be sure to find the place that keeps the "Greenwich time."

[@ZachariahJ]

@ Well, I'm on my 7 day wait, so I'm doing a few quests I never managed on my first playthrough. Right now, I've found the missing Tommies, but getting back out again is a nightmare. Got to try and memorise the path - I've died several times already. I also did the Cutethulu mission, which I hadn't done the first time, and that was fun. But I couldn't find a way into the Crystal Palace, and I had to no-clip into the maze, because I couldn't find the key, or the entrance. I've tried doing the German sub one, but I can't speak to Kant, because one of the officers stands in the way, so the convo is borked - had to no-clip out of the damn boat! I'm not going back. In should just add that I am absolutely obsessed with this game. When it is over, I will be very sad. I've enjoyed my second playthrough even more than the first. I'm from the Black Country in the UK, and my grandparents talked just like Seb Gaunt! (But without the swearing). It's great hearing UK accents, and seeing familiar landmarks. And many references to UK pop culture.

[@PCGamingGoodies]

@ZachariahJ Mazes are a cliche in video games, as we know. But I forgive them here because it's a notable real-life landmark. In terms of gameplay, this is not the most enjoyable maze I've seen. It's dark everywhere (for some reason this whole place is in perpetual nighttime), and it looks the same everywhere, so you are basically blind. You only have your compass to rely on. And the reward is not that great: a lowly energy gun and an extra location (Crystal Palace Mall) with not much lore or intrigue. This whole place is just a bit of tourism, as I said.
