The antenna you first show is the satellite dish at the Olivia Station just east of Red Rocket. The hole is the quarry called Thicket Excavations. The Concorde thing is indeed a water tower.

[@SirMZK]

100% agree, the bombs drop too quickly and don't allow for any real attachment to your son or spouse. Like you say, even interacting with the neighbours would be cool, especially since (SPOILERS) you can find them as Ghouls in Boston.

[@VergiI_Sparda]

a fun fact about that dome above the vault door: if you see that bubble when using an alternate start mod, the mod broke your game (it broke the starting script for after you exit the vault, which breaks a lot of other things in the game that you might not notice until it's too late!)! the city is also the skyscrapers from downtown Boston ( that big giant red and white building is, I think the Mass Fusion building you visit with the brotherhood when you "Deal With" the institute ). and they're there because when you're on top of the vault door you can probably just barely see them over the trees. The big giant hole isn't where the bombs dropped, its in the wrong place. You'd have to be looking straight south and go all the way to the bottom left of the map, since the Glowing sea is where the bombs dropped by Boston. Not being mean or rude just letting you know since you've said in the comments you haven't played in a bit! Thanks for the video, it's actually really interesting to see that they modeled so much of the map pre-war even if some of it is post-war assets. It's a bummer about the other houses, but I get it. Why add stuff the player might never see and force extra rendering power in an area it isn't needed, you know? The homes are, essentially, cookie cutters of the same pre-fabricated home, with slight variations in layout. All the same pre-war furniture and appliances would be there ( as evidenced by the state of them post-war). and another thing, they're based on real homes ! Sanctuary is so small because it's a real little neighborhood in Massachusetts, with original homes called the Excelsior Model Homes, prefab houses made of metal that could be configured in several different ways. Just a few years ago, one went up for sale and it was quickly purchased. You can even go visit the nerighborhood in MA and some of the residents allow tours, if you're not pushy or weird about it. And they are GORGEOUS! As someone who loves the retro-futurism of the 40's and 50's, I'd love to own one of them. If only companies started making them again for new homeowners.... I'd build the dang thing myself. : >

The bombs fell above the Glowing Sea. The hole in the ground is the quarry. The Concord thing is a water tower. It's not 200 years before the bombs drop, it's a few minutes. The towers are the skyscrapers in Boston. The barrier at the fence gate to Vault 111 is to prevent players from squeezing past the guard before talking to him.

@@CraahGunn As the bombs started dropping, I don't think anyone was really sticking around to stop the vault-tec employee from hiding anywhere he pleased. Whether it was the cellar, a storm drain, the neighbor's fridge, you name it. All the residents are up at the vault. Half of them get admitted in the vault, and the other half just got hit with a big shockwave. If he was doing the rounds in the neighborhood. We can probably allude that cellar could have come up in conversation, so he'd at least know of its existence. Edit: Then again, he also had a van, so he could have just dipped out in the van.

The map actually looks like its there in a basic form, you can see all the roads and waterways. The white thing you look at is a water tower.

All of those assets were put into the game because A) they're tall, and B) they would have been visible from Sanctuary Hills.

Everything in the distance that is modeled is things you would be able to see from any position during the prologue section (water tower, power lines, boston in the distance that you can see when the bomb drops. The bomb also falls much further than that crater and is roughly positioned as far as where the glowing sea would be in the regular game due to that being the location of the bombs crater in the main game. And the terrain is just what is modeled before terrain with collision is placed over it. The invisible wall at the vault 111 gate is where the military guy stands and doesn't go away until you talk to him once he is loaded in for the bombs falling scene and the black bubble over the vault elevator is just the load zone visible because you are clipping into an area before the game loads all the assets in the vault platform is an asset that is loaded in conditionally because it moves.

Would’ve been funny if Sanctuary was the only Pre-War location and as you exit out, you just see the wasteland as you know it 210 years later

[@Tabbypm9]

I don’t know why, but my HUD color was light blue when I started my first save. I hadn’t changed it before then.

Feel free to branch out into different games when exploring out of bounds/curious places.

[@SirMZK]

I’ve wanted to for a while but it’s hard to find a game with the same turbulent past as cyberpunk, with actual visible cut content, with a no clip mod etc… but fallout could work

[@spiderz5145]

@@SirMZK true true, well I’m sure some the audience you’ve created from your cyberpunk 2077 content (me included) would watch whatever game you post about, take some inspiration from the video series “Boundary Break”, just make sure it’s done in the right way so you’re not accused of copying.

Also , the same sphere appears when leaving vault 111, but its white to do the blinded by the sunlight thing.

[@saladinbob]

Wait, how are you doing this? What normally happens is the moment you approach the bridge the bomb goes off and you die, even if you have god mode on. I thoroughly explored pre-war Sanctuary when it first came out. If you can now cross the bridge then they've removed that trigger for some reason, unless you have a console command that disables it?

There was a guy who was recreating the entire Fallout 4 pre-war map, but I think he gave up or died.

The detail in the game is pretty cool. They even used the Lustron house design which back in the back in the day were houses made of steel that were transportable. These were their idea of “the houses of the future”

[@o0junglist0o93]

I always thought how cool it would be to have a few hours of gameplay pre war.

[@JosephLachh]

The bomb fell in the glowing sea. That’s why that area is so radioactive.

[@anonomuse9094]

There's a mod that i think is called "who tf parks in the middle of the road ". It's great, it moves the vault tek reps van to the side of the road rather than the center of it.

[@Jo-oo1mx]

3:30 that dish is a raider hideout/air force bunker and the hole in the ground is the quarry I believe

[@Gaming_Tributes_1o1]

That's exactly how my Vault is looking in my Fallout 4 Playthrough right now!

[@kemurinokami5899]

I like that you are branching out to other games, great videos keep it up

[@SirMZK]

Cheers will do

[@ShadowRaids666]

Tell me you've not played fallout 4 without telling me you've not played fallout 4

[@Jarod45]

I feel like that big hole with the water was probably just a dev messing with the terrain editing tool since no one would see that

[@retrokittydesign7974]

What you said about Sanctuary is completely inaccurate. There’s a lot to explore in the houses and the yards.

[@EchoARC6895]

the radar dish is actually there in post war and its a Raider Camp lead by Ack-Ack a non friendly Raider and the hole is the quarry where he points is where the bombs hit in the cutscene but in reality the bombs hit more closer towards to Shore and it was put closer to empasize the size of a Nuclear Detonation from a ICBM Nuclear Warhead which are used in fallout if yall wondered what were the nukes the patch not far from sanctuary is where the Red Rocket truck Stop is where you meet dogmeat if im not mistaken the power pylon hes at is where Abernathy Farm is in post war mate thats boston, how long has it been since you last played fully? i think the building he flied into first after entering boston is Trinity Tower or Mass Fusion the barrier is where the soldier stands before your character gets into the vault and he takes his dearest time stepping out of the way despite the urgency the distortion is the Shockwave of the Detonation as well as partially the EMP Blast with the ICBMS (yes they do have EMP Blasts in real life and in the game, how do you think the city lights aren't on) but in reality Boston City in the wasteland probably should be a bit more damaged because of hoe close it really is to Ground Zero especially the High Rise buildings but then again this is Bthesda so where is logic with them hope the info that myself and others dropped into these comments were helpful

[@Redmango69]

Seems like they took the map terrain and just put details where they needed them for the prologue. for example, the big hole must be Thicket Excavations and you can also see where roads are supossed to be. would be cool to see the glowing sea in the pre war map to see the crater
