[@fugyfruit]

I think it was just the first courser since he has a gen 3 with him

[@ijusthatedmyoldhandle]

li hears about it regardless of whether or not the lw gives up harkness or not because zimmer keeps bothering her about it... also she heads towards the commonwealth after project purity gets completed no matter how you finished that quest. but it's treated as a pretty minor detail and i imagine there are at least a few people who didn't play broken steel so i can't fault anyone for not remembering/knowing. i forgot too tbh. only remember now because i've been replaying 3 the past week or two lol.

I think the canon ending is the Wanderer siding with Harkness and one of them killing Zimmer, because the lateris still missing in FO4 and no one has heard from him for the last 10 years.

[@Alex_FRD]

Just putting it out there, Deacon says he was a girl at some point... and in the Capital Wasteland when the Brotherhood were good guys... and the only Railroad agent who knows exactly who A3-21 became other than Pinkerton is Victoria Watts. To quote Piper, now I have a new worst mental image.

+stauner32 It is less about the words and more about the meaning. You get 4 choices in FO4, and very often all those do is change which line the NPC reacts with before going on. A B C and D player responses lead to A B C and D NPC lines but they all go straight to E FAR too often. There are more likes in FO4 largely due to giving the player a voice and having a male and female (meaning each player line is recorded twice). FO4 also has a lot of mixed dialogue used in the same scenario (Preston has a few ways of telling you the settlement needs help and the settlers have a few ways of telling you there are bad guys around). There are more lines in FO4, but FO3 has much more dialogue.

[@anthonylongoria2638]

i mean its either, be part of the future kkk army taken to the next level, or part of a unintentional slaver group that doesnt understand the outside world. seriously ghouls dont go feral unless they left alone, same as someone going crazy, and not all super mutants are crazy fucks and if something is self aware of its self and its existence, it is basically alive even if you can control it. so even though the minutemen and railroad are kind of goody two shoes and simple, theyre pretty much more civilized lol

[@peppermillers8361]

+anthony longoria the Railroad are kind of like PETA.

[@theblackswordsman5051]

+pepper Mill No, you realize PETA kills animals and bitches over nothing

[@RustCohle072]

A 31 minute vid from Fluffy? Dayum, i'm in for a treat. Even if i saw all this years ago i don't remember much of the specifics in dialogue.

[@Spartan_9013]

Fallout 4 actually answer a lot of plot holes I found in Fallout 3

[@peaceandthepanic]

really? like what?

[@oneworldcommunity117]

yea tell us!

[@Spartan_9013]

For example, in fallout 3, this lady was like “ stop your search, I've been sent by the railroad " Me: who the fuck are they? The lady appeared in megaton telling me to stop my search and when I asked about the railroad, she gave me zero important information. The old man didn't give me important information about the institute neither

[@DEFERDSWAG]

Eduardo Morales those aren't technically plot holes those are just dead ends of information

[@wisconsinbuddah]

@@DEFERDSWAG you just defined a plot hole man lol

[@Yojimbo711]

I had completely forgotten about this quest when I started FO4, thanks!

[@BabylonGames798]

And all this time I thought they pulled the Institute idea out of thin air

[@rb6s132]

Brings me back to the good old days of the wasteland

[@cohenyoung9213]

Gotta miss that dialogue box.. ;-;

[@galacticalliance4801]

I wonder if they had any plans to expand on this for fallout 4 ahead of time or if they all sat down together when they started making fallout 4 and went “hey you remember that ridiculous quest line we made for fallout 3?”

[@breakfestbacon7159]

Ahhhh, 8 actors recording 40 000 lines of dialogue.

[@343bungie]

I remember this quest. When they announced all the stuff for fallout 4 about the commonwealth and institute I got so excited

[@DynamicDurge]

8:38 Right... like find the cure for cancer? Oh wait..

[@quijanojr97]

Very funny how the institute is supposed to be a very secret group in the Commonwealth but out in the capital they just announced what they can do

[@argonianbballin3755]

i miss the capital wasteland.

[@nicenameyougotthere.5021]

you can actually drink the water there.

[@Guilherme-pt7ix]

Deacon is The Lone Wanderer, and he used Fawkes to start the purifier.

[@har0her059]

Jesus Christ I did this back then but I'm just now realizing that they mentioned the commonwealth

[@hutaka6628]

It's cool that Bethesda planned everything about the Institute. From Zimmer and father disagreeing about what to call synths/androids, to the srb (synth retention bureau).

[@erezben14]

Do you play Fallout 3 on Windows 7 or later? If yes, how? Mine's just crashing

[@FluffyNinjaLlama]

+erezben14 Windows 10, there's a fix on nexus but I can't find the link, sorry.

[@erezben14]

Oh it's ok, I'll just search it. Thanks :)

[@polraudiozion1156]

+erezben14 odd. mine works perfectly fine on windows 10 and i didnt have to do anything at all.

[@erezben14]

Polraudio Zion well it's not optimized for 7 or later so yeah i don't know

[@ohmyflippiningod]

Fo3 has a problem with any cpu above a quad core, I don't remember what it is but there is a utility mod that allows fo3 to run better on stuff like that

[@chronicler3429]

Wow, I was literally re-watching videos on the Railroad and the Institute in FO3 20 minutes ago, and then this shows up!

[@Dragonlordniam12]

"God and the universe will smile upon you" So, how many caps is that?

[@Thegreatninjamaster]

It's so nice going back to Fo3 and finding all these references to Fo4.

[@MediumRareOpinions]

I was hoping that A3 21 would be a recurring character somehow, would have been pretty damn cool if you could convince him to lead the synth Rebellion

[@Bonzofrombitburg]

Man I loved this game I forgot about this mission .

[@BigWheel.]

Wait so this happens after shaun is kidnapped but before the survivor wakes up?

[@JamieMadrox1210]

Yes

[@BigWheel.]

Ok thanks

[@ICaligvla]

what makes you say that? Sorry I got lost along the way

[@BigWheel.]

Well shaun is supposedly the inventor of the synths we have today (in fallout 3/4) Harkness is a humanoid synth capable of complex thought and simulated emotion etc... So he would've had to have been made after shaun was grown up. Or at the very least after shaun was taken. But fallout 4s campaign officially begins in 2277and reasonablly lasts till 2280 if you're taking your time Which is somewhere around 10 years before nate or nora wake up and begin their search.. No mention of someone entering the institute is made either.... Implying that nate/nora have not left vault 111 I was just curious if this was clever timing by bethesda or if they fucked up the storyline like with jet and a few other things like xo1 power armor (both of which are post war inventions but for some reason are treated like pre war inventions in fallout 4)

[@cap5040]

Fallout 4 starts in 2287

[@scatsquatchx6695]

its crazy watching this again now understanding what they were talking about after all this time

[@themudpit621]

24:49 always cracked me up. What kind of noise is that? lol

[@mung5568]

I can't believe if I paid more attention on this little side quest I would have known alot about fallout 4 years before it came out

[@qwertqwertqwerr]

damn, looking back at F3 dialogue system, make me cry over F4 dialogue, sure, F4 is shinier but also shallow and linear... sigh...

[@historiousedward4145]

This kinda remind me of the cult at the endgame pace of TES III: Tribunal, where the cult leader told the nerevarine that there will be daedras and daedric portals spawning and roaming around tamriel very very soon, which foreshadows the plot for TES IV: Oblivion Nice touch, BGS.

[@charlottehorak6998]

Oh my god. How did I not connect this before. Mind BLOWN.

[@azraelwolfsblood2902]

It’s so weird coming back to this after fallout 4. I remember doing this mission and thinking the commonwealth was the location in Virginia which confused the hell out of me for so long

[@zeronatras]

What if Harkness is Deacon? :"

[@billythekid5579]

I find the tie ins to fallout 3 so so so enjoyable it's like Christmas

[@amazinglyidiotic8607]

Now that is how you make an Easter egg. Well done Bathesda, well done.

[@RholynjayLim]

Kind of crazy, that Nate or Nora is in ice when our characters like the Courier is kicking everything out, while Shaun is in the institute. And we didn't know it in the first place.

[@mr.orange9796]

This leads me to believe that they might take a small quest from FO4 and turn it into the plot of FO5 when it comes out. that means....THE SLIVER SHROUD WILL RETURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@phonyponybologna1070]

Thanks for going through this quest, but it would've been nice to see the other side: when you help Dr. Zimmer.

[@acolbymyers]

Dr.Zimmer the evil scientist in johnny quest!

[@SlyphYT]

Crazy how much Bethesda thought about Fallout 4 when making 3... How they tied a lot of things together from 3 to 4.

[@Thehintercast]

Oxhorn needs to do a video on this

[@kase1248]

I did Harkness' quest when I was still low-level and ended up with his plasma rifle and was basically super OP for the rest of the game lmao

[@joelsavoie9555]

I like the theory that the Lone wanderer became Deacon, he sent Dogmeat to find and protect the survivors of Quincy.

[@ijusthatedmyoldhandle]

fo3's dogmeat would be fucking ancient by then though. probably died of old age years before the ss wakes up.

[@Nazasu]

This was one of the first quests i always did in order to get A3-21's Plasma Rifle. Such an over-powered Plasma Rifle, and my favorite weapon in all of Fallout. Lmao.
