Fallout 4's Aliens Were Up to More Than We Thought

[@EpicNate]

Oof - Alright some notes - This was another long one! New Vegas did feature another "Alien reference", in the form of a small UFO camp with a few aliens we could encounter. However, it was locked behind the "Wild Wasteland" perk and pretty clearly just for giggles, furthermore even if it wasn't, it wouldn't have changed anything in the video. So I cut that. "Zeta Rays" - Are obviously an Alien technology that posses some capacity for calming individuals and improving one's mental state. Notably, Jack Cabot offers the Sole Survivor a Zeta weapon to use against Lorenzo in the Cabot House quest-line and it very likely boasts similar origins. June 25th, 2020 is Mr. House's birthday.

I still believe the zetans are trying to help humanity. I think they want to evolve humans to be more like them since science suggests that humans are headed on a similar evolutionary path to the zetans. I believe they genuinely have our best interest at heart. The only reason they seem so cruel is because, to them, it's very similar to animal testing. That's just my thoughts on the matter.

Fallout 3 has or had computer entries and audio logs that inferred the Zetans were the ones that caused the bombs to be launched in the first place.

If I’m not mistaken there’s another location somewhere in the capital wasteland that has a computer entry that also suggests a foreign entity had control over the missile launch sites.

In 1830, Smith published what he said was an English translation of these plates called the Book of Mormon. if you ask me, that's crazy. if it's true where are the golden plates? why not give us those? why pursue this on blind faith but bury the evidence? if that doesn't smell like a scam, then you need to reevaluate what your smelling. of course Scientology is the most crazy bullshit religion ive heard of that people really truly believe in, but lds isn't as grounded as most members want you to believe.

In Fallout 4 before you head into the cave to find the alien there’s actually a radio signal that you can tune into of the alien talking, possibly attempting to radio for help from other aliens.

That is actually cut dialogue and doesn't really confirm anything.

@@RE4PER Still, it's not the only thing he missed with this video. Bethesda obviously drew a lot of inspiration from Scientology. The inventor of Hubology was apparently named Richard Hubbell, which is not too far from L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. Also, the central theme of Zeta is most likely inspired by Theta, another greek letter. The Thetan is supposed to be the spirit of every human, going through several cycles of rebirth like in Hinduism. And just like Hubology, in Scientology you're forced to pay humongous sums of money to advance levels to be "further enlightened", and I suspect the founder to have originally conceived this as a scam, but since he's long gone there's probably nobody left inside the loop who actually knows the truth, just as it is with Richard Hubbell. I can't cite any sources, but apparently there's some of these levels nobody has reached yet that just catch dust in a safe somewhere in their central office, much like this level 9 of Hubology. There's more similarities, but I guess you catch my drift.

I have a theory that the zetans are hyper sensitive to radition that being the reason they havent invaded yet, why all zetans on earth are dead or near dead, with the exception of the flatwoods monster, whose suit may provide protection from the rads. This also explains why they were making hybrids in mothership zeta, as humans are far more rad resistant than natural zetans would be.

Thats a very interesting idea. And could potential make the pre-war governments and vault tec the immoral "good guys". Perhaps they knew this, and realized that if they irradiated the planet they could prevent the invasion.

I actually really like this theory, it fits incredibly well with the whole theme of the Zetans being the most stereotypical and cliche 1950s aliens possible, with a weakness similar to War of the Worlds. However, I think the community is failing to take into account one (possibly) related questline. Lorenzo Cabot and the artifact helmet he brought back from a lost desert city, which made him immortal and not only gave him psychic powers, but was said to not be crafted by human hands. He also went out of his way to hide the location of the ancient ruins he found, and stated that it was neither a temple nor a tomb, but didn't elaborate further. All of this used as context makes me think the Zetans were never trying to invade the Earth, so much as looking for something they had lost a long time ago.

In hubris comics, on the top floor, you can find a comic book, invasion of the Zetans, with a picture of a Zetan alien. This proves that at least the producers of the comic know of the aliens, and probably most US citizens.

Hubble: “Oh wise Starfather grant me your wisdom!” Alien: “ayy lmao”

Alien: Proceeds to shoot the Hubble. Cultists

I have a new Theory that The Wild Wasteland perk is really just letting your character absorb all the visions and see the past and future like the kid that sits at the 188 in New Vegas. It would be insanely cool if you got the Psychic Nullifier from the kid and it stopped the Wild Wasteland visions

The aliens have the true deadliest weapon on their mothership... An army of robotic buttercup horses! Laser army with rockets and each one is 20kt of warheads!

[@darkridr25]

lol Indeed, and they're made deliberately cute so children will want to play with them. TROJAN HORSES! AAAHHHHH!

I've always enjoyed Robert House's attitude of the nuclear annihilation being a bit of a derailment. I mean, give me 200 odd years and I reckon I'd be looking at things like that too.

You all called me mad but i knew that the giants were aliens! Oh this is not what that is about? Wait this is fallout?

I can't wait to run across cryptids in Fallout 76.

[@1hyugaclan1]

@@sithsquid1 the mothman is pretty easy to run into. There's a light house near the vault that has a mothman quest.

Wow, I did not expect you to just dive into the Betty and Barny Hill abduction from the 1960s. That's like one of my favorite non ghost stories to tell. You just got mad respect from me! Keep up the good work.

The Zeta star system is just under 40 light years away from our star Sol. Let's see if the system is in Starfield. John

9:04 - "There's also an alternate evil ending..." You see, what had happened was... I had more cores so I figured why not just fill the whole thing in. Whoops.

[@cartersmith2877]

I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that it was supposed to happen! I thought it was just a silly and dark ending

[@thomasraymond7912]

Same.
