Fallout: London - Part 22 - The Crystal Palace Maze

[@ovilord]

"I live in South London there isn't this much lava" You mean any lava, right? Right?!

[@ManyATrueNerd]

Well, none in winter, obviously.

[@jackeea_]

In winter it freezes over, and the technical term for that is "magma"

[@davethompson3326]

Londoners who refuse to travel north now get married at Etna Green in Sarf Landon

[@Xecryo]

They import some for the annual “The floor is lava tournament” they tried to keep as much as they can but obviously after a year some of it is bound to cool down.

[@woebel]

I'm pretty sure I've see lava when I was in south London

Blimey ! I used to live in Croydon, looks like it hasn't changed much at all.

[@pinkmouse4863]

Looks a tad improved, from what I recall

[@mdelles]

I'm a little disappointed Jon didn't catch the "he chose poorly" is an Indiana Jones reference

[@taka2721]

Jon just assuming Pistols need to be evil while they are just extremely chill is pure gold. One of my absolute favourite quest chains in the mod

[@Dead-EyeJuncan]

Do you think he missed that it is a Sex Pistols reference? The anarchy symbol on the quest was pretty big give away too. Maybe he will notice in the next episode.

[@darthvaderbutwayshittier7054]

I like how the Pistols are anarchists, but their biggest issues came from everyone being swamped with bureaucracy. Peak realism.

[@jasperdegraaf5254]

I havent got this far in the mod yet. And I love it. But if there is a sex pistols reference in the mod, but no mention of the beatles or something, then instant 0/10

[@taka2721]

@@jasperdegraaf5254 Oh man there is The Beatles reference and for that I recommend listening to "The Mend"

Jon… the corpse and note were right next to you when you picked up the Bobby pin box at 10:47. Literally directly in your view to your left! 😂😂

[@perturbedbatman2009]

To be fair to the Pistols, Caesar’s Legion introduced itself as a murderous threat to the Mojave and they actually turned out to be a murderous threat to the Mojave.

[@darthvaderbutwayshittier7054]

I find it very funny that the Pistols are Anarchists, but because they're Anarchists-in-charge, it's less about sticking it to The Man, and more about sobbing into your desk over the amount of paperwork you have to sift through now that you're The Man.

Quest called "Going For Gold" Takes you to a TV Studio If we aren't meeting a ghoulified Henry Kelly, I'm going to be disappointed. Or is that too old a reference?

[@davethompson3326]

The low level quiz game where foreigners constantly destroyed British people answering questions in English helped me lose faith in my country.

[@JakeTheTrouserSnake]

I'd like to think the conversation bug is intentional to represent the inherent British discomfort at the thought of seeming rude by not looking at the person you're talking to... I mean, it OBVIOUSLY isn't but I'm allowed to have an imagination!

[@guy_autordie]

The gardener is a dalek

[@teyesahr]

Really love him saying he wishes he'd gotten some sneak perks and then proceeds to ignore the sneak perks. For someone who sneaks as much as him....

[@bscar]

He always ignores the hacking and lockpicking perks in all his play thrus, too. I think this is the first one where he's gotten any of the picking perks. I know when I play, the lockpicking and hacking perks are the 2nd and 3rd ones I pick- aquaboy/girl being the first. But I don't think aquaboy/girl is available in this mod

[@bobbys332]

So that Gehenna had a different Vats orientation, you were targeting the biggest piece, which normally would be the torso but for that beast it was actually an arm thus less accurate. Double check the target you are choosing in Vats!

[@ninstar8165]

"For mash get Smash" 10 points if you understand the reference!

[@davethompson3326]

That maze is an absolute mine mine

[@mariolover2222]

Still haven't gotten used to this being on sunday...

[@Jesus.the.Christ]

Jon, in teh earlier episodes of this series you visited a restaurant and ignored all the pepper mills. Each pepper mill has a screw in it.

[@LifelessTooth]

Jon has been playing this game for nearly a decade and he still somehow doesn't understand that going into vats while his gun is completely empty causes a looping reload bug. If you stay in the vats targeting menu while your character is reloading the gun, then you can actually _hear_ the animation play out completely at normal speed. If you select a target and fire _BEFORE_ the reloading sound effect is done, then instead of shooting the enemy, you'll just reload your gun again and waste your time and AP.

[@Selloutsatirist]

(collects dozens of mines earlier in the maze) "How do I deal with this tanky, slow-moving Gehenna?"

[@bscar]

Glad someone else figured that part out, too. Though, to be fair, I hardly ever use grenades, and mines even less so in the base game, so I'd probably forget too.

[@matthewloser7567]

But jon famously loves killing enemies with mines

[@JamieCameron-Mackintosh-z7c]

Oh dear, I fear Roach's days might be numbered as Jon has designs on his headgear... 🤣

[@Alefiend]

I can't be the only one who imagined the maze gardener with a Dalek voice ...

[@rogerw5299]

Kept on expecting an "Exterminate!"

[@SpicyRikers]

It sounds like Simon from the Yogscast doing an awful Cyberman voice xD

[@sodadrinker89]

It's more like 60s Cyberman voice.

[@kingmdalby4569]

I think it's meant to be a dalek but it did sound pretty Cybermen to me. The trolley/wheelchair means it was probably supposed to be Davros

[@docette2015]

South London is a very sad place in this universe, yes. And I don't blame you for wanting to off the Gardener the minute you met him -- not only is he annoying, looks like his dialogue repeats a LOT. Oooof. On the plus side, mysteries to solve with Kiera! Looking forward to it. :)

[@jamescoen1714]

The legendary enemies that don't drop legendary loot don't have the Star next to the health bar.

It wound be so much funnier if there was a key internationally missing (No key 3, but you don't need a key 3)

I don’t know what you’re talking about this looks exactly how I remember it being. I am also a Brighton supporter so I am a bit biased

[@utahjohnnymontana3373]

Farscape?

[@DigitalNomad88]

@utahjohnnymontana3373 Yes! Farscape is one of my favorite sci-fi TV Shows

[@jackeea_]

If this isn't hosted by Richard O'Brien then I'll be disappointed

[@Dead-EyeJuncan]

I would have even taken Richard Ayoade.

[@wolfgang313i3]

It's The Crystal Palace Jon, it's going to have "dinosaurs."

[@wolfgang313i3]

Alas, no Megalosaurus animatronic :(

[@VinePest]

Important game design lesson in the Crystal Maze: if your maze sucks, as long as the rewards are good enough, you're still ok. Bonus points for awkward physics death of the maze keeper.

[@lop90ful1]

this series is so good

[@JessC0]

John says “Next time I do this” like we’re gonna see another Fallout London series. Potential Fallout London Yolo? Joking lol

[@kingmdalby4569]

Probably already been said but the Gardener is DEFINITELY using the old Cybermen mask voice, so it's Cybermen and Dalek mixed.

[@jackboulter4901]

Yes exactly what I thought.

[@TheTheJimJim]

Enjoy the next part. I nearly pulled what remains of my hair out doing their 'eh hem - quests'. Bleh.

[@hoabinh555]

The crystal maze bugged for me, one of the items disappeared from the inventory. Had to no-clip to solve it, it sucks.

[@Ontinara]

I had the same issue with the second key, luckily I had the lockpicking to get around it

[@JamieCameron-Mackintosh-z7c]

I can't help thinking that South London has improved markedly in this time line. Having said that, I have only ever really managed to visit it just after the end of the school day, so it was, inevitably, largely on fire then...

[@rowwhite9569]

I really want to know how long it took for you to navigate the maze.

[@JamieCameron-Mackintosh-z7c]

With the cadence of The Gardener's voice in this I genuinely think it might be Richard Ayoade providing the voice...

[@MyPisceanNature]

...I feel like the proper amount of lava to be in South London is zero. 😂

[@funsamgaming]

Technically not correct, because earth has a Molton core, you could dig down anywhere and get to lava or molten rock. Some places could be 40miles other places could be 1,000 miles.

[@MyPisceanNature]

@funsamgaming Technically, that would be UNDER South London, not IN South London. 😆

[@jimmydean416]

Next episode: going to meet Apache Alice and really finding a techno punk club

[@CynicalPlatapus]

It's like that due to a pre-war fracking incident, which then got multiplied by nukes

[@garyhart6421]

Camden is lovely (apart from Hooligan incursions) and you will end up with the option of having one of two player homes.

[@Unreliablecaptionbot]

A survival horror crystal maze remake would be great tv

[@neil2796]

I don't think the disappearing mines is a bug. It prevents you from finding them the hard way (dying) and then taking them as loot after you reload.

[@romanw6636]

This doesn't make sense - how do you think the game decides to remove mines when a save is loaded because most of the time it doesn't do that. The reality is that the Fallout 4 engine is very unreliably and liable to break at a moment's notice which is how speedrunners can beat the game in 5 minutes (cf load warp). Obviously it is not an intended feature that players are able to teleport across the map but an engine bug which Bethesda have been unable or unwilling to fix.

[@themurmeli88]

It is a bug. The mines don't actually disappear, they get positioned into random locations between loads, because they are not technically items, but projectiles, and the game can't handle them correctly when saving/loading unless you close and re-open the whole game aplication.

[@greg_mca]

This likely isn't the case, but to me the Loki and its description feels like a reference to the Alistair's Folly from CoD BO4 zombies. It's a revolver shaped energy weapon firing blasts of plasma, designed by an eccentric English archaeologist by the name of Alistair R. who sought to understand the primal forces of the universe. Might be completely unrelated, but it's an interesting coincidence

[@fayescarlet]

"Timon" pronounced as "time-on", and not "ti-mohn" threw me in a loop. I never, ever heard it said like that before today.

[@5Andysalive]

they never thought of this path to Mornington Crescent!

I've never lived in South London, but have visited regularly over many years... I am sorry sir you are terribly mistaken, there is most DEFINITELY this much lava.

[@averymontana7389]

It might be a bug that the 'legendary' glowing one is not dropping stuff cause there wasn't a star next to his name that other legendaries have.

[@jamesdrummond7684]

A question to everyone, not sure if anyone would know: roughly how far through the content is Jon, if he continues to progress at this rate?

[@kuldan5853]

It depends on how much exploring he will do (he basically did almost none at all so far compared to what is out there on the map) and if he discovers a lot of the smaller (but cool) side quests. Main story wise this is roughly 1/3rd in, side content wise he has barely even started to scratch the surface. To give you a rough guideline - I personally have done 2 of the endings, and ~80% of the side quests across two playthroughs (on the second one I cheated a lot through the quests I already had done just to get to the content I hadn't seen before to speed things up) and it took me roughly 110 in-game hours, without bothering with settlement building besides the bare neccessities. So at current rate, Jon has quite a bit of stuff ahead.

[@robertlindholm3315]

Come on, they named themselves "the Pistols"... what do you think they're about? Going about their day honouring Her Majesty?

[@Mixxie67]

It's odd to me that a mod that was made by Brits has some really janky sounding accents. I guess being English doesn't guarantee you can do any English accent anymore than an American can automatically do any regional American accent. But still...
