Fallout's Biggest Lie | One Company's Ultimate Deception

[@Max44321]

I wonder if it wasn't some conspiracy, but the writers just didn't know the difference between fission and fusion and that's all there is

[@mohamed52655]

I Don’t know if I remember correctly but it is an intentional lie in Mass fusion story, It is used to show corporate corruption. Not a writer mistake because the same writers wrote that it’s a lie to show corporate fraud

[@MeDicen_Rocha]

If I recall correctly, it is quite clearly stated in game that they couldn't actually make fusion work except for the one Fusion reactor you see in their building.

[@lunamax1214]

It also may be a callback to something that happened back in the 1980s/1990s in the real world. The nutshell: A pair of scientists insisted they had managed to get cold fusion to work in their lab tests. After tons of hype and hoopla, they couldn't replicate the results, so they got lambasted for *ages* over it. I think they may even have gotten ostracized to the point of having to find new careers in completely different fields, but that may be just conjecture. It is up for debate whether they were outright lying the whole time, or if they were just simultaneously the luckiest and unluckiest sods to ever enter the STEM field, but. . .yeah. Real world history is WILD sometimes.

[@Martial-Mat]

Given the fact that they didn't understand the way the fusion generated electricity does not give you radiation poisoning, I think it's certain that they were clueless.

Wake up babe, new Norte lore video just dropped

What a crossover

[@Voltaic_Fire]

I'm a little surprised that homesteading and urban farming didn't become much more prevalent in Fallout, in response to food shortage, it's happening in real life because of shrink/inflation.

[@Voltaic_Fire]

@kevalyarathore223 You think the government could stop the people turning to sources of food that they could afford?

[@Voltaic_Fire]

@kevalyarathore223 1. The government would not divert armoured/mechanised infantry _-what would power armour troops count as?-_ from vital tasks to destroy people's vegetable patches and chicken coops. 2. The soldiers themselves would not follow orders to fire on civilians because they are growing food. 3. The alternative is riots and armed anti-government organisations. There is simply no amount of corpo money that would convince a person to act that badly against their own self interest, it would be like asking you how much it would take for you to cut your own hands off.

[@zhitchcresttail3387]

Yes ​@@Voltaic_Fire

[@f4lloutgaymer]

Doing a little farming in your own yard? What are you doing with all that food? Feeding COMMUNISTS! Only a Socialist Commie would not trust, or believe, the US government has everything under control. Including all the food and water you will ever need. But we need to feed our valiant men and women fighting the front lines for YOUR freedom. If you grow any food of your own, then you must be listening to 'Hong Kong Hillary' and her COMMIE Messages. The glorious TRUE American Patriot does NOT need to grow, store, or hoard any food and water. This country has all your needs met. If you don't trust Uncle Sam, then you are a SOCIALIST COMMIE!! 😉😄😁

[@JustSomeMomInAZ]

@@Voltaic_Firerecently, the government said that personal gardens are contributing to global warming. Which is bs cause plants/trees take in carbon to produce oxygen.

[@MolinaKojima]

Had a dream fallout 5 got announced 😂 don’t fall asleep watching Norte

[@Burner-B]

I would give the exact opposite advice

[@TheJudge287]

Dude, at least give us some details.

[@channingsmith7859]

It’s so easy though

I love falling asleep to videos on anime and video games. Most of the time, it makes my dreams my dreams super fun.

[@Alirian2]

I wish, but sadly we won't be getting that game until the 2030s 😢

[@doctortwilight]

6:14 "Earth as in our real-life Earth" Thank you for the clarification, Norte. Because I was thinking of Orphan 55 Earth.

[@Voltaic_Fire]

That would make a better game than it did an episode.

[@Stories2Tale]

Odd. I was also thinking of Orphan 55 Earth.

[@callmegeorge]

Wait we aren’t talking about Earth 618?

[@t3hSpAdEs]

Reminds me of “green energy” scams that people still fall for

[@filmandfirearms]

More or less. The problem we have today is that the technology hasn't matured yet, so many of the critical failings haven't been addressed yet. The companies making the infrastructure are well aware of these and don't really bother to hide them, because governments will give them obscene amounts of money no matter what. In the case of solar panels, I think it's the worst, because the technology is moving so quickly that they have to constantly rip up the old panels and replace them with brand new ones in order to maintain efficiency. Give it another decade or two, and maybe things will be different, but that's just a guess

[@dominicsc9225]

Idk what it is exactly but your voice is perfect for talking about fallout. You and Oxhorn are two different ends of a horse shoe for fallout narration.

[@FlexyVincentWolf1996]

Agree

[@W0KeIzEvil]

Hellos One > Mass Fusion. @ least youre able to give power to the whole wastes or a space laser death ray with it! Instead of just the Institute or bos...

[@ladonmccabe]

Thank you, Mass Fusion. If it wasnt for your corporate greed, we would never get to play in the nuclear apocalypse! Yay corporate greed!

[@guy_autordie]

When did the uranium was added in the ressouce wars? I only remember about petrol.

[@Idazmi7]

That's been lore since the opening narration of Fallout 1

[@Sorain1]

Uranium and Oil were the two resources mentioned in Fallout 1's opening. "-Only this time, the spoils of war were also it's weapons: Petroleum and Uranium.-"

[@psychosimon7383]

the red rocket terminal has something in it regarding hiding something in the caves below

[@etherealceleste]

LOL, "Since when did science take sides?" Since people became scientists.

[@chadharger9323]

Did FO Earth overuse nuclear energy resourses? The thing about nuclear power is that it can last a couple of centuries when used properly. Just look at the fusion cores that can be found in 200 year old buildings at full charge. Even the 50% core at Freedom Museum is impressive after two centuries. Vehicles that explode like mini nukes because they leave low level rads behind. The batteries in those also have to be at full charge. Another thing to consider is that it's FO and what is commonly agreed upon may not be the truth. The shortage may not have been the result of human overconsumption. It could also be the result of someone(s) purposely messing up the availability and/or progress of better energy technology. Humamity's enemies weren't just each other. There were aliens wanting to invade and Lovecraftian horrors trying to enter Earth. Then there are the Precursor race. Who is to say Old Man Cabot is the only one to find a device and tried to use it before the war. Who is to say the Precursor race is truly gone. Remember they looked like any other regular human. The Institute proved that any human may not be a human as we know it. If the Precursor race did not die out like the Cabot's believed then that race is the greatest threat ever known.

[@richardarriaga6271]

France apparently requires a lot of uranium ore to keep its nuclear plants running.

[@kingofhearts3185]

Oil has other uses beyond energy and fusion was still new tech before the war that the US was keeping to themselves. That's why they were fighting China for Alaska.

[@guy_autordie]

They are not fully charged. They have decayed. If you were to use them at the time, the power source of the armor would have last for a century. These fusion cores are like RTG the power output lessen every day. That's why voyager have almost no instrument power on today.

[@Sorain1]

@@guy_autordie That's always been my logical explanation for why FO1-NV Power Armor didn't need fusion cores, the cores were still good. By the time of 4 the cores are running down, and virtually no one is making new ones. (Presumably the major Brotherhood of Steel presence in the Capitol wasteland is why the power armors there had 'unlimited' fusion cores.)

[@malik740]

Weeeeeellllll... dont want to say too much but as the show revealed you were onto something big here hahahaha

[@youtubersdigest]

Just pointing out, the waste from nuclear fission is not as harmful as it seems. Especially not stored in the casks we use. But I did always think it was weird that so-called “fusion cores” have so much radiation about them when fusion doesn’t have excessive radiation

[@N_orte]

In general, nuclear energy is quite clean. It’s just not that way in the Fallout universe lol with all the excessive radioactive barrels being dumped in open water, etc

[@youtubersdigest]

@@N_orte yeah I’m very pro nuclear power. Have you seen the pebble bed reactors? Basically meltdown-proof

[@BigTundy]

But what makes up a neutron, electron, and proton?

[@incredibleflameboy]

The resource wars were kind of pointless. If they just waited a couple of thousand years there would be more oil, in fact the people would be oil.

[@eatham.]

Oil takes much longer to form, pretty sure the oil we use today is from ancient phytoplankton not sure if humans would work.

[@Seventh_Bean]

N_orte out here dropping lore AND roasting the fission industry ❤

[@filmandfirearms]

It's not "roasting", grow up. These problems have been well publicized for decades. The reason why nuclear power isn't everywhere despite it's many, many advantages, is because of these inherent drawbacks. When things go well, everything is golden, like what's going on in France right now, but when things go wrong, the issues which normally have to be carefully managed suddenly aren't and everything goes to hell

[@anzaca1]

@@filmandfirearms Nuclear fission is incredibly easy to manage, actually.

[@filmandfirearms]

@@anzaca1 Yes, but when things do go wrong, as Chernobyl and Fukushima clearly demonstrated, they go wrong in really big ways. I'm well aware that one of those was caused by socialist incompetence and the other was caused by a natural disaster, but that doesn't really refute the point. Humans will be humans and Mother Nature will always be incredibly destructive. Personally, I'm of the mind that, in the average, it's really no worse than any other method of generating electricity, but that's debatable. Regardless, the dangers and drawbacks of the technology are well documented and publicized, and Norte isn't breaking any new ground, and he wasn't trying to

[@yoshigolf7]

hi norte!!

[@fangslore9988]

Vault-Tech was much worse, fistly they built each vault as social experients except for vaults 31, 32 and 33 who were kept as breeding stock for vault tech executives. Vault-Tech also launched the nukes to ensure that the vault dwellers would inherit the world

Hi Norte

[@JGreen-le8xx]

How dare you besmirch the fine name of Mass Fusion. Looks like someone wants to visit the inspector.... Hmm..

[@StoganNZ]

Temporary lie? You mean self driving cars?

[@MommyMinty]

Wait I've seen this one before

[@holdenmyjeans]

I mean no offense by this but am I the only one who has to speed the video up to 1.25x speed for him to sound normal? Most of these fallout lore videos are the same and it really sounds like he is being slowed down(it really shows when he is reading or explaining the start of his video), which I hope it isn't just to make the content longer, because if so that would be kind of toxic.

[@iLeeduh]

I see it more as an annunciation thing, making sure it is easy to understand and follow

[@holdenmyjeans]

@@iLeeduh I agree, I'm sure he does it more so people can understand him but KZbin has the function to speed up/slow down videos by the user so I don't understand why a creator would make his videos slower. My whole point is that it sounds like he is slowing his voice down in post not just talking slower, which I find kind of annoying.

[@RealBradMiller]

​@@holdenmyjeansMaybe people speak at different speeds just by way of the shape of their mouths, the way they were raised, habit, health issues, etc. So... Like stop. Speed it up or slow it down, and stfu.

[@Martial-Mat]

Absolutely hilarious that the authors thought that fusion energy somehow generated radiation at the user's home. That's as silly as saying that solar energy gives people sunburn!

[@jellymop]

I have to be honest, I thought I was coming into a video focused on Bethesda lol.

[@anzaca1]

Why? Because Bethesda hasn't lied about their games.

[@incredibleflameboy]

They definitely lied about the bugs because as it turned out they were features

[@Law0086]

I think lod Todd has given us bigger lies than this. I remember the FO76 pre sale debacle...

[@eatham.]

The problem with the Fallout TV Show I have with this is SPOILERS AHEAD: Like there was this big working towards fusion power in the game, and the big important bit for the institute was getting normal fusion power but now in the show it turns out cold fusion existed all along? It kinda nullifies the stakes with the energy crisis and the problems the BoS and Institute were having in the end of FO4 imo.

[@iami3rian394]

Almost watchable at 1.25x speed.

Watch this at 1.25 speed. Thank me later 👍
