Hope you all enjoy this video! Let me know what else you’d like to see from Fallout or other games!

[@Calhouned]

I would love to see more Cyberpunk lore. Maybe the history of the Nomad clans?

[@WiseFish]

@@Calhouned working on that as well as a series that’ll be for Cyberpunk.

[@bobjim245]

a couple of fallout ideas could be dog/god, Herbert daring dashwood, anything/anyone from the Pitt dlc in fallout 3 but asher specifically and maybe the story of the trogs? :)

[@cheeseborgers]

@@bobjim245 This. Do more dlc content bro

[@sethleoric2598]

Don't worry, Elijah is still out there, making Little Dark Age Fallout edits.

[@jclark5956]

so smart but is tricked by a guy with a stealth boy and pockets full of good bars

[@punishedvenomsnake716]

This guy, man, this fricking guy was part of what made the Sierra Madre *so* tense for me. Just an absolutely stunning villain the way in the way that he masterminded the whole thing with inhumane methods only to possibly be locked in his own vault. Just poetic tbh Bro, love your vids. I always watch them during them a workout and it makes time fly Haha 🔥

[@Subject_Keter]

Butthole barely masterminded crap, he set up traps and had to wait for people to do his work... that like having a plan incase you fail... which is a sign of failure.

[@811brian]

Always kinda pissed me off that this is the one dlc you can’t return to after finishing the first time. We just have to accept the canonical fact that the Courier is like “Fuck this place, never coming back!”🖕

[@employee962]

The courier doesn't know the way back

[@crimsondynamo615]

Only person who can navigate it safely is Dog because he can sniff the path when the cloud lets up, and depending on how we deal with him, he’s gone.

[@NinjasticFlare]

Excellent video as always. Dead Money was always my favorite DLC. It’s almost a completely separate game with how they set it up. I do wish there was more dialogue about the DLC’s in the base game.

[@RedStar441]

Basically Elijah was the wastelands most dangerous autsit. Amazing.

[@StaggerjAGGER]

Father Elijah made me think about society and how deep rooted greed really is in it.

[@chinupofficial4421]

Yea, especially when you can see his own greed come out

[@fankgaming7753]

Just woke up feeling something awful, so glad to see this right now 😌

[@WiseFish]

Hope the rest of your day goes okay my dude! Sorry you ain’t doing so well

[@geoxev9423]

I left him a few bottles of water and a few snacks for him. Then I locked the vault.

[@waragon4737]

I left him a gun and 1 gold bar as a sick joke of eat gold 😂

[@Gamer-ry6xy]

The next video should be about Mr. House or Ulysses

[@NobushigeAzai]

Ulysses would be the perfect follow-up especially since he's featured in this video.

[@UltFemWarrior]

Out of all the fallout content you've covered this my fave. Keep up the awesome work!

[@erieperry8241]

There's no greater feeling then taking EVERYTHING from the vault and sneaking past Elijah and locking him in. Hearing him lose his mind in the vault is the best!

[@waragon4737]

And then says "n-no no I still have pip boy light doesn't work!" Even though he insults us for having one I never got the ending of him locked in begging to be let out despite doing everything to get it 😂

[@jamiecranton]

Never got to play the DLCS back in the day but I've been going through them on a modded new Vegas run and oh boy they're amazing, literally turns the game into a survival horror, loved god/dogs story so much but I've always loved none Bethesda mutans

[@TheGoldenMan888]

I really feel bad for Father Elijah, he just lost his senses because he couldn't make the Brotherhood of steel as great as what Maxson did in Fallout 4, if Elijah was alive and seeing what Maxson achieved he would die because of sheer happiness that his dear faction achieved the greatness once he dreamed of, i can see Elijah teaching Maxson how to be a great leader like the story with King Arthur and Merlin were with each other, of course it will remain as an idea though sadly, if that happened though they would be the strongest faction in the whole world actually but of course the way how the Brotherhood operates i wouldn't call it a good ending for humanity and the world in general, it would be something like out of Warhammer.

[@cheeseborgers]

All interesting points, though I think it was more bethesda wanting to make them grand in fallout 4 than any type of in world, in lore, explanation. Elijah wanted to wipe the slate clean. No previous iterations on the Mojave, period. No NCR, no legion, no Khans, no Brotherhood, and no Axioms. He wanted to reshape the world, reshape it in a way where it was nothing like what happened at Helios one; begin again and let go of the wasteland as it is so the future may embrace a better world with rules and axioms set down by Elijah, to fufill his prime directive; start a new chapter of the brotherhood, again, and to reshape the wasteland into a "better" place, but only for his own.

[@thesweetone]

Awesome video man. The first time I played this DLC I had no idea what I was doing, being ages ago, and everytime after that it glitches to no end so I never played it. But since I got a new PC I'm inspired to try it out . Thanks

[@nihilvt]

I found that mod that let me side with Elijah at the end of Dead Money thereby killing Dog, Dean, and Christine but you got a hologram beacon throwable and Red Cloud missiles, given missions to bomb Hoover Dam with a rocket filled with the cloud, the best mod I've seen tbh

[@sethblack549]

omg ive always wanted to side with elijah and basicly take over the wastes lol

[@whimsy0451]

Every video is impeccable. Splendidly deep lore, expertly conveyed. Diction and cadence, superb. Top notch.

[@Luke47895]

I regret that I didn't fully appreciate Dead Money on my first play of it. However, playing it again I loved it, the atmosphere, having to manage your resources much more carefully and the overall message of letting go of your desires for the better, a true work of art. As much as I liked the message, you can sure as shit bet I used the hack and took every last gold bar with me. And of course another fantastic video, please keep them coming, they're always a pleasure to listen to.

[@811brian]

Letting go? The courier is forced to do Elijahs bidding up until the final act! I’ll be damned if some maniacal techie is gonna push a message on ME after being his slave!

[@hughgrection7246]

no need to hack dude. dismember someone , carry a body part there with click drag , load gold bars into corpse inventory then click drag body part back to sell ze gold.

[@Davidsladky135]

I've watched a lot of Fallout lore videos but never seen one this detailed about him, puts a lot into perspective!

[@Subject_Keter]

I still want to know where Elijah was the whole time in the Casino

[@5ve1e79]

They went over that in the video he was stuck in the bunker when you get to the bunker you free him what’s the you thick?!

[@bobbybsburner9729]

@@5ve1e79 nah hes in the penthouse suite at the very top I think. You cant get up there without mods

[@crimsondynamo615]

He’s in Puesta Del Sol north. If you stand on a certain rooftop you can receive a new radio signal, and listening to it, you hear him talking to himself. So it’s safe to say he’s there for the most part until you activate the gala event, then books it to the casino first before the four of us.

[@Cothfotmeoo]

An ultimate cult leader type. XD Really tried his best to get everything he wanted. Well played.

[@matthewanderson9754]

I find people with higher intelligence level actually do lack basic social skill, and have a higher precieved notion of, they need to survive more than any other person, and those with more common sense and average iq are more willing to fight for those beside them and sacrifice for the greater good of those around them. Man I love these deep dives into character mindset and and such! Keep up the great work!!!😁

[@colddaze6680]

Heard something like that before, but not put so clearly in so many words before. Interesting a f.

[@chinupofficial4421]

God I love all of fallout, I've taken the time to find all possibile lore from all the games but just hearing it all again is so nice

[@jasonx1174]

Thank you for covering my favorite villain in the Fallout franchise.

[@AryanJatt999]

another great lore video

[@jacksonlucero1025]

As one of the paintings in the abandoned BoS bunker. "Left my Love in the serria madre"

[@Matt-md5yt]

glad you covered Father Elijah, he is a pretty crazy dude.

[@feralprocessor9853]

Right off the bat, a banner of the Bos.

[@phantomhurricane666]

anger and sadness washes away, leaving only the dark temptation of revenge. remember that!

[@Antibong]

Why? Cause it’s corny and edgy?

[@beckyknott9793]

Enjoy all your videos mate, writing this will I watch it gave ya a like right at the start. Confident's bro.

Lol it was supposed to say while I Wright this.. lol .. wow.. what a d#@khead I am. How many of you saw that haha.

[@jackashmore]

I was honestly expecting him to make an appearance in the show on how it’s direction is going

[@Calhouned]

Aw hell naw peepaw learned how to use the IPad Jokes aside, love the video! Elijah is one of my favorite New Vegas characters so this is a lovely video to see.

[@MultiKillerjoe]

Greed and Power Corrupts

[@dcross6360]

Solid presentation

[@Nedzilla345]

One of my favorite villains in the Fallout universe. I'm interested in the story of Liberty Prime if you haven't done so.

[@ghostsofwargow2511]

Great video man. Elijah was such a brilliant and complex character. Bethesda hit it out of the park with this DLC.

[@topcat59]

I hate the fact that he still thinks he’s not a traitor to the brotherhood, like the guy left them when they lost Helios one and majority of their forces. I’m pretty sure they have every right to call him a traitor.🐱

[@1337wafflezz]

There is no possible fate that could befall Father Elijah which isn’t still too good for him. …I settled for stealing literally every single thing which wasn’t bolted to the walls, sneaking past him + his barrier, and blowing him up with 5 bottle cap mines right underneath his dumb, obnoxious, traitorous, schizophrenic feet. But he still somehow deserves much much much much worse

[@Antibong]

@@1337wafflezzdamn sounds like the video game guy pissed on your cornflakes

[@1337wafflezz]

@@Antibong Well Dead Money in general is the most pretentious DLC ever made. But yes, Father Elijah is the culmination of every single ounce of that pretentiousness in a single character. …Did you not play the game? Dude lies and tricks you, gasses and kidnaps you, strips you of all possessions, puts a bomb collar on you, threatens to kill you if you don’t cooperate, tells you and forces you to go on an easter egg hunt across an abandoned village littered with nigh immortal and insane zombie-ghost people and boobytraps along with an invincible hologram death security system…all the while needing to cooperate with a bunch of other colorful cast that he did the exact same thing to. And if that isn’t bad enough…he tries to kill you anyways when you succeed? I don’t care what he believes in…That deserves a fatman to the face. It’s only a bonus to how loathable he is when he turns out to be an idealistic and arrogant prick on top of the other stuff. There is literally no New Vegas character worse than Father Elijah. Prove me wrong.

Nah the dude would've been immediately shot he knew that

[@tristanjorritsma9709]

Father Elijah is one of the few characters in NV who seems to be entirely evil. He doesn’t seem to particularly care about the Brotherhood, but rather wants revenge on the NCR for “robbing him” of his precious Helios One. He harms Veronica and Christine, abandons his chapter, uses the people of Little Yangtze as test subjects, kidnaps random wastelanders for his “heist”, etc, unlike even Caesar, Vulpes, House, etc, Elijah seems to only serve himself and satisfying his ego and desire for revenge.

[@DiscothecaImperialis]

he began with a zealous BoS Mojave chapter elader, doing everything 'For the Brotherhood', so obsessive in fighting NCR. anything that can be used against the Republic is always approprate to him (even recruiting Enclave goons, or if FEV samples is somewhere in the Mojave he wouldn't hesitate to use against NCR, too bad there isn't). he did learn that Helios One solar powerplant is weaponized. (Courier can even learn of this later, and can even exploit it to his / her own uses). too bad he didn't notice the original purpose of Helios One is to be power plant and not fortified military compound. and thus the site is placed wide open, not defensible. It is what NCR called Operation Sunburn that ended his career as Brotherhood Elder of Mojave Chapter. Allevone did write his endings as doomed in the end. (in all 'game continue' Dead Money endings, 'Elijah must die', either way (slain in a duel with player, or tricked into treasure vault).

[@NobushigeAzai]

Your game looks amazing. What graphical mods do you use?

[@stingerjohnny9951]

Ah yes, the Rick Sanchez of New Vegas. Mr “I’m very smart so I don’t need to value life.” A classic case of all intelligence with no wisdom.

[@colddaze6680]

Damn right. Classic case of high IQ with pretty much zero EQ. And that's why he fails each time .

[@alphawolf3194]

Damn, you been fast at making vids.

[@WiseFish]

I love what I do!

[@boondocksaints2011]

If the world those become a wasteland someday , there will be people like father Elijah out there.

[@feralprocessor9853]

Wonder why this Lore vid wasn't included in the Fallout lore playlist of Wisefish?

[@bobbybsburner9729]

Highly recommend the DUST mod to anyone who hasnt heard of it before. The basic premise is that everything in the base game went to shit and elijah won by sending Legion Remnants to start sabotaging the NCR scientists in Vegas with the Cloud after he escapes the vault in Dead Money. Then the tunnelers and dust storms from Lonesome Road creep into the Mojave and turn the whole map into a hellhole full of cannibals and death.

[@istvanbrooks5319]

It's just "everything is shit now and every character you like died." It's grimdark crap that's poorly designed

[@colddaze6680]

​@@istvanbrooks5319yeah , have to agree. Turns Zion into same hell hole with clouds and Joshua into a wendigo.. Joshua would be the last guy to cannibalise anyone I think. Especially not his precious tribals or Daniel etc Looks like an ok survival game like Frost. But never played, and just glad that is not canon lore for Joshua. An avenging angel, a redeemed holy man ,born out of fire and sheer will, strength and determination to become victim to some lowly toxic clouds and spores... I don't think so. Guy was too smart and too quick and strong to not see something like that coming at Zion a mile off. He's a legend of Fallout, a beloved legendary survivor. Much like Randall Clark. But Joshua needs to survive. He's a beacon of hope , not just for his Mormon - New Canaanites, and tribals. But for anyone that looks up to him and relates on any level. He's a living Fallout legend, and should always remain so.

[@luissantiago5163]

Ah classic

[@zarathustra6116]

It bothered me that the casino won't take your equipment because it's contaminated but the Pip boy is fine. Maybe there's an explanation I don't remember. Anyways, great video as always.

[@WiseFish]

I’m guessing it’s cause the Pipboy was made for all conditions due to it being made before the Great War? No idea that would be my thinking anyway

[@zarathustra6116]

@@WiseFish I think the Pip boy just has plot armor lol, thanks for heart and reply

[@TheOnlyHBIC]

Was there a vault for the creators of vault tech? And was there a vault for powerful people such as the president?

[@colddaze6680]

Good question, always wondered that about the Vault Tec corporation high ups. No doubt there had to be at least one main super high tech controlled Vault for them that worked like they told their customers they would. President would of been housed in some super hight tech military/ presidential bunker along with essential aids and staff and military personnel no doubt. Covert bunker not even Vault Tec was privvy too. But probably Enclave knew about. Enclave basically being the shadow government, back up if the main elected president and staff didn't survive.

[@PMO.DB98]

I used to play music from my flash drive back on the 360 I had some songs from Resident Evil outbreak needless to say I made this dlc more intense/scary for myself I remember it like yesterday this was My junior year stayed up trying to finish it so I wouldn’t have to come back to ghost people The architecture of the Sierra Madre was also more narrow and claustrophobic than the base game or other dlcs

[@JoshPlaysVideoGames]

Cool cool

If Elijah was so smart Why couldn't he had made a gauss rifle That could carry more than one freaking shot!!

[@tinaherr3856]

Based on some of his dialouge at the fountain, I think that canonically he is supposed to use an upgraded Holorifle. But I think the developers just gave him a gauss rifle. Prehaps due to issues with giving an NPC a new weapon

[@feralprocessor9853]

SCIENCE!!!

[@elxr9434]

Im sad he didnt get a unique model

[@WallNutBreaker524]

What if Elijah made the Archimedes worked just in time? 20:46 wish Elijah would succeed.

[@colddaze6680]

He would of annihilated the NCR and they would of held Helios one. He would of annihilated just about all NCR forces in Mojave , assuming he didn't target the Strip either.

[@Wellspring604]

Is all this Father Elijah lore in the game?? I just finished the dlc Dead Money, and I don't recall this backstory and information...

[@colddaze6680]

Lore masters find and extrapolate pieces of information from various other canon , and not so canon sources linked to the games and it's known and not so well known lore. That's how they become lore masters yeah. Fallout Wiki, is a great spot , an encyclopedia of any known Fallout information.

[@joshuamadjoker4399]

Looovvveee it

[@Asterion_Mol0c]

Man he was a good villain if the dlc was not so shit

[@phantomhurricane666]

the BOS are my favourite faction. even if they are borderline-nazis with the arrogance to think that any and all tech that survived the nukes belongs to them. in fallout 4, my character became a sentinel. in the BOS, a sentinel can challenge the chapter elder to a battle for leadership. but bethesda removed it.
