Fallout's Mysterious Great Game: Who Are The Other Players? | Fallout Lore

In the irradiated swamplands of Point Lookout, a rivalry more than two hundred years in the making, reaches it’s bitter end.
Desmond Lockhart, a pre-war British ghoul and former spy vs Professor Calvert, a brilliant government scientist, reduced to a power-hungry brain in a jar.
As is so often the case, its up to the Lone Wanderer to decide who wins but this rivalry wasn’t just born out of a mutual dislike.
As both characters are players in a much larger game. Fallout’s Great Game, a kill or be killed conflict between the last vestiges of the old world’s pre-war elite who all managed to find ways to cheat death, and continue playing.
In todays video we revisit the conflict between the two players we know, the factions involved, the events which take place and all of the potential endings. Before finishing with some theories over who the other players may be.

[@rikusschulze6249]

"The Great Game" is a euphemism for espionage and covert operations to further the goals of Nations and, sometimes, singular people. But it's mostly espionage, sometimes for the sake of espionage. Desmond is a fromer agent of some nation and he is hunting down the last couple of adversaries of his time as one before the war, probably to settle old scores. I don't know if you knew that, but if you did, you should have mentioned what the great game is.

[@UraniumFever76]

It's more of a nod mate, 'The Great Game' IRL was a very specific conflict between the British and Russian Empires in the 19th century over their holdings in Asia. All done via proxies and espionage and didn't boil over into direct war between them. In Fallout it's clearly a reference to that but doesn't seem to be nation specific, rather its powerful individuals. As Desmond is British I doubt it was a conflict between the US and England.

[@aa-tr9xt]

@@UraniumFever76 I thought any goodwill between the us and england had worn away by the time of the great war? Am I mistaken? Great video though

[@UraniumFever76]

@@aa-tr9xt Thanks! No you aren't, and I would have to double check this, but from memory the Resource Wars in Europe was mostly infighting between European nations and then taking a leaf of the US's book after invading Mexico, a 'European Commonwealth' invaded the Middle East for resources. After that the US annexed Canada and then obviously the Sino-American war. I think the details are left deliberately light but the inference to me at least, was the UK wouldn't have been much of a player on the international stage compared to the US.

[@DISTurbedwaffle918]

Everyone has a "Great Game" they play, and some are greater than others.

@@UraniumFever76 The 'Great Game' in the fallout context likely is a reference to this and would have similarities. We know Desmond is British and likely MI6 and is working against Americans, who weren't on the best of terms with Europe pre war as far as we know. From this it can be assumed through Occams Razor (which is a weapon in fallout 3 btw look it up) that the pre war UK and US were engaged in espionage battles, over what or why though we do not know.

Shadow governments, aliens, eldritch entities, strangers, and some lucky or unlucky nobodies; who knows how big the great game really is? It may also be a clever way for the devs to pat them selves on the back for the back story they have written.

I do think they are a pretty big deal I just don't think characters like Desmond or Calvert (and presumably other players of the Great Game) would have known how powerful they were or what they were really up to. Dunwich pre-war kept what they were doing very very quiet and the Cabots although very wealthy and influential in Boston society, kept their immortality a secret. Jack faked his own death several times, then posed as a new distant relative to inherit the family property.

[@UraniumFever76]

Desmond would 100% be a side quest for him haha I am hoping his ending is canon actually.

[@DelinquentChibi]

Definitely think House could've been a member of the Great Game. It makes too much sense for a man of his caliber, but I'm not terribly sure about Bradburton. If he truly were a member of the Great Game, he wouldn't have been sidelined by the Walt Disney treatment(I had to make the reference, lol). He would've had plans in place, a wider network or some way to control things. That being said, I feel like the Great Game would've had maybe only one person from each nation. Perhaps some sort of Illuminati or Freemason-adjacent shadow organization? Calvert was the American member, Lockhart was the British/U.K. member. Braun could be another one, being the German member, but I don't think he would fit. He's content to play god in his simulation, he has no ulterior motives for the world at large. He doesn't even seem to care about the Vault Experiments themselves, and he's "supposedly" a large driving force behind a lot of them.(I could be confusing actual lore with lore-friendly mods here). Of course, if my hypothesis is true, that leaves us to question how many "nations" took part in this Game, but it's a possibility, even if it's a small one.

[@UraniumFever76]

I totally understand what you are saying about Bradberton. What I would say though, is taking in to account what he thought he was getting from this deal; a living biosuit that would allow him to function as normal. He was fiercely competitive and awful lol but how his ambition would have translated to a post-war environment I'm unsure. The Great Game as a concept is a nod to the proxy conflict between the British and Russian empires in the 19th century, but I feel like in Fallout it's more focussed on individuals rather than institutions.

[@t84t748748t6]

Great video and it’s kinda neat to have these types of fan theories and thought experiments. I think Bradberton being a part of the great game actually makes some sense. I’d be inline with his character and Desmond does say he needs to “head north” when you last speak to him so I can definitely see that. House tho I really don’t see, he says it himself that he doesn’t care what other people do and just wants to advance the world for what he sees as the better. And while I don’t think everyone out there both in game/lore or even fan wise agree with House’s goals, he doesn’t strike me as someone who would care about something like the Great Game.

[@UraniumFever76]

Thank you! Appreciate you checking out the video. Bradberton also had his own private army in Nuka World with all of the very advanced robots. I think the next stages of House's plan after New Vegas could include eliminating anyone who would stand in his way of one day building colony ships to escape Earth (interestingly a very similar to the motivation of the Enclave).

[@tonts5329]

The Mysterious Stranger, i think he's just a guy trying to lookout for people. Maybe even some kind of role passed on to different people throughout the post-war wasteland? They potentially stick around the Lone Wanderer/Courier etc as they recognise them as someone very important, a mover/shaker who's changing things up? Also amusingly his influence extends past Fallout into other games where similar characters exist, like Middle-Earth: Shadow of War with Forthog Orc-Slayer showing up to save Talion, always mysteriously showing up to help. Just like the stranger.

@@UraniumFever76 Yeah. Maybe more players got added.

[@lord0jackostar]

I feel like there’s two Games running in sync. The Pre-War Game, with Desmond and the other survivors. It’s got a shrinking player group, and they all play for keeps. The Post-War Game is possibly what Tenpenny is playing. A different group of players, with the same motivations but maybe slightly less “at any cost” survival instincts. I can’t see Tenpenny ghoulifing himself just to get an edge on the others; but there’s multiple Pre-War individuals that did horrific things to themselves to see the other side of the war and keep going. I feel like the Pre-Game players have a slight superiority complex over the Post-Game players, like grown adults or old survivors of crime families watching children play at Cops & Robbers.

[@dreamingflurry2729]

A bit of a pickle, hm? I see what you did there ;) - Well done!

[@UraniumFever76]

Haha it lined up nicely!

[@th3fish]

I never really enjoyed the point lookout dlc but its nice that it has deep lore connections

[@brandonl7759]

Lol as someone from Maryland id like to clear up a common misconception with its pronunciation. Its Mare-lend, ive heared people from the US call it Mary-land so you're not alone 😂

[@UraniumFever76]

Lol I've learnt the hard way! Of course its one those where in the UK we also have a Maryland (multiple) and is definitely not pronounced like that. But you've got to go with the one in question! I will be making sure to get that right in future!

[@brandonl7759]

@@UraniumFever76 haha it's really no big deal, thats cool that yall have Marylands too!

[@jonathanwatson4484]

I think Desmound would very much get a lot of information from the think tank, since he could remind them quite strongly about the past, they would tell him everything he need know about lunch codes and other possible players, and I think the goal of the great game is simply to eliminate and neutralise other attendees as the world to them is serve on a silver plate. also I can imagine house would be the toughest opponent Desmound would face, house has pretty much succeeded on his own goals, and it very likely house would either give desmound what he wants, or offer the ghoul the opportunity to work with him in the shaping of the world

[@Admiralofthedeeps]

This was a great video.

[@UraniumFever76]

Thanks very much! Appreciate you checking it out 😊

[@humanmale1042]

Maybe the great game was pre war espionage, and this is the last of those involved settling who’s gonna live

[@TransFemceI]

There should have been an option to turn the Nuka-Cola guy into a synth now that I think about it

[@TheVenomousBeetle]

What did you know

[@UraniumFever76]

Lol what do you mean?

[@UraniumFever76]

Ohhhh…. The TV series lmao? I just finished watching it

[@TheVenomousBeetle]

@@UraniumFever76yeah lol

[@TheVenomousBeetle]

Tracked this video down cuz I was like damn I just saw a video on this recently

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

The “y” is silent in pronouncing “Maryland.” So it’s like, “MARE-lynn’D”

[@illwill6080]

Simular to how you properly pronounce Baltimore its pronounced baldmore people from Maryland seem to hate the I sound

[@nowsmile790]

I believe there is one person you might’ve forgotten that is not on the list the name to add to your list of people who might’ve been a participant in the great game I believe a good candidate was Frederick Sinclair He had lots of political and financial power as well as many things I believe he would personally fit in perfectly.

[@BI0Monkey1]

maybe you get luck from cannibalizing mr house w/ meat of champions because, oh, I dunno, he owns VEGAS??? And all its casinos?That’s like Vegas’ whole thing. I don’t think it has anything to do with house himself being lucky

A quote for on the mysterious stranger in Fallout 1 “I don’t talk much”

[@ravenoferin500]

Is it just me or does the "You will suffer. You will all suffer." Line sound like it's a reference to Jon in BG2?

[@KefkeWren]

I think that the Mysterious Stranger has his explanation in Fallout 76...specifically through the Order of Mysteries. Although the agents of their group were all women, we see a similarity in the weapons, tactics, and even the name given to the Mysterious Stranger. I would be willing to bet that the Mysterious Stranger is actually a group, and that they either come from survivors of the betrayal of the Order - possibly even Frederick Rivers, the sole male member - or someone who found the Order's headquarters later, as the player does, and copied their tech and training.

[@krivexyt5986]

Is the proffesor's voice the same one as the one that does the Darlek one??

[@UraniumFever76]

Nicholas Briggs? I don't think so but I will check!

[@jessep5280]

I'm more curious to know where Desmond went after. He mentions going north to pursue his next target, and I've always been so curious about that. Almost as if it is some kind of long tease. Plus, he's a ghoul, so we may yet see him in the future. I hope so, as I've always had a soft spot for no-nonsense, hard-ass characters like Desmond.

[@junkmail3947]

I just finished watching The fallout show and I think there's a reference to the great game in there

[@Adam_TG]

What about Dean Domino? Could he be a player in the Great Game as well?

[@Dodge_this]

I love the swamp people, hillbilly ogres are pretty funny. Anyway I think Mr House is obviously a good pick for the great game when you first think about it......however, the longer you think the less sense it seems to make, I doubt House would care to play deeming it unworthy of his attention, house also makes it clear what his goals for the post war world were and how he wants to achieve them

[@AllpostsFilms]

Mr House is my favourite character in fallout, definitely the best faction to side with!

[@RememberHisLove]

We wouldn't be so lucky to have a good central plot for Fallout 5. No, Bethesda will have to remind us again how much they really want to make another Terminator game with the base game and leave all the good bits for DLCs...

[@NVY-Krom]

masterpiece

[@TheBearInTheChair]

I made so many moonshine runs to Point lookout

[@UraniumFever76]

Thank you! Point Lookout is one of my favourite DLCs

[@NVY-Krom]

@@UraniumFever76 fallout 3 is easily my favorite games, keep up the content man its class

[@honorguard7616]

Surprised you didn't do this in Fallout 3

[@NotyoBizness]

So... House had the same endgame as vault tec? I believe the experiments in the vaults were (at the beginning) executed to test different extreme situations in an enclosed space (spaceship/spacestation) because they believed the great war is inevetable. The show kinda retconed this unfortunatly... always gave the Zetans a bigger role in the shadows... hope they kinda hint on that and dont retcon it copletly

[@CrashCraftLabs]

hy does the character look like the one from fo4? was that default or did you intentionally do it?

[@TheDarthWarlok]

It's possible Bradberton and General Braxton were players in the game, from what Desmond said about sabotaging the presidential cantidate it's possible it was going on pre-war

[@BLCKWTRNORTHSTAR]

Perhaps I missed you talking about this, but I believe M.O.D.U.S. could and would be one of the largest players in the Great Game. I believe he mentions a sort of "Game" that they and the Enclave were involved in, and similar to everybody else- got turned into Robobrains or brains in jars that control a facility.

[@rottenspooks3518]

I've actually never heard the theory that The Mysterious Stranger is a time traveller before

[@kennyayy8949]

I always just thought it was a reference to Highlander aha

[@movarie]

the strangers are a group and they come to the aid of those who will one day join them.
