I really hope Bethesda expands upon the Blue Ridge Caravan Co. It would be great if a small update surrounded the company. It would be cool if they also expanded their routes with other events like a Riding Shotgun Part 2 where it's more difficult to complete.

[@alwayscurious3357]

I hope in the Future Fallouts it could be a quest involving them and the Crimson Caravan Company. Like a company Feud of sorts. Would be intriguing.

16:46 The voice actor For the Blue Ridge Caravan Guard is Noshir Dalal well known for the voice of Charles Smith from RDR2. You can spot his voice on many different Scavengers and Settlers in Appalachia, there is also a random encounter where two people by the names of Dino and Carla are celebrating their 50th anniversary, Dino is also voice by none other than Noshir Dalal as well.

[@hellcat1401]

Noshir Dalal voices a lot of characters. Charles (RDR2), Scorpion (Cyberpunk 2077), Oda (Cyberpunk 2077), Bode (I think that's the characters name on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor), Knight Rhys (Fallout 4).

[@johnnthefalloutroleplaying8738]

The Blue Ridge Caravan Company will probably make an appearance in the TV show or in a future Fallout game. I guess that Blue Ridge is Bethesda's attempt at making an East Coast Crimson Caravan Company, but with no permanent Headquarters in Appalachia. It would be pretty interesting to see them have more quests later in the game.

[@chuckchuck4016]

i like to think Appalachia in 2287 is like the west coast by now in terms of development

You should do more videos on regular fallout 76 locations. Because your method of going through locations, finding notes and clues from the bodies, seems the perfect fit for how 76 locations are made. In particular, I would love to see your video on harpers ferry. The free stares is what theme all my camps have.

[@jamesfischer2427]

Doesn't it seem more likely that the BRC re-established trade routes some short time after the bombs dropped? Assuming that the blue ridge mountains fared in a similar way to Apilatchia, they may have not been able to go anywhere for maybe 10 years or so, then decided to try to re-establish the old routes. It has taken 26 years to work their way all the way back to WV. It just doesn't seem to be that they saddled Brahmin on Monday 25 October 2077 and went back to work.

[@your-username-here2308]

@elijah mikle Ehm no. Just alone because most People like you just look at stuff like this from a closed perspective. Alone that we dont know what is or happend in NC or between. Or if they had still working Pre War equipment like Cars, Robots , forklifts etc to clear roads or atleast make them safe. Or if that part of the Land got hit hard or not so much like WV. Or if you ask why it took so long to get to WV. There are alot of resones why it can take so long. Especially for a company. And especially after a Nuclear War. Expand your Buisness would not be so easy anymore. I could say the same thing about The Hub and other "Citys". Why they are still living in so much dirt etc. ""Plenty of brands do it. Mainly because the lore starts to put too many limits on the ability to tell new stories"" Thats not really true, like for the BoS, Envlave and Faction like this there is plenty of room. Because the early Years, there is just not much backround lore around them. Or to tell Storys that will led to events or Characters who apear in older Fallouts. Or just continuning Storys. Or just take the old Fallouts, for example Fallout 2 and NV or 3 and 4. You need to find a GECK, a big thing you would think. But now nobody in the Wasteland, not even big powerhouses in the Area are talking about it anymore. What makes not much sense because a GECK would be fucking Gold in almost anyones Hands.

[@MrSchplingle79]

They probably just now made it to the area in the game. They're led by someone living out of state, and they are just now "carving a way into Appalachia"

I've heard quiet a LOT that the only way to get the pepperoni roll recipe was from riding shotgun since I never saw Molly selling it, unless its either rare for her to sell or locked behind the HELL that is the max rep grind

[@neocerebus]

Well leave it to a trucking company to be able to adapt their business well in an apocalypse

[@TR-Graybles]

For some reason all the good loot I've ever gotten from this Quest came when I had 3/4 of the Extra Supplies found. The Peperoni Roll recipe (It can drop from the Quest very rarely), Gasmask, Outfit, Backpack and Flag dropped all when I missed one supply, so these days I just do it with one less supply, I know it's probably all RNG and being lucky, but still... why take the risk!

[@PufferTrippy]

Finally someone explaining the blue ridge caravan.

[@TheREALSimagination]

Makes sense that caravans would still be able to operate after the bombs. Aside from potential customers, the war didn't really destroy anything the caravans need to keep going.

[@joebenzz]

[@DurtyDan]

See this is the kind of event that you really want a good group of friends to do because it sounds like doing it by yourself is a pain in the butt.

[@usethevatsluke]

Eh. It is a pain if you just want a specific BRC related plan, or all of them, because grinding to appease the RNG gods can get tiresome. The event itself is easy enough. Either way, you get caps, xp, weapons, ammo, and loot, so it's not all bad.

[@gassyirishman2859]

Vinny is awesome to me because he's the first true Italian Mobster sounding character that sounds real. The other characters with a mafia style don't have that depressed tone that sounds like he's either going to make someone eat a shotgun or he's gonna eat the shotgun himself...also Aries sounds exactly like I hope I would if I lost my mind...

[@The_Last_of_K]

At first as a person which is absolutely unfamiliar with that kind of music you've recorded for this series intro I was thinking that it is too goofy, but at this point every time I start watching new video on Wastelanders I noticed that I also sing it and it's quite nice. Damn it, Oxhorn

[@redd3711]

Finally. I was waiting for you to do a video on this. Also I really like the Blue Ridge Caravan Company. I get an older Fallout vibe from them which is rather lacking in recent fallout games.

[@ferristhered1401]

I wonder if Blue Ridge's operations will gradually expand with the updates this year. Since Foundation and Crater seem intended to slowly grow as time goes on, and we know the Brotherhood will be arriving later this year, I would love to see Appalachia's (NPC) trade network slowly expanding. The kind of wasteland infrastructure that was already in place by the time of Fallout 1, while it's still new.

[@name_it]

Actually I found that Euguine was selling many of the lost equipment to the Boodied eagles. And this was without Kieran permission. I found it in the Watoga underground on a note. Anyway somewhat I didn't like her since the begin. :)

[@MrSchplingle79]

You'd think she'd sell them to people who don't actively try to kill her. She makes it to Foundation and Crater pretty often, and she has a whole compound full of folks who I'm sure could use a few extra supplies.

[@jamesgibbs649]

Being a trucker one thing stood out to me. Commercial trucks are prohibited on the parkway. The Parkway runs from the southern terminus of Shenandoah National Park's Skyline Drive in Virginia to U.S. 441 at Oconaluftee in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park near Cherokee, North Carolina. There is no fee for using the Blue Ridge Parkway; however, commercial vehicles are prohibited, except for tour buses.

If you're having trouble it's almost certainly those mongrels that get under the Brahmin and bite away at them where they're hard to see. Also if you area loot and see a hat or helmet there is a cache nearby since there's always a guard corpse with a hat/helmet next to the boxes.

[@Foreststrike]

Truth be told, I think Aries is from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The only way he tastes ash and has blood in his throat could only be from the steel mills and heavily polluted water in that area. Whether he was a raider or a slave is questionable. But now that I think on it, I can only assume he's from one of the coal mining towns in West Virginia, Black Lung occurs often around coal mines.

[@MrSchplingle79]

One popular theory is that he was nearly a mole miner but didn't reach the stage that most of the hostile ones have

Most people that I know that use shotguns prefer it. It may be less powerful than the Pump or the Double barrel but it has a very high ammo capacity and the reload speed is much faster.
