The Chosen One | Fallout Lore

Come in Chosen One. There are things you must know. The village is dying the signs are everywhere. Withering crops. Dying Brahmin. Sick children. There is hope, however. A slim hope that few know of. The old disks speak of an item called the garden of Eden creation kit. It is said it can bring life to the wasteland. This will be your quest if you prove yourself worthy. For that proof you must first journey to the temple of trials. If you survive come back to me we will talk more. Our life is in your hands Chosen One. Prove yourself, find the GECK, be our salvation. At twenty years old The Chosen One was taken to the temples entrance where Klint the temples guardian made sure they wouldn’t leave without taking the mystic test. They had after all trained for this moment their entire life.
Inside they found a strange corridor made of stone along with various obstacles they needed to beat. There were giant ants, radscorpions with venomous stingers, deadly floor traps and Cameron a tribal and expert in unarmed combat. While we don’t know how The Chosen One passed the test, they could have used any combination of skills, but in the very last room atop the stairs, They found The Vault Dwellers Jumpsuit, a relic of their grandfather’s, and with it they could prove to the elder that they were ready to be The tribe’s Champion. You have survived the temple of trials. Are you ready for your quest? Pay attention. Find the holy vault 13 and bring back the GECK. Vic, the trader from Klamath brought us the flask from the holy 13. Start your search with him. The disk will remind you of your task. may the gods of the vault watch over you.

What about the lone wanderer...

[@bloodycrow01]

Honestly, as many of you likely have by now, having played fo1 and 2 on their corresponding years, I'd say chosen one is a good mix of strength and intelligence toppling the other protagonists, mainly because of his background being that of a tribal without many resources as other had. Vault dweller goes second simply because of what they achieved after living a lot of time relatively well in a vault, while lone wanderer goes third due to ALL the things he had to go through still taking in account his background as a veteran, which only makes him a more dangerous character than the others. Then comes the courier, while being in my second favorite game the courier always felt more of the embodiment of luck itself rather than the inventive or a highly skilled due to its background character, all of this taking into account ALL the adventures he had to go through on all dlcs. Though as far as games themselves go NV is vastly superior to the others since bugs aside it balanced out gameplay with roleplaying including an amazing story, would be amazing if bugthesda decided to check in with obsidian on remaking NV on a new engine, maybe something without glaring bugs as NV had, but I guess it also depends on what ppl rather play, isometrical wasn't bad in itself, but mindless 3rd person or 1P shooting is your thing while roleplaying then the later entries to fallout are the best.

[@mewmewsasfirebell]

It kind of warms my heart to know that the overseers decision to banish the vault dweller wasn't unanimously accepted. That they even took to the wasteland themselves in search of them.

[@johnnojojack-exe]

I love stories about a band of misfits becoming friends so seeing consisting of a human, an intelligent deathclaw, and cybernetic dog was a joy to see. I'm also liking the supernatural aspect of the hero's journey that we don't really see in the other games. They do have mystical aspects but not like this. Not that I know of at least.

[@MatsuSenpaii]

Also, Lone Wanderer, Courier, and Sole Survivor have lots of allies and even a Ghoul and a Super Mutant too Yet they never managed to get an ally from an Intelligent Deathclaw That's also one of the many points that Fallout 2 is one of the best in the series

[@jaspergregorio9774]

well it could also be the other way around, no?

[@zamordomin]

First time I played, I the moment I entered the room I reflexively entered combat mode and destroyed all the gun turrets because it never occurred to me that they wouldn't shoot me. When I fought Frank I was fighting Him AND the enclave squad although all the turrets were destroyed and the soldiers could never reach me before they died. Granted I had a Fast shot gaus pistol with the sniper perk, 10 luck, better criticals, and action boy so I could fire like 6 times per turn, but even then Frank got me a few times with some nasty back to back crits of his own.

They live in a world of technology, even while in ruins, it’s more advanced than anything you and I have witnessed.

This also happened to me on my first run. You need 100% resistance to radioactivity in The Glow. When you arrive, immediately boost with Rad-X. It's best never to sleep there or play chess with the supercomputer, because then the effect of the Rad-X wears off.

It's likely an allusion to the Garden of Eden from Christian mythology. Adam and Eve were banished from Eden, but it's still seen as a holy place.

[@rahadianaryo5979]

@@skyn3817 Well thanks for *your knowledge of the biblical lore* ♰📖 right here ya...👍😉

[@donovanulrich348]

😅 its easy to explain These people are not modern people, they grew up without the local knowledge we have. But they need words to explain what actually happened and what is Valut 13 probably became known as a form of "Heaven" a haven from the wasteland, and inside holds many life sustaining secrets The overlord was the one who exiled the vault dweller, seen as "god" or "master" of the vault. And if the people who left 13 found new rano then stories of how they purged Heven but the knowledge of the past grows harder and harder to understand and process CD's and flashdrives get remembered as "holy disks" cuz they show information from nothing, and its nothing they themselves can create. Its a magic

I hope he was able to find peace in the end .

Synonymous, you are one of my favorite Fallout lore channels. Along with Nth Apple and Oxhorn, N_orte, Tks Mantis and RadKing. Also the village elder was voiced by the same actress who played Shadow Weaver in the 80's She-Ra cartoons. I don't quite remember her name.

[@norikofu509]

This channel just keeps getting better with every update!

[@marcusnt5489]

i had already known the story of Fallout 2 but you made it worthwhile with your retelling, almost felt like my first time finding out about the first fallout games. awsome video

[@Chris-jw8vm]

1:19:00 From now on I'm purging NCR on sight.

[@OddJames]

I have been saving this specifically for a slow day. Thank you for all the amazing content as always I hope you did not get demonetized because I did not get a single advertisement for the video on my phone and I know you worked extremely hard on this like everything else you create.

[@daorientalgamer6610]

I love fallout. And your videos make learning about the games enjoyable, your editing style and narration are phenomenal

[@Synonymous101]

Hey, that's awesome! I'm glad you like them 😁👍

[@Rodclutcher]

Thank you for how detailed and long this video is, it’s awesome!! You did a great job brother.

[@Domdrok]

Fantiastic video! It's so cool to see all the original game footage and voice actors! Thank you for all of the work you put into the video!

[@headhunter576432]

You make some of the best Fallout videos, i really hope you cover everything eventually!!

[@twinphalanx4465]

It's amazing how this is still the largest fallout story we have gotten when it comes to scale.

[@popola9466]

Normally I watch youtube on a 2nd screen not really paying attention. However this video I'm going to watch fully paying attention. This seems like such an epic video!

[@brothers_of_nod]

Some people think the Chosen One is No-Bark, I personally hate that theory, the idea that such a heroic badass would have become an insane old man is just such a horrid conclusion, they saved the entirity of the world, they deserve to be leading Arroyo into an age of prosperity as it looked such a beautiful city.

[@illbehonestidontreallyunde547]

I always figured No bark was a reference to The Barking Man, a character thats insane thats helped by the chosen one

[@brothers_of_nod]

@@illbehonestidontreallyunde547 Where was this? I don't remember encountering that character.

[@illbehonestidontreallyunde547]

@@brothers_of_nod it was cut content, a side quest to heal him. I figured it was a reference to that

[@drac0vofficial35]

Longest video yet and it just keeps getting better, nice work man

[@Alastair323]

My question is what happened to the chosen one after walking off into the sunset

[@Intr0vertical]

In my head canon I've always had him be the grandfather of my Courier. Which is why my courier has the vault 13 stuff and tribal stuff at the start of the game

[@Cam-nq8br]

Doesn’t he lead the tribe ? Or am I mistaken, it’s been a while since I played fallout 2 and the video isn’t over for me yet

[@ravenred6878]

@@Cam-nq8br They most likely did lead Arroyo but without proper confirmation then headcanoning their fate is free real estate.

[@robincharlton9088]

Your videos are amazing, perfect way for me to unwind is to listen and enjoy some fallout lore

[@MrMightyZ]

As a console peasant I’ve only played F3, NV and F4, so this was exactly what I’d always wanted. A tremendous effort that seemed perfectly weighted and paced to me. So good that now I find I’m greedy for abdorbing 1, 3, 4 and New Vegas through your style of presentation too. So in case you ever feel inclined that’d be just fine and super dandy by me and I wholeheartedly encourage you! I’ll get a gaming pc eventually but rather than remove my need to play Fallout 2 your video has only encouraged me to play it even more👍

[@SlattKingg]

No fallout lore video has had me this invested especially about the second game. Great content 👌

[@jackgillings7684]

Thank you for this bro I’m gonna put this on while I go to sleep nothing better that a long fallout lore vid

[@FIREFOX274]

This was such a great video, I broke it up into three nights. I don't normally eat while watching KZbin but your content fits the vibe. Thanks for the great story telling and sorry for the late comment.

[@ConcasicoWoodworks]

I love how the little team start assembling and having tons of adventures in the wasteland.

[@abyssalpen9663]

Newcomer to your subscribers, but lemme just say, I've watched this video three times now ALONE. Your content is fantastic, and has revitalized my love of Fallout. Looking forward to seeing more in the future. ❤

[@danielc3563]

Always a good day when synonymous uploads a new video.

[@WarDogMadness]

The temple of trials looks like a vault. then tribals turned it into a temple.

[@scornrose]

i’ve watched a few of your videos I think, but seeing a video this long has made me want to subscribe. I love these games very dearly and I am always looking for high quality content taking the writing of the original games and turning them into the story that deserves to be told. you are a fantastic story teller and I appreciate your effort to remain truthful to the lore. I will subscribe in the hopes that more of your videos are this long, if you are able to do that of course! thanks for a great watch.

[@Synonymous101]

Welcome aboard! Thank you, I will continue to do my best! 😁👍

[@Michael-nf5ji]

thank you for the video and all your hard work, your my favorite fallout cc, and I cant stress it enough

[@everbluetip142]

Glad to hear a video of yours while I'm at work man. Great job

[@69angelmouse]

Thank you very much for this interesting video. I am a big fan of New Vegas and this video along with the video on the vault dweller helped me understand the story of New Vegas better. Not only that, but these games and their story seem very interesting and I might check them out in the future because of your videos. So again, thank you for your hard work.

[@fungisrock8955]

You did such a good job explaining the game and story that now I don't even feel like I need to play it lol. Amazing video, but I regret watching it because I spoiled the game for myself, so I'll do my best to forget, then play the game, and then rewatch the video😂. Again, amazing video! Keep it up!!

It’s 2am and I was about to go to bed but I guess I’m watching this instead

The Chosen One is the most badass Fallout protagonist. Going against Horrigan by himself puts him in rare air alone.

This and the Vault Dweller lore were such incredible videos. I’d love to hear everything you know on the lone wanderer, courier and sole survivor in the distant future!!

[@ryushinto3207]

I finished watching this on break at work today, wanted to come back and thanks for the amazing experience. Your story telling abilities are top notch and this was audio book quality- I was so sad to have it end haha. Keep doing your content! Me and many others will keep enjoying it!

Since I’ve watched the series, and played hundreds of hours of fallout. I want to know more about the universe. Thanks for your in-depth analysis

[@Bigflex26]

K9 deserved better than being left with the NCR that’s just facts

[@generacionmarttin]

I think the Chossen One story is highly inspired by Mad Max. A mix of all 3 first movies. In the Mad Max lore, Max sometines is also reffered as the chossen one.
