This is a re-upload because KZbin age-restricted my last video. They sent me a message saying “KZbin is not a shock site, and it is not okay to post distressing or vulgar videos intended to be shocking, sensational or disrespectful.” Apparently, the courser fight in the video was too shocking and vulgar for them. I removed the courser fight from the video and reuploaded it here. This version has zero blood, minimal violence, and is 99% dialogue. Thanks, everyone, for watching the last version and leaving your comments. I am sorry if your comment is now gone because of this. If you remember what you wrote, please leave another comment on this version. Also, please like and share as you did for the last video so this one doesn't suffer from a lack of social signals. Thanks again for watching all!

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

Isn't this game violent? Why haven't the other vids get the same treatment?

[@korstmahler]

KZbin (and the world at large) needs to come to terms with the fact Video Games are not real. Despite all the idiotic claims that the players wouldn't be able to distinguish reality from a game, the same demographic of tone-deaf control addicts who don't play games appear to be incapable of that same distinction. We live in an era where Arma 3 footage fooled a good chunk of the world more than once.

[@pierQRzt180]

I thought that your videos would be 18+ (thus not for kids) ?

[@christianhohenstein1422]

At least here in Germany Fallout 4 is age restricted USK 18. So it maybe consistent to flag that video as age restricted, though I really hate how youtoube kills every video which may not get their kids approval. KZbin isn't the Disney Chanel.

[@HattaTHEZulZILLA86]

KZbin's getting STUPIDER by the day... They WASTED all these efforts on FLAGGING the WRONG kinds of content instead of flagging the ones that is TRULY harmful to their viewers and kids that watch them; MALICIOUS Scam and Impersonation KZbin Channels.

[@ChampionXD01]

Weird that KZbin found a fight in a video game distressing when theres hundreds of video game clips that are much more violent and don't have problems

[@wm2008]

They are not monetized.

[@bespokestylingu.k4199]

KZbin allow bbc to show soldiers being blown up by Ukrainian drones. KZbin are stupid

[@Nathan35077]

They are having problems now… they’re cracking down on violence. Because advertisers are cracking down on it. The more people you can appeal to, the more money you can make. Kinda like how Nintendo tries to appeal to the whole family, so do advertisers. If people are making adult content, advertisers putting ads in those videos won’t reach nearly as many people as something that’s for any age group. And if Fortnite and Minecraft aren’t proof that the real money comes from younger people, idk what is lol and parents pay for it so it needs to appeal to them too. They don’t want that much gore and violence for their kids. So basically advertisers are forcing everyone’s hand, because of greed. That’s the TLDR lol

[@BlueDually4x4]

@@Nathan35077 Which is weird since they don't have problems with it on major networks or streaming services.

[@Little-She-Devil]

They think fallout has to much blood and violence? They must have missed Ryse son of rome. Lots of blood and violence. I say it’s bullcrap what they think about violence in video games. While there are animal other video’s that are lot worse. There are literally video’s where you see Russian soldiers getting blown up in their tanks by Ukraine. They don’t remove those. 🤷‍♀️ but KZbin keeps hammering us with commercials nobody cares for. Or to pay for a KZbin account some people just don’t need or want.

[@Steel-101]

[@hellcat1401]

Gotta have that lore! Lore is all that matters. 😂😂

[@vegeta002]

I think it's more likely that Coursers are both created to be enhanced Super Soldiers _and_ "upgraded" from regular ones.

[@MintyBubble]

I had never noticed the patterns of which synths sound robotic and which ones don't! And then your process figuring out WHY they talked that way - Fantastic! Great video!!

[@renaigh]

Coursers seem to also be given privileges no other Gen 3 is permitted, either that or X6 is routinely given memories to make him think he has a life outside of a killing machine.

[@CyberController-]

"I've heard of Coursers going as far as Chicago to catch a target, their determination is not to be underestimated"

[@Cgambler]

I’m just now realizing that the Institute is pretty much %100 based on Blade Runner…

[@TheGeekBox]

I cant help think Harkness might be the first Courser made by the fact that Zimmer went out personally for him and called him the most advanced Android he's made

[@radaryampai8880]

If you look at 8:37 it says that the other synths brought with Zimmer are older models meaning they’re coursers but older, meaning Harkness is a newer one

[@TheGeekBox]

@@radaryampai8880 could be possible. I based mine on the Institute has seekers etc before then it says they built better ones with more human traits that trained and proved themselves to be right to be a courser. I could be wrong of course, I think the guards Zimmer had were the old seeker types and Harkness was the first of the improvements to make the first courser is where I get my theory from....bloody Fallout 😅😅

[@FortunateJuice]

KZbin is constantly one-upping itself with its absurdity.

[@DAVID4GAMER]

Whats creepy is their personalities are strickingly simmilar to the enclave members.

[@lonestar_iconoclast]

Ah, yes, the service industry speak. While speaking with customers, they are cheerful and, if possible, bright. When customers are few or are no longer around, the mask slips and you get to hear quite a lot about the Karens and Kens that frequent service industry facilities and how are all them are complete assholes. I've worked in the service industry for far too long, and I know precisely what these synths are going through.

[@PlebNC]

I never had anyone as bad as a Karen in 10 years working in a supermarket but I live in the UK so maybe I just got lucky or it's a cultural thing. Once got told I ruined a couple's evening because a cheap own brand wine in a deal they wanted wasn't in stock despite ordering stock not being my fault and the deal was popular. Apparently their idea of "an evening" was our bistro meal deal where you get a cheap own brand wine, a small premade desert and a microwave ready meal. I offered to show them similarly priced alternative wines that frankly, were probably tastier and meant they'd still spend a similar amount of money. They refused and handed their basket to me. I did not lose sleep over them. Also had an old lady call a cereal box damaged because the flaps were loose (this is common as the flaps have weak glue) but the bag holding the cereal was perfectly fine and thus perfectly safe to eat but she made it sound like a health and safety violation.

[@The_Roro]

I particularly appreciate the analysis on speech patterns and tone of voice. Interesting attention to detail and how something like this adds rich detail to storytelling. 👍

[@lemondorkhead]

"Self-determination is not a malfunction"- Harkness

[@Cursedmanplays4631]

The way he says it too... Harkness voice actor is just amazing!! Its too funny that he is also the voice for Adoring Fan 😂😂

[@PlebNC]

KZbin: Happy to promote videos of Elsa giving pregnant Spiderman injections and dental surgery. Also KZbin: This footage from an ESRB approved video game being listed as Mature is too shocking for mature audiences. The footage: Heavily dated red splatter textures and crude dismemberment. Meanwhile 5 Night At Freddy's, which is KZbin approved: Casually stuffing children into robot suits to unambiguously kill them to shock its audience.

[@poophead2251]

Hey Ox love the video. I hate having to appease the KZbin gods. Best of luck. We'll be here to support you

[@spike3346]

Did you get a strike on a fallout 1 upload? Of all the fallout content ever diologued, I recall that they demonitized you from a much older fallout video game.

[@charleshermey3498]

I know the wolf among us looks goofy, but it's a pretty good detective noire story. By the end I was fully invested in the characters that I completely didn't care about at the beginning. The game could use your oxhorn spin on it. Eventually number 2 is coming out. It could make for a lot of views. It is a telltale game which I personally prefer to watch as opposed to playing then myself. Keep up the Good Fight Ox. Greetings from North Texas.

[@DueRag]

once again youtube continues to be its own enemy

[@Citizen_Nappa23]

Oxhorn did you know if you kill Dr. Zimmer via consul commands Dr Zimmer will have a synth component in his inventory. It could just be a mistake by the developers but it also has interesting implications if this Dr. Zimmer is truly a synth. Just imagine a 70 yr old man traveling from Boston to DC that's alot of perils for just a regular elderly man with one armed guard(that's assuming he's an undercover courser) And this isn't just a walk down the road it's hundreds of miles of radioactive wasteland. It could be a synth double created by Dr.Zimmer to make it think it's him or possibly the head of the SRB is an actual synth. In any event it's an interesting theory.

[@LilhotwheelsIG]

I dont know if it’s supposed to be impossible or smth but I accidentally killed zimmer and found that synth component but honestly the harkness mission was amazing thinking on the writers

[@jettbates6863]

Hello oxhorn I’m a huge fan I love all your videos and I wanted to let you know that I am currently in the baby steps of developing a new fallout 4 mod I’m calling fallout twilight I will try to update you on my progress, and I would be honored that when the mod is completed if you would consider trying it, completely up to you but just wanted to let you know

[@shadowrose1859]

As far as the voice thing goes I kinda figured it was something to do with the indoctrination/training they go through. From what we know of it it sounds harsh and like it would suck out any emotion they might have. Also might be why they rarely escape

[@keithm5378]

The way the Coursers are talked about and feared by those who know of their existence (Virgil, The Railroad, and even Kellogg expressed both fear and admiration of the capabilities of the Coursers in his memories). The fact they were designed for one purpose, being hunters and assassins for the institute and weren't meant to blend in with the ordinary civilians. Their extremely limited ability to feel fear, or remorse or pain, and combat skills strong enough to eliminate an entire Gunner squad single handedly in pursuit of a rogue synth, also reminds me of the T-800 Terminator, especially in T1. A single-minded, objective focused cyborg operative that exceeds the abilities of almost any real human and has absolutely ZERO issue with killing anything that gets in their way. It's a shame they were so overhyped and we could take them out early on in the game fairly easily. Bethesda could have really done something with the Courser idea and made them truly terrifying in the same vein as Assaultrons, Sentry Bots, and Deathclaws, but I'm sure there's a mod out there that makes them far scarier.

[@jonwashburn7999]

How the heck was this age restricted? KZbin is bizarre.

[@leftwingdragon6235]

KZbin is being alot more strict recently anything with violence or even a hint of it gets age restricted. It's possibly skeleton, organs and the presence of a gun in the video.

[@Paulostore]

Man after many years I never thought of how robotic Courses talk!!! 😮

[@fxliquorfeatoldsheikh1142]

Coursers are easy enemies. Coursers can be 10x more terrifying if Bethesda didn't cut their Bioweapon from the game. Bethesda, WHERE IS MY BIORIFLE???

[@adambarnes2738]

I wonder what would have happened if Nate told the courser he kills for the chip that he wants Shaun back

[@Spartan11117777]

The Level 300+ Super Mutant Masters + Overlords, the Raider Overboss, the Coursers, the High Level Deathclaws, the BOS Knights and the Mirelurk Queens and the Raiders + Gunners with the Fatman Launchers are the reason why I ALWAYS stay inside of the Nuka Cola Quantum X-01 Power Armor.😂

[@hansmost]

What if the Coursers are just biding their time and not only deceive the people of the commonwealth, but also the Insitute by pretending to be machines and make the people in the Institue unaware of their intentions

[@ajeezy8775]

Interesting point. They’re too intelligent and observant to not notice discrepancies from within the Institute. They cannot say anything due to the consequences of ‘re-programing’ synths that question or rebel. But if they are already given the power to shut down other synths using their recall codes, it wouldn't be a stretch for them to eventually take over after taking down their Institute ‘masters’ and possibly other humans of the commonwealth. This is why I usually choose the BOS faction (and I freaking love their aesthetic and airship). Synths (and the concept of AI in general) going rogue is frightening, but could you imagine the damage to the human species with something like Coursers running amok? They are made to be ‘better, faster, stronger,’ than humans. Technically, the Institute in that scenario would have created not artificial servants to humans, but the next apex human sub-species in our evolution.

[@BryantVonMiller]

So video games is too violent, yet animal cruelty is still widely available. And if you watch even 10 videos of basic animal videos like cats playing or dogs on a brand new account, the algorithm shows plenty of animal cruelty. "How to skin and debone a cat." Being pretty popular with many distressing comments. And so much more horrible crap. Like how to say slurs in other languages and how to counter censorship on YT. KZbin is so stupid in its policy enforcements and regulations. And their inability to even protect its own website for protecting its content creators and the content on the website. Really grinds my gears

[@MidnightWildspirit]

what a barcode tattoo for the coursers can't be used because it is copyrighted? 😎

[@bradygray1383]

I'm so sorry youtube screwed you over like this. There are worst problems that they need to be handling than a fight scene in a video game. Hope this video gets great views :)

[@anon-fz2bo]

dayum i managed to decode their binary imprint on the back of their necks & it did in fact spell out "synth". the algorithm is simple assuming u know how to convert binary numbers into base 10. all u have to do it convert each row on the back of their necks into their corresponding decimal number, then take each decimal number and convert them into a character (can easily be done with most if not all programming languages as its just casting an int into a char) then add each char together into a string and u have the word "synth" 🤯

[@NickJoyhill]

That's so interesting! I always thought coursers spoke like that because the Institute make their personalities dull in order for them not to rebel and do their duties right. But that wouldn't explain Chase or Harkness' personalities or even X6-88's when he's upset with you or idolizes you. Now I wish we could ask X6 if we have a high affinity if he's acting and when we pass a speech check he'll become all giggly and a fan boy because he's idolizing us lol.

[@pengdaw2nd]

I dont play Fallout 4 thanks to some hardware limitations, so I get a lot of my lore fixes from people like you, so I'm bound to miss a few details of the game here and there. Of all the companions, X6 is by far the one I know the least of, I dont know if he has a personal quest, or what kind of companion perk he gives you at max affinity, if he even HAS one. Like, I know Strong more than this guy. So hearing X6 snap in his crisis scene was kind of a wake up call to me, considering that I'm so used to his monotone robotic voice in any companion compilation I've ever watched. Hearing X6 be this emotionally charged over the Sole Survivor being a bad figurehead for the Institute makes me wonder how all other companions react in their Crisis scenes. So thanks Ox, keep up the good work, you're my only gateway to all things Fallout, haha.

I kind of used to hate this guy, but I was actually really impressed with his analysis here. I’m willing to give him the of the doubt that he’s actually developed passed his obnoxious toxic days.

What I like about coursers are the fact that they're basically proud, loyal and powerful soldiers that can be replaced and multiplied. I also love the way they talk. Monotonous, sarcastic and unfeeling. Cause when did synth hunters, who are aware of their existance and are proud of it, needed to act buman to begin with?

[@SalusFuturistics]

A unique Attribute of the Coursers is how they are exceptionally bad looking. What Monster eats a Burger without Pickles. Put a brand new Shirt in the SHop " KZbin says I produce distressing and vulgar Videos that intend to be shocking, sensational, and disrespectful". I'd buy that

[@Gwyn1stborn]

Another example of manner of speech within a profession would be Nat, Piper's younger sister, hitting us with that cliche 20s newsboy tone

[@Nathan35077]

I think their monotone voices has a lot to do with what they’re designed for. They’re k*lling machines. Kinda like in tv shows where the government conspires and has a group of spies that do black ops stuff. They go through insane training, including essentially removing their human feelings. Removing compassion, and stuff like that. Making them emotionless operatives. Just like they’d be taught how to pass a polygraph, they have their human emotions stripped from them through “training”. Because the best soldiers follow orders, not feelings. Probably explaining this horribly, I have ADHD, but hopefully I got the idea across lol

[@ryanmcwilliams8784]

1:11 oh my god how could you use the word kill, it should be unalived

[@Little-She-Devil]

I think fallout 3 harkness and the fallout 4 soul survivor are the same prototype synth. But harkness went rogue and so they created the soul survivor prototype. A gen4 prototype more advanced than harkness. But he/she doesn’t know he/she is a synth gen 4. And the part where no written proof is found is because father deleted any (written) proof.

[@RosemaryCemetery]

The sole survivor isn't a synth, you can die from radiation and you need to eat in survival mode ^^

[@baconlovingvampire4523]

It's been proven time and time again that the sole survivor ISN'T A SYNTH. You need to eat and sleep in survival. You can die to radiation, which all synths are immune to. And there is no way anyone in the Institute would let a synth become director of it.

[@znscrl]

[@lonewulfmo9128]

I love the lore in bethesda games

[@tsarfox3462]

Love the concept but, hate the execution. They should basically be like The Gun Fu Clerics in Equilibrium. Instead they're just dudes in below average armor with a terrible weapon and some gimics like stealth boys. I've never had any difficulty with this fight. I actually have to mod them to make them more formattable so they sometimes have power armor and good guns.

[@mr.j36b82]

The pride is being a synthetic from the coursers makes me wonder what a society born from surviving coursers would be like. Instead of trying to integrate into human society they form a culture built around superiority in combat and the embracing of their synthetic origin as a blessing rather than a curse.

[@dko-JackSkalington]

Well the Railroad helped heaps of Synths escape the commonwealth. So, we're defs going to see some appear in future games. Expecially since they're effectively human in everyway, except functionally immortal.

[@cynicalnitro8416]

So I'm not halfway into the video, but as far as the way coursers talk, X6-88 will talk in a more animated way if you REALLY piss him off or get on his good side. He even stutters.

[@SabreArchon]

Coursers remind me of the Royal/Shadow Guard in Star Wars. Elite Super Soldiers most of which were mildly force sensitive who spoke in their own language and had their own culture by choice. The Coursers seem to behave in a specific way by choice. Speak in a specific way by choice. All to show their loyalty to the Institute, but I don’t think it’s just Loyalty that makes them behave this way. I think it’s love for their creators. Possibly a religious reverence kept private among the Coursers. They behave more like people than they actually are meant to. Kind of in a neurodivergent way but not at the same time. Coursers have developed their own personalities and mannerisms and culture and to us and the institute it just seems like they are die hard loyal super soldiers when in reality they probably feel like they are the chosen people of their creators.

You can argue that even the coursers have consciousness because they have emotion that would not benefit them if programmed that way. Like with X6 got upset with you.

[@slicer2938]

find it interesting there isnt many female coursers. i wonder if its like in the real world where most soldiors are men, mostly due to the fact that they select synths in the population based on specific traits that make them ideal, its also why a female one does exist. they arent just not selecting female synths its that they are more likely to select men.

[@trusttheprocess5618]
