The Railroad HQ - The Story of Fallout 4 Part 32

[@oxhorn]

I made a mistake at 43:39--I thought Deacon said Wyatt, but he said Watts. He claims to have founded the Railroad with Jon D. and Victoria Watts. Watts left the commonwealth in 2277 to follow Armitage and Zimmer to the Capital Wasteland.

[@DuckDecoy13]

I'm assuming why this took you so long to come out is because you were waiting for the next patch or you had many projects and other things to deal with that this was put on the back burner more or less

[@adammarcinkowski-ko3el]

OMG Railroad ... I have allways avoided that story line as is just ... DUMB , you have bunch of people in post apocalyptic people who struggle to survive , and they have idea ... let save synths , a humanoid robots that EAT FOOD , drink purified water = resources that humans struggle to get -_- , and best is way they free synths , well they ERASE them and instal new personality = basically kill off old software ... and how they "got" synths that "run" from institute ... from a patriot a guy that was borred and he freed synths , because he wanted to see what will happen :/ ... I fell nothig for that fraction , every new gameplay I rush for Railroad HQ to get quest that give Deliverer , then I just abandon that story line ... once I have done that story line , and I disliked that group even more , when you should teleport to Institute , Destemona say several times Lie , lie , lie ... OMG pure communism , I had no regrets when I whipe them out ... and to be honnest I would chose instead ... Institute , why? , immagine now wake up 210 years in future , everything is destroyed and glowing with radiation /also want to kill you and eat your ... meanwile Institute offer 21 century comfort , and for what I would sacrifice BOS & minutemen , for ... toilet paper Institute have it fresh pure white and a loot , I would like to avoid whipe my ass with radiated newspapers , so yeah I dont care what Instute did as long I have TP & synths servant ... with Kristana Looken Terminator's 3 pump up boobs and looks ...

[@2centschange]

You also missed something again, that I thought you might mention here when discussing deacon but you didn't. I'm not going to spell it out for you though (I did on another video). Go look at the start of the game, where Kellog takes Shaun. Listen closely to the lab tech working the computer. You'll need to do the third person view of the scene, as all you hear regular game wise is "lets go" but he has more lines before you dethaw.

[@laserhawk64]

"I release _Fallout_ videos each and every week..." Hmmm. Not sure that that one typo in the script is the _only_ thing you missed... glad to have you back on the good stuff, though! You literally _do not know_ how much I missed your _Fallout_ content. (Enough to bug the cr*p out of you, for sure! Erm, sorry about that...) Also -- while I'm here -- I'm _still_ looking for a downloadable copy of that Lonesome Roads music piece you did. Over 2hrs COMBINED across iTunes and Apple Music, couldn't get the track hardly even to _play_ -- please, I just want an MP3, an M4A, a WAV, a FLAC... I don't care what format (well, okay, not something old and weird and DOS, or otherwise obscure, please!) -- just a track I can play in a regular media player. PLEASE.

[@gillriet773]

She shouldve been 100%! Way more appealing than plain white tshirt Deacon 😅 shes so cool as a character, Id have romanced her lol

[@AlAl-b5j]

Because she thinks Gen 1 synths and Automatrons are indistinguishable from a human. Deacon thinks she's weird but likes her help.

[@ChocolateVanille]

@@AlAl-b5j She does not think that. She might think they're sentient but that's a very different statement from indistinguishable. And companions having unconventional opinions is part of what makes them interesting.

[@TyRae_Turner]

When I first talked to Tom I found it funny how paranoid about little robots he was. Listening now I realized how possible it actually is. Synths are indistinguishable from humans with any medical tests. If the institute can make blood, animals (Bird synth cameras), food, who's to say that they couldn't recreate blood cells that are robots. It probably isn't the case, but definitely isn't as crazy as it seems. Maybe Tom is just 1 step ahead.

[@Steel-101]

Dude, nice. The Railroad intro is fantastic. It really does have that secret agent feel to it. I’m really excited to see what you’ll do for the Minutemen and Brotherhood of Steel. Also Tinker Tom is one of my favorite characters in this game. He is so crazy and it’s hilarious.

[@jakespacepiratee3740]

Did you know that when you exterminate the Railroad for the Brotherhood, you can hack PAM for the BoS?

[@Steel-101]

@@jakespacepiratee3740 yeah I knew about that. On my very first Play through back in 2015 I stuck with the BOS because I wanted to know what happened to them after the capital wasteland. However they’re not my main choice because man I felt really guilty when I was forced to kill off the railroad. I love the characters in the railroad.

[@fsustu2393]

22:14 That terminal actually unlocks the other side of the door, even though the sewer side is unlocked. That way you can't literally backdoor the Railroad.

I'm actually kind of surprised that Oxhorn didn't catch this. 46:40 This in the system about 2 years after Oxhorn put so much detail into the mention about Deacon thinking that the solution laid in the past. Deacon has barely been here all year. Off chasing Ghosts. That to me... sounds like Deac was off trying to either dig up as much info as he could about the Survivor, or was trying to put together leads between Father, and the main char.

[@lonestar_iconoclast]

Tinker Tom is one of my favorite characters in the Railroad faction. He's more than a little crazy and kinda reminds me of a anti-vaxxer. Or a conspiracy theorist. Maybe he's right or maybe he's so out there that some of the things he conjectures are on point. But not everything. I haven't had Deacon as a companion yet, so… I have to wonder if PAM is on the verge of sentience, that's why she seems to interact with Glory so differently as compared to the rest of the Railroad. Not certain about the crush, though…

[@Nightwing9597]

Glory is the Prime Example why you shouldn'tjoin the Railroad. Synths are stronger and smarter than Humans, and worse, they develop an Ego about it. They're a Threat to Humanity.

[@owenness6146]

It's like Bethesda was obsessed with prophetic themes. Mama Murphy, P.A.M., & Father making predictions that guided the future of the Commonwealth, and each stating they were surprised at the impact the Wanderer. Each refers to the disruption of the Wanderer's presence. It's like they really wanted to drive home the idea that you're destined to become a legend even before even taking action.

[@patwiggins6969]

Kinda crazy. I just discovered railroad HQ yesterday! Ok so maybe for the fourth time but still...

[@ajeezy8775]

That’s a tough choice. The RR characters are pretty cool, but personally, I’d feel so guilty ending with them because in the end its harder to take out the brotherhood due to the kids, cat, and families aboard the airship. And the BOS is my first love in the series. Its like ending with the Institute or destroying the synth kid, I just couldn't do it. But as with the Institute radiant quests, I look forward to seeing Ox explore this faction.

[@jasontoddman7265]

I feel the same. Also unsure I care for slaughtering humans (especially in the BOS) who are simply following an ideology they believe in concerning how synths are a threat to all humans (wrongheaded or not) rather than from greed, ignorance, or personal malice like raiders or other civilians. Especially when the body count seems to greatly exceed the number of synth lives that seem to be getting saved.

[@christianjohnson5379]

That's why I tend to side with the Minutemen, it's the only faction you can side with that does not have to involve destroying either the railroad or brotherhood.

[@jasontoddman7265]

@@christianjohnson5379 That's a definite plus for me as well. Also though, it's the only faction where I feel like I am really making a difference. The BOS, the Institute, and the Railroad were getting by quite well before the player crawls out of the vault. The Minutemen otoh were virtually extinct until Nate/Nora, as they state in the game, built the Minutemen from the ground up. They're also the only faction that can peacefully co-exist with the BOS and let them help make the Commonwealth a safer place (and moreover without the player's help they can't/won't extort the various settlements for tribute or whatever, and so essentially provide their services for free) as if they were active allies (whether or not you're a high-ranking member of the BOS yourself); something the Railroad (let alone the Institute) does not do. Whereas the BOS wants you to wipe out the Railroad as well as the Institute. So imo by far the best possible outcome is with the Minutemen.

[@Singeferno]

Do you think there is a reason why the people in the Fallout universe lean so heavily into Greek mythology and culture? It's in every East Coast game. Caesar gives a reason for Roman in New Vegas.

[@jasontoddman7265]

Maybe such myths survived the nuclear war better than other folklore because they were so widespread in pop culture beforehand compared to more recent stories. That's my theory, anyway.

[@jasontoddman7265]

1:22:33 - You sound unimpressed with Tinker Tom's mutating water theory. However, could this not be a reference to what President Eden wanted the player character to do with the FEV virus in the Project Purity water supply? The water would be poisonous to mutants after all. And everyone else with mutated genes; which is to say virtually everyone. Maybe Tinker Tom knows something about that.

[@timomajere]

I can't deny that everytime I play Fallout 4 now, I essentially avoid Concord so I can mess around in Nuka-world without permanent consequences, speed to Diamond City to start with Deacons visibility and avoid Vadim's bar so I always have scaredy Miles on the radio. I just go 100% completionist with the other companions so theyre done but I am determined to always have Deacon because his comments always remind me it is just a game and sometimes I still get jumpscared so bad I 'release' a little and deacon always has me less tense.

[@donnycanup1327]

@oxhorn When you were going through the first dialogue tree with Desdemona (the one right after visiting the Institute the first time and not killing your son) and Nate/Nora talk about their son being the leader, is that the only time you can have that discussion with any NPC outside the Institute? I have always found it annoying you can't have that conversation with anyone in game outside the Institute.

[@featgorgon3985]

There’s a weird quirk with the RR if you finish the game through the minutemen after starting the questline with the RR, glory doesn’t die because the scripted death during the BoS assault on the HQ doesn’t happen because you don’t get to that point with the RR after being banished from the institute, however, for some reason the game still thinks glory is dead despite her not dying, but you can’t speak with her, she’ll never speak with you, and Dez and all the others will mention her as if she’d died

So did Deacon release the sole survivor from deep freeze? If so, why wasn't he there when the survivor woke up? Maybe Deacon wanted us to learn about what happened on our own so we would be more likely to trust, or at least believe, him. If so, that suggests Deacon has a great deal of insight into people, for a synth.

Funny that they're the opposite of the Institute in that, where they had good core concepts but BGS DROPPED the ball hard on execution which just ruins them.

[@vaultboya6253]

Something that is always weird about fallout 4 is just at how disconnected Nate/Nora are towards Shaun. I get that they wanted you to have a chance to be evil and screw them over. But this is the issue with making an RPG with a pre-fleshed out and established character. There is only like two speech options where Nate/Nora show any kind of emotion after seeing their son go from an infant to a fully grown old man. Hell, after you complete the game and father dies, you can make Nate/Nora just say you're glad Shaun is dead. Even after the opening when he/she was panicking about Shaun being taken. Totally off the point of the video lol but it's just so bizarre and immersion breaking.
