The Story of Fallout 76 in 10 Minutes

[@Loregasmo]

Vault 76 was never meant to house the “best and brightest”, it was a vault full of maniacs. It’s the only explanation for why there’s a naked man dancing on my house.

[@danielsmith762]

In my defense you had a punch bowl full of nuka shine and I lost track of what I was doing afterwards.

[@FredericoASousa]

I think its important to say the Raiders only blew that dam that flooded Charleston and killed so many because their leader David tough he lost his girlfriend Rose on the attack. Little did he know she was alive and kept prisoner , and he killed her in his rage.

[@IrresoluteCartographer]

That’s true. I say that in a few other lore videos, I was simply pressed for time, given the 10 minute limit I set for this video

[@arztbesucharzt8143]

Kratos would approve

[@TheAwesomeDarkNinja]

Thanks for covering this! Hard to find Fallout 76 lore content without it being a 40 minute walkthrough or just being Bethesda hate.

[@mediumChungus69]

He could at least make the title correct instead of pretending like this is the storyline of the game

[@hermos3602]

I suggest you search up the following KZbinrs who mention Fallout 76 without shitting on it: RadKing, Uranium Fever, and Synonyms. I'm sure there's more that cover part of a lot of Fallout 76, but I watch these guys a lot.

[@BeastFueled]

I love how you explain so much and don’t rely on playing holo tapes to tell the story. I especially appreciate the way you input your own opinion at the end like your Vault 94 video. You make great content and it’s a unique flavor of storytelling. Great job bro!

[@johnnthefalloutroleplaying8738]

I wonder what happened to places like Foundation after the events of 76. I imagine that Foundation survives and becomes the oldest city in Appalachia, serving as a bit of an origin point for many other settlements, just like how Diamond City created Goodneighbor and the Slog by exiling criminals and ghouls.

[@IrresoluteCartographer]

I hope that Foundation survives long term. Even if Appalachia doesn’t remain the ecological paradise it is compared with the usual wasteland environment, I hope that Foundation remains a strong community for a long time to come

[@johnnthefalloutroleplaying8738]

@@IrresoluteCartographer If Foundation does survive, it would be interesting. I imagine that, if it’s still around by whenever Fallout 5 takes place, it would be one of the oldest cities on the East Coast. Perhaps we would meet the descendants of a few of the characters we all meet in 76 by the time of Fo5 and learn some lore from there.

[@DonRade]

Really appreciate all the work you've put into this (as well as everything else on your channel). From script writing to getting all the footage of the different areas. Really helps with understanding the little things I missed from the story.

[@gizmoandbackgaming]

Seeing this even a year after it was made was very informative. Thank you for all the info.

[@austinbevis4266]

Is there any corner of the fallout universe that doesn’t have brotherhood factions and super mutants?

[@dantauche7917]

No!!

[@RaulFlores-ge7uh]

In New vegas there's not that many of either

[@patriktoth6258]

​@@RaulFlores-ge7uhBOS has probably 3 ending in new vegas. Supermutants are at Jacobstown/Black mountain/And in the quest "Come fly with me"

[@KB-kw6zy]

Well made video, as an old player returning to the game it’s nice to see a lore video like this. Reminds of the old lore videos back in 08-09.

[@Queue3612]

Crazy to think this was all in the immediate aftermath of the great war. All but the youngest were born pre war. Vault 76 opened 2102, only 25 years after the war. meanwhile over in vault 33 they are still shut in 220 years post war.

[@brianrmc1963]

That was so perfect. Thank you.

[@nickmalachai2227]

Just stumbled onto this while looking stuff up for a tabletop game I'm putting together. Very much appreciate all of this.

[@nisselarson3227]

Thanks! I was curious about this story, but have not dared play the game because i am old and it's online (i.e. stressful) but i can certainly enjoyed all this backstory.

[@Vicious.47]

It's almost a PvE game so you can literally play it like a single player game, you only encounter player passing by ( there is a option to always disable pvp ) and trade at their camps.

[@geekinfamous3860]

Im very new to 76, and i started during fash like a week ago, and than double xp hit, and ive done missions here and there but not enough to retain the story. This video has made me start a new lvl 20 character that i will be playing strictly solo on untill the point in story that i need others.

[@THoten]

Criminally undersubbed for such great videos! Love your stuff, man

[@Tundraviper41]

With the recent updates the foundation outpost I had a feeling that it was a nuclear detonation because when the rad scrubber went down, the radiation was brutal to anyone without protection.

[@MobiusTrigger7]

id love to play the main story of 76 but as soon as i leave the vault i get a billion quests

[@SpartanS1ayer195]

Like new vegas when you have the dlc lmao

[@Theobserver6897]

Who thought it was a good idea to have no one alive these factions could have been so cool

[@T0nik]

Loved the video dude, great work!!

[@ismcev6983]

Amazing video

This vid made me subscribe. Very well done!

I am very picky about watching new channels but wow I love this channel

[@caiden2359]

really enjoy your narration keep up the good work

[@vaultboy2094]

Thanks for making this video. Yet there's ppl that still cry " Fallout76 doesn't have a main story" bunch of haters.

[@ThreeDog69420]

W

[@soupenjoyer6173]

it has a story it’s simply told and executed in a manor far worse than any other game in the series

[@ConnorSpears]

Rightly so, the "story" brakes the brotherhood lore of fallout and is in short, a lazy attempt at fan service that's mainly told via terminals. Terminal tales and unmarked quests used to be a fun interesting way to add extra life to fallouts open worlds. Using that solely to tell your main story, with some holotapes to give the illusion of life was/is the most disappointing attempt at story in modern gaming. I haven't touched it since the DLC but I'm pretty sure they ended up adding NPC's two years after release and still messed it up, too little to late

[@IrresoluteCartographer]

I’m what way does it break the Brotherhood lore?

[@xxxTHEHALOMASTERxxx]

Prior to the addition of the brotherhood to fallout 76 there was established lore that the brotherhood did not exist yet at this point, so them showing up in 76 breaks that and Bethesda had to rewrite the Brotherhoods origins because of it

[@mangoboba1322]

Awesome video! Your channel is so underrated!

[@default2077]

Thx for keeping my fallout lore up to date

[@mikec.7945]

Great video! Eager to see what else you have!

[@blunt0matic]

Wow you have a lot of videos and each one is very well done

[@maccaronich]

As someone who just started the game, is this the story that I'll get? Or did they move the timeline forward with further updates?

[@IrresoluteCartographer]

There has been story added with multiple expansions, I’ll have to make a part 2 video. This video covers Appalachia up to 2102, it is currently 2105.

[@maccaronich]

@@IrresoluteCartographer thanks for responding! Great video by the way, very succinct

[@jameshernandez4480]

Would’ve loved to participate in operation touchdown, be a part of the Harper’s ferry attack, or be ordered by the enclave to turn on the fev vats

[@darkhorse3670]

Love your videos keep up the great work

[@DerexArchives]

it's such a shame how well the previous society functioned and they were all wiped out by the scorched

[@zariche-3429]

Awesome video! Despite everything with 76, the map and world is amazing and very well done, in my opinion. I think the 25 years after the bombs instead of the 200, make it more realistic and believable.

[@fartkerson]

While I enjoy Fallout 76 I disagree that it needs to be either realistic or believable. To me it was always a scifi fantasy RPG series complete with Knights and Scribes of a Brotherhood, similar to the knights of the round table. It was never supposed to be realistic, but rather a science fiction fantasy series, like the Sword of Shannarra, or the old Heavy Metal animations combined with Mad Max. Of course, Bethesda slowly transformed it into a realistic FPS. Still an enjoyable game series but not the Fallout I truly want deep down in my heart of hearts. I always imagined the Fallout world slowly evolving into something more akin to Shannarra, which was also a post-apocalyptic earth that morphed into a fantasy world, but rather than 200 years in the future it's 2,000 years after the bombs and people have mutated into new races.

[@jonahulichny9874]

While I do see your reasoning, I heavily disagree. While it does mean that there are reasons for why it’s not NCR levels of civilization, it also is weird that appalaica is an eco paradise so shortly after the war.

[@DueRag]

Good video my mans

[@Seven_Actual]

A must watch as always!

[@RottenRoss]

So I'm from Wv and I love Post-Apoc Punk and I now need to play this game.

[@Nowyoullneverknow]

I think it would be cool if all the old vault dwellers (the mail man can stay dead) meet up in some central haven... well at least the ones that where alive around the same time

[@TastyGamingQc]

I run a free clinics. I have beds, cheap meds, vaccines and hybrid drugs that I sell near the starting area. For any new player that would need it.

[@FightOstinFight]

This was great. Thank you

[@danielmoore9950]

Thank you for saying Appalachia correctly.

[@ConnorSpears]

Hate that the brotherhood are forced into this game, could have came up with a unique faction or double down on a separate enclave faction hiding there...instead I'm supposed to believe the brotherhood where in contact with their west coast origins and travel across a recently wartorn America to arrive on the west coast to isolate for years before a separate group heads east for Fallout 3/4 etc....why do this !! Who would have thought the "story" of 76 would end up being the worst thing about it

[@ConnorSpears]

P.s thanks for making this so I don't have to torture myself

[@wintertrooper7918]

This brotherhood was really just a small squad of former military that survived the war by hiding in a cave, and later, they managed to get into contact with Roger Maxon over the long range radio

[@rtclan3624]

Good video I really enjoyed it

[@thebluerose4780]

In order to complete the game you must become the Enclave. Makes you think

[@TheStrongVirus]

Now that it’s been out a while and they’ve added a bunch of stuff since release. I’ve been very interested in the lore. I noticed that when you play it’s not always told to you or explained properly, as it depends on the player but also players. So it’s a bit foggy at explaining things at points, but I think that makes it more interesting to ask other people what they think is happening. This was a good video, interesting run down on the majority of the main game.

[@milansovilj1247]

I thought it said "is about 10 minutes" and i was like that isnt wrong

[@overlordeddie0778]

Bro I finished the main storyline like 6 years ago and just completely powered through it, not caring for any of the intricate lore. Now I’m coming back to the game and have to say the lores great. Super said though wagst happens to the Appalachians though 😔. Wish we could see paladin Taggerdy or some of them still alive

[@WoodyShmudy]

02:00 - 02:05 I need to know where this cave is! I want to build my C.A.M.P there 🤩 Any help is much appreciated!!

[@IrresoluteCartographer]

Spruce Knob Lake

[@biostemm]

Wait... Did any nukes actually strike wv? If so, where is/are the crater(s)?

[@IrresoluteCartographer]

There are two craters near to Foundation in the Savage Divide. One of these craters is now home to Foundation Outpost.

[@sinfulxsociety]

We need a game going even further back in time

[@Mitsoxfan]

Heres the story in 1 minute. Was a buggy mess at launch when I started playing. It's a basically dead buggy mess still. Fallout TV show debuted. People flocked to all the Fallout games. In 2 months, it will be a dead buggy mess again. But I will still be playing it.

[@Simplystimulating]

Very interesting

[@argotheslicer1654]

I want a fallout game set in the Atlanta area just cause i live there but not irl 😨

[@FerociousMit]

I wanna fallout game where you're in China. Instead of power armor being the best in game, it would be the stealth suits and maybe some other suits that aren't just stealth.

[@IrresoluteCartographer]

That could be pretty cool. There could be little American towns surrounding old forward operating bases, or simply ghoul forces like the remnant Chinese in America. For a while, I’ve been wanting to see an Adventure game set in the Fallout Universe, centered on a unit of American soldiers abandoned in China after the bombs, trying to get home.

[@exploark8466]

Wasnt a fan of the game itself but the lore is amazing like always

Thank you for saying Appalachia right

[@thesweetone]

[@therealovidox]

HONEST REVIEW for a new player in 2024. In short the game is awesome in now in April- May 2024 BUT BUT... In 2 weeks I powered to level 100 doing mostly event, a few main and side missions as well. Needless to say i got a good overall picture and engement. I realised this game is like I jumped from a helicopter into the middle of the ocean without knowing how to swim. (Which i really don't know how to). I agree there is much to do, go, see, and explore ... the map is alive and interactive... BUT BUT there's a flip side to that Unless you buy fallout 1st to get an unlimited stash size AND CREATE your own custom world to make the game more simple/ fun/ less grinding... you'll be in for a very frustrating grinding experience. The problem is its too grinding to just enjoy half an hour or four hour without worrying about repairing stuff or drinking stuff or eating stuff and counting your bullets. It's very hard to solo the game unless you spend a lot of time to level up your XP to a god tier (bloodied) build and PLAY and PLAN towards the end game meta. You need to know what you're doing with your perks cards, perk points, legendery cards, mutations, food/aid items... know about armour, weapons and craft and grind a lot for stuff like flux, treasury notes, bullion... getting caps for plans, finding plans, getting resources to fix everything you use to play. You need other people for events to really get end game loot/ materials... you need to launch nukes in certain areas and that requires some doing... but even if it's easy for the experienced and long green player... when you get there you'll still need a few people to take down the scortched queen beast for example. Everything breaks, everything needs fixing, you gotta find plans for everything, crafting legendery takes a lot of farming of PUBLIC events and the craft effects are RANDOM , you don't get to keep or attach the crafted module... you have to re roll it 10000 times for the 3 star legendery effect you want. Trust me there's not enough time in your life to roll ALL of the 3 star legendery effect you want. Fallout 1st is the only solution to either play in A CUSTOM WORLD to turn off the grinding and put a lot of stuff to easy, free, god mode, more damage etc. That way you can focus on the story. Not everyone wants to pay $20 a month subscription to have a couple of hours of fun on the weekend and very few want to grind for materials to fix their weapon and gear breaking or worry about food and water. It takes itself too seriously in a short attention span world with infinite other - micro transaction or online subscription service - games trying to grab your attention and wallet. If you don't mind being unemployed to put in full time hours to not just play but find everything and fix everything... then you've got a game you can play easily for 5-10 years. This is probably why the game is still kicking... thy end game is a constant grind YOLO RNG to get the loot, gear or legendary effects you want. PLEASE BETHESDA... package it as a SINGLE PLAYER - let's us customise the world without the grinding, easier to play it solo i.e. solo events. You can release the MAIN story and current or future additions as DLC.

Amazin video

[@Oscar.G-1503]

( spoiler) According to the show war didnt cause the bombs vault tech did i dont like that persective as it kills the whole war necer changes thing but at least it tries to explain who dropped the bombs

[@IrresoluteCartographer]

While Vault-Tec may have planned on starting the war, it doesn’t necessarily mean they did it in the end. I have trouble believing that Janey Howard would have been with her father that day if Vault-Tec was planning on starting the war just then

[@wintertrooper7918]

I 100% believe that vault-tec launched a few nukes at select targets that would cause people to go to tge vaults but otherwise leave most of the world fine, but that led to the Great War as the governments panicked and attacked

[@Ziggy42069]

I just sped through the story to launch a nuke with my friends. Didn't pay attention to the missions

[@Not-Great-at-Gaming]

I wish Fallout 76 was a single player expansion for Fallout 4. I enjoyed the world and the story, but the forced multiplayer, always online, and restrictive loot system ruined it for me.

[@IrresoluteCartographer]

Personally, I play in my private world almost entirely in the pursuit of lore, so the multiplayer and mmo based systems don't generally affect me, but I know what you mean.

[@godallmighty358]

​@@IrresoluteCartographer you gotta pay for a private world which sucks

[@NotSoRealAnyway]

That’s far. This is the most valid reason to not like the game. Most people are just like “eh, it’s just lame and stupid. Plus the load times suck and there are too many glitches” I’m just like. It wasn’t even that bad when it came out. It was just a different fallout experience than fallout 4. I love this games lore too. It’s like some of the best. All the little things. The mothman cult is a really interesting story line. And if yiur part of fallout 1st can’t you play the game in single player? It has private servers options I thought.

Story of this game is really bad ( but really, really bad). I has no deep theme, it is composition of loose ideas that contradict each other and it is infantile just like all npc's in the game (especially overseer - she is so uninspiring character). The main threat are humans that suffer really aggresive acne. Bethesda is unable to create any kind interesting story. Is it really so hard to create interesting story?

[@wintertrooper7918]

The story is actually incredibly interesting and there are way deeper themes than fallout 3 or 4
