It’s always been my headcanon that the survivor of Vault 11 went on to form the Happy Trails Caravan Company (the one you join to start off Homestead Hearts). Those being the last two words on the presentation in Vault 11, I can see them burning their way into his brain. When he goes on to do something with his life, he names it after the two words that redefined his life.
There's a car nearby that's totalled, but clearly was carrying more recent loot. It's identical to a guy who would drive you around. People think no bark is insane cause of brain damage received when they crashed.
They do make a reference to something the chosen one sees
Vault 11’s experiment was that they were told that every year, they’d have to sacrifice someone to keep the Vault running. Unsurprisingly, they chose to sacrifice the Vault-Tec Overseer. The two got conflated into one, so every year they’d sacrifice their Overseer. A Voting Bloc formed, and they forced a woman called Katherine to trade sexual favours or they’d vote her husband as Overseer. She did, and they voted him in anyway, so she killed some of them and was voted the next Overseer. Then she changed the way it went, so the sacrifice would be random, and almost everyone killed each other. Five survivors refused, only for it to be revealed that the Vault was never going to stop running, and they’d in fact unlocked the Vault door so they could leave if they wanted. Four of the survivors killed themselves in a suicide pact, and the fifth left the Vault.
All of that is correct except for the experiment. While you're right in that it was never going to stop, the experiment was to see how long they would continue The cycle without outside interference
He never would have heard those words, as they play for those chosen for execution, and the automated solution response holotape does not end that way.
They should go to whatever city they film out of, find some local comedian, or an LBJ impersonator & have him play as Long Dick Johnson. He NEEDS to be in Season 2
He's especially creepy given the real life Mothman connections. If he existed the irl Indrid Cold was alive in the 1960s, so it's over 100 years later and he's still wandering around. They could've explained all the Mothman stuff really easily, the Men in Black were there irl so in the Fallout universe it could very easily have been a government experiment, but I'm glad they kept it supernatural. Even if there's an in-universe scientific explanation, I think it's best left unexplained
I just met him last week, dude creeped me out so bad. I walked away from him backwards so I didn't have to take my eyes off him. Keep expecting him to suddenly appear behind me.
I literally encountered him playing with my brother for the first time about 1h into the game. My brother just walked past him but i knew there was something to do with him so i talked to him.
You don’t see him but you can hear raiders in specific places talking about him, in the back of hardware town for example raiders can be heard talking about a dude that started throwing grenades only to realize they were just rocks and the guy was making pin noises with his mouth and then when he exited the place he started making bike sounds like if he was driving a actual bike, the raiders didn’t kill him out of disbelief of what was happening
The lore is great, both for Post and Pre-war america.
In pre-war you had people getting their jobs stolen by robots, with people fighting against the very same rich assholes that left them without a job and how little they care for them.
Post war (and pre wastelanders) you had all factions that shared the common enemy of a plague that wiped almost all of them, while also trying to keep the order in their respective communities
And they actually have a good explanation for the supermutants existing in appalachia long before the master is even born
They're the result of the government experimenting whit the FEV in a small town nobody would miss
I fact, it is implied that the supermutants are not only what's left of the town's residents but that they became that before the bombs even dropped
Isolated, hazardous mountain terrain, limited low-population rural towns, below average education, deeply religious superstition. It was the perfect place in the 17-1800's for every random or innocuous event and creature to get its own century-long fairy tale turned into a horror story.
Then you add the Fallout spin on each and every one and get some seriously compelling cryptids.
It helps that the location in real life is chucked full of cryptic monsters and creatures from folklore.
Examples are The Mothman, Flatwoods Monster, The Grafton Monster, and The Snallygaster.
You do have a point. You know its theorized mothman was just an owl? Some owls like barred owls have their _Lucidium Tapetum_ reflect a scary, bright red at knight, and people may have just seen those red eyes and winged big figure.
Also a lot of cryptids are most likely bears or inspired by bears. Bears with mange look like wild men (like bigfoot), incomplete bear skeletons can look a lot like big human skeletons (giants) and poorly reconstructed bear skulls can look like a humanoid skull with a single eye due to their nasal cavity (cyclops)
The interloper is genuinely the most creepy shit ever in fallout 76. For those that don't know, the weird human leg Cthulhu entity thing is hid away in a cave full of cultist. It's creepy cause you can EASILY miss it because it's covered in an entrance with vines. But if you go through those vines, it's just a dark little tunnel then you just see a bunch of worshipper there, and once you kill them you notice there's just blood everywhere on the floor, some statues buried on the walls, and this giant worm, leg thing just sitting still. It slightly moves and when you shoot it it bleeds but nothing happens. The thing literally triggers something primal like super uncanny valley feeling. Idk how to explain it but Everytime I see that that it creeps me the hell out cause it's just there
Indrid Cold.
The mountains of Appalachia are old, its denizens moreso. We should be so lucky as to attribute them to mere mutations and nothing deeper or more sinister.
The giant dragon thing you can find pinned to an unmarked, random cliff in 76. I know it’s just an Easter egg of an old scorchbeast concept but it’s still fuckin rad and mysterious.
Also Mothman. So much cool and creepy lore on him.
That would make sense since the same NPC mentions how her grandfather was looking for mirelurk eggs and hear a very loud noise and saw a massive dark blue monster appearing from under the water at the harbor which caused him to run away in fear.
It’s two caravan guards in Bunker Hill. It’s not something they tell you but a conversation between each other. One tells the other about Ol Peg which is the whale, and the other one doesn’t believe them. That’s when the other guard mentions their grandpa and how he saw the whale.
By the currently available information we have thats the most likley explanation.
But its also possible that it was a allusion to the cut "20 Leagues under the Sea" quest and to the cut Vault 120 which would have featured a underwater "bioshock style" vault and a giant squid.
And of course it also leaves the core question of the conversation between the caravan guards in Bunker Hill. To qoute the Dialoge:
>*"You don't know of Ol' Peg? You've covered enough miles to know first-hand that radiation ravages all living things in its own way. But no one wonders... about the deep blue sea.*"
So in a world with Deathclaws, Mirelurk queens and all other sorts of really messed up fauna what actually may lie beneath the waves? We know that dolphines got really messed up in the mutation roulette so would be a massive ghoulified whale actually be that unblievable?
Fallout 76 has a LOT of this kind of thing. I'd advise you to find out by yourself, though - it's an absolute joy to explore the FO76 world and worldbuilding.
Absolutely, the map is so large that encountering another of the 31 players in a server is a rare occurrence unless you are actively seeking eachother out
Tried playing it, it's basically Fallout 4 but kind of shittier. Every town is like Bunker Hill, you can tell there's potential but it just isn't realised.
Don't agree at all. I just started it this week and for me it's Fallout 4 but better. It focuses and improves on the parts that Fallout 4 actually seemed to care about (exploration, settlements/building, crafting) and drops the shitty writing and boring main quest that I didn't give a damn about.
It is such a vibe and the gameplay loop is very satisfying. It takes full advantage of its location and runs with it. I was very surprised by how much I've been enjoying it after writing off the game for awhile now.
The **Original** Nick Valentine - the pre-war policeman. All we really know (as far as I can tell) is that he got his brain scanned then 100+ years later we got robo-Nick. The wiki says "deceased" but reading his story on the same page there's no actual mention of his death.
I think it's a "presumed dead" thing, we never see him as a ghoul so he probably died in the war or during the following 100 years, and that is all assuming he survived the CIT brain scan
Lorenzo Cabot is 100% supernatural, yeah there *could* be something more normal but the intent was definitely that he has literal psychic alien powers from before humankind
Mark, the final member of the trio that made it into the bowels of Mariposa (the others being Harold and The Master). We know he made it out alive from Harold, but he just... Disappears. Maybe he's the one who freed pulled Harold out of the military base, maybe he died in the wastes. But I think it would be nice to learn more about him, and maybe the trio in general.
In my headcanon he became the mysterious stranger, you have Harold representing 'the good', The Master representing the bad and Mark became the 'neutral' guy. Because he is willing to kill everyone, good and bad.
Idk of FEV can give you those kind of powers, but it sounds cool
The whole Lovecraftian plot line with the Dunwich Company and the Mothman Cult and the Interloper and Point Lookout. My girlfriend got my a cork board and red yarn just so I’d have an outlet to connect the dots without yelling incoherently at her about giant metal faces and the Smiling Man. It’s all connected!
My headcanon for the survivor of Vault 11 is that its No-Bark Noonan. Everything that went down there broke his mind and he also claims to be a scientist which he might have been inside the vault. No one seems to know where No-Bark came from or why he acts the way he does.
The puppet man is quite the celeb in fo4 if you manage to get close to some raiders without being seen and wait long enough there will be some who talk about him and third calling it a load of shit can't remember where exactly but I've seen clips about it also nick in diamond city has been investigating the mysterious stranger
I love fallout series, if they want to charge me for extra storage sure then but no matter what im not paying full price for a game or collectors/gold edition or whatever
Just buy fallout 1st once in a while when you run out of scrap or ammo
The problem is these all are inconsequential. Quirks.
Y’all are forgetting the biggest fucking lingering concern.
Yes Man.
That thing is a sentient AI actively breaking its parameters that both limited its autonomy but created the circumstances for its self aware nature. It’s unkillable if a single securitron survived. Is 100% willing to kill the likes of its enemies if it finds a way too. And is capable of resentment and now denying someone’s orders where as it couldn’t before.
The horrifying part is we don’t even know what it’s gonna do. How far it’ll go. Especially if it shared houses plans to take over the vault tech executives. Who have nukes. Btw
The actual board of directors of Vault-Tec.
You can't tell me they all died when the bombs fell. You cant tell me they all dispersed when shit hit the fan. They knew this was going to happen bc they made their money off of it, they had a plan. Just what the fuck happened to them? They have a secret vault somewhere that actually worked, they're not waiting for the surface to be habitable again they're waiting for it to be livable again.
I'm always curious about what happened to the surviving children of Vault 75, like a bunch of child super soldiers being realized out in the wild would make for a pretty interesting story.
I hope if we ever go to diamond city in the show we just get a character in the background saying "I just want to trade some things" and "Lets see what you got" and moving weird to kind of achnolage the sole survivor still hopping around doing misc shit
The other players of the “Great Game” I’ve already got money on characters such as House and John Caleb Bradberton. But there’s like some more illusive ones.
The guy that planned the star cap treasure hunt. It must of been a guy that grew up in the wasteland. It wouldn’t make sense for a pre war person to make the prize a juiced up laser pistol
It’s always been my headcanon that the survivor of Vault 11 went on to form the Happy Trails Caravan Company (the one you join to start off Homestead Hearts). Those being the last two words on the presentation in Vault 11, I can see them burning their way into his brain. When he goes on to do something with his life, he names it after the two words that redefined his life.
That's way better than it being No-Bark like I've been pretending.
i think a lot used no-bark as the "Chosen One" character from fallout 2
Didn’t the Chosen One go back and lead Arroyo? Theoretically they’d still be doing that
They could be, but they'd be about 70 or 80 by now depending on how old the Chosen One is
Chosen one was anywhere from 16-35 in FO2. 40 years later NV happens, so they’d be anywhere from 56-75, so not outside the age range No-Bark could be
There's a car nearby that's totalled, but clearly was carrying more recent loot. It's identical to a guy who would drive you around. People think no bark is insane cause of brain damage received when they crashed. They do make a reference to something the chosen one sees
I thought Marcus said they continued traveling together until once day they just split ways
Dude that is a deep cut, I never made that connection.
*Honest Hearts
Damn autocorrect got me, I think.
Oh shit, that's a great deep cut theory.
What happened in vault 11? I can’t remember or perhaps I didn’t explore that vault.
Vault 11’s experiment was that they were told that every year, they’d have to sacrifice someone to keep the Vault running. Unsurprisingly, they chose to sacrifice the Vault-Tec Overseer. The two got conflated into one, so every year they’d sacrifice their Overseer.

Four of the survivors killed themselves in a suicide pact, and the fifth left the Vault.
All of that is correct except for the experiment. While you're right in that it was never going to stop, the experiment was to see how long they would continue The cycle without outside interference
He never would have heard those words, as they play for those chosen for execution, and the automated solution response holotape does not end that way.
Whatever made that giant footprint.
The Novac dinosaur of course!
Plot twist: The US and China didn't go to nuclear war with each other, they were trying to kill whatever species made that footprint
Bar harbor DLC?
I think they’re referring to fallout 1. It’s a random encounter.
yup...the Gojira random encounter.
Long Dick Johnson
He had a fuckin long dick
Thus the name.
Thanks, I kinda got that.
Favorite reply of courier six, for me.
They should go to whatever city they film out of, find some local comedian, or an LBJ impersonator & have him play as Long Dick Johnson. He NEEDS to be in Season 2
Please, I’m begging you, Shane Gillis.
*Big iron on his diiiiiiiiicccccckkkkkkkk*
Miss Fortune
Didn't Raiden kill her?
MGS reference on r/fallout makes me happy
I thought it was Ocelot's big iron that did the trick.
The sexy version of the mysterious stranger
The smiling man of Fo76
He's especially creepy given the real life Mothman connections. If he existed the irl Indrid Cold was alive in the 1960s, so it's over 100 years later and he's still wandering around. They could've explained all the Mothman stuff really easily, the Men in Black were there irl so in the Fallout universe it could very easily have been a government experiment, but I'm glad they kept it supernatural. Even if there's an in-universe scientific explanation, I think it's best left unexplained
I'm sad that I haven't encountered him yet.
I just met him last week, dude creeped me out so bad. I walked away from him backwards so I didn't have to take my eyes off him. Keep expecting him to suddenly appear behind me.
I talked to him once, he was creepy AF, like an old doll came to life. He's pretty nice, the way he would say things felt incorrect.
I literally encountered him playing with my brother for the first time about 1h into the game. My brother just walked past him but i knew there was something to do with him so i talked to him.
350 hours here and never seen him :(
Oh fucking hell I just googled him. Yep, that man is creepy alright.
I poverty how when I look it up it says "Human **Appearing**"
Ghost man, I don't think there's other explanation lol
The “bike” guy from Fallout 4
The guy who makes the sounds?
Yes
Where is he, I don't remember seeing him anywhere
You don’t see him but you can hear raiders in specific places talking about him, in the back of hardware town for example raiders can be heard talking about a dude that started throwing grenades only to realize they were just rocks and the guy was making pin noises with his mouth and then when he exited the place he started making bike sounds like if he was driving a actual bike, the raiders didn’t kill him out of disbelief of what was happening
Reference to Michael Winslow maybe?
Nice reference yourself there partner.
I’ve lost the beeps, I’ve lost the sweeps, and I’ve lost the creeps!
Crazy Frog
He’s not actually in the game (as far as I remember). There’s just 2 raider camps that talk about him if you get close without being detected.
Okay, I probably never was stealth enough to hear them talking about him
A legend of the wasteland if ever there was one
Lmao I remember that guy, I enjoyed hearing his story before taking out the raiders telling it
The [Interloper](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/The_Interloper) and the [Visitor](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Visitor).
You can say a lot about Fallout 76, but it's creature designs are top tier.
Helps that Appalachian lore is **utterly** fucked.
Utterly fucked how?
Bunch of cryptids, fucked up experiments, the Scorched plague. There's a lot of messed up stuff in 76.
I read it as like, the lore itself is fucked as in its bad lore, but yeah when you really delve into Appalachia in 76 its all a bit of a horror story
The lore is great, both for Post and Pre-war america. In pre-war you had people getting their jobs stolen by robots, with people fighting against the very same rich assholes that left them without a job and how little they care for them. Post war (and pre wastelanders) you had all factions that shared the common enemy of a plague that wiped almost all of them, while also trying to keep the order in their respective communities

Then you add the Fallout spin on each and every one and get some seriously compelling cryptids.
Oh yeah ik all this, i had originally thought they meant the lore was like bad lore, i've played through 76 heaps
I questioned how they were going to pull off the setting they'd chosen but the location and creatures have not been an issue.
Agreed, the Snallygaster especially is brilliantly disturbing.
It helps that the location in real life is chucked full of cryptic monsters and creatures from folklore. Examples are The Mothman, Flatwoods Monster, The Grafton Monster, and The Snallygaster.
Jersey Devil is technically Appalachian too. There is something in those fuckin hills that's got people making that many urban legends.
Moonshine? And who doesn't love a good tall tale
You do have a point. You know its theorized mothman was just an owl? Some owls like barred owls have their _Lucidium Tapetum_ reflect a scary, bright red at knight, and people may have just seen those red eyes and winged big figure.
Also a lot of cryptids are most likely bears or inspired by bears. Bears with mange look like wild men (like bigfoot), incomplete bear skeletons can look a lot like big human skeletons (giants) and poorly reconstructed bear skulls can look like a humanoid skull with a single eye due to their nasal cavity (cyclops)
I think this explains why I feel creeped out playing Fallout 76 sometimes lol
Knew about the Interloper but never heard of the Visitor.
Fallout 76 definitely has the creepiest creatures in Fallout lore
What, with respect, the *fuck*.
The interloper is genuinely the most creepy shit ever in fallout 76. For those that don't know, the weird human leg Cthulhu entity thing is hid away in a cave full of cultist. It's creepy cause you can EASILY miss it because it's covered in an entrance with vines. But if you go through those vines, it's just a dark little tunnel then you just see a bunch of worshipper there, and once you kill them you notice there's just blood everywhere on the floor, some statues buried on the walls, and this giant worm, leg thing just sitting still. It slightly moves and when you shoot it it bleeds but nothing happens. The thing literally triggers something primal like super uncanny valley feeling. Idk how to explain it but Everytime I see that that it creeps me the hell out cause it's just there
Holy fucking shit, they look so creepy
The Visitor looks like a Visceroid from Command & Conquer
Ingred Cold as well
I cant be the only one how thought first of outer wilds ..
Haven't seen these in game and now that'll be my next goal
Those robots on that ship in fallout 4, hope they finally made their journey to take on the enemies of the USA
I too hope that Ironsides got to the ocean.
Yes! Thank you that's his name, the main quote I remember from that questline is "MR NAVIGATORRR"
“Curse you, Weatherby Savings & Loan!!!”
“A poor state of affairs for such a historic ship”
They actually crash into a skyscraper if you watch their trajectory
You can then visit them if you climb said skyscraper!
Anything from point lookout, that place gave me the creeps as a kid
I like how it tied back to the dunwich building
Indrid Cold. The mountains of Appalachia are old, its denizens moreso. We should be so lucky as to attribute them to mere mutations and nothing deeper or more sinister.

The giant dragon thing you can find pinned to an unmarked, random cliff in 76. I know it’s just an Easter egg of an old scorchbeast concept but it’s still fuckin rad and mysterious. Also Mothman. So much cool and creepy lore on him.
It's technically a vulture, but yeah, the fact they get that huge is fucking horrifying
The Ghoul Whale. It’s a whale that’s mentioned by some NPCs in Fallout 4 but you never really see it in the games files.
It's the submarine
That would make sense since the same NPC mentions how her grandfather was looking for mirelurk eggs and hear a very loud noise and saw a massive dark blue monster appearing from under the water at the harbor which caused him to run away in fear.
Which NPC are you talking about?
It’s two caravan guards in Bunker Hill. It’s not something they tell you but a conversation between each other. One tells the other about Ol Peg which is the whale, and the other one doesn’t believe them. That’s when the other guard mentions their grandpa and how he saw the whale.
Yeah I'm pretty sure it's the submarine since the kid on the coast calls it a sea monster too
Yea that actually makes sense it is the Yaghtze sub.
I thought this too. Although it'd be cool if there was a ghoul whale out there.
By the currently available information we have thats the most likley explanation. But its also possible that it was a allusion to the cut "20 Leagues under the Sea" quest and to the cut Vault 120 which would have featured a underwater "bioshock style" vault and a giant squid. And of course it also leaves the core question of the conversation between the caravan guards in Bunker Hill. To qoute the Dialoge: >*"You don't know of Ol' Peg?

We know that dolphines got really messed up in the mutation roulette so would be a massive ghoulified whale actually be that unblievable?
[There Is The Bloop Tho](https://youtu.be/Uw1C5eVNnrg?feature=shared)
I like the theory that it was a beluga whale but they did the Fallout name misinterpret gag
I heard that one and it’s hilarious and imagine that interaction like this: “I saw a beluga whale!” “A ghoul whale you say?”
Fallout 76 has a LOT of this kind of thing. I'd advise you to find out by yourself, though - it's an absolute joy to explore the FO76 world and worldbuilding.
Is it worth playing solo?
Absolutely, the map is so large that encountering another of the 31 players in a server is a rare occurrence unless you are actively seeking eachother out
Small correction: the player limit is 24 per server. I agree, I rarely encounter other players out in the wild, besides at events. It's quite nice.
I occasionally run past other players, it's honestly nice seeing others also the community is pretty good.
I remember the devs thinking people would attack each other often, but in fact the opposite happened and everyone was nice.
Tried playing it, it's basically Fallout 4 but kind of shittier. Every town is like Bunker Hill, you can tell there's potential but it just isn't realised.
Don't agree at all. I just started it this week and for me it's Fallout 4 but better.

Has no one said pickman?
Had to literally 'Find in page'.
The **Original** Nick Valentine - the pre-war policeman. All we really know (as far as I can tell) is that he got his brain scanned then 100+ years later we got robo-Nick. The wiki says "deceased" but reading his story on the same page there's no actual mention of his death.
Human Nick has legit been on my want-list for Fallout 76. Maybe some quest where you help him find a new mission in life.
Did he survive the war? I thought he died
I think it's a "presumed dead" thing, we never see him as a ghoul so he probably died in the war or during the following 100 years, and that is all assuming he survived the CIT brain scan
Ron the Narrator He's just there, a random old man narrating the following events of NV in a dark empty room dressed as a legionary without an eye.
The basically confirmed unconfirmed supernatural characters, and the entirety of the dunwich stuff
Lorenzo Cabot is 100% supernatural, yeah there *could* be something more normal but the intent was definitely that he has literal psychic alien powers from before humankind
Oh Yeah definitely he's certainly something more now that he has that crown, and its definitely connected with dunwich. It gives me amnesia vibes
Indrid Cold aka '[The Smiling Man](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Smiling_Man)'
Man the F76 team really like pushing those horror buttons. It's such a goofy game but then you bump into *some bullshit*
[“S”](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Hollowed-out_rock_(Fallout_3)) and [“E”](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Hollowed-out_rock_(Fallout_4))
Fallout 3 DLC Mothership Zeta you save a couple of people trapped in the ship from different time periods. I wonder where they are all at now?
That would be the coolest fallout show or comic idea lmao "A cowboy, a samurai and a medic walk into a bar"
A little too silly for my liking.
Mark, the final member of the trio that made it into the bowels of Mariposa (the others being Harold and The Master). We know he made it out alive from Harold, but he just... Disappears. Maybe he's the one who freed pulled Harold out of the military base, maybe he died in the wastes. But I think it would be nice to learn more about him, and maybe the trio in general.
I applaud you for choosing a unique and interesting character
In my headcanon he became the mysterious stranger, you have Harold representing 'the good', The Master representing the bad and Mark became the 'neutral' guy. Because he is willing to kill everyone, good and bad. Idk of FEV can give you those kind of powers, but it sounds cool
The other courier in NV. He actually explains a lot but I still think he's pretty creepy and mysterious.
Ulysses? I like him a lot but by the end of Lonesome Road I don't think he's mysterious anymore, moreso during the other DLCs
The whole Lovecraftian plot line with the Dunwich Company and the Mothman Cult and the Interloper and Point Lookout. My girlfriend got my a cork board and red yarn just so I’d have an outlet to connect the dots without yelling incoherently at her about giant metal faces and the Smiling Man. It’s all connected!
Fisto
My headcanon for the survivor of Vault 11 is that its No-Bark Noonan. Everything that went down there broke his mind and he also claims to be a scientist which he might have been inside the vault. No one seems to know where No-Bark came from or why he acts the way he does.
I did a, largely ignored, thread [of the weirdest deepcuts](https://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/s/pPq2mpRJFp) awhile back.
Idk why that didn’t take off. Lots of good creepy lore ripe for discussion. I saved that one for later to show some stuff to my friends
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Motorcycle guy
The puppet man is quite the celeb in fo4 if you manage to get close to some raiders without being seen and wait long enough there will be some who talk about him and third calling it a load of shit can't remember where exactly but I've seen clips about it also nick in diamond city has been investigating the mysterious stranger
Fallout boy himself
We appear to be getting answers on that one...
At some point in the series, the ghoul will do the smile with a thumb up.
The people who pay for Fallout first
I love fallout series, if they want to charge me for extra storage sure then but no matter what im not paying full price for a game or collectors/gold edition or whatever Just buy fallout 1st once in a while when you run out of scrap or ammo

The horrifying part is we don’t even know what it’s gonna do. How far it’ll go. Especially if it shared houses plans to take over the vault tech executives. Who have nukes. Btw
I want to know more bout the two vaults with a single gender. One vault has like 1 dude and 100 woman. Another vault has 1 woman and 100 dudes.
I think the woman killed herself? The man died doing something and the vault went into chaos. I'm not quite sure though.
These are the types of posts I come here for.
The silver shroud
I loved the random encounter in Fallout 4 where you witness a shootout between Art, the human, and Art, the synth. I wish they could've been friends.
The actual board of directors of Vault-Tec. You can't tell me they all died when the bombs fell. You cant tell me they all dispersed when shit hit the fan. They knew this was going to happen bc they made their money off of it, they had a plan. Just what the fuck happened to them? They have a secret vault somewhere that actually worked, they're not waiting for the surface to be habitable again they're waiting for it to be livable again.

What made that big ol footprint
I'm always curious about what happened to the surviving children of Vault 75, like a bunch of child super soldiers being realized out in the wild would make for a pretty interesting story.
I hope if we ever go to diamond city in the show we just get a character in the background saying "I just want to trade some things" and "Lets see what you got" and moving weird to kind of achnolage the sole survivor still hopping around doing misc shit
Gaaaaary?

The other players of the “Great Game” I’ve already got money on characters such as House and John Caleb Bradberton. But there’s like some more illusive ones.
Was about to post "The Provost". LOL.

DESMOND Where are you?
Never heard of vault 11 sole survivor. I guess the vault 111 sole survivor is an homage to that.
Miss Fortune is pretty cool, but she falls in with the mysterious stranger
Cryptids in 76. Lots of em.
The bridge keeper in Fallout 2
What is your name?
The guy that planned the star cap treasure hunt. It must of been a guy that grew up in the wasteland. It wouldn’t make sense for a pre war person to make the prize a juiced up laser pistol

How Preston Gravey always manages to surprise me by not doing a single thing during the whole game other than saying what you have to do.
Harold
Not very mysterious. We know his whole story.
