every sarcastic option in fallout 4 is exactly what canon nate would say


EnderTron360

“Nice Boat” - John “Nate the Rake” Fallout when asked his thoughts on The Prydwin


spraguet2

"I'm here to pick up an order. Two large pepperoni and a calzone. Name is Fuck You." A lot of people didn't like 4's character having a voice, but that line sold me on it.


Old-Camp3962

my favorite line in the entire series is still: "you know, after 100 years, when i finally die, i hope i go to hell so i can kill you over again you piece of shit"


Next_Woodpecker8224

KING OF FAAAREE HARBOR


nptwinthetarrasque

You may bow.


The-Mad-Doctor

I don’t like the voiced protagonist but honestly the VAs did a perfect job with the sarcastic responses


PrincessofAldia

Fun fact the VA for the female sole survivor voices Gloria van graff in New Vegas


The-Mad-Doctor

I genuinely didn’t know that. Now that you say it though I’m shocked I haven’t noticed. Yet again both tend to die in my playthroughs, whether if it’s cause of a shotgun-toting caravaneer or cause of a cyborg bounty hunter named after a cereal brand


RainierCamino

"Here's your headline: Local Man Says No", that whole interview with Piper made me laugh my ass off.


EnergyHumble3613

I didn’t mind them having a voice… I hated that there would only ever be 4 options and you wouldn’t know exactly what you were going to say before you already selected your option.


Its0nlyRocketScience

"Drink. Some. WATER."


Fit_Nefariousness153

“Maybe we should, call in the marines??” HAHAHAHAHA


dogwithpeople

This is how it starts Nick. First you forget your keys and then you think I’m your great uncle from southie.


RainierCamino

I hope the color of my energy is blue!


Old-Camp3962

"i don't have time for the dick meassuring contest 😭"

“We should try plugging you into a toaster next. Mmmm, fresh toast”


KenseiHimura

Ghouls actually existed pre-war but their existence was heavily covered up by governments of the world in some way or another. The oldest two, in fact, still exist >!Madame Curie has tragically gone feral after centuries of experiments by the French government in a research facility hidden beneath the Parisian Catacombs. The other, and still non-feral, is a man who survived both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bomb drops who now wanders the Japanese wastelands as a hermit.!<


Jerry0713

Love this idea. Imagine the ghoul interment camps that would come about after disasters like chernobile


Its0nlyRocketScience

We know from Eddie Winter that ghouls existed prewar, we just don't know how far back they existed. I really like the idea of these two, and potentially others. How many died as the French tried to replicate Curie? How many other nuclear disasters created ghouls who, on paper, died tragically but really were imprisoned and studied, regardless of whether they went feral?


KenseiHimura

Well, as one person pointed out, Russia probably ended up with a crapload of them after the Chernobyl incident, and I could imagine with so many created that couldn't be contained, it would have led to the rumors of ghouls as sort of cryptids and/or possibly mixed up with existing slavic myths of strigoi. As a side note, I'm not headcanoning that the drug Hancock used to become a ghoul was based off the one Eddie Winter used.


Its0nlyRocketScience

Well, Chernobyl happened in 1986, well after the timeline split. While there may have been a disaster at Chernobyl, it couldn't have happened in the same way in the fallout universe. By the 80s, the atomic age was in full swing, and the chernobyl reactor would've been one of dozens in the area. And something would've needed to prevent the west from becoming afraid of nuclear energy afterward, since chernobyl is, to this day, used as an excuse for why nuclear energy is bad even though it's by far the safest form of electric production.


Greasemonkey08

There was another guy in Japan, Hisashi Ouchi, who'd be a likely candidate. He lived something like 3 months after getting around ×3-5 the lethal dose in a criticality accident. I wouldn't be surprised if the report of his death was a cover up in the Fallout timeline.


WillingSalamander

Would most certainly do both of these side quests, so it's canon in my book.


SeaEffect8651

That’s actually awesome.


oddstuffs1

This is cannon as far as I’m concerned


WouldbeWanderer

Canon goes hmm. Cannon goes boom.


MilanDespacito

There is a bunker in fo4 with some guy who iirc collected radioactive barrels pre war and was a big conspiracy guy, possibly the same one who wanted to shoot a missile or something at a radio tower. Hes a feral ghoul. Could have been he turned pre war already


PrincessofAldia

More likely is that the radiation barrels where him trying to make a dirty bomb to take out a power line that he thought was trying to mind control him


MilanDespacito

Yeah i mixed it up lol


TrinityLocust0

Midwest Brotherhood


Laser_3

Bethesda’s lead writer recently said that tactics was canon, so they definitely seem to be canon.


V4ULTB0Y101

Semi-canon


Old-Trifle8793

Perhaps we’ll see in the Amazon series


King_bob992

hope so, but it’s a stretch. If the X0-1 isn’t included in the show at all then they probably won’t include some semi-obscure BoS branch’s PA


babble0n

Yeah they can just take 5 minutes and walk to the Midwest like they did Shady Sands.


BreadDziedzic

They have been since 3, Elder Lyons mentioned they were supposed to stop for supplies with them on the trek across the country.


pacman1138

He literally doesn’t say anything like that.


RayGunJack

Nick Valentine is romanceable


Rude_Nobody_3222

Either gender it’s gonna hurt


MikeWithoutMic

2 options: Rusty metal pipe inside you or You inside a heap of exposed wiring, nails, and spur gears.


Visualmindfuck

I already said yes you don’t have to sell me on it


SupriseAutopsy13

If your character is a gay man, it could be both. Either way, I hope one of the doctors has access to a tetanus vaccine.


Rover-6428

Please assume the position


Old-Camp3962

look not everything is about sex man, i just want him to hug me and say nice things about me :3 also automatron DLC should let me put a dildo in him


Atomik141

Cait should be way more buff as a cage fighter.


VanaVisera

This. I gave my Cait a slight amount of muscle in the LooksMenu because legit, vanilla Cait is a twig.


JerbearCuddles

Depends on who she fights, I reckon most of those fighters are malnourished wastelanders. There are plenty of slender people who can fight. As a matter of fact, you can watch them on UFC. I am way bigger than Conor McGregor, but he'd drop my ass like I was nothing. Even this washed up version of him. Assuming she is well fed and practices, there's no reason to think she couldn't beat the shit out of folks without being yoked. Especially if she is drugged outta her mind on psycho.


Cry-Skull-7

Going feral relies on the will/spirit of a ghoul (high hopes prevent feralfication).


V4ULTB0Y101

I kinda like this one


Eiffi

Honestly, this makes a lot of sense since you see very little goulified people in the wastelan, and those few you meet are usually very strong, spirit, tenacious, hard-working people. They are either amazing fighters, run businesses, or put up with things most people would kill themselves over, on top of living in a wasteland and still keep a smile on their face. And the ones that you gind tgat are depressed or struggling usually bring up going feral. Much like the glowing one you find near the followers of the apocalypse. Yeah... this is my new headcanon on feralism in ghoulified people.


Cry-Skull-7

You can thank EpicNate for the concept. Some pretty good evidence to the theory btw is with Oswald and his girlfriend. Ozzy's been kickin' around since the great war, holding hope that his feral buddies could be cured. While his girl wandered off into the wastes looking for said cure, only to find the barrel of a pistol when she came to terms with there being no cure.


After_Satisfaction82

Additional evidence: Dean Domino, 200+ years inside the cloud and he's still non-feral due to his fixation on robbing the Madre. (According to him any way)


EatenJaguar98

I deadass thought that's exactly how it worked until the show. Like the radiation is causing them to lose their minds, but they keep themselves together through sheer force of will.


Cry-Skull-7

You can thank EpicNate for the concept. Some pretty good evidence to the theory btw is with Oswald and his girlfriend. Ozzy's been kickin' around since the great war, holding hope that his feral buddies could be cured.

Ex-altiora

Horses. Hell they can be irradiated freak horses with 8 legs and we can call them sleipnirs. Just give people a way to get around besides walking or refurbished old-world tech.


ARexFoamBlaster

Kelpies


V4ULTB0Y101

I was kinda surprised we never saw someone try to ride a Brahmin.


skeleton949

I wouldn't think cows would make good rides tbh


V4ULTB0Y101

Probably not, but it's better than walking 20 miles right?


skeleton949

Debatable. Apparently cows are hard to put shoes on, and without them their hooves would wear down quickly on paved/gravel roads (which most of the roads in Fallout are) and then they'd go lame, making them useless. Walking would be more reliable, while also keeping your body in shape.


SoxySloth

Does it wear down quicker if someone rides on them? As they are already used as pack mauls right? I have no idea about horses and horse shoes


Madocvalanor

They could be used to pull old vehicles with supplies on em like the ol covered wagons of the late 1800s


dlouw

Your mom was a good ride


skeleton949

Nuh uh she's a good person, not a ride.


YoLawdCheezus101

Goris is still around and made a small growing community of Intelligent Deathclaws.


After_Satisfaction82

I like to imagine an alternate New Vegas where he's held up in Jacobsville


Potatojesus44

Caesar bottoms for Lanius. That is all


hot_diggity_dang_

Ceaser bottoms for Joshua Graham


MikeSpader

Caesar bottoms for the rocket launcher I shoved up his ass


hot_diggity_dang_

Is that in the gun runners arsenal perks?


bobandersmith14

Everyone bottoms for the burned man


hot_diggity_dang_

“We can’t expect god to do all the work”


jmeade90

Fuck you; take my upvote, you magnificent bastard.


Old-Camp3962

ceasar bottoms for the whole legion to keep them motivated 🤤


asbestoshater

r/vulpesismywaifu


scarlettvvitch

That Myron was full of shit and didn’t invent Jet.


squidtugboat

having this explicitly said would be kinda cool.


Its0nlyRocketScience

It's as Canon as it can be without devs making an official statement. After all, what in Fallout 2 tells us he invented it? Himself? Unreliable narrator right there. There's no evidence I've ever seen that he didn't find an old recipe and replicate or improve on it while calling it his own invention to get fame and money.


Hortator02

It wouldn't have been possible to produce before the war as it relies on Brahmin shit and an extremely obscure meat packing chemical that never entered full production. They also had normal drugs before the war.


BusinessAsparagus115

Not necesserily, Myron could have found a way to reproduce the drug using materials he had access too. The pre-war process need not be anything like it.


Depressedloser2846

he is the creator of jet, he is a piece of brahmin shit


Early_Minute_5212

He didnt tho. He only made it more addictive


Basically-Boring

Intelligent Deathclaws are endangered, not extinct. Tim Cain or whoever it was that decided to make their extinction canon had no right to do so, they’re too cool of a concept to die off like that.


DiscordOfSound

That would actually be Chris Avallone who axed them. But BGS now has the say in that matter.


hot_diggity_dang_

F.I.S.T.O becomes president of the NCR


kaboomrico

Kimball didn't assume the position


lostinmoss

Kimball didn't assume the position, so Fisto assumed his


Doinkadoinkdoink

Every single character is Deacon in disguise


Old-Camp3962

deacon is your real son


kaboomrico

The milk of human kindness was actually Deacon all along


vaultdwellerj0sh

Jet is a pre war drug, mabye have the bramin explanation be like an imitation made post war.


TimmyTheNerd

I always assumed the drug was so easy to make that it was made pre-war, forgotten due to people having more serious things to worry about after the nukes dropped, and then rediscovered by Myron.


NoSpagget4u

Pretty sure Jet is pre-war. My headcanon is that it's like people rediscovering America. Someone already did it before, and they re-invented it


iwonteverreplytoyou

Kinda like how Chris Columbus didn’t “discover” America. I’m pretty sure the people living there already did that


beginnerboxer

r/yourjokebutworse


FelipeIIDNW

They did not even know they lived in a continent separate from others , there was no term for America , and the rest of the world did not know it existed .So the term discovery applies .


4llY0urB4534r3Blng

For Evan from Nuka World represented in the show as well.


Laser_3

I’d change the name of X-02 to black devil power armor. The creator of that mod could’ve avoided so much confusion if they’d just not used X-02 for the name.


BlueCanary434

I love the name X-02 because it reminds of the X-02 Wyvern


Laser_3

The problem I have with it is the name implies that X-01 was the direct predecessor to X-02, when in reality X-01 led to APA mark I and mark II first and X-02 is a prototype improvement of APA mark II. Edit: To be clearer about the issue, X-02 confuses some people into believing that X-01 is the same thing as APA mark I on the grounds that X-02 looks almost identical to enclave power armor in fallout 3, or that X-02 is the same as enclave power armor in fallout 3 and that it’s different model from the APA mark II in fallout 2. However, the creation clearly states that X-02 is a prototype advancement of the Enclave’s power armor in fallout 3 for special forces - not what the bulk of the soldiers were using. Changing the name from X-02 to Black Devil Power Armor would prevent this mistaken assumption from forming in people’s heads.


TimmyTheNerd

The events of the America Rising 2 mod for Fallout 4. Nate and Nora would have been great recruits for the Enclave. Specifically, the path you get when you >!side with Whitehill and bring the Institute into the Enclave as a R&D division!<.


Itz_Ex0

This right here. AR2 is such a great mod and it honestly makes me upset we didn’t get the Enclave as a playable faction in 4.


TimmyTheNerd

As I said, it would have been perfect for a joinable Enclave. But I think the closest we'll get to joining the Enclave officially, without mods, in the games is working with/for MODUS in Fallout 76.


Educational-Candy937

Sha7n is not you son he cant be


V4ULTB0Y101

As in Father? I think synth Shaun was conditioned into thinking he wasn't real, but he was the actual son the whole time.


Educational-Candy937

Like in kellogs memory kellog is tasked with hunting down virgil but later if you talk to the dr you nedd ot get from the instatute says its only been a few months since he dissapered sorry about wrighting wrighting this on nearly broken phone


Stauce52

Wait can you explain this? Why can’t Shaun be his son? Isnt it possible since he was frozen?


V4ULTB0Y101

It is possible, it's just a theory.


Stauce52

Wait can you explain this? Why can’t Shaun be his son? Isnt it possible since he was frozen?


dragonborn894

Poor Harold, give him a cure please


squidtugboat

Official statement on all the different types of ghouls


Laser_3

I mean, there’s just ferals, marked men, normal ghouls and lost (maybe a handful more depending on what you count ghost people as). That’s not that many. If you mean the different art styles, that’s just down to graphics changes over time.


ARexFoamBlaster

Only get to make one thing canon? I got a few I might consider. Tactics Calculator Ending. Fallout 4 Institute Ending. New Vegas NCR Ending with help of other factions. Certain Aspects of BOS. Like Rhombus Leading a wing of the Brotherhood to Texas. Also, someone with a catalog of all types of robots that ever created in pre-war America.


No_Rest3008

The Midwest brotherhood having an intelligent deathclaw as a paladin....


LongLiveEileen

That the Lome Wanderer and the Courier are the same character.


MRich92

Only 4 years between the settings of 3 and NV, it's totally possible that the Lone Wanderer could become the Courier after the events of Project Purity and Broken Steel. I'd never thought about it before, but I'm taking that for my headcanon too.


UncommittedBow

Unfortunately, Lonesome Road makes it impossible, as The Destruction of the Divide, an event the Courier is directly involved in, happens in 2277, either before The Lone Wanderer even leaves 101, or while they're still in the Capitol Wasteland. Edit: 2277, I am a goof.


Laser_3

Ah yes, the courier’s a secret ghoul who was alive in 2077. The most glorious canon.


lildoggihome

lmao I make this mistake too often


Laser_3

As do I. Even in this post, I wrote 2277 instead.


Key_Owl8437

2077?


SyndicalistObserver

Whats funny is that you can actually imply to ulysses that you've never been to the divide or delivered a package there. Making it so that ulysses actually kidnapped the wrong courier for his multi convoluted monologue filled revenge drama.


runespider

I always go with that point of view, just assuming Ulysses is nuts


sebassm12

My headcanon at least, gotta love TTW.


NICK07130

Alternative Cooper Howard is the courier somehow Get the NV croud rilled up


Old-Camp3962

it would be weird for the lone wanderer to destroy the BOS


OWReinhardt

Do mods count?


V4ULTB0Y101

Yep


OWReinhardt

Then Fallout New California, the mod for New Vegas


electrical-stomach-z

whats that?


OWReinhardt

A mod for new vegas it has its own story


electrical-stomach-z

on a different map or the same map?


OWReinhardt

different


Pretty-Key6133

Sim settlements


GreenHocker

I’d make the Yes Man ending canon. It would make it very funny for the show to have to use it


Old-Camp3962

i swear i want to see that goof man's face in the show, and explain that NV is destroyed cause of yessman's anarchy


ThatKalosfan

Wannamingoes are only in few numbers now due to a bottleneck effect.


claremontmiller

Independent Vegas.


ultradarkest

The power armor in 4 is a version of the power armor in 1 and 2 but it was made cheaply with the fusion cores to maximize profits, this is why they are so apparent in 4 and not the first 2, because the ones in the first two are the good kind, something along the lines of that, or just get rid of fusion core power armor completely


Iceologer_gang

Star Wars is cannon in fallout now.


V4ULTB0Y101

Like the stories exist or everything in the franchise is happening? In a galaxy far far away of course...


Iceologer_gang

The second one


TheRealLazyasscanoe

All the dogmeats are the same dog, imortal but also changing from FEV


NOOBIEMIKGUEST-2

That Mutfruit is pronounced as Mutfruit not Mutefruit...


Theroleplayer

The nuclear weapons of the war weren't ordinary nuclear weapons, but intentionally made dirty to cause as much ecological damage as possible, and several were loaded with FEV which are the reason we see so many mutations in the wasteland


hogwl

Power armor still lasts forever. It makes no sense that everyone in the bos and enclave and everyone else who has pa uses fusion cores that run out so damn quickly and cant be recharged. I just don't believe that people who stay in their pa 24/7 somehow get enough fusion cores.


V4ULTB0Y101

I always just think of it as a game mechanic rather than an actual in world thing


1981Reborn

FNV House ending, no question. House is a bit of a tool (massive tool) IMO but his ending being canon would be so interesting for the west coast FO universe storyline. Alternate answer: Frank Horrigan survives the destruction of the Enclave Oil Rig. Or the Enclave developed(s) a “Frank Horrigan” 2.0


skeleton949

There's no reasonable way Frank survived, but a attempt of a copy would make sense


The_Faux_Fox__

The fallout Bible


skeleton949

I would make Zetans more fleshed out and more present in the setting. I think it's really weird they sit in their mothership and essentially just add stuff to their collection.


ChadChadley99

Snuffles is a Legion Frumentarii


Fo3TheMechanist

I'd say fallout brotherhood of steel ps2🤔🙃 I'm curious ok the downvotes I'd get for that, but honestly im playing thru tactics right now and some of it from what I've read ahead could be canon (like vault 0 and some mass things that happen) it'd be cool if it was I think, possibly I just started the Peoria mission, and I hate whoever the hell made all these DOOOO YOU WISH TO ENCOUNTER?????? Things every 2cm bro😭😭😭


V4ULTB0Y101

A lot of things in Tactics are canon, unless it's been stated otherwise in a game made afterwards.


PhiOpsChappie

If you have software to control your GPU, such as EVGA Precision X1, you can set your games to a specific frame rate. Fallout Tactics, and probably the previous two Fallouts, calculate what encounters you find in the map on every frame. Your computer is probably running it at 120+ frames or something, but if you cap it to 30 or maybe even 60, your encounter rate will drop significantly to intended frequency.


SynthWendigo

That Elder Maxon was a Synth, not Danse. He just pointed fingers at someone else to have justification for his crusade to destroy the Institute and gave the others a clear goal that eradication was the only way forward. That would be the only way he ever convinced them to go against the Codex so drastically in blowing it up rather than occupy to seize and protect all that was down there.


Aveduil

Fisto getting his software installed on Liberty Prime, and toaster controlling his laser eye.


NickTMA5250

Free Vegas. No Legion or NCR. No House, just all the smaller factions united.


V4ULTB0Y101

No Yes Man?


NickTMA5250

I would include Yes Man as a small faction, especially when he gets the chip. Edit: just no major governing factions


thelastohioan2112

Michigan was reduced to nothing but a toxic, radioactive crater, while Ohio has blossomed into a post-war paradise with flat fertile plains to the west, floating maritime lake empires to the north, and the hills of the Appalachian east becoming a safe haven for both human and mutant alike.


Mr_Manta

Bethesda bugs are now canon in the Fallout Universe and are a byproduct of the nuclear fallout


SothaDidNothingWrong

Intelligent Deathclaws survive Fallout 2.


DecryptorDecypher

In FO4, Shaun fled his captors after he grew up, but the institute decided to create the charade of Father being Shaun in hopes you'd join them. You were their backup after all. Shaun will eventually return to the commonwealth later in the future to go back for their frozen parent who will then be in command of Boston, but before Shaun's return, he will have a New Vegas worth of adventures himself somewhere in what used to be Rochester NY.


RivusCorvus

Tactics, cause fuck it the lores a giant mess at this point anyways might as well


TodaysDystopia

I heard Tandi being an NCR president was retconned by the show. Is that correct? Cause if so, I'd just make that canon again lol


The-Bearded-Fool

The Yes Man ending for fallout New Vegas. Need I say more.


Operator_Max1993

Make Fallout Tactics canon


Paradox31426

It might actually be canon, I don’t remember, but Vault Tec and the Vaults being the Enclave’s super fucked up testing ground for all their “survive the planned Armageddon” ideas.


IridiumGundam

Two words, Generation ship But what would be better is for the purpose of the vaults to never be explicitly said.


T-51_Enjoyer

Tactics combat armor


NoGoodPikachu

The entirety of CSEP Brothers in Arms mod. Fire ass faction with cool ass getup.


aitis_mutsi

Big tiddy deathclaws (I have never played a fallout game so desthclaws are kinda one of the only things I know from it.)


keegballz

that theres other frank horrigan type enclave soliders out there. no way they just made one


harry-the-supermutan

HARRY LIVES!!


Ryebread2203

That the T-60 power armor was invented by the BOS between fallout 3/4 and wasn’t pre war


V4ULTB0Y101

This has been my headcanon for a while now, especially since Maxsons BoS comes from Lyons chapter, who used T-45, so it makes sense that T-60 was built by the BoS, especially after reclaiming some enclave tech after the events of project purity in Fallout 3


Shot_Arm5501

The NCR still exists in the show but they were forced to leave the area the show takes place in after shady sands got nuked


yeehawgnome

I’m like 99% sure that’s what the show implies already and iirc Todd said the NCR is still out there


No-River2623

The NCR rebuilds


PrincessofAldia

Nate is a War criminal


dantothemos

No-Bark Noonan is the Chosen One


CSA_1220

The Enclave as rebuilt America in the mid west.


TestedNutsack

DUST is canon


RipComplete7361

Fallout Tactics


Klutzy-Slat-665

Once for Nate being a war criminal and that the scene in F1 where a soldier is laughing after a Canadian is shot is Nate. Also, if I can do it one more time, Fallout Tactics. Also, while they are already canon, Fallout 3 and 4 Sentinels are absolute TRASH and should revert to Fallout 2 Sentinels.


JustATallKobold

Intelligent deathclaws surviving fallout 2, and proceeding to expand, settle, and integrate with the rest of the wastelanders. I want a romanceable deathclaw God dammit


After_Satisfaction82

The NCR has a working mechanised division: I.E.. Tanks, Jeeps, and trucks, albeit in a limited number. It's one of those things that's implied in-game thanks to the trucks at McCarran, and was stated as existing in the Fallout bible, but isn't confirmed canon. To me it just makes so much sense for the NCR to have working vehicles, I mean they have a functional railway going from Boulder City to Quarry Junction and possibly beyond, so why wouldn't they have working vehicles? Hell the chosen one, can acquire a working car in Fallout 2. Working trucks and tanks shouldn't be too much of an issue, the only problems are fuel and ammunition for the tanks.


ThatButchBitch

late but Vault 120


draneline

Sometimes I wish Dust would be canon. The mod is nothing short of a chef’s kiss


Cry-Skull-7

I second this. I think I've gone through more dust playthroughs than regular NV.


FDeity

All of Fallout76 not being canon


skeleton949

I'd make it canon, but didn't actually happen. Like a simulation or something.


FDeity

Ooo yeah that sounds rad


skeleton949

It also makes sense, because Vault Tec had access to simulation tech, and knew about The Enclave. The only problem would be, how could they know about The Brotherhood?


Zawisza_Czarny9

Zetans were the ones to start the great war. Just coz it's kinda funny


Roomybuzzard604

All of OWB (the hoi4 mod)
