The "Bad Guys" of Fallout

Master was baffled about his super mutants being sterile. But there was no female super mutant. Even if they weren't sterile, what was his plan?

exposure to radiation was literally the opposite of key for successful super mutants those who had damaged genetics via radiation exposure were inferior to "prime normal" derived super mutants that's why one of the masters main goals was to find and conquer vaults

You know... That thumbnail made something occur to me. The brotherhood really should have been the villains of fallout 3. Think about it. Their ideology is specifically anti mutant. Even non-feral ghouls. They just gun them down. But the enclave, for all their many, many, many flaws, weren't anti mutant. I mean they shreked Frank Horrigan, specifically to make him a better killing machine. They were exposed to radiation massively out at the rig. And were actively experimenting with FEV to use it on themselves. They were monsters, sure. But why would they want to secretly genocide a large portion of Washington state. They were mutated themselves. They wanted control, and wanting the purifier, sure. That's logical. That's a great bargaining chip to exert political soft power. But they'd gain nothing from it being tainted. They'd only be weakening it's potential as a bargaining chip. Now the brotherhood. Them poisoning the purifier. That makes sense. "Normal" people can still use it. But anyone mutated getting sick or dying off, that's entirely within their logic. Even within Bethesda Lore. They doomed Rivet city to rip its reactor for The Prydwen. They are more than capable of relying on military strength or savagery to achieve their goals. And they despise mutants. Basically every interaction with the Enclave in F3 could have been named swapped to the brotherhood. And it would have actually improved the story. The "evil" choice of siding with the brotherhood in those circumstances also wouldn't be so clear cut and direct. Like yea, you'd be committing a genocide. Those are bad, you shouldn't do those. But have you seen it out there? Genetic monstrosities roam the land and prey on the people. Sure a lot of people would die. But how many more in the long run are gonna be kidnapped by super mutants. how many more are gonna be devoured alive by giant ants? You'd be doing something monstrous. But how many more would live because of your actions? How many more lives could grow up in relative safety. Due to you flipping a switch? You could argue either action is monstrous. Each condemns hundreds to death. Thousands maybe. Either passively, allowing the wasteland to continue preying on the weak, the helpless for the benefit of the brutal the cunning. Or actively, by sabotaging Project purity. You would condemn thousands to potentially save countless more. And that's a far more interesting choice.

Have to say, I've grown a bit of sympathy for Kellogg. Yes, he was a ruthless jerk, a monster even, but he was loyal to the Institute and his boss and he got completely backstabbed, just because Shaun grew half a conscience in the face of his own impending end. Sure, Kellogg deserved what he got and even from who he got it from, but you can't deny he got utterly betrayed and blindsided.

Love Mr Lunar and Mrs Lunar voice work 🤌🏽 Great video so far

Dick Richardson= Dick Dickson

In the fallout games that give you options for endings, the evil character is like Benny or Kellogg, their not really evil but the plays courier hates them for something, so the NCR and legion in NV are not evil because it’s the players pov

Just like in real life when I play fallout everyone breathing and not bleeding is my antagonist

I stand with the supporting Mr house being the canon ending but the series says otherwise

New name? Good vid as always can't wait for more keep it up

The back and forth between male and female voices is gr8 for retention

Good stuff I was looking for you guys

can you do Fallout Tactics and Fallout Brotherhood of Steel

We need more Mrs lunar 🎉

The Only good guys in Fallout 4 is the minutmen and the institute once you take over as the director.
