(Persuade) What are your favorite Fallout mysteries?
Is the lone wanderer circumcised
Creature/Lovecraft-Based
Dunwich by far, I love the Lovecraft mythos. Oh, and good to see you back Nate, been a minute since you uploaded!
Mysterious Stranger. No no no the H.P. related monsters. No no the Zetans. No the Vualt tech origins and plots leading up to the big boom. Maybe the railroad. I enjoy it all.
Definitely the Zetans. Hoping they make an appearance on the TV show. Probably just an Easter Egg. Like a corpse or something
The Dunwich Mystery is so complicated and elaborate that it managed to make Nate forget he’d already covered quite a bit of it in Part 2
Thank you! I thought I was going crazy when he said he didn’t bring it up in pt. 2
He didn't mention the tooth reward though. Also, he'd talked about the guide stone from 76 in pt 1 or 2 as well.
I watched an interview with some of the creators of the show saying they spent a lot of time, especially falling asleep, watching fallout lore videos. I just imagine some Hollywood writer slowly falling asleep to "Hey! How's it going guys? Nate here...."
Yeah, they must have fallen asleep because the show is pretty lore unfriendly. In addition to not being very good.
@@jamespliskins2785 cope the vast majority of the fan base says otherwise.
@@2ndrangersww2 including the head writer of the original two games. And yes it is widely regarded as the best game adaption ever so...
@@jamespliskins2785 no it isn't. Cope and seethe
@@jamespliskins2785I thought it was good and I expected it to suck like 76
It’s been 82 years… Glad to have you back Nate!
He's back!
HEY GUYS NATE HERE I HAVE THE MOST ANNOYING INFLECTION ON CZcams ALAS
@@MisterSingh.idk, sunnyv2 is pretty annoying too
"Everyone knew the bombs were coming.
Everyone but the public."
That sentence is stressing me out 😶🌫
Civilians lived in blissful ignorance I see
lmao you Zoomers are subhuman

@@ValtheFemboy i see dark humor isn't part of your vocabulary.
The Khajits appearance in a fallout game was the missing piece to the Dunwich entity in Fallout, the buried large statues, the Nirnroot in Fallout and the disappearance of the Dwemer in Elderscrolls.
The Dwemer were sent to their own world which happened to be the world of fallout. They are the ancient culture that created the buried relics heads that resemble the Dwemer states and heads, and devices that seemingly had supernatural powers.
There is also a Lich, Blades warrior, Doom Slayer, and some other Bethesda characters in Fallout Shelter Online.
I wonder why Nate didn't mention any of them...
Omg, this kind of feeds into the theory I posted.
@@MDRHokagebecause it’s fallout shelter
So maybe the lovecraftian creature in fallout is actually a god from elder scrolls? There's plenty to choose from .
the ruins that Lorenzo describes also sounds like a Dwemer ruin.
I always thought Sturges was the missing synth from the institute that went missing around the airport. since it's isn't that far from Quincy, where he's from. he's been a child before, from what the terminals around Quincy says, and the synth that went missing was a special "s" type recall code like Shaun. plus he is really quick at learning advance hardware at a young age, just like Shaun. My personal theory was that Sturges was free to roam the institute but escaped and that's why you find Shaun in a glass cage when you first see him.
Meh, doesn't sound that believable to me. I'd hope that's not the case honestly
@@kevinmanginelli6932 his theory makes sense
@@DrCuh not really. But if you believe it, I ain't gonna stop ya there's literally nothing backing the theory up. Lmao
Synths don't age. You can overhear 2 institute scientists (Enrico Thompson and Janet Thompson) have a discussion about it. She feels bad for child Shaun because he will never age.
If S9-43 was a child, he would still be a child if he's still alive.
@@MDRHokageBuilt self-upgrade machine? He's technically inclined and I don't see a reason it'd be IMPOSSIBLE.
After the show came out, a fire lit under me to indulge into these lore videos more. And what better timing. Thanks for the upload man! You're truly a pillar of this community. Keep up the great work man!
I keep telling people who dont know. “Epicnate”
I'm waiting for the show to finish before I binge it.
@@ledarbyromeo9667they released the whole season all at once
If you mean the ENTIRE show, you're probably gonna wait a little bit lol
@@ledarbyromeo9667the watchtime for all of season 1's comfortably over 8hrs long anyways, i think it's worth it to watch now. so excited for the next season tho!
I think the cafe of broken dreams is kinda referencing the song "Hotel California". The lyrics to the song alludes to the hotel being a ghost filled purgatory or memory created place, trapping any wanderers in.
I always felt like Dead Money from New Vegas was hotel California personified into a DLC
Oh it 100% is that lol This guy is just not smart,and likely doesn't know that,and couldn't be bothered to do any research for his video lol He is the worst.
@@jeffdroogthis is a stupid comment full of bias and hate 😅 not everyone can be perfect every time, and nah he definitely isn't the worst. Actual clown take 🤡
@jeffdroog well have you considered just leaving then? I quite like his videos.
@jeffdroog imagine thinking that you watching every video and commenting something negative on every video does anything other than make this man money. You keep commenting bud, the algorithm pushes his videos more when people are active in it 😂
I think the cafe of broken dreams is for all the characters who had players that didn't finish their run. Whether it's because the player got bored or thought it was too hard or whatever. The character didn't get the water chip and save the vault, so they're not a hero. And that's why there's that line about you maybe recognizing one of them - one of them could be your character. But that's just a theory.
Great video! I've been loving the lore deep dives.
Funny story for me is I created two characters for Fallout 1, the first one which sucked and I stopped playing as that character and started up a new character with what I had learned, but once I beat the game with that other character, I went back to my first character and speedran the game basically to finish it with the knowledge I now had lol
I haven't slept, I have work in 6 hours and now I must indulge in another masterpiece
Damn man. Describing my life
Lol I've definitely been there 😅
Lmao my exact situation rn
I’ll probably fall asleep watching this, then watch it again after I work tomorrow
This was me in college.
There is evidence to suggest that during the Sino-American War, the Moon Race was an Armed Conflict. The War Memorial depicts a Astronaut with a Laser Pistol on the Moon, and the Plaque also describes a “Battle on the Sea of Tranquility” that phrase is often used to describe the Lunar Surface. There’s much more evidence for this, as there’s also a Magazine depicting a Soldier wearing a cool type of Space-Worthy Mech Suit with a caption *“US ARMY GOES TO SPACE”* with a Rocket Ship in the Background. And recently and most interestingly, Fallout 76 got a new *“Enclave Space Power Armor”* easy microtransaction bait or an implication that there’s an Enclave Base on the Moon? Ironically, this would fit with the original Van Buren Lore for the Enclave, with them having a Space Station Orbiting Earth and a long-term plan to Colonize new Worlds unspoiled by War and Radiation.
*This is how the Enclave can return.*
Yeah except the enclave is in the fallout TV show which takes place at the end of the timeline so uh yeah 🦀
@@ilikestamps2978 I’m thinking the enclave scenes were flashbacks to pre war. Everything looks too clean and new. I’m guessing the doc and dog both got cryo- podded
Small correction: The Sea of Tranquility (Mare Tranquillitatis) is 1 of 20 major basaltic planes on the Lunar surface, not a name for the surface entirely. It is made up of cooled magma from ancient volcanoes, which are remnants of stronger tides, from when the Moon was closer to the Earth. The cooled Magma makes for a flat surface, hence why it and other basins were chosen for the Apollo missions irl. But, more related to Fallout, these plains would likely be strategically advantageous battlefield zones, with even ground denying any real advantage for the opposing side. It's also a fun little alt-history bit, because irl, Mare Tranquillitatis is where Apollo 11 landed.
@hunterpowell2637 I mean maybe, but I'm still leaning towards the enclave just being around. Actually at this point I think vault tec has been apart of the enclave the whole time, considering whatshisface's monologue about outlasting the wastelanders with vaults, and Lucy's father wanting to kill everyone on the wasteland as well. I think what the showrunners are hinting at is that vault tec was in cahoots with the enclave (basically the rich and powerful) so they can run their experiments, they drop the bombs to kill everyone, and then they clean up the mess afterwards and make a new America essentially.
@@ilikestamps2978 considering the enclave had the access code to get into the vaults in the earlier games. I just always assumed they were connected. Like the top level CEOs were probably also high-level enclave members. Or they could be so intertwined that VT is just the public face of the enclave.
PART 3 WOOOOOOO. I've honestly been waiting for this. Thank you
The fact that I watched part 2 literally 2 days ago 👀
I don't believe you
Too bad half of the video was just reused clips from parts one and two. Sadge.
I just finished my university semester, somehow got free food from door dash on a weird technicality and now this pops on my feed? This day just keeps getting better!
Congratulations and great job. Fuck up that next semester.
1 am Fallout mystery Iceberg? Heck yeah!
timing couldn’t be more impeccable. just finished my last 12hr shift out of town 2 weeks, needed something to fall asleep to. you’ve got my back yet again, thanks!
us Fallout fans are eating too good rn 😭🙏
It’s about damn time our table was served! 😎🙌
Man I want Fallout 5 or a good meaty expansion for 76 give me player towns and guilds dern it.
@freedomforall8342 knowing Bethesda it's going to be a low effort cash grab if they do
Was watching your other FO4 vids when this dropped!
Hey, how’s it going Nate, it’s guys here
Nate, how’s it going guys, it’s Hey here
The man. The myth. THE Nate. I said once before I'd watch any video, and I'll do it again. Especially now that my favorite lore youtuber has been recognized for his Nateness
Honestly, the ending to that video.. I'm so happy that they respect you enough to fear you ❤
Certified banger just dropped
The Iceberg series' have been my favorite videos to listen to while working lately, so glad to get more content from you!
I haven't watched some EpicNate in years. I come back and the content is actually still hooking and interesting. Nice job mate.
You are, honestly, one of the best Fallout youtubers out there. I know you've made other content, but your calming voice, iconic background music and genuine passion for these facts and videos makes me respect you so damn much. Keep going my man!
One of??
There is no other before him.
With your videos over the years, I felt like I understood the Fallout show more than anyone else, well except for everyone else who watches your videos 😅
Fallout has so much lore it's crazy, definitely a runner-up to Skyrims lore lol
Imagine an Elder Scrolls show…
@@jamesawwyea feel like it would be hard to pull off without pissing a bunch of people off
This is supposed to be the baseline to call yourself a fan. Way too many Posers left alive nowadays. Props to you for being a real one
Man, what are the friggin odds? I watched the first two videos for the first time LAST NIGHT after they appeared in my suggestions, now part 3 drops from the friggin aether. Cool stuff.
Found the Poser
I just discovered your content two days ago and was bummed that there wasn’t a part three of the iceberg yet and now there is!. Thanks for the upload!
I always thought the “nothing is real” is a super meta joke, like Deadpool
and the note and replies are twitter or social letter(?) post. 🤣🤣🤣
Probably a 4th wall breaking joke yeah
I think it's more a reference to that scene in l4d were you find a similar scene
@@ravezon The note is figurative NPCs not realizing they are literal NPCs.
@@DJCatmom while that is true, what i meant was those replies was something people on twitter or whatever social media the people in fallout would do. Or better yet, the public toilet stall social post back when FB or X wasnt a thing yet.
I have never been so excited to have been on my phone at this exact second
I just found your channel recently as I e been replaying Fallout 3 and wanted to get back into the lore. Was sad to see no part 3 to the iceberg but now I’m incredibly happy about the timing of seeing this so soon after finishing the other two.
Excited for this. Also, I know it is a lot of work, but I love when you do long form videos like this. Great work, keep it up!
After binging every fallout video you’ve made this past week, I’m so hyped for this
Ayyy, I was just watching pt 1 and 2 last night so it’s nice to see pt 3 uploaded today! Crazy how the world works
actually love just listening to these whilst at work, think i’ve gone through your entire channel
and i haven’t been subscribed?!!! that’s changed
I literally binged part 1 and 2 yesterday and you seemingly posted this RIGHT AFTER I was on your page looking for this lol
Love these lore videos. Keep up the good work, man!
Nate has truly blessed us today with a new Mystery Iceberg video on the same date that Fallout 4 is updated after years of neglect! What a lucky day to be alive!
I just subscribed to you yesterday after watching your fallout icebergs and you upload a new one today. Lucky!
Amazing video, as always! Always interested in learning more about the lore from Fallout 1 and 2, please include those games more often!
i was just done with part 2 after discovering you, and was a bit disappointed there was still no part 3 nearly 1 year after (or more, don't even remember). glad that i only had to wait 1 day for the next part.
Very glad to have you back Nate!
Your videos are amazing and bring to light so much cool hidden lore. Keep it up!
4:37 I hadn't watched your iceberg videos until now but I just finished watching part 2 and you actually did have a bit about Dunwich in it. You teased having more in later parts but you did already start on the topic.
So happy to see the latest part! I understand it takes a lot of time to set these together but I very much enjoy them.
Also as someone who haven't played fallout 76, it's great you include their mysteries as well. This universe have a lot of interest things in them
Hell yeah just what I needed Nate!
you don’t understand how happy I am to catch a upload so early!! I love watching your videos Nate :)
You’ve got to be blowing up after the series recently🎉
With this vid, I’ve gotta go rewatch the other ice bergs and dunwich vids now
Funny coming back to your videos weeks back and now seeing new uploads. Feels like we’re in the golden age of fallout. Thanks for these!
My phone was calling out to me. Now I know why! Thanks Nate!
Perfect timing!
I've waited SO MUCH for this video 🥰
But I can only imagine how much work you must have with these. I mean, I have an LP channel and sometimes have too much on my plate to work with, imagine some more elaborate stuff like this... it makes me appreciate your content, and admire you, more tho 👉🏻👈🏻💙
Nice, thanks for putting this together! Looking forward to what is almost certainly going to be part 4! Lol
The faces aren't brutalist art, they are are a style called "art deco" that was popular in the 1920s and 1930s.
Another Fallout mystery: How has nothing ever topped New Vegas?
Biggest mystery is why people like that game so much. I think it's the worst one of 3, 4, and 76 (today, not at launch).
What a clown take😂@@ETEcco
@@Vantud391not really..the game is shit without mods according to most pc players which to me..that’s sad..and that’s coming from someone who owns the console port of the game of the year edition cause it works compared to the none game of three year given it can crash every 5 fucking mins
@@killerzombie2171I played it on pc with no mods and it was great so not sure what you mean🤣
@@ETEcco Na the biggest mystery is when are the NV fans gonna pull their firmly planted head out of their a$$es
Well Well Well, today has gotten much better!
I found the Cafe of Broken Dreams in my playthrough of Fallout 2, it was really cool!
(As a MTG semi enjoyer person) I will say that the card that was shown at 18:30 is "all creatures" including friendly creatures, which by golly really fits Fallout.
Also no worries Nate about the time it took, we all have things that cause delays, and we all appreciate these videos whenever they do come out
Wow literally discovered this series yesterday and boom part 3 today how awesome! Keep the great content comin!
Gonna be a good night now.
ITS BACK
Overdue or not, just glad to see you back Nate - your work is appreciated and quality as usual
hands down the best fallout/TES creator. cant tell you how many times i come back to all of your videos just to keep my knowledge on the lore. fallout to me is one of the most interesting worlds in all of gaming tbh and this is the best place for any and all things fallout
SPOILERS FOR FALLOUT SHOW/ i also want to mention something before i go. am i wrong, but we never really knew who dropped the bombs whether it was the us or china first in the game, right? but the show heavily insinuates that vault tech is and somehow are the ones who dropped the bombs?
Magic: the Gathering player here. Thanks for including (imo) the best tcg ever in the video. Small correction in the explanation of that card. Blasphemous Act deals 13 damage to every creature on the battlefield (including your own). The card cost 1 mana less to cast for each creature on the battlefield. Ex: If there are 8 creatures on the battlefield, this card costs a single Red mana to cast, being discounted by 1 for each of those 8 creatures.

Using the FO Magic the Gathering cards for this video was a fun, onscure idea and exactly why I love your lore videos so much!
You know Nate... I just got done watching the fallout tv show and I was content to listen to Stupendiums The House Always Wins for the next hour as I cooked dinner. Then you dropped this, I thank you as I have been in a real fallout mood lately.
