The Tragic Lore of Fallout’s New California Republic
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 07. 2024
- The New California Republic is perhaps the Fallout Universe's most iconic faction. With its origins in Vault 15 and Shady Sands, the NCR's history begins in Fallout 1 and has continued throughout the franchise, even past the Amazon Prime TV Show.
Today, we explore its full story. - Hry
I’ve been up for like 30 hours haha. I’ll see ya gremlins tomorrow when I wake up to check the comments 👈👈😎
Get some sleep man you deserve it!
Sleep well pookie bear
You are officially my most favorite CZcamsr, bro you make the best videos
Only 30 hours? Todd Howard stays up 45 hours a day every day. No wonder you're falling off.
I appreciate you ❤
"If the legion breaks through our defenses, I've got one bullet I'm saving just for me" - Every other NCR Trooper
We won’t go quietly. The legion can count on that
@@CallofFreaky i mean... the gunshot will make a noise lol
@@loyalistmundicomedentisdux9538 That’s such an ominous line 🥺
Better dead than a slave to the red
New Vegas was the best fallout. I'd love to see a New Vegas 2.
Considering how suicidal most of the NCR soldier were during the battle of Hoover dam, I'm surprised they survived that long
The first battle or second?
Uh i think they just don’t want to be tortured
Or the battle of Helios 1. Apparently they had a lot of casualties there, too
Well if they lost the dam there wouldn’t be an NCR anymore
@@CallofFreaky not necessarily. You do realize they still hold all of southern California at least
"Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter" -every NCR patrolman ever
even the desk workers be saying that
Well, they got their wish.
“There is no future in the Bear or Bull. The Bear is diseased, barely clings to life. And the Bull… when the Legion reaches the sea, it will turn on itself and die. Killing one will end both.”
It was so diseased...that they had to nuke it's capital to stop it.
Why people take Ulysses seriously is beyond me. He's just a dude that deals with the hurt he was dealt with by trying to justify it somehow...and the way he chooses is bullshit.
“Bear Bull Bear Bull Bear Bull Bear Bull” suck my Anti-Material Rifle Ulysses. I ain’t listening to all that
@@James-thefogiscomingwait a second he’s definitely onto something don’t do that 😭
@@danlaskey6743 let em cook lmao
Ulysses is a self important narcissistic blowhard. I literally just finished NV, including Lonesome Road. Ulysses literally just saw us delivering a package and created a huge fanfic backstory in his head about us from just that one act. Then created a huge elaborate scheme to nuke the enemy of the clan that destroyed his own family. You think he would want to destroy the Legion, but nope. We're only given that option at the end once we deal with Ulysses.
using phrases like " records on the subject are murky, all we know is that there's a second Battle of Hoover dam" etc. It's just really great because it keeps the immersion going and makes it feel like you're watching a documentary while still keeping the ambiguous player chosen stuff about the lore up to the viewer of the video / player. It's a really creative and stylish way of writing that I always look forward two for these videos. Keep up the great work, looking forward to more :)
I need to make this clear, this is by far the best fallout lore video ever made. I truly believe this, you really outdone yourself Nate. Telling it like it’s actual history is perfect and the editing is perfect. I hope to see more videos like this. Keep up the great work.
Really? I found this one was riddled with mistakes and one of his worst I've seen in awhile.
Bro is makin movies now, the videos were long but the intro and whole animation style is absolutely amazing, props
I recently played Fallouts 1 and 2 for the first time and they really enhance New Vegas. It's one thing to know the lore of the NCR but it's another thing to be in Shady Sands and in the other settlements and see how the future nation grew little by little. It's pretty surreal that the NCR arose from an isolated farming community and settlements like Junktown, The Hub and the LA Boneyard which had all of these internal problems but were able to overcome them
Uniting LA should be seen as a miracle
Vault 15, home of the NCR
My man. I have played all numbered Fallout games as they came out. New Vegas enhances the entire series.
Man good time. When the show had it nuked I was sad. I helped the town grow into the ncr. Made it longer than most apocalypse civilizations.
Always an impressive achievement given how miserable the first 2 games were to actually play, even by the standards of their time.
Kimball showing us once again what is so prevalent through history and fiction: Great military leaders don't necessarily make for good statesmen.
Not sure NCR education will cover how much of the pre-war history. If not, let's just say that much of its voter base could be easily manipulated by political campaigns.
Skyrim Legion:
Then there's Karl Franz, Prince and Emperor. We ignore End Times
Also Napoleon, but he had help from other people
@@Brother_O4TS Yes but that's why we remember them. They were exceptions, not the norm.
One head may be struck down, but the other will bite and fight until the end. The NCR shall not fade quietly into the night.
The NCR is quite literally just like the United States, too big to fall even if a single city is destroyed, if DC is destroyed for example there is still government and command structure elsewhere. The sign also says the FIRST capital of the NCR implying after New Vegas it was moved, possibly to a bigger city
@@Ranger_Brutus
This is some NeoCon level coping ngl. The whole point of the NCR is that they are a corrupt state repeating the mistakes of the former US. Too big to fall? Nothing is too big to fall.
hell yeah, we will not fall quietly. NCR for life.
We'll always have something the Legion doesn't. Super cool ranger armor
@@Ranger_Brutus Not really in how the wasteland is, the reason why most of the massive empires before travel got faster collapsed was due to lack of the ability to effectively enforce the capitals rule. The US has the benefit on not existing in that era and not getting massive till about the invention of the telegraph.
Fantastically done. The allegory of American politics, is laid out as simply as anyone could ask, and a modestly excellent primer for the Fallout show season 2. Excellent. I'm proud of your work here, and thankful for the many hours of free Skyrim and Fallout lore content that preceded it. Keeping myself and other's thinking of our favourite fantasy on lonely nights, and revealing secrets otherwise not connected. It may be a bit much, but truly a magnum so far.
ITS NATE HES FUCKEN BACK LETS GOOOO
Wow I’ve been looking everyday for a new video and it’s finally here! And a banger as always🙏🏼
Thanks for giving me something to listen to at work!!!! Love the videos!!!
Your videos are usually great but this one felt like you turned things up to 11!
The intro in particular was very cool and felt well polished ❤
Let’s all give Nate a huge round of applause for the amazing performance over these great couple of years! Thanks so much for all of the great content and entertainment! 🎉
All the jet in fallout couldn’t keep me up for 30 hours. You’re a dedicated artist.
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish a new TheEpicNate video.
This is not meant to be a hate comment this is meant to be a parody of the meme "patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter".
I can't tell if this is a hate comment or not
This comment needs further editing to be read more clearly.
Idk this comment seems insanely hateful.
I liked/appreciated it.
What's up guys! It's your boy! Here to day to talk to you about how this is a historic comment! Ready to tell you FUTURE historians that THIS comment and comment responses is a TOTALLY.. ABSOLUTE PRODUCT OF ITS TIME.....
Been waiting for a video like this after the show ! Great job Nate thanks for staying up bro !
This was so interesting to watch! Loved how you explored fallout lore.
damn man you been putting in work on these recent videos. loving the hustle but dont burn yourself out bro!
Dude this video quality is insanely good, keep up the work nate, cannot wait to see what you come up with in the future!
Oh, man! Nate put up something new so now I have to watch this... thanks a bunch!!!
Well done Nate. This is awesome. I love deep lore dives like this. Great work by everyone 👍👍
YEAHH BOI damn dude your production quality has gone crazy great job
so glad you made a vid like this i’ve been needing a full ncr docuvid to show my friends who’ve never played fallout why the show had me genuinely tweaking
Thank you so much! Been waiting all week
Thank you for all your hard work Nate .
Somehow, this video seems particularly timely considering the state of things in a certain location.
Honestly, just considering the state of things in general
Is something going on in California?
@@yurizacharov9236 Sadly, there always is.
Right as I get off work, this is amazing.
Another day another banger fallout video from Nate!
Loved that so very much great work Nate
Great to see you upload again Nate. Hope all is well.
It is always a good day when a new video comes out on nates channel
“I’ve got one bullet I’m saving just for me”
An excellent video, well done!
The courier had something to say about the whole Hoover Dam situation. And what he did, who knows.
I suspect we'll find out in S2 of the fallout show. But hey, that's just a theory. A game theory!
@@Miss_TrilliumYou get a downvote for making a MatPat reference. No favors for that plagiarist and hack.
The cannon ending to the battle of Hoover Damn is that the sierra madre’s cloud engulfed both it and new Vegas after the tunnel era began burrowing into them leading to the city and damn being abandoned
@@CloakofAuronWhat did MatPat do?
@@CloakofAuron bruh is seething over a reference to a children's slop creator💀
It's a good day any day Epic Nate drops a vid. Much love and appreciation my guy.
New fallout lore video to fall asleep to on a Friday? Is it Christmas already🤩
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing. Great work.💯👍👍
Doing this in the context of a historical documentary is just perfect.
Learning more about President Kimball makes me feel not so bad for murdering him in so many playthroughs tbh lmao
Holy crap, man. This video is on another level. Well done.
I love your videos, so calming
Hey Nate it’s guys here. Love receiving new videos from you 👍
I needed this right now ! Thank you
Long time fan of your Elder Scrolls work ☺and just barely got into Fallout 😊I love listening to your videos, because you can tell how much work you put into them!
my man. thanks for uploading me and my friends were just talking about your vids a while ago
Perfect to listen to while I work away, thanks again Nate.
Great job
Brilliant work!
THE NCR FLAG WILL NEVER FALL ‼️‼️‼️
Internal corruption will eventually cause it to fall
@@Imperial.Soldier what corruption? The Brahmin barons??
@@LewisB3217Bruh
Aaand the cucks are going wild with the terrible TV series hype!
The Brahmin barons Regaining power is due to people, losing faith in the NCR due to the corruption and its failing currency system. Go play through new Vegas and listen to the political discussions
Thank you for what you do, Nate. 🖖
Man this video is great!!
Great video!
I appreciate this one nate
...and when humanity needed him most, Nate returned.
I always love seeing a new nate video!
I AM EXCITE! How is it that like 10 years later I am still learning and loving these?
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish you save one bullet just for yourself, you can count on that
Absolutely brilliant work Nate. Insane how the views aren’t at least 4x higher
That felt like the longest 6 days ever😂 Love the content
This really helped clear up a few things for me, specifically why the NCR cared so desperately about gold mining in Redding in Fallout 2. I know there's a whole campaign in Redding, and that the NCR wanted access to the mines but I didn't internalize that NCR had moved to the gold standard.
yay new video this day just got a whole lot better
And now they make self checkout machines at Walmart. Woooow.
Criminally underrated comment here
In my country theres macchines like that since a lot of years
I love your videos so much.
That was fantastic, Nate! The later portions could use some editing- I know you probably can't show stuff from the Amazon show, but during the portions explaining the events of the show, having some B-roll footage instead of just the Caesar throne would probably help a little- I honestly thought the video on my tablet was fouled up for some reason. But the research here, the enormous amount of detail and the obvious love for the material... edits aside, this is probably the best video you've done yet. Loved every minute, thank you!
Nate sometimes confuses east and west when referring to directions here, but given he also includes physical locations on a map, it's fine! A minor error in an otherwise excellent summary of the faction's history so far.
Thank you for this cohesive history lesson...now it all makes sense 😉☺️👍!
Whenever he post a vid you know it's a good day
The music from the intro is " The West Will Never Fall " from Kaiser Cat Cinema. Located at the link listed for any of those interested in the song.

Nate, Nate never changes. Always top tier content!
Great video
You should do a Brotherhood of Steel video like this one! Love it!
From the game FNV itself tells us about the NCR, it was not doing good back home, to the point the NCR losing at Hoover Dam would in my opinion do the NCR more good in the long run then a victory.
I love how this video is exactly 1:13:23 and not a second longer.
That was the perfect time to stop the video, good call Nate. 👏
I think you meant to say 2150s instead of 2050s when referencing the master and what he did
just asked the sane question.
“Wait guys, I have a question, I kmow that the Master was alive before the great war (2077) but how did he “began mustering an army of these creatures in late 50’s” if Richard Moreau (Master) left his vault in 2092 (When the Vault opened in 2092) Is he meaning 50’s like 2150? Because this would make sense “the Master transferred his command, along with his immense and pervasive body, to the vault.” Thank you for responses in advance. 😊”
Got a 12 hour shift at work and i find this gem to pass the first hour 20 of the shift.
This has been a fantastic year for Nate vids
i feel like i havent seen nate in forever. i was just thinking ab this channel the other night and thinking ab how much i missed watching
YYESS. THANK YOU. i can now sleep soundly again
Okay, that intro was badass
Patrolling the youtube recommended almost makes you wish for an EpicNate history video.
Great video, honestly, I can tell you really put a lot of work into various aspects, but...
Some constructive criticisms that I'll probably get some shit for, lol:
You mixed up "2050's" with "2150's" multiple times early on when discussing Fallout 1 and the Master.
Also, I am almost 100% certain that House didn't know the day the bombs would drop. It was just bad timing/bad luck that the Platinum Chip was due to arrive on October 24th and the bombs hit on the 23rd. House didn't know the bombs would drop on the 23rd; he did know they would inevitably be coming sooner rather than later though. If he did know, I don't think he'd have risked the Platinum Chip arriving anywhere near the 23rd. That'd be incredibly out-of-character for him. He was as blindsided as most everyone else.
Also, more than "a bomb or two" made it through House's defenses. Even a cursory Google search can confirm it was 9 warheads. This is easily accessible information that I'm a little surprised you didn't do your homework on. I've noticed details like this get glossed over in some of your videos, but, this is a very easy one to check, unless you deliberately kept it vague as part of the storytelling.
House was also in a coma for several decades after the Great War and not necessarily spending all 200 years combing the wasteland for the Platinum Chip as implied in the video around 1:00:00.
I imagine the higher-than-normal amount of dislikes is over missed details like this. I think the script for this video needed another pass through. The last ten minutes consisting of a few mostly static images also makes it feel like the ending/script was rushed to hit a deadline.
Also, the NCR may still exist minus Shady Sands. I think jumping to the conclusion that they're totally wiped out is a tad premature?
I know it's nearly an hour and a half, but, quality and all that. Despite the length of this comment, trust me, you did well.
There's also a few incidents of east/west being mixed up, but, that's more minor to me than the other stuff.
Just some notes I'm making as I listen. Good video otherwise, I know it's quite the endeavor and I don't mean this as hate.
EpicNate dropped a feature length NCR video. Didn't know I was getting wrecked tonight.
"That's a story for another day..." Makes me nostalgic.
This gonna be a banger
WOOHOO new nate video to fall asleep too 🙏🙏 AND it's on my favorite fallout faction let's goooo
Top class video.
Nate your awesome truly one of the best Bethesda/fallout CZcamsrs
Damn, here real early. Nice.
i didnt know u left but lets goooo
This is the GOAT 🐐 of Fallout Channels and Nate is Epic 🤘🏻😂
Thanks for taking the time to break down such a lengthy subject! I wish this video existed back when the show came out for the new fans 😅 but it's here now, and you all did a great job
can you post a mod list on what your using for visual mods? I love the way your game shots look. I wanna do a run with these visuals.
and I mean the stuff you used for New Vegas shots, I'm trying to clean up New Vegas visually
Awesome work man. Appreciate the work you put into these videos.
I love your content
ncr ending in new Vegas seems to be more cannon bc the extinction of the bos nevada and the preservation of the bombers makes sense for a war against mr house, but so does caesars legion
I just shouted outside my building window in NYC "TheEpicNate dropped another video!", and someone responded with "Fallout or Skyrim?!"
