    Thank you for including the real history of Spectacle Island and George's story. As someone not from the US, when playing FO4 for the first time I was vaguely aware that the Railroad faction was supposed to mirror the real-life counterpart, and it got me into reading about the history of the Underground Railroad.
    I hope no one thinks I'm trivialising it, but now when building settlements that involve escaped/freed synths, I add other nods to it. A bar called The Drinkin' Gourd, a hotel called the Waystation Inn etc... It may seem silly but whenever I see those signs it prods me to be reminded of the deeper history. Now when I build on Spectacle Island, I'll build something as a nod to George, so I'll remember his story each time, too.

    Imagine the POV of a character who is trapped on the island during the events of fallout 4, after years of isolation you see a mirelurk queen (possibly the one you drove from the island) rise from the sea and attack the castle. Then a few days later you see a blimp fly over Boston and dock at the airport, and finally you must be going crazy because you see a 200 foot tall robot walk across the city and launch nuclear bombs like a football.

    I've really loved this series! As someone who makes games as a hobby it's cool to see how in-depth (or lacking) locations can be in different RPG games. Do you think it's good design to have a location you could just play the entire game on as a serious playthrough or challenge mode?

    • @Joov
      @Joov  Před rokem +50

      That's tough to answer. I don't know much about "game design" per se, but what I love about certain open world games is when they prioritize the story that the player is trying to tell, rather than the story the game is trying to tell the player (think minecraft, skyrim, FO4 etc.) That's not to say one is better than the other, just my personal preference.

    • @derflerp538
      @derflerp538 Před rokem +3

      I think having a place like that is best when it's incidental, rather than a deliberate choice. If your game is content-rich and polished enough, there's a decent chance you'll end up with an area or two like that just as a by-product of developing the game as a whole.
      That said, I'm only just recently involved in any kind of game design, and just the art side of things so far, so consider that an unprofessional opinion. You know your games better than anyone else, and at the end of the day, your judgement is best.

    Really enjoyed the history lesson at the end. I don't play Fallout (in fact, watching your channel is the most Fallout exposure I've had in years) so this is my first time learning about those in-game historical lessons, and I think you're doing a huge service by shedding light on George's story. Cheers!!

    After being there for The Great Idiot Savant Proc of 2023, I was fully expecting to see the entire thing condensed into a musical montage so the main channel viewers could suffer along with us.
    Another great video as always, Joov! And I appreciated the history lesson as well. Who knew edutainment was in the stars for you? The fact that you went out of your way to make that call is incredible. The dedication to your craft is why you're one of the good ones. Keep it up! :D

    Can you make your content inclusive by formatting the auto captioning into closed captioning please? it is extremely hard to watch it relying only on the auto captioning sadly (I'm Profoundly Deaf)

    I keep seeing your videos get recommended to me and usually I never choose to watch because I’m like I don’t understand how it works. But I decided to put it on to have something in the background while I go to sleep but accidentally watched the full video. I love history and now realize why YT recommended this video of yours. Great job! Looking forward to more.

    That was one heck of a narrative at the end. I never previously knew any of the history of Spectacle Island, and your narration of "George" was very eloquent and moving. Thanks for that.

      Thanks for the kind words. It wasn't an easy subject to cover given the material being dark, but when I started finding nationally archived documents corroborating the entire story I felt compelled to tell as much as I could as best as I could. It's certainly something I'm not too used to, but I took great joy in sharing an important piece of Boston/American history.

    I turned Spectacle Island into Deathclaw Island in one of my play throughs. I find it cool to have an island full of survivors coexisting with a bunch of different deathclaws and to see them fighting side by side when the island gets attacked.

    this video is too good. fun and entertaining. specially liked the end, when you remarked that not every fallout fan is from the usa, so the connection between the Railroad from the game and some real railroad (i had never heard about even though we have some amount of USA history in schools here) is very much missable if you're not familiar with them

  • @MadGameBoy
    @MadGameBoy Před rokem +3

    If I remember correctly only metal boxes & tool cabinets made by the player can have loot pools, everything else is treated as a player stash
    This is entirely accidental mind you, as ALL player created stashes are supposed to have zero loot pools, as the function for them is that players would use them to stash their own loot at their player created bases.
    Loot pools delete items that were left inside looted or unlooted chests, as when it respawns it essentially replaces the existing list of items inside with a new randomly generated list of items
    So you can see how players would be pissed off if you placed your loot in a chest and then have it all vanish to be replaced by some glue & a desk fan a few days later. That's why players are reccomended to delete existing chests and replace them with your own.
    For some god damn reason, they didnt apply this to player created metal crates or tool cabinets (wall or floor mounted)
    That's why your coolers, wooden boxes & red tool boxes wouldnt spawn anything but the others did. They werent meant to
    This small oversight is a bane to most players who mistakingly use these items in their bases, but in your case, it is helpful to make your own loot pools
