  • Fallout 4 is a game with no shortage of mystery and unexplained happenings in the Commonwealth. As a result, many Fallout 4 players have begun to propose their own theories and ideas regarding much of what goes on in the wasteland. So today we’ll be taking a look at five Fallout 4 theories that are absolutely terrifying.

      Or if whenever all 20 of them are out of the frame, only 19 would reappear when you look at them again. One will vanish every single time, and it might take you a while to notice. You would think maybe you are mistaken. But once you find out you will continue to look away and back, away and back, until one remained. And you would freak out every time so there wouldnt have to be another twist. Aside from maybe a writing on a wall that says something like "out of the screen" or "behind the player".

      Skyrim is a different Kalpa - one that arguably exists after the Fallout Universe, or before, but one of the strange anomalous creatures that changed over were the mannequins. In Skyrim, magic or daedra could be controlling them, or they're simply unknown. In Fallout? Nobody knows, but they only move when you're not looking at them.

      Skyrim would actually come after fallout 4, maybe on another planet that has elves, with probably some supermutants that mutated again, and aren't sterile somehow, and crashed on the uninhabited island of atmora. Some of the super mutants turned into behemoths, and others shrank to almost nord-size, and eventually they turned back into people as they kept breeding, and eventually we got like proto-nordic human in the land of atmora, and also a proto-giant (cuz giants in skyrim) and they eventually encountered elves, and yeah, the rest is history. They would've obviously had to start over from scratch and wouldn't have any firearms if supermutants were captured and being transported. Maybe the dwemer came and salvaged the ship, and based alot of their tech off the crashed ship. Makes sense, right?

    The Dogmeat theory has a one glaring issue: Dogmeat was part of the Quincy group. Dialogue with Mama Murphy provides proof of that. I also suspect that the dead body you find on the road to Red Rocket is his previous own. Consider this: raiders attack the group, but Dogmeat and his own were basically the recon team, range ahead of the group and use Dogmeat's nose as a detection tool. Raiders ambush the group, owner sees that they're cut off from the others, panics and flees, takes a bullet or two and gets finished by a raider attack dog. Dogmeat takes shelter in Red Rocket, your character finds him, then you go on magical adventures of friendship and mini nukes.

    If you think about it, putting mannequins everywhere is a great alarm system. Aggressive intruders might mistake them for people and shoot, alerting you to their presence. Big building, base on top floor..... it's like an alarm. And it can set them up so u just have to stand still if u wanna trick em then shoot em. It's brilliant. I'd put them everywhere too. But I think it's a nod to nuclear test sites.

    An "entity" known as Dogmeat has existed since Fallout 1 and made an appearance in every mainstream Fallout game except NV (and I had a Dogmeat mod).
    Dogmeat is an otherworldly spirit who guides heroes to their destiny. (Maybe not in NV because even though we save Vegas, our original motivation is revenge).
    While the "dog" may be different, the "spirit" is the same. 😉

    “Some dogs in the commonwealth” implies there are other dogs out there, unless he’s referring to mutant hounds or mongrels, which doesn’t seem likely, therefore dogmeat being a synth because of his un-mutated nature is a throw away point

I saw it as a depressing reminder that there are some people in the wasteland that don't have families, friends, loved ones, enemies, anything really. I always saw them in these positions as the less stable wastelanders desperately trying to humanize anything around them, so they don't feel so lonely...

    Theres already an explanation for dogmeat. He belongs to the minutemen, and someone (probably preston) sent him out to find help while they were under seige in the museum of freedom à la Lassie. You can hear Marcie Long mention something about it if you stick around long enough to hear their random dialogue.

    Dogmeat was also in fallout 3. My theory: He's an immortal being sent to help specific entities achieve certain tasks, possibly by an entity either aligned with/against Ug-Qualtoth? Considering that, in fallout 3, Dogmeat could "respawn" with the puppies perk getting stronger each time he did so. I believe that he is meant to guide important people and ensure that certain events happen, because in fallout 4 dogmeat appears outside Kellogs house whether he was your companion or not. Fate? Divine intervention? Who knows...

  • @ZeldaboyOG

    I thought Dogmeat is based off the dog from A Boy and His Dog. So it would make more sense that like that dog, Dogmeat is telepathic and intelligent. So knowing you are a Pre-War vault dweller that is uncorrupted by the wasteland then you would make the perfect companion for him.

      I was going to add that there's evidence against Dogmeat being a synth (though I'll admit it's an interesting fan theory, but still a fan theory nonetheless). If he was a synth then that would make Mama Murphy and all who are acquainted with him a synth too because they have specific dialogue about how he's such a good boy. If he truly were meant to just be a spy on the survivor, then what would be the point of having him wander around helping other folks too? The only reason I can think of is to test his functions and see how well he performs which would be a great idea, but at what cost? The amount of time and resources it would take to accomplish said task would be kinda wasteful since they only just started getting animal synths right. I found the whole animal synths thing more as a nod to "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" anyways, but I digress. I believe the synth crows/birds were the real spies. 1. They're smaller and less noticeable therefore making them less of a target. 2. Resource-wise it would make a lot of sense to mass produce such birds to spy considering they can fly, hide in plain sight, etc etc. 3. Easier to manage than sending out just regular synths hoping they don't get caught.
      Anyways, that's just one man's perspective on the matter.

    Dogmeat may be a psychopomp. Normally these entities are responsible for taking souls to the afterlife, not judging, just transportation. But psychopomps can also be guides during life transitions. And leaving a vault to a horrific wasteland is a pretty big transition from a normal suburban life. Dogmeat is also the one companion that will never leave you, no matter your decisions. It's a little creepy, but Dogmeat might just _look_ like a dog because he's in A Form You Are Comfortable With.

When you rescue them in the museum, Mama Murphy is the one who tells you his name, and goes on to say that Dogmeat brought someone to help them. He wasn't just randomly at Red Rocket or coincidentally a good boy, he was searching for someone to help the Garvey crew and was a good boy probably because of being raised by them.

      My Dogmeat theory is very simple, he is Bethesda's Fallout version of a sort of M'aiq the Liar (Elder Scrolls). Different cat ,same name. M'aiq the Liar is in all the Elder Scrolls that I've played, at least going back to Elder Scrolls Morrowind. The M'aiq the Liar you encounter in Skyrim, mentions that his father's name was M'aiq the Liar, and his father before that. The difference is that Dogmeat, no matter what, is always destined to accompany the hero, just as his ancestors did in FO3 with the Lone Wanderer and the Courier in New Vegas. In the next Fallout, one of Dogmeat's (from FO4) offspring will do the same and so on. A blood line of dogs, fated to accompany great heroes on their journeys, generation after generation.

      It’s also a bad theory, there is nothing to it at all. Woman that enters a small community has a psychic premonition because she is standing in the presence of a man who will spend his adulthood trying to kill her. She(high on chems, duh) tells him. No one believes her because...chems... and then it actually happens. The kid finds out premonitions are real and spends his life trying to have them because having them will keep him safe. What part of that necessitates being her son? Stupid theory.

    • @songbird6414
      @songbird6414 Před 3 lety

      Parnman wait i think I’m confused by your wording. It’s a theory because they have psychic premonitions, which is pretty unique in the world of fallout. Because one is an older lady and the other is a young boy, people suspect they are mother and son. There aren’t a ton of details to prove this, but honestly there aren’t a ton of details to most of the theories on the games. It makes sense to me.

At first I thought it was just her spouting one of her "Jet Lines" again seeing this and thinking about the story behind Mama murphey im beginning to think it was prestons group that send dogmeat out for help, maybe because of the attack we encounter in concord?

    Another possibility for Dogmeat:
    When leaving Sanctuary across the bridge towards Concord, the sole survivor will find a fresh corpse of a raider and mutated dog. Since the bodies are so fresh, maybe Dogmeat was with that raider who was his owner (in this hypothesis) until his untimely end. This would also explain why Dogmeat would go to Red Rocket, which is one of the closest building to the corpses.

    Actually Dogmeat is something else. Mama Murphy claims that she knows Dogmeat from his earlier days, when she was known as Murphy the Madwoman (for tearing off a raider head with her bare hands. Yeah, I don't buy that part either.). Well, Muprhys younger days was. If I go on the safe side and say that Murphy is 60, that was still about 40 years ago. According to pedigree.com, 20 years for a german shepherd is 145 years for a human. However, Dogmeat is not a synth, since he does not drop a synth component (Sturges does, despite him being essential). So what's going on with this seemingly biologically immortal hound?

    • @Skeletoriels
      @Skeletoriels Před 5 lety +31

      When Mama Murphy tells tales of unbelievable triumph, she is actually breaking the fourth wall and poking at the game mechanics. You can kill someone with your fists and have their head come off like a rock’m sock’m robot. As with her story about killing a deathclaw with nothing but a pipe pistol and one bullet, this is referencing the fact that any and all humanoid settlers can fire weapons endlessly with only one bullet in their inventory, as well as not being able to be killed by anything besides the main character. A settler can defeat a deathclaw with one bullet. As for dogmeat, He has been around forever in the fallout universe (120+ human years from F1 to F4) much like Maiq The Liar of The Elder Scrolls. Coincidentally, a cat. Maiq claims to be a descendant of the previously known Khajiit with identical names, but as he often lies and taps the fourth wall like Mama Murphy, one is left to speculate their own version of the truth.
