    2:00 as a North Shore local, it's delightful that Lynn Woods is as sketchy as it's real life counterpart, though i wish they had somehow included the Pirates Cave as an explorable spot in the woods.
    for those who don't know: in Lynn Woods there's a hill with a cave at the top, which spirals down into the Earth until you hit water. allegedly it keeps going down, but you need diving equipment. every so often the park opens up the metal gate so visitors can explore themselves.

    Instead of Hangman's Ally being a settlement, it should of been the Diamond City parking lot with all the trashed cars and where the wild dogs attack, building a base there would also feel more cozy because it feels like you're reinforcing DC's defensive perimeter, it's convenient and it sure as heck would beat homeplate, plus there's a ramp to a hollowed out building right inside the area.
    Head cannon-wise it would make a excellent [Chosen Faction] embassy.
    Dean's Electronics would also be a great hideout have.

      I think it would make sense for Diamond City to expand beyond the stadium. Making it so that the player is responsible for the expansion could have been an interesting way to implement it. I agree with your choice of area, as it is reasonably close to the city gate.

  • @NorseGraphic
    @NorseGraphic Před 8 měsíci +42

    Hmmm, one thing that would be interesting would be "control of surrounding area" of the settlements. The bigger the settlements (the more settlers you have, not necessarily the square-meters), the bigger the control of the land around. This should affect spawns of raiders, deathclaws, mirelurks etc. in such a way that you basically 'tame' the Commonwealth. The end-game should be to have 100% control of all areas west of Charles River, for example. With control-posts on all bridges and a long wall south of Boston with Murkwater Construction-site as the 'gate-way' to the south (maybe add two settler-locations, one on the railroad-tracks east of Murkwater, and the other at the road south of Quincy). Every other place inside this area could then be refurbished through the settlement-mechanic in such a way that it makes sense settlers wants to live there.

      Combine both increasing upkeep requirements and a tech level (can't just plop down that Vault-Tec Reactor in a new settlement) and you have a ton of ideas for Fallout 5+. I wish these were true but frankly, this would break the game. I have a ton of improvements that will help but it will depend on the theme and setting of Fallout 5.
      I'd also really like assigning settlers to clear bushes and shrubs as a task rather than using mods that give WAAAY too much scrap.

    @DemonMankeyMan Před 8 měsíci +20

    Bit of a random one but:
    The big carpark by longneck Lukowski cannery always struck me as a pretty nice spot for a settlement.
    You have some intact structure with innate shelter and elevated points for turret emplacements. There is a little bit of standing water in the underground section, and with the floors there is plenty of flat building space.
    Could easily see it as a commonwealth style gated community and trade hub between the slog/finch farm and the Nahant/Kingsport area.
    That or a nicely fortifiable military post for the minutemen.

      It's strange such a large beach area is within the boundary but has essentially nothing in it. I expected to encounter a secret or at least an easter egg considering how out of the way it is. I wonder if it was originally planned to be a settlement that could connect to the ones in Far Harbor and that idea was scrapped at some point.

    1. One less loading screen: my area is part of the diamond city area, as opposed to going into the current player home area.
    2. I can flex on the other DC inhabitants and show them how to build a proper house instead of a shitty little shack.
    3. Via settler beacon, I can have my own settlers as room mates, assign them to shops, and even rival the other DC merchants.

    My favourite base with conquest was to build over water. I built by the poseidon reservoir.
    Starting with a bridge between each side of the water, I had a wonderful base to build on top of that bridge... And just spent ages building, and building, and building... Till eventually I'd roofed over the sky, had thousands of rockets and a massive lag spike whenever the brotherhood flew by followed by a lot of explosions. Good times.

    VIDEO IDEA: Look into potential improvements and uses with the Vault 88 DLC. Like.... some of this. In any order, just numbering it so it's easier to read.
    1: What better experiments could've been done and their impact on the Vault-Tec questline - and the overseer and the rest of the game?
    2: How could the layout have been done better? How would you build it?
    3: What could be the best uses for each of the 4 factions? Up to 5 ideas per faction.
    4: Could Vault 88 have been placed at a better location? Maybe the underwater vault that got cut? How would that be accessible? Top hatch like Vault 111, or a tunnel or train access from the mainland, or a ferry to a platform?
    That's about all I can think of right now, but if you do this video - or other people want to reply with more ideas, feel free to add freely.

    If we're dreaming of adding more settlements in some hypothetical remaster for next gen, I think maybe we could also try add extra factions the player can be part of. Let your character become a Gunner, Child of Atom, or non-Nuka Raider (Maybe help a gunner team out somewhere and the captain tries to recruit you, you run into a preacher, or help the concord raiders instead :D ) and access some different settlements as a result. Atom allowing for some in the glowing sea, gunners letting you workshop some of their bases, raiders.... having a less crap system than Nuka World.

    I'm gonna be different and propose an interior/exterior settlement. D.B. Technical School to be exact. Obviously there's limited space to build anything substantial, but if we're somehow allowed to build on the exterior as well I'd think it'd be decent. The pool in the basement could be used for either water or another tarberry farm. Another thing that'd have to be done is repairs, in my mind I'm seeing a quest (perhaps misc) to fund repairs for the floors. Concrete, steel, wood, caps, just whatever would make sense

    I throw in my two cents here and its a weird set. And I know he briefly mentioned his opinion about the glowing sea but I've always liked the idea of making the Capsized factory in the Glowing Sea a Settlement, although a cramped one. Despite being almost entirely buried, the building itself is in remarkable shape and is mostly closed off from the outside aside from two entrances that would easy to defend against and provide a somewhat believable reason why people living there wouldn't be in as much danger of radiation. There is dirt inside of the factory, allowing for a small indoor garden if we can clean up the desks and rubble.
    I can see a cool 6 or so survivors living here, albeit not super comfortably. Possibly more if a creative player used the verticality and squeeze in more by creating a second floor.
    This place would also make a for an amazing hideout for just about anyone with the resources to survive the radiation, taking a page from Brian Virgil. I can easily see the Railroad setting it up because who would think anyone setting up in the Glowing Sea like that? Even if they did, the fact that most of the building is buried means it'll be hard to find, especially so if one tries to locate from the air like on a vertibird.
    Its admittedly unrealistic and more than a bit silly, but it seems like a fun challenge.

    One place i spent so much time building at was Concord using a mod that adds a workshop there. The town has many empty buildings including a bar where you can add sleeping space up top in the rooms, the main stretch in front of the museum of freedom has plenty of room to add a market, and to the left of the museum is a huge field to grow crops in. Plus the mod’s build ceiling allowed you to build on the roof of the museum so I added additional food plots. It was a really great settlement idea and a true town.

    I haven't seen on the Charles View Amphitheater yet but I think that one would have been perfect as a way to link Hangman's Alley to Bunker Hill without risking the loss of provisioners. Plus it would help control gunner and raider operations near the river. And there's an associated questline already which means completion of that quest(s) would easily help free up the space. And it needn't be very large to accommodate, just the rough area that would trigger site discovery.

    Include the external areas out to the fence at least and you have room for turrets, more crops. You can build on the flat roof too.

    There are many locations that should've been settlements instead of the ones we got in the vanilla game. I've recommended West Everett Estate in the past and now it's time to recommend another new location. Here goes nothing:
    The location I recommend is Southwest Harbor. Sure it's not the most spectacular location for a settlement but here me out on this one. Whenever you play the Far Harbor DLC, you need to go to Acadia and while there, you meet a synth named Faraday, who would want you to retrieve drives from Southwest Harbor. It's basically the Sanctuary Hills of Maine and for very good reasons. There are work stations within the vicinity and the building across the street from the diner would've been a perfect location for a workshop. The buildings are well fortified and sure you have to clear Trappers first but it will be worth it considering everything the location has to offer. It also has a water supply which you can build a purifier and there should've been terminals you could've used to hack the turrets in your favor while building new ones on the opposite side. Not to mention Far Harbor didn't have very many settlements on its own and I feel that this place was a missed opportunity to become one.

    accounting for my mods, honestly I wouldn't mind being able to take over the parking garage coming into Lexington, the main reason is I just like the idea of turning pre-war ruins into settlements over having a couple buildings to work with and then a lot of empty space and for a story reason it could have been the middle point of the early minutemen story where you do what they tried and actually manage to take a solid foothold in Lexington which then prompts Preston to promote you to General

      @SaidNoGaming Před 8 měsíci +1

      While i think Fallout 76 is ok, I think it absolutly ruined the settlement system. This is because multiplayer, so no settlers. Sure the workshops in FO76 might have uniqe gimmicks, which I have not experienced first hand, there are uniqe gimmicks for seetlements in FO4, or at least it's possible to code some into the game. Either way, if you enjoyed the settlement system from FO76, at least it's theoreticaly possible to mod it into FO4

      Did, not does. Oxhorn stopped all activity with Fallout 4 when Fallout 76 became available. I think he played FO 76 in the Beta version. He videoed his builds and explained how he put things together and why he did it that way. His FO 4 videos were pretty well researched and very informative. He was also big into the FO 4 game lore. He was doing all that when most CZcamsrs were making best start and gameplay videos. I was a fan until he left us for FO 76. I watched a few of those then left him to do his thing.@@justincooper5189

In a way I still love them, but I'd rather watch good fallout content all day instead of actually playing the games with 1000+ mods. My time playing Fallout is definitely over, but I still like going back like once or twice a year to check on my save to mess around for like 20 minutes before I want to die.

    I legit hated the Settlement system. There was nothing that killed the fun and mystery of a new location quicker then finding a red work bench.
    At most there should have been 4-8 settlements with the rest of the locations being like Arefu in FO3, a small location with unique NPC's.

  • @SaidNoGaming

    I Hope i get hit in the head (or something) and lose my memories of this series specifically so that I get to rewatch it without knowing what the locations you’re going to suggest. I absolutely love talking about what locations could’ve been settlements idk why tbh.
    I think you should make a video for the other 3D fallout games going over locations that could’ve been settlements if there was settlement building in the other games (ignoring public workshops in fallout 76)
    I still think you should go over every location in fallout (including unmarked and not on Fandom) and say whether it would’ve been a good settlement (ignoring any nearby pre-existing settlements)
    I think you should make a series where you go through every settlements and try to do a scrappy astethic for all of them (like using pre-existing buildings and having few buildings for example)

      I hear ya. I got my BS in Computer Science in 1976 when it was still relatively new. I was in the original Computer Science class before it qualified as a Major at Ol' Miss. The stuff they write programs with these days wasn't even dreamed up back then. Needless to say, my programming skills are so out of date it is pathetic. Those were days when I left my slide rule at home in favor of my brand new handheld $65 calculator that could only add, subtract, multiply, and divide. I was programming in Machine Language, Basic, Fortran 4, and Cobol. I doubt they even give those languages a mention in todays computer classes. The university's main frame computer took up a large air conditioned room and it's basic memory unit was the size of a fridge and had 64K bits. You could open it up and actually see the individual bits. Today they deal with memory units in Gigs if not larger, on printed microcircuits, if not something newer that I know nothing about. I was manipulating ones and zeros while today they manipulate entire procedures with one line of code. I had to submit my code on a stack of punched cards to the Computer Room to get a printout the next day. For my senior project I coded a simulation of the core utilization of the Main Frame Computer. I got 4 hours of A in that class and a synopsis of my program was printed in the regional Computer magazine. I was a pretty good programmer back then. These days I have to get a grandkid to help me set up my phone.
      PS When I bought that $65 calculator my military income was letting me come home with about $250 per month and I was making $180 per month house payments on a 3 bedroom brick home on 1/3 acre with a 30 year mortgage at 8.25% interest. I think minimum wage was about $1.80-$2.00 an hour. I was 28 years old with a wife, a 2 year old, and another kid on the way.
      Sorry, I didn't mean to tell my life story but I got carried away talking about coding. Oh, well. I am 75 almost 76 years old with a bad heart condition and on my last Dr visit I was told I had spots (pre-cancerous) on both lungs. I really don't care anymore.

  • @woodysmith2681
    @woodysmith2681 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Overall, I like these videos but I approach them from a programming angle and some of them just don't line up well with ceilings, boundaries, etc. For example, you'd be unable to have a ceiling so high on Lynn Woods to encompass the top of the tower, or otherwise you'd get a settlement area as large as Starlight but with more encounter areas around it. That's the problem with Fiddler's: too large a base area.
    Lorewise, Lynn Woods would have been good, but Lynn Woods is more East than North, as far as difficulty. Your routes there are guarded by Mirelurk Queen to the west, Super Mutants at Breakheart Banks to the south, and triggered deathclaw and radscorpion encounters to the east.
    Lake Cochituate next to Natick, like Lake Quannapowitt and Dark Hollow Pond, is a radioactive material dumping ground. The Roadside Pines Motel would have been better, or maybe switching Egrets Marina for Electronic Hobbyists Club.
    I have no clue why anyone thinks settlers would head into the Glowing Sea to an underground bunker with no lights.
    I did like Hubologists' Camp but I think there's a Lore-based reason against it: if you completed their quest, got the Settlement, could you run supply lines from Minutemen-run settlements past the giant Raider base without issues? You'd have to lock the settlement like the Red Rocket in Nukaworld was locked.

    I'm of the opinion that the more militant factions should've eventually started having presence and outposts at various defensible locations and it was rather annoying to me that only the BoS did this and even then it only did it in the 2 scripted locations. Like I feel like max relationship with the BoS/minutemen or the alliance between the two and "full presence" should've entailed multiple military sites and checkpoints getting fortified by these factions which would then project areas of control which reduce spawnrate of hostile mobs. Would've given a greater feeling of progression and success in stabilising the Commonwealth. K-21 being an example of such an outpost.
    I'm also of the opinion that the Red Rocket settlement right next to Concord/Sanctuary should also have just become a military outpost defending Sanctuary because proximity wise it makes very little sense to be its own independent settlement. Would make far more sense as essentially the garrison for settlers in Sanctuary who are supplied by that same community and project power over that entire area.
    As for locations of settlements. I always thought Libertalia would've been a good one because lore-wise it was run by ex-Minutemen who originally stayed true to the cause and if Todd had let us RP properly they could've possibly been returned to the fold. The idea behind that being a settlement is that everything is prefab but could be turned into another military outpost type deal designed to project power as well as 'connect' Croup Manor to Nordhagen Beach.

    I mean...does anyone give two shites about Hangman's Ally, really? Or is it just a stopover?
    ALOT of the Settlement locations should have been made to be prefabs that get built after a few days...IMO.

      I think is an absolutely horrible take. Its not a gimmik, but a rather significant gameplay feature. And its basically mandatory in survival. Settlements are very useful for resources, making money, saving, roleplay. Not to mention you need them to craft important stuff. My guess is that you don't play survival at all and just fast travel everywhere. Settlements become a lot more valuable in survival.

      With the settlement system I feel Bethesda wasn't expecting it to be as popular a thing as it turned out to be and it was only late in development that they discovered it via their testers and pre-release hype. That would explain why the vanilla settlement system is somewhat barebones and really requires the dlcs if a player is going to do any real settlement building.
