@@porkymonk9065 they definitely have problems of theirs rebuilding China at the best case, rather then travel across the globe fighting people who were once enemies of theirs ancestors, who had suffered the consequences of the war most likely as hard as chinese had.

That what you said about not being able to tell him that you are over 200 years old is a real shame, it is an unique situation only in fallout 4 and it should have been used more.
totally agree, i was far more interested after the opening story about the implications of being a pre-war human than i was interested in saving my son..
i'm sorry, i find it really difficult to give a damn about a character that didn't have a character at the start of the game. if they made the kid say 10-13 years old and have a few voicelines i'd have been far more inclined to saving him
Bart De Bock I agree totally
Yeah, that'd be cool, like if I was in the sole survivors feet, the first thing I'd tell Cpt. is that I served in the army before the war and was put into cryogenic storage.
Someone should make a mod on this.

I've always helped Zao. This is a man broken by time and the weight of his actions and made to endure a hell of watching his crew and friends turn into unrecognizable creatures. All he wants to do is return home, help with whatever restoration efforts there might be, or just die somewhere familiar.

Dang, now I feel bad. I clicked on the Chinese commie option, so I didn't even hesitate to send him to the Chinese version of Valhalla. I'm too long into the main game now to redo this mission, which I found by pure curiosity. I was looking for islands or boats to glide near the marina with the power armor & I landed on the sub first, before I even saw & talked the npc kid on the harbor. 🥸

But undeniably that is still an American pretending to sound like a native. Very few if any bilingual person would mix words from different languages in the way he does it. Not to mention the voice actor gets quite some tones wrong as well. I'd much prefer English with rich Chinese accent (as commonly heard even among modern PLAN officers/combatants) over half-baked iterations of simple Chinese phrases.

I want to throw him into the harbor
YEP AND SEAN BEAN WAS GOOD IN OBLIVION
23:00 to be honest, the fact that the event 260+ years ago makes it make a ton of sense when you attack Zao since you watched "what feels like last month" take place right in front of you. Zao had all that time to sit in his little hull and mull over what happened and process it.
200 years, think of everything that happened Fallout 1, 2, 3 etc. months of travelling in the wasteland, weeks in a suspension tank, exploring new sttlements... ALL this time this guy has been in this room in his submarine, with nothing else to do than peek through that periscope. Just how has he managed to retain his sanity and not turn batshit crazy or at least leave the submarine is beyond me.
I deeply respect him because of this. and he managed to maintain his military bearing and honor through all of that.
He Really Loved His Submarine That's How...
Probably a gamer
Deat87 He can’t even talk frequently after 200 years solitude
And the main character was just sleeping.
I always hate that you can't tell people that you are over 200 year old and tell the stories before the war
Its_Me_Romano _ yes I will vote for you in the next election
Its_Me_Romano _ it would have made so much sense to tell him that especially, since he's a big part of the war... maybe it would make him hostile, or maybe it would make you break down and new dialogue options come of it, etc. I don't know. But, yet again, a wasted opportunity.
You can tell the baseball guy stories but he just gets passive aggressive
Mr Critical it is really entertaining when your character calls him a dumbass though 😅
Ya
Even through the guilt of nuking a nation, of razing it of all life and structures, and the loneliness with being sealed in the dub with no one but semisentient zombies who were once his family, he still has pride in his nation, and wishes to atone for his nation. All while still looking for the hope that he can one day complete this task. Zao is what every captain should be. Willing to fight for his pride but also always hoping to find other ways to solve a problem. Even with his history he was only following orders and doing what he thought was necessary for his people. I have the deepest respect for zao even if he isn't real.
The interior of the sub was super disappointing, but "I leave the fire here" is one of the most underrated lines in the entire Fallout franchise.
He becomes the sole survivor of China. Imagine a Chinese version of Preston

Was surprised when the kid says “shit” lol
Pretty bold statement from the Sole Survivor to say sea monsters aren't real when he/she was frozen for 200 years during a nuclear apocalypse, only to come out from a vault into a world where deathclaws exist.
Jared W Also- Mirelurk Queens
Yeah, and also we see the bodies of carnivorous whale things and there are plenty of other rumors of bigger things out there too.
Jared W deathclaws were created before the war
200 years of radiation helped them become even more efficient killers though
Sammy B Where exactly?
Zao: DON'T PUT THE WARHEAD IN OR YOU"LL DOOM US!
Me: *quicksave then put the warhead in*
I mean I did it😆
17:21 "Do not put warhead in first"
17:34 "Now I tried many times to put the warhead in first."
The best part is someone used console commands to teleport and it basically kills you (and everyone else) anywhere on the map lol
I love Zao, he has some amazing voice acting. He even tries and finds the english translations when he cannot think of a word. It sounds authentic.
Reminds me of a holotape you can find, where a mother and her son are being hunted by a ghoul or monster. Her voice acting sounds very authentic and afraid. It's real good.
There are more, but that's the one I got at the top of my head.
As a Chinese, every time he said “home” and “family” in mandarin, it sting my heart so bad. as a Chinese a lot of old people that I know of, only wants 2 things, their own home and family. Legit tear out
Before I get cancelled out of existence, no I don’t think he did good, but getting stuck for 200 years is just the worst jail he will received, and there’s more to come.

@@jacobridgeway2849 It does hurt him greatly but in the dialog he does state this is not the same world he once lived in, anymore.

I got the sword and once the sub was operational I killed him for his badass submariners uniform and claimed the submarine for the minutemen.
@@michaelnizza414 jesus christ☠️☠️
This was 10 times funnier for me because I found this mission by accident near the end of the game. When Nate says "Sea monsters aren't real" I literally said outloud "We just fought a giant mirelurk coming out of the ocean at The Castle!"
Zao sounds like a great redeemed side character. It would be nice to see him return in a future game, either as an easter egg or for the plot.
Honestly, I want to know what happened in China, both before the war and after. I want to believe some sliver of them survived, pulled through to rebuild like in America
Zao would have made a friggin' dope follower.

I wont lie, the more i read and see about fallout's lore and history in game, i start to enjoy it more and more, even if it has it's issues and problems, i like it.
My theory is that not all the crew became feral ghouls, i think some of the crew might have become regular ghouls and left to live semi-normal lives in the commonwealth but a captain goes down with his ship so he probably stayed while his non feral crew left
Whoever voiced zao is amazing his portrayal of a broken general is spot on!

The Chinese really understood the IC in ICBM ^^
The art of launching Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles from 5 kilometers away...
The idea there would be to launch and strike so close that there wouldn't be enough reaction time for retaliation. Strike the places that can command a counterstrike, then have the mainland missles show up later and sweep up the remains.
We have the came capability in real life, and would do the same thing.
@@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz I'm pretty sure we designed missiles specifically for this. Using a ICBM at this range is a waste and probably less effective because they are probably programmed to go to a certain height before going to target. Using a SRBM would be way less expensive and maybe more effective. I could be totally wrong, but if a sub was sent so close to mainland, they would have gave him a shorter ranged missile.
Well. I read some Wikipedia articles and apparently, submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) are very similar to ICBM... But using an ICBM to target something this close give me same feeling as using a trebuchet instead of a bow. And it should be SLBM and not ICBM as it is inside a submarine.
@@PrinceUzuRyu its also the Fallout Universe....so being _that_ pedantic helps no one.
Continental X
Port-inental V
I'm pretty sure SSBMs are not inter-continental... do you know how huge the missile would have to be
SSBM are similar to intermediaterange and shorter-range ballistic missile in terms of range and reaction time
I really want the dialogue option where you can tell Zao that you were there.
Like
Opt 1: "I was there when the bombs dropped. You're not the only one who's 200 years old"
Zao: "After all this time. I. I thought I was the only one who saw the fire. The fire, that burned... People. That burned... Me with guilt"
Opt 2: "I was there when you launched those nukes! You burned my country! I saw it with my very own eyes!!"
Zao: "I. Understand how you feel. Especially, you were there. But. I was. Also there. And I am punished by 2 centuries of guilt. Sins of past. Must be erased"
Opt 3: "You're our enemy! I was there, when you burned Boston, when you burned America! Die commie bastard!"
Zao: *Turns hostile*
Opt 4: "You received orders? From whom. I was there, Zao. I saw it all, just like you did. What happened afterwards?"
Zao: "From command. I. I didn't know you were there. After receiving instructions. Command... Silent. Fēicháng bàoqiàn. Terribly sorry."
Last option is god tier. Great idea
mods.....might not get the voice but lets get what we can
I would like a mod where depending on how your Sole Survivors preset look is like a Asian and you can pick which country you are from and you can occasionally have your character say your native language like Japanese,Chinese, and Korean even in the accent from that country

I can spare Parthunaax of his crimes against mortals because he had to follow the rule of Alduin, the evil form of Aka but sparing a Commie? Nah, not gonna happen in both virtual and real world.
And everyone i know seems to want to kill him like parthurnaax too.

This mission made me want a fallout based in China. So much lore to be had
Fun Fact: Yangtze’s name is after the longest river in Asia. (Yangzi or Yangtze River)
China
Changjiang
And Yangtze is the longest lasting submarine we see. So that's cool
That is a fun fact and quite correct Mr. King! 😀
@MKULTRA almost everyone all ready knew that
It is never mentioned directly, but Zao’s dialogue options give the idea that he and his crew made incursions into Boston after he docked. It is possible that some, or even most, of his crew died looking for supplies to repair the submarine.
Thiago Cardoso to further this point I'd say after 200 years of doing nothing a lot of people would probably wanna leave. Just leave. The war is over what's the point of staying in a military sub.
Thats what i was thinkin get as well
Harvest 678
Might explain the Chinese ghouls you find in the Capital Wasteland.
If there's not an explanation to them already, of course.
Hell, they even wear similar clothes.
I never think nuclear war should happen but as a Beijingner I stand with Zao, in these desperate times humanity should unite and find new resources instead of fighting over it.
"But now I must... warn you. There is danger. Wei xian! Old crew... still down there."
[ Beer has worn off. ]
Yeah, that was probably a very sobering moment
Zao is definately one of my favourite characters, as just like the sole survivor, they still think like a normal human, and havnt became corrupted or anything like any other characters.
He have a strong principles
If he’s a commie, he’s corrupted.

13:00
I always thought that was because the sub has been on American shores for 200 years and Zao brought some American tech on board after the blast
I really wish Bethesda put more effort into making your character a man/woman out of time that knows of an America before the wastes. Especially during your interactions with the Brotherhood that would be quite the usefull perk.
Like whole quests being based off of intel and stories that the player has. I was wanting something like that sooooooo bad.
I really loved the character of Captain Zao. He maintains his military bearing, despite two centuries of loneliness. There is a tragic sort of honor associated with the Captain. He regrets the past, the nuclear fire, and his role in the end of the world. However, his pride in his boat was unbreakable. In a better world, the Captain of the Yangtze would be at the helm of his boat, riding the waves under a bejeweled sky; a proud man and the open sea. Xie xie, Captain Zao. Your war is over.
This is gold man😀
Many thanks!
Am I the only one that wants him as a companion?
Doooood what if Hitler ended up like this if he was caught in a fallout?
I always wondered how ghouls could go 200 years in a hellish world without going insane, especially when in isolation. Maybe that’s one of the causes of feral ghouls?
Oxhorn: this man is responsible for ALL of the destruction in Boston. This man created the Glowing sea. He destroyed downtown Boston. Zao: * spins around in a tight circle*
Old video I know, there was a canceled side quest where Zao took you to an underwater vault ran by a sentient squid thing. Also the ghoul whale was another canceled side quest/storyline if I remember correctly. Would have been cool even if it was a quick glimpse like the white whale in the witcher 3.
Zao would be a great companion especially for the Male soul survivor since he was in the pre war us army
"America liberating Anchorage? Now that was a good joke."
He just roasted the Americans
Twice!
Which is why we kill a commie for mommy
Everyone got roasted like Steak
Laughs in Not being American

The Yangtze seems like a bit of a missed opportunity. A DLC where after you help Zao, you can tag along with him to go explore China with him being a follower/giving you quests to help people and rebuild would be epic.
YESSSSSSS I WANT THAT NOT ANOTHER FUCKING LAMPPOST FOR THE WORKSHOP
Fr
JaimeeNotJamie right 😂
thats a shit idea
why a DLC? that needs a whole new game to fit it
Agreed
The creation club for the chinese stealth suit shouldve given him some unique lines if your wearing it when you go on board
It’s possible the sub posed as an American sub, waiting to strike at the right time, is somewhat reinforced by true fact that the Yangtze and the nucleus submarine in Far Harbor are virtually identical.
The sub is stuffed with American supplies because he collected all that stuff on his scavenging missions. I'm assuming all his original supplies ran out since the sub wasn't stocked up for 200 years of living.
Zachary Rose Didn't think about that... makes sense, though.
***** maybe likes to eat..
***** well when ur skin is rotting off food taste isn't a main concern lol
***** Actually, ghouls do need to eat; they just don't age.
***** Bethesda absolutely screwed over the canon in FO4. Canonically, ghouls eat just like any other human. This is just a bad case of ignorant writers.

Former USN sailor here, little note about submarines: that galley (dinning area) is bigger than the one on the transport ship I served on. A modern nuclear sub only has seating for 10-15 men in the galley. Everything works in 8 or 12 hour shifts.

@@everythingsalright1121 or the fact that the operation required countless shellings and explosives. America probably "retook" a blasted crater and an oil line.
@@everythingsalright1121 I personally think its an example of him being cut off from communications with mainland China. and he actually did think china still owned Alaska. which gives credit to the vault tech caused the war. after finding out china was in fact about to be conqured and fearing the war would end with chinas surrender the nukes were launched by vault tech. surprising the chinese sub commander and the US troops and kicking off the war.

Nope, he pronounced everything perfectly. I should know since I'm Chinese myself.
Would have been way cooler if he was the only person in the game to carry the chinese pistol (from fallout3), and after repairing the submarine he would give the pistol to you.
I would love that so much!!! Cause I play on PS4!! So awesome!!
Would love to have a talk about Chinese interpretation of events with such a character in the game, to talk more about pre-war world
The interesting thing about the Yangtze submarine is that it was originally supposed to have a better use, however the quest that was to come after Zao sails away was cut. It was called 20 Leagues Under the Sea.
Bethesda make a god damn new DLC! Bring us to China with Zao!
KeinNameLP Yes, also a memory den DLC would be great too!
+Jessop A chinese DLC would still be the best :D with New weapons and old one from Fallout 3 like the Chinese Pistol and the Chinese Assault Rifle and the Chinese Stealth Armor. Maybe the prototype of a chinese Power Armor and more. But no bethesda said Nuka World is the last DLC...god damn idiots-_-
KeinNameLP or even an entire fallout game in China.
+niko 2064 would be interesting too but we need a DLC too
+The Wakaran Channel than they are fucked and only good people who let him live can go to China :P or he just respawns
I like how they portrait Zhao's patriotism. Chinese Patirotism is never equal to fanatics, but the Nostalgia or homesickness (思乡情怀) no matter which corner you are at, and the belief about rebuilding your own land, your own house with your people until you won't be able to do so. I'm not a PRC citizen and i was born in Sydney, but I lived in China for 13 years and my family is chinese, I can say that they really did this very accurate, and the Chinese community of this game marked Captain Zhao as one of the most memorable character of the franchise, it's been a long time since Chinese people, especially a PLA member is portraited this accurate instead of some RED GUARD stereotype. And we really appreciate that.
As someone who is not a member of the Chinese community of this game, I would also call him one of the most memorable characters, right up there with Valentine.
Hearing Zhao's plan - especially about either building, if there is a need, or simply dying, if there isn't, has always had me tear up. It's one of the saddest pieces of hope in the game.
“The city was already destroyed when we got here” so he definitely wasn't responsible for destroying Boston.
3:19 if this clip is taken out of context it is so good and has so much meme potential.
Zao is my favorite ghoul because he's the only passive/aggressive ghoul I experienced instead of Billy the kid
Enzo Gatila yea true
Enzo Gatila Billy was just a brat like the other kids we meet in this game
Hancock.
@@arctez2563 Hancock is the best ghoul no doubt, but he is NOT passive aggressive oh no 😂

Also his uniform looks nothing like the actual Chinese Navy, more like Nazi SS from the WW2 era, especially that officer cap with a skull in the middle...
Terran Republic you got some of those wrong.....
All of those words/phrases can mean so many things, because you haven't used pinyin that shows the intended tone for each word. Congratulations you can use google, silly kid.
Zetunez mate at least he took the time to do this.
Clayton Smith I agree
@@Zetunez i spent 11 years living in china and i can tell you that all those are 100% accurate , maybe if u have brain u may heard of something called ''context clues'' .
8:24 I like how she went from “you bastard!“ To “sure, I can help.“
Now *THAT* is what you call "More rebound than a kickball"
"This is a Chinese Communist!"
Man I loved your delivery and excitement, but it made me imagine you as one of those North Korean newscasters.
When I first found him I didn't loot the submarine. I had already spent 30+ hours collecting scrap building settlements and he said he wanted to build houses on China so I left everything so he had more tools to build
what a great guy!
Zao is the kind of man you’d want to sit down and have a cigarette with.
AfterDark3 a blunt*
AfterDark3 so as captain price
So you'd sit down with a man who killed millions?
Two things- Zao didn't kill millions, he was just carrying out orders. He did't make the call to launch the missile. Second, havn't you ever had the curiosity to speak with somone like Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin or Mao Zedong? I mean these have to be some of the most interesting people on earth.
@@AfterDark33 he killed people tho. It doesn't matter if it was orders or not. And no if I ever met any of those bastardy I would put a bullet in their head in n instant.
Imagine if there was an option to give the First Mate's hat to Zao saying, "I'm sorry. I did what needed to be done." Zao would then reply, "I know... Thank you, but please... keep it. Consider it gift; a token of friendship, and an apology for what I have done." You then reply, "Consider yourself forgiven. We cannot undo what has already been done, but we can make things better with what we have left and with what we never lost to begin with. Safe travels... my friend." Only then would the hat gain special stats that are unique.
I didn't or wasn't studying Chinese at the time I was playing this back in the day but coming back to this now after 2 years of study it is cool to understand what he is saying
Same!! I would have died laughing if the sub had squat toilets, cigarettes/ 🚬 buds scattered, and noodle cups.
Plot Twist: Zao actually was in fact wearing, a leopard g-string.

I felt sorry for him. Just another victim of the war. He had 200 years to regret, to reflect on the hellscape he created, the death he dealt to so many innocents. Now, like so many others, he just wants to go home and rebuild. It's sad and he deserves pity.
Good video though! Will you do a video on Travis and DCR next? Just a suggestion.
I thought the same. I killed him in my BOS playthrough, just for accuracy, but I really hated to do so.
TacticalFaceplm _ Yes? Zao is a ghoul. Every brothrrhood soldier would have shot him on sight. And so did I.
I killed him out of cold blood, my character is a angry avenger, bloodthirsty. But I didn't like it.
Josh H Are you sure? Because I remember one time when a Vertibird landed near The Slog the soldier started shooting... It might have been because of a quest mod I had installed though, that's why I'm asking.
Josh H Oh alright, haven't seen that yet. Still sure they were BoS soldiers though.
That kid has a concerning craving to be surrounded by blood and guts and stuff. Because it's awesome.
My theory for the lack of bodies is that as raiders killed some of his crew over the years he gave then proper sea burials. The escaping theory is also very probable, maybe a combination of both.
Zao: this is my submarine
Sole survivor:oh no our submarine

The pet-peve I have about his playthroughs here in Fallout 4 are that he ignores picking up the wonderglue and the duct tape.
All that rare adhesive going to waste...
Adhesive isn't that rare. Aluminum on the other hand...
The man had 83 fusion cores. He isn't wanting
@@carp2567 yeah, I'm trying to repair and upgrade my primary suit of X-01, but can't find the aluminum or adhesive it seems.
Funny!!!!!

Fun fact: You don’t have to take the officer’s sword from him. One of the residents at the covenant also has this same sword.
