If you bring Curie, you will get a love from her for completing the scientific work
Aaron Smith thanks
lmao yall tryna fuck
Ooo-lah-lah!
1700 soldier
merely trying to give Curie a full human experience. What, that _is_ a good excuse
@ValorJ Omega Synths are people too, quite literally "fuck it."
This is why I love Bethesda. Everyone is like "ugh Bethesda sucks at writing stories". No. Bethesda sucks at making main quests. Well, they have since Oblivion, anyway.
But where Bethesda really shines is in unmarked quests and stories that you need to explore to figure out. The world building is fantastic. Read the terminals, the notes, examine the corpses... there's usually a story in it somewhere, and even though you're the only one benefiting from doing it, it's usually worth it. It makes whatever place you're exploring way more interesting than just running through it like you're playing Black Ops.
Kevin Walter They do indeed have good story telling writing but this side story was very unimpressive if you actually study physics and chemistry. They need to work on giving more accurate scientific explanations or avoid giving any at all. Mass Effect does this really well, even though it's still not extremely realistic.
Kevin Walter like you could do any better
Oblivion was actually pretty good. But the Horse Armor DLC... Let's not forget that.
No, Bethesda sucks because they contradict established fallout lore constantly
They always have good concepts like the quest about Zao and the Yangtze.
They always have great ideas. They just execute it poorly.

"Let me OUTTA here you...
...s-ssstupid, robot...
That line was delivered perfectly.
Killer storytelling, man.
Graenolf Hey dude, love your content!
Graenolf holy shite! you watch oxhorn! i wonder if he watches you?
You really need a check mark
Graenolf your content is great!
My favorite dudes in one place, dope
Imagine if you could load your own Power armor chest piece to add a piezonucleized coating. And if the effect was something like repairing the armor when taking rad damage
Should be a mod for it.
it would make more sense to recharge the fusion core. sit in the glowing sea soaking up the rads, have the energy( rads) translate to like 8/rads per second being 0.8% power for a fusion core per second. IE 1000 rads, a lethal dose, would be one fully charged FC. pop some radaway and bam, plenty of power
MUJUNKY The problem is, in the lategame, everyone has more cores than they need. The limiting factor for PA use at that point is repair cost, not fusion cores.
Natasel It's just lithium reacted with hydrogen, lithium could be found fairly easily, and simply electrolyze water to get hydrogen gas. The materials are common enough for the millimeter or so thick coating on power armor
Barrett Jordan
Yeah, late game I started with 42 Fusion cores when I finally decided to give powerarmor a try. 2 hours later I had 45 cores. If I was Bethesda I would have put less PA frames and maybe made cores harder to get. I had a wall of power armor suits in one play through. It's too common place to be unique.
**shows T-60 piece being made then T-51 comes out**
Its T-45 thats being made
A Well Dressed Male Papaya nope, it’s a T-60 chest. The T-60 has two handle bars at either side while the T-45 only has one at the top.
@@romandjma.recordplayers7806 Yeah, I just watched back. I was wrong
@@romandjma.recordplayers7806 mine was T-45, but I think the defense stats are pretty similar, images of the T-51 version has a difference of 10-20 DR points, I guess it was a lesser model, mine was D, but that T-51 might have been model B or C
YEAH SCIENCE!
I was hoping for the ability to generate power for the suit when walking through radio active areas

Yesterday was JOSEPH STALIN'S birthday
so you can use it to butcher your countrymen?
@@mr.waffentrager4400 which is relevant how?
@@checkcheck1579 no he didn't butcher ...he punishes
I loved this quest in my game. It makes you actually pay attention to what the terminals a saying. And also, when it converts radiation to energy shouldn’t it recharge your fusion core. That’d be cool
How in the *Hell* is blasting someone with radioactive dust considered a "decontamination?" Ahhh, the 50's...they thought radiation could cure anything. Smh...
There could very well be a malfunction pumping water from the leaking reactor
I'm in agreement with the Lt. After 200+ years, I'd imagine all the stored, decontaminated gas would become contaminated, and then stay that way since it is sealed tight.
it is a malfunction I haven't been able to recreate it but in one run I enter the clean room completely rad free and it never blaster me as the scanners read me as "clean" but the tinnist bist of rands they try and decontaminate you with broken pumps when then read"oh your still contaminated lets blast you again" creating an infinite loop
Well, guess it could be like hormesis...........giving subject a low-energy level radiation treatment to build up the subject's body and possible to withstand even higher level radiant energies..........astronauts can use this technique to try to withstand the cosmic rays of space..........
Egerwer Only problem with that is...Ionizing radiation doesn't build up the body. It breaks it down at the molecular level. If it were building something _up_, Chemo/Radiation patients wouldn't look like waifish, walking skeletons, who can barely keep down a meal, now would they? And, if it built the body _up_, there sure as hell wouldn't be all that hair loss either.
I discovered this on my own.
It felt AMAZING to create stuff like this!
Although the security went haywire; the turrets were shooting and that bot was trying to kill Dogmeat.
The piezonucleic source actually dates to fnv, the enclave power armor uses a piezonucleic power source instead of the "microfusion cell" battery the normal suits use.
Really? That's cool!
in the S.P.E.C.I.A.L video how did they know what mutated animals would look like if that was a pre-war presentation
Damn
TØXIC CØDY I've wondered the same thing
He should do a video on it
They did a lot of stuff with radiation. Look at the barrels of nuclear waste that are everywhere. surely the had many animals and people exposed to it for long periods of time. Many people knew about ghouls like Eddie winter who deliberately became one pre-war, and planned to rejoin society when it reformed.
Projections and predictions.
Hydraulic Acid, I can’t stop laughing at that
John Elwood, Sunglasses, Trilby, I think this might be a "Blues Brothers" reference
Can you do the story about the Chinese-American boy worried about being deported to the internment camps before the Great War?
Woah, I have not heard of this story. Is it in Fallout 4? Where do we learn about him?
It is in Fallout 4. Let me find where it is.
It's just outside of Natick Banks in an empty house. You'll find a terminal where a young boy kept his private thoughts regarding the internment camps.
From what I remember, one entry detailed how the boy's friend came in with a terminal game about blowing up Commies. The boy's father found out about it, got furious and kicked the friend out. It's all told from the boy's POV and it's just so innocent because he honestly doesn't understand what's going on. Only that his family are angry and scared, people are vanishing at night, and he just wants to go out and play.
ScarletImp2113 I've only found that house once, but remember the story. Was it the Woo kid from the check point by Big Johns Slavage??? I was thinking they were the same family.
What an entire team of scientists couldn't figure out in weeks, the sole survivor figures out in less than an hour(depending on how much time you spend in the lab).
The Sole Survivor was following Erika’s instructions
Mate, your lore videos are amazing. You have quickly become my favourite CZcamsr. Love your style and love your work, keep it up!
Thanks for weatching!
*Watching
why didn't the scientists think to destroy the robots first then activate the defense system?
lil sxi they didnt have guns
Brayden Hunt that’s not how it works are you out of your fucking mind? you can’t “chuck wrenches” and destroy the turrets the second you break that glass the security protocols get activated so it’d be too much of a risk and turrets aren’t easy to get rid of
Because they are scientists
I would think that the turrets would recognize them as personnel of the polymer lab
+Oxhorn
Nah, you misunderstood the military's response; the extraction would have been payment for their research. They didn't say "we'll kill you if you leave;" it was "we'll kill you if you lie to us to get us to waste resources extracting you for no benefit to the war effort." They could leave at any time if they wanted, but would not be afforded safe passage to a secure base unless they completed their job.
To be fair, after the intro to Fallout 2, the "military" extraction would probably be Enclave soldier's minigunning everyone and securing the research.
Marcus Alexandre Leitão Guedes you make a good point
it is interesting that the science behind the story is actually possible. The suit converter is basically similar to a photovoltaic cell (solar cell). Sun light is a form of radiation which knocks electrons from the semiconductor matierial inside the cell. Gamma radiation which is an electromagnetic ionising radiation do knock electrons from metals, thus produces energy.
I love the way you narrate the stories, @Oxhorn. You make the backstories infinitely more interesting! I play FO4 most days & an avid reader as well. When I'm doing one, I can't do the other & it's a little sad. You put both my most favourite things together & it makes the whole Fallout experience INFINITELY better. I can't thank you enough for all the work that you do! 💖
I know its a while but I got this game two years ago and did a surprising full BOS play where I ended sharing your views but miraculously found most secret finds. Now Ive picked it back up on my minuteman playthrough and feel the spoilers arent such. Great storytelling and investigations. You are probably my favorite subscription. Plus you did this six days a week. Quite impressive, thanks, Ox.
Thanks for making this video. This was such a compelling and memorable side quest. The beauty of Fallout 4 is that there are so many of these unique side quest in addition to multiple main quest lines.
I think it's cool how you actually get to make the armor piece. You really put a lot of work into these videos and it shows. Thanks for this cool story.
I think the ghouls are supposed to be other explorers who came across the lab post-war.
ItalianoMobzter7 Makes sense, judging by the clean room dousing you in the stuff.
u should do the full story of Eugene and Malcom
Great idea!
Oxhorn Oxhorn I did some searching for some lore ideas for your vids because I love them and I have found one can you do a vault 144
BramDoesGaming you like ark to
I like how your happy music is playing in the background through all of this
I really really love this series Oxhorn. My only dissapointment is that this little series isn't called Oxhorn Valentine's Case # 22 - Full Case of Cambridge. (Or something pertaining to Valentine hehe)
How you search and put the stories together really feels like detective work and how you make us reflect in the end. I look forward to your videos everyday, keep up the good work and all the best to you and your family for the upcoming holidays.
Thank you, Oxhorn, for a great package of Fallout 4 lore and quest walk-through.
I was actually looking for a walk-through because both two times I've tried to complete the Polymer Labs quest I have failed to find the last room that you show us in this video (the one where you will find the final needed sample) but what a nice surprise to find more than I had hoped for.
The Polymer Labs present a good example of how the process of designing layouts - landscapes and perhaps especially building/'dungeon' interiors - is a special area of expertise in video game creation because you have to learn to know how people/players look at their surroundings in-game, how we navigate space within the game world.
Just think about it:
If you were inside a building like the Polymer Labs and had to search every room in order to find a certain number of items, how likely is it that you would continually overlook one particular room although that room is almost right in front of you? Not very likely, is it? Yet, in video games we do it all the time because the landscapes, dungeons and interiors are designed to be overlooked (although some of us do it more often than others, of course).
I think this is an interesting point that shows yet another aspect of video game creation that for most people probably doesn't even cross our minds, because why would it? After all, this is not a line of thought we employ outside of a game universe.
..........
To developers and mod creators who may be reading this comment:...
You are very welcome to take the above as a compliment, for that's exactly what it is, you really do some admirably skillful artistic work.
You know, I feel like the pre-enclave were the ones that responded not the Military itself, given the response and the lack of kindness shown to the scientists. Though that might only be me thinking that.
John Quigley III yeah even in 76 they were already pulling string before the war
Reeks of Enclave
16:22 The canisters do not stay stuck in your inventory, only they stay stuck until the quest inside the labs is completed by completing the experiment. They then become junk items that you can use for settlements, upgrade/modify weapons and armor etc.
Edit: I was wrong altogether. They are useless and DO get stuck in your misc inventory even after the quest is completed.
Amora Silverspark I have 8 play thru games and not one of them have I ever been able to drop any of the extra canisters or use them for anything. Doesn't matter whether I indentify them or leave them unknown, each time I try to get them out of my inventory it just says quest items cannot be stored or dropped. I am now level 116 and they are still stuck there.
Odd, my first playthrough on the PS4 version, I examined all the canisters, completed the experiment, and finished the quest and was able to dump the useless canisters into a workbench. I guess I'll have to go through it again on a new playthrough to see if I am wrong.
Amora Silverspark that would be awesome, there is enough useless crap you have to look thru in the Misc. tab. I am on XBox and got the game on the first day, I have never been able to drop them. That's one thing I wish Bethesda would work on, once a quest is complete you should be able to store anything related to it. Maybe not destroy it but at least take it out of the massive inventory you have to look thru all the time.
Okay, I played through this quest once more and yeah, I was wrong. They don't become junk items and do get stuck in your inventory.
Amora Silverspark that is the one thing I wish Bethesda would change about all quest items. Once you don't need them you should be able to drop or store them out of your carry inventory. It is a pain in the butt to go thru all that stuff to find something you need. Or group keys together like in FO3.
Love these videos you go into so much depth, Learn so much of these locations
Great video and fascinating story! I just spent a long time on this mission while trying to figure out what happened exactly. I got most of it but was confused about who was the *glowing one* and I missed the suicide note. I left through the defence system. But thanks for explaining everything, love all the detail they put into it ^^
This had to be one of my top five backstories to a building in this game. I loved exploring it and learning the backstory and I'm so stoked you did a vid on it! Thank you so much!!
edit: a word
I haven't even played fallout 4. But dammit is this interesting. And honestly rather entertaining. I enjoy the bits you add, rather than just reading the logs. You really do your research. And you are getting better each video, keep it up sir!
Nice story telling skills.Voice is well suited and everything.Very enjoyable.
Oxhorn, I was level 39 when I did this, and the armor was X-01. I could tell by the upgrade levels being Mk.II. So apparently you could get T-60 and X-01 if you are high enough of a level. I had mods, but they were only for settlements, so nothing was changed
i got an X-01 too and im level 58 when i got it. I have settlement mods too but nothing that should change this.
I gotta say ox. Your videos made me wanna play this game again. And I am now and I'm having a blast. Always loved your wow videos. Now I'm enjoying your fallout videos. Keep up the good work!
Hey Oxhorn! I'm so glad I found your channel. I really enjoy learning about the Fallout 4 lore and this has inspired me to come back to the game again and again. I'm sure there is much more to be discovered/reviewed and I look forward to watching your analyses! Thanks again for the great content!
You bet thanks for watching!
I'm never normally paying attention to story when I'm in "Dungeons" and this opened up everything about this place
Great job man! I love watching these kinds of videos, they always make me learn something new
16:23 is where Ox shows us where we find the 3 components we need to get out, and with the body armor piece
Just playing this now - and in the habit of completing buildings/areas then going to the Oxhorn vids to see what I missed...... (which usually the full story of what happened). So Oxhorn, your vids still highly valued and regarded as of Dec 2019......
very nice telling...one of the best walk-throughs i've ever seen...well done
Another well done video. These are much better than videos go there get that loot.
I was so happy when I got the T-51f piece. My favorite armor in the game is the T-51, given its rarity, aesthetics, and pedigree.
Love your vids, Ox!
Another great vid Ox, thanks! Btw have you tried dropping/storing these canisters after completing the quest? That works with some of the quest items, and if not sometimes you can hand them to a companion to ease your own carry weight.
Speaking of lore mistakes, if you go to the Vault Tec Regional HQ a terminal says that they shipped Jet to Vault 95 - but as you pointed out in a different video, Jet was a post-war creation...unless it wasn't, and the child genius found a way to REcreate Jet.
Gylden Glor pretty easy,fertilizer and plastic
Fun yet disgusting fact, jet is a fictionalized version of a real drug called "jenkem", basically it's sewer gas that people get high off of.
Late to the party, but I do love the on-screen graph you provided for comparing the armor bonuses.
Thanks for these videos, they're really entertaining because i love fallout lore.
I have a whole suit that I use just for visits to the glowing sea, and I find the piezonucleic chest piece perfect for this.
I literally just finished the Lab before you posted this up. I like the story here.
I have an idea! After you raise pre-war radio towers, you can get distress calls and radio stations with people who were separated from families, and some who are hiding in bunkers. There is one in particular that confused me. It was a mother, with her young son. She explained in the broadcast that she was being chased by something, hiding in a train car. It knew she and her son were in there. Near the end of the broadcast, she says that it opened the door, and it ends with her scream "GO SON RUN AWAY!" And it repeats.
Cool but what does this have to do with Cambridge polymer labs? No hate just asking
When I did this quest, I was very excited (after reading the terminal) to get what I thought would be a chest piece that recharges your fusion core from radiation. I was disappointed with the results, and found it sad that such a cool location had such a poor reward.
Jesus Ox you are scaring the [insert Bad word here] out of me. xD just yesterday i was at that place doing a mission for the railroad. this would be if im not mistaken the 3rd lore story that comes out after i've visited that location. Thumbs up!
Hah! My mind reading technique is paying off
Maybe... Cabot House in middle of downtown Boston? i just went there xD.
How do you manage to make a full video every day?? I can't fathom how much work that would take XD
16:10 Hydraulic acid?
Cheers Oxhorn, awesome lore run through.
Dude I had no idea you could actually finish the work I just blasted my way through dammit
Fun fact: This is based off of a real company, called Cambridge Isotope Labs. I actually work in the same building as CIL and I've met a few of their employees, who LOVE being referenced in Fallout.
I used to find the Eyebot in Sanctuary regularly. But I haven't been able to find it for a while.
Of course, I do use a mod that plops a trio of Raiders out front of the town too... But, I've never found an Eyebot corpse. I think I might run into it occasionally, but the Eyebot I see doesn't transmit.
I actually first stumbled on this place seeking shelter from a rad storm that popped up on my way to Diamond City for the first time. I was so low leveled at the time I had to use mines to take out the Glowing One.
the canisters that have the different metals are also located at the corvega assembly plant in the basement but you can't pick them up I think they are for making the rest of the armor pieces
I was just about to ask for this... Thanks Ox!
This note in the jon elwood director terminal from the colonel is a big clue for me that this kemp knew about the nukes the next day, because of the cryptic phone call
I dont know why but i really love scientists in Fallout 4 , nice video!
There’s also a fusion core on the right corner (facing the door from the desk) in the directors room
This sounds exactly like a horror story, especially the way you explained it.
Im curious about the story of the dunwich borers on what went down on there. It might be a good story too
With the actual mechanics of the suit and the game, I've always assumed AP to be a measure of stamina, or how much you can do in a set time, something along those lines. In power armor, you should be able to rely on the suit to take care of how "action" you can do/withstand at a time.
Therefore, the lining would possibly transfer to the suit and act as a supplement to the power core (or, if you're going on the mostly unbroken not F04 logic, power cells of the specific suit) instead of charging you directly with hoppin' happenin' gold-vibration energy. And this would also explain why it's only on the chest piece and not on any other part of the suit, as that is where the power is located.
Anyways, love your vids, actually got me to appreciate the fantastic storytelling of the world of the commonwealth!
I like watching your lore video it helps me whin I play the game because sometimes I don’t understand the lore and you help me with that
another great video that helped me understand everything that was going on here
T51 is the best power armour for survival mode. X-01 is a pain to maintain and repair without fast travel.
Wow. Great video Oxhorn. Almost as perfect as this spot. Perfect spot for a Mirelurk den.
Love your stuff oxhorn! You make my day at work go by pretty quickly. Thanks a mil!
this has been my favorite quest so far.
The radioactive mist I did not even realize when I did because I just walked past doing it trying to finish a quest for the railroad
Not sure how much time a video would need for this thought, but it would be need to do a compilation video on Synths living in the Wasteland. "People" like Roger Warwick, Danse, Sturges (I guess), and and Valentine, among others; could even touch on Harkness from FO3. Maybe do a short talk about their replacment using information found in game.
When I did this question the first time and I took the gold isotope out of the thing it gave me a clear tube called "NONE" which I could not do anything with and I had to load an earlier save
I was wondering with you playing your Institute character do you have more time to explore the commonwealth. I have a Institute play through but moved on to another play through because I felt the game to be basically over with that play through. But as I can see it is not. Also do you plan to return to your survival play through and do any videos during that play through? Keep the lore and info videos coming its great to watch.
Thanks, yes I plan to broadcast my survival character some more. I rushed through the major plot with my Institute character leaving the world practically untouched. I am using her to shoot footage because she is one of my few characters who has not done these quests or discovered these locations yet, which makes for better and easier filming.
Getting locked in here by accident at a low level on Horizon survival was a master craft moment in immersion during my last playthrough.
And the reward ended up being super useful for a while.
Man, other than Vault 81, (which only ended up well due to the actions of a disobedient Overseer), Fallout 4 is just one depressing story after another...
I just spent the last few days streaming all of your videos best 4 days of my life
there's a bug I encountered in this mission that prevents you from getting the breastplate. I put the Lithium Hydride in the compartment along with the gold while testing the components, but for some reason when I removed the Lithium Hydride out to test the others, it somehow got changed to an empty container and I couldn't use it again.
Oxhorn my man. love what you do! keep up the great work! i am always excited to see one of your videos.
Thank you for making this video. It was helpful.
Hey Oxhorn I was wondering how did were you able to play through the polymer labs seeing as you have probably completed it at a low level? Is there any way to reset dungeons and locations?
No, I waited to do this until I beat the game. Then I came back at level 48
Bethesda should seriously consider using some its fans as voice actors for their games... starting with you of course Oxhorn... maybe even create an NPC modeled after you, cigars and all... But really, I think it would go a long way in keeping and creating new fans of their games and I'm sure a lot of people would do it for free, saving Bethesda money... It would also create a better gaming experience because many NPC's could have unique voices.... unlike what we got in Skyrim (although I do love that game) Thanks for the videos Oxhorn!
The position she offers apparently varies depending on how you answer her questions, but the effective result is the same.
It could be that liberty prime has multiple models. Maybe One such model was ready ,not for the retaking of anchorage, but for the defense after retaking it.
The part about being trapped in the office reminded me of sleeping on the floor in a classroom when I was in the military since we didn’t have proper sleeping areas in our units shared building.
and one thing I was looking at the cheat hollotape under “mods weapons” and I found this mod “(cut content) heals targets instead of hurting them”
I went to my dad and was like “hey I finally got a job at the Cambridge polymer labs”
Wouldn't mind see the full history of Hancock as he's quite the character
Also love your videos beautiful voice over to every one of them
That soothing that I nearly fell asleep
Thanks for the full story OXHORN!!! I been there
I should note, Curie loves it if u complete the research. It's been hard to get Curie to Max affinity so this quest helps.
Lol Molly said “I can’t wait to watch you keep out interlopers” like in fallout 76
Can you do a lore video on the Electrical Hobbyists Club?
I think he already did.
It was a T-60 piece going across the conveyor but was T-51 when it came out
Great vid, love your Lore storys
