Fallout 4's Aliens Were Up to More Than We Thought

Fallout 4 and indeed the entire Fallout franchise, has introduced us to and endless number of mysterious and increadible creatures. However, perhaps the strangest inhabitant of the Commonwealth are the "Zetan" aliens. Unlike most monsters, these aren't mutants but extraterrestrial beings who have come to Earth for mysterious purposes. While their presence may initially seem to be a simple joke by Bethesda, a further examination of the games begin to reveal some odd trends and it would seem the Zetans really do have quite a bit of significance in the story of Fallout.

    Oof - Alright some notes - This was another long one! New Vegas did feature another "Alien reference", in the form of a small UFO camp with a few aliens we could encounter. However, it was locked behind the "Wild Wasteland" perk and pretty clearly just for giggles, furthermore even if it wasn't, it wouldn't have changed anything in the video. So I cut that. "Zeta Rays" - Are obviously an Alien technology that posses some capacity for calming individuals and improving one's mental state. Notably, Jack Cabot offers the Sole Survivor a Zeta weapon to use against Lorenzo in the Cabot House quest-line and it very likely boasts similar origins. June 25th, 2020 is Mr. House's birthday.

    We really should have captured the alien and used him in the memory den to learn everything. Create a synth of it and send it back missed opportunity

    Man I'm amazed that the Zatas have made it so far across the universe seeing how they can't land for shit.

    Nate, I don't think anyone on youtube currently has the passion you do in these videos. It really pays off, the fact that you have me hooked for 40 minutes is ridiculous, because I am normally the person that skips 10 seconds every minute on videos lol. Glad that you are uploading again!

    Fallout 3 has or had computer entries and audio logs that inferred the Zetans were the ones that caused the bombs to be launched in the first place. It’s been over a decade since I last went through Fallout 3 but that was one of the major plot points I can remember from the Mothership Zeta dlc. If I’m not mistaken there’s another location somewhere in the capital wasteland that has a computer entry that also suggests a foreign entity had control over the missile launch sites.

    That Japanese Samurai was funny. he was basically saying "look, idk what the hell you are saying, just where is my sword?"
  • That awkward moment when you travel light years to destroy a planet and they've gone and done it themselves.
  • Great synopsis and I've always found the Alien lore in Fallout fun. The Hubologists and their parody of Scientology always has me laughing.
  • @newbsandwich
    Thank you for collecting and condensing all of the available lore into easily digestible videos. Keep up the good work!
  • @FlightofCrows
    I'm curious if Nate is intentionally skirting around the fact that Hubism is a parody of Scientology, or if his confusion is real, and he really doesn't know that Hubism basically already exists.
  • Alien blaster in fallout 3 and NV: absolute face melter Alien blaster in fallout 4: practically a torch
  • With fallout 3 ive come to the conclusion they never will show the real intention of the aliens; the mistery itself is the main punchline of this faction. They just exist, do weird stuff and life goes on. Lets ignore them like we do with the giant octopus on the kitchen.

  • @BiggestGal
    I love how the exact MOMENT he starts showing Fallout 76 footage the terrain starts bugging out.
  • @saul6134
    Thanks for the great long form vids, they keep me entertained on commutes and Sunday dinner duty

    If you look behind the castle on the rear side, there is a ghoul by the name of Tom C. He can go into further detail about these little green guys.

    The aliens: have advanced technology The brotherhood: be a shame if someone eyes glow red liberated it

    "This sounds crazy. In fact, the whole thing sounds like a scam. What kind of missionaries would demand people give them money to convert and learn about their beliefs?" >Scientology wants to know your location
  • @Pestro
    Love how Aliens are invading in Fallout 76 and making this video kind of come true!? Very cool !
