We all knew it for decades, but Emil pretty much declared "I never look into the source material lmao" that way.
Emil is either a huge idiot or an incredible troll. There is no other option.
>Nate the Rake, avid supporter of war crime and Canadian suffering
what the frick, I think I finally see the appeal of Fallout 4
I can not buy Bethesda games and watch Todd cry because Starfield was so shit it didn’t get a single award, and made Philly Xbox regret his purchase immediately.
I can do that.
they take a lot of joy in the fact that some of their audience are not drooling frickwits, and remember things and are able to make logical reasoinings. because those people are a different species from bethesda writers, so they ragebait them a lot while arbitrarily fricking up their own series. it would be pretty funny if they weren't leftoid homosexuals and genuinely stupid.
The dumbass Emil said on tw*tter he was the soldier from the FO1 opening that is laughing while a Canadian POW gets murdered, seemingly unaware that this makes him a war criminal.
Emil Pag put out a tweet saying that Nate was one of the soldiers from the Fallout 1 intro, where they execute some Canadian citizen during Canada's annexion.
Thanks to Emil, this means that Nate is cemented as a war criminal and probably tortured and killed many Canadians during his service.
While this is incredibly based, it means good luck playing a "good guy" Nate.
The lead writer for Bethesda made a retcon that the main character of Fallout 4 was in Fallout 1 (which is stupid since Interplay obviously never had that in mind).
The interesting part is the character Nate (Fallout 4 protagonist) is retconned to be is a war criminal who laughs at his soldier buddy executing a canadian on live tv.
How can this be the case when Nate wears T-60

and the soldiers in the leaf execution video are wearing T-51
That's easy, for killing so many Canadian rebels, Nate was assigned to an elite unit that was provided with the latest version of power armor for the fight in Anchorage.

In a way, I think a "good guy" Nate is still doable, just make him absolutely deranged and psychotic but in a lawful sense. Sparing no compromise for enemy factions but having no real beef with some average civilian that's still technically "American".
That's pretty much what it has to be, since every ending monologue regardless of ending in 4 seems to imply Nate thinks he did what he did for the greater good.

>tfw Nate was pretty much the perfect Enclave soldier, and was probably gonna get recruited at the Veteran's Hall
>Enclave is getting added to FO4 >ONLY as a one way quest where you destroy them
Every. Fricking. Time. This is why BG3 took every award and Starfield/TES/FO is stuck being last centuries RPG.
Of all the protagonists, you would think an actual pre-war soldier who was part of all that pre-war shit, would be the ideal morally grey choice maker for a potential Enclave joiner thing. Massive missed opportunity to do something interesting, like everything related to FO4
I'm unironically tempted to do a "Emil's Nate" playthrough, just roll up in power armor on some poor wasteland farmer, take all his tatos and shoot his wife.
>Nate was one of the guys from the FO1 intro >Shady Sands getting nuked in the TV show
They really are fricking pissed about the fact Slopout will never be as well received as the original games or NV so they're going full on lore rape to burn it all down so only Emil and Todd's vision of poorly designed guns and le ebin 1950s references remains sut among half-crumbled pre-war buildings remains.
You know Fallout 3 and 4 sold more and reviewed higher than new vegas right. On top of making skyrim which is far more popular and successful than new vegas. Like yeah forum nerds disagree but I don't think they really care
>You know Fallout 3 and 4 sold more and reviewed higher than new vegas right

I mean to be perfectly fair Nate wakes up in post apocalyptic America then immediately starts killing raiders and ghouls and cryptids without blinking. In retrospect he was always kind of fricked up in the head.
Emil is a loser who can't write for shit and has no interest on anything he actually does work on but has a perma-job and immunity because he's been best friends with TODD since high school. Reminder that he's the reason Fallout 76 is complete garbage too since he was the one in charge of the game and by all accounts basically didn't give a shit about it, never listened to developer or tester feedback and allowed the game to launch in it's shit state because he was more concerned about making sure the in-game store functioned properly.
Except he can write, many quests in Oblivion, Fallout 3, and their respective dlc prove that he can.
He just sees no point in trying if people skip your content
>many quests in Oblivion, Fallout 3, and their respective dlc prove that he can
LOL >b-but the dark brotherhood!
was only good for its gameplay, the story was trash and stupid.
You asked him if he watched the full cinematic? Also these literally were never given any identity inside their power armors. Him doing it younger doesnt mean your character waking up in the vault couldnt regret it.

This, Mate probably saw how much of a pansy, commie, pathetic excuse for an American his son had become and decided that him and the rest of the wasteland wasn't worth saving.
Canon Nate >Get overly passionate about baseball >Always pick "sarcastic" in dialogue >1 int idiot savant so you can laugh whenever someone dies >Kill anything considered foreign
Maybe Emil should have put a minute worth of effort in and seen what scene he was saying that Nate was in, but I don't think Emil has put a minute worth of effort into anything considering Bethesda games.
Um sweaty ghouls can live for centuries in a refrigerator because ghouls aren't real. I think the only idiot is the one taking video games seriously. Check mate, chudski.
There's a clip of him from a stream I think where you can see Emil typing, he can only do hunt-and-peck typing, having to look at the keyboard to find each key. Despite being a professional writer.
>nate is NOT a war criminal
fricking love how this gay of course back tracks the only based thing he has ever or will ever say. cant wait to rake some frickin leaves in world war threes lets fricking GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Unironically would have been easier to walk this back if it was Nate shooting the guy and he was just in bloodlust mode then snapped out of it to wave to the cameraman.
Him being the guy who LAUGHS as he witnesses a POW get shot in the back of the head is pretty concrete.
>Making a save before wiping out everyone in Diamond City is now canon. >It's just Nate disassociating, or having an intense PTSD episode where he murders everyone. >Then he suddenly snaps back to reality, he's sitting at a bar enjoying some noodles, everything is normal. >It never happened, but he knows it could.
This is a good point, I like the idea of Nate being a terrifying, bloodthirsty and incredibly patriotic soldier during his early years. A legend, the perfect soldier, a Canadian's worst nightmare.
Once he gets home he settles down, marries Nora, has a son. He's starting to heal and leave his past behind.
But then one day, the bombs fall, he gets stuck in a vault. Then someone kills his wife, kidnaps his son.
The old Nate is back, the Institute doesn't know how badly they fricked up.
A "good" Emil Nate is lawful evil or a very dark lawful neutral. He's a ruthless Knight, a Minuteman General who's basically a barely principled warlord, a sociopathic director with something approaching good intentions, and a hardhearted smuggler that desires freedom over everything else, even death. An "evil" Emil Nate is basically just a one man army raider.
I don't understand how Emil thought this would make Nate look somehow better. Even if he's not actually laughing, it still means Nate is permissive with warcrimes. Shooting a POW like that is evil, sure, but it's banal. Everyone can fall into it if they're thinking about. LAUGHING at someone's death takes real, malicious evil. I will always trust a guy who does it because he's "following orders" than the absolute nutcase who actually enjoys it.
you have to realize and a lot of people need to realize is that sometimes those in charge of lore are moronic. He probably thought that him not being the one shooting the gun means he is a good guy
This. The biggest complaint Ganker had with FO4 was that the main character had his own personality so you can't roleplay, but he was also boring as frick. This retroactively makes him more interesting.
if you aren't some dorky super serious loregays, emil is unintentionally the funniest writer. all the retcons he makes are so stupid and batshit. We just got the NCR nuked out of canon and Nate the Rake. I can't wait to see what else he fricks up in fallout 5

Honestly, another way to walk it back coild've been >Nate was high as frick on Psycho at the time, the army just gave the soldiers a ton of drugs to see what would happen, he and the shooter were basically barey sentient raiders
>LEAVES could be here" Nate thought. "I've never been in this neighborhood before. There could be LEAVES anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his bare chest, stirring the foliage like so many dead Canadians. "I HATE LEAVES" he thought.
The comment section on Nexus is gold.
It's like watching prolific family-values theatre actor do a shitty movie, the get arrested on live TV for accicdentally running over the femboy Thai hooker he hired to peg him. I'd be funny except you're an actual Fallout fan watching this in realtime
kill Canadians, behead Canadian, roundhouse kick Canadian into the concrete, slam dunk a Canadian baby into the trash can, crucify filthy Canadian, defecate into Canadians food, launch Canadian into the sun, stir fry Canadians in a wok, toss Canadians into active volcanoes, urinate into Canadian's gas tank, Judo throw Canadians into a wood chipper, twist Canadians heads off, report Canadians to the IRS, karate chop Canadians in half, curb stomp pregnant Canadians, trap Canadians in quicksand, Crush Canadians in the trash compactor, liquify Canadians in a vat of acid, eat Canadians, dissect Canadians, exterminate Canadians in the gas chamber, stomp Canadians skulls with steel-toed boots, cremate Canadians in the oven, lobotomized Canadians, mandatory abortions for Canadians, grind Canadian fetuses in the garbage disposal, drown Canadians in fried chicken grease, vaporize Canadians with a raygun, kick old Canadians down the stairs, feed Canadians to alligators, slice Canadians with a katana.
unironically best thing Emil has done in years. It now makes complete sense how easily Nate was able to adapt to the apocalypse. He's a maniac that was waiting for the justification to go batshit on American soil the whole time.
It does in Nuka World if you go raider, but then it essentially doesn't make sense with the main game's endings cause no matter what ending you get Nate seems to think he's a good guy working towards a brighter future.
Man, Shaun was always fricked, no matter the situation. He probably would have the best life if Kellogg just adopted him and frick off from the Commonwealth.
kellogg was wasted in fallout 4, truly
that he shot nate or nora in the vault when they wouldnt give up the baby after 3 seconds of struggle was pure contrivance
reminder that the institute tasked this guy to retrieve virgil from the glowing sea to which he responded >dead or alive?
this homie is stone cold calculating, he doesnt make mistakes.
It's from the Art of Fallout 4
Originally fo4 was supposed to be a game like Mass Effect where you play a character like Commander Shepard instead of a blank slate. It was also Male only.
Anyway they listed last names for Nate and Nora.
That was Nate's.
Nora's was israeli but I can't remember it.
How did he have time to circle the dude in MS paint but didn't have the time to watch the entire 12 second clip?
I'm pretty sure even gen alpha kids have better attention spans than that.
>When asked about what it felt to take a human life, US soldier Nate 'Shawn Michaels Number 1 Fan' Sombra stated "I don't know, as i have only killed Canadians"
>Fighter's Guild was okay >Thieves' Guild was good >Mages' Guild was god-awful >Dark Brotherhood was good for the first half, god awful for the latter
Really? That's it.
He also was a writer and designer for Thief (the original not the reboot).
He was a major 90s video-game journalist in his spare time.
It seems his soul left when he lost weight
Emil's done good stuff, some genuinely cool concepts for quests and factions are his doing, but he seriously needs to be kept on a leash. If he's allowed to frick something up, he will.
I also really liked the show, more than the games stories.
I think its probably better than any of the Fallout games and I fricking wish any of them lived up to this level of representation of the wasteland and factionalism. NV gets close, but even that is tame in comparison to how fricked the show to its MC and characters.
The Brotherhood guy is unbearable though, bad acting and trash weak energy.
have you actually played any bad video games? like the worst near triple a game that i can think of is final doom. it was made by fans of doom but that doesnt excuse the fact that they charged money for that sack of shit.
>Oh, you're sad because a synth girl at your little institute ran away?

We were going to build our lives together there, Shaun! You know what? Frick you. Get the frick out of my settlement.
Nothing shows true dominance like fricking a Canadian women, also you can just pretend that she is a French woman that was taught how to speak French wrong
America went into Canada to defend the quebecois from the evil canadians. Hell I bet Quebec wanted to become a US state but the evil Canadians stopped them.
It's called character development
Maybe he mellowed out
Also, remember he's established to be a war criminal, and many people have already theorized he might have raped women anyway.
Honest question: what is the difference between conquering, colonizing and annexing meant to be? I thought annexing was when one country chooses to be part of another but in Fallout Canada doesn't really seem happy to be part of the USA but it's still just called an annexation
>conquering
using military force to acquire land >colonizing
normally it is a profit-driven venture to settle >annexing
A country officially voting for the acquisition of land
Forced annexation is when a state forcibly incorporates another entity without the permission of it.
Conquering is when another state destroys the other
Conquering and Annexing is the same thing. Colonizing usually means the colonized country isn't made part of the colonizer's actual administration and is given a separate government subservient to the colonizer
>Conquering and Annexing is the same thing.
tell me you were annexed without telling me you are annexed. Conquest, Forced annexation, colonization, and annexation are all different
This is the canon answer
Canonically Canada was allowing US troops movements into Alaska but the Enclave staged a terrorist attack on an American pipeline and blamed it on Canada.
>still have my completed fo4 file >hardly changed Sgt. Nate Higgers design >used to boot it up just to go on killing sprees with maxed out stats and some mods >this whole time I've been playing the game true to character 100% canonically
t-todd-sama I...I kneel
>the annexation of Canada happened from 2072 to 2077
If we consider Nate as old enough to participate in the conflict from the start, then there's enough time for him to be broken down from a normal patriot into a mass murdering sociopath who would laugh at the death of his enemies, and then to go back home to his wife and child, reforming into "white bread: the person" but now with a secret, intense bloodlust gnawing at him from the inside.
Emil accidentally struck gold with random trivia.
clearly he got hooked up on every single combat chem the US government had access too, and then afterwards they just decided to flush his body with 10 doses of fixer and hoped for the best
>lore accurate Nate
Always picks the sarcasm option.
Always brutally murders enemies, even those who surrender.
Probably joins the BoS so he can relive the glory days of bullying Commonwealth civilians for their grain and probably killing their families as a warning.
No fricks given about ally casualties.
Power armor perks, heavy weapons, bloody mess, idiot savant.
Danse/dogmeat/custom robot companion, they won’t judge him for war crimes.
What does a >canon Nora
look like?
>world without law, order and the Geneva convention >wife dead, can now frick who-ever he pleases >child kidnapped, perfect justification to engage in ultra-violence (not like Nate the Rake needs it)
he is so back.
This IS my Nate no matter how hard anyone wants to piss or moan. Emil is based after all
FRICK TWITTER USERS
FRICK NEW VEGAS TROONS
AND MOST OF ALL
FRICK REDDIT
But that's the fricking problem it's not nate at all, Emil clearly wanted to write a main character but didn't want the backlash so he half assed it and made a sort of blank slate, but not really a blank slate boring as frick character and then years later on twitter says that Nate could've been interesting
I wish Nate was a canadian killing war criminal, but Emil is a hack
Since when do devs play games, you ever get into a match making lobby with a dev in it and proceed to shit on them all game? Devs are almost never gamers, the degree mill wagie grind never gave them time. Education and its consequences has been a disaster for the human race, in the ideal future universities will be defunded and only attended by egg head book writers and anyone with a job will have skipped it entirely.
>Do you know what it feels like to crush someone's head in the gauntlet of a T-60? >It's like squeezing a rotten tomato, you'd be amazed at how easy it is, you'd think all the bone would make it hard but you can only barely feel it. >I saved a lot of ammo that way.
>Nate seeing his fellow Americans after they were subjected to the dreaded Canadian syrupboarding
They were so sticky. He never forgot the smell of maple after that horrific event in the Toronto processing camp.
Johnny was the youngest in our platoon. Said he had a girl waiting for him back home. Course that didn't mean anything to the moose that assaulted us in the dead of winter all hopped up on timbits. We didn't stand a fricking chance. By the time I'd drawn my laser rifle some goddamn Canucks had their hockey sticks against my throat. What were we to do? Go to target? I was a POW at honest ed's for 6 years and saw things that would drive an ordinary man insane.
Nate wasn't distraught that the nukes went off and destroyed the world. He was disappointed he didn't get the chance the push the big red button himself.
>"Honey, is this your speech transcript? I... don't think its appropriate." >"What? Why not?" >"You just wrote down "GAS THE CANUCKS RAKE WAR NOW" 100 times in a row..."
"War....War Never Changes. That's what a Canadian child told me before i put a 10mm right through his dome. I guess war may never change, but damn does it feel good!"
The opening bit is just what war is, and will always be.
The concept of a "war crime" shouldn't exist, or at least should only be limited to any acts against children.
Guys PLEASE stop laughing about this it's obscene, Nate the Rake murdered my dad, raped my mom and scratched out my eyes with one of those shitty plastic rakes it took forever. I'm so glad Emil is finally speaking out against this monster

You Leafs deserve far worse if you ask me. Frick annexation we should have wipe your stupid fake country off the face of this Earth you syrup sipping moose fricker.
Who do you think Nate canonically fricked?
Remember the Bos ending is canon.
It can't be Hanwiener because he's a ghoul.
It could be Curie because she likes the Brotherhood despite being a synth.
>Remember the Bos ending is canon.
I just realized this is true now. Of all the things Bethesda could do, they picked my favorite ending then ruined everything right after, nice.
Anyway, to answer your question, Nate is a volcel grieving his wife forever.
The East Coast BoS reconnected with the West Coast chapter, and that's how it made a comeback in the show.
That is, if you bother to consider the show canon at all.
I see. I only watched the first episode and didn't go any further because it just kept going and going and was boring as frick. The ghoul was a nice introduction though. Does the pacing get any better though?
>Does the pacing get any better though?
Nothing gets better, my man. Watch it like you'd watch a trainwreck or a cartel execution video, just to see how bad it gets.
Honestly I would be totally fine with Nate serving in Canada and murdering leafs. Goes fine with his military background. But the craziest part is Emil just had to pick, from dozens of soldiers shown in previous FO games, the one who was a fricking psycho laughing at a civilian being executed.
he was thinking >UUUHHH REMEMBER THIS GUY? YEAH HE WAS IMPORTANT!
it's exactly like how the guy who ran with a fricking ice cream machine in episode 5 of star wars is a named character with lore
Nate is objectively more interesting than The Courier, The Vault Dweller, The Chosen One, The and Lone wanderer
Nobody played fallout tactics but i heard the Warrior is pretty cool i guess
That's because Nate is a character, unlike the others that are clean slates before their games begin. And judging them by the end of the games is impossible because of the multiple endings and roleplaying of every player. So Nate "wins" by default.
You just don't understand the complexities of new vegas, anon. Sure you a mailman that happens to have handled the most important packages back to back but you also get to walk a giant 'U' and then decide who gets to have the hoover dam!
Nate is the only one who is an actual character. Ironically, the biggest criticism of FO4 (that you couldn't roleplay a blank slate) became it's biggest strength with his one tweet.
>"I will NOT have anything that so much as STINKS of maple in this house, Nora!.." >Shaun starts crying, prompting Codsworth to carry him away to safety, it looks like Master Nate is having one of his unfortunate episodes again.
>Canada? >Yeah, it's the place, to the north you know? We heard there's settlements up there, we're looking to make first contact with them. Would you like to come with? >...Yes. Yes I would.
Minutemen and Railroad at the good endings. BoS and Institute are the bad endings. If you want absolutely pure evil though then clearly the the Nuka World DLC is the one for that.
The only good ending is playing along with the institute long enough to destroy the BoS, then going the minuteman route and destroying the institute then going and clearing out the bunkertrannies. FO4 is extremely based for this ending being possible alone.
>purge entire towns because someones grandma found a toaster
That's the Institute. The BoS just goes around taxing and protecting farmers. Sure they're technology hoarders but they don't misuse it. BoS ending is neutral-to-good ending.
>Sure they're technology hoarders but they don't misuse it.

Maxson said he did it because the knights rebuilt Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire.
That was introduced in Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel. Before that they were just good guys tired of tribals. In Fallout 1 they used to protect the wasteland but gave up on it because the Hub betrayed them.
Bethesda created TES, so if they wanted to burn it all to the ground, a large chunk of fans would see it as their right to do so and maybe even part of the plan. But they didn't create Fallout, they purchased it, and some fans, new and old, will always hold that against them if they do anything to disrespect the lore from before they bought it. Always happens that way, like with Disney and Star Wars, or EA and Dragon Age.
He's a grown man who sits in a office all day making shitty decisions for shitty video games that a huge majority of people hate. If he left twitter he would have 0% interaction with real people besides the troons and women he has to deal with in the office all day.

In a sense, Nate being a neurotic, valueless and bloodthirsty person that can go from charismatic family man to sadistic murderer means he's the perfect embodiment of a player that changes personality on a whim, and switches from passing speech checks to stealing and murdering whenever they feel like it would benefit them
>after the tweet the wiki immediately changed nate description >after the backpedal they go back to the original text
why are fallout schizos like this
"LEAVES could be here" Nate thought. "I've never been in this neighborhood before. There could be LEAVES anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his bare chest, stirring the foliage like so many dead Canadians. "I HATE LEAVES" he thought.
Its gameplay is better than NV/3. The side quests are also pretty good.
Its the main story thats really shite however. Going from NV where you genuinely might side one way or another you'll find the story is hamfisting you in one direction in 4.
you will play 300 hours with the "well i might as well" attitude. its not particularly fun or interesting when you stop to think about what youre doing, but its easy to spend hours on it
it's fallout themed lego fortnite
the plot isn't as bad as 3 and the bugs aren't as bad as NV, the voice acting is excellent. the length of the intro sucks ass and the side quests can get repetitive quickly. character building got nuked for a far more linear progression (you can increase SPECIAL with perk points from leveling up and there is no cap on levels) but as far as a first person arcade shooter it's above average and definitely worth 10 dollars.
as other anons said, it's a fallout themed sandbox, download survival mods, gun mods, and (and maybe some coomer mods), and you can get some fun out of it
>is it worth getting?
Biased answer, but mods are the solution to everything Bethesda related. If you care to mod it, which is fairly easy, you can get as much or as little in extra value out of it as you want. I think they even have entire ready-to-go modlists on Nexus to make things as novice friendly as possible. And these mods include everything from the average tacticool weaponry to large narrative mods like Tales from the Commonwealth and Sim Settlements 2 (I know, it doesn't sound like a narrative mod). So get it if you are willing to mod it.
>Killing Canadians
I can now see why Vault-Tec preselected this glorious specimen just before the nukes dropped.
The Legend of The Rake must survive. The Ghost of Quebec lives on.
Which Raider gangs does Nate the Rake side with?
I always felt like it would the Pack + either Disciples OR Operators. If Nate is a legit psycho, Disciples are perfect
I could see it. Not to mention, he seems to kind of flirt with Mags iirc
Nate wouldn't want some pig fricking savages on his side. He'd clear out Nuka world. If the raiders loot the farms, Nate wouldn't be able to shake them down for BOS money.
Why would Bethesda create an entire expansion pack around being a Raider just to turn around and make it non-canon?
Anyway, I think it could tie into the convo Nate has with Danse about the Minutemen being used as auxiliaries.
If the BoS ending is canon as some of you say, I remember Gage saying that they aren't that different
Nate wouldn't want some pig fricking savages on his side. He'd clear out Nuka world. If the raiders loot the farms, Nate wouldn't be able to shake them down for BOS money.
Should I finally play fallout 4? I've had it and all it's dlc but never got around to playing it.
I played starfield for 26 hours and got bored when I realized the game was never going to let me really do anything fun and the setting is AFTER a cool ass mecha war.
Starfield's backstory was genuinely more interesting than the actual game. It's like the Star Wars sequels. Why didn't they just it during that period.
>Why didn't they just it during that period
Because Todd wanted to focus on the Starborn plot. There is a neat Cold War thing going in between the UC & FC though that is heavily implied to be coming to another dustup
Do you like running around killing things, building shit, crafting and customizing weapons & armor and having stiff mechanical interactions with NPCs as roleplaying? If you answer yes to 2 or 3 of those, you'll probably like it.
Emil has to be going through some sort of manic mid-life crisis or something. He even looks unhinged. Years of npc behavior does wonders to people man.
The food/water shit doesn't matter at all, the combat change is fricking stupid though, you deal a fraction of damage while enemies deal 2x more.
If you play it, get a mod that makes it 2x damage for the player and the enemy. It stops enemies being sponges and you can get one shot pretty easily that way.
SAY HIS NAME

Will Emil keep his job after this?
>Also I better catch you playing Starfield tonight, b***h.
QRD? Why is the FO4 character getting memed?
A designer for Fallout 4 recently stated that Nate was the soldier watching a canadian get executed in the intro to Fallout 1.
Nobody can be that stupid to just randomly make up lore
he's the head writer of fallout 3, skyrim, fallout 4 and starfield
he is that stupid
Nobody but Emil "I've altered the lore, pray I don't alter it again." Pagliarulo.
he can unilaterally change the lore and there's nothing you can do
I can not buy Bethesda games and watch Todd cry because Starfield was so shit it didn’t get a single award, and made Philly Xbox regret his purchase immediately.
I can do that.
they take a lot of joy in the fact that some of their audience are not drooling frickwits, and remember things and are able to make logical reasoinings. because those people are a different species from bethesda writers, so they ragebait them a lot while arbitrarily fricking up their own series. it would be pretty funny if they weren't leftoid homosexuals and genuinely stupid.
>t. Canadian
How can this be the case when Nate wears T-60
and the soldiers in the leaf execution video are wearing T-51
?
That's easy, for killing so many Canadian rebels, Nate was assigned to an elite unit that was provided with the latest version of power armor for the fight in Anchorage.
>belly laugh was a pre-programmed automated process of the armor to boost morale among troops
Quick, you need to tell Emil that, help him out of the hole he's digging for himself.
>laughing outside but crying on the inside
>literally
>Nate silently cried as the power armor forced him into a position that looked like a hearty laugh, and played a recording of him laughing at 120db
>it triggered at the worst possible time
Great solution to Nate Higgers
Because Emil is a hack
Also this literally happens all time, don't question it
The dumbass Emil said on tw*tter he was the soldier from the FO1 opening that is laughing while a Canadian POW gets murdered, seemingly unaware that this makes him a war criminal.
Emil Pag put out a tweet saying that Nate was one of the soldiers from the Fallout 1 intro, where they execute some Canadian citizen during Canada's annexion.
Thanks to Emil, this means that Nate is cemented as a war criminal and probably tortured and killed many Canadians during his service.
While this is incredibly based, it means good luck playing a "good guy" Nate.
In a way, I think a "good guy" Nate is still doable, just make him absolutely deranged and psychotic but in a lawful sense. Sparing no compromise for enemy factions but having no real beef with some average civilian that's still technically "American".
That's pretty much what it has to be, since every ending monologue regardless of ending in 4 seems to imply Nate thinks he did what he did for the greater good.
>tfw Nate was pretty much the perfect Enclave soldier, and was probably gonna get recruited at the Veteran's Hall
Play America Rising btw
>Enclave is getting added to FO4
>ONLY as a one way quest where you destroy them
Every. Fricking. Time. This is why BG3 took every award and Starfield/TES/FO is stuck being last centuries RPG.
larian games are ass good point
Of all the protagonists, you would think an actual pre-war soldier who was part of all that pre-war shit, would be the ideal morally grey choice maker for a potential Enclave joiner thing. Massive missed opportunity to do something interesting, like everything related to FO4
Play America Rising 2 anon
That could actually work, it would explain the schizo voice line you can pic when he meets that chinese sub officer
uhmm wh*te men cant be good guys sweetie
its no surprise
I'm unironically tempted to do a "Emil's Nate" playthrough, just roll up in power armor on some poor wasteland farmer, take all his tatos and shoot his wife.
The only thing missing the is the in-game ability to demand TWICE the tatos the next time you show up, or the farmer's daughter is next.
that's just a standard bos playthrough in fallout 4 though.
Only the ones with a Canadian voice actor
>Nate was one of the guys from the FO1 intro
>Shady Sands getting nuked in the TV show
They really are fricking pissed about the fact Slopout will never be as well received as the original games or NV so they're going full on lore rape to burn it all down so only Emil and Todd's vision of poorly designed guns and le ebin 1950s references remains sut among half-crumbled pre-war buildings remains.
You know Fallout 3 and 4 sold more and reviewed higher than new vegas right. On top of making skyrim which is far more popular and successful than new vegas. Like yeah forum nerds disagree but I don't think they really care
>You know Fallout 3 and 4 sold more and reviewed higher than new vegas right
that was because New Vegas released in a state that was so horrific that it killed the game for a time. only after it was fixed and years went on did people see how good it was
yeah because bethesda games are notably polished lol
you really don't remember it. fallout new vegas on release was in a state that makes release fallout 76 look good in comparison
no it wasn't because I bought new vegas before the dlcs came out on ps3 and barely had issues, unlike skyrim on ps3 which was a fricking disaster and got my save hardlocked due to that marakath prison quest glitching out
Oh just stop it with the unnecessary war between games. No shit the offshoot with limited dev time sold less. Age old and pointless arguing over the exact amount of appeal any of these games had for the average normie.
The lead writer for Bethesda made a retcon that the main character of Fallout 4 was in Fallout 1 (which is stupid since Interplay obviously never had that in mind).
The interesting part is the character Nate (Fallout 4 protagonist) is retconned to be is a war criminal who laughs at his soldier buddy executing a canadian on live tv.
Along with the rest that's been said there's also the fact that Emil apparently saw only the frame where the leaf gets raked or didn't watch the fulĺ cinematic, because he thought the soldier standing by the shooter was stoically standing there "witnessing the horrors of war",
When that soldier begins laughing literally a second later.
We all knew it for decades, but Emil pretty much declared "I never look into the source material lmao" that way.
Not sure I should laugh or get angry
Grim
has any other franchise had its lore and continuity fricked as hard as this
Mortal Kombat which is even worse as Boon was there since the start.
Mortal Kombat does have time travel though, which means retcons can have actual lore reasons and not just "um actually"
Nearly every single one, anon.
Anon, very other long running American franchise has been made a travesty of itself...
Star Trek secretly was fricked harder than all of them.
Warhammer 40k before Games Workshop decided to finally clean some things up for the Primarch's return
lol fallout has been pretty consistent all things considered. Hideo Kojima retconed shit in every game he's made
Dragon ball
LOTR
Warhammer
Dragon ball
Most disney shit
Castlevania
Star trek
Metal Gear
DB
Toriyama created Dragon Ball so they have an excuse
Mass Effect thanks to ME3 and ME2 to a lesser extent.
Those games just expanded on the lore.
Andromeda straight up nuked the setting
Kek. Fricking the lore? How? The lore has been constantly evolving. Its time to let a almost thirty year old game go.
Warcraft has been known for retcons and this kind of stuff for decades.
Disney nuked the entire EU to replace it with inferior versions of the same stupid ideas
Marvel and DC are basically malformed monsters of three different continuity reboots and writers trying to retcon each other
It’s good shit. He’ll still get away with it because Bethesda lmao.
I mean to be perfectly fair Nate wakes up in post apocalyptic America then immediately starts killing raiders and ghouls and cryptids without blinking. In retrospect he was always kind of fricked up in the head.
>My WIFE is DEEEEAD, oh shit I found this minigun, sweet
>My wife is dead, and if I can't have my wife, no one can.
>I'll cry when I'm done killing!
That’s just called being an american
Same energy as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVRb2Vh7OXE
You wake up as a soldier and someone shoots at you, you're going to shoot back instantly. That is neither good nor bad, its just reactionary.
Considering
This is exactly what happened.
Emil is a loser who can't write for shit and has no interest on anything he actually does work on but has a perma-job and immunity because he's been best friends with TODD since high school. Reminder that he's the reason Fallout 76 is complete garbage too since he was the one in charge of the game and by all accounts basically didn't give a shit about it, never listened to developer or tester feedback and allowed the game to launch in it's shit state because he was more concerned about making sure the in-game store functioned properly.
Except he can write, many quests in Oblivion, Fallout 3, and their respective dlc prove that he can.
He just sees no point in trying if people skip your content
>many quests in Oblivion, Fallout 3, and their respective dlc prove that he can
LOL
>b-but the dark brotherhood!
was only good for its gameplay, the story was trash and stupid.
>fulĺ
I thought my screen was dirty, homosexual
You asked him if he watched the full cinematic? Also these literally were never given any identity inside their power armors. Him doing it younger doesnt mean your character waking up in the vault couldnt regret it.
laughing at dead Canadians IS morally good lmao. Frick leafs.
Why did Emil do this? Is he unironically a compulsive liar?
>"...and just like war, killing Canadians never changes, it's always hilarious..." -Nate, decorated war veteran
>I'm not going to a BBQ with some FRICKING, MAPLE-SLURPING CANUCK, NORA!
HATE CANADA
Makes my first FO4 playthrough, where I sided with the BOS and killed every mutant and degenerate living being even more rewarding
why is everyone sperging out about this? Nate can still be a morally good character, it's not like he killed a human being, just a canadian
Lul

>Slaughters hundreds of canadians, moose and maple trees to the point the government give him a free vault spot

Nate Fallout is absolutely cooked
>Sees his son now an old man, decides to kill him and level his organisation because the institute was originally the MIT and probably has the last few canadian scientists there
This, Mate probably saw how much of a pansy, commie, pathetic excuse for an American his son had become and decided that him and the rest of the wasteland wasn't worth saving.

Shit, this might work. Maybe Emil isn't that bad.
No backpedaling now, sweaty
Maybe Emil should have put a minute worth of effort in and seen what scene he was saying that Nate was in, but I don't think Emil has put a minute worth of effort into anything considering Bethesda games.
this man is legitimately stupid
>this man is legitimately stupid
no shit?

Um sweaty ghouls can live for centuries in a refrigerator because ghouls aren't real. I think the only idiot is the one taking video games seriously. Check mate, chudski.

What a fricking joke, lol.
Calling John Fallout a war criminal was funny too.
wait he was serious?
>Not every bit of Fallout info I share is automatically canon.
this is worse than pete hines
To be fair when Kirkbride does it everyone loves it
He usually starts out with a post like "what if the ancient nords practiced ritualized orgies" and takes it from there
I mean he hasnt been an employee for like twenty years. even being the father of the ideas he doesnt have agency over new information
>laughing while a Canadian gets gunned down was a unknown horror
i don't think participating in a war crime an enjoying it is unkown Emil
Backpedaling cuck
>Whatever you think it is is canon
That is NOT how fricking canon works you absolute hack of a loser. Holy fricking shit these people.
Could you fricking imagine Tolkien going
>So the Orcs are evil, unless you think they're just innocent and misunderstood then thats the canon!
I mean, it's pretty clearly different
LOTR is a series of books
Fallout is a series of RPG that insert new lore, factions and characters every game
>you have lots of headcanon
>except how we wrote 90% of the canon for your character so you don't actually get to make it for your character
>you're world
Opinion discarded.
>He does something nearly everyone likes
>Tries to backpedal
lmao hack frick.
>i-i was merely pretending to be moronic!!
Needs to lay off the skooma
>not every bit of fallout info I share is automatically canon"
does that mean this isnt canon?
Absolute bonehead.
>When you're
He's a writer btw
There's a clip of him from a stream I think where you can see Emil typing, he can only do hunt-and-peck typing, having to look at the keyboard to find each key. Despite being a professional writer.
>when you are world building
This is correct.
Worldbuilding isn't writing.
A game can have great writing and shit world building like Dragon Ball
anon is just american, they only know elementary level english
>is unironically a non-American
shut the frick up, inferior
nope, mutt
>nate is NOT a war criminal
fricking love how this gay of course back tracks the only based thing he has ever or will ever say. cant wait to rake some frickin leaves in world war threes lets fricking GOOOOOOOOOOOO
He got harassed for it
>warcrime
>against canadians
No such thing
Nate's canon last name is Higgens
Emil is either a huge idiot or an incredible troll. There is no other option.
Unironically would have been easier to walk this back if it was Nate shooting the guy and he was just in bloodlust mode then snapped out of it to wave to the cameraman.
Him being the guy who LAUGHS as he witnesses a POW get shot in the back of the head is pretty concrete.
Maybe nate has a split personality. Switching between placid nate and raider nate like how the music changes during combat
>The scene in the character creation, isn't about choosing between Nate and Nora, but actually which personality you want
>Making a save before wiping out everyone in Diamond City is now canon.
>It's just Nate disassociating, or having an intense PTSD episode where he murders everyone.
>Then he suddenly snaps back to reality, he's sitting at a bar enjoying some noodles, everything is normal.
>It never happened, but he knows it could.
This is a good point, I like the idea of Nate being a terrifying, bloodthirsty and incredibly patriotic soldier during his early years. A legend, the perfect soldier, a Canadian's worst nightmare.
Once he gets home he settles down, marries Nora, has a son. He's starting to heal and leave his past behind.
But then one day, the bombs fall, he gets stuck in a vault. Then someone kills his wife, kidnaps his son.
The old Nate is back, the Institute doesn't know how badly they fricked up.
A "good" Emil Nate is lawful evil or a very dark lawful neutral. He's a ruthless Knight, a Minuteman General who's basically a barely principled warlord, a sociopathic director with something approaching good intentions, and a hardhearted smuggler that desires freedom over everything else, even death. An "evil" Emil Nate is basically just a one man army raider.
Base roleplayer
I think being able to physically laugh in power armor is stupid as frick anyway. It's like being able to 'see me laugh' inside a tank.
He was just laughing that hard.
I don't think you understand just how funny he thinks dead Canadians are.
I don't understand how Emil thought this would make Nate look somehow better. Even if he's not actually laughing, it still means Nate is permissive with warcrimes. Shooting a POW like that is evil, sure, but it's banal. Everyone can fall into it if they're thinking about. LAUGHING at someone's death takes real, malicious evil. I will always trust a guy who does it because he's "following orders" than the absolute nutcase who actually enjoys it.
you have to realize and a lot of people need to realize is that sometimes those in charge of lore are moronic. He probably thought that him not being the one shooting the gun means he is a good guy
his suit was malfunctioning
Unbelievable how moronic this guy is. It seriously blows my mind that he was in charge of anything
>Emil spews out some moronic shit
>Ganker runs with it
To be fair it actually makes the main character somewhat interesting
This. The biggest complaint Ganker had with FO4 was that the main character had his own personality so you can't roleplay, but he was also boring as frick. This retroactively makes him more interesting.
if you aren't some dorky super serious loregays, emil is unintentionally the funniest writer. all the retcons he makes are so stupid and batshit. We just got the NCR nuked out of canon and Nate the Rake. I can't wait to see what else he fricks up in fallout 5
it'd be funny if it had no effect on something i actually care about
don't be a pussy, it's a video game
>something i actually care about
this is the most pathetic post I've read in a very long time.
NOOOOOO DONT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING
yeah but its not like im crying myself to sleep because he ruined it, its more like 'now i have to see these homosexuals on the internet being moronic for yet more years about it'
>this consumer product and fictional events, it meant a lot to me
what board do you think you're on, gaylord
Yeah you can enjoy video games and talk about video games because you have fun with them, crying about lore shit is sad though
>im not crying over it
>wow you care?
>everyone here cares about video games
>yeah but theyre not crying over it
homosexual AND ESL on top of it
if you're that stick up in the butt about inconsequential factors like dates and a random character's backstory, you're a cry baby, that's just a fact even if you say otherwise
i didnt make the original post, homosexualron
do you just assume every post that you dont make in a reply chain is one guy?
there's nothing here that demonstrates you're not the same guy
you've already admitted to be a consoom-tard that sobs b***h tears over a gay video game series. there is no 'putting the genie back in the bottle' for that. while we're trying to have a laugh you are being a cry-baby. frick you. i hate you.
cry more
With how terrible the show was/is, Nate being canonized into a blood thirsty war criminal is a breath of fresh air.
Honestly, another way to walk it back coild've been
>Nate was high as frick on Psycho at the time, the army just gave the soldiers a ton of drugs to see what would happen, he and the shooter were basically barey sentient raiders
He would've come home addicted if he was taking psycho in the war
Just get unaddicted bro, it's that easy.

No rake but we got this from one of the threads today

The comment section on Nexus is gold.
This is fricking hilarious. This single stupid comment actually made the fallout 4 protagonist into an interesting character.
Well, one of them anyway. Nora at the very worst when it comes to speculation is a huge bawd.
What's that about nora
She fricked Nate in a public park and got pregnant
Nate "Canadian Destroyer" Sombra
>Emil accidentally makes Nate interesting
>pussies out
It's like watching prolific family-values theatre actor do a shitty movie, the get arrested on live TV for accicdentally running over the femboy Thai hooker he hired to peg him. I'd be funny except you're an actual Fallout fan watching this in realtime
kill Canadians, behead Canadian, roundhouse kick Canadian into the concrete, slam dunk a Canadian baby into the trash can, crucify filthy Canadian, defecate into Canadians food, launch Canadian into the sun, stir fry Canadians in a wok, toss Canadians into active volcanoes, urinate into Canadian's gas tank, Judo throw Canadians into a wood chipper, twist Canadians heads off, report Canadians to the IRS, karate chop Canadians in half, curb stomp pregnant Canadians, trap Canadians in quicksand, Crush Canadians in the trash compactor, liquify Canadians in a vat of acid, eat Canadians, dissect Canadians, exterminate Canadians in the gas chamber, stomp Canadians skulls with steel-toed boots, cremate Canadians in the oven, lobotomized Canadians, mandatory abortions for Canadians, grind Canadian fetuses in the garbage disposal, drown Canadians in fried chicken grease, vaporize Canadians with a raygun, kick old Canadians down the stairs, feed Canadians to alligators, slice Canadians with a katana.
unironically best thing Emil has done in years. It now makes complete sense how easily Nate was able to adapt to the apocalypse. He's a maniac that was waiting for the justification to go batshit on American soil the whole time.
If only the game actually let's you rp as a lunatic
It does in Nuka World if you go raider, but then it essentially doesn't make sense with the main game's endings cause no matter what ending you get Nate seems to think he's a good guy working towards a brighter future.
My Nate took over the Institute and basically only uses the surface world as his personal playground
You just know Nora's panties are practically SOAKING whenever Nate tells her war stories.
sociopath family
makes sense why the son grew up to be the head of a science supremacist movement, the psychosis was part of the family
Man, Shaun was always fricked, no matter the situation. He probably would have the best life if Kellogg just adopted him and frick off from the Commonwealth.
kellogg was wasted in fallout 4, truly
that he shot nate or nora in the vault when they wouldnt give up the baby after 3 seconds of struggle was pure contrivance

It's from the Art of Fallout 4
Originally fo4 was supposed to be a game like Mass Effect where you play a character like Commander Shepard instead of a blank slate. It was also Male only.
Anyway they listed last names for Nate and Nora.
That was Nate's.
Nora's was israeli but I can't remember it.
>Nora's was israeli
Frick now I want to create Abby Shapiro in FO4
Post her porn
Abby is NOT for lewds!
Didn't she get an abortion?
It aborted itself when it found out it was going to be israeli
She had a miscarriage, not the same thing.
I mean a vaccine induced abortion is still an abortion
"In this house Nate is a hero. End of story"
How did he have time to circle the dude in MS paint but didn't have the time to watch the entire 12 second clip?
I'm pretty sure even gen alpha kids have better attention spans than that.
would Nora still love him if she knew just how many leaf women were raped by the Nate "the Leaf Mulcher" Fallout?
Of course, that's just boys being boys.
she shlicked herself into a stupor every time Nate sent home a chinkoid skull as a present

It's not murder, it's liberation and defending democracy from the communists in your country

What's that? The new neighbors are into honey flavored BBC and Warren Beatty has candida?
>KKKanadian POWs are still resisting? Leave them to me!
Canon isn't real. Just stop listening to people that hate you for buying their products.
How does Emil even still have a job?
Because people cant stop themselves from giving money to Bethesda.
Because he wrote Oblivion's beloved guild quests
>Fighter's Guild was okay
>Thieves' Guild was good
>Mages' Guild was god-awful
>Dark Brotherhood was good for the first half, god awful for the latter
Really? That's it.
He also was a writer and designer for Thief (the original not the reboot).
He was a major 90s video-game journalist in his spare time.
It seems his soul left when he lost weight
Emil's done good stuff, some genuinely cool concepts for quests and factions are his doing, but he seriously needs to be kept on a leash. If he's allowed to frick something up, he will.
True
Iirc, he created the concept for Nick Valentine, then delegated his development to the guy who would end up designing Far Harbror
I think the new fallout show is very based. its giving me the feels and making me wanna play it again
Sounds like you need to follow it up with an Emil-approved, lore-accurate Nate playthrough.
The TV show also confirmed the Brotherhood ending
>instead of guessing who might be a synth, it's guessing who might be Canadian and erring on the side of caution 10 out of 10 times.
I also really liked the show, more than the games stories.
I think its probably better than any of the Fallout games and I fricking wish any of them lived up to this level of representation of the wasteland and factionalism. NV gets close, but even that is tame in comparison to how fricked the show to its MC and characters.
The Brotherhood guy is unbearable though, bad acting and trash weak energy.

Fallout 4 is one of the shittiest games ever made, marked the death of Fallout for me
Leaf detected
have you actually played any bad video games? like the worst near triple a game that i can think of is final doom. it was made by fans of doom but that doesnt excuse the fact that they charged money for that sack of shit.
Does anyone have the pasta where Nate tells Shaun to shut up because he'll never know what it's like to kill canadians? That shit was hilarious.
>Oh, you're sad because a synth girl at your little institute ran away? Shaun, when you were barely cum in my ballsack, I left school to bullseye syrupBlack folk with a chambered .308 Bozar wearing t-51b in a cold and barren hellhole.
>Don't tell me you have it rough, you limpy, kissless prat. You have my permission to be sad when you've walked life in my shoes -- when you have to leave behind the supple big tittied canuck milf you fell in love with and made passionate steamy love to in her FEMA tent, just like I did.
>You think I felt good about firebombing her leaf village and watching our frick-tent burn to the ground? We were going to build our lives together there, Shaun! You know what? Frick you. Get the frick out of my settlement.
Nevermind I found it
You're not gonna believe this. He killed sixteen croations. Guy was an army barber.
his settlement looked like shit
>me playing fallout 4 wiith a 300 mods list and it's still shit
Have to tried Enclave Rising 2
Also the game is best with settlement building, shame they took that message with Starfield
impossible, he would've immediately scrapped that Quebecois prostitute Curie if it were true
Nothing shows true dominance like fricking a Canadian women, also you can just pretend that she is a French woman that was taught how to speak French wrong
She's also a robot
Someone will probably commission art for this, but most likely it's just going to be soulless ai slop
America went into Canada to defend the quebecois from the evil canadians. Hell I bet Quebec wanted to become a US state but the evil Canadians stopped them.
It's called character development
Maybe he mellowed out
Also, remember he's established to be a war criminal, and many people have already theorized he might have raped women anyway.
>Nate raped so many women back in Montreal he can only get hard to French accents
Curie is a robot, they don't count.
like you homosexuals wouldn't bust a gut laughing if you had the opportunity to cleanse the pajeet-chink colony that is modern Canada
Calm down fully cannon and lore accurate Nate Sombra
It's 50s Canada so it's mostly white
Have you ever wondered why there's no sort mutant Moose in the wasteland besides a handful of rumors? I guess we know now
Honest question: what is the difference between conquering, colonizing and annexing meant to be? I thought annexing was when one country chooses to be part of another but in Fallout Canada doesn't really seem happy to be part of the USA but it's still just called an annexation
>conquering
using military force to acquire land
>colonizing
normally it is a profit-driven venture to settle
>annexing
A country officially voting for the acquisition of land
Forced annexation is when a state forcibly incorporates another entity without the permission of it.
Conquering is when another state destroys the other
Conquering and Annexing is the same thing. Colonizing usually means the colonized country isn't made part of the colonizer's actual administration and is given a separate government subservient to the colonizer
>Conquering and Annexing is the same thing.
tell me you were annexed without telling me you are annexed. Conquest, Forced annexation, colonization, and annexation are all different
The U.S. government called it an annexation because they're were being dishonest.
This is the canon answer
Canonically Canada was allowing US troops movements into Alaska but the Enclave staged a terrorist attack on an American pipeline and blamed it on Canada.
"annexing" is conquering with better PR
Annexation is (mostly) voluntary.
Meant to refer it to FO's version of 'annexation'.
Nate "mow down Montreal" Sombra
>still have my completed fo4 file
>hardly changed Sgt. Nate Higgers design
>used to boot it up just to go on killing sprees with maxed out stats and some mods
>this whole time I've been playing the game true to character 100% canonically
t-todd-sama I...I kneel
>the annexation of Canada happened from 2072 to 2077
If we consider Nate as old enough to participate in the conflict from the start, then there's enough time for him to be broken down from a normal patriot into a mass murdering sociopath who would laugh at the death of his enemies, and then to go back home to his wife and child, reforming into "white bread: the person" but now with a secret, intense bloodlust gnawing at him from the inside.
Emil accidentally struck gold with random trivia.
the apocalypse was the best thing that ever happened to him.
He still lost wife and son.
Nate is still distraught by the loss of his family.
Is he? Nate immediately gets sidetracked with massacring raiders, faction bullshit and fricking the local robot/reporter/meth-head
I love the idea of the Old Nate.
A reformed war criminal going back to his roots
clearly he got hooked up on every single combat chem the US government had access too, and then afterwards they just decided to flush his body with 10 doses of fixer and hoped for the best
I love Emil's headcanon
Except FO4 has 0 evidence of this so it isn't in fact canon.
>so it isn't in fact canon
Sorry man, papi emilio has already spoken. No turning back the clock.
>lore accurate Nate
Always picks the sarcasm option.
Always brutally murders enemies, even those who surrender.
Probably joins the BoS so he can relive the glory days of bullying Commonwealth civilians for their grain and probably killing their families as a warning.
No fricks given about ally casualties.
Power armor perks, heavy weapons, bloody mess, idiot savant.
Danse/dogmeat/custom robot companion, they won’t judge him for war crimes.
What does a
>canon Nora
look like?
High charisma to talk juries into letting her husband off scott free
>2077 Enclave-d America
>ever putting a TRVE patriot like Nate on trial
lol
lmao
Some of you guys are alright. Don't go to Canada tomorrow.
Any mod that lets you nuke Canada as the canon F4 ending yet?
i really like Nate now that his true nature has been revealed
the trailer only shows his back before his ecstatic andbloodthirsty grin at seeing the new world would be too frightening
the trailer only shows his back before his massive hardon slaughtering innocents would be too arousing for female viewers.
>world without law, order and the Geneva convention
>wife dead, can now frick who-ever he pleases
>child kidnapped, perfect justification to engage in ultra-violence (not like Nate the Rake needs it)
he is so back.
My american heroes
>Half-Life 2 Combine laugh.mp3
>Nate laughs at killing of Canadian
>looks at camera and 'sup's
Godspeed, boys
This IS my Nate no matter how hard anyone wants to piss or moan. Emil is based after all
FRICK TWITTER USERS
FRICK NEW VEGAS TROONS
AND MOST OF ALL
FRICK REDDIT
But that's the fricking problem it's not nate at all, Emil clearly wanted to write a main character but didn't want the backlash so he half assed it and made a sort of blank slate, but not really a blank slate boring as frick character and then years later on twitter says that Nate could've been interesting
I wish Nate was a canadian killing war criminal, but Emil is a hack
You can have your head cannon be whatever you want. Its an RPG homie.
>waaaaaaaaaaah video games!!
I literally don't care about your whining lol
As far as I care Nate can toss you on the pile with the rest of the leaves
So you're telling me the lead writer for Bethesda never played Fallout 1, let alone watched the intro? Absolute clown world.
Considering the lore established in the show he was probably happy about it
Since when do devs play games, you ever get into a match making lobby with a dev in it and proceed to shit on them all game? Devs are almost never gamers, the degree mill wagie grind never gave them time. Education and its consequences has been a disaster for the human race, in the ideal future universities will be defunded and only attended by egg head book writers and anyone with a job will have skipped it entirely.
To be fair we know for a fact Todd did
What the frick? Ganker never told me Nate was so based.
Nate the Rake does it again
Played FMC years ago
It's time for a kino Nate run
It's so funny and disheartening that Emil is in charge of writing Fallout.
I'm honestly glad that the boys at Ganker can turn even the stupidest things to happen to a game into something we can still laugh at
I've been loving the whole show/Nate retcon purely from all the memes
>Nate's face when Piper asks for an interview of what the war in Canada and China was like
>"So how did it feel to kill other people?"
>"I wouldn't know. I only killed canadians."
>what's a canadian?
>smaller versions of the super mutants that are around here actually
>let's just say, I got around a lot
>>Nate's face when Piper asks for an interview of what the war in Canada and China was like
>Do you know what it feels like to crush someone's head in the gauntlet of a T-60?
>It's like squeezing a rotten tomato, you'd be amazed at how easy it is, you'd think all the bone would make it hard but you can only barely feel it.
>I saved a lot of ammo that way.
>Nate seeing his fellow Americans after they were subjected to the dreaded Canadian syrupboarding
They were so sticky. He never forgot the smell of maple after that horrific event in the Toronto processing camp.
Johnny was the youngest in our platoon. Said he had a girl waiting for him back home. Course that didn't mean anything to the moose that assaulted us in the dead of winter all hopped up on timbits. We didn't stand a fricking chance. By the time I'd drawn my laser rifle some goddamn Canucks had their hockey sticks against my throat. What were we to do? Go to target? I was a POW at honest ed's for 6 years and saw things that would drive an ordinary man insane.
Nate wasn't distraught that the nukes went off and destroyed the world. He was disappointed he didn't get the chance the push the big red button himself.
I'm starting to get a little concerned about just what Nate wrote for his complete speech at the veteran hall
>"Honey, is this your speech transcript? I... don't think its appropriate."
>"What? Why not?"
>"You just wrote down "GAS THE CANUCKS RAKE WAR NOW" 100 times in a row..."
Nora married him for eyes
Not his intelligence
"War....War Never Changes. That's what a Canadian child told me before i put a 10mm right through his dome. I guess war may never change, but damn does it feel good!"
NOOOOOOOOO SAAARRRRRR DO NOT REDEEM THE POWERED ARMOR
You hear some of it in the opening
Canada only got worse after all the mass-immigration. I just did what had to be done.
But Nate, the person your friend killed in the
video was white?
He voted for it
A Canadian is still a Canadian.
>white Canadian
even worse somehow
>Who said anything about the white race
>white Canadian
nonexistent
>laughed at Canadians (American allies') being executed
imagine the shit he got up to in China.

LEAF EMIL AND THE CANADIANS ALONE YOU CHUDS
too bad there's no flags on Ganker yet
when the frick are they gonna put flags and IDs on every board?
The opening bit is just what war is, and will always be.
The concept of a "war crime" shouldn't exist, or at least should only be limited to any acts against children.
Guys PLEASE stop laughing about this it's obscene, Nate the Rake murdered my dad, raped my mom and scratched out my eyes with one of those shitty plastic rakes it took forever. I'm so glad Emil is finally speaking out against this monster
What was he thinking when he made that insensitive yet hardy laugh?
>murdered my dad
liberated him from being canadian
raped my mom
cleansed your mother's soul
>scratched out my eyes with one of those shitty plastic rakes
KEK
You Leafs deserve far worse if you ask me. Frick annexation we should have wipe your stupid fake country off the face of this Earth you syrup sipping moose fricker.
Who do you think Nate canonically fricked?
Remember the Bos ending is canon.
It can't be Hanwiener because he's a ghoul.
It could be Curie because she likes the Brotherhood despite being a synth.
All of them
Is Nate bi though?
All of them as in all of the women. Hence the pic
sorry my headcanon is the real canon and I said no, emil seems to agree with that line of logic
>Fricked Piper
>Killed Cait
>Married Curie
>Remember the Bos ending is canon.
I just realized this is true now. Of all the things Bethesda could do, they picked my favorite ending then ruined everything right after, nice.
Anyway, to answer your question, Nate is a volcel grieving his wife forever.
how is the bos canon? The minuteman is definitely the canon ending it's just the one where nate felt benevolent enough to spare the brotherhood.
The East Coast BoS reconnected with the West Coast chapter, and that's how it made a comeback in the show.
That is, if you bother to consider the show canon at all.
I see. I only watched the first episode and didn't go any further because it just kept going and going and was boring as frick. The ghoul was a nice introduction though. Does the pacing get any better though?
>Does the pacing get any better though?
Nothing gets better, my man. Watch it like you'd watch a trainwreck or a cartel execution video, just to see how bad it gets.
The Show repeatedly references it
However, as Emil said there is no canon
Honestly I would be totally fine with Nate serving in Canada and murdering leafs. Goes fine with his military background. But the craziest part is Emil just had to pick, from dozens of soldiers shown in previous FO games, the one who was a fricking psycho laughing at a civilian being executed.
What the FRICK was he thinking?
>What the FRICK was he thinking?
uhhhhh he wasnt, thats his trademark
he was thinking
>UUUHHH REMEMBER THIS GUY? YEAH HE WAS IMPORTANT!
it's exactly like how the guy who ran with a fricking ice cream machine in episode 5 of star wars is a named character with lore
>make a black character
>call him Hood
BRAVO GEORGE
>What the FRICK was he thinking?
>"Wouldn't it be cool if Fallout 4 was tied to Fallout 1? That way, people will also stop saying we hate the old games!"
I hope the plebs bother tim enough that he makes a video about it.
>out of dozens of soldiers he picked the psycho
At least we all get a laugh out of it. Fallout 4 isn't something I was taking seriously to begin with.
People pointed out the Twitter thread about didn't he just pick the cover guy who appears on the TV
Nate is objectively more interesting than The Courier, The Vault Dweller, The Chosen One, The and Lone wanderer
Nobody played fallout tactics but i heard the Warrior is pretty cool i guess
Emil achieves in one tweet what he wasn't able to across three games, making an interesting protagonist
And then immediately tries to backpedal
too late, no one here will forget Nate the Canuck Crusher so soon.
The Wiki autists even put it on his wiki so it'll never be forgotten
Nate is an actual character so that isn't fair
No puzzle required
That's because Nate is a character, unlike the others that are clean slates before their games begin. And judging them by the end of the games is impossible because of the multiple endings and roleplaying of every player. So Nate "wins" by default.
To be fair before this Nate was a very boring character mostly known for hating newspapers and maybe being a synth
You just don't understand the complexities of new vegas, anon. Sure you a mailman that happens to have handled the most important packages back to back but you also get to walk a giant 'U' and then decide who gets to have the hoover dam!
Depends on the ending.
You can turn the Brotherhood into the Enclave which is incredibly cool
Honestly if the intention was to make Nate some sort of War hero that had PTSD over what he did it would have made him more interesting
Nate is the only one who is an actual character. Ironically, the biggest criticism of FO4 (that you couldn't roleplay a blank slate) became it's biggest strength with his one tweet.
>Nate when he learns what his guitar was made of
>Nate when the waitress asks him if he wants syrup on his waffles
>"I will NOT have anything that so much as STINKS of maple in this house, Nora!.."
>Shaun starts crying, prompting Codsworth to carry him away to safety, it looks like Master Nate is having one of his unfortunate episodes again.
He is really carrying him away because Nora see's all this an is getting visibly aroused
Frick Todd's moronic Friend, post cool power armor
Hey, is Miami out? Is it any good?
Mark Meer should have been Nate.
What is the relation between the Batarian hegemony and the State of Canada
>"Why don't we ask the new guy?"
>"Do you support Canada?"
>HATE CANADA
>>"Do you support Canada?"
>Canada?
>Yeah, it's the place, to the north you know? We heard there's settlements up there, we're looking to make first contact with them. Would you like to come with?
>...Yes. Yes I would.
Why, yes. I do support big boobs.
Nate would have a field day with Shawn Michaels
Based Nate, Canadians get put up against the wall
can you even play a properly evil bastard in 4 and does it even compare to Evil Courier or Lone Wanderer?
You can become a psycho raider and rule over the settlements you made in the commonwealth with the nuka-world dlc.
Nuka World was literally created because of the backlash to having no evil choices. Even the Institute was whitewashed to have no wrong doing.
Minutemen and Railroad at the good endings. BoS and Institute are the bad endings. If you want absolutely pure evil though then clearly the the Nuka World DLC is the one for that.
The only good ending is playing along with the institute long enough to destroy the BoS, then going the minuteman route and destroying the institute then going and clearing out the bunkertrannies. FO4 is extremely based for this ending being possible alone.
But in FO4 BoS are the good guys
>bunkertrannies
haha railroad btfo'd
>BoS
>Bad
How?
BoS are literally a bunch of egotistical technology hoarders who purge entire towns because someones grandma found a toaster
>purge entire towns because someones grandma found a toaster
That's the Institute. The BoS just goes around taxing and protecting farmers. Sure they're technology hoarders but they don't misuse it. BoS ending is neutral-to-good ending.
>Sure they're technology hoarders but they don't misuse it.
Anon the entire point of the BoS is they're evil.
>the entire point of the BoS is they're evil
How? What's the evil thing they do to be considered evil?
Play FO4
The only evil thing they actually do is practice serfdom
I have, several times, haven't seen them do anything evil other than tax people that they protect. Establishing feudalism to secure order is hardly a bad thing
Like seriously I can't think of anything bad they do besides serfdom which you basically do already
I wouldn't even call it serfdom as they don't lay claim to the land itself. They show up at people's doorsteps, promise protection and ask for supplies in return. They're in no way evil.
>They show up at people's doorsteps, promise protection and ask for supplies in return.
yeah, like the Mafia
They don't extort people though. The mafia promised "protection" from bad things they caused, so paying them was to keep them from hurting you. The BoS doesn't hurt anyone and people seem to be okay with them taking the burden of fighting all the creatures in the Commonwealth
its obvious the morons you're replying too haven't played fo4 as bos in a long long time. I recently did the food procurement missions and the charisma check is literally mafia extortion.
>you've got a nice farm.
>it would be a *SHAME* if something was to happen to it
>but us, the bos, can protect it if you *SUPPLY US* with your crops
The Commonwealth is a dangerous place
>RPG gives you the option to accomplish a goal for a faction in an evil way
>that means every person involved in the faction as well as the faction itself are evil to its core, even if the supply dude tells you the rules don't approve strongarming the locals
moron
What does it say about an organization if it recruits and empowers bullies and corrupted officials?
You fascist boot-licking c**t.
it also doesn't help that the guy giving you missions isn't following procedure though if you question him about it. It's just typical corruption and not a reflection as an organization as a whole because even the captain isn't privy to his bullshit because he tells you not to snitch on him about not paying the settlers for the procurements.
Tell the devs that
Most people know about the Brotherhoof from Tactics, 3, NV, and 4 where their backstory is they used to be evil
What led the US Military to turn back to fricking feudalism anyways?
Maxson said he did it because the knights rebuilt Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire.
Fallout 4's Bos are cool
That was introduced in Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel. Before that they were just good guys tired of tribals. In Fallout 1 they used to protect the wasteland but gave up on it because the Hub betrayed them.
In 2 they don't try to stop the Enclave. They're like "tough shit, go ask the Hubologists or Shi lol"
Nate probably jerked off to the memory of disintigrating Canadians with laser crits
BOS was made for Nate now
I wonder if todd saw the tweet and went berserk
his face is too far buried in linda carter breasts to care, anon.
>caring about fallout 4 "lore" and roleplaying when the story was absolute fricking dogshit to begin with
story aside the gameplay was fun though. who cares about story in a looter shooter anyways? well, except a b***h like you of course.
Seriously the game is fun as frick.
All you need is an addicting loop
The story is just an excuse to justify traveling from A to B looting and building shit
it's the nate-ural way of life
How many Canuke-American half breeds Nate has running around in Canada?
Canada doesn't exist anon, it is New New England
I believe they are called "métis"
emil is having a mental breakdown, lmao
He should just admit that he likes the attention. Fricking prostitute. Todd doesn't need a single social media account.
can't imagine dealing with fallout fans, i don't think i ever seen elder scrolls fans give him nearly as much shit
That's because Elder Scrolls have Dragon Breaks to explain away any bullshit
damn if only they could do alternate timelines on an alternate history franchise
Who by just saying that the in game writer was a moron
They're too busy praising him for the Dark Brotherhood questline
Elder Scrolls fans are too busy actually playing the games rather than whining on the internet.
Bethesda created TES, so if they wanted to burn it all to the ground, a large chunk of fans would see it as their right to do so and maybe even part of the plan. But they didn't create Fallout, they purchased it, and some fans, new and old, will always hold that against them if they do anything to disrespect the lore from before they bought it. Always happens that way, like with Disney and Star Wars, or EA and Dragon Age.
Elder Scrolls fans are too busy cooming to modded Skyrim
the esoteric insanity of TES lore is mostly confined to the books so it's more difficult to frick it up hard.
TES lore is all in-universe and has the benefit of the doubt
We'd have to actually get something TES related to complain about in the first place.
Todd sent him the text
>Maybe i should leave, then i remember all the Canadians on this site and realize my work isn't done
As someone who uses this same type of excuse for Ganker, I recognize a fellow addict when I see one.
He's a grown man who sits in a office all day making shitty decisions for shitty video games that a huge majority of people hate. If he left twitter he would have 0% interaction with real people besides the troons and women he has to deal with in the office all day.
He's just overwhelmed by the dopamine from the attention
>Bethesda
>fans
not any more moron
I served with Sgt. Higgers during the Vancouver campaign. The man was never right in the head. One day he lined up a whole family of Canuck civvies and beat them all to death with hockey sticks, one after the other.
Sick frick.
Nora must have been a hell of a lawyer to get him off of several canuke war crimes charges.
America would have given him a medal.
In a sense, Nate being a neurotic, valueless and bloodthirsty person that can go from charismatic family man to sadistic murderer means he's the perfect embodiment of a player that changes personality on a whim, and switches from passing speech checks to stealing and murdering whenever they feel like it would benefit them
>the puck stops here, filthy leaf
>You wont LIVE to see a Stanley cup you fricking leave
>after the tweet the wiki immediately changed nate description
>after the backpedal they go back to the original text
why are fallout schizos like this
>Emil went from helping to create kino like Thief 1/2 to raping TES and Fallout lore
The frick happened to him?
What's his buddy's name? The guy who shoots the filthy leaf.
Col. Rakemall
Cooper Howard
Private Leif Raker
perfect
He was handpicked by the Enclave from an early age due to how much he bullied Canadian kids for saying "abooot" and frenchies for having "gay accents"
Sgt. Ralph "Unload my 10 in the Canadian pigpen" Charles
Curie can fix him.
Does Nate hate the French or does he just hate English Canadians
Curie pretends to be French to soothe Nate's hatred towards to Canadian menace
Curie and Cait are just foreign side pieces.
Piper is the hot-blooded American woman, Nate marries.
Cait makes more sense if you want to lean into Nate's origins
>marries ~~*journalist*~~
Nate obviously marries Codsworth
"LEAVES could be here" Nate thought. "I've never been in this neighborhood before. There could be LEAVES anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his bare chest, stirring the foliage like so many dead Canadians. "I HATE LEAVES" he thought.
What is Nora's opinion on Canada
She has a sexual experience everytime Nate told her about a Canadian being killed
HATE LEAF
"Every Leaf should be swinging from a tree branch."
She doesn't care about nations or race but murder gets her off.
NATE "IF I SEE A CANADIAN I DECIDE THEIR FATE" HOWARD
so with fo4 being on sale, is it worth getting? 76 seems like a waste of time and money. I've already played 3 and nv.
It's a bad Fallout game, but a decent shooter and base builder sim. On sale with all the dlc is only $10
Yes. But don't expect more of 3 and nv. It is a very different game. But still very fun imo.
Its gameplay is better than NV/3. The side quests are also pretty good.
Its the main story thats really shite however. Going from NV where you genuinely might side one way or another you'll find the story is hamfisting you in one direction in 4.
Its a mediocre-to-bad bad fallout or rpg. A fun loot-shooter on harder difficulties though. Makes you want to replay STALKER mostly
It's a great game
Just don't go in expecting a great story
you will play 300 hours with the "well i might as well" attitude. its not particularly fun or interesting when you stop to think about what youre doing, but its easy to spend hours on it
It's mostly the gameplay loop that gets you
people will say anything except they maybe liked fallout 4.
it's fallout themed lego fortnite
the plot isn't as bad as 3 and the bugs aren't as bad as NV, the voice acting is excellent. the length of the intro sucks ass and the side quests can get repetitive quickly. character building got nuked for a far more linear progression (you can increase SPECIAL with perk points from leveling up and there is no cap on levels) but as far as a first person arcade shooter it's above average and definitely worth 10 dollars.
as other anons said, it's a fallout themed sandbox, download survival mods, gun mods, and (and maybe some coomer mods), and you can get some fun out of it
>is it worth getting?
Biased answer, but mods are the solution to everything Bethesda related. If you care to mod it, which is fairly easy, you can get as much or as little in extra value out of it as you want. I think they even have entire ready-to-go modlists on Nexus to make things as novice friendly as possible. And these mods include everything from the average tacticool weaponry to large narrative mods like Tales from the Commonwealth and Sim Settlements 2 (I know, it doesn't sound like a narrative mod). So get it if you are willing to mod it.
>Killing Canadians
I can now see why Vault-Tec preselected this glorious specimen just before the nukes dropped.
The Legend of The Rake must survive. The Ghost of Quebec lives on.
So I was going though the art of fallout 4 book I heard the last name Sombra come from there and see this page
So I felt I would need this pic
That's my Pic now
It belongs to me now
I'm stealing this picture. It's mine now.
>extermination is everyone’s job
Workin on it
And done
Yoink
I didn't know Nate served in Turkey too
Now you need to put a Canadian flag on that roach
kek
see
I played FO4 for 6 hours before I decided I wanted nothing to ever do with it.
I can 100% assure you that the insurgent deserved execution.
-t. Canadian
STOP BULLYING MY COUNTRY WE HAVE IT BAD ENOUGH AS IT IS
NATE IS SCUM
No
And for that Nate "the Rake" Higgers executed 10 more leafs and impregnated at least 20 women
Which Raider gangs does Nate the Rake side with?
I always felt like it would the Pack + either Disciples OR Operators. If Nate is a legit psycho, Disciples are perfect
Operators because he's a soldier not a savage
I could see it. Not to mention, he seems to kind of flirt with Mags iirc
Why would Bethesda create an entire expansion pack around being a Raider just to turn around and make it non-canon?
Anyway, I think it could tie into the convo Nate has with Danse about the Minutemen being used as auxiliaries.
If the BoS ending is canon as some of you say, I remember Gage saying that they aren't that different
Nate wouldn't want some pig fricking savages on his side. He'd clear out Nuka world. If the raiders loot the farms, Nate wouldn't be able to shake them down for BOS money.
how can someone wake up one day and think
>yeah today Im gonna tell everyone that our main character is a war criminal
>think
Why didn't he just make him the cover guy that appears on the tv
For the sake of improving the game? It's seriously a genius thing, I wish FO4 was narratively more solid and included more on that.
He did nothing himself, he was just being a silly billy
For all we know a squad member might have just told a really funny joke
Should I finally play fallout 4? I've had it and all it's dlc but never got around to playing it.
I played starfield for 26 hours and got bored when I realized the game was never going to let me really do anything fun and the setting is AFTER a cool ass mecha war.
People can say what they want about Fallout 4, but it's better than Starfield at least.
i enjoyed both.fallout's setting and lore are just way cooler
Starfield's backstory was genuinely more interesting than the actual game. It's like the Star Wars sequels. Why didn't they just it during that period.
>Why didn't they just it during that period
Because Todd wanted to focus on the Starborn plot. There is a neat Cold War thing going in between the UC & FC though that is heavily implied to be coming to another dustup
Do you like running around killing things, building shit, crafting and customizing weapons & armor and having stiff mechanical interactions with NPCs as roleplaying? If you answer yes to 2 or 3 of those, you'll probably like it.
Fun time in general
Who knows, maybe that canadian firebombed the childrens hospital/ retirement home/ puppy pound and deserved what came to him
What is some other lore about our favorite protagonist did Emil forget to share?
He inseminated his wife on a park bench and they had a dog briefly that disappeared. Infer of that what you will
He's into comics and baseball

Good thread guys. Haven't had this much fun on Ganker in a long time.
This thread has like really good fanfiction that could actually fit the Fallout universe
Thank Emil, not us.
Emil has to be going through some sort of manic mid-life crisis or something. He even looks unhinged. Years of npc behavior does wonders to people man.
Is FO4 survival worth playing? This dumb shit has me thinking about it again
>Is FO4 survival worth playing
Not without mods to adjust a few things imo. Very Hard is honestly a better experience tbh
Yes it is
The food/water shit doesn't matter at all, the combat change is fricking stupid though, you deal a fraction of damage while enemies deal 2x more.
If you play it, get a mod that makes it 2x damage for the player and the enemy. It stops enemies being sponges and you can get one shot pretty easily that way.
Emil here
Ganker is now canonically in the fallout universe and is still running even after all the nukes
