The Fallout universe is one rich in spooky mysteries and unexplained phenomena. One of the most curious organizations to inhabit the Fallout games is The Children of Atom. The Children of Atom have appeared in every title since Fallout 3 and have consistently demonstrated a number of inexplicable powers and abilities. Today we investigate this strange group as a part of our quest to dissect the Fallout franchise.

You're telling me that after years of imagining Nate as a lil dorky dude he's actually been a bit of a daddy this entire time?
I love the concept of blowing up Megaton to solve the water issue.
Actually, the game does consider the "unfixable amount of karma" a very fixable thing, since there's a rather hidden dialogue choice only available if you blew Megaton, but have very good karma by the time James asks you about what happened at Megaton:
I was amused by Mother Curie calling the Brotherhood Knights "angels".
This connection might be talked about in the video, but in case its not, i'd like to mention there seems to be a weird connection between Ghouls and Lorenzo Cabot, and by extension, the Children of Atom. If you choose to side with Lorenzo Cabot, you can find him wandering the Wasteland, examining the bodies of 3 sentient Ghouls he just killed out of curiosity. He remarks that their "radiation syndrome" shares striking simularities with "my own condition" so...considering that we know Lorenzo's genetics was changed due to exposure to the Ancient Alien Crown, the species who supposedly created Humanity...
Curie the Third's voice actor fuckin nailed it. Her initial hello and saying how, "I hope the others haven't given you any trouble" genuinely made me smile.
The conversation with Maries mom at
Every time Nate pronounces the T in Apostles a puppy dies
You didn't mention a few really interesting things.
If anyone is interested in doing a good deed for the day, the Fallout Out of Context Twitter account owner's father has recently had some health issues and any support would be appreciated!
Sometimes I do wonder if a lot of decisions are actually clever storytelling or not. Bethesda has a track record of really good environmental storytelling, and I think it’s really easy to default into saying it’s laziness because it’s a big company. But I do think plenty of things line up well enough that they aren’t just coincidence
In our own Universe, Atomic power very early on took on a dangerous connotation. Various accidents combined with the ever present fear of nuclear destruction in an atomic war, led to many trying their best put but anything atomic related out of their minds. In the Fallout Universe, it is VERY different. In the intro cinematic to Fallout 4, Nate describes how the world completely embraced the potentials of the atomic, in all its forms. Even Nate's voice as he describes the the potentials for atomic energy and science takes on an almost reverent quality, as if even while rehearsing his speech he can't forget the possibilities past, present, and future that atomic science can and has provided.
i like how if you bring fawkes to the purifier and have him activate it the game throws it in your face and calls you selfish
I appreciate the revised closed captions upon release, it makes your content accessible to deaf and hard of hearing folks like me 😊
My headcanon is that the reason radiation acts so weird and unscientific in the Fallout universe (what is essentially spicy light in our universe vs. Ghouls and Super Mutants in Fallout) is because of the eldritch god Ug-Qualtoth, and maybe Atom is either a separate god (like how there are multiple gods in the Cthulhu mythos) or simply a false identity used by the eldritch monster to better influence humans
Also, my Crazy Theory about the eldritch horrors of the Fallout universe is this:
Thank you for all your hard work and effort that goes into making these lengthy videos, it’s truly appreciated!
That musical connection is definitely something to look into, as musical connections like that are very rarely coincidental. If you're able (and I myself am not) to do so, try overlapping the tracks of the Mother and Mothman so the synth notes play as close to simultaneously as possible, but don't change the pitches or anything like that. I think there's a distinct possibility for the overlapping tracks to reveal something that your research into both Dunwich and the Children of Atom may have previously missed.
Hey nate, ive been subbed your channel for the past 6-7 years, and i cant tell you how much i appreciate you coming back and doing in depth dives into your older content. Alot of youtubers will just move forward and not think about what their old limitations did to impact their videos. I just want to tell you how much i appreciate you going back and taking videos that were already very engaging and stirring, and delivering even more of your passion, knowledge and effort. Keep up the fantastic work nate. Youve always been awesome! ❤
