Fallout’s Best Skeleton Stories | Fallout Lore

This is spookier than when I first learned that skeletons are inside people.

Futurama Not rick and morty

I think the underwater T-rex is actually a reference to Mean Girls, specifically the line "And on the third day, God created the Remington bolt-action rifle, so that man could fight the dinosaurs. And the homosexuals."

Sinclair: "Yeah, I've tried everything." Vault-Tech-Support: "Did you try turning it on and- Sinclair: "YESITRIEDTURNINGITONANDOFF!!!" Vault-Tech-Support: "Did you try pipe access from section 1B?" Sinclair: "That place is a death trap to get to, and how are pipes gonna help me with the computer prob- Vault-Tech-Support: "Did you try pipe access from section 1B?" Sinclair: "UGH! Fine! Please hold, I'll be right back!" - 200 years later - Vault-Tech-Support: * skeleton wearing a headset, with his arms folded, sitting in front of a computer *

my favorite skeletons were the ones that you'd walk over and would spazz out, flipping around, then dealing massive damage to you and killing you instantly

Your forget the most important one from the original Fallout: "You see Ed. Ed's dead."

In Fallout 4 there's a skeleton in a bathtub surrounded by Mannequin's holding Machete's in one of the buildings in Concord.

The Survivalist's story never fails to make me emotional. The man who had everything taken from him twice no- thrice over and decided to foster new life in this canyon until the day he finally succumbed to the spores. Everytime I played Honest Hearts, I always get his armour first (because they were cool but also) to honour his memory and legacy

Seymour is a reference to a "Futurama" episode called "Jurassic Bark" not Rick and Morty. Rick and Morty wasn't even created yet when fallout 3 was released

The saddest one (for me at least) is a grave in Fallout 76 not a skeleton but it's marked by toy blocks with the name Angel spelled out. I screenshot it and it makes me kind of sad every time it pops up when the game starts. However, the funniest skeleton to me in Fallout 76 is of a lady who apparently died doing "snow angels" in nuka-Cola bottles 👌

I love that Cooper Howard poster even more now.

This is literally one of the reasons I love fallout, the environmental story telling. Coming across one of these skeletons and trying to Sherlock solve the mystery of what happened. Then finding the notes/terminals with lore to confirm your theory! The BEST gaming experiences I've had!

Hold on. Fallout was originally going to have time traveling dinosaurs? I need to hear more about this

Seymor fossilized dog is futurama not rick and morty.

Since its story takes place mere minutes before the Great War, I've always considered the 'skeleton stories' to hit more in Fallout 4 than they did in other games. Big John's Salvage was a soul crusher as seeing your whole family suffocate and die is heartbreaking enough, but having to dig a grave for your two young children near where you sleep then dying there with your spouse must have been absolute Hell for them. One you didn't cover was the girl at the lone cabin (Forgot what it's called) neat Red Rocket Truck Shop and Concord. The girl ran away from home after having an argument with her parents because she found out she was pregnant, and considering how her holotape goes it is implied her boyfriend doesn't know. Being alone with an expecting child can be very stressful for a girl to say the very least, but to spend the last few minutes of human civilization alone before the bombs dropped... must have been more than depressing. Another that's not covered in the video is the story of the man who lost the woman he loved in an unmentioned accident. Dude lived in a small house north of Hardware Town and east of Vault 81. It was where he met her, where they fell in love, and ventured out into the Wasteland before she died and returned to the same house to live the rest of his days. The only mementos he has of her is a locket and (I assume) a brahmin since he cares about her wellbeing enough to build a contraption to get rid of bugs. Finds out he dropped the locket in the (Heavily irradiated) lake after scaring bugs off harassing his brahmin, he dives into the waters to find it as he had near nothing left to lose. Due to the radiation, he died but not before he was able to find the locket and hold it tight in his hand and close to his chest. Not as depressing as Big John's Salvage or the girl who ran away from home, but it a sad one that in some ways had closure. This one took place post-War but I felt in needed to be mentioned.

Possibly the underwater T-Rex skeleton could be a reference to the end of Jurassic Park 2 where was transported on a boat from the island as mayhem happened as usual.

The skeleton I remember the most is from fallout 4 (in the harbormaster hotel I think?) and its an old lady reading an overdue book to a giddyup buttercup, teddy bear and jangles the moons monkey. Pretty sad

Rip brotherhood member, died of having his meat turned into sausage slices

“Hey, who turned out the lights?” Nice Doctor Who reference there.

Bethesda is far from perfect, but world building is something they excel in. The unmarked shacks and homes are my favourite because there's a whole story contained in a single interior cell
