Fallout: Tale of Two Wastelands continues, as we turn our attention to the somewhat bizarre Waters of Life, which does at least open the door to some powerful upgrades…

If he is just referred to as "Maxson II", then I think that would imply he is Roger Maxson Junior
Perhaps Maxson the second is also called Roger?
It's truly staggering how quickly technology advanced. Because in the Commonwealth, if I just put the dirty water from my pump directly in an empty bottle, it's purified. I love the future.
OMG they ripped you off, you only got 1000 caps from the naming pool not 2000! What a bunch of A-Holes.
Leave it to modders…Fallout: New California fleshes out the Vipers a bit. They're one of the raider factions you can ally with, and it delves into the whole snake-worship thing.
Jon at 7:53: You ruined my pacifist run, I hope you're proud of yourself!
Jon at 10:01: So what were going to do is make this pile of mines!
There was so much set up in this game that could have been used in Fallout 4. But instead they went with Maxson the murdering jackass and took a dump all over the East Coast Brotherhood.
It would have been so much better if the Brotherhood in Fallout 4 had been the MidWest Brotherhood.
spamming f5 for oblivion
That… Was uncomfortable.
Did you know that with some funky camera positioning you can search Autumn and Dad and steal their stuff. I like to imagine Autumn waking up naked and very confused.
I must have been playing this game for about half my life at this point, and I don't think I've heard those extended voice lines over the intercom while the Vertibird lands at Project Purity, and again with the conversation between James and Madison before the purifier's radiation burst.
There is more weirdness with Reddin. She was an Initiate who was field promoted posthumously .. to Paladin? If anything, it should have been Knight.
Presumably if Roger Maxson is technically Roger Maxson I, wouldn't Maxson II by definition be Roger Maxson II?
So my take on it is the Enclave is fairly "evil" or "bad" compared to the Fallout 3 version of the Brotherhood. I mean neither faction is perfect but I'd take the BoS over the Enclave any day. Maybe James thought the same…heard through the BoS that the Enclave were the "baddies" and figured he'd kill their highest ranking person there at the time as well as make it hard for the Enclave to access the project.
38:01 he's literally me fr
Jon arguing that James should have joined the Enclave…
Seems a bit of Bandit Jon from his Oblivion playthrough is bleeding into this reality
But you only got 1000 caps… they kept 1000 for themselves. Those liars
Wait… He said the pool was 2,000 caps… Then he only gave you 1,000!!
You were cheated, Jon!!! 😮
I have been loving this series. And if it continues to be this detailed, I'd imagine that; between what remains of Fallout 3, and what is yet to come in Fallout: New Vegas… There's still A LOT to look forward to!! 😊
James just does'nt like government infringing on his private property to the point of comiting murder.
He's just that American.
I think there's some bit of speeches by Eden on the enclave radio that really give off facist vibes.
Also, Eden makes his hostility toward the brotherhood
a rather benevolent power and former ally of your fatherreally clear.I think if I was in James boots, knowing he is kinda anti-authoritarian (at least that's how I understood his difficult relationship with the overseer, frienship with Three dogs and defiance towards Braun) and has an extremely personnal investment in project purity, I would like him try to peacefully resist Autumn's first orders to "transfer management". Maybe I could be persuaded if Autumn was less of an authoritarian prick, if he exposed the enclave's goals and arrived with a better offer like "hello mister scientist, we're really interested in your project and would like to assist. " I might listen to them. But that Autumn pig just barges in, says "in the name of the voice in the radio you now work for uncle sam wether you want it or not" Then proceeds to execute an innocent after the slightest protest.
I would loose it after that, try my best to save everybody i got involved in the project, and deny it to the fascist who just murdered someone in front of me.
Though pretending to play along with them and sabotage could be efficient, it might not give Li and the player the clear "GTFO" signal, neither would want to abandon Project Purity/Dad to the creepy guys. James would definitely have sacrificed himself by serving the murderous bastards to make sure they don't do anything stupid, but not if it meant Li and his child were also in that situation, with the enclave capable to use one as hostage to pressure the others depending on who they need the most at the moment.
Given all that, the "heroic martyr" of James seems more logical to me. It gained time by (temporarily) cutting the head of the snake and making the purifier dangerous to study, it forced the player and Li to escape, it avoided the possibility for the enclave to use him as a bargaining tool… Given the situation I think he made an extremely radical yet plausible decision.
I get your points Jon, they're valid, but I have to disagree with you on that one, Sean Bean did nothing wrong !
(Loved the episode by the way, looking forward to next week ! )
fallout 3 was doomed from the start pacifist you have to kill the radroach with the bb gun
Part 22? I binge watching them, but in the same time I don't like to see this series coming closer and closer to an end.
Greg Bear wrote my favorite book (Hull Zero Three)
The Gallows name is a direct lift from the movie, 'Saving Private Ryan' – Tom Hanks' character name is a key point in the film
New Headcanon: James is an Enclave deserter. It explains both his awareness of them, and his utter bloody stupidity.
the pot was 2000 for getting the name but when u turned it in u only got 1000. 42:28
One thing that bothers me about finding out Gallows name is. They don't ask for proof nor does Irving come with you to confirm it.
For all the BoS know you walked down to the Mess Hall grabbed a drink and just said the first name that popped into your head. Before running off with 2k in caps of their money. Never to be seen again.
