The Sole Survivor does have pre-war memories. Tons of them, they remember baseball's rules, Greygarden's pre-war scientist, their military service/law degree (depending on your gender), and even pre-war robots know the Sole Survivor's identity.

9:27 Kellog says when he kidnapped Shaun: "No idea why we didn't refreeze the rest of them. But. I guess that is jusr the old man's orders. Luckly. We have a back up for Pre-war DNA if it goes wrong."

“As God as my witness, none of you will be spared.” Is one of the coldest lines in fallout

I think the cat vault part is referencing a theory that the reason cats only appear in fallout 4 despite being extinct is because there might have been a vault that was only full of cats near or in boston, my personal theory is that the vault in the subways that the triggermen use isn't actually unfinished but was barebones because it was meant for cats.

Maybe the mysterious stranger is a product of holographic technology (Big MT technology), like the security guards at the Sierra Madre, built into the pipboy.

[Garinovitch]

I think when the game guide describes the Mysterious Stranger as eldritch, it might be worth nothing that it might not be calling him a literal eldritch god, but eldritch means weird or ghostly, which describes the Mysterious Stranger quite well. I think people just took the wording to be literal, thus starting the theory.

In FO4, it's stated that Kellogg was instructed to not re-freeze anyone BUT the SS.

9:35 I always took the life support "failure" of the cryopods to be the Institute purposely tying up the loose ends of other Vault Dwellers a la Kellogs memories

With the Wizard of Oz thing, it’s just a coincidence kind of. There’s a thing in storytelling called “the heroes journey”. It is a base that you build your story off of. I don’t remember it off the top of my head right now as I learned it in the film class back in seventh grade but a lot of old stories and stories of new continue to follow the heroes journey just not to a t.

Fallout 76 actually does get referenced in fallout 3. You can find terminals which mention vault 76 and its mission.

The Mysterious Stranger is an urban legend. In all my years of playing different FO games I've never once seen him. I submit that since the only people who've claimed to see him have deliberately chosen a perk to do so he is nothing more than a figment of their imagination or a symptom of something psychological going on within their own minds.

[dreadedworld]

Had my own theroy for dogmeat. Always imagined him to be the player's spirit guide.

The vault boy thumb has now been made canon by the show. Which is pretty cool👍🏻

The mysterious stranger being mark is actually a really good theory. In the first 2 fallouts he wears leather armor and uses different weapons but then he wears a trenchcoat in later games. So in the first 2 games he doesn't realize he's immortal yet so he thinks he needs armor and needing to move fast he wears lighter armor. Then after he realizes he's invulnerable he decides to make it fun with a costume and persona, hence the trenchcoat and revolver.

[lVladimirl]

A theory that literally makes 76 not cannon is wild. I support it 100%.

[rustkitty]

There is a small in-game evidence for the "multiple Lanius" theory: in lore his face is disfigured, that's why he has to wear a mask. But if you actually kill him and take off his mask, he isn't?! According to Joshua Sawyer this was only "engine limitations", except that's literally not true. You can easily give an NPC a custom race with a custom face texture (like the dirty skin of raiders) or a custom head mesh (like the beast races in Oblivion, same engine). Also you can just give him a hideous face in seconds of messing around with the sliders. If he said "time limitations" I'd have believed it more. So if Lanius is some nondescript guy with a pseudonym, then he is very replaceable.

I like the mysterious stranger just being a random person that happens to be around helping you out more than it being an eldritch being. I mean that's what your luck is for, you are so lucky that a random person decided help you on your fight before running away, makes you more unique than just another person living in the post apocalypse.

If Fallout 76 is a simulation then it really explains the glitches and bugs in the game.

[CyberSpider]

New Vegas also has it's own female variant of Mysterious Stranger - Miss Fortune who don''t kill but paralized enemies.
