Nightkin | Fallout Lore

For all intents and purposes, Nightkin share their origin with Super Mutants, both were created by the Master through the use of FEV at the Mariposa Military Base. The only difference between a Nightkin and Super Mutant, at least in the beginning, was that Nightkin were far more successful in their creation. They were stronger and more intelligent than the other first generation mutants, unmatched by all others in the Masters Army and for that reason they were handpicked to be the Masters Elite Warriors.

Time for the big debate, are Nightkin blue or purple?

Edit: I'm not sure why but the audio seems to be slightly more to the left, fear not I will take care of the issue to avoid the same mistake reoccurring. Thank you for understanding! 😁👍

I will say, one of my most favourite followers was "grandma" just because of the imagery of a super mutant in a gown and gardening gloves, plus a bonus of the VA saying things like "grandma wants to pinch your cheeks/ would you like a cookie, kiddo?" In the super mutant voice

“Head voices say they knew flower girls father” - Nightkin. I like to think all super mutants and most ghouls are pyskers and antler is real

Super Mutants are one of my top favorite fallout creatures, very intimidating with the power to back it up. The area filled with nightkins underneath the repconn test sight would always give me at least 1 jump scare of a big blue mutant appearing right in front of me swinging a rebar club.

I still remember when I first ran into the NightKin near the top of Black Mountain, the ambient music and sudden ambush from 5mm Assualt Rifles along with the flamers streaking the horizon line coming down to greet me. I had no idea what hit me.

My headcanon: The game's narrator is a super invisible nightkin that follows the courier around and can't be seen no matter what

Marcus was my favorite companion from Fallout 2 and I'm glad they brought him back (and Michael Dorn, the voice actor) in New Vegas. Mutants are not mindless brutes that just want to kill you. Although transformed, there's a lot of humanity inside those hulking bodies. Marcus is very smart and diplomatic. Lily is a doting, loving grandmother. Mean Sob is a loyal guard. In F2, there's even a super mutant couple who keeps bickering at home, like some human couples! I hope that in future Fallout games, they'd be portrayed more with sympathy and I especially would like to see super mutant NCR soldiers! That'd be awesome!

11 years later and New Vegas is as popular as ever. That's how you know something is a work of art - posterity reveres it and it becomes timeless.

I wonder what would happen if a nightkin found a suit of chinese stealth armor and modified it so they could wear it, could be a cool side quest for a future game i guess

[darthhatchet]

I'm surprised you didn't include Dog/God from Dead Money who is an extreme example of the split personality some Nightkin suffer. Not to mention the willingness to follow a new Master.

[chally]

Dude I love these videos you're making, I can barely find anyone doing stuff like this

[All-Fur-Coat_No-Trousers]

You are truly a divine instrument of Atom's will, Synonymous 👏 You just can't miss man

[Toasted-Cat]

I think it would be very interesting if a cure was invented for the nightkin, do you think they would revert back to a normal super mutant and keep their intelligent, go back to a normal super mutant and lose their intelligence or create a new generation completely

[yovitasrimulyani]

best nightkin encounter is in novac, mystery + where's waldo + funny comments from no bark + it's unmarked radiant quest

[JK-mntk]

Davison knows if you kill the other nightkin in the facility supposedly because Antler told him. I mean Davison doesn't even see you do it and if done stealthily wouldn't hear it either but either way he not only knows that the nightkin are dead without even leaving the room but he also knows that it was you who did it. It could've been the ghoul in the storage room or (even though unlikely) any of the ghouls upstairs but Antler tells him its you specifically. Could Antler have been real?

[jordanv]

I really loved the nightkin in fallout NV, they were just a cool unique variant of the regular super mutant, and I'm glad they brought them back from the old fallouts. I hope they come back in a future game, and I hope we can get the stealth boy disease, like if it was like mutations In 76, or perk you get from a quest.

[jonahk]

Damn, imagine a nightkin with the free will and intelligence of Marcus

[RalseiGote]

Jacobstown was named after Marcus's old friend in Fallout 2

[wilberator]

I like how the Nightkin are used to explore the psychological effects that an ability to turn invisible could have on people.
It seems tragic how Jacobstown puts so much work into the potential direct effects of stealth fields when that isn't really the problem at all...

I think the concept deserves it's own sci-fi series or film.

I started today off working alone on cars. Long procedures just by myself at work. I'm glad my brain wanted fallout lore because now I've found your channel. Such fucking good content
