The sound effects guy raiders talk about

[SaveTheZombies]

Have you overheard these conversations about the guy who rides around on an imaginary motorcycle making sound effects for vehicles and weapons he doesn't have?
Is he IN the game? I just hear about him.
I hope he's in the next fallout game as a companion... and he's voiced by Michel Winslow.

Gerald posted this clip below in case you have no idea what the hell im talking about, just skip to 6 min in if you want to hear the stories

i seen muddy tire tracks in game that are mysterious, as their is no working vehicles ingame to leave such tracks.

No, I've never heard of it. I wonder if you might be talking about some mod-thing?

Then again, it might have something to do with me shooting raiders on sight and rarely ever getting close enough to overhear their conversations?

Sounds pretty strange though. I would get a laugh from meeting that guy, I'm sure.

My guess is those are from Sentry Bots or anything with Robobrain treads? I thought they were pretty weird when I first saw them and wasted quite a bit of time trying to follow them and track down the source.

diferent width than the robobrain tracks,(Robot tracks are 2 tracks with rear single wheel) these are normal width or average width of vault tech van or car arn't they?

Bethesda "over sight" issues are common in Fallout 4, too many different teams working on one game, without proper communication. Map Designers were likely not told "hey there will be no such thing as working automobiles in the game." Then again, Fallout 3 implied that the BOS had working Trucks, being you could find some with BOS water barrels after Project Purity.

So who knows, maybe vehicles do work you just don't see them. I mean come on the Raiders know what a motorcycle was and how they sounded.

wow your right i never thought of that, i just assumed that if working vehicles were in game i would have seen them.
Your right, there really isn't a need or purpose for me to see the vehicle that left these tracks behind. to many chefs as they say.

You might not catch these convos if you dont sneak around like i do.

That's what struck me weird about hearing them the first time. How does this guy (and the guy he's talking about) know what a motorcycle sounds like.

THen again, how are there so many people with foreign accents? They come over here on sailboats?

He won't be the next game has no NPCs besides Robots/super mutants/ghouls and happens way before this game.

Thanks Gerald, I would have never known without your link. None of those raiders ever live long enough to tell stories in my games.

I had some Sentry Bot following me around when I first saw those strange tracks. By my estimation, they were a similar enough width to easily explain it.

It's a video game world, there are "vehicles", you can believe whatever you like. It's not very good "proof" of Bethesda's ineptitude however...if that's the best you can come up with, then you're trying way too hard.

In my mind, some artist took the time to draw those tracks. It's possible the artist knew next to nothing about the game, maybe they were just really into tread marks? Or another explanation is that they were made by things we already know about in the game.

I have no idea. You asked, and I shared my thoughts.

sorry I meant fallout 5 not 76.
But Michael Winslow would be perfect to play him.

and thanks Gerald, I'll add that clip to the OP.
