You Won't Believe How Accurate Bethesda Made Fallout 76 Helvetia Compared to Real Life..

Video games bring people together

10:00 The urge to steal to globe to scrap for screws.

Imagine being an old timer and having been attending this your whole life, then suddenly you arrive one year and 2000 people are there. It has to be confusing

It would be really funny to walk around in power armor cosplay while exploring Appalachia

Ive lived in Appalachia my whole life and weren't so often portrayed SO negatively. All the harmful stereotypes and nrvative media portrayals. It brings a literal tear to my eye for people to see the area for more than that. I appreciate this so much

10:01 Globe! Need screws!

That's probably a whole lot of money coming into the area.

I felt like jumping to the top of the gazebo when I saw it in real life

I saw you in Helvetia lmao, you must’ve been finishing editing or recording this video. I was the guy in with the hockey mask who came up to you and messaged you earlier today 😂 (Great video btw)

It's crazy I spent the first 20 years of my life in WV (Summersville) and never knew about this. Of course I also didn't know about mothman. Granted, I was born in 81 and moved out in 2001. During this time the internet wasn't much of a thing in a lot of areas of WV so news didn't spread like it does today. I did attend bridge day at New River Gorge as that was right next to my town. I do miss the area, though. Living in a city now makes you really appreciate the space you get in the country.

I've lived in West Virginia all my life and I'm never heard of that event war of the small town helvetia until I started playing fallout 76😅

Super nice to see, Appalachia needs more love right now.

This is so rad. Had no idea the town was real. what a great watch. thank you.

Gotta give Bethesda some love for accurate recreations of WV. Allot of time was put into this game. ❤️👍🏻

I think you did a really good thing. Yeah, Bethesda did all the work with the hand crafting but you promoted it.

People meme on the 16 times the detail bit that Todd said, but he wasn't wrong. They put a ridiculous amount of work into transplanting the real world into the game, and people wouldn't even realise unless they saw these videos or experienced these cool places themselves. It really must mean a lot to the locals, too many places like these in the US get left behind and forgotten, sadly.

I think you def made an impact on this festival. Thier website is always sold out of merch!

I can't believe how accurate the layout of the town is, I'm officially adding Helvetia to my fallout locations road trip one day!

Bro I just refound this channel after like 13 years, it's crazy to see u still making videos, the last time I saw you I was making you a sphinx for a server you always fell asleep on so we could build longer and we'd bury you or incase you lol

I was obsessed with the Fallout series, it being my favorite game series ever. I had no idea they were laying out maps and re-creating real life locations as accurately as they were until recently, and i've been playing them for close to 10 years. Makes me love them even more. When I saw Helvetia I was blown away by the accuracy, and it makes me laugh. When I see that bluish-grey house on the corner all i can think about is playing Fallout and suddenly seeing your own house in the game decayed and full of Scorched lolol. That's crazy, I love it. I do think given the actual festival, size of the town and people involved, and the effect the game has had on their town thus far, Bethesda should add some NPCs to Helvetia. Maybe a nice little daily quest to clear out Scorched and retrieve an item from around town, in preparation for the festival. Gives a little Settler reputation and a Treasury note, maybe some Fasnacht decoration plans. Also as someone commented on one of your previous videos, would be great to see Bethesda add the actual poster they have in Helvetia with info to donate to the town's historical group. Great job on these videos and doing good things.
