Talon Company: Who are they and Who is financing them? (RE-UPLOAD)

I don't know if the discussion around the gauss rifle was from the original upload or if it was added to the newer version, but Operation Anchorage (the dlc that initially introduced the weapon to Fallout 3) has loading screen art of Chinese propaganda posters that clearly show Chinese soldiers using gauss rifles. The most likely explanation for why they don't use them in the dlc is because Bethesda realized during playtests how infuriating it would be for the player to constantly get knocked down and stunlocked by them. As for why they use fusion cells, well where in the lore does it say China never acquired and reverse engineered their own fusion cells? It's ridiculous to think they wouldn't be capable of adapting our technology just because they couldn't crack the code on Power Armor within 5 years.

Talon Company is a merc company and is being paid by the enclave. And I have absolutely no evidence for that. 😊

Arnt the gunners from a vault

Talon Company was funded by the Republic of Dave for sure

Im sorry but on every difficulty even with a piss weak build on purpose! Talon suck! They just suck! The only time they ever came close to beating me was at a hairline of health behind a load screen. the pussies. and even then i still won😂.

Talon company sucks. And sowin em's fun.

For those who prefer to front a real ass kicking. You can't go past the apostate bos and Bethesda ruins.

I’m gonna cream on my sweet roll then eat it

One thing ive noticed is that if you finish the "power of the Atom" quest and you either ignore or confront Mr Burke, there's a chance you can get "Hitmen" sent after you. Ive had them spawn just as I was leaving Megaton, they can be a tough fight but a rewarding one at that (ione of the fastest ways you can get combat armour).

Not sure if "Hitmen" are just reskinned Talon Company or their own special group, they sure looked and acted like Talon Company.

I always assumed that talon company had been started by Eden, they do seize control of military bases, are heavily armed and armored, usually. So he could have reached out remotely to aid them into entering these facilities. Hell, if Eden were to allude to things found in the DC ruins, they might be then inclined to go there.

Look at the Enclave in Fallout 2. They hired a group to get them things they needed while selling off some weapons and the like to make them stronger and better able to get them the requested materials. All the while, absolutely intending to kill them off with the airborne virus. Eden helping to establish them just would make sense, especially since there was a certain degree of belief that fallout 3 was originally going to be a psudo remake of the first two.

As for why super mutants overrun the DC ruins, i assume it is likely due to the high levels of radiation found there, especially in certain locations where it is especially high. They are essentially immune to it and it probably reminds them of Vault 87 and considering they are looking for more FEV, the green stuff, they probably attribute high radiation with their search.

As far as say, littlehorn, not everyone can even enter their shack. You have to be chosen by making the choice yourself first. You let the evil into your own heart, as it were. As for who they are and how they can afford this endeavor, well. They are likely literally just the devil. A devil anyway. Burke dresses a lot like them and i think there is a reason for ir. Sort of a company uniform. Burke wants good people dead because he can wreap the rewards others could not as a result of the carnage. Material wealth from the death of good people, hence why he is sk quick to hire hitmen, to want megaton gone. Why he would be so quick to kill Lucas Simms on his way out.

Littlehorn, they want that good people would die and others to become corrupted. They don't pay you to kill just anyone, they are directly opposed to good people and only reward their deaths. Meaning, they want the apread to occure. I actually think it would be funny to find that they had a connection to Eden too, as if Littlehorn had directly inspired Eden to become what he is. Eden wants everyone dead, good and evil. That little flower on his console, if only we could prove if it were left there by Littlehorn or an associate.

It would also be amusing if we could prove that Kellog was involved in their creation. Him and the institute. Their icon is a skull faced thing snatching up a baby. What if the 10 year gap began after Shaun's abduction and this was an homage to how he started things off to a certain degree and they emulated that like the White Legs did with Ulysses.

All these dog pictures got me like
🎶 In the arms of an angel🎶🔥

One other thing I find interesting: the bounty on you says that the person who put on the hit on you wants the head "for a change," which would imply that Talon usually has some other way to confirm kills. We know that Littlehorn & Associates usually uses ears to confirm kills, so a whole head would constitute a change of pace for them. This would seem to imply that, if nothing else, Talon and Littlehorn work together so frequently that whoever took out the contract felt the need to specify that this situation was different from their usual fare

That is such a joke that you were troubled over the gore of a game that has been on here for so long.

Here for you RadKing

i am funding them

Is Tenpenny and Mr. Burke just the Fallout equivalent of Mr. Burns and Smithers?

Transplant from the uk?

Why are there puppy jumpscares?
I mean, I like them, but am I missing something?

Hear me out: Talon Company is an extension of the Enclave.

Why is there so many dogs? 😂

Bassicly gunners but in dc

Not the mini talon company Merc 😮😢

The Loan Wanderer put out the hit on themselves. They only pay when the job is done and Loan Wanderer will only have to pay if they're dead, they did it to get free armors and riffles.

on the plus side they do offer you free combat armour and weapons n ammo to resupply and aswell as sell

Haven’t finished it but my money is on enclave as the main supporters

I wonder if talon company is still a thorn in the brotherhood of steel's side by the time of the fallout show.

After seeing a video, I think yours, where it's explained Burke nuked Megaton on his own I think it's Burke. He's only one that's actually Saturday Morning cartoon evil-on-purpose like that.

What’s with the finger collection

Ayo, why’d you take homies finger 😂

"Who are Talon Company"? Only the finest purveyors of free, slightly worn, combat armor in the wastes. Disclaimer: a certain amount of cleaning and sanitation required before use. Not a bad source for high end weapons and repair parts either. I love Talon Company.

Neutral or evil playthroughs were the best in fallout 3 Kinda sucks you needed a dlc to rp the endgame

I know it’s a stretch, but Talon makes me wonder if they’re some distant offshoot of the Blood Eagles from 76.

Alright just hear me out. I don’t have the fallout knowledge to really connect the dots but Scientology’s main private security company . Talon does a bunch of shady stuff for Scientology. Could it be the Hubbites funding talon in fallout?

❤these lore dives

Fallout lore says Nate Dog And Warren G started the Regulators about 40 years before the blast yeah I went there

Honestly I didn’t know about Autumn’s goals differing from Eden’s, I think I like Autumn more now

I finance the Talon company... just to have something to "do".

Man the fact that you cant ally autumn I feel like its kind of bullshit.... Autumn could have been turned against Eden and you could have used Charmisa to join the enclave with your distain of eden and hope to help others

Tossing a comment to my lone wanderer <3

Dave is very scary

For the algorithm!

Regulator vid when

Even if I was the type of player who liked to play the bad guy, there is just so little incentive to do so in this game. Talon Company gives much better loot than the Regulators (including, as many have mentioned, much better armor that can be used to repair some of the best armor in the game). On top of that, Fawkes is functionally immortal with Broken Steel installed, and he and Star Paladin Cross are much better companions than Jericho and Clover (not to mention that once you have Clover you can keep her regardless of your karma). The only reason to go bad in this game is for added challenge, and maybe for the Tenpenny Tower suite (which is admittedly much better than the run-down shack you get in Megaton for saving the town).

Jabsko has the only black combat helmet.

I have sticky fingers when I play fallout so I'm always considered evil

i loved these guys had the ammo i used and armor free loot 😂

Skipped 5 comercial,just to watch this.

To be honest capital wastelands biggest douches are brotherhood and outcasts

TALON COMPANY
