The more vaults you explore in the games, the more you realize that each and every one has some dark, twisted secret. For the most part. I appreciate that they're showing that to the audience by including this weird cult vault that Lucy and Maximus found.
It’s really interesting watching the difference in reaction between fans of the games and newcomers. Without game knowledge the vaults seem like a good option - and worth a few sacrifices.
when i heard the fallout 4 music it struck a nerve, in a good way, i know this might anger some OG fans, but fallout 4 was my first fallout experience, it holds a very special place in my heart... It made me emotional to say the least.
In episode #2, Wilzig the scientist said that the cyanide pills were the most humane thing Vault Tec ever made...he wasn't kidding! Stuff that went on in most of the vaults was pure nightmare fuel, yeech!
What was it Vault 69 had all males and one female where vault 96 had all females and one male. I can't remember for sure if that's canon or where I got it from.
It always seemed like there was something off about almost every vault you explore in the games. There was always a mystery to uncover or secrets to find.
1:24 The T-60 we see in the series is pretty much an evolution of the T-45 mentioned here. Both have similar designs. I'm pretty sure the T-45 was deployed on 2067 followed by the T-51 (My favourite) in June 2076 the pinnacle of power armour before the great war. Then in 2077 just months before the great war the T-60 rolled out and was mostly used for policing and riot control on the East Coast, worn by the Brotherhood in Fallout 4 and this series after they found a stockpile on the East Coast. The T-51 is superior to the T-60 but thanks to the T-60 being made out of metal it's got better radiation protection. I'm sad that we never got to see the T-51 as that's my personal favourite and iconic to the series thanks to it being the cover art for the first Fallout game and worn by the Brotherhood of Steel in the first two games and New Vegas. Hopefuilly we see it in the next season as the T-60 is cool and all but it was only introduced in 2015 so it's pretty new compared to the classic.
The interesting part to me is that there are two competing designs. The T-45 and T-60 are of the same family; the T-51 and the X-01 are of the same family. And they overlap, too, time wise. But yes, the T-51 was too expensive (and difficult to service) compared to the T-60. But at least the T-60 had mostly fixed all the initial design flaws.
Lucy is shocked by Shady Sands and the history she finds in vault 4 because it basically confirms what Maximus told her. That civilization had already returned to the surface and were rebuilding...before getting nuked again.
@@matte5705Yes, Shady Sands is a very important city for the NCR but they have plenty of personnel in other locations. Just because Shady Sands got nuked doesn’t mean Camp McCarran or Camp Forlorn Hope automatically get wiped out. I’m thinking the show is misleading us into thinking that NCR was no more but is going to pull a fast one out later and show us that NCR is still around in later season.
Something you probably didn't catch... Like a lot of people didn't. The timeline that they keep referring to as the beginning is 2077. It's an alternate timeline to ours. They didn't have the exact same technological journey that we did. Culturally they basically got stuck in the 1960s.
I think that the fact that non-Fallout fans and ancient (ahem!) Fallout fans got so engrossed in this show is such a good sign. As one of the latter, I adored this show so much, and am looking forward to so many seasons! ETA: I was one of those people that was repeating, "don't screw it up, don't screw it up, trust the lore, trust...."
I'll be interested to see how your thoughts about leadership and freedom in the vaults hold up as the series continues. It may turn out to matter quite a lot who's in charge . . .
There is SO MUCH lore in the Fallout/Elder Scrolls. In your free time.. Shoddy Cast, Oxhorn and several others here on RU-vid are great resources that explain much more and in great detail if you're interested in learning more.
What I love about the scene between the "President" and The Ghoul: he fessed up to the destruction of the Super Duper Mart, but he was passed out the entire time; why did he say that? I don't know if he was covering for Lucy (unlikely) or what.
Probably because that wouldn't have made any difference whatsoever. So why waste saliva? By the point he was taken there, there was only one way this would play out: Either him or the President get out of it alive.
OMG, Katie, what you said hit me so hard: Walton G. *does* look like an action star from the 40s and 60s! I am an old woman, but even in my youth, I used to watch old B&W movies, including westerns and film noir detective movies (I wasn't weird, YOU were!). Thanks for the epiphany that WG has that old leading-man vibe (which I've loved since I was a child in the 70s)!!!
It's heavily implied in the games that vault tech, with the US government, started the war. The government becomes the enclave, which is where the scientist escaped from in the beginning. The vaults are science experiments on people because the enclave eventually wants to build a starship to go to another planet. At least, that has been the fan theory for years.
MOST Vaults stay isolated until their "Reclamation Day" which seems to be different per Vault (experiment from Vault-Tec). This is also a plot point in several other Fallout stories and it's one of those golden rules that's usually broken in some conspiratorial way but some Vaults legit haven't opened to the surface yet. There's a Vault in one of the games where your character has been told they were born in the Vault and so was their father and that Vault has never had contact with the surface world only for you to find out at the end of the tutorial area that it did and even further your family were surface dwellers allowed to live in the Vault because they had medical training under the condition that you're raised to believe your entire family line came from said Vault.
The guy in the beginning, the Indian guy at the bar, and his own wife offered him advice to take for the future for his own benefit and he CHOSE to pretend they were talking crazy. He has no one to blame but himself. Three opportunities were offered. The funny part is seeing reactors react the same way calling the guy in the beginning a corporate douchebage you can't trust etc. It's hilarious.
I really enjoy this episode as I love that scene with the NCR flag with the Fallout theme makes my inner fanboy squeal inside, learning about the Ghoul’s old dog makes me hope we get Dogmeat to be the Ghoul’s new dog, and the voice actor who plays Jerry from Rick and Morty is the Overseer so it’s a treat. I was so excited to see the next episode after what we learn and that cliffhanger and happy to say, I love what happens next.
This my favorite episode! People from vault are nice people, but strange. They live with good people from outside(flame mother cult). But Lucy almost destroy them.. I so FALLOUT!
I would be all for Bakersfield especially since I used to live there. Low population, East is the Sequoia, West is the Ocean, and South is the Grapevine. Just don't go North. That's Fresno and no one goes to Fresno.
im just happy to see this irish Rose. lol. never been to ireland, which is crazy as i live near two port towns to get to ireland. got an irish dog - irelands national dog the irish soft coated wheaten terrier, and shes mad as a box of frogs lol, and both my ex's where irish one northern one southern, so i guess im a sucker for the irish
Instead of dismissing the the guy who says "Time" is the important factor, he should've just listened. He'd been in a vault that wasn't faulty. And he'd be managing other vaults or doing HR for them. Instead, he's at the bottom of the barrel like everyone else because like most people, he simply treated that guy in the beginning like he was a nobody and didn't listen to his advice.
Well the NCR is gone, the BOS is just a shadow of what it was 50 years ago. Don't forget that the NCR kicked their ass a long time ago and that they were forced to retreat and hide like the group in the Mojave. This was needed to give the TV show a clean place to put the piles of crap and dirty people that Bethesda loves so much in their games. Every strong faction had to disapear to gives us the horror and dispair that a vault dweller is supposed to find when he gets out of the vault.
