Fallout Episode 8 Reaction - The Beginning 

Or one wrong turn and he meets Cazadores, they'd make a mess of that exposed face

@@UNSCPILOT Or another wrong turn and he runs into the Courier who has a fatman with hacked in infinite mini nukes.

@@LiquidusSnakeX Hank just turns to the left and sees someone in a Power Armor spammiing mini nukes all around New Vegas

@@XxHrallundeadrogueXx looool

Who’s the main villains of the game specifically

​@@Novasigmiadepends on which game we talking about Cuz there are a lot of factions and they change in each game

@@Novasigmia depends the moral of fallout is just war, war never changes. The first game is a super mutant army, the second is government remnants (the enclave) who use vaultec research and resources to commit genocide across the wasteland, three is the same faction but in a different area of America, new Vegas is actually a war between the ncr and the legion, and four is a war between a militia of wastlanders, the brotherhood of steel, a small spy organization, and a community of advanced scientists that survived the war underneath MIT.

@@Novasigmia also the name fallout has multiple meanings. The fallout of nuclear war, the fallout of conflict, and the fallout of your actions/choices

Every Game has a different faction. The Master Super mutant in 1, the enclave in 2 and 3, The Institute in 4, Mr House in New Vegas but this show has 100% finally proved that the real main villian is vaultec, which all of us predicted and speculated to be,

everytime she says that feels like a Save state lol

A huge army charges at them The ghoul: I take half, you take half. Lucy: okey-dokey

​@@samwise5486 She said "lemme quicksave "

@@jigokuNeko XD

also the way she say it

They kinda knew that, is the interesting part. They united the competing factions with, what else, competition. They made the end of the world into a game where the stakes are total domination over the north American continent. Obviously ain't working out as planned yet, but House is currently winning if his ending is the canon NV ending, or at least has a head-start.

​@BlitzBat313 I'm pretty sure they're not done yet. I don't know all the lore, but I'm sure Hank is looking to activate more nuclear weapons. They'll keep "cleaning" the surface until there's no one left and they can have the goddamn planet to themselves.

@@ReddCrystal Yeah there is actually a pretty strong theory that Hank made a deal with House or was even working for him and that is how he got access to the Nukes. In addition there is strong evidence even that the Brotherhood may have at least known about the plan to bomb Shady Sands (for example what were Brotherhood Knights doing in the city so soon after the denonation. Shady Sands is enemy territory to them they wouldn't have gotten their so fast unless they knew it was going to happen).

The vault tec rep heavily implying he knew the nukes were coming in fallout 4 was a pretty dead give away vault tec atleast knew something

Are we really surprised? The most sane thing they made was the banana cyanide pills. Vault tech is like legit insane.

In Fallout 2 you can get a random encounter with an undecorated Nuke with a Vault tech logo. You new guys know nothing.

@@eno6712 I did think for a while that vault tec was responsible, but I have never seen what you are talking about before even when I just searched it up for screenshots or something

@@eno6712 It has been implied in many games but Leonard Boyarsky has always said nobody knows who did it, Tim Cain mentioned that it was China who did it but it has never been taken as canon. In trust is no one knows who started the great war, only this show has dropped the semi confirmation that Vault Tec was the cause of it.

i legit jumped out of my seat

I slammed my desk just seeing that tower of Lucky 38. That's just bad maan, they could've at least made an episode or two in NV. But they end it right there. I really hope the wait is really not that long.

​@@zahtizfaction same bruh lol I kept pacing😂

@@OmegaDenz96 Yeah see I leapt in excitement at how they could do a great job in Season 2 and I'm fucking GLAD they didn't try to rush cram it into a couple of episodes and do it wrong. It seems like they have some advisors who know the source material really well and not just Bethesda. They have a super uber lore nerd somewhere who says "UMMM ACTUALLY" every time they're about to write something dumb and I love it! Let them take their time man, we don't want them to fuck up the New Vegas part. So PERSONALLY my wish list is House is still alive meaning NCR, Yes Man and Legion ending didn't happen BUT they can do a House ending that's somewhere in the middle. My personal wish is that Kimball, the Major at the dam (forget her name), Lanius, Caesar and Benny are all still alive. Kind of an in the middle stalemate ending with ELEMENTS of the other endings used so long as they don't contradict. SOMEHOW Caesar cured his tumor for example. But the Brotherhood chapter there wasn't wiped out. Maybe have House having pushed the NCR out or maybe they even left when they heard about Shady Sands, people HAVE TO REALIZE, Shady Sands isn't the only NCR place, it said they had entire states, I feel like the drama about that is coming from Fallout 1 and 2 heads who never played New Vegas. It's just ONE city. Also the dates on the board don't specifically say the nuke happened in 2277 just that the Fall of Shady Sands BEGAN around that time, could have lead to the nuke over time. I do hope they reveal that House thought Vault-Tec was INSANE and was just playing along with them at that meeting for his own safety, they could even say this HASTENED his plans for the Chip and missile defenses which is why he wasn't fully prepared when he had to fight them. They could make his stand against the missing real dramatic this way. Maybe he had just BARELY gotten into the chamber and hooked his brain into the 38's systems so he didn't have time to prepare or practice, kind of a frantic defend now situation.

Omg didn't even notice that

Yup its a nod to the quote "until you write the end you will not truly know the beginning."

it could potentially only require deuterium though, which makes it functionally infinite

Never even thought of this!

I knew there was a connection because of the cryogenics and was wondering why they performed two similar “experiments” but this makes SO much more sense.

@@FearlessGamer27but vault 31-33 are not experiments . They were special vaults

If i remember remember correctly, the Enclave helped create Vault-Tec and the vaults for the sole purpose of using experiments to gather data for a generational starship that would eventually leave with America's political and corporate elite to find a new Earth. My theory is that those shadow figures watching the Vault-Tec meeting from above were actually the Enclave leadership.

@@ElderGod4exactly. They’re saying 31-33 were more important vaults to Vault-Tec and so they used 111 to test and make sure the cryo pods they were using in 31-33 were safe to actually put their upper level staff into

Did Robert House give 'em a vault idea? He sounded like he's not interested in it.

@@v.e.g.athesentientintellig2333 Yeah, he was not into it. He went his own way.

I also learned that the guy who represented Big MT is Frederick Sinclair, the founder of the Sierra Madre casino from the Dead Money DLC of New Vegas.

wait really? thats dope

Hank saw New Vegas from Quarry Junction and that's incredibly cool

Most of the Vaults there failed, however, and the rest were pried open from either within or without. Vault 21, for example, was opened by Mr. House and the lower levels flooded with concrete.

Should she be in at the mega vault from the Fallout shorts?

Does not make much sense,she could not be there yet mclean was?

@@galadballcrusher8182 Mclean was low level, he was Barb's assistant executive

I think Barbara and his daughter are in New Vegas because the ghoul says at the end are you ready to meet your makers.

If I don't hear big iron in season two I'm rioting

They should have played Big Iron in the Credit sequence

They did use the theme from new Vegas

i wonder what happen to new vegas, which ending would it be?

@@sindgami7373 I think they'll change a lot from New Vegas. Remember it takes place in 2281 and the NCR is still strong, but the show says Shady Sands was destroyed in 2277. I wonder how they'll fix that

The logo on the Magaton bomb was not a Vault Tec logo, compare the two logos side by side and you'll see that they are not the same.

@@elvis5008 True. But there is a debate on whether or not it was Vault Tec. Why would the logo be so similar

@@RogueJyn It looks pretty similar to the old USAF logo from the 1950s actually, but the Vault Tec logo it definitely is not.

@elvis5008 yeah. Kinda looks like it. But if it were air force, there would be a star in the middle. And given how much vault tec had power in it wouldn't be a stretch to assume whoever built that bomb had some vault tec ownership.

@@RogueJyn The reason it's not exactly one to one could be due to copyright, kinda like how the Red Cross on hospitals are copyrighted. Also kinda a dumb move to put your own logo on a bomb that you're going to use for your secret master plan.

I mean most of the bombs were from the Chinese, one of the subs that fired them is found in Fallout 4. Vault Tec really just had to let off the first one, and America would launch what it considered to be a counter attack. Honestly they could even just hack into NORAD and fake an incoming strike, they wouldn't even need a bomb.

@@Philweasel Oh yeah i remember there been a submarine but I couldn't remember what was on it, it's been quite a while since I played fallout 4 as I'm not the biggest fan, don't hate would probably give it like a 7/10 or something but with the next gen update I might give it another go and check out the submarine

All of the companies represented in the meeting are in some shape or form related to this universe’s MIC, and once they heard that they could have a carde blanche on testing their experimental tech right here at home with neither any authorisation needed nor any questions asked, they couldn’t resist taking it 😋

Nope, we still don't. just because vault tec was considering doing it doesn't mean they actually got the chance to do it. just think about it, would she have allowed her daughter to go with her dad to a party if she knew the bombs were dropping?

25 years ha , godammit tod

In Fallout 4 there are terminals which strongly hint at Vaultec starting the war

It is twisted yet makes so much sense that Vault Co. themselves dropped the bombs to profit off an actual nuclear fallout, and it's even crazier how the group of businesses were pitching ideas of what each Vault could do as their main tasks despite hardly any of said experiments actually be helpful for humanity. God I cannot wait for a Season 2

Well, it’s implied, at the end of the day it still could have been any of the major parties, or maybe all of them at once. But still so cool to see this lore filled out.

i dont understand this though because money and or stocj price is useless in the apoalyose

@@Burke1O1 I think it is more about power for them, and frankly, it usually always about power, so I imagine Vault Co would use their variety of Vaults around the USA as a way of maintaining control and that is what they originally thought would happen however now, after over, 200 years Vault Co's idea is as unlikely as ever and Lucy is lucky enough to have learnt the truth and left the Vault

Which is ironic because you can't earn money if there isnt anything left... Its like having a trillion dollars but on a desert island. They are all just insane and the problem is, there are actually people nowdays with the same set mentality and that's scary.

@@Burke1O1 I don't think they were doing it for financial gain, I think they were doing it because they saw nuclear war as inevitable and knew that if they were able to wipe the slate clean they would be able to make the world again in whatever image they wanted. It wasn't about actual currency, but the power to create whatever they wanted.

I didn't even recognize him because he was just labeled as RobCo (checked the wiki, didn't realize he founded RobCo so yeah it's him) I am very excited for season 2

​@@Kaal_do_Olaak we are extremely unlikely to see him cus, you know... Yes Man is canon

​@@EPmager How is it? All we see is a fortified Vegas surrounded by desert.

@@alpacalover0 The credit scene goes into the strip and it is an empty ruin..

We kind of don't. They always give suggestions about who could have started it, but they never show who actually started it.

The stuff about Vault-Tec starting the War has been a fan theory for ages. The original creator revealed accidentally that was his idea for the first 2 games, but we didn't know if Bethesda wanted that to be canon. So hearing that was huge!

Well, you're in luck: Amazon greenlit S2 before the first episode of S1 aired. 😊

Season 2 is already green lit, before episode 1 even dropped

On your comment about the depiction of the Brotherhood-that’s sort of the point as the elder here in California seems to be quite a nut & intends to create a split-off faction in order to return to the Brotherhood’s old ways (basically the Outcasts v2.0), presumably discontent with the new approach brought onto them by the East Coast branch. Also, the brotherhood didn’t defeat the NCR-Hank dropped a bunch of nukes onto their capital & that gave the Brotherhood tremendous advantage to overpower most of the NCR remnants (Moldaver’s group being one notable exception).

@@EPmager This new Elder is definitely another Elijah. The fact that he's not a former Paladin but is a "cleric" makes me think that that's the Paladin equivalent of a Scribe now and he's like Elijah,

When she meant curious i took it as the mom figurwd out other intetions Muldaver had after she makea the cold fusion or found out the evil method she takes for her purpose and had her turned to a ghoul

And is probably still alive since they retconned the entire first and second battle of Hoover dam, the Rangers joining the NCR, and the Courier potentially killing Mr. House.

​@@eno6712 how did they ‘retcon’ the 2nd battle? They can pick any outcome as canon and proceed from there.

@@eno6712 they didn’t retcon anything

I want him dead already, he's a bad person I mean not a bad actor or something

I don't think that. He and his wife were separated by then. I think he was repulsed by what his wife was doing and it killed their marriage. I think he saw what was happening with the nukes and knew getting his daughter to a pod would be the only way to keep her alive. I think since he wasn't with his wife before, or he attempted to blow up vault-techs spot he was outed as a communist or something to make him lose credibility. That's why he was doing a birthday party at the beginning of the show.

you mean Barb Howard? Rose is Hank's wife

The remaster info has long been leaked 😛 Likely to start putting them out after Season 2

I'm not a fan of it either, but there are some ways it can make sense Firstly, as of New Vegas it's mentioned that the NCR hold on the Boneyard (LA) is tenuous, so if they began to collapse it makes sense they'd withdraw from there Secondly, Chief Hanlon and the OSI guy at McCarran mention dried out lakes and an impending famine respectively, so the NCR was already on a downward trajectory I don't like Bethesda's approach of nuclear spectacle, would've much preferred a slow collapse through overextension, but given the sign saying Shady Sands is NCR's 'first' capital, it's likely there's a larger functioning city up north, possibly The Hub or New Reno

Idk the NCR literally controlled multiple US states so I'd understand them falling apart but not completely apart

​@thezeronelite yeah I know that the NCR was on burrowed time but I feel like it would've been a process instead of just dying in a single day like the show suggests. Like instead of it being totally gone, there would be pockets still remaining. Where the Hub would exist and still consider it to be part of the NCR and so would Junk Town and other major settlements but the areas in-between them could've fallen back into lawlessness and perhaps the Brotherhood of Steel now felt brave enough to take over some territory. That is more feasible than Bethesda just wanting the wasteland to be totally wild again

@@Spongebrain97 yeah, that's the thing with Bethesda They're not keen on the post-post-apocalypse genre which 2 and NV leaned into

@@thezeronelite yeah Im fine if Bethesda wants a game or tv show where there is no civilization. They've done it in 3, 4, and 76 and so like they dont need to take a rebuilt region like New California and start it over from scratch. There are so many places in America to continue doing what they're doing and it would be fine. Texas, Seattle, New Orleans, Chicago all have blank slates that they can use for a setting

If anything Max and Lucy might switch roles, with her being more willing to shoot first and Max using more restraint.

Aaaaaand you're wrong. Look into the TOMAK reactor in Southerm France, it uses higher elements and is the only feasible form in theory so far. Your education is retrograde.

Too bad "no goverment" would want to release it into public. They would lose control and money that comes from coal or atonimc power plants. Cold fusion is free energy...reason why "Free" is not in any goverment textbook. They would take the tech for themselfs, no more electric bills to pay for their mansions...let the poor pay for power.

I want Thad back, he seemed pretty chill with everything

The best thing about it is that it’s not an adaptation but, rather, an entirely new story told within the universe & one that rapidly advances the world building & events (much more so than Fallout 4 did if you ask me 😜) IMO Lucy’s side of the story definitely does start out very similarly to FO3 & 4, but the twist of her dad being a g-nocidal sociopath takes it to a much higher level than the whole Institute plot. P.s. you mentioned TWD at the end there and I just can’t avoid mentioning how far it’s fallen from grace. I’ve endured all the seasons and spin-offs & never stopped being a fan, yet I can say that the level of greatness seen here on Fallout was last seen on TWD somewhere around season 5 or 6.

I want to see mutants and mirelurks.

Same but since the new Vegas strip appeared at the end, I hope they add geckos and nightstalkers as well as cazadores, lakelurks and not only the other factions in NV but the kings and the followers of the apocalypse should also appear in season 2.

Pretty sure they teased super mutants in Episode 2 during Wilzig's escape from the Institute. And be real; they had to hold something back for Season Two, didn't they? Me, I'm glad they kept something on the shelf.

Hopefully in season 2 with a bigger budget we see more stuff from fallout like this, including even more fallout weapons and stuff.

Season 2 set in NV will give us that itch to scratch. Might get a bigger budget for it too with how successful this season was.

Yea, its crazy how everyone loves the brotherhood when they are so obviously bad in every game. The brotherhood has always and still is just a tech obsessed cult who doesn't believe the common people deserve or are smart enough to handle advanced technology. They kill people who get in their way, even murdered an entire town literally in the show. They extort settlements for food, seen in fallout 4. But the cool power armor clouds peoples' judgement I guess, a cult with military aesthetics charming everyone lol.

​@@FreeEstrogen you could argue that the DC branch was on the right track in FO3 before Maxson took over

@@EPmager Maybe, I just have a burning hatred for the brotherhood

Well, don't count your chickens. There have been increasing rumours that Xbox is testing the waters to make it's exclusives non-exclusives. You may well get a future Fallout games on PS.

Vault tec CEO/founder?

@@greenkidd529 probably. I wonder who will play them!! 😃

Because these guys are very leftist.

Also violates the law of thermodynamics unlike regular fusion ( modern TOMAK reactor in Southern France ) and is a fantasy .

​@@FreeEstrogenthen how come the guy in e7 who took the meds from the vendor healed his injuries even an arrow through the throat. Is he not turning into a ghoul like maximus said?
