What did you think of the Fallout TV series? Where does it sit in your ranking of video game franchise adaptations? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
At least we know the biggest question in fo universe who started the war. Fking theories are correct.
this is hands down the best video game adaption EVER!!! i just finished all 8 episodes. they did every thing perfectly lore wise.
@@DenverStarkey Other than retconning New Vegas.
@@atriggeredsjw8532 they didn';t though. the time line is not real clear. but FO4 took place a few years after NV , and this show takes place some years after FO4 . so there is plenty of time for NV to still fit in cannon having happened before all this. there's been no offical statment reguarding this and many people are just assuming , falsely imo that they retconed it. i'm pretty sure they haven't.
@@markacoustia8210 that's a dumb answer to a question that never really mattered
"vault-tech are the bad guys"
people who have played the games: "no shit'.
No no no…. We knew Vault-Tec were bad guys but we didn’t know they were THE bad guys
We did not know they were the final boss the final boss of final bosses
@@danielcarrera886yeah like we knew it was a corrupt organisation but holy shit they were the ones who dropped the bombs?!? fucking crazy reveal. i’m so hyped for season 2 this show has literally recontextualised all the games
@@danielcarrera886 i though it was the enclave because of the lost control of the country who forced the president and the enclave to flee to their petroleum base.
@@wolfrid770
I mean Vault-Tec, Enclave, Institute… now they are all one in the same
Hell who says The Institute was only operating in Boston. In the first 2 games we just thought the Enclave was operating in California but surprise surprise they were also operating in DC and don’t forget about Appalachia and Chicago.
This tv show just expanded the lore immensely. Ya it may have retconned some games or moved them in the timeline but people are saying new Vegas is now non-canon but maybe it just happened a couple years early then we originally thought
None of the games ever confirmed Vault Tec dropped the bombs, tho they have hinted at it.
Coop literally died inside when he heard his wife proposed that Vault-Tec should drop the first bombs, and he's also the inspiration for the poster boy of Vault-Tec... What a dynamic, interesting character.
He may not be the MAIN main character but he is so ridiculously close. I like Lucy & she's a gem but he is such a great character with a wonderful actor & performance.
@@gaelofariandel6747 Lol i guess you mean gem not gym.
@@Ryan-zv3os Fixed. Passing out from 12 hour shift & 4 hours sleep, lol
I heard the bomb in Megaton has a faded Vault-Tec logo on it. Either way it’s a lot more interesting to me than a world war. I like to believe they did it.
He played essentially what was 2 roles and merged them into 1 seamlessly
the fact that we got to see mr house in live action before he was mr house is crazy
that whole scene was amazing
how could he be mr house the events take place years after new vegas
@@HIPPNIGHTS504 it was a pre-war flashback.
Noooot certain that was Mr. House, his brother had taken over Robco, he was busy in vegas, if I recall correctly and didn't have much for vault-tec
@@cylerrubin3178 The end credits listed him as Robert House so that is Mr. House from FNV. He even mentioned casinos during their banter in the Vault-Tec meeting.
“Patrolling the Mojave makes me wish for a nuclear winter” type ending
Nuclear winter the patrolling makes me wish for a mojave
PRAISE THE LORD GOD HOWARD, YES!!!! i hope we see courier six in season 2
Well the NCR trooper finally got his wish.
Now it's retconned, they blew it,
The Fact they Retcon New Vegas makes you wish for a nuclear wintter
F*ck Bethesda
The fact that the lucky 38 is shown at the end suggests that they might mention the legion in the next series
I doubt they'd go there with how many non-politically correct thing The Legion does, and if they do they are probably going to tone and water them down, make them less radical.
@FlymanMS This series is very not pc, though 😅
@@angelaizen2231 that's what I was gonna say
@@Danmasonnnn literally shows Lucy getting beat to shit almost every episode 🤣 ah yes, definitely PC
@@angelaizen2231 so you think they are going to show Legion as a military dictatorship with slavery like they were depicted in the game? Too risky for corporate product.
Fallout Season 2 was already confirmed the day before the show dropped.
That's awesome!
I'm guessing the test viewers gave the show a pretty good review for it to be greenlighted before public release. Its a good show, can get a little boring at times but so can the games so its true to the source material.
I mean, they were right to do it, and to end it with a. Shot of new Vegas, it's like "hey season one was fallout 3 and 4, ready for new Vegas?" And I just came
@@genildomiranda1690moreso 1 & 2 since its set in the same place. But yeeee so excited
@@007TrickShotz but you also got the vault dweller who left after her father because of mysterious reasons related to his past, also, they straight up megatonned shady sands
I just realized the Betty that was in the office with the Cooper Howard in the flashbacks is the same Betty that’s overseer of vault 33
Only high ranking vaultec die hard emloyees got frozen and well get to come back and become overseers in vault 33

BLAM!
@@saifag6685 New Vegas takes place in 2281
i wish i had norms terminal hacking skills
Norm got through the overseer’s terminal in one attempt! I thought he was gonna have to exit and reaccess the terminal like people do when playing the game. 😂
@@Callsign_Neuro same 😂. Or at least remove some duds
@@Callsign_Neuro Okay but at the same time he is locked in a room with a simple way out.. simply threaten to pull the plugs on the sleep chambers. Thats the only big flaw I saw in that story sequence.
I was wondering what the difficulty was
@@ProdByCaritbf he was panicking pretty hard since he stepped foot in vault 31. Probably not thinking the clearest.
fuck weekly bullshit. I am so glad they released it at once so u can watch it all in 1 breath and truly feel the story
yeah, each episode felt seamless.
Agree, to easy to forget and lose interest over 2 months…
Agree and hopefully they will release all of the episodes at once for season 2 as well 🙏
@@tommysinss baby attention spans
I can see both perspectives. I do having some more time to enjoy and think about a story, that you get with weekly releases, but i do also enjoy getting to experience the entire thing in one go.
The way my 34 year old dad jumped out of his scene after seeing the final shot. ok he didn't really jump, he just said "nice"
❤❤❤
how is your father only 34? how old are u?

Ngl When I saw the lucky 38 I may have started kicking my feet in the air n shit
@@cyovu loll that’s so weird bro wth (me fucking too)😹😹😹
This blew away expectations. I thought it would be just a decent video game adaptation but it was a great stand alone series. If I never knew about the games id still love this series.
Sameee here! Was expecting to be let down. BUT I WASNT! at all actually. Pleasantly surprised. Super excited for season 2 now haha
This is why you never judge a book by its cover I've been waiting for this show since it was told to the world it was being made and my expectations where never low for it 1000000000000\10 for this show
@@jazminmunoz8955 Did Amazon pay you to shill for this mediocre crap?
Yeah it was good fun but nothing brilliant, so many retcons too@@ColonelBragg
This shits on the lore
I was really impressed with Norms acting. Despite his subtle and low key demeanor, you could really sense the emotions he was experiencing in every scene.
It was well done, he's very talented
Not gonna lie Fallout tops Halo 100%
Well it's a low mark to top tbh
the two can't even be compared.
the Fallout show IS Fallout.
the Halo show ISN'T Halo.
one stayed true to the source material while the other was just a generic sci-fi show with the Halo name on it
Its better than my music
What about twisted metal?
That isnt high bar to beat.
Idk abt you guys but seeing a few Sunset Sarsaparilla billboards completed me 😂
Ya I seen em. Not even crazy about nv like some people but enjoyed it
That NCR flags, ranger gear new Vegas theme this show has more references to new Vegas than all of F4 also Mr house and BIG MT WTF. I'm loving this show I need season 2
The moment I saw a Sunset Sarsaparilla billboard, I was so hyped! SS > Nuka Cola!
@@YOGI-kb9tg when did the vegas theme play?? O:
how did i miss that?
@@JamminPalmerit played in two different times, one whith a scavenger family with NCR costumes and when Lucy finds out the time line of Shady Sands
Alternative ending for Norm:
He goes over to the brain driving a roomba. Turns it upside down.
"Open the door, or stay like this forever."
Doors open.
Couldn't he threaten to destroy the pods? Like hes stuck in there with them he can hack so in theory he could cut the life support
@@projectboy5409 That would probably be a viable threat too.
it pretty much confirmed a long running theory that Vault Tec started the war, it was even mention since the first or second game came out almost 30 years ago
This comment made me feel old
Didn’t play the first two games. Did they actually confirm that vault tech dropped the bombs ?
@@N.barakos1845 they haven’t but Todd Howard confirmed the show follows the games canon
@@N.barakos1845 but it’s strongly implied that’s Vault Tec did do it in the games
@@N.barakos1845it is also implied in Fallout 3. The bomb in Megaton has Vault-Tecs logo on it
It’s impressive how well they have captured the vibe of the games. The environments, character design, the acting and the crazy story itself are done so well. This show is fantastic especially so if you’ve played the games.
I love the games but this show is far from them...
Nah this show had the vibe of bethesdas fallout and if you've only played fallout 4 and 76 you get the same vibe.
@@TheSledgehammer2024 I never said the show was the same as the games. By vibes I mean it FEELS like the settings of the games.
@@shanenonwolfe4109 But Fallout 3 and New Vegas were the best... Most people didn't like 76... Fallout 4 is only truly awesome with all the mods replacing characters...
It captured the crappy Bethesda games but not the real Fallout games
I understand that Shady Sands got nuked but this shouldnt completely remove NCR presence in this region. The Boneyard in LA should still have alot of power in the area. If the destruction of Shady Sands completely sent the NCR into chaos, it should allow the legion to completely storm the place as a whole like they planned in NV.
I think they’re scattered across the wasteland but it would be weird if most of them are wiped out from just shady sands being nuked. I also wonder if they’ll show Caesar’s legion in season two and if they also played a hand since in new Vegas they say the next is spread too thin
@@goldenniffler5199 I hope they go into the politics of the NCR like the Brahmin Barons
Finally someone who understands. It's like the Enclave they weren't completely wiped out these are the remnants
It seems this thread has some like minded people. I was also thouroughly pleased by this show and I dont believe for a second that the BoS just fully wiped them out right there. The NCR def gonna have an underdog arc/comeback story after this
@@ethangilbert4896 the show was very enjoyable to watch hoping season 2 can keep up
Stood up like i won the lottery when i saw new vegas at the end 😭
So glad I'm not the only one who celebrated like a nutjob 😍
Cheers to someone who can enjoy things
WHO WON THE LOTTERY? I DID! YEEAAH!
Me too
@@SgtRex-ww3fkOOOHH YEAH SMELL THAT AIR, COULDN'T YOU DRINK IT LIKE BOOZE!
Whats great about this show is you cant really say anyone carried the show. The multiple angles and portrayals of different people and views all bound together nicely can only hope for the next season to be even better
fr!’ all 3 mixed completely well, while certain episodes one of them showed out more than the others! it was beautiful fr
Facts! When I watch most shows, I can’t wait for the “boring” parts to be over and the interesting stuff to resume. But here, it was all super interesting!
False. Walton Goggins carried the show
@@Ornballs445 in my opinion he didn’t so it literally does not matter lmfaoo
They were all great for sure, but hard to deny the Ghoul is the standout. Without him I'm not sure the show would've been nearly as good. Goggins really elevated the cast
I was up till 4 am finishing the season, it was awesome
Same here definitely one of the best video game shows period! This one is in a league of it's own.
Same dude! I’m glad I had the past two days off!
5:30am... work in 1.5 hours 😅 worth it 100 times over to start my fubar friday with a smile
4.02am my brother good night 😂😂😂
I finished it at 4am too lmfao
That had to be New Vegas at the end. It looked like the Strat surrounded my mountains in the distance…in the desert too.
It is new vegas
Watch the credits of the last episode. They confirm that its New Vegas there.
it is new vegas, but new vegas has been sacked and destroyed from the looks of it, there are securitron corpses littering the ground in the final credits shot
LA is relatively close so I am sure it is indeed New Vegas.
@@macrocosm2778most likely the courier defeated NCR and Caesar killed Mr house then left so the tribes start fighting each other over who control the strip.
The only reason RUclipsrs want seasons to be released weekly... Is so they can profit off of more content and ad revenue!! I say screw that, screw them! An release it all at once so we can binge-watch the shit out of it! I would not have been as invested in the series if I had to wait weeks at a time to continue watching it.
Absolutely agree
Like that chick with cancer 😂
If and when the second series comes out I hope its released like this season 🙏
Exactly!
yeah i do hate the waiting weekly for my itch hit... i'm in the crowd that waits for a complete season.
i wonder if they'll do a nod to the mysterious stranger's son that's hanging around new vegas?
I’m kinda surprised that none of the characters have directly mentioned the “NCR” besides the city of Shady Sands as the big focal point. Instead the writers decide to brush it off.
Ex. Lucy is asking Maximus about what happened during the last 200 years, but the writers decide for Maximus not to mention about the NCR-Brotherhood conflict, etc. instead its just interrupted or the subject changes
there literally so many ncr flags everywhere
@@skye7184 Right???? Then no one talks about the NCR??? Not even Lucy asks about wtf the flag is, etc. Its just all Shady Sands, Shady Sands…
@@valianthistoriangamer7137 Yeah it was a bit weird, I liked how the series didnt try to name drop anything to make fans hype, but like not mentioning ncr when they are a major part of the plot is strange
@@skye7184 agreed, while I am a fan and I hoped for references for FNV. I understand your point. I just hoped they would expand a little more on the NCR considering their part in the show
I think the way their going is since the entire NCR government was in shady sands so when it got nuked the ncr just fell apart as it was already described that people did not really like the ncr and I believe the forces we see fight the brotherhood at the observatory are remnant forces still fighting for what’s right
To think this whole time it was Coop who we saw with his thumbs up around all these games lol
Norm hacking skill maxed out. Fallout 4 theme heard for a moment.
He didn't even need to remove the duds.
Seeing all the references such as Vera Keyes and big mountain. All the References made my head explode. Without a collar 😆
the fact you see New Vegas in the background at the end... gave me chills and blew my brain open... 2274 House emerged his bots from the Securitron Valut, 15 years later after the courier (fallout new Vegas), we see Howard walking in his stolen T60 armor towards New Vegas.... Love it
I hate people who say it should be weekly. Like no one is forcing you to watch it all at once. You could just watch 1 a week and let us binge people do our thing
seeing New Vegas at the end and the fact that Hank was heading there makes me think they are going to go with Mr. House winning and taking over the Mojave as the Cannon ending of Fallout New Vegas. After all we seen Mr. House in that pre-war meeting. he was the guy from RobCo.
Also, regarding Hank arriving at New Vegas, was anyone disappointed they didn’t have him arrive at night, his approach toward the Deathclaw skull silent, and as Vegas came into view, ‘Blue Moon’ starts playing?
I've been a fan of the Fallout franchise for a long time. I've spent more time then I care to admit learning about the different locations and backstories from the games. So seeing all of these little easter eggs pop up was a great joy. And seeing the show actually be really fucking good was even better. I am very excited for season 2
I literally laughed out loud when I heard that New Vegas and Shady Sands got nuked. It's so comical that you just know that Todd himself gave Nolan the orders to write that in, just out of sheer spite for Obsidian and Interplay.
That's EXACTLY what I thought. The HOUSE always wins LOL
He hates New Vegas.
Edit:Even if he doesn't, there's still a lot of lore inconsistencies that didn't get elaborated on and needs an explanation, if you're a lore nerd you may not like the lore and timeline inconsistencies.
And at the end, they went to new vegas to make the hock, Todd try to retcon new vegas but, the game is still been the pillar to hype the fans XD
when did they say vegas was nuked??
yep its what i thought too, i like the show honestly, it looks great and the designs are all pretty rad(lol), but you can really see the Todd Howard influence when every fucking thing is a shanty town and BOS is the cool guy faction again, and shady sands getting destroyed in 2277 means FNV(2281) is probably retconned. fucking sucks as a fan of FNV / non shanty town fallouts.
Fallout New Vegas being Season 2 is going to be sick.
Ikr im excited
Literally just finished the last episode 3 mins before coming here.
GREAT SHOW, GREAT STORY!! Can’t wait for season !!!!
You serious?
@@CommunistHydra yeah the show is great. Cant wait for season 2
@@CommunistHydrayou weirdos love to complain and hate on things.
@@RussianCowb0yYou can still criticize something while liking it especially when they made lore inaccuracies. Better than AKs and Tahoes in the future like Halo did
@@dubjubs it actually doesn’t mess up any of the lore.
Robert House is one of my favorite characters, getting to see him in the show was super awesome for me.
The Ghoul is kinda hot. He has such a personality and is so complex... But also yeah sex appeal. Kind of awesome how they pulled that off.
so it was Mr House, huh? in that part with Vault-Tec meeting
Mr. House had massive aura during the meeting.
@@milikit768 yus! So exciting
@@cheese4825 epic BDE
Considering there is a very vocal part of the community who has the hots for Hancock. . .I'm not exactly surprised by this development. 😅
The credits show that New Vegas has fallen and the sky is orange. Kinda makes me think they’ve canonized Fallout: Dust, which I think might actually be the perfect way to somewhat include the Courier. The timeline almost adds up too.
How would you include the courier?
Have them role up in the ranger suit, and not talk? Just kick ass?
@@FezMooseLive SOMEWHAT include the Courier. As in he’s responsible for the whole thing and could be mentioned. That’s what Fallout: Dust is all about.
@@FezMooseLiveyes
The problem is that everyone has thier own playstyle/personality of thier characters in fallout games to that end the courier personally shouldn't be added.
@@thomasgeorge5327 But this way of going about it doesn’t need to do anything like that and make anything about the Courier canon except for what is already definitive.
Lucy didn't actually kill the scientist with the acid. He (the man with the nose on his forehead) was standing during her trial - and had half of his face covered.
Why would House or Sinclair sign off with the nuking ? Their entire stories kind of revolve around not knowing exactly when this would happen and the repercussions thereof.
There are probably layers of obfuscation throughout vault tech. Not everyone knew of the plan. Only those higher up did. However, house and Sinclair probably guessed or predicted that something would happen. They might have played ball partially to get inside access and technical support. However… both men also planned some moves of their own. Making deals outside of vault tech with groups like big Mt or the us army, stuff that vault tech could not control. Both sides probably felt like they had more time than they actually did. So it was a scramble towards the end.
Well as we all know, vault tech was originally the ones who dropped the bombs. That was written into the Fallout Bible. And, if you really believe what you hear alone based off what House himself says, and not just echo-chambering conjecture, may wanna ask yourself why he had his own vault built into Vegas in the first place. Or why he built his own SDI defense platform into the Lucky 38. And it makes perfect sense why they would man…why would Sinclair build the Sierra Madre if he didn’t know for certain it would be a safe haven for Vera. And in-fact, he did. It’s in his logs, if you actually read them.
So no, they’re entires stories don’t revolve around that, it’s what they were planning on doing after. House would build a nation, Sinclair would protect the one he loved.
@@Limbopiod I suppose that is true. Vault tech also has been remarkably cutthroat as well as we have seen in the past. there is a ton of backstabbing and its potentially possible that whilst they were partially in on the plan, both had very different views on what they wanted compared to vault tech. Sinclair was willing to align with vault tech to ensure that Vera and the sierra madre would be a safe haven in the cataclysm. meanwhile house was more pragmatic. as he does state in the meeting that he doesn't have 100% faith that vault tech can even pull off their vision of rebuilding society, considering that just how many of their vaults are likely to just die off or fail. and further more, whilst house might have supported the vault and ensuring it could remain secure for one of vault techs 'experiments', he was likely set on making sure that it would be HOUSE, and Robco that saved and controlled vegas. that he was in charge of Vegas, Not Vault tech. it could also still have been house got the date wrong because vault tech panicked. people might have caught wind of the scheme, or an investigation might have been mounted into corruption within the company. vault tech would have been ruined or thwarted because of a government investigation. so they triggered it early.
honestly... it seems fitting. in the end, it was a scramble for all parties. vault tech had planned to survive the apocalypses, of making the apocalypses happen if they needed to and they had a date and a lot of vaults were nearly ready to come on line all over the place. then... a leak... an scheduled investigation is in play to look into what vault tech is up to. Panic. if the investigation happens, vault tech will be ruined. hell their partners will point the finger at them to save face. might as well activate the nukes. burn the world. and hope that its good enough. meanwhile house sees the nukes coming. he struggles to get defenses online, he manages to save vegas but... not all of it. his calculations off because of the timing.
meanwhile at the sierra madre, Sinclair is rushing on his own. he has to rectify a mistake he has made... he is almost there. to save vera from the fate he brought about with his own hands. an explosion rocks the sierra madre to near its foundations, and the tremor causes Sinclair to fall, breaking his body on a metal pipe... his last moments filled with regret.
I wouldn’t be surprised if vault-tec told half truths. I mean they lied about the say of the vaults,no problem with them lying to everyone in that board meeting
Im wondering if they'll show a DeathClaw in Season 2
Hope we see a bethemoth
@@WiseOne93me too
There was a deathclaw skull at the end of episode 8. So maybe.
Thought for sure the yaoguia was gonna be a deathclaw…
Definitely. Season 2 will be the bigger and better. Established characters, Established conflict and Mojave setting. Hope they don't mess up the plot though cuz definitely there'll be a lot of characters.
Holy fuck they absolutely smashed this show out of the park, I didn't expect it to be this good, and holy shit the multiple reveals at the end
Great production quality
If you ever played the games with the pip boy radio playing, you’d know that their choice of songs were directly from that pool and brought up even more nostalgia. They knew what they were doing and nailed it.
They shit on the NCR so bad in this show. Why is all the progress they did in California now rubble during the New Vegas timeline? How is the brotherhood a strong faction when they are in a war of survival against the NCR
New Vegas isnt entirely considered canon by bethesda. Parts of it are parts of it aren't. i guess in the timeline they are going for the events of New Vegas played out differently. also the brotherhood we see isnt the Hidden Valley BoS and the airship is from the east coast as is mentioned in the show
As was pointed out below my statement about New Vegas not being canon is incorrect and the game is considered a part of the Bethesda canon
@@Tozzpot500 that’s even worse.
@@TheBML2 while i dislike that fact as NV is my favourite game, the show is pretty solid and its clear the writers did their best to include as much of what people loved of New Vegas as they could with Todd breathing down their neck. Tbh the inclusion of House and Sinclair as well as the Big MT reference and the fact that seemingly New Vegas got a version of the House ending judging by how fortified it looks is more than i was ever hoping for personally as i had a feeling NV was gonna be retconned out of existance. Little victories i guess
They basically did retcon New Vegas since Shady Sands got nuked in 2277, basically wiping out the NCR.
@@Tozzpot500Emil Pagliaruli himself has said that New Vegas is canon and there is no reason to suggest otherwise… literally today on Twitter. Stop spouting misinformation
Didn't really get into this series but was intrigued by some of the episode structure and ideas conveyed.
All or at least most of the music are also played in the fallout games too. That’s one of the many things I loved about this show
glad to know everything we players did to save and help Shady Sands worked out in the end :)
That’s what makes its destruction so painful and it’s to make us and not just Lucy, Coop and Max want to vengeance against vault tech and Hank.
My only real gripe with the series was that gunfight in the hallway in episode 8, the T-60 armour has a flashlight right on the friggin helmet.
yeahh i and many people noticed/complained about that lol its right there. i think generally i didnt like how the bos knights were basically just portrayed as idiot fratboys as if they didnt receive any training at all to use their armor.
@@ChrisOfChin Clearly the quality of the recruits and their training has dropped dramatically.
That was kinda the point I think they made with Titus....they were just toaster collectors in power armor
Lucy is a great example of character development.
This series was done so incredibly well. I am a massive fallout fan and this blew me away the level of detail they put into it and from episode 1 i was hooked.
It's the best game adaption and really excited for season 2
Hopefully we'll get a deathclaw next season. I thought the yao gaui bear was a deathclaw at first lol.
Just in case spoilers
Guys I lost my shit when I saw New Vegas!!!! I wonder if we're gonna get some NCR Rangers action
One problem....THERE IS no Mysterious Stranger Perk guy to save any characters in the show! LOL
@@coolgamers2794 The Ghoul is the mysterious stranger hahaha
@@fray3dendsofsanityyup, the 1vs3 T-60 + 10 soldiers was crazy, this dude know everything
I was skeptical about this series.. but you really nailed it.. the feeling of thousands and thousands of hours of playing Fallout was awakened.. the series as a game.. enjoyment.. perfect
I LOVE the fact they released ALL 8 episodes at once. I hope they do so again for season 2. ✌
We all thought Vault-Tec were long gone... This show takes place after all of the games, imagine the next Fallout game now that we know the ENTIRE VAULT-TEC STAFF are still alive in Vault 31
Hahahahahaha new game???😅😂😂😂 Keep dreaming
We all knew they were bad guys but we didn’t know they were THE bad guys.
We always thought it was the enclave or groups like the legion. But it is like Maximus said, everyone wants to save the world but just disagree on how.
But it turns out it’s not just vault tech but every company is involved. I wouldn’t be shocked if Mr House was involved to just to get in control over new Vegas and turn it into his own state.
From my understanding of Fallout New Vegas lore Mr. House did not rebuild New Vegas until the NCR started moving in. I mean why would you teach a bunch of tribes to run casinos if no one is going to play in them. So my current theory is the ending of the season will be the start of New Vegas rather than them retconning Fallout New Vegas to oblivion.
Also if any show writers are listening, here's how to retcon your retcon with blowing up shady sands. During the BOS war the Brotherhood nuked the NCR's gold supply and tanked their economy. This was used to explain why the game uses primary caps for trading rather than actual money by Obsidian. Of course blowing up a gold reserve is a bit nonsensical, but blowing up a capital would probably be more realistic in this scenario. So retconning your retcon to have the NCR still recovering and facing the economic ramifications rather than just rolling over and dying would better.
Anyway that's my two cents, feel free to leave yours or correct me if I got anything wrong.
If they have to retcon a retcon they've already failed, SW sequels showed it long ago.
It can't be the show takes place after fallout 4 fallout new vegas happens like 10 years before 4
@@xxkingzeroxx__9943 A lot of things can happen in 16 years in the fallout universe
Fallout New Vegas takes place in 2281, so they literally retconned all of New Vegas with this show and wiped the NCR from existance because Todd Howard hates New Vegas.
Honestly thought it was earlier in the timeline, but knowing Bethesda and their inability to write a constant timeline I wouldn't be surprised if it was somehow 1668.
Finally got to see it and cudos for Prime to broadcast this for bing watching. It got me on the tip of my chair. Although I did not understand the timeline exactly since Maximus witnessed the nuclear blasts while it actually happened 200 years back. I also missed the presence of the Institution, but that could be related to the cliffhanger at the end for the second series?
There’s one scene that I just love so much is the way when they revealed that Barb was like dropping the bomb, I was shocked love they did that and especially Goggins acting I normally don’t know how good is actor is Goggins I regularly known him from Ant Man and The Wasp but that man could act. Can see him win a award
Oh shit just realized the show takes place after Fallout New Vegas. Maybe we’ll see victor. This shit is definitely gonna be popular now. Finally I’ll get to nerd the f out on fallout lore.
It's already popular lol. It's just gonna get worst now that no one who made new vegas or any fallout set on the west coast is involved in this show
@@shanenonwolfe4109 damn I didn’t think about that. No I just meant now that they have a show everyone who hasn’t played any of the games are gonna be talking about it. I was surprised they even included the NCR though. They even had the New Vegas theme song lol. I binged the whole thing at 1 am
Personally hoping for Yes Man. That would be an absolute riot if he shows up
All I hope is they didn't fuck it up like Westworld again.
Nah they killed it wit this series
bro I was on the floor seeing the very last shot of the last episode. So fucking excited for season 2. Never ever did I expect this show to be THIS fucking good.
waiting for the radio background with johnny blue...absolute masterpiece
Could this show imply that civilizations in DC and Boston were nuked after the war leading to the glowing Sea and and Underdeveloped capitol wasteland?
Yes and no. Half the enclave and half the institute.
I was mad that dudes leg didn't bleed out. Then I remembered the Institute and I was like "Ok, we're good!"
They reference high chaplains or something in the commonwealth, so it’s safe to say Boston was nuked by the BoS on their conquest against the Tute’s. That’s not to say the minutement didnt take out the Prydwen after! Dont believe me? Theres a Brotherhood resistance team held up in this safe house in Boston, here I’ll mark it on your map. Good luck general 🫡
@@Limbopiod I bet the brotherhood ending is going to be the canon ending considering how much Bethesda loves BoS.
@@Limbopiod also the billboard in the show said NCRs first capital implying a second one. I’m guessing the Hub based on how much it’s mentioned in New Vegas and by Kellogg in FO4 but that could just be my headcanon trying to cope with the fact that they blew up shady sands
They need to remaster new vegas
*Remake.
NCR
Brotherhood of Steel
The Enclave
Mr. House
Possible Caesar's Legion & Yes Man....
Season 2 is gonna be crazy
I cant wait for them to really introduce the enclave and the "to the stars" concepts.
I wonder if the westworld creators are aware of the eldrich deep lore hints and radiation gods.
I knew that Vault Tec was messed up! I want season 2 now :P
So let me give this straight, now NCR is gone because 1 nuke in Sandy Sands ?
.
This is huge in lore of game but the show didn't even take it seriously.
I mean we talking about fraction that conquer the west coast for almost a century and one day boom gone just like that ?
NCR isn't gone, scattered yes, but not gone. Jesus they were in your face in the final episode fight, not to mention the Vault 4 episodes - and you have to realize how much damage a dirty bomb could do 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
Muh permanent wasteland
@@mistermorphescarnoe2898 Stop defending Bethesda's desperate attempt at keeping fallout as a permanent wasteland.
Basically wiped from existence, Shady Sands is the capital of the NCR where all of the political figureheads are in California.
I doubt it in new vegas its already shown that the ncr is weak they were stretched thin and also with the death of tandi they fell into corruption
That scene with the shows rendition of the Fallout New Vegas theme playing as Lucy pulls the NCR flag up is amazing. I wasn't upset they didnt have the Fallout theme as the shows intro but it was definitely something that would've been awesome, but hearing it in small bursts like that is way better.
honestly, seeing Mr House at the big table was already a big surprise and then seeing New vegas at the end made me sooo excited and happy. Def waiting for a season 2
I just want to know where the Enclave fit in all of this because they still exists in one of the episodes but Vault Tec are the big bad guys in the TV show and the entire franchise this time and they are barely mentioned maybe not even aware of Vault Tec plans as we don't see them at all in the flashbacks.
That guy was just one ex enclave scientist, I think. The enclave was almost all completely wiped out. Unless they've decided to retcon that, and have them be rebuilt, which wouldn't be great.
“Durr befesda gunna brung back enclave agannn ang made therm da vilan”
“Bethesda brought back the enclave but they have a minor role”
“Durrr enclave neds biger roll hurrr”
@@angelaizen2231 no it’s multiple enclave scientist and in an enclave stronghold. The enclave is the tenants of the us government so it would be stupid to only have one base.
@Leavemealone670 bro, the enclave lost every single war against the brotherhood and ncr. Their oil rig (imagine shady sands but enclave) was destroyed, the last remnants of their main fighting force were wiped out at the arroyo power station, what was left of their scientists are in nevada, know as the enclave remnants, their president was murdered by the chosen one, Frank horrigan was oblitered, the NCR killed what was left on the west coast at navarro, there is literally no possibility of the enclave getting that big in 10 to 15 years and nobody knowing anything about it.
The Enclave shouldn’t be anywhere in California as their two largest bases(Navarro and the oil rig) were destroyed and their members hunted by the NCR and Brotherhood.
Ok… I was a little confused. Was Shady Sands wiped off the map by the Brotherhood or Vault-Tec? If memory serves me right, isn’t Lucy’s Father responsible for destroying Shady Sands? How though??? There’s no way Vault-Tec has some idk leftover 200 year old nuclear arsenal? The writers need to explain this better…
You can literally find lost nukes and fire them in Fallout 76 lol, Megaton was built entirely around an unexploded nuke you could actually detonate if you wanted to, there is plenty of precedence in the Fallout world that there are still nukes around. The whole schtick of Vaults 31/32/33 is that they were expressly put in place to maintain Vault Tecs, in particular Buds', vision as to how post-war America should look, so the idea that they've tucked away 'security measures' isn't too farfetched to me, especially given the fact that Vault Tec dropped the first bomb. Not too much of a stretch imo
@@Chilipotamus Sure. Not to mention the nukes in Hopeville where the courier could nuke either or both legion or ncr. I just hope this could be explained better in the show…
In the events of F2, I can see why the Enclave perhaps didn’t do anything about the whole Vaults 31/32/33 schtick, but I’m pretty sure the Enclave were secretly controlling Vault-Tec (Government Contractor.) here and there. Check the pre-war scene where the corporations are meeting. Barb glances up at a looming figure. I’m sure they’re implying of a greater power behind the scenes that being the Enclave
So here’s my question: How come the Enclave didn’t know or use this “security measure” as you call it in Fallout 2? Why do it later in 2277 when they could have used it way earlier?
While Vault-Tec maybe separate from the Enclave doesn’t mean that the Enclave wouldn’t know about a highly valuable stash of nuclear weapons nor would give them one with good reason
Ulysses had a whole facility ready to nuke both the bear and the bull
@@luwak926 mentioned this in my reply above. However they were dormant and only the courier not knowingly delivered the nukes’ detonator, but at least from the lore bits you can read around the Divide its explainable than just getting some nukes out of nowhere.
At least give the audience some buildup or a flashback scene of Lucy’s father finding so nuke and using it
@@Chilipotamusnuking the map in 76 is literally just a gameplay mechanic lmao
SInce it's New Vegas, I believe Hank is seeking help from Mr. House instead, as the sole leader of New Vegas & Rob Co.
It would be great if Benny is still alive.
Iv just completed the season and its absolutly amazing. One of the beat imo. Every aspect is just perfect
Im so glad this show was good. Thank you amazon.
IS MR HOUSE ALIVE 😶🌫
Most likely in a pod like we saw in Vault 31
@@mylifeasricky6715that doesn’t make any sense the lucky 38 is shown and mr house is there so it’s possible the house ending is canon
@@liveslugreaction6509 Well actually just because we see the lucky 38 it doesn't mean House is still alive. The courier could have still killed him so any endind could still be canon imo
@@liveslugreaction6509 or the Yes man version.
@@YanPagh I don't think that's the case. In the Yes man and House versions, New Vegas controls a massive army of securitrons capable of fighting off any military force including the BOS. Given the state of New Vegas from the ending, I'm leaning towards the NCR or Legion endings having taken place. It would make sense if New Vegas falls if NCR won since it would be like a domino effect when they lost Shady Sands. Whoever they were fighting during the fall, they probably were sent back to Shady Sands and were spread thin just like during New Vegas when they were fighting the Caesar's legion. Then again, they did have the actual Robert House in the flashback. It would make sense for them to bring him back in the post apocalypse and at the very least have some sort of interaction with Hank McClane with Mr. House. I guess it could go either way, but it doesn't seem to make sense to me that New Vegas looks so messed up if the army of securitrons were active and able to protect it.
This show captured fallout in a way that I didn’t expect. I felt like I caught every little thing and it absolutely blew me away. I probably missed a bunch of Easter eggs tho.
Pretty sure Norm poisoned the raiders and set up the lady guarding them with that cake he gave her. We know he wanted them dead.
I thought the overseer did that
@@AR-yd2nd That was my read as well. She had everything planned out and immediately moved to the next phase of the plan (reassigning all the residents and giving overseer power to the blond one eyed lady that was also from Vault Tec) once their deaths played out. She even scolded Norm that his words carry weight and implied that she agreed with him that they needed to go especially given that their water chip was damaged and they couldn't sustain feeding the raiders. Given she's from Vault-tec, she might actually admire his ruthlessness to eliminate outsiders and is guiding him towards the darker Vault-tec managment path.
Even her short talk earlier with him to tone it down seemed almost supportive and encouraging his mindset, but to be aware of the perception of others. I don't think it's random that she kept him with her in vault 33 rather than sending him away.
I cannot wait to see what these writers do with a continuation of New Vegas. It seems like they’re going with the dust route of a ruined Vegas, and I’m all in on that route. I would give anything for a cameo with Danny Trejo as Raul once again.
How was Moldova still alive after all those years, was she frozen or a ghoul it was never explained.
That’s what I was wondering. She obviously wouldn’t have been in vault 31 but it never explained. Unless I totally missed it.
I’m assuming she was frozen but yeah they left some questions up in the air guess we have to wait for season 2
She created the cold fusion, they probably have their own cryo technology.
@@unclechaw1894 Lucy's father mentions that she was frozen just like him.
Shady Sands fell in 2277 but the timeline on the board til its nuked goes on a bit. Maximus was about 5 years old when he was rescued which would place things around 2282 which fits with New Vegas timeline.
I agree about the music. As a long time fan of the games, I could place every song into the games
That's awesome!
We’re going to New Vegas, baby!!!! Good Ol Overlord Todd Howard riding Obsidian’s coattails and deciding to set the game in the west coast!
Also, who else was super hyped when Cooper’s wife said the famous line, “War…War Never Changes” ?!?!
bethesda writing moment
For real. Riding Obsidian’s coattails.
My heart rate visibly raised when I saw that iconic New Vegas skyline. Hope we get to see some remnants of Caesar's Legion. From the end credits it seems as if New Vegas is abandoned
how could you tell my dude still looked like he was a few miles from there in that shot
There is no way Norm is stuck there... he is too smart and even if he is locked in there he can simply threaten to pull the plugs/break those cryosleep chambers with all the important employees. If he doesn't that would be fairly bad writing unless there is an excuse.
Yeah that's fair!
just finished all 8 episodes holy shtio they did every thing so perfectly .. in an age where peopel are ruining their IP's left and right with either bullshit in game , or complete nonsense on movie and tv screens... some one actually did an amazing freaking job ... some one finnaly got it ... they finnally did a game to screen conversion that didn't completely dick around with every thing taht made the game great and they just told us a wonderful story in that game's universe.
i am ready for season 2 now ...
also any one watching that ending that played the games KNOWS that location her dad is heading towards... !!!!
they literally retconned shady sands and changed the events of fallout new vegas, they got rid of the midwestern brotherhood and didn’t even mention caesar’s legion once, they brought the fallout 4 brotherhood into the west coast with no explanation and they changed the idea of mr house, explain how they did it perfectly again?
What do you mean it was perfect? They literally shit all over the non Bethesda lore.

No they didn't.
@@vetarlittorf1807They did. The NCR is more or less dead and Shady Sands was nuked “BEFORE” the events of New Vegas which means NV never happened.
@@vetarlittorf1807 Sands bombed 2277, new vegas takes place 2281
I'm fine with the story. Chris Avellone talked about destroying the NCR in New Vegas since he had problems with it, but they didn't do that. You would have to read all the old notes and videos about these things from 2010 and later. New Vegas might not be destroyed since everything looks destroyed anyway but since New Vegas was protected by House and the strip was saved, from the ending look, it could be now. The Independent chaotic ending with Lonesome Road nukes launched against both sides, the writers went with that ending lol. I was hoping they wouldn't say Vault-Tec launched the ICBMs, or at least dropped or detonated Bombs, but maybe they blew up Bombs which caused the USA to launch ICBMs and then China and USSR and the rest. They were going to use that in the movie they thought about making in the early 2000s when Interplay owned the IP, or Bethesda had it and was going to say that in the movie. I would rather have it left a mystery. Also, it will be hard for all the right wing fascist bigots try and say this show is "woke" and will go broke when it is "woke" but will not go broke like most things that are "woke", which is a word they don't understand and use to hide their racism and bigotry in general. They see anyone that's not white, it's woke! Fallout like Star Trek and many other franchises that laugh and take apart conservative and righ wing fascist ideology are woke and always have been before the word was made popular. It shows us the danger of capitalism and authoritarian rule from government that is owned by corporations and shows us that no matter your features or how you were born, we have more in common with each other than the morbidly wealthy capitalist who use us to hold them up above us by exploiting our labor and giving us crumbs while they thrive. Thank you.
@@rainbowsixODST There is nothing that indicates the NCR is gone. Only that it’s facing problems. In fact, the destruction of Shady Sands actually adds context to why the NCR was under-manned and under-supplied in New Vegas and why Brahmin Barons needed so much protection from raiders.
I liked how coops character matched the character he was playing as a movie star when the director tells him people wanna see the nice charismatic character break and show a darker side and i feel like that happened to coop being a nice guy and loving husband who was always charismatic around people and fans, to a heartless man in the wasteland
How are you able to use clips from the show and post a video without being copyright struck?
So turns out, instead of picking up topics of distrust with the government, extinction of resources and destructive nature of humanity, topics that were prominent in original Fallout games, they went with "corporations bad mkay" and added a bunch of very predictable twists and 101 characters. Not surprised.
If you use the broad definition of a "government", the TV show explores it well with Norm's character arc, as he frequently conflicts and questions his vault's authority, leading him to finding secrets beyond his depth. I didn't like how quickly they cleaned up the mess of Vault 32, but it's a minor cost for the bigger revelation in Vault 31.
Extinction of resources is explored practically throughout the whole story as its centered around Cold Fusion - and the one moment where Max had to give up the fusion core for his power armor to give it back to the people of Vault 4 was rather touching, as you could see his hesitation to give it up.
I thought the twists were pretty good and served to develop our discovery of The Ghoul's character well, and pretty much what made him into the person he is. I really liked the moment when he hears his wife speak about dropping the bombs, and you could figure out why he didn't want to do the thumbs up in the beginning of the show.
The main characters are well-written and have flaws, like the scene where The Ghoul questions Tommy whether or not he will take revenge, tells me a lot about his ruthless nature. And Lucy who throughout the show always wanted to be a do-gooder, eventually realized that it is not enough to survive in the wasteland, but its eventually revealed that not all her moments were in vain (like freeing the ghouls of Super Duper Mart, who she catches a glimpse of at the final episode). With that said, I still have reservations about Max, sometimes it just feels like either he isn't trying hard enough (like not carrying a machine gun instead of a pistol) or is pushed and pulled by dumb plot armor/conveniences (his inability to kill Thaddeus early on, getting his feet stuck in the fight against The Ghoul)
@@mistermorphescarnoe2898 To summarize your point to this guy, he really needs to watch the show to understand really how quite good it was in execution, right?
Lorewise, this does have a lot of loopholes but it was a treat. Don't judge a book by its cover just from how some RUclipsr talks about it's ending cause that's no fun.
@@jomteji4760 Yes, the loopholes are hard to dismiss but the overall experience is 👍
I dont think you fully appreciated it just rather looked for a reason to complain
@@ethangilbert4896I don't understand why so many people are trying so hard to defend an adaptation instead of discussing what they did wrong.
The good points that I heard from people defending the show are that the acting is good and that they like all the references to the games. From a stand alone story the actions of the characters don't make sense.
For example:
-When did ghouls need rad away to not become feral?
- Maldever is basically a cult leader/figure that kills innocent people for no reason.
-The writers tried to subvert expectations by flipping the script in the last episode
-Vault 31 has only cryopods and a brain in a jar, so who cleaned up Vault 32?
-Lucy's mother overreacting and bringing Lucy and her brother outside the Vault (I understand that Hank is from Vault 31 and that maybe his wife found out some kind of experiment they wanted to do, but I doubt Hank is willing to sacrifice his children)
-If Hank is the villain that he is I would expect that he would be intelligent enough to lie or at the very least not overreact when trying to convince Lucy that he is innocent also why did he give the password
-Lucy believing Maldever without question (whoever wrote this part must have been more antisocial than me because even I recognized that if someone kills a dozen of people I knew, the last thing I would do is believe them)
Finally I would say that if the creators of show would just say that there is no connection between the TV show and the games that's fine but if you claim a connection then I think that fans have the right to complain, because if we don't then we deserve TV shows like Halo.
So instead of building up lore they destroyed it in one season. Loved how they left out all the lore leading to the great war like the resource wars, just evil capitalism just wanting money.
There was literally no Fallout lore included in this show.
8:13 -- I feel badly for Maximus, as this is a classic case of, "Be careful what you wish for. . .for you just might get it."
I believe Coop's wife & daughter likely in the cryo pod of Vault 31 as the co worker Buds who became a brain in jar robot is the overseer of Vault 31.
Well, regardless some changes of the lore from the games (which the games also changed it from CRPG ones), I think this is definitely one of the best video game adaptation show. It certainly better than Halo & Witcher. It actually keep the spirit & vibe of Fallout, at the very least the modern ones from F3 & so on.
Indeed... War... War, never changes...
I didn’t know Vault-Tec corporation was dark like that tho
Really, what kind of twisted stuff they did in the series that overshadows everything they’ve done before in the video games?
Have you never played a Fallout game?
Did you even play any of the Fallout games.
How? Every fallout game makes it apparently clear vault tec is a terrible terrible company.

@@angelaizen2231 I don't really care and I'm not inclined to watch it any time soon, based off what I've seen so far
@FlymanMS I've just binge watched the entire series. As a die-hard fallout games fan, the series was damn near perfect in capturing the essence of the games. There are 1 or 2 plot points that I would definitely question, but overall, it's soooo much better than I expected. I thought it was gonna be another halo.
One point nobody has mentioned out of like 4 or 5 breakdowns is that when lucy watches the ghoul mercy kill the ghoul in the early season she disagrees so her giving her mom that same mercy helps drive home that shes changed also i think the duo between them is the best part of the show same type of characters going through the same story arc but 1 is 200 years ahead
