Nice to see you tackle Fallout. To give you some context on the show vs the games, here is a wall of text: The Fallout universe is brutal, and has usually a dark tone with very dark humour. Sometimes you have to laugh at the things happening, because the absolute madness is funny - other times it can almost make you cry. There is a very famous line from the games that always gets repeated: "War, War never changes", and it encapsulates the feeling you get when you are a part of this world. No matter how sh*t the world becomes, you can count on it that humans will find a way to kill eachother and make it worse. While at the same time, the story usually involves hope for the future, and it is up to the player to either make it, or break it. I think the show is a pretty good adoption of the Fallout universe in general. The Fallout games are very story-heavy and involve long stretches of dialoge with characters in the games. Usually, you go around doing quests for different characters/groups to advance the overall story of the given game. The environments you move through are filled with things that want to kill you, so it can be very dangerous depending on where you go at a given time. The games are filled with factions that want different things, and no matter who the player sides with, there is no perfect side. Everything is pretty much morally grey. In the games, the player will usually start out as someone born in a Vault. Your character usually knows very little of the outside world, and your Blue jumpsuit will attract attention amongst the surface dwellers. Mostly, the surface dwellers will see you as an easy mark -kill you or use you for their own purposes. So, when nobody wants anything to do with Lucy, it is rather true to the games. Vault dwellers are pretty useless to the non-evil people on the surface. Stim-Packs are these wonder-drugs characters take to heal themselves. They usually look like a big white syringe. Apparently, they hyper-stimulate the bodys healing functions, so they pretty much instantly heal broken bones and lacerations. Ghouls were originally humans, but were so heavily irradiated that they became something else. It is not really known how exactly some people turn onto Ghouls, while others just die. They generally look like "Ghoul" in this show. They can be pretty much like normal humans, or they can be irrational monsters (called feral ghouls) that attack anything in sight. Because of this, Ghouls that are "normal" are often ostracized by humans in the games, as Ghouls can turn feral with time. (Their brains rot or something). The Brotherhood of Steel is a common faction in the games, and were formed by military remnants, but evolved into something else as time went along. They are a militaristic organization whose main mission is to gather old-world technology and keep it safe. The Brotherhood believes that technology must be controlled by them, the responsible, as to not repeat the mistakes of the old world (ex. nuke the world). In the games, the Brotherhood are most certainly a good-ish faction, but they have facist tendencies and put the Brotherhood before outsiders. The Brotherhood also believe that only humans should exist in the world, and actively work to eradicate Ghouls, Super Mutants and other human-like monsters. As an organization they are very hierachical and live in a sort of role-play of being "knights" and other medieval titles. Raiders are also commonly found in the Fallout games. They are groups of murderous pshychos that kill people for fun. In the games, they are often shown to kill people indiscriminately and then hang them from lamp posts and the like. Usually heavy on the drugs.
That's a pretty comprehensive description of the world. The only thing I would add would be the Enclave, the group that Wilzig escaped. The Enclave is another common faction from the game, the remnants of the US government, who generally broadcast propaganda about the return of the "American Dream" as they strive to retake control of the Wasteland. They are even more extremist than the Brotherhood of Steel; they want to wipe out humans and mutants alike, anyone who is not aligned with them, and they aren't opposed to mass genocide against their perceived enemies.
Maximus getting beat up by multiple people is his normal situation, so going after the armor thieves was no big deal to him in a way. Thaddeus shows up with the large gear bag, a cheeky nod to the amount of stuff one can carry as a player.
Thing with the Brotherhood is that they were never meant to be heroes. They set their Doctrine from the start, and for that they operate highly successfully. Now, the immense power they wield (in the world as it is, probably they are far and most powerful faction), yes it can be used in "heroic ways", if such ways even exist.. Point is they had some of that power from the get go, while gained quite more by sticking to their Doctrine..
@@markcarpenter6020Don't know. They are more powerful than they ever were, while after 220yrs they created their own narratives, origin stories and religion, and that in order to provide sense of purpose and to expand. Nothing strange about that.
@@elvisibra in most earlier versions of the brotherhood Maximus would have washed out at initiate, and no knight would have acted like Titus. That's what I meant when I said their standards are considerably lower than they were. The version of the brotherhood in the TV show isn't much better than a raider gang like the Great Khans.
@@markcarpenter6020How do you know Max would and Titus wouldn't? Perhaps you only saw good parts = deceived by military propaganda 😅 you remind me exactly of Maximus the "hero" and "I didn't sign up for this" Titus.. As for BoS in the show, we haven't seen even 1%. This division here, and all through low grunt perspective. New thing overall seems to be recruiting larger numbers of "outsiders", and that is a good thing for Military: regulars in large enough numbers and equipped well to be actual combat force, so Elite units don't have to do all and always..
@elvisibra I know because I've played the other games. I don't actually like the brotherhood. The only version of the brotherhood I have actually liked was the Lyons brotherhood in fallout 3, BUT they have always been well trained and disciplined. Initiates had to have a minimum level of ability (well above what Maximus had) to make square and knights were held to a close of conduct that Titus completely ignored. As I said this brotherhood acts more like the great Kahns than the brotherhood of steel.
You should play fallout 4 it will take you awhile and the game is a little dated (2015) but the story’s pretty good and I’d think you’d enjoy it, maybe even in the future there could be a “Abby Jane plays” channel lol who knows 🤷🏼♀️
I hope you're watching the credit sequences; they add to the story, or enhance them (this episode, the billboard that's a sort of split screen of Cooper Howard and Vault Boy explains a lot about his attitude). They also become more relevant as time goes on.
The inhaler the ghoul is using is not really shown in the game. I suspect it is to keep the ghoul from turning feral (like a zombie). Max is enjoying this. Yes, because Thaddeus was one of Max's main bullies. The broken water chip is a call back to the first Fallout game, in the game you leave your vault to search for a replacement. The ghouls water is highly irradiated and probably not that good for Lucy. Umm, in case it slipped by the two executives deferred to Barb when Cooper asked if the suit stopped radiation. (she works for vault-tec) Lucys brother is Norm and his story becomes one of my favorites.
Yay she’s back! I hate that you have a real job to deal with lol also I was thinking although this comment is a little off topic I thought I might go ahead and suggest it, regarding the clone wars honestly I think you should just react to “critical” arcs, so you could actually power through it and actually only see the best of the series, because it’s going to be the fattest minute before you get to the good stuff, if that idea interests you I’m almost positive there’s a list of “must watch” arcs the fans made and there all save for like 2 absolute bangers, anyways that’s all from me, goodbye!! 💙

This makes me want to play the games 😄

The Wasteland golden rule is a direct reference to constantly getting hit with side quests
Side quests make Fallout. 🤣

And to be fair by the point of this show the brotherhood has devolved quite a bit in its standards.

Regarding the gulper / creature in the water, it looks like a giant mutated axolotl. Except.... not so cutesy anymore now that it's grown up. 😅😅

lol im not that much of a gamer so people would be stressed out watching me play 😅

I have not, will check them out!

One of the best cupcakes I ever had was a lavender cupcake. I also like lavender tea, so maybe it's just a me thing.
Abby jane full of sunchine and she still on the grind to avoid the pain and rain ❤

13:53 mutated or mutant

Such plastic reactions.
