Fallout is alternate universe, in Fallout universe America adopted nuclear based technology Atompunk style. So technology progress a lot but still retained 50s-60s aesthetic. Also Lucy use Stimpak to heal her stab wound, Stimpak is stimulants that boost body's regenerative function. It can make wound heal almost instantaneously and can heal anything short of dead.
"still retained 50s-60s aesthetic"
Sort of. It is retrofuturist, which means that if you look at pictures of the future that were created in the 50s, that is what it looks like. They have robots, weird cars, monorails and so on.
Also re stimpack, there's nothing in the lore that says they do that; that's a game mechanic like eating cheese wheels in skyrim.
You routinely deal with corpses from people who tried saving their lives with a stimpack.
If they worked like in the show, you would not need an auto-doc. Also Curie specifically mentioned she improves the stimpack to close wounds. The show has a vault with no contact with the outside world, therefore they don't have the improved stimpack.
The Lone Wanderer: "Here, take some Stimpaks. That should get him through."
Madison Li: "Yes, this looks to be enough. He'll need medical attention once we've reached the Citadel, but this will get him there. Thank you. Give me a moment, and we can continue."
(Madison Li's dialogue)
The Sole Survivor: "You're excited. What is it?"
Curie: "I am elated. Giddy. I begged to become a synth for a reason. For science. To be able to make real progress in studying the medical arts. I have had a breakthrough. Using a new strain of mutfruit, I have discovered a way to greatly improve the restorative properties of stimpaks. I realize this is not earthshaking, but it means that inspiration does exist."
The Sole Survivor: "How did you discover that?"
Curie: "Mutfruit has a particular sugar compound that stimulates platelet production and can close wounds. Unfortunately, the plant, when grown in the wild, is irradiated and develops natural toxins to ward off pests. Strain 17 has been genetically bred in sterile conditions to remove both problems. The new, pure sugar is already offering promise."
(Curie's dialogue)
It's a 90s take on 1950s futurista
@@BrettCaton TY... Plebs don't understand game mechanics vs lore and its killing these shows.
@@BrettCatonthat's actually an oversimplification.
the dog doesn't die, he gets healed and he shows up every episode
Yes, dog is a main character :) Good dog!
Dueg meat
@@BainofGravityFalls Doug McEet
No, Dog death is referring to episode 2 in the Enclave facility. Where a newly born puppy, probably cx-404's littermate, doesn't meet the minimal weight required and gets tossed into an oven .
@@ItsJustTeddington Oh, yeah. I totally forgot about that scene. I must have erased it from my brain. 😅
She took a stimpack for the stab wound. Stimpacks in the Fallout universe are like a miracle cure for almost any injury (barring total dismemberment, limb destruction, or death).
Stimpacks are methamphetamine. If you get injured and use a stimpack you will be able to move around like normal but your injury will still persist.
@@almalone3282you are just wrong, game wise it is a complete cure
@@supergaspack Only in a game mechanic sense. In universe its a pain killer not a magic healing device
i think stimpacks either contain stem cells or stimulate stem cells to repair damage... hence the title "stim" pack. but that is just a guess.
@@aurorauplinks The og fallout had real drug names originally but instead of censoring just for Australia they just changed the names across the board.
The Fallout series is like watching someone play a fallout game...
Love that feeling
What did you expect?
@@cruzmartinez2297 I expected what Hollywood does to all the other stuff that they put out there. In the series I wasn't disappointed but in my expectations I was and that is a good thing. I had high hopes though.
When Lucy grabbed a knife and gun, I thought: Level up, girl.
high praise
The Ghoul is a ghoul. Ghouls are people who who have been mutated by radiation. They are immune to radiation and are somewhat immortal but eventually every ghoul deteriorates mentally and goes feral. They basically become zombies they just attack and kill everything them moves that isn’t a another ghoul
Ferals also don’t attack super mutants and some super mutants see them as a sort of pet
@@donovanchau3483
I think you’re referring to centaurs similar to ghouls in appearance [somewhat] but are not ghouls. They are chimeras of what ever west tec decided to into FEV tanks.
@@danielcarrera886 Feral ghouls don't attack other ghouls for the most part though.
@@Altrantis
Ya I know
I even put that in my comment
@@danielcarrera886 centaurs are not similar to ghouls at all
Thought I wouldn't like Lucy. Ended up loving Lucy.
Thought I would like Maximus. Ended up not liking Maximus.
Knew I would love the Ghoul. Absolutely loved the Ghoul.
Worship the ghoul that is Walton Goggins! Worship him! 😁
Same here
I still kinda liked maximus and rooted for him, but it’s clear there’s still a lot more development needed for him considering he’s essentially been raised in an extremely militaristic society with some cultish elements
@@joshuacr ok heretic
Same, Maximus annoyed me so much towards the end. Vice versa, I like Lucy in the end and I couldn't stand her in the beginning
Alteori breaking my heart for saying "bad costume robots"
Season 2, they’re probably moving to the upmarket robots in the Enclave
That killed me
When Lucy was stabbed she used what's called a 'stimpak' which, in the fallout game, is an instant medical repair. The show was being true to the game.
Ohhhhhh
@@Alteori no... watch the reviews on the show of Creetosis. The show is garbage.
The setting at the beginning with the hard to identify skyline is Los Angeles in the year 2077. The universe is absolutely an alternate universe that branches off from our reality, mainly in the 1940s-60s. Quite a bit of tech that was first developed in the 1900s for us actually came about way later in the Fallout universe (think 2050s)
A critical difference, if I remember correctly, is that the Fallout Universe simply never invented the transistor (hence the lack of computers/digital tech), but they did embrace nuclear energy.
Stimpak is a miracle healing item in Fallout 4, basically a healing potion in Fallout game. It heals limbs too but not amputated limbs that are heavily mangled.
Quick side note, the Brotherhood full name Brotherhood of Steel are a very important faction and part of fallout, them being militaristic individuals who want to preserve pre war technology and destroy any mutated creatures after the bombs dropped. Also women are a thing in the brotherhood, as seen in pretty much all the games. Lastly squire and knights are ranks in the brotherhood, with squire meaning you tag along missions with higher ups, aka knights which allow members in the brotherhood to own a power armor suit which is why they focus on it a lot in diff shots. Also ghouls are pretty much immortal and can never die to age. Pretty funny to compare them to Deadpool tho lol
Ah interesting.
My friends called the squires, mules
@@Alteori Yeah, problem is they butchered the Ghouls by making them wolverine regeneration monsters who need a serum to not go feral(in Fallout they are basically not very accepted because at any point their brain could deactivate completely till only the aggression center is active)... normally they regenerate slowly if they are close to radiation sources, but it has the sideffect of speeding up the transformation into a feral.
Also there are big continuity errors along the entire damn series, like the position of Shady Sands and the complete absence of the Boneyard and all the other settlements of the faction called NCR. The faction the showrunners nuked cause "they were proliferating too much and we wanted a reset".
The series is fun, the actors are good (not maximus), but people who care about the source material are critical of it for retconning stuff left and right and character assassinating House and Sinclair straight up(Mr. House was calculating for the drop of the bombs since 2066/65, he was not cooperating with Vault-Tec and was so nervous he wasn't able to keep eye contact... let alone get in a board meeting and mock other people. Vault-Tec is also retconned in this series to say "capitalism bad" despite their plan not making sense... why'd you nuke your investors and lose all the money you already have? there's literally no long term goal and no goal at all. In the originals, the Enclave(totalitarian untopia seekers) used Vault-Tec to develop space travel technology, with the Vaults being a way to see how humans would react to being in an enclosed space for a long period of time (cause humans would need to be into spaceships) and they failed cause the bombs dropped.
@@marcussawyer4751 it retconned nothing.
The ghouls vary based on area and cause of change.
Like some ghouls absolutely needing food and water, others dont, others never go feral, others like Dean Domino are uncertain if he needs to.
Its always been ambiguous. I will gladly dissect and prove your blatant false statement wrong in a bit
@@BrandonDenny-we1rwYou do know that Fallout 4 has both ‘types’ of ghouls in the same game in the same area.
Don't die on that hill.
The reason the dad drowned him in the barrel is because it was a pickle barrel, meaning salt water, on open wounds. It was the fastest way to kill him with the most pain.
I wish I could ping Alteori, I know she'll never get this comment but I love her content.
Southern actor = Walton Goggins. Very underrated actor. I would like to see him get more lead roles.
When Lucy got the knife wound she took a Stimpack, theres some lore to it but ingame its the health potion that makes bullet wounds go away. As for what you've heard about a dog dying, the dog doesn't actually die! It does get close tho and the guy who does it feels bad and helps the dog out.
And they got the 'Pompeii body' thing so completely wrong. Those 'Pompeii bodies' were supposed to make people think of the real Pompeii bodies....but the real ones are actually plaster. When Pompeii was originally found and was being excavated, they noticed these cavities that occasionally had bones in them...they realised that they were cavities left behind by people who had died and were buried under the vocanic ash, then their bodied decomposed and left behind a 'negative. So they filled the spaces with Plaster of Paris to bring to life the last moments of the inhabitants of Pompeii. There are some really sad and eerie scenes. Its a real tableu of the true last moments of a thriving little town that really faced a real apocalypse.
Why does the cuts of the fox watching the clips crack me up so much?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
the world of fallout is set in an alternate what if universe where nuclear power became common place, untill the bombs dropped, walter goggins is amazing as the ghoul, the stab wound was fixed by a stim pack. its like a rapid healing injector from fallout. The broothhood of steel actually recruit women too lol the robots are actual power armour that has a person in it, lucy makes some breath takingly bad mistakes which is great....dont worry the dogs fine :P
Actually cold fusion, but yes.
@@joshuacr It was just regular fusion but scaled down for more common applications
the Brotherhood started as all men but then they needed more people
The dog is badly hurt by the Ghoul, but at the end of the episode, he resuscitated him and they go off together. Like you I hate it when cats or dogs are killed.
Yeah I skipped through it to see the bad parts without sound and saw he resuscitates the pup
Just occured to me:
Videogame adaptions, if done right, may very well be the cure for the whole “Mary sue” thing going on.
Look at SKyrim. At the start of the game, you’re broke, you’re weak, you’re helpless, your hands are tied together, you’ve got nothing on you but rags. By the end of the game, you’re rich, you’re wearing daedric armour, you know every spell, you have the best weapons, you’re a ninja-level thief/assasin, you know more spells than most wizards, you own houses all over the country, you have several servants, you’re the massiah of several cults etc. And between those two points, you have to earn all that.
Lucy isn’t just instantly amazing right from the start, she has to earn her badassness over an entire season.
If you watched Arcane, Ella Purnell, who played Lucy, is the person who voiced Powder (Jinx) in Arcane.
Cool
Neat
Don't forget Yellowjackets!
I knew her voice sounded familiar!
This whole video was just making me go, "Aww, at least you're trying" while you commentate 😂
Fallout is an alternate universe of ours, micro-chip never took off and America go full ham on Atomic tech and Vacuum tube (which is why computer and TV are still gigantic) but they manage to develop robots and power armor. In this universe America enter a resource war with China (kinda scary consider the current geo-politic state of the world) and it end in Nuclear exchange between the 2 super power.
"Brotherhood of Steel"... is just a cool sounding name. They've always had female members.
Plus this depiction is only the brotherhood in name only
The first time my character in Fallout 3 got stuck with the Brotherhood of Steel, it was with a group called the Brotherhood Outcasts, and they made her play a video game simulation of a Chinese invasion of Alaska so they can steal the stuff from the vault it was on. Then half of the Brotherhood in the bunker tried to kill the other half over the spoils. But hey, our half won, so my gal got away with some neat power armor. Then she became the Brotherhood Outcasts' top patsy because she recovers tech from around the wasteland and they pay her with drugs for it.
The actor is Michael Cristofer. I recognize him from Mr Robot and Rubicon, but he has 31 movies/shows in his credits.
Thank you. I really remember him most from Mr. Robot, but he is one of those character actors that shows up everywhere!
That music will always be so chilling also the city is LA. [Atleast we assume] it's a different universe set in 2077
13:19 So the metal syringe Lucy gets from the first aid and injects herself with after getting stabbed is an item from the game, it’s called a stimpack. In the games it’s an experimental drug that heals a portion of your health and somehow fixes all your broken bones, internal and external bleeding, and pretty much anything except radiation and poison. So the show is literally using video game logic. Which, yeah doesn’t make sense in reality, but for us who played the games it was fun seeing someone get mortally wounded, use a stimpack, and then just walk it off. Cuz that’s what you’d do in the games
What they said, a stimpack is a magical/science fiction cure all, and it's best to keep thinking of it that way.
seeing fix the dog im like what? XDD i think it explains the vault where people live everyday breathing in drugs lived up to 200 years if they survived.
It cures everything except a stab wound😂
It doesn't actually work that way in the series lore. Yes, it works that way in terms of game mechanics, but in-universe it just stimulates a persona's normal healing abilities and is generally intended for mild wounds. Hence why there have been more advanced variants developed (with Cure even specifically developing ones that improves its ability to close wounds), and why there are numerous instances in the games where just throwing stimpaks at something isn't enough to actually heal it (requiring medical expertise and equipment to heal broken limbs with skill checks, only being able to temporarily stabilize Garza's heart condition, Doc Mitchell still needing to stitch the player up after operating, etc, etc). Because while effective at mitigating injuries, they're still very much limited.
Until the show decided to retcon it because "Hey, don't you get this reference? Look at all these references we're making!" shenanigans, they were no more an actual magical heal-all products in-universe than doctor's bags or healing poultices. It would be like having a character in the show reload after only firing half a magazine, only for the bullets to magically reappear on their person because that's how it works in the gameplay of the franchise.
@@VenathTehN3RD And if you detach your head, you still are dead 😁
Gelatin is generally made from various parts of livestock
So to answer the question on the timeline its an alternate universe that split from our timeline shortly after WW2 🥰
Also with the stab wound and that thing she injected its called a stimpack and its basically an insta-heal...or makes it so you heal MUCH quicker 😅
Highly recommend a brief little fallout lore video. The show is obviously aimed at fans of the games so some lore left out of the show is just common knowledge from the games.
Watching a lore video will only leave you with more questions than answers with this show, since so much of it is either wrong or completely retconned…
Hey Alteori.
I would suggest watching shoddycast's lore videos to help you get ingrained with the story of fallout.
It shouldn't ruin the show for you, but it should give you a decent rundown on the backdrop of the fallout series.
I don't think you'd have to watch all of their episodes, but find the ones that would pique your interest, and i feel it would help.
Thanks for the video, and at least it sounds like the show will ACTUALLY be a good adaptation.
Alteori: Im gonna have a hard time watching after figuring out the dog dies
Me: Just watch the fucking episode XD
I mentioned on your community tab that I have done a few fan art pics, posted on my Community timeline.
RUclips has no messaging system so, just trying to let ya know.
Also I love how you are honest with your limited knowledge about the Fallout series, I wish i could see it with fresh eyes myself.
I have played most of the games so the series is kind of hit and miss with me.
Oooo what's ur DA?
@@Alteori I meant here on my RUclips Profile page, under the community tab.
I don't post on other places anymore sorry, kind of became a hermit in my old age.
It’s basically an alternate universe. The world of Fallout (before the bombs) is basically the future people in the 50’s imagined the Future would look like. Which is why it’s simultaneously futuristic and old fashioned.
She didn't care about her stab wound because she used a stimpack, the most advanded healing chem ever created. Provided by the friendly folk from
Med-Tek.
I like how they simlpy go for it no explanation needed, 'cause the people in this world know how it works. no stupid exposition for the audience
From my understanding the Fallout universe never discovered microchips or microprocessors.
Also so glad you decided to cover this incredible show.
They discovered them later - and did better than them.
c.f. FNV platinum chip, Courser chip FO4
Well, I may be wrong on this, it's not that they didn't discover those things but that they discovered that technology later on than we did in our own timeline. And because of that it was a newer technology that was both not that widely available and not hardened to a nukes EMP. So, when the bombs fell all that tech was fired and what's left over after 200 years is 1950 retrofuture stuff.
One of the in-universe reasons for why the games use older music is because the newer music wasn't recorded on the more durable holotapes and such.
Cool thing about Fallout, it follows "Retro Futurism". Retro Futurism is a time period set way in the future, based on how a specific culture in the past thought it would look like. Fallout is the future as 1950' North America imagined it.
Well, as 1990's US thought 1950's North America imagined it.
And Fallout 3 is just the 1950's, but IN 2200's.
The Trailer looked iffy but I fell in love with this show and loved every element of it. Lucy is so much fun. Give Maximus and Cooper (Ghoul) a chance. I love the story evolving in the vault. One of my favourite aspects is bouncing back in time to before the bombs fell. It Brings Cooper to life as a character, no pun intended.
Cooper Howard literally redefines Fallout Boy 😁
That little girl is not only super cute, she's really good at conveying emotion. If she chooses to stay in acting I can see her having a strong career.
That southern guy is a really good actor. & omfg the kid is soooo adorable. Plus the series u is getting better. Im on episode 4 now & loving it. Also if you decide to get into the fallout games they are pretty good as well. In fallout 3 your father voices as Liam neeson.
you know @Alteori is going to freak when they get to the no dogs in the shelter part. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome as usual. As a Fallout person let me answer two questions you had. 1) Fallout like most SyFy games is a world without racism. 2) Lucy heals up so fast because Stimpacks like the one she took are basically magic.
I'll leave a short lecture about Fallout universe, but stick to things relevant to the episode. (I'm not a hardcore fan so some things may be off.)
1. Setting????
Fallout universe is set in an alternative retro-futuristic version of our world that branches off from our timeline (mainly) in 1945. The technology progresses quite fast but so does the usage of oil so the world is in crisis. USSR falls off and is replaced by China as the main bad guy in the cold war and at some point invades Alaska to take over local oil fields. They loose and the US takes the fight to mainland China. In response in 2077 everyone starts throwing nukes at each other and we get the current United States.
2. Hole in Lucy's stomach and the injector
That was a Stimpack. One of Fallout's main healing items which contains a mix of things which names only someone with a PhD at medicine can read without biting off their tongue. Basically it boosts human body's healing process (which is an understatement) wile also having some pain numbing effects.
3. Robots
There are robots in this universe but those dudes are wearing power armor which is basically a human sized tank.
4. Do you play as multiple characters in fallout?
No. You have one character that you create yourself and you always start as someone new to the world (Except for Fallout New Vegas. The MC there just has a partial amnesia due to being shot in the head).
5. Women in the Brotherhood?
Originally the Brotherhood consisted of soldiers that went AWOL after discovering some nasty stuff regarding their government. But since getting a boy as a kid is only decided by RNG gods they had to start recruiting people form outside their group, including women. The name most likely stayed out of tradition.
6. Ghoul
It wasn't. His organs were though. For some reason. Ghouls are basically people that through a mix of good genes and radiation had mutated into something similar to zombies. But they are 100% sentient and relatively normal. The downside of this is that ghouls loose their skin as a result of radiation and they have a chance to turn feral. Majority of the ghouls in Fallout are 200+ years old.
A question from me: Why is everyone mean to Max....? ; _ ;
Those “stone” people were actually people who turned into hardened ashes from the nuke. This actually happens when volcanos explode. The ashes of the volcano come down, killing the majority of the people before the actual lava comes.
Not only is Walton Goggins one of my all-time favourite antagonist character actors....he's one of my all time fav actors. Also, apparently he's a genuine nice guy.
And I also was super stoked to see Kyle MacLachlan who is also one of my all time fav actors. Been a fan since I Twin Peaks in the early 90s when i was a young teen.
Maximus is actually pretty ripped if you look at him, look at those shoulders. Hes probably just a smaller dude so its harder to tell but hes definitely been pumping iron.
I really wanted you to do this review. I had given up hope (I figured you saw the dog downed in the trailers and intsa-band it from your home). But you did it. Yessssssssssssssss! I loved your review, it was everything I hoped it would be. I was only able to see the first episode because I do not have Prime Video but luckily the first episode was on Freevee. Part of me hopes that the rest might get released just before season 2 launches but I know it is just wishful thinking.
One detail, The Ghoul's nose was not cut off, ghouls do not have noses. Also if you noticed some of the commenters describing ghouls as being zombie like but shows ghouls do not look like that. That's because their design was changed as the game series progressed. They originally looked like zombies and were described as rotting. In Fallout 4 they were redesigned to have more burned like appearance which is what the show's ghoul design is based off. The characteristics of the ghouls also changed as the game series progressed. In the 1st game a group of ghouls were worried about losing their water source. By Fallout 4 ghouls did not need to drink or eat. They were no longer just immune to radiation they were healed by it. Not needing to breath was established in Fallout 2. I like how the show's first episode confirmed the fan theory that balanced the discrepancies about ghouls biological needs. That radiation alone can tale care of all of a ghoul's biological needs. It was sometimes a highly heated debate amongst some Fallout fans.
Lastly, if you ever decide to play Fallout 4 you will need a couple of mods to help you enjoy the game. One of them replaces hostile dogs with something else, I don't remember what. The other lets you change your character into a humanoid fox.
Play Fallouts 1, 2, and New Vegas. They are old, but they are also genuine gold.
I just looked it up cos I thought Lucy looked familiar. She's the voice actress for Jinx in the tv show Arcane! 🤩
And the cowboy guy we see in the intro that we recognized but couldn't pin point his name, just looked it up to check, his name is Walton Goggins 😉
I look forward to your further impressions of the series.
God dammit... that "bonk" at 16:05 had me dying. 🤣🤣🤣
Very fair and interesting take from someone who is not familiar with the games. looking forward to seeing a full season review. 😊
Hmm didnt expect to catch the video so early love the content
Quick explanation bout the begining (cause I'm a Fallout nerd and I gotta explain this sorta thing, lol). the Fallout franchise takes place in a split timeline that broke off from our own around the cold war era. TLDR; technology advanced, but the 50's culture and fear of communisim stayed the same. The only thing that seemed to have died out like in our own timeline is the hardcore racism of that era.
2nd explanation: (I can't stop, help). The Brotherhood of Steel are...best way I can describe them is a military cult. They were founded by a group of us soldiers who survived the war, and for the past 200+ years they've made it there mission to preserve as much pre-war technology as possible, and to help the wasteland recover from the bombs. As for the "robot dudes" that's power armor, it's kinda like a mini mech suit. And for the BoS, becoming a Knight and getting your own suit is indeed a huge deal.
and FINALLY; the Ghoul. I won't go into any spoiler territory, just what's explained in the games. Basically "ghoul" isn't just what he specifically is called, it's his whole species, of sorts. Ghouls in the Fallout series are people who were exposed to radiation and went through a specific mutation, their skin get's all mangled as seen in the show, and for some, their limbs and body parts can start falling off due to necrosis (they also become sterile, duh). However on the upside, radiation no longer hurts them, they don't age, and they can survive for an extremely long time with very little food or water.
Was it hardcore? It was the beginning of the civil rights movement and only gained steamed going forward. That would not happen if "hardcore racism" was the norm among the largest population group. It would have been squashed. There was resistance for sure, there always is. But there was also support and our country changed. Some for the better and some not so much (I hope Lyndon Johnson is enjoying his pineapple enemas in hell).
Honestly, that sounds like a very great timeline to live in if you remove the nuclear bombing of course.
@@MinhNguyen-pk9qk lol no kidding. Hell even AFTER the bombs, life would probably be at least decent if you lived within one of the several governments that have sprouted up since then, like the New California Republic, the Brotherhood over on the east coast, or the Legion down south...(actually nevermind, maybe not the Legion. lol)
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodsc1447 I'm going for the NCR. At least they tried to rebuild society like it once was before the bombs
@@MinhNguyen-pk9qk personally my favorite faction is a tie between the NCR, BoS, and Enclave. Mianly cause they're the only groups in the wasteland with potentially the resources and willpower to effectively, permenantly, rebuild.
13:00 I actually really like that they set up that Lucy has had- training in fighting, fencing, and guns- She knows the basics, but she's never had to use them in a life or death scenario. So when it comes time to finally protect herself, she isn't fully capable of defending herself, but again, it was set up that she CAN protect herself!
That's the actual intelligent writing that made me fall in love with Fallout. Even if Episodes 2 and 3 drag a bit (can't say much on ep 4 because I have yet to watch it.)
Edit: Also Stem-packs, the injection thingies aren't a instant wound healer like in the video games. They're more like an antiseptec, an Antifibrinolytic, and a numbing agent all in one. So in Ep 2 she still has to staple the wound treath, and staple the wound closed before wrapping it up.
Your tangents were on fire for this one! Thanks for stating your piece.
6:38 someone correct me if i'm wrong, but House said that he's defense systems detected like 77 bombs just in Vegas.
The Brotherhood of Steel was founded by some remnants of the army and even had women as some of the original members as told to us in tapes in Fallout 76. There’s also female BoS members in Fallout 4, Scribe Haylen and Proctor Ingram. Unironically I’m pretty sure the guy who founded it just thought it sounded cool cause he started introducing ranks like knights and what not pretty early on.
The whole stab wound minor inconvenience thing is cause she used the stimpak from the first aid pack, the big shot that she used, in the universe its like antibiotics, liquid bandaid, aloe vera, whiskey, and cocaine... on crack, so it doesn't immediately "heal" the problem, but it god damn well near fixes the situation. She is probably still bleeding a bit, but it probably mostly closed up the wound and slowed her blood in that area or something, we don't exactly know how it works, but it can heal broken limbs to an extent too so.
Fallout is an alternate timeline.
As a fan of the games I enjoyed the show. I was highly skeptical since Amazon sucks at adaptations (Rings of Poop, Wheel of Boredom). But they did a good job with this one.
Lucy used a stimpak to heal herself. It’s an iconic heal item from the game.
The Brotherhood of Steel is a major faction in the game. The Enclave comes up in the show also.
Keep watching. Dogmeat gets a stimpack. Dogmeat is a primary character in the game so they are not going to kill him (I think it’s a girl dog in the show) off.
Alteori, I just want to say I love your energy. Your videos always make me smile.
thank you so much for watching this show. your reaction is the sweetest
The first scene actually takes place in the future, which 2078 or so. In the Fallout Universe, technology progressed but the fashion stayed the same as in the 60s.
Brotherhood of steel is is weird compared to what it probably should be but I gotta say, they got the theme pretty on point and had a good amount of fan nods which I appreciate when they take on games with loyal fans.
They did not get the theme right at all. The BoS are not patriotic at all. They're isolationist technophiles that want to keep advanced tech out of the hands of the commoners, because they'll just cause more problems with it. They even have a flag flying at the base, which would NEVER happen.
BoS is all wrong. They couldn't even get the RANKS right, let alone the general behavior of the BoS faction.
Alteori for a first time viewer of this show. I must warn you "Don't let your view on politics decide on this show." I can't really say it without spoiling the show or the games. All I can say this show is intricate and simple at the same time.
Radiation is kinda magic that still is radiation.
I freaking loved this series. They left all the preachy shit out and just made a good story that felt like the Fallout world
Yo Alteori. The dog doesn't actually die. Dogmeat gets stabbed but he gets a stimpack and he's all good. :)
@ 1:00 The "Southern Guy" is played by Walton Goggins. He's great for like the morally questionable kind of character where you aren't entirely sure about their motivations. He is also great at just playing straight up villains
Thank you so much for waiting a few days before talking about this show and potentially spoiling it. I get spoiled so often because of thumbnails lately. Im watching fallout 20 minutes a day on a treadmill and its so hard to avoid spoilers when youtubers put the climax moments into the thumbnail. Thank you thank you thank you.
Never played or watched, but love your videos, so I eagerly await your opinion.
Edit: that sounds like a great introduction to a series! But I am a little wary still.
Me and you agree about the lady on the council, I think she looks angry and that makes the vault hysterical
LOVE your avatar looking back to "watch" the screen with the rest of us... LOL... classic! FYI, it is an alternative history mirroring cold war America circa 1950's if pushed on thru the 2000's.
Also, in the games you ONLY play a the vault dweller. Its a single player fps rpg (yes, Fallout 76 is online). The "Brotherhood" and the "Enclave" and the Ghouls and the scorched, and raiders, etc... are residents or factions on the surface.
ALteori I am curious have you watched Primeval (TV series) and if so I would love to see a review of it on your channel.
The little brother is Rico from Hannah Montana, in case you're wondering!
Walton Goggins, dude is awesome in everything he is in.
@Alteori.
Someone was trying to get you to not watch this show.
Who told you that! No DOG does not die in this show?! It's Basically Dogmeat. They basically gave Dog a origin story for Dogmeat is in every FO. Dogmeat is a Main Character in this game and TV show and he doesn't die.
Lucy used a stimpak for the wound. It pretty much is a fix all kind of thing. You cut a chunk of your foot off. No problem just use a stimpak. The only thing you need outside of stimpaks is rad away. I loved the fact they used each item as shown in game and it pretty much has that same effect.
“If this is set in our universe”
Oh man. You are in for something else. I love all three main characters. They’re all very complex… Maximus might be the most complex of them all and his actor is incredible with expressing a lot with subtlety.
Feather fox laughter is glorious.
Fallout is what the world would look like if they went with the cathode ray tube, never invented the microprocessor, and used nuclear fission to power everything, from cars to televisions.
Absolutely loved the show, i havent actually played any of the games but interested about the lore but it really enjoyed it, probably my 2nd favourite game adaptation, episode 1 was pretty good but the rest was awesome
i have, and im pist.

If you are completely new here to Fallout and want to enter the games they have a great very rich lore but here is something to clear up a very big and common confusions that plagues the franchise as a wholes especially for a newcomer. By extension all the other weird quirks and contradictions in this franchise. When you get a fictional world as old as Fallout with different writers coming in and out of it, and especially when it crosses mediums, things get messy of course. This has been a huge mess since every thing after Fallout 2, retcons, inconsistency are to be expected, a lot. LIKE A LOT.
There was a post-apocalyptic game about desert rangers called Wasteland back in 1988 inspired by things like Dune and Mad Max (this is where the dog came from) for the Apple II and DOS computers. The publisher EA dropped the already in development sequel abruptly. The studio team creating the game decided to make a spiritual successor to the game with another publisher.
The first Fallout was created back in 1997 by the former Wasteland devs in a studio called Black Isle under the ownership of a new publisher Interplay Entertainment. After its success they made a Fallout 2, but Interplay Entertainment was mess of a publisher who frequently got into many lawsuits started to bleed money from bad financial decisions a real life corporate comedy/horror story. Interplay Entertainment made two other fallout games later without the Black Isle team that were received poorly while Black Isle were in development of their own Fallout 3. In a desperate attempt to save the company's finances without the knowledge of Black Isle, Interplay Entertainment sold the rights of Fallout to Bethesda Entertainment in 2003. Their Black Isle Fallout 3 was canceled and laid off the team at Black Isle, their Fallout 3 was retroactively renamed Fallout Van Buren later on. Bethesda Entertainment went straight into development of a whole new Fallout 3. The former members of Black Isle regrouped as a whole new studio Obsidian Entertainment. After Bethesda's Fallout 3 (2008) became game of the year, people wanted a Fallout 4 but Bethesda were developing the Elder Scrolls V so they contracted Obsidian Entertainment to make a spin off title under a short time of 2 years to make a whole installment which became Fallout New Vegas (2010). Everything after that is Bethesda Entertainment's work, Fallout 4, Fallout Shelter, Fallout 76, and this show partnered with Amazon and MGM.
Most of the fallout community goes with this separation, this is also the core of biggest divide in the fallout community and story.
West Coast Fallout. Made by the original of Fallout team of Black Isle Studios then later Obsidian Entertainment.
-Fallout 1 (1997) Took place in Southern California
-Fallout 2 (1998) Took place in Northern California
-Fallout New Vegas (2010) took place in the Las Vegas area
East Coast Fallout. Made by Bethesda Entertainment.
-Fallout 3 (2008) The DC Area (The one most where most people got introduced to fallout)
-Fallout 4 (2015) The Boston Area
-Fallout Shelter (2015) In its own world.
-Fallout 76 (2018) The West Virginia Area.
The Interplay Entertainment spin offs were declared not cannon anymore because they were awful, nobody cares about these anymore.
-Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (2001) Most people call it just Fallout Tactics to not confuse with the next one. Not actually that bad though.
-Fallout Brotherhood of Steel (2004) Only ever released on the PS2 (for a PC exclusive franchise for some reason) hands down the worst thing in the fallout franchise by far. Don't play this game unless you want make a review video. Technically the first multiplayer Fallout with split screen but don't torture your friends to play this dumpster. Half the game design was stolen and they got a lawsuit for it which was one of the reasons how Bethesda Entertainment got the Fallout IP in the first place. Interplay later also tried to sell Bethesda's Fallout 3 as their own which led to a whole other lawsuit.
These two Fallouts are completely different in narrative and portrayal of the fallout world.
For example East Coast Bethesda's Fallout heavily focus on the Brotherhood of Steel being the good guys and Vault Tec. Mutants in Bethesda fallout are mostly unintelligent, when they portray the Pre War World its mostly a retro future happy America. The wasteland was more of your typical post apocalypse and factions in the wasteland never developed people are still mostly scavengers, raiders, and small scale groups living using prewar leftovers. They never really ever rebuilt society ever for whatever reason after 300 years. Nuka Cola big deal. More focus on Good vs Evil with a very fun action like tone. (This is mostly the image of most people when they think "Fallout")
The Black Isle and Obsidian West Coast Fallouts focused more on New California Republic as it grew out of an anarchic wasteland to an organized macronation controlling most of former California, a lot of Mutants are actually more intelligent than their former human counterparts. The Brotherhood of steel was just a well equipped and educated cult, Vault Tec was nothing more than just a puppet corporation for the US Government (outside the vaults you never heard much about them at all) Pre War world was a lot more a horror story of geopolitics, overpopulation, national alliances breaking down, wars being started all over the depleting resources, the US government basically became a dictatorship invading Canada. The wasteland most more sorted by small and larger communities connected by trade routes fighting over thing like water and sources of energy to control a region, more focused on the new societies being developed and fighting over each other as they all grew. Raiders and gangs were more factionalized and mutated wildlife would be more territorial. They did not rely as much pre war stuff as wastelanders mostly farmers just trying to have food. Nuka Cola is not much of a big deal. A lot more blurry line of good and evil with a more depressing bleak tone.
To clarify most of what you probably know of Fallout is Bethesda's East Coast Fallout most people never played the first two Fallouts because they are old 2D isometric turn based role playing games that more for the "deep nerd" crowd back in the 1990s when you practically had to be an expert just to use a computer and its very much for people that already played a ton other isometric games. The older fallouts is heavily told in large amounts of text to read with only a handful of voice acting "every character had a screenplay's worth of dialogue to read", the gameplay demands strategy, you have to conserve items, and difficulty is very unforgiving and almost no player guide, no waypoints even for major quest items, or handholding, even on easy some fights you will be forced to retreat or avoid. A lot did not age very well after for Fallout 1&2 such as you were very much expected to read the game's manual to understand how to play back when games had manuals.
Bethesda after they bought the IP made fallout into 3D open world game, player would easily have a ton of lot and win against almost anything they came across even on hard. Tons of marketing and in game/real life merchandising, the games were easy to learn and access you don't really need to think that hard about going into a fight or a story quest.
A lot of classic fallout fans do not like the way Bethesda dumbed down the writing and gameplay. Yeah a lot of them are purists but they do have a genuine point there is a lot of questionable things regarding the general quality of the Bethesda Fallout comparatively especially everything regarding Fallout 76. Most of what you know of Fallout was created by them before Bethesda.
Both a great on their own in their own ways. Just keep in mind if you see this as all as one story it gets very confusing.
Fallout New Vegas tried to blend the two which is why most consider it the best fallout ever.
When talking about this show however, it takes place in California but it is heavily the East Coast style of Fallout, Brotherhood main power, Vault Tec big, 1950s Pre war parties, etc.
Bethesda says this show cannon but it doesn't really matter because this show mostly doing its own thing anyways there really isn't much outside of common world knowledge like lore aspects. There are no story beats or connections with any of the plotlines, events or characters in the rest of the world. There isn't really anything to get spoiled from long fans of the games.
However though, despite taking place in California the only location from the games is Shady Sands the capital of the New California Republic, which somehow was destroyed off screen, the rest New California Republic is shockingly absent for how much of massive deal they were in the lore even if somehow they completely disappeared only in a decade after New Vegas where this show takes place. They literally controlled most of California and developed to the point of being an actual country with taxes, manufacturing, research and development, healthcare, housing development, education, infrastructure, and a massive properly equipped army that drove the brotherhood out of the whole region. They were the closest thing you could get to pre war lifestyle in Fallout. This is like nobody remembered the Roman Empire after it fell, this has created a lot of arguments between fans. Strangely though the only actual character from the games that take place in the show is Robert House (Major Character and a fan favorite from the West Coast Fallout New Vegas) for some brief scenes.
I'm just happy this video game adaptation isn't a dumpster fire.
Lucy uses a stimpack on her wound which is basically a medical marvel in a small injection halting bleeding and helping close wounds within a matter of seconds so wounds like that one she revieced from the raider can be partially healed quite quickly thanks to the stimpack making it less of an inconvenience, though after the war ofc stimpacks are now quite a rarity as no one is making them anymore
It’s no point thinking about the personal bunker thing, no one really survived in a personal bunker, well except House.
The flashback timeline a fictional alternate universe in which nuclear energy tech caught on rather than technology using modern transisters. It’s why even though they are in year 2077, they have the early 50’s estetic. Actually more things happened but that’s the reason for the tech
Since someone spoiled it for you already. I'll spoil it further. The dog didn't die. It was just for the shock factor
Maximus gets a good character arc
as a big fallout fan myself; I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
Walton Goggins. I love his stuff, especially in Righteousness Gemstones. If i had a bunch of money, id hire him to be the vicker at my wedding.
I remember being in the 5th grade and learning about the Cold War in school, and they actually told us to hold up our thumbs if we see a nuke and compare our thumbs to the cloud, just like in the show.
Awesome you're gonna review this. I never played the games but loved the show. Already on my second watch through. Lucy and the Ghoul are my faves and yes Maximus is annoying 😂!
In the games, you would play a character LIKE Lucy. A Vault Dweller who goes to the surface for one reason or another. You can be good or bad, and there are factions you can join (like the Brotherhood of Steel, or the Enclave). Factions give you different sets of side quests, the same as a main character like The Ghoul might require you to help them so theyll help you. Thats why there are multiple storylines.
While Terminator 2 is my all-time favourite depiction of a nuclear bomb drop in media, the opening to this episode is still pretty haunting 😨
So, heres the lore info:
Fallout takes place in an alternative universe to our own where Nuclear-powered everything took place and while the style retained esthetics from the 50'/60's, the tech is more advanced than ours, all of it, medical and technological.
In the show you follow different characters that represent different possible runs you can do in the games.
- Lucy - Normal neutral/good hearted first run of a Vault Dweller for a first time player that finds out just how much of a sh*thole the commonwealth is the hard way (Also side fact, the actress for Lucy is the voice actor for Jinx in Arcane)
- Maximus - Faction based run for a second player with a few questionable choices that you later regret that as better knowledge of the commonwealth but doesnt fully know everything (also, you will turn around with Maximus)
- The Ghoul - Seasoned player that simply doesnt give a damn and will just do anything to pull the trigger or do something interesting in side quests while following the main storyline knowing how every mutant works and maybe how they came to be (aka. Knowing the lore)
- Mystery - [Access Denied]
The game only follows your character since its a RPG (Role-Playing Game) that you can do multiple different runs that end with multiple different endings. Also dont worry, no good doggo dies in the Fallout show, thats about the only spoiler ill give.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the show will show how different the mindset of each character has through their stories and with each other.
The shows will delve into a lot of Lore that until now only viewed as theory now deemed canon, since the show is Canon to the games. There's also many references to the games and the behaviors of the characters.
Also know that the ahow is taking things from ths following games:
- Fallout 1
- Fallout 2
- Fallout 3
- Fallout New Vegas
- Fallout 4
- Fallout 76 (something good out of it i guess)
Elder Cleric Quintus is played by Michael Cristofer. He's been in a few things but you probably recognise him most from his role in Mr. Robot as Phillip Price
Fallout is alternate history. In the Fallout universe, after World War 2, scientists made advanced technology with nuclear energy. The setting before the war is a homage to 1950's science fiction. In the Fallout universe, the year is 2077 when the nuclear bombs fall, causing people to rush into the vaults to avoid dying to the nuclear apocalypse. Those that couldn't get into the vaults either died or became ghouls.
Walton Goggins is the actor who plays the Ghoul. He was the time for cocaine and bitches guy in Predators.
I was the same with the cleric actor. Couldnt place where i knew him from, gave up trying to remember and imdb'ed him: Mr Robot. He was the big bad in Mr Robot
it takes place in 2077 when the bombs drops btw so even though it has that 50s vibe its in the future
