R.I.P Shady Sands. For context, Shady Sands was the first settlement players encountered in Fallout (1997). It was a simple adobe village founded by the dwellers of Vault 15 a generation earlier. Over time, it grew into a small, thriving community. The game is set in 2161, which is about 120 years before the events of the Fallout TV series. Shady Sands reappeared in Fallout 2, set roughly 80 years after Fallout 1 in the year 2241. By this time, Shady Sands had developed into a major city in the Wasteland and had become the capital of the NCR (New California Republic). The NCR itself was founded about a decade after the events of the first Fallout game. The NCR (New California Republic) is a major superpower in the West, the closest thing to an old-world nation. It has its own presidents, paper currency, government, and military. However, seeing the Republic in the state depicted in the Fallout TV series was a significant shift from its last appearance in Fallout: New Vegas. That game, set only about 15 years prior to the events of the show, depicted the NCR expanding into the Mojave Wasteland as it pursued further territorial growth. Along with a conflict with the Legion to the East, inspired by the Roman Empire, a faction made up of conquered tribes.
A lot of people said the destruction of Shady Sands was retconning. But one line in FNV seems to indicate that Shady Sands was already gone in 2281 and the line is in the NCR citizenship test in Freeside to get a "free meal" where the player is asked "what WAS the name of the original Capital of the NCR' with Shady Sands being the answer....Which indicates to me that there was a new Capital, otherwise the question would have been "what IS the name of the Capital"....
Yes, the bombs dropped in 2071 which was 219 years from when this show started. The reason Maximus believes that the bombs dropped when he was younger is because that is all he knows. He wasn't taught any history.
Lucy and Maximus are still very childish due to the way they were brought up in what are essentially cult settings. Lucy learned that she cannot trust people implicitly and is trying to figure out her own BS detector. Maximus does not know how to trust people which saved them from the fiends but also destroyed the bond he formed with his squire. Lucy and Maximus having to travel together means that they can start learning from each other.
Yes. I like to add that experience has taught Max that others can't be trusted, as you note, and that he has to be a hard-ass. But his romantic heart, paired with his gilded memories, makes him want to be a heroic savior. So every time he has to make a decision, he attempts to be one of those very different things - hard-ass or hero. Unfortunately, he frequently chooses poorly and he doesn't have enough real-world experience to be good at either. Kinda like a teenager trying to figure out who they are.
As you are watching and learning, anything that has Vault-tec's name on it is sus. That R and D place Lucy and Max stumbled upon is a subsidiary of Vault-Tec as the sign mentioned. Shady Sands, as the signed indicated, was the capital of the NCR and was destroyed by someone/some faction. Max survived and was picked up by the Brotherhood who were probably there to see what happened. And there's Vault 31... Any how, Betty may come off as a kindly older lady but that long stare she gave Norm before she walked out of the Overseers office in 32 was a threat towards him to stop pushing it.
There was confusion among Lucy and Maximus about the bombs. Lucy was talking about the Great War of October 2077 which is what we see at the very beginning of the series, 219 years before the show begins in earnest. Maximus was thinking about the destruction of Shady Sands that occured when he was a kid just a few years prior to the events of the show.
Yea, collaboration is good, she have him now and all of that but Maximus is lying to her, he knows that even if he was a knight he dont have the authority to launch a rescue mission. At most he can talk to the elders but after they have the head the brotherhood dont really have any need for her father.
I don't understand why reactors keep getting hung up on the 200 year fact. Yes it's over $219 years later. Lucy has been in a vault she has a different perspective

FFS, can you give her the chance to learn this stuff from watching instead of you rushing to explain everything? 🙄

The playlist for your reactions to this series is kind of out of wack, it goes 4, 3, 2, 1, 5, so this is a heads up.
