Fallout Lore: Given that we visit this city in the Fallout TV Show, and it is also a location that dates back to the original Fallout, I wanted to cover the location and break down SOME of the mystique to the city of Los Angeles. After the Great War, it is often referred to as The Boneyard or Angel's Boneyard.

What's your guys favorite city Fallout has been to? DLCs included
Vegas for me. 👍🏻
I really appreciated Boston because I live near there, but I felt like they put way more effort into the Capital Wasteland than the Commonwealth when it comes to accurately recreating the areas. Maybe that's just because they were closer to DC. For reference, last time I was in DC, I was able to navigate from some big convention center to the Smithsonian while listening to the Fallout 3 soundtrack with ease.
@@TencelasI feel like outside of DC this isn’t true but I feel like Boston is more accurate with some weird fluctuation in the city center and islands
Pittsburgh felt huge to me so it gets something from me.
@@llyy2133 Pittsburgh or "The Pitt" is definitely a close second for me.
The Angels Boneyard was always such a cool and harrowing name for post apocalypse LA, love it
Definitely. It evokes a certain imagery when called that.
As an La citizen I can confirm I love that name
Fallout isn't post apocalypse, it's post-post apocalypse
Truth, especially where we are at in the timeline currently
Hopefully we get to see more factions (old or new) in season two. With the show being set in the West Coast, it would be such a waste for them to not showcase other factions that aren't just Vault Tec, the Brotherhood, or NCR.
Completely agree, they should use the source material to the fullest. Especially when pulling from 1, 2, and New Vegas given they’re so relevant to the setting.
Great Khans would be cool
@@xsts420x4 Yea we better see them in season 2, or find out what happened to them at least
Ten bucks says the show's writers never played Fallout 1 or 2.
@@Thagomizer tbh neither has 95% of the fan base, part of the reason I made this video. They’re not exactly approachable, not many 90s games are.
The writers should at least read the story and watch gameplay of them tho. The classic music just hits different as well.
I would love if they remastered them so they felt like something akin to Wasteland 3.
One of my favorite regions in the Fallout universe and relatively untouched by lore until the TV show and it only was a small portion of LA Metropolis. I am glad you touched on the fact Shady Sands in the show is located way closer to LA than the original games did and this has to be explained. I hope it isn’t just an oversight or retcon. I hope the NCR just created a new Shady Sands closer to Hollywood and then it got nuked and they went back to the original spot which is way farther north east of LA.
Yea I’m quite nervous for their explanations.
I’ve also heard some saying in that scene that the skyscrapers and city in the background were constructed by the NCR and we were actually still far from the boneyard.
I find this incredibly far fetched and I don’t remember exactly where we were in the show.
@@nvRanger It's super easy to pinpoint the the shows Shady Sands is if you use the Observatory in the last episode as a reference. If Shady Sands is supposed to be where all the buildings are lit up, then it's exactly where the boneyard is on the fan-made interactive map. (More towards Culver City but still)
And if this isn't Shady Sands or the Boneyard, then why is Moldarver going though the trouble of powering unoccupied buildings? How do they have a functioning power grid all across LA 200 years after the bombs, let alone 20 years after the LA based "Shady Sands" nuke?
Can we see the crater from the observatory, not sure I follow.
LA is no doubt (supposed to be) the Boneyard. They just don’t refer to it as such in the show that I recall and it also appears very differently than it did in the original Fallout.
Shady Sands wasn’t in the Boneyard in that game, it was way out in the Desert. We don’t hear about Adytum, or the Followers various institutions, or the Gun Runners.
And I agree I have no idea how there’s a functioning power grid, but idk nothing bout power grids tbh.
@@nvRanger Maybe I'm making the wrong assumption, but I thought the skyscrapers that light up are between the crater and the observatory, obscuring it from view. If Moldaver's plan was to bring power to power Shady Sands, then it makes more sense to power what's left of it surrounding the crater, than to power a empty ruin miles away
@northerner3340 You definitely could be right, I guess we need the show to piece things together a bit more cohesively.
Don’t forget about Bakersfield! (Necropolis)
Maybe for another video 👍
Necropolis was Bakersfield??
@@elhomiegordo330 yeah it’s a city full of ghouls. As a Bakersfield native I feel like it was a solid choice
@@FritoBandito69333 lol
@@FritoBandito69333 Bakersfield must be a shit hole if you say that💀
I've written a bit about The Boneyard myself, and one idea I really like is that a lot of areas of The Boneyard have since been cleared away and become farmland, where metropolos once was.
Would love to see that image recreated in a first person Fallout. Parts of a dense ubran area abruptly cut off by farmlands and rural life.
Fallout is NOT a post apocalyptic setting.
It is a post post apocalyptic setting
Do we add a post every 100 years
underrated channel
underrated comment
Awesome video! I hope you upload more Fallout stuff soon lol
I would love it if you could review more of the tv series, its lore and your thoughts and the future of the factions, etc. 👌
appreicate the suggestion, I'll definitely continue uploading.
Love love love the style of your videos.
Thanks for saying 🙏
I hope in season 2 we see the settled part of Boneyard and see where Caesar came from. I also wonder what The Followers still there are up to. They have a university.
I would as well. Fear they would be overrun without the NCR. Bo’s might come thru and confiscate their tech and meds
@@nvRanger let's hope not. The WC BOS was fine with them but Maxson's BOS is more brutish.
@@nvRanger you know adding to my previous comment. I wonder what became of NCR factories and vehicles.
@@corypowercat7277I think Maxson's BOS is what you would expect as a natural reaction to what humans just went through.
We can worry about being nice when survival is assured
@@redacted7989 not really what I was saying.
I love your lore you have a good voice for this!
That’s kind of you to say. Thanks 🙏
Surprised they didn’t take the title “Los Diablos” instead
Would’ve been equally fitting
Amazing job VR keep them coming and hopefully your doing good
Thanks man, appreciate you. Doing great
@@nvRanger your welcome and amazing I’m doing good as will
Good to hear
@@nvRanger thanks
@@nvRanger Actually nevermind delete your channel, you fell off after you stopped doing family guy content. NOW LEAVE BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!!!!!!!!!
You have become my favorite fallout creator
That’s awesome of you to say 🙏
Love the video! what's the music you used in the beginning?
4:34
I'd think it would be interesting if that was the case.

This video here from 1961 really hits home the amount of growth the City was going through, so much to say at 6:38 "There may be 25 Million people here to 50 Years(2011)" likely based on estimations of population growth of the time. I'd think it would be really consistent with the theme in Fallout of a "1950s-60s" mindset and futurism for the City that was expected to become the biggest soon ends up being the biggest in the Fallout world.
Sorry for the late response but excellent contribution. It’s not clear in the canon, and I’m not sure where BGS will take the series but perhaps the OG devs had something similar in mind.
NCR AND PROUD WE WILL REBUILD SHADY SHANDS WE WILL WIN WE WILL REBUILD AMERICA FOR FREEDOM FOR DEMOCRACIE FOR THE REPUBLIC💙
Amen brother
BOS says no.
Todd Howard says no.
Imagine wanting to pay taxes..
@@muskulls4bones249 this man is out of line, but he's right
Hey, is it possible to get the opening song title by any mean?
I'll do ya one better, here is the link
ruclips.net/video/1tobT9C6xEs/видео.html
Couple versions of the song, so its worth looking around at others. Help Me Faith is the name, from Far Cry 5.
@@nvRanger You’re the best man, thanks a lot
@@MZ-9993 no prob
Wholesome exchange, men of culture.
Speaking about LA and TV show, my butt blew up, when creators decided to move Shady Sands to the Boneyard. It just doesn't make any sence to me!
It is quite confusing
Just a suggestion, 5:22 and 5:53 made me get motion sickness. While I like the aesthetic of the footage resembling old footage could you make it less jumpy next time? Other than that, great video! ❤️
For sure, unfortunately it’s in other videos but the newest Sierra Madre video and onward, I’m removing its use. Thanks for the feedback
i hope we meet the kings in ses2
would be great
Shi returns
I really wish there was a 3d fallout in California because the first 2 do not do the location justice i get why they don't do as much with the location but it's wasted potential
It always baffled me why there was no little shout out to Bethesda Software in FO3, when Bethesda (and Rockville, where the company actually was at that point) are on the map of the game.
Were there really no Easter eggs or anything? I had it my head that there must have been but I haven’t played Fallout 3 in years now.
@MalpaisRanger I really don't think there is.
However as I now live 15 minutes south of Olney, MD I can confirm that it is absolutely overrun with Deathclaws and should be avoided at all costs.
Lmao
Fallout 3 has the Bethesda ruins
But is it the Bethesda Softworks ruins of the Bethesda, Mayland ruins? Cause it's also a town in Maryland, that they happen to be located near.
The fallout show sxcks smh
Fallout 1 & 2 had the best setting too
I wish they chose to tell the new vegas storyline and/or setting/style in the show instead of using the fallout 4 style/setting. Fallout 4 was so lackluster in comparison to fallout 3 and new vegas.
Agreed, honestly would love a New Vegas prequel into the main story tv series, even if it was made separately. Would translate well into a show
I’m honestly not sure what exactly the first min or so of the video means. What obliterated LA was dozens of nukes, if not hundreds (as you mention in the video), not a general anarchic state.
I enjoy introducing each lore video with some form of real world association to the topic at hand.
The closest I could find to relate to the disarray of Los Angeles was the various LA Riots. Obviously the Fallout universe pre war situation does touch on the same issues but there certainly was public unrest and panic given the state of the world with resource shortages/wars and nuclear war on the horizon.
The video took two minutes to start 2:00
Thanks, I’m getting sick of this guy and his pretentious intros
@MalpaisRanger my brother in christ. A long intro, no matter the effort put in, will almost always be boring, good video though
Thanks
Fix your volume
What part exactly, Tom?
Funny how the show retconned all of this lmao, Shady sands was moved to LA and the boneyard no longer exists.
''There's no retcons, you're just a hater'' - Fallout show shills.
Edit: continue seething shills ;)
The show is bad and there's nothing you can do to change that.
The boneyard is LA???
@@shoemcflextheflex2199 Yes?
@@Badookum so why say the boneyard doesn’t exist when it does
@@shoemcflextheflex2199 Can you read? I said it no longer exists in the show, not in Fallout's canon.
Nuked the franchises lore and aesthetics, the show finished what Bethesda started. And these people are exited for more.
What a disgusting place
Aw it’s not that bad
What does actually footage of la riots have to do with a fictional story with an alternate universe that’s timeline split from ours in the 1950s, so 1990s la is irrelevant other than it’s cultural impact on the creators of the the game, please separate reality from fiction, even just for the sake of empathy to your fellow man
You mean when LA became a lawless hellscape of burning buildings and people looting freely? Your right. Has absolutely nothing to do with a post apocalyptic LA of burned out buildings and lawless raiders. Oh, wait….
Reality is intertwined with our fiction. Fiction pulls from reality regularly, especially within Fallout. Endless examples there.
Yes the LA Riots have little to do with Fallout directly, but I try to include something from reality in each lore video I do and the Fallout universe is certainly no stranger to civil unrest.
The 90s edginess had an impact on the style of Fallout as you stated so there’s a connection you made an example of.
I’m not sure I understand your complaint. It’s up to you separate reality from fiction regardless of the media you’re consuming.
In the Lore there where ocational riots. Certainly added atmosphere of what might have been going on during or the chaos to follow.
@@masterblaster2733 For sure, I don't always love the pre-war moments in Fallout recently, sometimes less is more and I like the mystery.
However, seeing panic and the civil unrest in a world with resource wars and nuclear war on the horizon would be interesting.
Dont go critiquing other people's work when your grammar and punctuation are at a 3rd grade level.
Watching videos like this point out how much the tv show sucks. I know people like it, but i frankly find it sub par to what it should have been. If you want to see a GOOD fallout skit that was made with actual talen...project sunburst by sodaz. Chefs kiss.
It’s a 5.5/10
Not much effort into it
