1. Nobody has the necessary machines to make bottle caps any more, so they can't be counterfeited. "New" ones only appear when they're found in old ruins that are dangerous to explore. That makes them one of the most stable currencies you can find. 2. Pay attention to Lucy's "okie-dokie" response. As the season goes on, the mood it presents...changes. I think it was a brilliant it of characterization, highlighting her progress on her personal journey.
Though the fact they're in use in 2296 on the west coast speaks to the sorry state of the area since the most recent games, where they'd been surpassed by issued currencies.
The original game fallout had water as a store of value, to represent that hey needed a portable currency rather than hauling water around. Bottle caps are a finite item. So they were used and backed by water as a store of value. Filly is the name of a town, they are still in California.
So bottlecaps as a currency originally started in the Hub over100 years prior to the TV show and a few decades before Fallout 1. At first people traded with bottles of water which had the backing of the Hub Water Merchants. This was pretty cumbersome, and it was more convenient to use bottle caps instead. And since there was a somewhat limited number of caps in the world, it kept supply and demand and the economy going. Although there have been some counterfeit caps here and there, the Crimson Caravan usually cracks down on them. Since then some societies have tried to make paper money again, although they're only worth half as much as caps, you'd be paying 2 dollars for every cap essentially.
Who needs bottle caps? Who needs gold? Who needs printed paper? Who needs bitcoins? Besides, I guess these are probably not ordinary bottle caps. They are Nuka Cola bottle caps!
Fun reaction guys, and as someone else mentioned please avoid light colored sweaters behind the video. The giant bag Max carries is IMO a nod to the enormous inventory you have in the game which you often give to your companion to carry. Why is anyone surprised when the ghoul stabs CX-404, he didn't survive 219 years by letting things kill him. The Ghoul is not a zombie he is mutant created by a massive dose of radiation usually (although it can happen in other ways). Ghouls are functionally immortal (like a tolkein elf).
I can see how, without prior knowledge, you could come to an assumption that vaults were built after the war, but... I find it hard to believe that, 1: a company can remain functional to the point of building gigantic underground facilities. As in, maintaining supply routes for materials, keeping planners, engineers and a workforce of tens of thousands from dying in the initial years after the war or in the lawless wasteland afterwards and also then having enough 'rich people' to fill them. And 2, why they would sink decades of work into building bunkers clearly meant specifically to withstand nukes when the nukes have already been dropped and no more are to be expected.
Or the people outside as whole skeletons would be a clue. If they died later, as if the vault was built later they probably would have been eaten by animals.
1:01:25 There’s 122 vaults not counting special vaults and structures Vaults-Tec might have built for their own uses. Probably one of the reasons Dr Wilzig (Michael Emerson) knows Lucy’s last name is because her dad is the overseer of one of the vaults near to the institution he was based at. There’s also the fact he was on the way to Moldaver herself so he might know something about what her scheme is.
I personally love it when Caleb, Jacob or both go so far afield in their theories. I can understand why some roll their eyes but getting huffy and holier than thou in the comments is rude and uncalled for. If the brothers were being racist, misogynistic or classist, then I would expect harsh replies, but they (Caleb in this instance) are just being goofs who then got caught up in their own hubris. I can't wait for Caleb to see the truth of the vaults in later episodes! I hope, and I think, he will handle it with grace. How exciting the reveal will be to Caleb and Jacob if ppl in the comments don't spoil it, just to prove they know more than the bros. (and duh, commentors have seen the whole show, even if they had already realized when the vaults were built at this point in the show) Good on you, commentors, but don't force the bros. to take your path or belittle them while they watch this show for the first time. Apologies for my tone, but I stand by my sentiments
LOL Caleb's assumptions about the Ben Linus character's chip and how it works with his knowledge are WILD and so funny to me. Why not just assume he knew Lucy's last name because her father was actually someone important and therefore warranted tracking from the Enclave? As you can probably tell, I haven't finished the show so these are just my assumptions. I've only seen through episode 3. Also, I'm not 100% sure on the lore of the Vaults (it's been literally a decade+ since I've played Fallout 3) but I don't get why Caleb has this fixation on the Vaults being built post-War. It just seems infinitely more reasonable to assume that they would have been built as a safety measure for the nuclear war EVERYONE knew was inevitable.
yeah, I found his assumptions really odd. I don't know how people would build full fallout shelters AFTER a nuclear apocalypse... I have no idea where he got that from 😅 it doesn't make any sense. We literally see people get into a fallout shelter in the opening 5 minutes of the first episode.
@@oh.sorry.dont.mind.meeeeeThat might be why they're assuming that because they might think Vaults would require future technology and think it was actually 50's era tech they had as that family goes into a pretty regular fallout shelter not a vault
Okey Dokey! What an episode! Got to love the scene in the town that was amazing! But I got to love Lucy holding up a gun and just asking for directions politely too! 😂 Loving your reactions to this so many great and crazy moments! Great discussions as well considering you are still unfamiliar with the franchise!
It’s another nod to the game as it’s very common for players to forget to holster their weapon when trying to interact with NPC’s… to their social detriment on the dialogue choices.
Titus could have killed that bear too. The Armor is awesome. He also had a Squire. He simply needed to fight and his Squire could have shot the bear. It was an impossible fight to lose and yet Titus through cowardice clutched defeat from the jaws of victory.
He only ran when he realized maximus wasn't doing anything. He was exaggerating slightly when he said it was all Maximus's fault but Maximus did fail badly as a squire. He really is a horrible squire.
There are multiple videos of Fallout 4 players always losing when trying to fight a Yao Guai with no weapons on hard difficulty. Not sure why a simple concept is so hard to understand Edit while wearing x01 power armor
@@markcarpenter6020 That's not why he ran. He ran when he hoped the bear would go after Maximus instead of him. He wanted to use him as a distraction/sacrifice.
Honestly the sweater probably made it *easier* to see, the problem is with how see through they have made the picture-in-picture. Not sure why honestly, as plenty of other channels don't seem to have had any problem posting reactions.
Funny the guy that was holding the goal was digging him up every couple of years and cutting pieces off.Of that leads me to believe that that guy was a cannibal and had a whole goal farm where he would feed them whatever kept them alive and he was cut in pieces of meat off them.He was probably selling the meat.That's a very follow thing to encounter in your travels
The reason given for why Bottlecaps are the currency, at least in the original Fallout, is that they're backed by bottles of water (like how currency used to be backed by gold). So the "cap" is connected to its "bottle".
In terms of post apocalyptic education I’m sure literacy rates have plummeted as a low priority compared to other survival skills. I expect it’s somewhere between the “dark ages” where only monks or the aristocracy were educated and Wild West style little school houses on the prairie. We haven’t seen what it’s like in other countries/continents but in the former United States knowledge/education is preserved by various factions like the Brotherhood Of Steel (metaphorical monks) the remaining active Vaults and others. Most books have been destroyed but there is still a vast amount of electronic information that can be accessed by a Pip-Boy. Additionally amongst the ghoul population you would have plenty of people formally in educated professions or education itself. So while the average person in the wasteland might be lacking in formal education and academic knowledge outside of what they do to survive the are still plenty of people able to keep that knowledge alive and pass it on. I expect there is a lot of apprenticeships taking place amongst doctors and engineers and such.
The series is great overall but Ella Purnell's character simply blew it out of the park. I'm so glad they managed to encapsulate the Fallout humor perfectly.
8:30 the vaults are not a new thing. They were all pretty much completed when the nukes fell. After which, no one is going to have the capability & resources to be able to construct them when most of the world & definitely the U.S has gone to hell in a hand cart. Each vault cost hundreds of billions of dollars, some up to half trillion dollars to construct.
technically titus is right about maximus. he betrayed his knight, stole the power armor, and also skipped in line. makes one wonder if titus had any thoughts about maximus possibly hurting his fellow aspirant. ps.: it's clearly a misunderstanding, he thought he's in the brotherhood of steal :P
@@Jackex it's possible. but then again he's been with them for quite some time, and closed his eyes to reality. he holds onto that version of them he had as a kid, and therefore tries to use the powerarmor to bring justice. but he fails instantly, freeing a "chicken abuser" from justice. it's a nice demonstration that reality is often not what it seems and just having a big power armor will not be enough. I wonder if maximus was with the brotherhood eversince they found him near the blast site.
@@danii7584 i think you're confusing the identities of the two, Maximus is the one who stole the suit, the squire of knight Titus. After stealing the suit Maximus starts calling himself Titus since it makes no sense for a squire to be walking around using a Knight's power armor, but his name is still Maximus.
"I love the idea of a game starting and an NPC just tells you to take their head" Yeah, I wish, but the writing isn't nearly as creative in the recent Fallout games as it is in the show. If you guys ever want to check out the games, 1 and 2 are old but really cool, and New Vegas is probably the only "modern" Fallout game worth playing.

He's an ass but he isn't really wrong about Maximus. Notice he only ran from the bear when he realized maximus(the only one of them with a gun) was standing around with his thumb up his rear. And Maximus didn't even try to help him till Titus started yelling and screaming at him. Heck he didn't even think to get a stimpack till Titus yelled at him.
All the Brotherhood names tend to draw from the Roman Empire. Same root as the Warhammer Empire of Man, Rome is the archetype for 'noble/corrupt' empire.
