      There's a three year trade that happens between the Vaults 31, 32, and 33. Even with the supposed food disaster of Vault 32, people from Vault 33 WOULD know people from Vault 32. There's no way they wouldn't spot the replacement raiders.
      Plus, given the amount of data and testing they showed Lucy going through that they would have an extensive dosier on her husband to be. Which would at least have a physical description and probably a photographer as well.
      What should have happened is the door opens, and the Vault 33 residents spot the raiders right away, and then the raiders shoot their way in.
      I don't think the writers thought very much about the continuity of the show.

    Not sure if y'all will read this, but Fringy brings up around 1:26:20 that Todd Howard has said this is 100% in keeping with continuity.
    This is an outright lie. New Vegas is set in 2281, Shady Sands exists at that time and was not in fact nuked at the start of the story. The show explicitly says Shady Sands was destroyed in 2277. This is a catastrophic continuity error that essentially retcons the entire game from canon.

    • @Gladeader567

      Full disclosure, haven’t watched the show yet, but does it being nuked mean it didn’t happen? Bethesda has shown they have no idea what they’re doing before in not understanding how long 100 years actually is, was it nuked but the events of new Vegas still happened or fully retconned? It’s bad either way, but one’s just Bethesda being dumb and the others just awful.

No idea where you got 2282 from either but the NCR was far from collapse in 2281 and would have been in a significantly better state 4 years prior to the stalemate at Hoover Dam.

Completely downplaying the Covenant, making everything about Spartans? That was in Halo 4 and the Kilo 5 trilogy. Inane Forerunner bullshit that invalidates the stakes? That was from Halo 4. Complete butchering of the tone and style of the franchise? Halo 4.

    Fallout TV series is a classic Head Canon show. If you see the various explanations for contrivances, bad writing and shitty events (e.g. Fall of Shady Sands), you see people point to:
    1) The games were like this, and then promptly reference something tangential at best, usually from FO 3, 4 & 76
    2) Invented story about how this all fits
    3) Invented speculation on their own, none of which fits into the lore or seen in the show.
    If you notice, the TV series has a ton of deliberate ambiguity (e.g. "The Fall of Shady Sands Timeline"), for people to self-insert a LOT of stuff that isn't there. This is precisely like Ahsoka TV series all over again, where the fan commentators bandwagon on and insert the missing context here and there. Even when clearly none of this is in the TV series, or the writers werent thinking of it.

    The show is written in the same "style" as if bethesdas "head writer" Emil was behind it, that is "you know what would be cool in this scene? A completely unconnected, directly contradictory to lore and previous events thing that looks cool!" You know, like EVERYTHING he has EVER written.
    EDIT: When I was active duty, I would use a cheap electric in the field, but I'd have to shave with an actual razor before PT in the morning and again in the afternoon otherwise I'd have a visible shadow.

      Seriously, it's an alternate dimension out there...
      Luckily on my first attempt, my neighbor started having work done on his roof so I couldn't hear the show for a while and was forced to focus on what I could see.
      In the first episode, every single time that there is a woman and a man on the screen simultaneously, the plotline goes out of its way to show that the woman is stronger than the man.
      It got to the point that I was predicting what was about to happen like Red Letter Media does when watching a 40 year old movie about seeing women naked... Except that I was doing it on the first episode of a show that I'd never seen. Without audio.
      If I'm being _nice,_ that show is blatant trash.

    One of the biggest kicks in the nuts I’ve seen for The Fallout show that I’ve not seen many mention is the end tease of Vegas (yes there’s logistical issues of how these people even get there from what side but that’s not the point) the shot itself shows a complete naked New Vegas all the surrounding area is gone no roads, highways, monorail track hell no camp mccarran. I know it’s 15 years after New Vegas but it looks like nothing existed. All the issues of Bethesda world building shining through once again.
    I also just think this is a purposeful destruction of all non Bethesda Fallout/anything that was better. Shady Sands was the best post apocalypse settlement in Fallout they where building houses and civilisation along with it - Bethesda comes in it goes boom.
    New vegas and Obsidians Nevada was a working area and how the people lived and survived all made sense. The people had farms and ranches and everything was kept in mostly working order despite there being a war. - Bethesda comes in to make it shitty.
    I wouldn’t be surprised if the show ever goes to a place like Rivet city or Megaton (places that in the games where shit holes that in no way could survive for a long time) they’ll be thriving civilisations.

    Good stream, but I do wish you guys went a bit more in detail about fallout (the series). The fact that so many people say its always been silly since the beginning and give Bethesda a free pass to screw it up however they please is disheartening. Fallout since the beginning has been gritty and dark with elements of dark humor and satire as opposed to being a full on corny goof-fest for the sake of zaniness. I fear i may never see well-made fallout in my lifetime again, at least i can go back to the 4 decent games and my imagination. Edit: There's also fan-made mods like Fallout: London, Fallout: Miami, Fallout 4: New Vegas, and others that I have my eye on, but it is rather sad that the hard-core fans always have to pick up the slack for Bethesda.

    • @SwampGreen14
      @SwampGreen14 Місяць тому +24

      The argument that Fallout was always silly is such cope. The stories Fallout 1,2,3,New Vegas, hell, even Fallout 4's (even though terribly written) took themselves seriously. Its about the human struggle of of survival, and how as long as their are limited resources, mankind will always be at conflict with one another. Yes, their are silly encounters, but in Fallout 1 and 2 they were merely pop-culture references (ie. Finding the Tardis, or Godzilla's foodprint) and were never supposed to be canon. New Vegas put most of its references/extremely silly stuff behind the Wild Wasteland perk. And as I said, even the Bethesda games take themselves largely serious. When your Father sacrifices himself to stop the Enclave from getting Project Purity, it isn't undercut with Dr. Lee saying: "Wowzer, that just happened!" Or when you find out that your kidnapped son has actually lived longer than you and is now in his 80s, and is dying from cancer. Their are silly things in Fallout, but that doesn't make the world of Fallout silly to its core.

You play the game with a low INT and everyone will treat you as a drooling invalid incapable of speech, it's clearly intended as a comedy and not as a serious gritty drama.

      Yeah, the writing for side quests in 3 are good & some really good in 4 - but the mainline narrative in both games was always laughably bad ( Enclave / The Institute respectively ) The best way to enjoy 4 is to basically ignore the main quest as much as possible and just treat it like an open world game ( or the many great total conversion mods )

Also the Brotherhood as an organization in this show is just awful and not interesting. Maximus and Lucy's relationship was awful. Lucy was good (sometimes), you can say she developed as a character by the end of the show.

Besides the Ghoul being able to kill Maximus but just not doing so in Filly, they had the Ghoul pause to listen to Lucy before trying to shoot her and somehow Maximus outruns the bullet in order to save Lucy. If they wanted Maximus to defend Lucy, just have him start shooting at the Ghoul with his handgun to draw the attention away from her. We see how unstoppable the Ghoul is until the show reminds us about the other “essential characters” sharing the screen with him.

You can put MC gameplay over anything in shorts and it will garner a bloody unreasonable amount of views.
