I recently found out that one of my favorite guns in Mass Effect 2 is an Easter egg of you. The M920 Cain is literally named after you. So Cain is obviously is your last name and then M920 is just Tim spelled backwards with the first two letters swapped for what number of the alphabet they are. So you have M followed by 9 and I is the 9nth letter of the alphabet. Then 20 and T is the 20th letter of the alphabet. So now we have mit instead of m920. Now reverse mit and you get Tim. Now combine it with the last part of the gun's name and you get Tim Cain.
One of the biggest, and probably obvious, Fallout references I know of is in Fable 3. The whole town of Understone is a reference to the vaults in Fallout. It's an entire community living underground, waiting for an all clear that the surface is safe. And to top it all off, the entrance to the town is a giant cog-shaped vault door!
I'll still never forget my art teacher in school in 1997 and him having Fallout on his school computer. He was such a fan, whenever making pictures, paintings, drawings, or sculptures, he would always add in a hint of Fallout of Vault 13 into his artwork. It was so great seeing those hidden gems in his work during class.
Stalker:call of pripyat has a Fallout 2 easter egg where you find a dead npc named "Myron" You'll even get an achievement for finding it too on the console port where the icon for it is a little jet inhaler
@@darth_crumbook? And? They did market it, I saw the ads, also if you had r it no steam you got a big pop up message when you launched game that told you….
In 7 Days to Die there's a rare chance when you engage a merchant they'll say "Sorry I've never heard of a... Stimpak?" It's kind of blatant but fits as a post-apocalyptic survival game that takes a lot of themes from Fallout and gameplay design from BGS Fallouts. The devs also explicitly cited the series as a major inspiration.
Hell yeah Underrail mentioned! There's a TON of references to fallout in the game. Even a unique pistol called the wasteland hawk, which is a desert eagle. Then another MUCH more overt one, the "Garden of Evan Creation Kit"
In Cyberpunk 2077 I think you can find a note on the body that says they were roleplayers that tried to recreate their favorite post apocalyptic game irl
@@lunasrojas_Uncle Tim is colorblind. That's why the Outer Worlds doesn't have an option for colorblindness because it's built into the game. He was on a podcast talking about it.
One of my favourite ones is Boyarsky's chip in Diablo 3 - Leonard also worked on the game for some time. The flavour text of the item (legendary gem) says: This fragment of a gem, called a chip, was discovered in an underground vault by old man Boyarsky, who fashioned it into the beautiful gem it is today. It damages those who would damage its owner, and once inserted into a socket, it will never fall out.
Oh, I noticed the reference to Leonard since I'm a Troika fanboy and knew he worked on Diablo 3 BUT sadly the French localisation totally missed the Fallout reference, iirc it has a whole different name and description.
@@Biouke yep quite often the localisations just don’t get the meaning / reference and mess up the translation. I tried translating one episode of Family guy back in the day and can tell you, it was much more work than I thought it would be :) To catch and translate all the linguistic jokes.
Hearing Tim mention the Underrail reference made me so giddy with excitement, was half expecting him to have played the game but super glad that it got a shoutout in this video.
Just yesterday I was playing Avernum 3, an old-school CRPG that seemingly no one has played but that is lots of fun, and this message shows up in game : "You could raise an army of mutants and conquer the world... Oh wait, was that another game?"
Heya Tim, I'm a hobbyist doing solo game development. While browsing some game design and level design channels, I stumbled upon this place. I'm struggling a bit with my projects, but I've loved hearing your stories about Fallout's development and your game industry perspective. I just want to thank you for putting your experience out here on YT.
Another reference in borderlands 2 is one of the control schemes in the settings called nuked, which mirrored the controls of fallout 3, jump being triangle, etc.
The Borderlands 2 shotgun named after Three Dog also has that bit in the description wich is very fun. There's also a unique weapon that Moxxi gives you (or is there two?) that has a reference to "I don't want to set the world on fire" by the Ink Spots, given other references you could count that.
The first STALKER game had a body named "Freeman" in one of the more dangerous areas of the game. With his PDA entry saying something about having to sell his crowbar for a can of meat.
I don't even know why I mentioned this. I must have gotten my wires crossed cause both Fallout and Half-Life were great "pathfinder" games of the same time 😅
In Surviving Mars one of the emergency events involved the water chip being broken and having to get a replacement. One of the choices includes getting water delivered whilst waiting for a replacement
Loved it ❤ And nice idea making a "fun Friday". It could be a cool way to ensure some more diverse topics in the videos, and I personally really enjoy some of the less serious videos like this one 😊
There was a full whole questline that started with a vault door opening in the middle of a mountain in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, and dealt with that community's problems with water contamination. That was extremely fun.
You forgot the best part of that reference - the final fight forces you to play in turn-based despite the game engine having been originally designed for realtime-with-pause.
There's a game called "A Building Full of Cats" that has a bunker level with a mini nuke on the floor and a picture on the wall of a "vault boy" kitty giving the thumbs up and standing in front of a vault door
HEY TIMMMM been in love with the videos recently had no idea you had a channel , but oddball question , could we possibly see Your fallout development team shirts or other items , I love dev team and movie crew items
Just goes to show how iconic the Fallout IP has become over the years. Efforts by you and your co-workers in the long lineage of this franchise have influenced people on so many levels with one game that had shaky beginnings! Developers and players (and now viewers) alike!
I used to play Age of Kings all the time back in the early 2000's (it was one of my friend's favorite games to play via LAN when I was in the Navy), and I never realized that the outlines of units behind trees & buildings or the Stormy Dog cheat were deliberately based on stuff from the original Fallout. Nice to see even small links between two of my favorite game series.
Stormy wasn't so much based on Fallout, as he WAS my dog after all, but the idea to put him in the game was taken directly from seeing Sasha in Fallout.
@@MattPritchardOfficial That is basically what I meant. Also I want to thank you & the rest of Ensemble Studios for making some games that brought much joy to me & my friends through some very trying times.
Hi Tim, first of all, thanks for this channel and for all the gamedev wisdom you are sharing with us, it certainly keeps me going in my wish to move to the creative part of development form being a QA. Apart from that I also have a short question. I just got the book "Fallout: The tale of mutation" published by Third Editions for my birthday and I was wondering if you've read it and if so what do you think about it. I don't think I've heard you mention it, but I might be mistaken.
I can confirm that back in the 1990s when the number of game development studios was a lot smaller, it was a lot easier to include nods to other games, as well as that developers from different companies often intermingled socially and would discuss what they were doing. Things that went away and got more controlled as the industry "grew up"
I didn’t think of this, it must be pretty surreal to see something you made being nodded to in a completely different IP Like cyberpunk having the vault reference in it
Me and one of my younger brothers were obsessed with fallout(we were 11 and 9 lol) and I remember we were playing starcraft together and seeing that reference blew our minds because we had never even encountered other people that had even heard of fallout back then.
Having played Bl2 before knowing of Fallout's existence and watching this video is quite interesting! I recognize those skins and found them completely inconsequential, if only I knew!
There is a Fallout easter egg in 2012 post-apocalyptic point'n'click adventure game Primordia. The vendor in the robot city of Metropol sells either the water chip or G.E.C.K. (I think it's the former but I am not sure, it's been a while).
i love your videos so much, tim. you're seriously one of my favourite creators on the platform right now. so grateful that you take the time to talk about these little tidbits with us!
@@CainOnGames Thanks for your reply, that was very interesting. I'll be testing things in grey scale from now on. Thanks for pushing your games to be more accessible.
That last one may have been a layered reference with Albert Cole (Fallout "1") and Vault 101 (Fallout 3) coming together as 1 and 3 or 13 referencing Vault 13. Then again this is pure speculation.
I know this isn't a game, but what about the crossover references between Fallout: New Vegas and The Venture Bros.? In New Vegas, James Urbaniak voices Dr. 0 (Dr. Thaddeus S. "Rusty" Venture), and has a couple lines about the Walking Eyes. In The Venture Bros. episode "Bot Seeks Bot" (one of the best episodes... and episode names), the entrance to Don Hell's club is clearly the entrance to the BoS bunker in the Hidden Valley.
I love the random scenario in 60 Seconds! by Robot Gentleman where it references Fallout 1 with a man in a blue jumpsuit asking for a water chip and you have the option to give him water!
I'm so glad that you played Underrail. Although, at first, I was confused when you mentioned 2015, but then I realized it was probably in early access at that time, while I played it later in 2018 when it was finished.
Hello Tim! I am an amateur programmer and always wanted to do a videogame as a side hustle. I always loved the aesthethics of Fallout 1 and 2 and isometric games in general. In one video of IGN you explained how the graphics and the map was done by hand but later on in Arcanum was changed into an automatic process. Would you mind explaining the process and how it changed in both ways? I had some ideas that are inspired in crpgs but I always suck at tile creation. Also big fan of Fallout 1, 2, and Outer Worlds. Outstanding work!
In Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous there's a Sarkorian/Numerian Vault and you can help the Mineshaft Dwellers of Mineshaft Fourteen solve their problem with a water crystal supplying them with water :) They use bottle corks as currency, and there was a druid amongst them who grew a tree from his head.
Tim, ive been a longtime viewer and I've always wondered, why is mad max such a huge influence on fallout? Who's idea was that? What's your favorite mad max film? What did you think about the mad max video game that is largely based on arkham knights combat and vehicle mechanics?
I'm surprised you didn't mention Mass Effect. The M920 (basically the space "Fat Man" nuclear launcher,) is literally named after you. Some people saw m920 Cain and assumed it was the biblical Cain, but it functions just like the fat man is fallout 3 (mushroom cloud and all,) and mass effect 2 came out literally a year afterwards fallout 3. Clearly the old Bioware team had a lot of respect for you.
Isnt there a fallout reference (or at least a Tim Cain reference) in Mass Effect 2&3? I remember there being a weapon named the Cain that shoots nuclear bombs
Hey uncle Tim, The Speedrun video on ign was fun to watch. Wonder if there is a speedrun of any Troika games that you still have the code for. (I forgot what game you said that you ran through a compiler, and it worked) You could share on the code side where the gane exploit is, or it wasn't checked to make sure player has done certain tasks. Like Tandy not getting kidnapped by the Khans if they are all dead. That might be a fun video
Hello tim! A question for you In Fallout 1, it looks like there's a city on the world map that is about where Las Vegas is in real life. Since it does seem like it's on map but isn't a visitable location, were there any plans for Las Vegas in the development of Fallout?
Nearly two minutes in and I was dreading that you were inexplicably going to never have seen the vault in StarCraft. It was like the first thing I noticed when I started playing it.
It’s an Obsidian game so I don’t know if this counts, but an alien NPC in Knights of the Old Republic 2 calls the player character “smooth skin”. I played that game before I played Fallout so I didn’t think anything of it, but then after playing Fallout and replaying KotOR 2 I connected the dots and was quite amused.
Hi Tim! I was waiting for the perfect video to ask this question. How did you feel when Fallout got to be a part of Super Smash Bros. when the Vault Boy Mii Outfit was added?
I think theres a fallout reference in Bioshock. If i remember correctly it was the design of the men and women on the bathroom doors in the welcome to rapture area... i think...
Never thought about the StarCraft reference. I just figured 13 was such a common number and didnt think about it. The mapmaker was good enough though, you could probably make a whole fallout parody in StarCraft.
Hey Tim, love your videos! This might be a controvercial question but do you see The Outer Worlds as a pseudo sequel to the original Fallout franchise? I ask because the lore for the first three Fallout games (the third being Van Buren) was that the vaults were an experiment to prepare humanity for space travel. Also, I know you didn't work on New Vegas but Mr House stated that he wanted to bring humanity to space. Just wanted to get you opinon!
I have an embarrassing amount of hours clocked into the Witcher 3 and I’ve somehow NEVER heard the war never changes line. I’m glad they make it a subtle, one-off thing instead of something that’s thrown into all the NPC dialogue at random. Keeps it from becoming annoying.
You wanna know something funny? There have been hundreds of Fallout 1 mods over the years, some insanely complex, some adding entire new towns, some inventing whole new games! And no one, not a single one...has ever made a simple mod to re-locate Necropolis to it's lore accurate spot in Bakersfield.
Hey Tim, would you ever consult on a fallout game if you got the chance (or if obsidian got to make another). Thanks! (sorry if this has been asked/answered before)
I have a potential Easter Egg from Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War. One of Powers' (a multiplayer character) skins is a blue jumpsuit with yellow lining, very similar to a Vault suit.
Hi Tim, actually there are open source projects of OG Fallouts ; would you like to do some code-related videos sometimes? As programmer would be very interesting
I'd love if you could check out Richard Lewis' critique of Fallout 4's story and how they could have made it better. He's a massive fan of Fallout 1, 2 ad New Vegas, and isn't too fond of Bethesda as you'll quickly notice if you watch his latest video that I am referring to. It is titled "Bethesda Doing The Most Bethesda Things Imaginable". He is an award winning esports journalist, I think you could both have a great conversation on modern games.
Tim, i had no idea you did The Outer Worlds. Very cool. Please do us the ultimate good and take over the next fallout project. Lord knows, bethesda ruined F4 and F76. Since the update, ive been playing more F1 and F2 than i can shake a stick at.
Hi Tim. It's us, everyone

Was finally able to beat the Master after a helpful forum post about pulse grenades.
Thanks, I can’t believe I didn’t see those!
Great content as always Tim! have a good weekend!
It’s an Obsidian game so I don’t know if this counts, but an alien NPC in Knights of the Old Republic 2 calls the player character “smooth skin”. I played that game before I played Fallout so I didn’t think anything of it, but then after playing Fallout and replaying KotOR 2 I connected the dots and was quite amused.
In Wasteland 3, the Patriarch has a Caesar's Legion flag in his room.
Hi Tim! I was waiting for the perfect video to ask this question.
How did you feel when Fallout got to be a part of Super Smash Bros. when the Vault Boy Mii Outfit was added?
I think theres a fallout reference in Bioshock. If i remember correctly it was the design of the men and women on the bathroom doors in the welcome to rapture area... i think...
I'm just gonna also believe that Cyperpunk 2077 is called that as a nod to when the bombs dropped. LOL.
Yay: Fun Video Friday sounds great to me ❤
Never thought about the StarCraft reference. I just figured 13 was such a common number and didnt think about it.
The mapmaker was good enough though, you could probably make a whole fallout parody in StarCraft.
You played Under Rail!? I really like that game. I should go back and replay it. Thanks!
UNDERRAIL MENTIONED 🔥
Hey Tim, love your videos! This might be a controvercial question but do you see The Outer Worlds as a pseudo sequel to the original Fallout franchise? I ask because the lore for the first three Fallout games (the third being Van Buren) was that the vaults were an experiment to prepare humanity for space travel. Also, I know you didn't work on New Vegas but Mr House stated that he wanted to bring humanity to space. Just wanted to get you opinon!
how must it feel to make one of the most iconic video games of all time?
There's a Fallout reference in Weird West a UFO crash, it's a reference to the random encounter in Fallout according to the devs
i bought fallout 1 and played 2 cuzz of you n fallout one is pure fire thanks
I really hope you and Leonard got one more fallout game in you guys. I’d be willing to bet if you two asked they’d say yes 👀
When you set off a nuke in goat simulator you get a vault suit for the goat lol
I love theses videos
I have an embarrassing amount of hours clocked into the Witcher 3 and I’ve somehow NEVER heard the war never changes line. I’m glad they make it a subtle, one-off thing instead of something that’s thrown into all the NPC dialogue at random. Keeps it from becoming annoying.
You wanna know something funny?
There have been hundreds of Fallout 1 mods over the years, some insanely complex, some adding entire new towns, some inventing whole new games!
And no one, not a single one...has ever made a simple mod to re-locate Necropolis to it's lore accurate spot in Bakersfield.
Hey Tim, what's your opinion on work from home/remote work in the gaming industry?
Heck yeah, Fun Fridays!
I love this! Easter eggs are so fun to find!
Hey Tim, would you ever consult on a fallout game if you got the chance (or if obsidian got to make another). Thanks! (sorry if this has been asked/answered before)
I have a potential Easter Egg from Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War. One of Powers' (a multiplayer character) skins is a blue jumpsuit with yellow lining, very similar to a Vault suit.
Tim, speaking of references, have you seen the nod to the Fallout: New California mod in the Fallout TV show soundtrack visualizer?
Hi Tim, actually there are open source projects of OG Fallouts ; would you like to do some code-related videos sometimes? As programmer would be very interesting
Because one dog ain't enough, and two is too low
THIS!!! Rawdog is how me and the hubby like it! Whilst playing the FO3 soundtrack. Super depressing coitus :(
I'd love if you could check out Richard Lewis' critique of Fallout 4's story and how they could have made it better. He's a massive fan of Fallout 1, 2 ad New Vegas, and isn't too fond of Bethesda as you'll quickly notice if you watch his latest video that I am referring to. It is titled "Bethesda Doing The Most Bethesda Things Imaginable".
He is an award winning esports journalist, I think you could both have a great conversation on modern games.
Tf2 engineer also has a pip boy cosmetic 🕺✨
Tim, i had no idea you did The Outer Worlds. Very cool. Please do us the ultimate good and take over the next fallout project. Lord knows, bethesda ruined F4 and F76. Since the update, ive been playing more F1 and F2 than i can shake a stick at.
Tims editing is improving 👏👏👏👏
I still remember when Team Fortress 2 added the Pip-Boy
I know we're here to talk about Fallout Easter Eggs, but I was incredibly excited to spot a TORG Box on your wall of games.
I played a lot of TORG in the early 90s. It was the inspiration for fate points in Arcanum.
