i see the reference there
Bless y'all for mentioning Tim Cain and other OG Fallout folks. Legit the first time I've heard them name checked in the entire lead-up to the show.
Johnathan Nolan mentions them in an interview he just did too
@@mbbb169 very heartened to hear!
@@aonaran7571 Yeah it's a great interview and put my mind at ease on a few topics. He really seems like a big game nerd and like he took just about everything into consideration.
@@mbbb169 you have the link, by any chance?
he created the first game and didn’t want to do the second one. he worked for a year on fallout 2 and quit. don’t know why we revere his name like it’s holy when he only worked on 1/5 of the series and has had zero involvement since he quit fallout 2.
Good video, but two things you shoulda have went over:
1. The creation of the brotherhood of steel (and their mission)
2. The reason technology looks so ‘50s era. It’s because the transistor was developed in fallout lore, but semiconductors, etc weren’t, which was another divergent from our timeline, I believe around 1940~ this is why vacuum tubes are so prevalent.
Isn't it because the transistor *wasn't* developed in Fallout lore that led to the prevalence of vacuum tubes?
there isn’t 1 point of divergence but just multiple differences over the course of history
@@supahgaming8249which is why I said “another” divergent from our timeline.
@@adamwoodford7629 No, Transistors were made but VERY late. Atleast the 2050s.
Has #2 actually ever been confirmed? Pretty sure that’s a fan theory that has been spread around as if it’s official.
One thing Ive always never fully understood about Fallout was the concept of the vaults. Like, I get that they were used maliciously as experiments for the elites and upper class, but to what end? When they are using them, they are in need of them. The nuclear war and fallout has just happened, so what is the point of the experiements? By the time most of the vaults would open, hundreds of years have past. Who is going to be around to look at and record the results of the experiments of those inside? And even if they wanted to study them simply to see what was best suitable environment for the elites...if they managed to survive this long along with the people in the vaults, werent they already in the best possible one? And what is the need of being rich when the world is in ruin? And if everything went haywire and the only people that exist are rich, are they still technically rich? Or average? And wouldnt most of their wealth, or what they would call wealth, be depleted by the time their own vault opens or even be functionally useless in whatever the new world is?
Just a handful of thoughts, and a bunch of overthinking, but idk...Ive always found the concept of the vaults being experiments a little weird
It doesn't make *any* sense until you introduce a new theory that ties everything together: The Enclave is trying to build a generational colony ship to colonize a distant star system. The vaults all perform various experiments related to how things could go wrong on a ship trapped in the void of space. Even the vault that had a single guy and a box of puppets could be seen as an experiment to determine if a single crewmember could stay awake while the rest stay locked in cryo-sleep (the answer is no, the crewmember will go insane).
Once you introduce that theory, it ALL makes sense ;)
@@cryptophoenix2023ah yes, a funky little generational ship, ain't no thang, sucka
@@cryptophoenix2023 ruin a perfectly good planet to run experiments to check if they can survive trip to a distant planet😅 rich ppl are indeed genius
And remember that not all vaults were experiments. Many of them opened without issue and those people were mostly the ones that repopulate the wasteland
Correct me if I’m wrong but I remember you can read some of the experiment logs on the computers in the vaults when you visit them. I don’t think they expected the ENTIRE world to be destroyed in a single day. They probably thought they would be able to maintain communication with the other vaults and compare results.
Also isn’t Mr House from New Vegas from before the war? He uploaded his consciousness onto a computer chip and controls all of New Vegas. Not hard to believe that other tech like this exists in fallout and the scientists are still somehow around/recording the data somehow.

"If you like multi-player online then try fallout 76, and if you like games that are good try New Vegas" 😂😂😂 I'm dead
I don’t get it. Was she being sarcastic?
So its in the future but still has the 50s aesthetic?
It seems so
0:45 - 0:54 - that burn on Fallout 76 😂
I actually died when I heard that. This is an automated message.
get over yourselves
just hope we'll be seeing some super mutants in the show
Now thinking back about Operation Alaska…I am more tempted to use T-45 PA in Fallout 76.
New Vegas is my favorite and Todd can’t take that away from me 😂
I played a few hours of both 3 and 4 but finally gave into NV after it sat in my Steam library for a long time. Almost done with the main game, making my way through the DLC, I already can't wait to play it again from another faction/build. I plan to go through 3 and 4 first though.
in the lore of the fallout games America also nuked china and vice versa. the two countries got destroyed not just america.
Every Fallout game is great for me. My favorite franchise.
I love the last sentence. They just know what we all know :D
Need a cola NEED A NUKA COLA!
Could you do a video about the guns from the FEAR series especially the " particle rifle "
Its all great about Fallout!
The Lore
The Weapons
The Armour
The factions
The Music
etc
etc.......
I wanna see Fisto, Gary and Herbert the most.
I love when its my Birthday. Those bombs be dropping on my bday
Just Marathoned the whole series,
A lot darker, sinister and grittier than expected.
From any current TV show.
Genuinely one of the best TV series made.
Already looking forward to the next instalment
Plus the dystopian sets where on point for a post apocalyptic world.
Even non Fallout fans should love it.
Hope it gets the love it deserves
I’ve basically only *heard* of the franchise prior to watching the show. Literally know nothing about the story of the games beyond “the world blew up from nukes and it’s a game based in the aftermath”. I just finished the show a few minutes ago and 100%, as someone who knows virtually nothing about the games (prior to this video I’m watching afterwards), it was incredible! Perfect cliffhanger too. Resolved all the questions I had throughout the season, but created new ones at the end that I’m beyond excited to watch unfold. 9/10 I think. Absolutely fantastic show
🎵Watch World War 3 on your TV before your television melts awayyy ☢️
I love that we see New Vagas at the end.
I thought the bomb was made on the 60s especially with black and white TV still operational.
Never heard professional voice Bailey before
They just release it early. Nice!
Is it weird to say that I prefer Fallout 4 over New Vegas? I just felt New Vegas as a little disjointed, plus the movement speed felt like the bottom half of my character was a slug, but of course that could be a build issue or something.
No, because it depends. If you prefer 4’s story theres plenty to deconstruct there but 4 is a more modern up to date game so the movement and just generally how the game feels is going to feel far better. Regardless both games need modding to reach their peak (Also no it is not a build issue, theres just no sprinting in New Vegas)
New Vegas introduced the faction system and companion quests, it was a step up from fallout 3 which didn’t even have gun sights without mods. The game introduced new fans to the lore of the west coast from the original two games, it used leftover story material from project van buren which was the original interplay version of fallout 3 that got canceled because the studio went bankrupt.
@@jokester3076you needed a pop-up to tell you the consequences of your actions?😂
@@mattc7420we also needed interesting, well-developed characters. Something Bethesda still cannot give us 15 years after fallout 3

Great video!
This Fallout live action makes the Halo live action seem like a joke
Well just like their game
Tells me to play New Vegas while I'm convincing Cass not to "settle accounts" with Alice and the Van Graffs. Good times.
I really miss Lucy McLean's father John....
I'm such a huge borderlands fan I can't believe I never tried these games until I saw the show👀
1:32 who taught y’all history 💀
yeah ussr was first to go to space
Gamespot getting blacklisted by Bethesda after this video 😢
for a lore video? haha ok buddy.
I dont recall the Enclave taking over Vault Tec???? 😂 can you cite that source?
Same I don't remember that either
The Enclave already existed Pre-war, close to 2077. It was the government that already was preparing for the great war. Since Vaul-tec was working with the government for their big experiments/project by analogy it was working with the Enclave. That's why such nefarious experiments were endorsed by the govern. Im not sure about the sources, but this is 100% canon. They were not "taken over" but they were associates, working on the same page/plan.
@@eduardolimayung931 yes exactly. Don't know why they say they were taken over
The faction or shadowy cabal in the pre-war government that later became the enclave, was behind the creation of Vault-Tec. play Fallout 2 for details.
The Enclave worked with Vault Tec for the vaults, I forget exactly to what extent but the President in Fallout 2 talks about it and the experiments in the vaults.
1:32 Who taught you history?
I just commented something similar, not sure how they got this so wrong.
That’s what I was thinking and I thought I had gone crazy cause no one was saying anything in the comments 💀💀💀
They put the first satellite into orbit. So by the metric of “first to space” sure, they won. By every other possible metric, it was USA so the way.
Bailey really likes Fisto for some reason...
Courier would be a sweet interesting crossover in the show, going to new vegas for sure. So maybe 🤔
I love Fallout!
A Dyson Swarm kind of structure around the Earth wouldn’t harness escaping energy from the Earth, thus minimising losses? These losses come either from natural causes (sunlight reflecting on Earth’s surface, geothermal activity etc) or from human activities. Isn’t there some logic behind that? Wouldn’t be that a first step before an actual Dyson sphere?
Wow
i want to play it so bad in chronological order but i dont have enough money to play from steam sadly
It's a retrofuturistic view of a world of 2077 from people of 1950s > nuclear apocalypse happened > 300 years of devastation and lockdown in a vaults > a present day in a world that have almost no idea how it was before the bombs
Bethesda slightly changed this sequence making it more simple : retrofuturistic world > bombs > present.
That's why in Bethesda's games world lives like everyone still remember how it was before the bombs.
Also in original games vault dwellers were smart and adaptive people, yes the didn't know much about life on a surface but they were trained and educated. While Bethesda made vault dwellers look like a naive kids without any capability to act reasonable.
Thanks i tried to find a video to explain the lore to my friend
Friends?
Yo era un mensajero hasta que me pegaron un tiro en la cabeza
Fallout notes on plausible lore and some assumptions being made from the Fallout show. There are many opinions on who or what dropped the initial atomic bombs in 2077. However, it is not necessarily confirmed that Vault Tek dropped the bombs in a direct way, or in a controllable way, even within the Fallout show of 2024. The way of initial bombs dropped, may have occurred is that she (Barb) only made a suggestion they drop the bombs, but the situation between the nations was more complex and could not be that easily manipulated. Yes, the Vault Tek were manipulators, but even they had limits to what they could do, and may had over confidence on what they could do. It is still unknown as to who, (or what) cause the initial dropping of bombs. It should be noted that as seen in Fallout 76 that various types of bombs kept being dropped only a short 25 years later. There are still unverified facts in the Fallout universe.
Much props for giving Fallout New Vegas some major attention. X)
Fallout lore is a complete insanity, in the best possible way
Wait so, even though everything we see in the fallout games/show looks like the 1950s/60s before the nuclear apocalypse, it’s really supposed to be the 2060s?
They never advanced
Fallout 4 was a great game. A lot of fun. I wish they would remaster the older games.
“ussr did not become Russia”… ussr was not only Russia it was many other countries, and when ussr seized to exist it became not only Russia but all the other very independent, sovereign countries, with their own unique languages and cultures, where people also can happen to watch this video and realise that stereotypes about American ignorance is actually true…
it would’ve been nice if _the show_ had done the explaining…
Yes I like the series but I'm comfuse of the story
Why explain something that the majority of Fallout fans already know about? I dont think it was necessary…
@@ZombieGangster - because _Fallout_ fans aren’t the only ones watching the show.
@@Sam_T2000 The show was made and targeted towards Fallout fans. We know about the lore because the games explain it to us all the time.
@@ZombieGangster - no studio would ever create a show or movie based upon a video game with the intention of only targeting the game’s fan, and not general audiences.
Those bugs are absolutely the worst. So annoying
The poor animals
Fallout 76 came out 6 years ago?!?!?!?!?!
My fav character is John fallout
"if you really love multiplayer Fallout 76 may
be your bag and if you prefer to play
games that are good you should check out New Vegas"
HAAHHAHA that one is good
You know King John was the bad guy, right?
Lots of mentions of New Vegas stuff in this video. However, the series seems to follow the line and ideas of BGS, not Obsidian or Interplay. I imagine that the person who wrote this video will be very disappointed with the Amazon series. And I like Fallout 76.
A 7 whole minutes on the lore of Fallout?? Yoooo, I KNEW this was gonna be super in depth!! I now understand everything!!
That was a "deep dive?" .... Credibility = 0
Pip-Boys rise up
Bravo!!!!
I don't know man, Martin I never even met... Can anyone please make a official complaint about the non stop banter from pawns about every frikkin grasshopper they see. Gees.. Just stop talking and let me enjoy the game
Why do people hate fallout 3 or 4? they were awesome games!
W Fallout!
The soviets didn't win the space race. The whole point was to put someone on the moon, not just to get to space.
Wow Frightening stuff '' Great Video 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
the TV show has 16 times the detail of the game! 😏
for some reason before the bombs I picture the USSR in fallout as a country that cuts itself of from the rest of the world like Japan before world war I but less racist as they did not really take part in the resource wars and kind of just sat by while it happened and only fired there nukes once the great war began
I liked the show okay at first glance ..but so far other than Walter Coggins I’ve found every character grating and annoying. The only other character I could actually stand spending any time with they cut their ankle and essentially cut them out of the show. Maybe tv shows just aren’t my jam.
The show needs to do a better job of explaining the fallout world. How do you expect the audience to know about what the brotherhood of steel does and that's one of your main characters in the show who is part of the brotherhood of steel.
i’ve never played fallout but thought the concept was cool so wanted to watch the show. while some things i could definitely understand from context, i def felt that there was some stuff i was missing bc i had no prior knowledge.
Tbh the story doesn't make sense. Vault tec is the biggest company the world making lots of money already, why go and destroy the world to sell some vault when it makes way more money to sell to the billions of human in earth.. this part pretty much killed the logic of the show. Also, the TV show is mostly based on fallout 3 and 4... not the OG fallout 1 and 2. For that, I am disappointed.
Well I think that vault tec was working with the enclave in the project safehouse to prepare people to migrate to another planet like earth. The people in the enclave knew nuclear war was going to happen and very few people in vault tec knew it was going to happen so that's why when the war happened. They were preparing with the enclave to leave earth.
The plan was to end the world early and restart civilization how they saw fit so they let everyone experiment in the vaults to see which result would be best to start new life with. So it was about money first then about complete control
I honestly don’t know how people mispronounce things where there’s literally 100’s of examples on how it’s supposed to be said. It’s the “ON-CLAVE”. It seems super lazy on the person doing the video and looks like they didn’t do a lick of research. It’s just one of those small pet peeves of mine that really bug me 😂.
I hate it when people use words without looking up the meaning and pronunciation, it's not that hard to do a quick Google search
Lol "or if you prefer to play games that are good, play New Vegas"
This show blows ami missing something here..I feel like I’m watching 2 totally different shows
fallout 76? New Vegas? HAHAHAAH
As much as I love New Vegas. I don't think that's the one I'd recommend to new players. It's fun. I love the story and quests. But let's be honest. On consoles, or without mods, it is a broken mess that can be frustrating.
I always go with FO4 as a recommendation because it is the most accessible one. Then I go with NV with the promise of a better story, consequences, and characters but at the price of a lot of jank.
Huzzah! A man of quality! lotta fallout fans should take notes from this, and not try to get on each others throats over which game is superior
Fallout 76 is good now
New Vegas was dog water😂😂😂😂
did ai write this... the language is so stiff
you can't explain the lore in 6 minutes!
The Soviet’s absolutely were not the winners of the space race, not sure where the video creator got that idea.
ChatGPT wrote this script.
Remember when Gamespot said Ghostbusters 2016 was worth watching 😂😂😂😂
Ah yes. The classic "Fallout is zany and full of dark humor" ...only, it's not... it's hella bleak, and there are one or two funny moment that break that desolate silence, so of course the insecure among us will gravitate toward "Oh, Fallout is quirky" rather than the truth... "Fallout is dark, bleak, and foreboding."
The games with the highest play counts, sales, etc. are chalk full of dark humor/zany quests, etc.
I think you’re referring like 1/5 of the entire series haha
@@mbbb169 Examples please!
@@super_terram If you honestly need specific examples of dark, tongue in cheek humor in the Fallout series, I have serious doubts that you’ve even played it. OR even worse, you have but everything went over your head.
Yeah it’s post apocalyptic, and features extreme gore, social/political commentary but the entirety of it is embedded with dark humor. I truly don’t know how you could not know that.
You can listen to the creation process of the very first game for yourself. Fallout is definitely bleak and violent and dark but the beauty is that overall it doesn’t take itself too seriously. There’s a very strong tongue-in-cheek humor in every installment of the series. How could you possibly not realize this!?
Specifically starts talking more about humor at 55:24 ish
He literally comments how they were going for a “we’re not taking this very seriously” undertone to things.

Hard cut to footage of Fallout 76 with people in Bunny outfits.
2 started that ball rolling unfortunately with its 50 pop culture references a minute. Thankfully NV had wild wasteland to reduce it a little. 4 feels like when they really leaned into the stupidity
the lore of Fo4 and F76 cause Bethesda retoconned a million things its not even the same lore anymore
Fallout 4 clears new vegas unfortunately 💀💀
Nah I’ll leave new vegas alone I’m playing fallout 4 once the upgrade arrives
Fallout 4 is The Best Fallout and can't wait for Fallout TV Serie i'm so excited! ☢️
incorrect
It’s more of a matter of opinion.
Agreed and its likely they'll put out a show thats full of DEI nonsense to boot 😅
Fallout New Vegas Writing, Factions, RPG mechanics and Plot
Fallout 4 Graphics, Armor/Gun customizations, Settlements mechanics and Map design
Fallout 3 Prologue, Rare encounters, Map Weather and Colour palette
That's the perfect fallout for me...
That fallout series on Amazon is going to bomb harder than the chinese bombed the US in the fallout universe.
Oh God, this person's voice sounds so generic 😭
Some of the things don’t quite sound right, but ultimately none of it matters. Bethesda literally refuses to use design documentation. Devs go with rule of cool, with no damns given about lore accuracy, retcons, consistency, nothing. Bethesda’s Fallout world-building is an objective farce, and I’m certain the show will be as well, since it’s based on the 4 and 76 reboots.
Not much of a lore video.
Yo what are you talking about Russia winning the space race? Is this like your political view or something like what actually are you talking about
