    Yes bottle caps are currency. After the war, the water traders got together and discussed the new world currency. It had to be something more durable than paper, plentiful in the wasteland and not able to be easily reproduced. Nuka Cola was the most popular drink in the world, so the bottle caps were the choice for new money. Caps are backed by water the way the US made the dollar backed by gold, giving caps a real world value

Love the mods can play different everytime, same with Skyrim. For story I love New Vagas, Fallout 4 for building settlements and for battles and collecting Skyrim. This show is amazing, the visuals r so on point, the vaults, the weapons, the music, the freakin' ghouls, from the stimpak's to the pitboys. The dart gun is the syringe rifle it sh00ts a few different type syringes, to paralyze, reduce damage resistance, etc. Pays homage to all Fallouts very well and I love it.

    Goggins as The Ghoul is the GOAT.
    Lucy is also great - Maximus is gonna take a while to get to know.
    Fallout 4, 3 and New Vegas are well worth your time.
    People recommend 1 & 2 as well, but to me they are just too outdated now, even though those hung up on the games lore, love them.
    I can't even imagine watching this show totally from cold, but to me although some people are peed off about some lore stuff, I think they did a fabulous job, and the 2nd season should be
    epic if the makers keep it up.
    Personally, I would suggest reading up a little on the games - at least the bare basics - I think you would enjoy your journey through the TV Show much more.
    Just my 2 cents anyway.
    Keep up the great reactions.

    Caps as currency comes from the original Fallout game (1997). That game takes place in the southwest (like this show). In that game there is a faction called the "Water Merchants." They established bottle caps as currency. You could exchange bottlecaps with them for water, so caps became the currency of the area with water backing it as a valuable resource.
    #OGFalloutPlayer 😉
    "That machine [gun turret] isn't very accurate."
    - Every Fallout 4 player who ever built a settlement
    There would be massive ecological change if there was a large-scale nuclear exchange due to nuclear winter, loss of vegetation, atmospheric pollution from soot, etc. Yeah, I'm a nerd for that stuff, even took a class on it in college.

    The year in the show is 2296 and takes place in the same timeline as the games but is the furthest story line in the time line of events of the Fallout universe.
    Lucy is a vault dweller. A bunch of vaults were constructed before the war to house those financially able enough to purchase a home within them for their family. She's the descendant of the survivors and as vaults go hers is a rather good one and she's an excellent byproduct of underground living as it was intended.
    Maximus is member of the Brotherhood of Steel. The Brotherhood is a surviving group of humans that were once a large military unit and their families from California that survived the war by taking shelter in a reinforced underground military bunker. They're a technology cult that hoard technology because they believe humanity will doom itself to oblivion if allowed to use technology in irresponsible ways that will domino effect to a nuclear war all over again. They once ruled the California wasteland but, fell on hard times after a series of conflicts with the human settlements that were already developing on the surface. They are being supported by that massive airship you see which came from their Eastern chapter on the East coast(the Eastern chapter is explained if you play the games Fallout 3 and 4).
    The Ghoul is...a survivor. Ghouls specifically are humans that survived the war by sheer luck. The radiation of the Fallout of the war didn't kill them but instead made them somewhat immortal but the trade off is explained in this show and if you play, well, practically any of the Fallout games you'll get a deeper explanation of their people meeting a lot of them in the wastelands each game takes place in.
    Also, don't worry about not knowing that much about the games, the franchise, or the lore. This is an original story set in the timeline of that world after all of the games so you're getting a unique look into the world of Fallout and it's told in a way that even non-fans can sort of understand what's going on. It's not going to Mandalorian season 2 you with a bunch of lore details and references you won't understand without context. It's pretty cut and dry...of course, for us in the know there's a lot of issues, debate, and questions but, that's for us to worry and nerd out over.

    So the timeline for Fallout diverged from ours around the '50's, where instead of miniaturizing electronics and developing green technologies, we focused on nuclear tech, creating miniature fusion reactors and huge vacuum tube supercomputers, enhanced cybernetics, and robotic tech. the 1950's aesthetic as of 2077 (when the bombs dropped) was kind of a retro-futuristic sort of fad that was going on at the time, as it is documented in the games that Pretty Hate Machine and other 80's/90's era things did exist, but were out of vogue by this time.
    China was the dominant antagonist superpower to America, not Russia, and constant tensions between the two fuelled a nuclear arms race much like it did in our world, but the paranoid fear of Communism was more pronounced here, sort of like if the Red Scare just became an enduring facet of society instead of just a fading memory when the USSR fell. The European Commonwealth was analogous to the EU, and Canada ended up breaking off from the UK as a commonwealth at some point too.
    About 2052 is when world petroleum reserves began to run out, and oil wells began going dry. The Resource Wars began, with the European Commonwealth invading the Middle East for their oil, but after 8 years their wells dried up too, so the Commonwealth withdrew, and then devolved into infighting and the European Civil War began. Tensions between China and America flared, and the Sino-American war began in 2060. The US had already invaded Mexico for it's oil, and car manufacturers were desperately trying to switch over to fusion tech as gas engines were no longer viable with no fuel. Vault-Tec corporation had been established in 2054 and won the contract for the government project Safehouse, to prepare for a potential nuclear war with China.
    In 2066, China invaded Alaska, and Power Armor units were the mainstays of both fighting forces. By 2076, the US had annexed Canada to bolster its failing economy and began pushing back, launching a counter-invasion of China, and then, just a year later... The Great War happened, the launch of China's nukes after being pressed up against the wall by the US military prompted our own nuclear response, and, well... you know the rest. 200 years later is when the events of most of the Fallout games take place.
    As to the Vaults, they each had their own distinct directives, the only known ones to be connected to each other are the ones in the show: 31, 32, and 33.
    Also, Ghouls are irradiated humans who didn't die, but rather mutated and adapted to the radiation, although their features are 'ghoulified' in the process. This gives them very long extended lifespans, and actually gives them increased strength and regeneration in the presence of radioactive material. They have no noses so they can eat food normies find disgusting (yes they still need to eat and drink), but their status makes them resistant to most drugs so they have to take copious amounts to get the same effect as humans do. Their enhanced physiology that is resistant to damage helps them in this as well.
    Finally, bottlecaps are the currency of the wasteland because the tech to manufacture and paint them is gone, so it's a resource that isn't rare, but also not prolific, and not prone to inflation, so it works very well as a currency.

    i was super suprised to see a adaption with a nice feeling like in the games.
    i hope they can keep this up to this standart for the rest of the episodes too.
    the story is not to bad and it makes sense till now. i only dont like the splitting for each character, but this is just a personal matter.

    I like how the Mrs wasn't even phased by the ultra violence of the gun fighting. So you know she's played Fallout, probably with the Bloody Mess perk. These are all new characters just set at a different time and a different location. Fallout 1,2 and New Vegas take place on the West Coast, which is where we're at. If you played those games you'll know what's going on over here.

  • @homerj806
    @homerj806 25 днів тому

    My only assumption about why the turret missed is because when it fires it jostles around making it unstable which causing the targeting system to be thrown off. That is why there is a sign that said "Please Remain Calm" so that the target would just freeze allowing the turret to kill the target. A quick fix solution. Either that or just to honor the players of the game who never gets killed by the turret no matter how many times they get shot by it.
