Never played the game, but the show is really good. More The Boys than Rings of Power. Just shows what happens when you hire good showrunners, rather than people who have never made a show before.
my biggest issue with it is the 8/40 minute episode format its much to short to really get people into the story especially for people who have never played the games just not enough time to develop the characters or the plot/storyline back 10/15 years ago a good TV series was up to 20 episodes this was way too short they used up 4 of the episodes just on the back story strictly for the people who never played the games this would have benefitted from being a few episodes longer i think it will hurt the show in the long run because for fans of the game its moving at a snails pace if this format keeps up with all the flashbacks to the back stories
I don't know if this was intentional or not, but my favorite easter egg was when Lucy walks up to a wastelander for the first time with her gun pointed at him and consciously has to put it away. It reminded me of how everyone always walks around with their gun out the entire game but you put it away during conversations.
@@adamkinsey2256 No? Player character is only allowed one follower at a time with the exception of "extra/side" followers like ed-e in new vegas. The first 2 games allowed for multiple but Bethesda mostly axed that asides from a few exceptions
For thaddeus I'm gonna say that's FEV, since a healing factor and radiation immunity is a known side effect. I hope we run into super mutant thaddeus in season 2. Could be the funniest thing ever
Agreed, I’m also hoping it is somehow the semi-perfected (other than sterility) og FEV from the Mariposa vats. This way we could see him become the smart kind of super mutant, rather than the meatheads from the east coast.
I think Thaddeus got the Ghoulish perk from fallout 4. Ghoul on the inside but not the outside. Max comments that hes a ghoul and the Doctor says he wont need to worry about rads anymore because Rads heal him now.
Very interesting thought, like myself I think allot of people have forgotten about the Ghoulish perk. It's still going to be fun to see what he turns into.
When Cooper shots the commercial for Vault Tec he says something about how secure those massive lead walls are but when he knocks on them it sounds more like thin sheet metal
What about when Cooper asked these suits really protect against radiation and it takes the vault-tec employees I feel like too long to respond with yes
I laughed out loud when he walked past the Test Subjects door, the idea that anyone watching that in an ad would be "yeah thats ok, Ill be a test subject".
Its been the fanon explanation for awhile now, T-60 is just improved T-45 thus is why the Capital Wasteland has so much. However like the commonly seen vertibirds of Fallout 4/76 and now the tv show being called VB-01 as opposed to the post war Enclave VB-02 there is, so far, no canon backing. Yet.
@@dillydraws As far as I know T-45 didn't appear in Fallout 1, only T-51. I don't think it appeared until Fallout 3 though it was meant to appear in the canceled "Van Buren" Fallout 3.
if that were true, it could possibly mean that The Courier indeed drove the NCR out of the Mojave which left 2 NV endings: Yes Man left in-charge of The Strip and Caesar's Legion ending. Both of which are interesting sub-plots for the next season. If Yes Man still functions, it could provide some more additional and interesting lore about Mr. House and many more esp the ending scene of the series as well as the big meeting.
Wow I can't believe someone finally figured it out and finally said it in a post. I've been thinking about that very problem since I finished the game years ago
Another sign of this is that Helios ONE was what ran power to the strip and with the brotherhood wanting prewar tech it's likely they stripped or took down Helios one
One you might have missed is the movie poster at the top of the stairs in Cooper's house. The movie poster is "A Man and His Dog." This is a reference to the real life movie "A Boy and His Dog," which Josh Sawyer said is one of the direct influences for the games.
I'm so happy they brought back the classic 10mm, it is by far the best design for the weapon. also about the whole Prydwen thing? I think it's pretty clear that either the plans changed, or they just lied to keep the Prydwen reveal a secret until the show dropped.
If I'm not mistaken, you can destroy the Prydwen in Fallout 4. And one of the few rules the TV show had was not to change any of the possible outcomes with the Fallout Games. So by default, this airship had to have a different name. Even if it was a mirror image of the Prydwen. I take the name on the side as a production mistake. The production team were given images of the Prydwen to work with and nobody told them the name of the ship would be different. So they just assumed it was the same ship.
@@superdave8248 Even if that's not the prydwen (which it is), the cleric said that their new orders come from the commonwealth, which wouldn't be the case if the BoS were pushed out of that area. Sorry to burst your bubble, but Todd lied about not confirming any game endings (either that or plans just changed).
@@superdave8248 That won't work anyways. In season 2 we'll probably see more of New Vegas and just seeing the city at this point in the timeline means they'll have to pick which New Vegas ending is canon. I always side with the NCR when I play that game but I'm willing to bet that the cannon ending will be either the Mr. House ending or the Yes Man ending.
13:57 maybe tunnelers have some part to play? Quote from Ulysess: "They'll start emerging throughout the Mojave in time, might be years. Probably less. They breed fast, hunt in groups, more than enough to bring down the strongest in the Mojave. Once they draw blood... Seen them tear apart deathclaws... Deathclaw might get some, but the rest will swarm it, tear it apart, like Denver hounds."
@@RealBradMillerdidn't like Ulysses at all and couldn't understand his urge to destroy, but after watching the tv show and remembering what he saw, I finally get it.
The story for the first season of Fallout perfectly mimics a mainline Fallout game story of you think of Lucy as the player's Vault dweller and Maximus and the Ghoul as companion characters. Not just Lucy gearing up like a player, but her arc becoming harder and more dangerous as she levels up, she even has the traditional Daddy issues. Makes me wonder if any part of it started as an outline for Fallout 5.
I think the biggest detail people missed in the fallout TV show was when Maximus told us when the bombs fell on Shady Sands, and it wasnt 2277. He said the bombs fell 12 years ago, when Lucy asked how long has it been since the bombs fell, she was meaning the ones 200+ years ago but he only thought of the ones that destroyed Shady Sands as those were more defining to him. 12 Years puts it as 2284, making the timeline of the Nuke being after New Vegas. (And right when Todd said it happened) 2277 "The Fall of the NCR" refers to the Battle of Hoover Dam, which was the start of the NCRs demise (or at least Shady Sands) as the war with the Legion took its toll.
@@ncgibrahim3242 In one of the episodes, a one eyed administrator was looking at her paperwork and it listed her name as Goosy, instead of Lucy, or at least he said it did, and he refused to accept her name was Lucy.
_Play long enough, you never change the stakes-the house takes you. Unless when that perfect hand comes along, and you bet big, and then you take the house._
@JuiceHead3 My guess is the Mr. House ending is actually canon. Hank is going to New Vegas to wake up Mr. House. Right after the Battle of Hoover Dam, the NCR in South New Vegas attack the strip, having been betrayed. This explains the breach in the southern wall of New Vegas that's visible in the credits
Doesn't really explain the multiple claw marks on both the walls and securitrons, which could either imply that Deathclaws attacked The Strip as you also see a Deathclaw skull next to the NCR vertibird. There's also the chance that the tunnelers possibly made their way into the Mojave and wreaked havoc upon it.
I know it wouldn't make sense, but I would love a cameo of either Marcus or Fawkes, voiced by their original VA's for a moment. Maybe Lucy gets to Jacobstown for a night stay and converses with Marcus and Lilly before she walks into New Vegas.
Ok, I just thought about this. So if the prydwen came from the east coast all way to the west. Does that mean that canonically, the brotherhood won against the institute on the east coast. Does that mean Liberty Prime is operational and could potentially appear in a future season.
You know the scratched up securitrons are making think to what Ulysses said in Lonesome Road about the Tunnelers. "They'll start emerging throughout the Mojave in time, might be years. Probably less. They breed fast, hunt in groups, more than enough to bring down the strongest in the Mojave. Once they draw blood... Seen them tear apart deathclaws... Deathclaw might get some, but the rest will swarm it, tear it apart, like Denver hounds."
The cryo pods in vegas kind of makes sense, house sealed off parts of Vault 21 with concrete that can be accessed through the tops that Benny uses to escape (I might be misremembering but feel like there were parts he says he couldn't get into), I don't think it's ever explained what was in there other than house sealed it off so in my opinion, 'it just works'.
I found it interesting that the actor that plays the runaway scientist is from the show "person of interest". Though I don't know if it's intentional, the dog that is with him is the same breed and appearance. The dog (Bear) would often appear with his character in POI and protect him. Coincidence or Easter egg? Inside joke with the director?
Do you think the screams on the phone number is Bud having his brain removed and put into the "Brain on a Roomba" container we get in the last episode?
One thing I noticed is how the t45 had a flaw on the stomach and the next suit (t51) has more armor built over it but when he says let’s test that flaw to the bos soldiers they are in t60 which shares a similar design to t45 and has led armor over the stomach than t51
@@ElectricheadPt1 but they probably don’t know about FEV and super mutants though which is why they think and say ghoul but it is more likely super mutant. The brotherhood would have killed him either way so the outcome is the same but yeah I’m pretty sure he is a gonna be a super mutant, hopefully one of the smarter west coast ones.
@@ElectricheadPt1 I think this is one of the unreliable narrator situations. Something that you shouldn't take at face value. Especially since episode 1 we know that Max is not that really knowledgeable. He can't differentiate between a circuits and rotors after all.
This may or may have not already been mentioned, but the first thing I noticed was Cooper's last name being Howard, most likely in relation to Todd Howard, the lead developer in the Fallout franchise.
At 1:30, when he gets hit by the arrow and removes it, he'd technically have to be in combat mode there. I think he took the Mysterious serum which in its purest form can make you immortal.
Verplanck quarry New York is where the submerged building were filmed. I used to go there and my friends and I would jump off the building into the water. When I saw it in the show I was shook. So cool. 😭
Favorite detail is the ghoul showing up to the lead farmers homestead mirroring a similar scene from the good bad and the ugly with Lee van cleef’s character acting like pure evil while casually threatening the family before one tries to shoot him and he dies in the process
Speaking of deathclaws; donforget seeing the skeleton of a death claw at the end :). This show went above and beyond. Also what about the couriers mission to unseal that vault? Or the vault on the strip that was turned into a store? Just food for though. Love your vids keep it up.
Just my thoughts, if you remember what Ulysses said in lonesome road about those creatures the Tunnelers about how they would eventually dig their way to the Mojave, "Tunnelers. Predators that make their own roads beneath the ground here. Divide broke their sky, showed them the world above - and the scent of new prey. Be a slower death for the Mojave than bombs and fire... but they'll come for its people, from where they least expect - below." The quote from Ulysses I think he also said they would most likely come in about 15-20 years at the time of lonesome road. Maybe that’s what happened to new Vegas 🤷♂️ just a thought lol
He said it would happen in only about a year, so it is the most likely option. This also makes me wonder if Courier 6 is the one in cryo, as after killing Benny he would most likely take it over if the house ending is cannon like some others have suggested.
I thought Thaddeus became a ghoul? At least that's what they said. I know it's dumb to say he became a ghoul from a unknown drug, but considering who made the drug this could be a reasonable one off.
@@MournfulTyrant i think it was an experimental chem that turned him into a ghoul While Thed took a serum, which probably, or might be a F76 ref I sell that serum in the game too for 500caps 💀
The drug that thaddeus took wasn't the reference to 76, but instead, it was probably the same drug that Hancock from Fallout 4 took that turned him into ghoul. Hancock explains to the player that before he became a ghoul, he was (and still is) a chem fiend and was always looking for a new way to get high. eventually, he found a drug that gave him a crazy high at the cost of ghoulification. There are differences between what we hear from Hancock and what we see from thaddeus. Like the lack of a high and Hancock assumption that he took the last one, but those can be chocked up to additions/retcons that the show made to ghoul lore, like the fact that ghoul have to take a particular drug to stave off going feral.
The Prydwen arriving pretty much means the FO4 canon ending is the Brotherhood one. Also explains the new infusion of strength to the West Coast Brotherhood.
Brotherhood or Minuteman ending. Only the Institute and Railroad require the destruction of the Prydwyn. It's optional with the Minutemen, if you invade the Institute as early as you can you can end the game with the Brotherhood, Railroad and Minutemen all still active. Though the RR and Brotherhood act like the other is destroyed. In either case, it's clear the Commonwealth Brotherhood is still active, they have an airship and plenty of resources. And enough pull to be issuing orders to the West Coast, which means Maxson is probably in charge.
Also explains how they got the information from the commonwealth. I don't know of anyway west coast and the commonwealth could communicate. Especially since they shut it down in 76
i find it funny how it is said that speech is one of her abilities, but she fails many speech checks, most notably when she tries to talk down Cooper in the first encounter. I felt like she specialized mostly in agility, because of her proficiency with self-defense, and when she was able to sneak a peek at the logs during the Filly fight and luck because Maximus saves her right before Cooper does her in lol so I felt like her build was actually more Agility, Luck, and Intelligence. her endurance was actually pretty good considering she took quite a good amount of damage and torture during her time in the wasteland, so although i felt like she was clumsy, her build wasn't so bad
I really hope that going forward the series passes through past locations from the games, showing the canon choices for them. For example, Harold’s Forest from Fallout 3.
@@voguishthrone5887 I’m operating under the assumption that eventually Lucy, Cooper the Ghoul, and Dogmeat will chase Hank all the way to the East Coast, passing through past Fallout game locations, including Harold’s Forest. Meanwhile Maximus wants to follow Lucy east, but is torn between his duty to the Brotherhood and what is right. I imagine seeing how Cleric Quintus becomes more corrupt with the power the cold fusion reactor provides, literally and figuratively.
@@voguishthrone5887 Indeed, I have this sneaking suspicion that the TV show will give the overall status of the Fallout franchise a new starting point in the lead up to Fallout 5, by establishing what the official canon endings of the games are. I figure we have one or two more seasons of the tv show before Fallout 5 is announced, and maybe another before release. In that time, we could visit every major location in the franchise leading up to wherever 5 is set, which rumor is might be San Francisco or New York. Knowing the present situation of places like Vault City, Arroyo, New Vegas and the surrounding area like Jacobstown, the Capital Wasteland, Vault 101, Megaton, which I personally feel should merge with 101 to form a thriving community called Megavault City, Project Purity, Appalachia and the Commonwealth at the dawn of the 25th century would set the stage for preparing the franchise for a new generation of fans.
I have got one for you that I noticed that nobody seems to be taking about now I can not remember what episode it is on the top of my head but it is when cooper is talking to his wife about the vaults and she goes on to mention witch vault that she wants the 3 of them to and she says that the vaults purpose is to monitor all the other vaults and if you played fallout tactics you would know that is vault 0 and that there little girl will sadly be hooked up to the calculator 😢😢😢😢
Can I just say, I appreciate you getting right to the point and in the meat and potatoes of the video. It was refreshing and kept me engaged. Thank you.
One problem with the shows plot, Shady Sands was not in LA. Having the airship be the Prydwyn would explain the presence of T60 armor on the west cost.
my problem was the lapses in memory. Like, if the Ghoul knew about the weakness in the T60 Armor at the Observatory... He knew about it in Filly when he was fighting Maximus. If they were going to write that he knew something like that, probably would want to keep it consistent.
@@nocheckmarkgames I think the scene where the Ghoul reloading his gun with an armor-piercing rounds meant to explain that he used a different ammo and guns in both situations. When he's fighting the mobs in Filly he was using explosive rounds with his revolver, then switched up to a shotgun when fighting Max because he ran out of ammo for his revolver. Then in the Observatory, he reloads his revolver with a different ammo than the one that he used in Filly. I'm assuming that is the armor-piercing rounds.
They probably moved shady sands to LA because it wouldn’t make much sense for the characters to venture far out into the desert and come across shady sands then still have to trek back to LA
I think the bear is called a Yao Gui (idk how to spell it). But yeah I noticed that too. There are so many easter eggs on the show it's hard to spot them all.
I think it's because the surrounding areas of new Vegas seem wiped out because you can see what looks like maybe Novac at the bottom of the screen but there are no other major landmarks present around NV when Helios 1 should be sticking out like a sore thumb from that angle, but Helios one is nowhere to be found
@@TheVoltDenatsu there is a possible explanation for this. The game obviously couldn't recreate Nevada 1 for 1, so all the locations in the show are further apart from each other than they were in NV.
I appreciate that the game gets a lot of the little details right. And I did like the series, but lore issues aside, as I think about things, there are some serious plot issues. I think the jangling keys of the little things that were done well initially allowed me to not notice the flaws like the Ghoul having a difficult time fighting a T60 power armor at the start, but then later slaughters an entire squad of T60s without breaking a sweat. I'm going to rewatch the series and see how it holds up on the second view.
That's my theory too, the evidence of such a massive battle, deathclaws wouldn't have overwhelmed a whole city with a heavy military presence on their own, without the Enclave organizing them and then supporting them with their own heavy weapons
You’re reaching there. There are only a few Enclave remnants in Vegas. Plus they relocated to the east coast at raven rock then got destroyed. No way they’d go back to the west coast. There are probably only a few small enclave outposts throughout the wastes.
This is also my new theory. It seems like the Enclave used intelligent deathclaws to storm the Strip sometime after the 2nd Battle of Hoover Dam. Hank wouldn't go to Vegas searching for Mr. House as he seemed to be skeptical to Vault-Tec's plan. He's instead looking for Vault Tec and the games confirm the Enclave worked with the company in the lead up of the Great War. This would be a perfect solution to the cannon question of N.V because regardless of player choice, the city falls to the Enclave. Perhaps the House doesn't always win
@@kanival42 With the NCR and Caesar's Legion gone it created a vacuum. Since the lore has now established cryo-pods one can surmise the Enclave had them. We also know they had the technology to control Deathclaws (so did the BOS.)
@@kanival42 The Enclave encompasses much much more than just a couple bases. They could have all kinds of secret facilities in regions like the Rocky Mountains or the Sierras, which the series strongly implied where the Enclave base is located - mountainous, isolated, relatively undamaged, walking distance to LA. The hunt for the scientist was done through bounty hunter agencies, six of them, rather than pursue him and Dogmeat themselves so they're can probably do some attacks here and there but still keep themselves in the shadows.
Amazing video! I love this show so much. fallout really does just keep going. I was so disappointed when I pre-ordered 76 I thought it would kill the franchise but seeing the views go up on old photo videos. Bethesda is surely to see how much interest there still is in this franchise
I said it in another comment in another video. Moldaver is a Synth. She can't be "cryoed" as she's not affiliated with Vault Tec - who holds the techology. If she "ghouled" herself, then there should be physical signs of irradiation, but there's none. So my guess is indeed, she's a synth - and the institute will greatly benefit from her activating the cold fusion reactor. In addition, she doesn't care if the cold fusion tech falls into the brotherhood's hands - as all she needed was to "record" the activation and process of the tech, pass it on through the institute's network, and rest will be replicated by the institute, but of course this is just my theory.
Human-like Synths were not a thing until the year 2278, 101 years after the bombs dropped (Institute lore). It's highly possible that Moldaver was able to replicate Cryopod, or somehow was able to persuade Vault-Tec to allow her a spot in Vault 31 (Possibly how she met the McClane's). The only real plausible explanation is cryogenic sleep.
Her company and science was bought by vault tech so maybe they gave her a spot not knowing she was against them I think she had some work in developing the cold fusion cause she seemed to just want a restart
The institute has already replaced existing humans with synth to suite their plans before (e.g. Palading Danse). It is definitely possible that Maldover has acquired cryo tech to prolong her life, but in 200 years, it is also possible, that she was abducted and replaced after 2278. Anyway, its all speculation, and I'm defnitely curious to how exactly did Maldover last that long.
1:36 no no no. I really dont see them adding Fallout 76 content in this game. I believe he took the FEV virus from Fallout 4. It'll explain his rapid healing abilities and why an instant kill like that neck shot wouldn't have killed him. Especially in fallout 76, no matter what sorta healing mutation you got you can still die. But supermutants can take a crazy amount of damage what we'd consider to be lethal.
Fact 26: Cooper and his friend at the bar mention working with another actor named Jonny Morton on a western. In *FO4's* Creation Club "Captain Cosmos" quest, Johnny Morton was a guest actor on the show who was wounded during the filming of an action scene. 200+ years later, the Sole Survivor finds a feral ghoul in the studio named "Johnny Morton".
Loved how the 10mm pistol used was based on the first game. It was very iconic as it was used by the original Vault Dweller (especially at the ending of F1).
The eventual ending of the season in New Vegas was also somewhat teased at the beginning of the show, when the protagonists walk past a truck and a billboard sign advertising Sunset Sarsaparilla
You missed the poster in episode 6 for the film "A Man and his Dog". This is a call out to the Harlan Ellison story "A boy and his dog" which was filmed in 1975 with Don Johnson in the lead role, and is about a wanderer in a post-holocaust landscape with a telepathic dog companion called Blood whom he casually refers to as "Dogmeat". Also in episode six, the "President" of the "Govermint" is called Sorrel Booker; this is a reference to the actor Sorrell Booke who played the character of Boss Hogg in the Dukes of Hazzard.
you say vault 27 is not cannon because its from the Fallout Bible, but the Sinclair literally says the exact experiment that was used in 27, and the show is cannon , so therefore the vault is also.
@@JuiceHead3 but otherwise why even mention these specific experiments? seems kinda like a waste of dialog to be just some throw away lines. You know what i mean?
Oh No! Juice! Not You too!! Maximus in the fridge is clearly a reference to The Boy In the Fridge, uhhh... Billy? Peabody. Why people keep saying Indiana Jones is borderline slanderous!
I agree, but Billy himself is most likely a reference to Indiana Jones, so it isn't totally incorrect. (Also probably a partial reference to old refrigerators that couldn't be easily opened from the inside, and the old PSAs aimed at kids to not play near old fridges.)
The CX prefix on the dogs is a code used by Amazon logistics. In an interview, Ella says that the vault set is as big as an Amazon warehouse. Hmm… I wonder where they built the set? I wonder if there are more Amazon Easter eggs?
You are talking about the wired interview. They were guessing, they didn't know for sure. Amazon warehouses are 600,000sq/ft or bigger. A vault is 20,000 square feet on average. Why is it whenever I go away from my part of youtube all the people become brain dead and can't read or listen anymore?
Yes it's the Prydwen from the east coast. The leader of the Brotherhood in LA literally says that Clerics from The Commonwealth sent them. Just. Pay. Attention.
If the 33 week 'surprise' is some new FO76 content im flipping my table. I want to see FO1 and FO2 in the current engine. But that might be a little too ambitious.
11:22 I've watched so many videos simular to this, it's so weird that no one references the laser rifle that the soldier is holding, or the laser pistol that maldovar has
I don’t like how he gave creation club the credit for the 10 MM pistol instead of the actual guy who made the original design from a custom mod. Also most of these aren’t something’s we missed, only people who missed these are people who don’t follow the lore closey and are newer to the series & there are in fact many others that are not included here, I feel like he just watched a few Easter egg videos and cherry picked some from each to refrain from a blatant copied video.
This is how you respect the source material, respect the fans, and create a good show that will actually be a hit and make you money. Not a difficult formula.
Fun fact the tv show adding the welding flaw just below the chest section in the T-45 and T-60 actually fixes a lore issue. Earlier games said the T-51b was the best suit of pre-apocalyptic power armor but the addition of the T-60 in Fallout 4 confused the issue. However the fact the welding flaw exists in the T-45 and 60 means that old lore is still canon. The T-60 was specifically stated to have started as an armor upgrade package for the easier to produce T-45 with some minor modifications but was later spun off into its own thing. The T-51 series though was specifically stated to be an entirely new system built from the ground up and its armor was both custom fitted and ceramic and thus wouldn’t be welded or suffer from the flaw.
Can someone explain to me something about cryo pods? In vault 111 one of the doctors says that this is the only vault in USA with that technology, and later you can find in terminal that cryo pods were vault-tec experiment. But in the show vault 31 has a lot of cryo pods and they are working properly. And I can't understand why were cryp pods experiment in 111 but not in 31?
My guess/head canon is that the 111 Cryopods are cheaper, and it was testing the long term effects of those. They are a lot bulkier and seemingly more rudimentary compared to 31’s.
The Doc might have not have had all the information on other Vaults and their experiments. Might have assumed that it was the only Vault with cryo pods as thats what he was told by Vault Tec.
Vault 96 had cryopods in it too. My guess since vault 111 was a experimental vault the actual details of the vault were classified or could have been a different cryogenics experiment altogether.
Just a random thought..... What if season 2 was filmed along side season 1... What if they have all the footage in the can... What if as soon as they finished putting season 1 together , they started on putting season 2 together... What if that 33 weeks is how long we need to wait for season 2... What if..... I'm right.....
They do mention how Maldavere has a very large fortune from the Vault Co buyout. And given Mr. House's reliance on robots, access to unlimited power, a Vault Tech intellectual property, would be essential. I wouldn't be surprised if he offered to cryofreeze anti-Vault Tech actors to "not let Vault Tech be allowed to dictate the future of humanity".
This show is a diamond in the rough for live action media. Im so happy it wasnt a dissapointing show like the others.

Never played the game, but the show is really good. More The Boys than Rings of Power. Just shows what happens when you hire good showrunners, rather than people who have never made a show before.
my biggest issue with it is the 8/40 minute episode format its much to short to really get people into the story especially for people who have never played the games just not enough time to develop the characters or the plot/storyline back 10/15 years ago a good TV series was up to 20 episodes this was way too short they used up 4 of the episodes just on the back story strictly for the people who never played the games this would have benefitted from being a few episodes longer i think it will hurt the show in the long run because for fans of the game its moving at a snails pace if this format keeps up with all the flashbacks to the back stories
I don't know if this was intentional or not, but my favorite easter egg was when Lucy walks up to a wastelander for the first time with her gun pointed at him and consciously has to put it away. It reminded me of how everyone always walks around with their gun out the entire game but you put it away during conversations.
That's the first thing I thought too. It made me laugh and personally I think they were poking fun at videogames in general but definitely fallout.
When the Ghoul takes Goosey away from the lake, the dog CX404, stays behind because you can only have 1 Companion!

@@The-Red-Menace it is to me 😢
My headcanon is that T60 is just refurbished T45 and they called it a new model.
Its been the fanon explanation for awhile now, T-60 is just improved T-45 thus is why the Capital Wasteland has so much. However like the commonly seen vertibirds of Fallout 4/76 and now the tv show being called VB-01 as opposed to the post war Enclave VB-02 there is, so far, no canon backing. Yet.
Would be fitting. As Bethesda made it in the "new" game engine they made by just refurbishing the Gamebryo engine 😜

I just realized that the NCR restarting power in LA is actually important as they lost the Hoover Dam and therefore don’t have electricity anymore

if that were true, it could possibly mean that The Courier indeed drove the NCR out of the Mojave which left 2 NV endings: Yes Man left in-charge of The Strip and Caesar's Legion ending. Both of which are interesting sub-plots for the next season.
If Yes Man still functions, it could provide some more additional and interesting lore about Mr. House and many more esp the ending scene of the series as well as the big meeting.
Wow I can't believe someone finally figured it out and finally said it in a post. I've been thinking about that very problem since I finished the game years ago

One you might have missed is the movie poster at the top of the stairs in Cooper's house. The movie poster is "A Man and His Dog." This is a reference to the real life movie "A Boy and His Dog," which Josh Sawyer said is one of the direct influences for the games.
Don Johnson from Miami Vice eating that girl...yup.
The name "Dogmeat" is directly referenced in that movie too.
I'm so happy they brought back the classic 10mm, it is by far the best design for the weapon.
also about the whole Prydwen thing? I think it's pretty clear that either the plans changed, or they just lied to keep the Prydwen reveal a secret until the show dropped.
If I'm not mistaken, you can destroy the Prydwen in Fallout 4. And one of the few rules the TV show had was not to change any of the possible outcomes with the Fallout Games. So by default, this airship had to have a different name. Even if it was a mirror image of the Prydwen. I take the name on the side as a production mistake. The production team were given images of the Prydwen to work with and nobody told them the name of the ship would be different. So they just assumed it was the same ship.
@@superdave8248 Even if that's not the prydwen (which it is), the cleric said that their new orders come from the commonwealth, which wouldn't be the case if the BoS were pushed out of that area.

@@superdave8248 That won't work anyways. In season 2 we'll probably see more of New Vegas and just seeing the city at this point in the timeline means they'll have to pick which New Vegas ending is canon.

The story for the first season of Fallout perfectly mimics a mainline Fallout game story of you think of Lucy as the player's Vault dweller and Maximus and the Ghoul as companion characters. Not just Lucy gearing up like a player, but her arc becoming harder and more dangerous as she levels up, she even has the traditional Daddy issues. Makes me wonder if any part of it started as an outline for Fallout 5.
I think the biggest detail people missed in the fallout TV show was when Maximus told us when the bombs fell on Shady Sands, and it wasnt 2277. He said the bombs fell 12 years ago, when Lucy asked how long has it been since the bombs fell, she was meaning the ones 200+ years ago but he only thought of the ones that destroyed Shady Sands as those were more defining to him. 12 Years puts it as 2284, making the timeline of the Nuke being after New Vegas. (And right when Todd said it happened)
2277 "The Fall of the NCR" refers to the Battle of Hoover Dam, which was the start of the NCRs demise (or at least Shady Sands) as the war with the Legion took its toll.
Also with Lonesome Road the Courier has the chance to nuke the NCR and/or the Legion. So it could be possible that the bombing was done by Courier 6.

@JuiceHead3 My guess is the Mr. House ending is actually canon. Hank is going to New Vegas to wake up Mr. House.
Right after the Battle of Hoover Dam, the NCR in South New Vegas attack the strip, having been betrayed.
This explains the breach in the southern wall of New Vegas that's visible in the credits
Doesn't really explain the multiple claw marks on both the walls and securitrons, which could either imply that Deathclaws attacked The Strip as you also see a Deathclaw skull next to the NCR vertibird. There's also the chance that the tunnelers possibly made their way into the Mojave and wreaked havoc upon it.

this is a show you have to watch twice...you get a different perspective knowing things
The cryo pods in vegas kind of makes sense, house sealed off parts of Vault 21 with concrete that can be accessed through the tops that Benny uses to escape (I might be misremembering but feel like there were parts he says he couldn't get into), I don't think it's ever explained what was in there other than house sealed it off so in my opinion, 'it just works'.
I found it interesting that the actor that plays the runaway scientist is from the show "person of interest". Though I don't know if it's intentional, the dog that is with him is the same breed and appearance. The dog (Bear) would often appear with his character in POI and protect him. Coincidence or Easter egg? Inside joke with the director?
Do you think the screams on the phone number is Bud having his brain removed and put into the "Brain on a Roomba" container we get in the last episode?
One thing I noticed is how the t45 had a flaw on the stomach and the next suit (t51) has more armor built over it but when he says let’s test that flaw to the bos soldiers they are in t60 which shares a similar design to t45 and has led armor over the stomach than t51

Favorite detail is the ghoul showing up to the lead farmers homestead mirroring a similar scene from the good bad and the ugly with Lee van cleef’s character acting like pure evil while casually threatening the family before one tries to shoot him and he dies in the process
I caught that one! It's one of the few times I've felt like a movie buff lol.
Speaking of deathclaws; donforget seeing the skeleton of a death claw at the end :). This show went above and beyond. Also what about the couriers mission to unseal that vault? Or the vault on the strip that was turned into a store? Just food for though. Love your vids keep it up.
Just my thoughts, if you remember what Ulysses said in lonesome road about those creatures the Tunnelers about how they would eventually dig their way to the Mojave, "Tunnelers. Predators that make their own roads beneath the ground here. Divide broke their sky, showed them the world above - and the scent of new prey. Be a slower death for the Mojave than bombs and fire... but they'll come for its people, from where they least expect - below." The quote from Ulysses I think he also said they would most likely come in about 15-20 years at the time of lonesome road. Maybe that’s what happened to new Vegas 🤷♂️ just a thought lol
He said it would happen in only about a year, so it is the most likely option. This also makes me wonder if Courier 6 is the one in cryo, as after killing Benny he would most likely take it over if the house ending is cannon like some others have suggested.
@@LuminecentKoala maybe, that’s an interesting thought.
The Vault-tec board meeting in the last episode is a huge Easter egg referencing the movie Dr. Strangelove. Which was also about nuclear war.

I like how the first episode was called the end and the last episode was called the beginning
The drug that thaddeus took wasn't the reference to 76, but instead, it was probably the same drug that Hancock from Fallout 4 took that turned him into ghoul. Hancock explains to the player that before he became a ghoul, he was (and still is) a chem fiend and was always looking for a new way to get high. eventually, he found a drug that gave him a crazy high at the cost of ghoulification. There are differences between what we hear from Hancock and what we see from thaddeus. Like the lack of a high and Hancock assumption that he took the last one, but those can be chocked up to additions/retcons that the show made to ghoul lore, like the fact that ghoul have to take a particular drug to stave off going feral.
Yep. Super Duper Mart was the 1st thing I walked into back in 2008. At least it was the most memorable thing I did when I started Fallout 3.
The Prydwen arriving pretty much means the FO4 canon ending is the Brotherhood one. Also explains the new infusion of strength to the West Coast Brotherhood.
Ad Victorian
Brotherhood or Minuteman ending. Only the Institute and Railroad require the destruction of the Prydwyn. It's optional with the Minutemen, if you invade the Institute as early as you can you can end the game with the Brotherhood, Railroad and Minutemen all still active. Though the RR and Brotherhood act like the other is destroyed.
In either case, it's clear the Commonwealth Brotherhood is still active, they have an airship and plenty of resources. And enough pull to be issuing orders to the West Coast, which means Maxson is probably in charge.
Also explains how they got the information from the commonwealth. I don't know of anyway west coast and the commonwealth could communicate. Especially since they shut it down in 76

i find it funny how it is said that speech is one of her abilities, but she fails many speech checks, most notably when she tries to talk down Cooper in the first encounter.

her endurance was actually pretty good considering she took quite a good amount of damage and torture during her time in the wasteland, so although i felt like she was clumsy, her build wasn't so bad

@@voguishthrone5887 Indeed, I have this sneaking suspicion that the TV show will give the overall status of the Fallout franchise a new starting point in the lead up to Fallout 5, by establishing what the official canon endings of the games are. I figure we have one or two more seasons of the tv show before Fallout 5 is announced, and maybe another before release. In that time, we could visit every major location in the franchise leading up to wherever 5 is set, which rumor is might be San Francisco or New York. Knowing the present situation of places like Vault City, Arroyo, New Vegas and the surrounding area like Jacobstown, the Capital Wasteland, Vault 101, Megaton, which I personally feel should merge with 101 to form a thriving community called Megavault City, Project Purity, Appalachia and the Commonwealth at the dawn of the 25th century would set the stage for preparing the franchise for a new generation of fans.
No, everybody saw the key jangling. NOW, a coherent plot? Yeah, I missed seeing that

Fallout Tactics isn't considered canon (even though I'd be fine if it was).
Can I just say, I appreciate you getting right to the point and in the meat and potatoes of the video. It was refreshing and kept me engaged. Thank you.
One problem with the shows plot, Shady Sands was not in LA. Having the airship be the Prydwyn would explain the presence of T60 armor on the west cost.
my problem was the lapses in memory.
Like, if the Ghoul knew about the weakness in the T60 Armor at the Observatory...
He knew about it in Filly when he was fighting Maximus.
If they were going to write that he knew something like that, probably would want to keep it consistent.
@@nocheckmarkgamesthe gun with explosives ammo stuck before that figth with max.
@@nocheckmarkgames I think the scene where the Ghoul reloading his gun with an armor-piercing rounds meant to explain that he used a different ammo and guns in both situations. When he's fighting the mobs in Filly he was using explosive rounds with his revolver, then switched up to a shotgun when fighting Max because he ran out of ammo for his revolver.
Then in the Observatory, he reloads his revolver with a different ammo than the one that he used in Filly. I'm assuming that is the armor-piercing rounds.
They probably moved shady sands to LA because it wouldn’t make much sense for the characters to venture far out into the desert and come across shady sands then still have to trek back to LA
Yeah it wasn't LA in the TV show either...

Love the video . But one thing people keep saying New Vegas looks destroyed. 😂😂😂 when hasn’t it looked like that
It never looked like that
I think it's because the surrounding areas of new Vegas seem wiped out because you can see what looks like maybe Novac at the bottom of the screen but there are no other major landmarks present around NV when Helios 1 should be sticking out like a sore thumb from that angle, but Helios one is nowhere to be found
@@TheVoltDenatsu there is a possible explanation for this. The game obviously couldn't recreate Nevada 1 for 1, so all the locations in the show are further apart from each other than they were in NV.
I appreciate that the game gets a lot of the little details right. And I did like the series, but lore issues aside, as I think about things, there are some serious plot issues. I think the jangling keys of the little things that were done well initially allowed me to not notice the flaws like the Ghoul having a difficult time fighting a T60 power armor at the start, but then later slaughters an entire squad of T60s without breaking a sweat. I'm going to rewatch the series and see how it holds up on the second view.
Maybe the Enclave controlled Deathclaws to infest New Vegas?
That's my theory too, the evidence of such a massive battle, deathclaws wouldn't have overwhelmed a whole city with a heavy military presence on their own, without the Enclave organizing them and then supporting them with their own heavy weapons
You’re reaching there. There are only a few Enclave remnants in Vegas. Plus they relocated to the east coast at raven rock then got destroyed. No way they’d go back to the west coast. There are probably only a few small enclave outposts throughout the wastes.
This is also my new theory. It seems like the Enclave used intelligent deathclaws to storm the Strip sometime after the 2nd Battle of Hoover Dam. Hank wouldn't go to Vegas searching for Mr. House as he seemed to be skeptical to Vault-Tec's plan. He's instead looking for Vault Tec and the games confirm the Enclave worked with the company in the lead up of the Great War. This would be a perfect solution to the cannon question of N.V because regardless of player choice, the city falls to the Enclave. Perhaps the House doesn't always win
@@kanival42 With the NCR and Caesar's Legion gone it created a vacuum. Since the lore has now established cryo-pods one can surmise the Enclave had them. We also know they had the technology to control Deathclaws (so did the BOS.)
@@kanival42 The Enclave encompasses much much more than just a couple bases. They could have all kinds of secret facilities in regions like the Rocky Mountains or the Sierras, which the series strongly implied where the Enclave base is located - mountainous, isolated, relatively undamaged, walking distance to LA. The hunt for the scientist was done through bounty hunter agencies, six of them, rather than pursue him and Dogmeat themselves so they're can probably do some attacks here and there but still keep themselves in the shadows.
Amazing video! I love this show so much. fallout really does just keep going. I was so disappointed when I pre-ordered 76 I thought it would kill the franchise but seeing the views go up on old photo videos. Bethesda is surely to see how much interest there still is in this franchise
I said it in another comment in another video. Moldaver is a Synth. She can't be "cryoed" as she's not affiliated with Vault Tec - who holds the techology. If she "ghouled" herself, then there should be physical signs of irradiation, but there's none. So my guess is indeed, she's a synth - and the institute will greatly benefit from her activating the cold fusion reactor. In addition, she doesn't care if the cold fusion tech falls into the brotherhood's hands - as all she needed was to "record" the activation and process of the tech, pass it on through the institute's network, and rest will be replicated by the institute, but of course this is just my theory.
A GAME THEORY
Human-like Synths were not a thing until the year 2278, 101 years after the bombs dropped (Institute lore). It's highly possible that Moldaver was able to replicate Cryopod, or somehow was able to persuade Vault-Tec to allow her a spot in Vault 31 (Possibly how she met the McClane's). The only real plausible explanation is cryogenic sleep.
Her company and science was bought by vault tech so maybe they gave her a spot not knowing she was against them I think she had some work in developing the cold fusion cause she seemed to just want a restart
The institute has already replaced existing humans with synth to suite their plans before (e.g. Palading Danse). It is definitely possible that Maldover has acquired cryo tech to prolong her life, but in 200 years, it is also possible, that she was abducted and replaced after 2278. Anyway, its all speculation, and I'm defnitely curious to how exactly did Maldover last that long.
That doesn't make any sense... she is also dead.
1:36 no no no. I really dont see them adding Fallout 76 content in this game. I believe he took the FEV virus from Fallout 4. It'll explain his rapid healing abilities and why an instant kill like that neck shot wouldn't have killed him. Especially in fallout 76, no matter what sorta healing mutation you got you can still die. But supermutants can take a crazy amount of damage what we'd consider to be lethal.
Fact 26: Cooper and his friend at the bar mention working with another actor named Jonny Morton on a western.
In *FO4's* Creation Club "Captain Cosmos" quest, Johnny Morton was a guest actor on the show who was wounded during the filming of an action scene.
200+ years later, the Sole Survivor finds a feral ghoul in the studio named "Johnny Morton".
Loved how the 10mm pistol used was based on the first game.
It was very iconic as it was used by the original Vault Dweller (especially at the ending of F1).
The eventual ending of the season in New Vegas was also somewhat teased at the beginning of the show, when the protagonists walk past a truck and a billboard sign advertising Sunset Sarsaparilla
You missed the poster in episode 6 for the film "A Man and his Dog". This is a call out to the Harlan Ellison story "A boy and his dog" which was filmed in 1975 with Don Johnson in the lead role, and is about a wanderer in a post-holocaust landscape with a telepathic dog companion called Blood whom he casually refers to as "Dogmeat". Also in episode six, the "President" of the "Govermint" is called Sorrel Booker; this is a reference to the actor Sorrell Booke who played the character of Boss Hogg in the Dukes of Hazzard.
you say vault 27 is not cannon because its from the Fallout Bible, but the Sinclair literally says the exact experiment that was used in 27, and the show is cannon , so therefore the vault is also.

It’s not healing factor serum. Why would the doctor say he doesn’t have to worry about radiation if it was?
The CX prefix on the dogs is a code used by Amazon logistics.
In an interview, Ella says that the vault set is as big as an Amazon warehouse. Hmm… I wonder where they built the set?
I wonder if there are more Amazon Easter eggs?
You are talking about the wired interview. They were guessing, they didn't know for sure. Amazon warehouses are 600,000sq/ft or bigger. A vault is 20,000 square feet on average. Why is it whenever I go away from my part of youtube all the people become brain dead and can't read or listen anymore?
@@thomgizziz you should go back to your part of UA-cam then. It would do all of us a favor.
0:32 Understanding the material they are handling may indeed make a difference.
I loved this show so much. I am seriously considering watching through it again.
Yes it's the Prydwen from the east coast. The leader of the Brotherhood in LA literally says that Clerics from The Commonwealth sent them. Just. Pay. Attention.
Cheers for that compilation and insight :> I am back casually playing 76 now, having started in 2018 for a few weeks perhaps before uni taking over~
I bet i know what is happening in 33 weeks. This is when the pip boys are supposed to be shipped. I have mine pre-ordered
You will need to provide your own iPhone (that’s what the prop department used for its guts.)
@@dstarling61 No. The pip boys they are selling don't use phones... why are you making up stuff? How big of a liar are you?
@@thomgizzizthey’re saying that because i think there was an old pip boy that was released that required a phone
If the 33 week 'surprise' is some new FO76 content im flipping my table. I want to see FO1 and FO2 in the current engine. But that might be a little too ambitious.
afaik they lost the source code from those games. but they could have remade it 🤷♂️ that'd be pretty ambitious, but not impossible
11:22 I've watched so many videos simular to this, it's so weird that no one references the laser rifle that the soldier is holding, or the laser pistol that maldovar has
I like how no ones talking about the junk jet being used in the show. That was awesome
Had to wait to watch this. I just finished the TV show today. It was hard avoiding spoilers, lol.
You can tell that the people who made this show actually love Fallout.
Just a heads up the 10mm that you thought was a revolver mod for fallout 4 was actually a pistol from fallout 1 and 2 called the colt 6520
I don’t like how he gave creation club the credit for the 10 MM pistol instead of the actual guy who made the original design from a custom mod.
Also most of these aren’t something’s we missed, only people who missed these are people who don’t follow the lore closey and are newer to the series & there are in fact many others that are not included here, I feel like he just watched a few Easter egg videos and cherry picked some from each to refrain from a blatant copied video.
nothing was said about the Junk Jet from FO4 either.
And why most buildings are boarded up. You should be able to break some century's old wood.
Despite at one date anomaly. This show is perfect. I enjoyed it all the way through and cannot wait for more.
This is how you respect the source material, respect the fans, and create a good show that will actually be a hit and make you money. Not a difficult formula.
Fun fact the tv show adding the welding flaw just below the chest section in the T-45 and T-60 actually fixes a lore issue. Earlier games said the T-51b was the best suit of pre-apocalyptic power armor but the addition of the T-60 in Fallout 4 confused the issue. However the fact the welding flaw exists in the T-45 and 60 means that old lore is still canon. The T-60 was specifically stated to have started as an armor upgrade package for the easier to produce T-45 with some minor modifications but was later spun off into its own thing. The T-51 series though was specifically stated to be an entirely new system built from the ground up and its armor was both custom fitted and ceramic and thus wouldn’t be welded or suffer from the flaw.
Can someone explain to me something about cryo pods? In vault 111 one of the doctors says that this is the only vault in USA with that technology, and later you can find in terminal that cryo pods were vault-tec experiment. But in the show vault 31 has a lot of cryo pods and they are working properly. And I can't understand why were cryp pods experiment in 111 but not in 31?
I guess since Vault 31 was classified.
I guess
Vault 111. was for experiments
and vault 31
was for vault-tec employees to survive the bombs
My guess/head canon is that the 111 Cryopods are cheaper, and it was testing the long term effects of those. They are a lot bulkier and seemingly more rudimentary compared to 31’s.
The Doc might have not have had all the information on other Vaults and their experiments. Might have assumed that it was the only Vault with cryo pods as thats what he was told by Vault Tec.
Vault 96 had cryopods in it too. My guess since vault 111 was a experimental vault the actual details of the vault were classified or could have been a different cryogenics experiment altogether.
Just a random thought.....
What if season 2 was filmed along side season 1... What if they have all the footage in the can... What if as soon as they finished putting season 1 together , they started on putting season 2 together... What if that 33 weeks is how long we need to wait for season 2...
What if..... I'm right.....
Here me out: Legion.
They do mention how Maldavere has a very large fortune from the Vault Co buyout. And given Mr. House's reliance on robots, access to unlimited power, a Vault Tech intellectual property, would be essential. I wouldn't be surprised if he offered to cryofreeze anti-Vault Tech actors to "not let Vault Tech be allowed to dictate the future of humanity".
Goosey is my official name for her.
someone needs to get on modding Goosey into Fallout 4.
