#EPISODE 8

They’ve been at war since near the end of f2, tldr they had a falling out over what to do with Navarro and thus began to fight. Of what we know with the ncr brotherhood war shady sands entire gold supply was destroyed and sent the ncr on a downward spiral.
Why were there no Deathclaws in California?
This is correct. Moldaver only used the raiders as pawns. Characterizing the entire NCR as raiders is inaccurate.
It won't be when they film in it
I also loved Vault 4’s punishment system. Simply banishing Lucy back to the surface
I just hope they make this "The fall of shady sands" rather than anything else 
Yes but seems weird to make it look like it’s an Xbox 360 render when it’s for a show lol
Moldaver needed force, and especially seeing what the vault is itself. Would want max and extreme prejudice
There are
But we didn’t see any here by 2296. Only the gulpers
Right which makes sense though now. Like I stated before I just needed a refresher on my memory as to why they ended up fighting.
Just not there at the current point as it didn't really go with the story now in season 2 we may see the Divide
Disagreements on the how of saving humanitys future for the tldr.
Will the Divide still have been nuked though?
The show doesnt show any. Doesnt mean theyre wiped though
I want to see Deathclaws actually be vicious creatures
Likely. FNV is canon so it will be
If they made the fall os Shady Sands/Nuke literally 2087 instead of 2077 everything is fixed.
Well duh, new Vegas is canon and the divide happened way before that by at least a few years
Throwing people around, slicing them with ease, or even crushing a T-60 boy
That’s not what a Deathclaw is tho?
Not really. Everything is still ok in lore if it happened in 2277
In the show
That’s still not what one is really
It doesn’t make sense if shady sands is starting to fall by the events of FNV
It’s AFTER New Vegas
It does actually. It is alluded to multiple times in the game
Ncr was on the decline in new Vegas. Brotherhood war, legion war, first battle of Hoover dam, etc
I think it is implausible we don’t know anything about Shady sands being destroyed in New Vegas.
That’s because it happened later
We also don’t know anything of it not being destroyed
We know that the fall of shady sands lead to a nuke being used against the NCR.
The first battle of Hoover Dam was in 2277.
We dont know if the Fall and the Nuke occur in the same year or if they are the same event
(and the NCR was already falling by NV)
The NCR collapsing at all imo doesnt make sense. The idea that they couldn't have gotten past their issues presented in NV is imo inane. It assumes that all civilizations must fall if they have issues.
Going off of Maximus and Lucy’s age I’d put it around 10 years ago. Which would be what 9 years after new Vegas
That’s literally what I said earlier lol
So far all we have confirmed is shady sands fall ncr still lives on we see that in the ending
I have it being 1 year after NV if we assume that Lucy is 18 currently
It makes sense. Theyve made continuous poor decisions with resources and havent had good tactical leadership in a while
NCR yes is falling by FNV but the nuke likely did not happen by the events of new Vegas. It seems implausible we would not hear about it at all. 2277 being the start of the fall is fine but the nuke prob did not happen in the same year.
Its said they wont live for too long if they lose Vegas.
Even House states in New Vegas that if he wins he could keep the NCR on life-support using them as cash cows and giving them enough not to fall
I haven’t fully rewatched the episodes but I skimmed a bunch of them trying to find any direct mention to ages or dates but no luck
I think even if they win Vegas they also get screwed over
Even if the nuke did happen, it still makes sense given previous lore
It didn’t, the Chart implies it happened later just at an unknown date
Not entirely, they need Vegas resources to sustain themselves and keep expanding against the Legion.
Vegas has food farms, fresh water and mineral resources they could use, also factories.
They lack of water and food to sustain
Need the wiki people to start typing up each episode one by one so we can search
Lol im about to volunteer
The NCR was still in the strip when Vegas was destroyed. There are MP troop helmets next to the corpses
I understand what NV says. Im simply saying that i find it to be inane. The idea that the NCR couldnt have solved their issues when they should be the only faction capable of doing so leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Sauce
Ok well what does “Fall” mean in this case ? Seems weird to place a year for something that wasn’t as dramatic until it was nuked
They were the worst faction IRC.
Hopefully the Strip is fine
irc?
It was the start of the flight against the legion. If was that start of ncr being stretched to thin. I'd say that's fitting
I loved the concept of the NCR, but their leadership never got better, so it makes sense that the faction never got better
The first battle of hoover damn
Guess whatever the Courier and pals did in the Mojave was all for nothing, I guess.
ncr is a fun faction but they’ve also been a weird one
Look at the corpse on the right, NCR MP helmet
My theory is 2277 the NCR is in a decline, them calling it a “Fall” is like how Historians indicate the fall of the Roman Empire. The nuke happens after the events of New Vegas. Not sure why it’s not cleared up but this is prob what they meant
well courier did canonically bounce
keeps it ambiguous and more fun
Lets us craft our own theories
Giving a full written timeline removes questions and theories
Its similar and it says NCR; didnt notice tho.
Yet there's a hole in the wall and a dead deathclaw... That's sussy.
Maybe it’s a dumb question but are the credit scenes even canon lmao
That's exactly how it has to be for nv to be cannon but nooo everyone has to think an entire game has to be retconned for their hate boner for todd
Given how they allude to the settings of the next episode, yes
they’re like concept slides I’d argue no until we see it later
Todd personally fought Tim Cain in hand to hand combat over the ruins of Shady Sands
Why would he go to New Vegas if it was barren anyways
To find House
Mr.house
To find hoes ?
No. Robert House
Mr House ending is prob canon
It depends how the writers handle the canonicity.
Which is common for live actions to fuck up the timeline
Why does he want Mr House, he didn’t seem convinced by the vault Tec meeting
True, isn't the Courier supposed to be at Big MT keeping an eye on the facility? If New Vegas strikes out for Hank somehow, Big MT's probably his next best bet.
He was the most tactically sound of all the factions.
Everyone that knew House, knew he could survive by himself
Even the Enclave tried to buy him in.
Guy's also a rat bastard that needs to get brained by a golf club. Frankly, even that's too good for that twisted SOB.
Dude was a literal genius
They knew there would be an army of nerds going over this. I think how I and @small linden have Said the events are them taking decent steps around it
Look at Halo TV show.
Not saying they did, but if they dont unfuck this. It could
Look how they massacred my boy 😭
Master Chief sex scenes so random
I mean the director did say he didn't want to appease the fans of the series since it's pointless
Fallout still holding on a tiny rope between being destroyed by itself or surviving
Its either Mr. House ending or Independent Vegas right?
I think for the most part he did it’s incredibly lore accurate for the most part and has so many details
Yep, NCR is discarded as most likely and Legion aswell
Yeah
Did Mr.house keep NCR troopers in the strip after the victory?
Id say either Mr House or NCR. Independent is extremely unlikely unless the courier is a fucking superwiz
There's chaos in the streets with that vertibird so its possible
House is also the one featured most prominently with the vaults itself
Fair point. An independent ending would lead to chaos unless the courier is smarter than mr house
Nope! He sent every ncr citizen that wasn’t a gambler gone
If we go by House's victory, they get expelled
So it's most likely a NCR ending
They could still pull the rug with the tunnelers. and NCR returning to die in the strip
And forced the ncr to pay for water/electricity per the kilowatt hour
Plus, who knows if House had some failsafe to disable the Securitrons after he died?
I think it’s an NCR victory that ended up screwing them over more as it hurt them more economically etc etc
Wouldnt put it past him, given how paranoid he is
He does have one sorta. Tldr I think a 40 miler radius shutdown
Securitrons got wrecked by something
NCR wins, Securitrons go poof, Shady Sands gets nuked, NCR pulls out, bye-bye Vegas. Or, Courier wins, Securitrons go poof, Shady Sands gets nuked, mass anarchy and chaos, bye-bye Vegas.
It looks like the securitrons were fighting something
problem is that this is talking about the artistic end credits which we don’t know if they’re canon or just conceptual
It doesn’t make sense why New Vegas looks like shit if Mr House is still alive, so he might be dead. But then why does Hank go to New Vegas ?
If so do we take every one of them as such.
Claw marks
Yeah, you'd think he'd know if House is dead; guy had his obit printed and ready to go if he died, after all.
I'm kinda iffy everytime they show a city with smoke trails hinting civilization and most of the times (tv shows and movies) every fucking one is dead and the white smoke is just because the city is destroyed
Cuz if he cant access House, he may be able to learn of where the other CEOs are and if they’re alive
Vegas is gone, look at how bad the buildings are in the ending
that would lead him to Big MT next
And even if House is dead, who's to say he didn't have contingencies for that; guy brain-scanned his starlet GF's, why not brain-scan himself as a backup solution?
Or, he could be going there because he knows House will have had resources that he can possibly snag to help him
Could also be an Elijah ending, because it looks like the cloud is there
Well if they were dead it would be gone right.
Maybe NCR wins, they start to get weakened, then they try to take down Mr House, so it backfired massively. This makes the most sense hence why we see NCR and Securitrons dead in the streets
That’s just how Vegas looks tbf. Espeidally without the power being sent from helios
I just got the feeling that the city is dead
Good luck defeating lobotomites, corrupted Securitrons, and one PO'ed and brain-damaged delivery person. Some schlubby Vault-Tec exec ain't breaking in there without mercenary assistance, and I mean top-shelf merc assistance.
Won’t know till the next game or season 2
There's no visible bullet holes on the securitrons, but plenty of claw marks
Wait wait wait wait.
Is that a car or a securitron?
Securitron
securitron
All of these freakouts bring me back to the Jet Prewar days
New Vegas getting offscreened by Tunnelers just would feel.... cheap. Like, yes, it was mentioned as a possibility by Ulysses, but come the hell on, why would a crazy fatalistic dude be taken seriously as gospel?
There's also destroyed securitrons on the road outside of the wall, I'm assuming it might've been some sort of defense perimeter
I mean it was in the end slides
plus if they really want Ulysses nuke both canon
True, though that almost feels too easy. When in doubt, just fire nukes, they're the easiest reset button possible.
They've been used to kill a villain or open a path to the villain since 1
It's kind of classic at this point
Actually the original reset button was far more elaborate and convoluted
Fukin Van Buren
It's the same entrance from FNV
Yep
Looks desolated as hell. No lights no nothin.
They knew how to make a fan tear up with that final shot
Yep yeah watch the end credits cinematics you concealed it destroyed robots in an NCR helicopter
There's smoke trails which means there's people there
Or they got all murdered
Yep watch end credit cinematic you’ll know why
I watched the end credits but that didn't even cross my mind
RIP NCR 😿
So, this is an unfortunate turn of events for my favorite faction, but imo this was a brilliant show

And may Hank and Vault-Tec eternally burn in hell alongside House.
I mean, at the end of the day Shady Sands is just one city
Probably a raider camp or something similar to it if we assume that everyone in it before were either killed or left.
I can't believe I was actually right about Vault-Tec
No doubt that's gonna piss a lot of people off lol
Just the other day I was talking about what Vault-Tec would do if not for the bombs. And it's clear: they would ensure they fell
are there end credits?
Eh, it'll just make Vault-Tec's final destruction all the more sweet.
Each episodes and credits has like a zooming out cinematic of the episode theme
It's always been alluded to in the games idk why people would be mad
This thing
Would've been cool if we could see one of the faces still activated, so we know if it was a mark 1 or 2
Imo keep it a mystery till next game/season
Lucy is such a real character lmao
The smoke is coming from the wallen-in sections of the city
So we have an attack on titan moment for NV. Maybe there could still be people inside.
Would be funny if the only person left alive in New Vegas is Yes Man, still waiting patiently outside the Tops after all this time.
Yeah, I personally like this theory and I've been believing it for a while, but I recall when I first brought it up people did not like that and preferred that it was China
No longer a theory though, but confirmed fact
"oH mY gOd bEtHeSdA rEmOvEd nCr" i guess the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th states just DONT EXIST THEN RIGHT?
Although it sounds like Vault-tec just started it, I believe there's still overwhelming evidence that China did launch bombs
As of now, no
could be propaganda. there was a multi company cartel and news organizations could be apart of it
In which case, when the time comes to finally put an end to Vault-Tec, perhaps the Shi could come along? What better way to end that company than for both the heirs of America and China alike to strike down the bastards who tricked their forefathers into ending the world?
Yeah, I want to hold out hope that the whole rest of the nation might not be completely collapsed
They did, we literally go to a Chinese submarine that launched bombs in 4
Yeah that's the main piece of evidence I'm thinking of
Y’all think Lucy has like 0 caps to her name?
So that leads back to the big question - does the bomb in Megaton have the vault-tec logo?
exactly, a declining ncr would arouse independence for the shi. assuming the chosen one sided with them, they could be the next rival to the brotherhood, as they can produce better power armor and better vertibirds
maybe if they ever remaster fo3, which i hope not
… okay so I’ll assume yes that Lucy is a broke bitch
duhhh
She has 0 caps to her name
well, she might have some caps. after all, she and maximus killed 2 fiends
“I’d offer you one of these cherry tomatoes, but you have a hole in your neck.”
Well Yesnt. It was on the table but not exactly confirmed they did it
We need cherry tomatoes now goddammit. Bethesda add the cool foods from the show to the games 
god goggins was the perfect person to cast as ghoul
basically a plan E to ensure everything works
“The Wasteland has its own Golden Rule, thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit all the goddamn time.”
Yassss, i wanna see in game food in the show too. the igauna bits and mongrel meat was nice, but i want MOREEEE
True enough, given how often we all get sidetracked in our playthroughs by random shinies.
What was the actual quote? I forgor because that quote is the definition of the 3D games
"son? what son? the only son i know is my 20 maxed out settlements that make ncr look like a shit shack"
I think Lucy did more side quests than her main quest
So the BOS has infinite energy now. I wonder whats gonna come about that.
Institute but worse
infinite laser rifle recharging station is prob the best they can do. unless plot luck makes then find a super death ray or something
Her new main quest
“Father, Forgive Me”
• Track your Dad across the United States and eliminate him at all costs. After all, you have nothing left to lose.
wait.
wait a minute
ARCHIMEDES
Im a big fan of the BOS but it just feels odd sidelining the NCR just so that the BOS could be at the forefront of the show. Gives me 40k vibes where 90% of the material is based around Space Marines, while everything else in the setting fights for the last 10%.
Potentially.
I want to see Lucy take some Med-X and Psycho and be temporarily unstoppable as she ranks a few gunshots and stab wounds until combat is over and she starts to complain about the pain
ncr won. They powered the city itself clean energy
I don’t think the brotherhood can remove it without fear of destruction
I think Med-X would give her a temporary 400 damage resistance whilst the Psycho would give her a 999% increase to all damage
cool, but at the end of the day its who controlled the cold fusion
It seems like the BOS are being set up to be the big bads of the series 🤔
For once, they need to not be the good guys since they’re morally questionable
cold fusion has like infinite power. the lights that it powers is an infinitesmall poriton of the power it can generate
Thats what I wondered as well, but Moldaver talking to Max about the BoS using it kind of makes me feel like the BoS is going to have it lol.
i hope to god in season 2 we get to see northern ncr attempt to retake the cold fusion. hopefully we get to see the shi, idk, like sell ncr t51b/vb02 vertibirds
Yea hope we get to see some NCR cities. Even the brief flashback with the cable car was really nice.
well we only have 2-3 confirmed cities? Arroyo, Vault City, and Potentially new reno
So cold fusion is a hypothetical thing in reality
and the hub
Trying to achieve the fusion reaction at room temperature instead of immense heat and pressure like in stars
fits right in into fallout
Yeah it does unsurprisingly
If they achieved nuclear fission or made the fusion core as a tiny nuclear fusion generator, cold fusion works well
Imagine if power armor was powered by cold fusion instead of the fusion core. It would last forever
I kinda for some reason hope Appalachia or the Capital Wasteland get referenced. They already referenced the Commonwealth right?
Yeah but imagine if it gets damaged
tbh, the bos in the show barely has any scribes
Well that’s sorta how fusion tech works. It’s unlimited energy for a short time until it dies out entirely
The commonwealth does, they mention the BOS chapter there
yeah, im surprised fo4 railraod fans arent more pissed that the "fascist" bos still live on
But this is a different west coast chapter, distinct from the Mojave and original BoS tribes
yup, one that follows maxson command
Also canonically accurate power armor for durability and how deadly it is
They deal like 500 unarmed damage and can instantly cripple heads
i wish they made it so it could have a little bit more defense
it reminds me less of a tank and more of a humvee
Armor gets compromised after a few successive hits usually
Titus dying because of Max refusing to heal him felt a bit needed. Titus was a bitch
Bro tells Max to be brave and runs from a damn Yao Guai in power armor
tbh he got man handled by that yao guai
Wait. Muldaver is pre war so did she get put into the vault cryo pods?
I think she’s post war
shes pre war? idts
Would explain vault 22 getting out and then knowing
She is, she's the lady in black at the church
her company was bought by vault tec
but shes from vault 33, not 31 tho
Shes the same person Mr. Ghoul met
Vault Tec did nothing wrong
Proceeds to make the only hope of their country into the worst inhumane experiments and the remainder who didn't were used as experiments were tasked to seize the nuclear arsenal from the Us Goverment, by force
I like how they referenced vault 106, I think it was the west tek guy
Also do you guys think Tim Cain and Brian Fargo were happy to see how far Fallout had come since 97?
they referenced a lot of vaults
Several successful games and a TV show with a second season in pre production?
vault 75 was clearly mentioned
It was kind of chilling hearing them already start selling out citizens
how do Stimpaks work? They don’t heal wounds, but they slow bleeding or stop it
Probably a mix of adrenaline and coagulation agents
Explains how Dogmeat got up after Ghoul stabbed her
She was such a good girl and best girl even 
" stimulation delivery package, is a type of hand-held medication used for boosting the body's own regenerative properties"
so like i guess it makes hte body produce more STEM cells or something like that
I think they knew if she died, we would have rioted and gave the show a 0/10. So I’m glad they let Dogmeat live
Makes the user impervious to small arms weapons, but can be damaged by more hard hitting things. I remember seeing a reddit post and basically the user was saying that an AK would do real damage against someone in PA.
I would doubt an akm would penetrate the armor, modern level 4 plates can stop multiple rounds.
I want them to make limited time cars based on what we saw in the show and sell them for 2077 prices like $30,000
if the old fallout producers like current falout, then so should the fans
Give us an RPD for fallout 76, or have the regular assault rifle benefit from stabilized aswell
I really enjoyed the show, it scratched that Fallout itch ive been having for a long time
we have rpk in 76
Yeah but the RPD rocks a hard vibe
Max destroys Vault 4 and Lucy tells him it’s okay
“Oops”
Steals their fusion core and is angy to give up the power armor, returns the fusion core and abandons the T-60
agreed, but what would the rpd do that teh mg34 not do
bruh why cant he just run away in the power armor like is he stupid
I think the power armor being effectively worthless without a fusion core should have been implemented in 4 and 76. Like if you have no cores, it kicks you out
It's a vibe
He could not use the power armor without a fusion core. It was effectively “dead” without it
ok so why didnt he just run away with the fusion core, /s
fusion cores are plentiful, fallout 4 taught me tat!
That’s what happens to NPC’s when you shoot their fusion core in 4, they get kicked out and abandon the power armor
This is a show, not a game. It treats it like reality to an extent, rare stuff like that are not common
/s
c’mere
ok but that emoji combination is godly

I kinda wish the 10mm looked like its 76 variant with the longer barrel, but the 4 variant worked well
Also the Colt 6520 being a revolver can put me at ease. The magazine is there for show
Maybe it has a cylinder with 10 rounds? Or the magazine feeds the cylinder? Idk. The thing rotates at least
Also the 6520 killing the Yao Guai with a single bullet, Max must have had Better Crits, a crit charged up, maxed out his gunslinger perks, and used every damage boosting item available
ok but the imfdb database on the fo4 assault rifle is super funny "The fictional "Assault Rifle" from Fallout 4 is used by Brotherhood of Steel knights. It is a machine gun with a receiver that slightly resembles one from the MAS AA-52, the cooling jacket of a Lewis Gun (albeit with features from water-cooled jackets), and an oversized M249 handguard. In Episode 2, a Brotherhood knight tries fending off an attacking "Yao Guai" (the name given to mutated black bears) with one of these "Assault" MGs, but this causes the mutated bear to bite off the gun's receiver, ending its shameful existence."

It’s then used to shoot the Gulper and decimate much of the ncr infantry
It WORKS WELL FOR POWER ARMOR OKAY? IT LOOKS GOOFY ON NORMAL PEOPLE
tbf that assault rifle takes inspiration from
- ww1 machine gun
- cold war machine gun
- modern day machine gun
idk how thats possible
Fallout tech
The plasma pistol made a cameo
It’s in the background of episode 2
To the best of my knowledge PA durability is stated to withstand over 2500 joules of kinetic energy. So yea its gonna tank a 7.62 but a .308 is going to do considerable damage to it.
Such as a Colt Ak
Yet it tanked shot from a shotgun, a bear claw scratch, small arms, and even laser blasts
Just looked up the joules from a a .50 BMG, and yea PA is going to do nothing to protect Knights from Veteran Rangers.
Even during the last scenes, ghoulie's pistol wrecks 4 PA dudes
Well because it had a design flaw in the torso
He shot below its chest piece and hit them in the center of mass, killing the PA boys
Yea it was a weakspot in the armor, it also looked like he was using a different type of ammo maybe armor piercing.
thats a major design flaw. if body armor doesnt protect center of mass, its failed its job.
Yeah that’s what Ghoul mentioned when he wore the T-45 at Anchorage. It had a similar issue
I think even prewar the T-60 had that exact same issue with not protecting the center of mass
but t45 is rushed version. t-60 is full version. i refuse to believe that the BOS---who came from US soldiers---didnt fix the flaw in the t-60 in 200 years
They probably didn’t know about it since they’re tech freaks and assume they’re unkillable in the T-60 like 76 PVPers who spam Stimpaks and Nuka-Quantum
theyre us soldeirs, not civvies. if goggins knew about the flaws, so would the soldiers
But skill issue for the PA dudes, they should have used Overeater’s on their PA for damage reduction 
At least they made clear when T60 dropped, post battle of anchorage
Hell, Ghoul probably had anti-armor on his revolver
Everything that’s not t45 is after anchorage
goggins really is taking an L by not using a bloodied build.
Real. He’s a Ghoul and doesn’t have enough rads to run bloodied, smh
Lucy is probably doing a Beserker’s build since she wore no armor
maximus is that freshie who still thinks the PA is god even if its not legendary
I think everybody has Bloody Mess as an active perk
Because a lot of people die in gory ways or lose limbs similarly
its like required in all builds so obviously everyone would use it
Also L. Lucy is level 10 and she somehow managed to survive 3 weeks without armor, smh
No? T51 was at anchorage, late into it
t-51 was not at anchorage, only t45
That was just a simulation for Fallout 3
the anchorage campaign has been widely debunked as american propaganda
They probably didn’t have enough time to even deploy the T-51b in reality. It was only the T-45 that was there and even then, it didn’t make much of a difference
"The T-51 series of Power Armor was the pinnacle of mechanized protection before the Great War. First introduced in the Battle of Anchorage, it is highly valued today for its increased protective capabilities.
”
— Fallout 4 Loading Screen
Yeah that’s propaganda
first introduced =/= used in battle
Ah yes, the loading screens are just straight up lies
Bro how tf does west tek push out models so fast
Fallout loved to over exaggerate Anchorage. Hell, even Cooper himself said it’s only the T-45 at Anchorage when he served
Military money
Idk man, idk
I swear lore makers have no idea what development time is lmao
They did not have time to push out the T-51b by the time Anchorage got reclaimed
No, he didn't explicitly say that
He said he used t45 and it was defective
So did they didint fight in anchorage
So I was right that t51 was after anchorage
yes
They pushed t51b near the end of the anchorage conflict
And so was T-60. Both made it out after Anchorage
No, unless the loading screen is a straight up lie
But T-45 was rushed and didn’t help much during the Anchorage conflict
again, first introduced =/= first time used in battle
Exactly
He also proposed a question on whether or not they fixed it on the newer models. He wouldnt have asked that if he had experience with them.
T-60 is a cheaper more easily mass produced PA compared to the t51. Not as good but more readily available and better than the t-45
I think T-51b may have been introduced right AFTER Anchorage was reclaimed
It’s easier to repair too
It was one of the best PA’s prewar, but it was too expensive to make
It’s the best
But holy shit was it ugly
That's also not true, X01 is the best prewar
i dont like that they just pulled a "t60 has massive defect because it inherited it from t45 despite the BOS likely knowing this problem and having 200 years to fix it"
thats just lazy writing imo
This is a series coming from a company that breaks canon whenever they release a new Elder Scrolls game, I wouldnt think too much about when the T-51 was introduced.
That is a pre war design, but it’s not available pre war
Yea, agreed
Work on the x01 barely just started before the Great War
Even in the Whitespring bunker it says X-01 is a prototype power armor
and i wish goggins was instead a regular grunt rather than another Power Armor user
He’s the ghoul
The x01 was not anywhere close to operational
Isn’t that why Advanced Power Armor was made to build upon the X-01?
idk if this was mentioned before, but like, what if the show moves through all the locations from one end of the US to the other? So like, the show ends in DC?
thats lazy and how would they achieve this?
Idk how hellcat PA exists tho
Cosmetic for 76, not canon
marine corp custom 1 of 1 Power armor
Oh fuck I thought of Hellfire
Leave my Fallout 3 lore alone!!!
what if the BoS didn't know about it because it's def something that the manufacturer would've kept secret so it might not be common knowledge as it was back before the war
hellfire is canon too, its in fo3
I meant the skin in 76
goggins knows of the defect because of the war. nate would know too and since a pro-BOS ending is confirmed for fo4 nate would have 100% told the BOS
ntm the BOS literally comes from US soldiers
I was talking the PA from the mercenaries
I don't see that happening, many supporting characters are tied up in vaults and with the west coast bos
...how is a pro-BOS ending confirmed for Fo4? That blimp isn't the Prydwen
It’s the Caswennan
theyre receiving orders from the commonwealth , so yeah the BOS is confirmed to have survived fo4
A sister ship
Do you know that commonwealth is a generic term?
Built by the same east coast bos
Is the Caswennan the main base since it has to move with the Vertibirds across California?
theres only 1 commonwealth in all of fallout
No, there are 13 commonwealths
tf are you on
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, not the 13 Commonwealths
Well multiple things can be happening at once..... Cuz the vaults are self contained. But given how the episode ended I dont think it stays in the west coast. Cuz I have a feeling that the enclave is where the unfrozen guy is going. So it only makes sense to me that it goes that way
Which is not explicitly referenced, again in Fallout each major region is a commonwealth
are you ok, this isnt pre war america this is 2296, which only have 1 commonwealth
But for Fallout 4 players, they do mean the Commonwealth itself since none of the Commonwealth regions are remembered
No, that's a major assumption
Nobody remembers the names of the Commonwealtjs by 2296
They only know of “one” Commonwealth and that’s the region in Massachusetts
im sure people remember pennsylvania
im not sure what youre using but you would be in the 0.001% of the fanbase to assume that the commonwealth used in the show is the 13 commonwealths of pre war united states which was last used 219 years ago
but borders mean nothing
if the BOS expanded to all 13 commonwealths, then that just proves that the BOS won Fo4
Given the fact that fallout 4 exists they would not refer to the commonwealth as the 13 commonwealths as it would confuse the audience. Its highly likely they’re referring to Boston
At this point you can’t even deny it
Yeah most of the non Fallout audience wouldn’t know about the 13 Commonwealths, they would likely learn about the Boston Commonwealth
holy cow the BOS conquered all of the US!!!!!
What I'm saying is that they are referencing the South West Commonwealth
Not fair
The 13 Commonwealths are basically nonexistent at this point since each Wasteland is referred to by its region like the New California Wasteland, Mojave, Capital Wasteland, and Boston Commonwealth
Why tf would they do that
zero why tf would the BOS use archaic pre war terms
No way they are referencing the sw commonwealth
There is no way in hell you still believe it. Do you know how many viewers have never played the games and the first thing they search would be the Boston Commonwealth?
Give me one reason Bethesda would do that. One logical reason
Bethesda would reference their own creations, aka Boston Commonwealth. Jesus Christ this is worse than arguing with a NV fanboy
It’s just arguing in bad faith at this point
Not gonna lie I thought that one bounty hunter was Preston Garvey lol. African american man with the same hat I literally yelled out 'wth thats Preston Garvey" lol.
I want the Junk Jet to return in season 2
Bruh
isnt the junk jet in season 1?
Let Lucy kill somebody with a teddy bear at high velocities 
Yes. But I want it to return again since the only kill it had was so fucking ridiculous I loved it. Death by a doll
Junk jet is so economical and environmentally friendly
It’s the epitome of recycling
I wonder what Lucy title is gonna be. She's a Fallout protag so she needs one.
The Dipshit
The dipshit
Stupid one
The Dipshit
Nah that’s Maximus
Also Ghoul had such a weird way of sleeping
The big baby bitch
Bro buried himself in a coffin for a few years while having RadAway put in his body
holy fuck those bastards dropped the bombs
Lucy: the Down Bad Woman
What exactly is keeping the ghoul going at this point tho
The real question is what's Lucy and Maximus ship name?
He’s 250 something, idk why he even still lives. Maybe it’s him wanting answers for his family
welcome to the fallout show, here are our protagonists
- Lucy "De Dipshit" MacClean
- Maximus "Stupidity in Persona"
- Cooper "Sunburnt" Howard
The love of the game
Lucimus
Why was Vault 32 cleaned so quickly so some 33ers would move into it?
Honestly that’s vault tec. They do the most pointless experiments just for the sake of it
I loved when Barb said the line
“War, war never changes.”
no clue. Likely has happened before
We can say mr.house and Sinclair are complacent in Vault Tec's crimes
entirely possible they took a bunch of people out of 31 to rush the job
And then returned to eepy time?
I mean theyre all aware of whats at stake and what's happening so not totally unrealistic
The fact that his wife is vault tec makes this accurate observation hilarious
Why did a vault 32 guy kill himself by shoving a fork into a toaster
Vault 31 residents are so eepy, they have been eepy for 219 years :3
He learned from the best
vault 32 ym?
we see on the screen of 32 the rats being forced to kill each other for their place in the room
Yeah typed the wrong number
Also unrealistic, Lucy didn’t loot every item she found 
the implications of the blood paintings are that 32 found out about vault 31 and what they are and people went nuts
i think v32 residents going insane is still a mystery
She isn’t a true Wastelander
She’s not a hoarder. She’s more disciplined than us
fake player
Cheater
yeah but normal people reaction to finding that out isnt massacreing ur entire vault
But her carry weight is like 40 pounds so yeah. She has the bare essentials. One food, one water, one gun, 5 bullets, and some armor
you say this like living in a vault is normal people
Her carry weight is 40/40. Anymore and she would be overencumbered
Meanwhile bos knights don’t need no carry weight. They have literal squires carrying everything for them
the fact that she didnt grab the fan is a blasphemy to the screw shortage in f76
Yeah that’s a cardinal sin
Yeah their carry weight is like 100/1200
imagine youre living in a vault you grew up to think was for the greater good of populating the world and it turns out the vault sending you overseers is full of people in cryo sleep that blew up the world and are experimenting on you
but she gave a purified water to a wastelander so its definitely 39/40
I loved how the same raiders in the beginning get absolutely destroyed at the end
I’m more impressed by the squire like damn they got the perks junk rat
She gained 1 karma at least
bros carrying an entire stash box
They have Rifleman, Pack Rat, Bandolier, and Ordinance Express
Oh and Traveling Pharmacy+Thru Hiker I guess
The ghoul is just min maxed to hell with a vats build
Any more behind why that one squire turned into a ghoul?
He took the healing factor serum
no he just has a rifleman crit build
Bro cheated an item with mods all the way from Appalachia
he shouldve gone with bloodied tho smh
Nah he got that deadeye power from red dead. That’s vats alright
Real. He’s a full HP rifleman
I mean you get the serum from the enclave in 76
Maximus is just a failure of a PA build
But how did the salesman have serums?
maximus is the freshie who doesnt have a build since he still thinks that non legendary PA is still god like
he had a lot of weird stuff
Where’s his heavy gun? He should go for a heavy gunner build
What build is Lucy? A “yes” build? Also her Sneak is like 15 since her shoe squeaked
I liked that one scene where they swarm the PA soldier and unload a tommy gun into his neck
Just finished watching the show, NV gone that's wild
yao guai bug insta broke it
should be patched next season
I think Lucy’s Speech isn’t 100 yet. She has like 67 Speech
Also I don’t see any chem users
The raiders were
those inhalers were chems
The guy with the grenade was brutal
They brought back Jet like wtf man they didn’t have Jet in 76 
Cuz you can’t slow time in an online game
I feel like you guys are being to hard on Lucy and Maximus. They just booted up the game and are still searching for a build that speaks to thier playstyles
i was so confused with that fight like what happened to airsupport
SAM missiles
which are easily dodgable
The NCR cheated. They used up their budget on turrets
Also the ghoul got that cannibal perk?
Not enough budget for making tall walls to avoid getting attacked
bro they really invested a multi game crossover budget on rust sam sites
Are you still going to risk limited vertibirds? When your ground troops are doing a good enough job?
I do like that the show explore more about the great game mentioned in lookout
Lucy probably has the lead belly perk at level 1, rookie mistake
idk man based on that battle scene those troops couldve really used air support
I like how that guy did some drugs and became a mutant lol
Also Thaddeus forgot to pick Adamantium Skeleton, it’s his fault his foot was crippled
It was an absolute melee brawl, air support would've caused way more friendly casualties
I wish I could see energy weapons like the Gatling plasma or plasma caster tho. I wanna see enemies get gooified
miniguns are 5.56, which PA protects
we saw a plasma pistol in episode 2 but it was never used
They had guns shaped like laser pistols but they seemed to fire bullets
Bro, most of the soldiers were not in PA, you don't fire on your own troops at all
5mm not 5.56
that guy who was swarmed by ncr coulve used the mingun
5mm is smaller than 5.56, so yeah point still stands
Yeah was just correcting the right ammunition
They should've used their +20 strength check to rip off the minigun like in 4
Yeah let's save one replaceable power armor and solider by risking a vertibirds which cannot be manufactured
but PA limits ur strength to +12 tho
All the PA dudes at 20 base strength because their PA had some shitty 1* and 2* with +1 STR as the 3*
I think Lucy should’ve went for cola nut judging by how much nuka cola is in the wasteland
bro those vertibirds were getting shot down anways at least they couldve had some use
Do you have any tactical knowledge?
yes but we're doing gameplay jokes
You fly the vertibirds into the building
nah not funny enough
vertibirds need to fly into the ground like in fo4
I think if they brought Preston Garvey to the west he could help the settlements
she had a mercy kill
@small linden No memes.
Glad the NCR is gone though, organized raiders
Not a meme- it’s a photo of my dad.
A feral ghoul who is barely alive
No photos of your dad, or shitposting
yeah she had to be put down
Hank literally nuked his wife so he could get custody of his kids
1984 i can’t lie
Hank needed the flux bro
Comply 
I love Dane why are all the incels so upset
Nah he’s just ultra petty
Dane was great in their short time we saw
because they're non-binary? that's why people disliked them?
Who’s non-binary and who is Dane
Putting a razor in your boots is crazy ngl
at least we have our third non-binary character following Orlando and Burke 
I doubt the post apocalypse wastelanders would care
It seemed a bit implausible tbh
I stand with the Enclave and the NCR
NCR being wiped out is a good thing.
So what’s your sperm count
Just got word from Todd that Maximus is defecting from the BOS and joining up with the NCR in season 2
bro was sterile probably and Lucy ain't getting preggo
Untrue he’s my dad and said he’s actually joining the legion
Lucy can be really naive but that brief exchange of smile with Roger was really somethin. I really liked it.
poor Roger though, man was on the verge of turning
also felt bad for Martha since she turned after being released
so dhskas, team wendy helmets, Ops-Core FAST Gunsight Mandible, and Trijicon MGRS® sight exist lol
Dawg look at my NCR 😭😭😭 we losing the dam
I would drop the show if happens. No faction I hate more than the Legion
dawg thats a better fit than 99.99% of mojave troops
I dont mind them looking like this since they're remnants.
too bad he gets sniped like 5 seconds later
Yea I mean it looks sick but they got wiped lmao
wait Dane is the 4th known non-binary character?
who's the third since Burke and Orlando were the first two?
Codsworth cameo was sick and so was the lore for Vault boy
Maybe I gotta rewatch the series because I do not remember that image above. Granted I went to sleep at like 4 in the morning after I binged all 8 episodes lol
? Hé is based on Howard
well that's all about it we know of him from the show. we don't know anything else about him
the mini nuke exists
so do the various Pip-Boy models such as 3000 MK IV, 2000 MK VI, and what else the 3000 from 3/NV?
rpd boy was wearing an airsoft mask lol
How powerful would vault 76 dwellers be in the tv show
they wipe the floor with every factions innards its not even close
Wbt the other protags of other games
considering they're mutated to shit and highly irradiated
Bloodied fixer builds will destroy everything
I think Lucy is just the outlier out of all the protags. She just happens to be weaker
they should make a non-canon episode of the 76 dwellers being ghouls and killing everything while jumping high asf, shooting fast, healing from wounds, and being high as fuck from their chems
Like the sole survivor for example took out a deathclaw on their first day probably
tommy gun from 1920s with pasgt helmet from 1990s very nice
Eating corpses, nuking places, building things
even Cooper would be like "now what in the fuck are these ghouls if they're killing everything faster than I can?"
There's a modern combat helmet on one NCR, like something they'd be wearing in Afghanistan post 2010s
Would they be ghouls tho?
most 76ers are highly irradiated
so maybe? (and its intentional as well since they have magical bloodied guns and Unyielding armor that makes them damn near unkillable)
Well if it’s not a bloodied build then no
my boy in PA dual wielding las pistols
But I guarantee every one of them will have the weirdest outfits
alright I'm typing up discussions in my effort to clarify timelines lol
If it’s 9 years after fallout 4 then I’m guessing the sole survivor is still alive
when are we getting a Protectron?
What are they doing? Being general of the minutemen?
we saw a Mister Handy, dead Assaultron, saw a brain on a Roomba (basically a lesser Robobrain). oh and no Sentry Bot
Well imagine having Lucy fight a sentry bot. Won’t go well
she can outrun a Protectron
i hate the whole power armor weld defect plot hole
also when the hell have Mister Handy's been larger than a human since Snip Snap was massive asf?
feels weird seeing Fallout in its normal graphics and live action
already got used to live action Fallout show which are CGI and practical effects I forgor what video game Fallout looks like
Video game fallout is more disappointing than the show.
the show is so good I forget what gameplay is like 
Honestly yeah the show kind of is ruining the games for me lmao for seeing how cool stuff looks realistically
Now I need a creepy realism fo5
FUCK. Why did they have to go so hard on the prop design? 😭
Fallout 5 better have these graphics or else I’m rioting. Waiting until 2030s for this
The outfits at Filly were fricken awesome. We need some sort of custom armour designer in fallout 5.
Do you know what the word nothing means?
I would sell my entire body of organs to go to a nuka world esque place
We absolutely learned the origins of Vault Boy, that is not nothing
Dont let Snip Snip hear that.
Eventually fallout 5 will take longer than gta 6 to come out
same Dolce, same 
matt berry can have whatever he wants to bring me to nuka world
nuka world pre war or post war
But I thought more, not just how his thumbs up came from Cooper
Please don't let them further decide Fo4 canon
hmm tough decision
Got to be post war nuka world. The raiders really add to it.
Definitely not biased.
Seeing vault 4s experiments makes me realize how horrifying it would be to see other game vaults irl
they will most likely decide a fo4 canon when 5 is released. 1, 2, and 3, all have canon decisions (TV show will likely canonize the NV ending in season 2)
post war without the threat of dying
Like I can’t imagine seeing vault 87s experiments in a tv show
Do we even know 5 is on the east coast?
We know absolutely nothing about 5
Big assumption there yeah
I'd bet a decent amount that it'll take place there, since when 5 comes out the previous fallout project would have been west coast
The scene where the bos are walking through the NCR HQ in a line of 3 mowing down everyone was probably the coolest thing I've seen in awhile
sucks the games will never look that cool 
Got to give credit to the NCR bannerman, charging them with his flag.
They made the armors look so good
goddammit now I want somebody to make a mod for 4 based on the show but with some more interactivity
They need to make the vaults bigger
So much in the show just looked infinitely cooler than in game
but the mod gives us three characters to play as, either Maximus, the Ghoul, or Lucy
FUCKING THIS
Everything looks so much better than Creation Engine's graphics for very obvious reasons
we need her tank top/armor as an outfit in 76 please please please please
which is very funny considering it came out literally 24 hours ago 
I mean id bet actual money that 5 will have a vault 33 jumpsuit in it
I like how they teased the death claw and super mutants
The price of binging the show is that we now have no more show to watch right now.
oh yeah that reminds me
UGH its going to be so hard playing the games since we have to play them and be the protag instead of watching someone else do it
is there a picture of kimball on the altar?
We never even found out why the fuck she was worshipped.
Or why she was called th flame mother.
idk why that episode was labeled as "sexual content" there was no sex at all besides the first episode
yeah whats the background of flame mother
it has boobs
What's up with the cult anyways tho in ncr
that should have counted as just nudity
they're all sort of insane, and think worshipping the people that died in shady sands will bring back the NCR
was that episode 5? where max is talking about his junk exploding
6
I think it was episode 6, The Trap
It doesn't come across as insane. More like... honouring the dead.
I'm already mixing them up
I mean they were drinking blood
I swear it happens to other guys not me
6 was the best episode imo besides the final scenes in 8 with the battle
Cooper eats butt jerky, he aint insane.
this scene was the funniest
I wish we can take off our Pip-Boy like Lucy can
Well game vs reality.
There was so many jokes like that that caught me off guard lol
also wish the HUD for the T-60 had the compass in the middle, it had the HP, armor status, fusion core charge, and AP
Folks complain about file size already so imagine trying to make a fallout title with CGI level graphics
what cryo science shit did you do, girl
the incest joke in ep 2 took me completely off guard
The jokes fit well in the games
Be cool if the power armor helmets face plate opens up in fo5
I'm going through my screenshots now dont mind me
I wonder if she took something like what Thaddeus did
How did you take screen shots?
I hope her name stays as Dogmeat
Didnt you watch the episode?
if you remove uh graphic acceleration on google chrome you can screenshot prime
because CX404 isn't cute enough and she is already best girl
When’s season 2
right now
no clue. its not even in pre-production yet 
so was vault 4 attempting to interbreed humans with wasteland creatures or something?
That was funny, they put in effort not to call them dogmeat in all the promotional material, then clearly caved.
No one is gonna remember the dogs proper name anyway.
hope you all liked that cameo of fallout nerds they did
Yeah....still really confused
Pretty sure Maldover or whatever her name is is from Vault 31 and that's how she knows Lucy's dad, cuz they both went into cryo
This is gonna make a lot of money there’s no way they don’t plan for a second season
pretty sure season 2 is greenlighted already
aslo they're draining our wallets
That scene was more or less Fallout; The IT crowd.
I was embarrassed and ashamed
And using that money for elder scrolls
Peak incoming
What?
It's awesome that we got the ghouls outfit in 76, I hope they add lucys armored vault suit too and some other cool things like maybe weapon skins, or even just add the ghouls jet propelled revolver
Is it free or are they selling it for atoms
I mean do they really need the money for elder scrolls? Todd's sold skyrim enough times at this point he doesnt need the money
whats new nuka
We even got a new ally from the bos carrying that thing
It's free and you can get an ally for free that's like the Bos squire with the big back pack
New-Nuka? idk
Fallout 1st
New coke reference
I think its the new bottles....or new coke
True it's "free" if you own f1st
That's scummy
oh the rocket bottle?
this closeup of his face freaked me the fuck out
Does anyone here actually own Fallout 1st?
welp, season 2 is gonna cannonize the new vegas ending, thats just fucking wild
I do
oh that was painful with them ripping each other's fingies
I'm sorry to hear that.
12 dollars is too high for a show skin
so, what are the 3 protagonists SPECIAL stats
its 50% off until May something?
Yeah and I am ashamed of it
so its $6.99 til May 9th
Scene made me hate the ghoul for a bit. Then he killed those "lawmen" and then I liked him again
he shot one in the butt
god he was a mixed bag but I love him regardless
Gonna have to check shelter for that
No way that was the real main NCR HQ right
I mean even still shady sands wasn't all of NCR it was just the capital, there's still the boneyard, hub and San Francisco
dude if shady sands was that advanced, there is no way the rest of the ncr is just kaput
this was a silly screen
Why
although you cant seem to see camp mcarren in the new vegas shot..
If I had to guess most of the NCR at this point is in the Hub
Yea, but also
Max is probably 8, 4, 10, 1, 2, 6, 4.
Lucy: 4, 6, 5, 7, 9, 4, 8
Cooper: 6, 10, 10, 1, 5, 10, 10.
NV is destroyed so like what happened there, there's NCR vertibirds on the ground and securitrons
agility is too high and charisma is too low
she failed the rizz check
For one one blob?
for cooper
Also, who says nv is destroyed? We cant see it up close.
Cooper was firing shots like its no ones buisness, and even if he was charismatic once, he sure as shit aint now.
I think the funniest scene in this show actually for me was when maximus is going on his first mission with Titus and Titus is just like "SET US DOWN IM BORED I WANNA SHOOT SOMETHING" and they just happen to end up near the target
What probably happened is once Shady Sands got nuked, NCR remnants attacked NV (Indepednent ending, but the courier blew up the fort securitrons), and they lost, but the city was destroyed as a result, there's still communities around NV in that final shot, but the city itself might be inhospitable at this point like Dust
He didn't deserve to be killed by Maximus, the little shit though.
ncr vertibird right outside of the lucky 38
wait the Strip is inhospitable?
I think it's funny that it's Michael Rapaport
from the looks of it, yeah its a ghost town
i hope freeside is still around
damn, so maybe House is dead?
We'll see. I dont think its deserted. Unless the tunnelers got there. But whats the chances of Ulysses ever being right?
he wouldn't be running the Strip if the Lucky 38 is dead
im gonna assume the courier capping him is cannon
They wouldn't of bothered giving him an actor then teasing new vegas if House was dead.
eh 50/50, would be funny if one of the protags finds his body with the mark of a tire iron on his head next season tho
they made new vegas so much more bigger than the one in game
console limitations
the Strip would have been much larger if 360 and PS3 didn't have weak limitations
well all the games are downsized compared to their real life counterparts
damn the Tops as well
else it would take actual real life days to traverse the whole map (like Daggerfall)
Those were good days.
new vegas is lacking its overpasses
the strip north gate
The colour scheme is giving me Fallout dust ptsd.
somebody forced their way in
overpasses may be more spread out since the ending would have actual, true to scale NV
It would be cruel to tease new vegas, and then give us a ghost town. They've killed Shady Sands, surely they wound'nt kill Vegas?
Tunnelers may have escaped the Divide
well theres communities around NV, the whole region isn't a ghost town, just downtown
Ulysses has literally been wrong about everything else.
If tunnelers have spread, America is fucked.
imagine he shows up next season
Hoping the Boomers get to showcase their Bomber next season
also, what are we speculating hank/henry is looking for in vegas
its defo not tunnelers, because theres a gate breach
House's tech and/or Big MT
mr house. hes a major figure in the whole vault tec scheme
was
... Are we going to find out why House sealed off parts of 21?
The lore is different now cuz it says shady sands got nuked in 2277 so before LR can even happen, plus it was vault tec somehow
he isn't alive if the Strip has been compromised
If the strip has been compromised the 38 could still hold.
Imagine an entire episode next season is just Ulysses lecturing the protagonists on the bear and the bull for a full straight hour
production error, it should've been 2287 or something? but 2277 was when things when down
again, the fall of shady sands =/= shady sands nuked
I don't like how theyre making vault tec the trigger for the war
He might have knowledge of the Divide and the nukes it has as well, and being a Vault Tec rep, he will do anything to get civilizations decimated
Nah not the bear and the bull. The 33 and the 32.
yeah, it really is a continuity error
"damnit you fuckers this is the third time im telling you, youre even more stubborn than the last guy who was here"
Wdym
"I cant have my own kids? okay bye wife"
nukes Shady Sands
yeah but like, it seems weird that they would make it so that shady sands has "fallen" before the events of NV, theres no reference to the place being in bad condition in NV if memory serves
"I nuked shady sands cause Karen took the kids."
Ya that's so dumb lol
So are people gonna review bomb this show now?
wasn't the reason he nuked them was because he wanted to restart civilization on his own terms, and didn't want the NCR beating him to it?
They really nuked shady sands over a divorce smh
wait
so courier 6 was following ulysses trail thru sierra madre, big mt, and the divide
what if the fallout show protags are following courier sixes trail when trying to find the company execs
after watching the show, I wish the guns could instant kill
I aint, you?
bloody mess
Im gonna make a review but not do that
fnv fanboys will. they dont touch grass
Nah, Courier 6 is just another cog in the machinery
so far it doesn't look like its happened yet, lowest rated episode currently is episode 3
we need to see radscorpions and mole rats
ouch
Realistic looking centaurs.
Did you guys notice they had both types of 10mm pistols, they got the fo4 shaped ones and the classic design
Its true though the existence of grass in the franchise ruins it for many
The gulper lore drop was nasty
probably for the west only?
Yeah for some reason that bothers me more than the NCR
how tf did they create the gulper
Gulpers have existed in the east coast without anything from Vault 4
I like my mutant animals the way they are thank you very much
the meeting in episode 8 has: vault tec, west tek, repconn, big mt, sierra madre, and rob co
aside from vault tec and west tek, the other 4 can all be found in Fallout: New Vegas
Tbf they look way different on the east, like over grown salamanders
that specific gulper is different from the Far Harbor ones
i do think the way shady sands went out is kinda dumb, but the show suprisingly showed a decent ammount of love to the west coast lore
The ranger armor cameo was noice
that caught me off guard yeah
Also big mt
They are clearly referencing NV while at the same time changing some things about it imo
I WANT TO SEE THE SHI
i was kinda upset when i was halfway through ep 8 and nobody had made any sort reference to vegas, but that ending really got me stoked
NV seems to be the game they've referenced the most so far, and 2 the least
so like, its either house or independent ending right?
most likely yeah
wonder if we will get any nv character cameos
we technically already have since House and Sinclair appeared in the last episdoe
ig i mean like, arcade or the king or something]
was Sinclair always fat then?
I believe it was independent ending cuz of the chaos
The independent without Securitrons from the Fort?
That's assuming these endings are even relevant
Might change up what happened with NV too
i mean, they sorta cannonized the ending of 4
Highest clerics of the Commonwealth sent the airship right
i would be suprised if they went in another direction besides a cannon ending
did they? Iirc they don't really make reference to 4 at all
in the first or second ep one of the BOS dudes says something about high clerics of the commonwealth giving them either order or supplies or something
if that's the case 4's ending would be narrowed down to 2 possibilties. Although I thought Todd told the team not to canonize an ending for 4 yet
i would assume that means they won and set up a permenant spot there, because the BOS force we see in fallout 4 was like strictly a military force or whatever
what other ending could it be? i didnt play as much of 4 and i thought the BOS wouldnt tolerate any other faction
Minuteman ending but without the BoS being destroyed (which is possible)
true but the way these live action BOS dudes talk about ruling/protecting the wasteland, i dont see a peacefull cohabitation
but ye thats just speculation
I don't think the BoS gives a shit about the Minuteman so long as they wouldn't interfere with synth hunting
also wtf was a brotherhood knight doing at ground zero of shady sands seemingly minutes after the blast to meet young maximus
Also these bos guys wiped out filly
Lost hills isn't that far from Shady Sands, they prolly saw the nuke go off and went to check it out
fair
for some reason I feel the show somehow took away my motivation or will to play any of the Fallout games
like I had to force myself on 76 for the daily challenges for score and turn in my treasury notes
Same
And I was just getting back into 4
Between this and the update, I'm no longer so interested
maybe the next gen update on the 25th might be enough
I'm not interested in getting 50-100 hours into Fo4 before the update breaks all my mods
there's always NV, but even then I don't have any motivation to finish Lonesome Road and do the battle of hoover dam
Somehow I feel like that was the point
maybe in honor of season 2 taking place in the Mojave, I should finish my run
It didn’t.
Shady Sands and the republic started going downhill then it was nuked later.
Oh I see what you mean actually
I thought it was implying that's when it got nuked cuz there's no date on the mushroom cloud
This is also retroactive, so fall can be interpreted in more than a few ways
I’m truly convinced the lack of an actual date was rage bait to get people talking lol
I mean Todd knows marketing
theres no reference to shady sands being in a bad state in new vegas
shady sands fell heavily when the brotherhood destroyed the gold supply and crippled the ncrs wellbeing
I feel we are all going to interpret the NCR in ever a variety of ways now
He also knows a third of Bethesda fans pretend to hate it
I mean Nolan brother worked on it, kinda their trademark
I interpret it as the NCR are still a powerhouse but their capital moved to the Hub
Ncr brotherhood war, GI blues states that shady sands is no longer the capital of the ncr, Brahmin barons taking power, and the famine
Plus the first battle of Hoover dam, and the second upcoming, tandis death etc
I think Fallout 5 will be NCR focused anyway due to the lack of NCR forces in the TV show
I doubt it
The sign in the show seems to agree with this. It says "First Capital of the New California Republic" which would seem to imply they moved capitals for some reason.
I don't think they'd require watching the show to play the next game
Why are there not a massive ammount of forces in the first season
and then maybe 2280s after the second battle of Hoover Dam, Shady Sands got nuked?
Idk ask Todd. I just think they'll keep a distinction of coasts
The NCR are iconic and give the series iconic iconography
A lot of things do, it's a versatile franchise
The reason why they are not there maybe to do with bethesda removing them and having it for Fallout 5
how can the NCR/shady sands "fall" when we see in lucys flashback that it was pretty much a paradise as a far as the wasteland goes? thats what i dont understand
Rangers have a big screen presence
divided, same reason we don’t see full ncr in Vegas
I mean compare it to the fall of rome
same way the republic of rome or Germany Fell to Hitlers reign
It can appear ideal but there's a lot of factors inside the ncr harming it. Like the aforementioned brahmin barons
Who were trying to form an oligarchy within the ncr and were killing people to do it
okay but what we were seeing was still a happy functional community though
nothing about that looked "fallen"
^
You missed the point. Aesthetic Observations don't include all factors or facets of a society. Especially from a single perspective
The NCR still exist most likley and they probably have a functional society in different major towns and cities
there was infastructure, and working public transportation, it was the most functional city above ground, i just dont see the word fall being apropriate for it idk
Fall can mean a lot of things in the context of a society tbf
like regardless if there was corruption that was a functional city seemingly
yeah
post series depression hitting hard
The NCR don't have nuclear defnece technology so thats why it was so drastic
Idk the NCRs main issue is it became increasingly dysfunctional as it expanded. And it expanded due to demands from it's politicians causing a loop
Wonder where the nuke came from tho
Imagine it being like Hiroshima, very modern city but then gets obliterated
i also think that, if shady sands was that advanced then theres no way its other 4 states are that bad off
its Vault Tec, they had hidden silos I'd imagine
Vault city is probably fine
unless hank also nuked those offscreen
He probs dosn't know about them
New Reno may of joined the NCR also so include that
im still a little blown away with how advanced shady sands was
they were even printing new fancy signage
I mean they had laser walls in fo2
public libraries
Lmao, I saw Goodsprings! 
i couldnt really see camp mcarren in that last show of vegas
it could be the angle though, that we are viewing it from the north
Well the city itself is different than in game, looks more like the concept art tbh
yeah i couldnt really make out the shapes of the other casinos
I saw signage for the Tops
The outskirts look great, but yeah it's hard to tell inside.
i hope we just get some mystieous stranger in one next season
Clean this.
throws the crotch piece
Imagine that tho lol
I wish Lucy at least did a few random quests for caps, but nah she is still broke at 0 caps to her name
The crotch piece hazing ritual is funny
Her main quest is over now, time for side quests
nuh uh
Oh wait ya her dad is still alive
she installed the DLC's mid game. Its like Broken Steel
turns out part of the show was filmed in Nambia, fun fact
very subtitle, yeah.
And Dane at the end, I kept trying to remember if a Synth can
||bleed|| ! 🩸
"Father, Why Have You Forsaken Me?"
- Follow your Dad and kill him at any cost.
||No, the NCR as a whole is framed as having collapsed||
we're on EP 8 chat
I don't think it has but more of that chapter of the NCR have
I think its okay to say anything about all 8 episodes in this one
God, I hate what this show has done to Fallout canon
You can go minute with bos + rail
