#EPISODE 8
1 messages · Page 15 of 1
I feel like his story is pretty much done with the present stuff though. The only thing left is the flashback stuff which sucks cause flashback Hank is so weird lol
I think the NCR has many of the same problems as the modern US, by which I mean it's a fundamentally good idea with a good constitution that is consistently corrupted and perverted by democratically elected* leaders who abuse the power entrusted to them for malicious reasons
*With some exceptions
Weird in what way? Genuinely, I didn't think he was weird
The Brahmin Barons say the NCR isn't evil
the Deaged CGI Hank worked for the inital reveal but the fact they were then stuck with it is just eh
Which tracks given it emulates the idealized Prewar US lol
Is a system a fundamentally good idea if it consistently allows and empowers individuals who are allowed to subvert and twist it
This is inherent to democracies of any kind
not the character, the face. The deaged cgi face which sticks out like a sore thumb because everyone else around him is just playing the young versions of their characters or recast in Betty's case.
Maybe says something about democracies me thinks
Fallout should maybe focus on that, that’d be interesting…
Also I like pointing out NCR Ls cause BoS haters will excuse them for the same noise smh
Yes let's have a democracy when 90% of the citizen base is post apocalyptic raiders
I get why they did the deaging, it makes the reveal in Season 1 more impactful but then we just got stuck with it and it's just weird, i'd much rather they just had a different actor play young Hank if he was sticking around then do a deaging effect that sticks out like a sore thumb in a show full of practical effects and normal actors lol
Gotta treat my faves equal
Deaged Hank looked fine
I actually think it looks decent ngl
The Institute is the only way ahead
I love ai deaged hank
to me it looks weird when he's standing next to normal Stephanie and Goggins
It's much better this season
Yeah the season 1 moment was jarring in comparison
Last season it was really bad
It is funny how fundamentally critical of American democracy and America’s mode of capitalism Fallout is, to the point it contributes significantly to the worlds fall pre war and its continued ills after, but we don’t really get a serious critique of these systems in the games. Closest to that is NV, but it’s not really anything more than half hearted.
Deaged Hank was pretty okay considering it's a TV show
especially Stephanie, it's honestly really just those moments, when he's actively next to a character we know from the present who isn't de-aged
They did say s2 whould have even better effects etc hopefully s3 will get even better ones
Why didn't Hank just ride the Shai-Hulud to New Vegas
which makes sense
This is kind of my biggest problem with the show even though I love it. I really don't like the implication that the Great War was planned or engineered by any kind of secret cabal because it takes away from the Great War being an inevitable consequence of American greed and warmongering



I alsojust find it jarring compared to the practical effects
the entire fanbase went like caprio pointing at the screen on that scene
Yeah I’m not a fan of the Illuminati plot either
Pansy deathclaws btw
awesome
My entire friend group was like "IS THAT THE COURIER?!?!?!" and I muted the group chat
I want the wearable ranger helmet on the Bethesda merch shop so bad...but it's $160
I also want the functional, wearable pipboy but that's $300
THEY'RE GOUGING US!
Now we're talking
eh, that one don't got the red eyes
i prefer the red eyes
Oh the cgi is so funny though 😭😭
it is but it's jarring
$1100 for Lucy #fallout_tv message 
When that NCR ranger took out the Deathclaw, after Thaddeus said 'it wasn't me' and the theme song started playing, was anyone else thinking "Courier 6!?!??!"
I know Vault Dude is probably saving up for that shit
Nah, not personally, thought it was pretty clear they weren’t bringing any of the protagonists into the show (thankfully)
Was cool to see an NCR ranger though
T'was a California Ranger with Big Iron on his hip
I dunno why people would think courier 6 since in NV intro its a random ranger shooting some raider lol
People think the guy on the cover is the protagonist, but for Fallout that's incorrect
Because people are obsessed with trying to inject the Courier into anything and everything in the show, not realizing that they'll never be mentioned.
I had an inkling it wasn't teh Courier as soon as the armor and scene recollection really sank in, but before I saw who it was and the music started playing I thought so.
This, too. lol
Yeah. i'm not convinced it's their main base either, I'm pretty sure it's just a connection to it via the train that runs deeper into the mountains.
the effects are really cool
Well enclave have many locations
there's a small chance the train isn't relevant. The train is part of the terminal and I don't think it can be moved lol
I'm actually pretty confused about this intro, why is an NCR Ranger defending Vegas from Raiders? He's standing behind a Neon Sign so it isn't Fort Mccarran, right, It's The Strip?
I know there are tons of NCR soldiers and and embassy there but I don't think I ever heard of House 'outsourcing' the defense of Vegas's perimeter to the NCR or saw it while entering Vegas in the game itself, it's supposed to purely be the Securitron's jobs to guard the walls.
it's a coin toss in my eyes
one way or another, I don't think it's a functioning train in real life
Rule of cool 
Maybe its target practice lol
Or some random outpost
I doubt it, it's designed and listened with live cargo, plus there's train tracks way in the back leading away. I doubt they would create just a random train for it to be there for the sake of.
and yeah game world vs "real", the game world is normally scaled down for convenience / engine limitations
Like yeah the train is there, but they went the extra mile of adding connecting tracks leading outside - plus the train was running. lol
they didn't create the train. This is a normal photo of the terminal
i missed the tracks
You're not understanding what I'm saying. If it wasn't relevant, they wouldn't add stuff like 'live cargo' onto it etc etc.
Like Dinky the T-Rex motel location vs tv
It goes to Vault 0... jk ( Or am I )
set dec idk, fair enough lol
Have you guys seen those bts photos of Thaddeus getting new arms?
so it is a functioning train in universe
Sad to see those tracks inside the buildings seem to be unused IRL
yeah, lol which is kinda important.
Idk how relevant it'll be story wise - it's possible it's the only secure way in and out of the facility while also serving as a delivery method for supplies, or test subjects.
I'm 100% sure this all ties into NORAD and Vault 0 somehow, if they made the Brotherhood take over Area 51, the Enclave is going to be entrenched in Cheyenne Mountain for sure
they were used at one point
Yeah but they're abandoned now
Every time you see abandoned train tracks it is still a sting to the heart
This has been my line of thought the entire time
yea, I don't know how complicated it would be to make the train seem functioning in show when it seems to just be part of the strcture
unused, the building itself isn't abandoned. It's a like shopping complex now lol
I'm talking about the train tracks though not the building itself
Every time you see abandoned train tracks it is still a sting to the heart

Yeaaaaahhhh this is the exception and not the rule
This is thankfully not used anymore
He shot a legion guy so it was presumably just entirely Republic business
I'm pretty sure it was a Raider, I don't think there are even Legion guys that close to the city or outskirts, they are full of raiders, and the NCR patrols do shoot them ( But not from inside the strip )
It was definitely a legionary given the following scenes in that trailer
The trailers aren't really to be taken as lore accurate gospel anyways
The real story of the Enclave isn't that they're a dark cabal planning the end of the world, they're the last vestige of a dying government who is watching their country get torn apart by corporations and weak politicians. They know the end of the world is coming, so they need to figure out how to stay on top when it all blows up.
I've had entire page-length arguments about this very thing you're talking about with other people. So let me reliterate. DESTROYING SHADY SANDS WOULDN'T DESTROY THE FUCKING NCR. Yes, they destroyed the NCR executive government structure. Yes, they crippled a major logistical hub.
But, it would it would incredibly, incredibly r-worded to just think that there wouldn't any stable infrastructure established in any of the other NCR states/cities, and that the NCR wouldn't establish martial law, and at the bare minimum try and create a consensus amongst the surviving leadership, military or civilian. There would be disorder, there'd be chaos, and the NCR would be drastically cut short of its resources. But it wouldn't just drop dead pathetically.
And before you go and claim like the others, no, the other states didn't "choose" to secede or the NCR fractured into isolated settlements or some dumb shit like that. Every single NCR state chose and voted to join and form the New California Republic voluntarily. Whether or not they changed their mind is unclear, but it wouldn't be as simply as "oh, they just left", because they'd realistically be worse off surviving on their own with supply lines from other cities/states.
This was long, but TL;DR, NCR wouldn't die like that because that's not how it works.
(I had this typed out like an hour ago, wow.)
He shot a Fiend, which the NCR has also been cleaning up.
I double-checked the scene and you are hilariously wrong, not only is it a Raider, it's a female raider... wearing skimpy raider armor, so definitely not Legion lol

Vegas outskirts are teeming with raiders who constantly exchange gunfire with NCR patrols and Fort Mccarran, there are like a 100 quests about that, and no Legion guys in the outskirts or the city
Huh never caught that before
We don't actually know if Shady Sands is still the seat of government or if it had been relocated when resources began to falter and the city lost prestige. Kimball gutted the government to stop the economic free fall and the NCR Congress had started to pull away from the state of Shady.
It is pretty unconventional that he's doing it from within The Strip and not the Securitrons, but I guess he got bored and wanted target practice.
They're pretty decent with effects, if they wanna use it - im sure they'll figure out something.
I think their main focus is liberty prime atm. lol
We can see the strip wall behind him so he's probably just from mcarran or somesuch
It's where the second entrance was going to be, i think
Yes but he's not supposed to be defending The Strip's perimeter, he's literally just standing on a wall with all the casinos behind him, but I guess House lets it slide and doesn't mind extra protection from soldiers who get bored of gambling
yea lol
He's on the sign rather than the wall
There's only one army that can defeat the Enclave and Quintius the Destroyer in Season 3, and it isn't the NCR or the Mutants - It's Gary's Army.
It's a sign hanging from the wall
Oh yeah, I can see that now. Still don't know what the fuck he's doing, boredom I guess.
Bro's just chillin' up here lmfao
unleash The Gary!
Had one too many drinks at Gomorrah and made a bet with some friends
it only makes me laugh because in-game, there's no ladders, dude just randomly scaled the sign. lol
there's that like fence thing, you could climb that lol
it looks unstable af
although climbing that with the sniper rifle and armor can't be easy
Deathclaw claws could easily climb that
I doubt it's going to stay standing with deathclaw weight on it
Redbull gives you wings.
apperently one of the Freeside villiagers had a laser musket lol
Van Graff loot
Whatever is happening to thaddeus it sure is sad, the dude is basically rotting by the day
Lucy can patch him up if he doesnt beg her to kill him
@compact quail i don't know if he can get his arm function back
It’s fine to not have one arm! A lot of people don’t 🎰
Question, can overseeer Harper be revealed as Lucy and Norm their mom? Timeline wise?
no, she's not
Why is there a slot machine emoji I didn’t put that there
Snip-Snip apparently knows the secret to restoring nerve and joint functuion on dead fingers
she was frozen for longer, Hank remarried
and had Lucy and Norm
@queen swift bro to me my life will be over
So its not possible that Harper was the biological mom ? And the other woman was the 'vault' mommy
this is randomly aggressive
Just a meme relax
correct
What
And why do you think you can confirm this ?
basic logic lol.
Isn’t the other woman named Rose? Respect her
it's very obvious Steph is not Lucy and Norm's mom
Steph technically is, but definitely not biologically
@civic crypt I mean they're not blonde
There is no basic logic when it comes to plot twists 😂 as long as it isnt confirmed on screen that she 100% isnt, its possible
well yea, step-mom
Steph-mom?
it's not though. Neither of them are blonde and Steph was frozen for longer than Hank, that's why the age difference is so different
It doesn't match Timeline wise, unless Steph was pulled out of cryo 20 years prior to Lucy, her and Lucy physically share the same age.
Fun shitpost theory that is almost certainly not true but amusing to think about: Cooper doesn't know when Barbara and Janey left their cryopods for Colorado. It's possible that many years have passed and now Janey is the President of the Enclave, reminscient of Fallout 4's plotline with SHaun and the Institute
No? He might of carried her..
Uhh, things, but Lucy and Norm definitely carried from Rose’s genes.
Step-mom would imply she was the mother figure AFTER Rose, she wasn't.
Alright. I think Lucy is supposed to be like 18/20ish? And Steph is around 40
true, but her and Hank don't seem to be divorced
where did you get that lol, what about Steph screams "40"
Still, it doesn't mean she's lucy's step mom.
no i know, i am curious what she does count as though lol
What? They're roughly same age, roughly. Steph is in her 20s.
yea
Probably centaur
Because she looks like a 40 year old who looks young for her age ? 😂😂😂😂
Now a very wealthy probably centaur
@obtuse niche not centaur more like harold
Most of the Bud’s Buds are probably 20-30
Steph looks 40 to you???????????
Nah centaurs very specifically don't have arms
so then she doesn't look 40? this is a very confusing statement
Holy shit shes as old as me.... 28 😭😭😭 same month as well, may
And Harold uh does before he trees
she looks like a normal late 20 year old
I met 40 year olds before and she definitely looks like a 20 year old. At most, a 30 year old.
With some people you get the feeling they ARE old, but look young because of genetics.... you dont get what I mean?
not really
Sounds like a you issue tbh
I mean Steph technically is old because of the whole cryo sleep thing
It doesn't necessarily matter because people keep forgetting Steph married Bert.
considering nobody else seems to think she looks 40, i'd say na
And was about to marry Chet. She got game
No I on god thought the actress was wayy older than she was. Maybe its because how she carries herself, very mature and dominant. I just didnt picture her being as old as me
damn so divorce just don't exist in the vaults
The actress is also literally 28
i mean yea because the character is over 200 years old lol
Marriage isnt even legal in the vaults 😂😭 and wdym divorce? Didnt she became a widow
Not that it entirely indicates character age but like lol
Steph and Hank probably didn’t even divorce tbh
Why would they?
Anyway, there’s no proof of any kind or reason to assume Steph would be Lucy’s mom.
Or rather their marriage isn't narratively important, just relationship important between the two given their true allegiance is to the Enclave. It's more like Steph and Hank being each other's first - sort of binds them in a way it kinda nullifies their future relationships.
yea. They both married somebody else while still being married
Can you guys fact check that marriage is illegal in the vaults
no I know, it's just fun to think about
Yeah uh we see Lucy's mom anyways she's very dead
I honestly don’t know
😂😂😂😂 illegal is a bit too much. But the law made by men is obviously no longer significant at the end of the world
considering Steph was getting married and they seem to be all set up with it and she was married before, i doubt it's illegal
He's making shit up, there's plenty of marriages that we read about even in vaults in FNV.
Just making sure that the vault trinity was not built as different with marriage laws
Episode 1 prominently features a wedding which may provide us an insight into their legal policies on marriage
It wasn't, the whole 'laws are irrelevant' is a silly argument.
Most vaults tried to maintain some level of normalcy despite being experiments. Some vaults might make it a bigger deal than others, but it definitely isn't illegal - or bad in any way.
So technically.......... I wasnt that much off. Even tho the actresses are aroumd the same age
that's a wiki that anybody can edit, we don't know what Steph's age is lol
Steph was only recently thawed out though. Based on what Bud tells us.
I get the sense that Steph was pretty young because of that escape sequence
If this is true then Steph is younger than my dad
and that she is still around the same age as the flashbacks apperance wise
I just mean when she met Hank obviously she was a bit older than 20 no???? And then we count the years of her being in the vault. Shes easilyyy older than Lucy in the storyline
We could factcheck it but we'd have to look at every little detail in the series. I am convinced there is a 10 years gap at least between Lucy and Steph
yeah, and she's the most recent person to be thawed out of cryo.
why does her age even matter lol, she's pre-war so her current age is honestly irrelevant in my eyes
Sure, but even then - it doesn't change the fact that she would've had to have been around 20 years ago for Lucy to be born, she wasn't.
She was still cryofrozen.
Also moldaver's home decor ghoul had that locket or whatever
True, I was more thinking about their factual ages now 😂 not the parental part
Betty I guess was unfrozen first
Irrelevant
Yeah it goes Hank then betty then Steph
Betty was first, Hank was second, and I imagine after the bombing in Shady Sands - Hank orchestrated with Bud to have Steph released after him to have a contigency.
Betty than Hank
Steph is mommy tho. But tbh, I would have tamed her, Chet is such a softy lol.
Oh okay, Hank did not age gracefully
yea
i mean he's been unfrozen for a while
“tamed her” what sort of language is this
Steph would kill me with a belt and 2 coat hangers I'm keeping my distance
No way Im keeping my distance. She is GORGEOUS
I would be her rebound
But then again.... she is Canadian. I might keep my distance too
I personally like Cooper H more.
Or as he is known now, The Ghoul
The Ghoul is def aura farming (no homo). But for me it would be...
F Ghoul
M Lucy
K Maximus (sorry bud for catching a stray)
this is a weird conversation
Whats your FMK between the 3? LOL
she will kill you
Life is fun when its weird
It is a hill I am willing to die on, as long as she looks me in the eyes when doing so.
Frame murder kill
Exactly! Thats what the frame I was talking about
The Ghoul is def aura farming (homo).
Yo
Anyways
My favourite episode of this season IS episode 8
The Ghoul having to wear a Pipboy was def a compromise that hurt to watch. But he'd do anything for Barb and Jaynes
Lowkey why wouldn’t he?(do anything), that’s basically been his whole purpose and why he keeps going
Yeah but I mean it hurt because he hates the vault tech with a passion, so he had to use the thing he despises the most.
Im not a big nv fan and I felt the hype of ranger showing up
I just wonder when he will realise how scary he looks and will be too scared to actually find his wife and daughter... the realisation might sink in moments before he actually meets them and he might change his course of action
The House Always Wins
The better President
No
Huh
Let me fix it
Isent that the mr krabs voice actor
How dare you, you filthy wastelander
All i see the enclave as is a source of microfusion cells
He’s dead, Jim.
The Enclave sucks
The Enclave Remnants: exists
Fallout: “Time to die, scrubs!”
More like thanks for the laser weapons
Not necessarily
The house is talking about what sucks please
We ALL think the Enclave sucks
The Enclave is doomed to fail. As Fallout Intended.
Yo dudes the enclave is pretty chill wanna join it or something
The Enclave is the superior faction
We all think your annoying
Brotherhood you talking you're a joke
*you’re
My bad
We are America 🇺🇸
Georgia Jumpscare 🇬🇪
What you copied the name of one our state's
🇩🇪
Anyways, I have nothing else on my mind to discuss expect House X Cooper yaoi and I don’t think anyone wants me to talk about that, so farewell.
As I said, the Enclave Remnants will fail. They were and in the next season will be the Big Bad End Game Punching Bag. It’s been that way since 2.
Eww
Heheheheh you don't know that
Why did you react with pregnant man emoji under “Cthulhu#4402”’s text
Because they have no argument other than going “Nuh uh, Enclave Wins!”
But I’m sitting on the side of lore precedent and such. The Enclave Remnants have been punched in the face since 2. I personally written them off as a major threat since 3.
I think the enclave is gonna win in season 3
The House Always Wins
But is Robert House THE House, that is the question
The house is anthony house
I hope Lucy Maclean (tv character) dies in the next season of fallout (tv show)
Why do you have to specify this that much
That's certainly wishful thinking
I got banned for a day on discord
By the shitty auto mod
Lol what
it’s like 1984
Fallout show watchers are so delusional when they think the Ghoul will get a happy ending
A happy ending
With House being right 💔
That’s his ending
Okay but what if uhh he adopts Lucy and uhh realises that his family are the friends he made along the way
then he makes mr house into a mr home
The Ghoul will not get the happy ending people think:
Option A: he will get rejected by his family because he is a Ghoul
Option B: he will turn feral and his daughter or wife will need to kill him
Option C: his family is actually dead, but he has racist grandchildrens (enclave)
Option D he replaces his wife with Lucy
Worst of all
I mean, I do feel like he got a lot of character development this season. He truly learned to get his humanity back thanks to Lucy
Alcoholic Drug addict ghoul and I can’t legally describe Robert House adopts Vaultie
The Ghoul is basically a carbon copy of the Sole Survivor, with a few changed elements
I can
Yeah we know you have the ability to but why
No, not really
My ass is so desperate for found family🥀
Because what he said was communist
Maximus is going to die in season 3. His character is irrelevant.
No he won't. He is basically the main character now
Communism is like a economic theory
a silly one at that
“Everyone is going to die”
Good in practice, shit to apply?
it’s funny and gets a good rise out of the dorks of the fallout network
No one has fully applied it unfortunately
it’s kinda like impossible to
It's technically possible to apply, but it can't work practically
you need to somehow eliminate scarcity
I don’t want to continue this argument because I do not like politics but I might go review it someday
There isn't a single political regime that isn't flawed anyway
Now, back to the Cooper x House yaoi
I mean, The Ghoul’s ending.
I honestly also think that with his family, it’s not going to be a good ending if his arc stops there.
No, he won't get a good ending with the action of his wife
She was one of the many pawn of the Enclave, just like Diane Welch
Basically what I’m saying.
If the writers decided to stop his arc when he finds his family or something, he’s definitely not going to have a happy ending.
Definitely gonna get killed/heavily injured or something if his arc stops there.
Best thing that could happen is that ~~ He gets with House and adopts Lucy ~~ he convinces either his wife (if still alive) or his daughter(who has a likelihood of being alive) to stop being in the Enclave and that he’s still Cooper Howard
Ugh
I hope those ncr troopers will cook those deathclaws and eat them in celebration
Since deathclaw meat is edible I would eat them
Legion will slime ya
Idk
why does it fit so well
I think that Enclave in the Rockies and Midwest is building secretly a huge army with their own version of the Liberty Prime
We will see Quintus' Liberty Prime Alpha VS Enclave's Liberty Prime in Season 4 ;
Season 3 will end with the Enclave launching full-scale invasion against the NCR and Legion and whatever BoS remnants remain
there's no particular reason to think the enclave is changing from its status quo of doing almost nothing
at least for now
Frank Horrigan cloning facility on Enclave moon base theory
Yup
we literally got A LOT of hints that the Enclave is very much alive and thriving in the Rockies and most likely Midwest AND that is planning on something really, really big and important
It's alive and thriving and still doing nothing
yeah... that's planned for Season 3 and 4
We've gotten no indication that it's "planning something" just that there's an experiment Hank is involved in executing
you are not a fan of hints and implying of something
𝙶𝙾𝙳 𝙱𝙻𝙴𝚂𝚂 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙴𝙽𝙲𝙻𝙰𝚅𝙴
I'm not a fan of taking implications and using them to make more assumptions to create a whole theory out of it
The show is saying that it's just not going in your face and proving it
What we've actually been told would suggest that the enclave is just observing the surface situation and doing the occasional minor thing
that's why I said "I think"
I didn't say "It will be 100% like this:"
What do you think?
There's not even a remote suggestion of a connection between the enclave and liberty prime and honestly the enclave has never cared about territorial claims so the idea of it ever launching invasions is pretty dubious
:Patrick Bateman stare and shock after watching business card from Paul Allen:
v e r y n i c e
okay, you sold me your story
Enclave won't do anything
BoS and Quintus won't do anything
Ghoul won't do anything
Lucy and Maximus won't do anything
Everyone dies at the end and nothing important happens in the wasteland
The enclave will win in season 3
Season 4 will take place in china with new protagonists
Indeed

I doubt it, it will be another season of dragging several plotlines without giving them resolution
that's why I think it will end with Enclave launching full-scale invasion
Maximus and Lucy will establish the new colorado republic (NCR for short) and fallout 5 will be NCR vs Enclave
No
It's more likely the show will build up to FO5's release - and whatever the conclusion is, will play on a larger scale for the conflict in whatever Wasteland setting that happens there.
I think Max, Lucy, Norm, and Coop's stories will be resolved etc etc, but the stories revolving around the factions will not be.
Will see
The story is driven by the protagonists, and is about them my guy, anyone with any inkling of understanding narratives can see this happening.
it is also funny thing that actor that portrayed Timothy Bryce in American Psycho is now portraying Robert House in Fallout TV show
yeah, seems it is going in that direction, for better or worse
I'm not saying it's not gonna happen bruh
That's funny as fuck
yeah, Justin Theroux is his name, check him out
Idk if they'll MILK IT, but it's like the broader/bigger conflict will be left to the future protagonist we play, to resolve. Which, dunno - it's hard to pull off, not saying impossible but it's gonna take a lot of work. Which is why I think certain plotlines are being started but we won't get their conclusions, because it'll be in the hands of someone else who has more capabilities than the protagonists in the show.
Wow they put a mountain there
How did they put a mountain under it
I have no idea
Say what you want but Maximus is HIM
Last son of shady sands. The armor broke before he did 😤
They're gonna tell stories of him like he actually did some shit with that casino fit
Probably rumors spread by Thaddeus
Thaddeus better get a cool hat
Maximus is literally the epitome of the NCR.
is he perfect? Nope. Not at all. He doesn't plan well, can be a bit naive', but my god does he have heart.
the armor broke before he did.
"I don't hear no bell"
say what you want maximus always gets back up
I swear, Maximus would stand on business even if Liberty Prime was bearing down on him.
Chet is gonna make such a good super mutant
I think it would be funny if Davey keeps his mustache
DAVEY SMASH!!
Folks
Holy shit
Doesn’t mean it’s in NY, just means it’s the building they modeled it off of… still pretty fucking cool though
Yeah it's confirmed to be in the rockies pretty much. lol
The working train system they have is a crazy development, though
It's funny how bro only saved the Filipino bad bih
if it is going to bring vanburen lore, this would be the cheyenne mt NORAD base along with the boulder dome nearby
Not only did the NCR save the strip from being overrun but they also setup the way for maximus to join them in season 3
#fallout #falloutseason2
peak NCR video
I have a theory that Kevin's Legion would get steamrolled proving Caesar's point that the Legion dies with him first sign is he ate the letter which represents Denial, his ascension to the position of Caesar and his tone of sounding not so powerful and the promise of taking vegas to build "Caesar's Palace" represents Bargain
Wouldn't it be Anger before Bargain though
Stabbing the witness serves as anger
They didn’t model it off of, it’s where they shot it at and then added the mountains around it
The moment Kevin tries to take Vegas and get steamrolled, barely alive becomes depression
Really getting off topic here btw but the Five Stages of Grief is an outdated science not taking into account the individuality of each human but ya'll ain't ready for that conversation
Fair enough
It still could be an interesting thing to follow for Lacerta's storyline though
I'm honestly curious what would a scavenged NCR power armour would look like the one where the servos are removed
You think the NCR Power Armour we saw in the show was made before Shady sands blew up? Using blueprints fron tbe Advanced power armour from the enclave maybe recovered brotherhood armour for inspiration
Before finalizing the design to be modelled after the NCR ranger
There's a likely chance more were made with the rest probably destroyed in Shady sands
I don’t think they’d have the capacity to make new power armor post Shady
It was before Shady, but after the Dam battle, perhaps?
As for it's purpose, it's likely going to be a replacement for their aging T-45
The armor itself is a mishmash of T45, T51, and T60, i think from the screenshots? I don't remember.
I can imagine 2 guys in NCR power armour protecting the president
Yeah. Given the design it seems like it was made for rangers but I don’t think it really works for how they operate. Probably just meant to be the first step in a mass rollout of functional power armor units within the army.
Someone posted it before. Which pieces it used from each.
Since the salvaged PA isn’t all that functional outside of being used as glorified sentry posts
Consider the threat of the Brotherhood in the future, and what they learned from Helios one during Operation Sunburst, they gotta atleast get their own hardware to match an entire chapter
It's likely some armour are being put together in other areas even after Shady Sand's destruction to a limited capacity and in secrecy
With only half fully complete
Good example would be Maximus's
And it's likely they avoid using it as losing one armour is pretty costly and one of their bases already fell and leadership, kind of kaput after the Brotherhood's attack on the Griffith observatory which results in the death of Lee Moldaver
Reducing them to Guerrilla warfare
With several squads and platoon sized forces getting cut off from comms
Probably took awhile for them to link up
Half Life 3 confirmed
That is not the Cheyenne Mountain Complex (the Fallout version of it).
It appears to be a smaller communications station with a scientific department, connected to the Cheyenne Mountain Complex by a railway system.
The latter would be a much larger base and the HQ of the Enclave in the Rockies, and potentially the Midwest as well.
"Jane Freeman who is Gordon Freeman's sister was one day in a office, typing on a computer."
I'll be super impressed if you get that reference
I immediately thought of the Stanley Parable even though it’s probably not that
not your fault, i'm just old
My name is [Redacted] and I’m only [Negative Number] years old!
Hi Redacted, I'm dad!
given that Caesar's Legion was in a state of civil war then it likely lost control of Colorado, leaving more room for Enclave to operate without obstacles on the ground ; if Enclave in the Rockies is exceptionally strong it is safe to presume that it took over Legion's territory there and expanded in recent years
I also doubt we will see Midwest BoS given that there is no mention of it so far despite several chapters making appearance
The enclave was there the whole time hidden in the mountains
It's insane how this season brought all the Enclave fanboys out of the shadows
The legion is likely still in control of their previous territory given they're still in the mojave
Also the civil war didn't stop legion tactics and warfare
We know they still make pushes against the BoS according to the map
yeah, I'm just guessing that Enclave got stronger after civil war started, giving the weakened state of Legion at the time of Season 2
Its likely that they're just operating while hidden
Legion still probably controls the territory just unaware of secret mountain base
they will probably engage Legion and the NCR at the end of Season 3
Either that or FO5
when both sides are weakened by the battle for New Vegas
Brotherhood is on the way too
Enclave vs NCR vs Legion vs BoS
I imagine they’ll figure out where the Cold Fusion is somehow
Maybe House / one of the main characters will reactivate the Securitrons too
Leaving the fate of New Vegas ambiguous probably
so Enclave had cold fusion for all these years before Wilzig escaped and didn't do anything meaningful with it ?
Dude who’s to say they don’t have like ten more of those diodes
well House says there is just this one
They’ve had that shit for 200 years now
Dogmeat is going with the Ghoul to Colorado and will probably have to fight Enclave mind controlled dogs
they prob shit everywhere too
I do hope Dogmeat shows up with Coop
We saw dogmeat going with him
yeah i mean if he's not there it'll be more like "wtf happened to dogmeat how dare you"
Just hope the Enclave don't have laser gates
I'm shocked that radroaches are that lethally strong.
It would be awesome to see Enclave power armor, X-01 and / or X-02
to the point they actually put a full grown human into a goddamn struggle on their own, and a swarm can snip your limbs off in seconds.
that's gonna take a while for me to adjust... It's giving me Survival Mode F4 vibes.
I fucking hate them, they are extremely irritating when they attack in group
Radroaches in lore are stronger than they are in-game, and they keep the same qualities as normal roaches do. Meaning theres a fuckton of them.
Most people forget the wasteland is a nightmare reality full of radioactive monsters
And to the commoner they don't have plot armor
If people were in NV irl 90% of people would get killed by the geckos in the tutorial
average American that has around 330 lbs would be quickly dead
And everyone else would die of dysentery
If I get the stuff you start with in the caravan and mercenary and tribal packs and take the path south and use speech checks a lot? I think I got this
100%
I think the most dangerous part would be realistic bullet damage
now when I think about it, I would die for not having Monster Energy can to drink when I wake up
Irl gameplay mechanics don't work
I mean stimpaks seem to work for bullet wounds and shit pretty well but you’d be dead if someone shot you in the head (a second time)
I would kill myself
Your only real option is really try to stay in goodsprings and hope you don't die when the powder gangers show up
Ok well I ain’t stickin around to help Goodsprings unless easy Pete lets me use his dynamite
Then you either get killed by raiders or radscorpions
Or again dysentery good luck finding clean water
Yeah again I’d be more worried about taking a bullet to the brain than anything
Or like one viper gunslinger with a grenade rifle
Disease would be the most dangerous thing irl
Sneak everywhere. Travel only at night…
You'll need to find something to eat and drink that doesn't kill you
Oh yeah you’d be fucked without fresh water too. And I doubt radaway is just everywhere
That's why goodsprings is your only chance
Guess I’m just gonna be the sheriff of Goodsprings then
“… And so the Courier decided to quit while he was ahead, settled down and married Sunny Smiles and lived as sheriff of Goodsprings for the next 50 years.”
Simple answer is to comply and they might leave goodsprings alone aside from wanting fresh water tributes
Assuming the Legion makes it that far :i
They hit Nipton only a matter of time
Try to keep Goodsprings independent as much as possible
That includes NCR don't let them in
Also pray neither the cazzadors nor the deathclaws ever decide to wander south
also RIP on no Radtoads yet, like c'mon. Would be a fun animal to see.
or Radhogs for that matter, those would be quite a nightmare to deal with.
yo that Enclave pip boy thou imma need it
edit goes hard but why was Colonel Autumn doing the Hitler salute at the end there 😭
What are you talking about
Exactly we would never were Americans 🇺🇸 

that ending thou crazyyy
Indeed
left with more questions than answers lmfaoo
Yep but that's what a good cliffhanger is supposed to do
Gonna get nuked
Alpha version - so definitely not the East's updated version. Curious to see how he'll operate.
now to wait two years for season 3 lol
Makes me wonder where they taking the story too (like does lucy and max still stay in vegas to fight the war)
Mid 2027
No Mr. House
A year and a half at most, a year at least, production is already underway. The showrunners already talked about how they might make Liberty prime's prop.
And the filming date is May 1st.
I wanna see Liberty Prime throw a mini nuke at a Commonwealth BoS airship or something
At least knock a vertibird out of the sky or something
I hope we get more episodes and not just 8 cuz man we need more explaining lol
Commonwealth BOS vs West Coast BOS for season 3 is about to go insane lol
I imagine House will try to recruit them to help fight for Vegas - or Maximus joins the NCR or something, but who knows.
Very debatable if the Commonwealth will even show, everyone kept saying they were coming, and they didn't. They may or may not be involved, but as of right now there's been like little to zero mention of them being involved or on the way.
I TOLD YOU
WHERE ARE THE MFS
I need them to glaze me for being right and admit they were wrong
who lol
Idk but ppl were making fun of me for being “wrong” about Mr house
And saying they were gonna gloat when I’m wrong about him being dead this whole time
Guess who was right this whole time 😂😂😂😂😂😂
oh, yeah there were people betting on it being yes man, i think it's funny a lot of the people who kept saying house was gone, or the ncr wasn't coming suddenly vanished
honest to god believed the NCR would not be coming, but i stand corrected.
idk where she found those soldiers
I’m the goat
What if they take the cold fusion from house to power Liberty Prime A... but again in the game they said liberty prime took ages to complete and resources beyond comprehension like how they gonna build that so fast 🤔
So what do we think Maximus’s friend is really
Also wasn't Dr. Madison Li like the only one smart enough to build it???
Cuz he isn’t a ghoul. I think he’s the same type of creature as The Master
They’re at Area 51 dude
I suppose they can say area 51 had so many resources for the sake of the plot
I love Todd Howard
The battalion out east(or west? I forget which area she said specifically, i think it was east).
Todd Howard is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to fallout
They have plans, and the resources of Area 51.
Odds are they can do it.
probably something like the Master or Harold. but, i'm keeping my bid in centaur just in case so i can say "i said so" to all the people who have provided evidence that he isn't turning into a centaur.
which he definitely isn't turning into a centaur
but
The master was submerged in FEV for a long while, Harold was a similarly weird situation
i like saying "i told you"
He’s not a centaur cuz where’s the cat and dog
exactly
he’s probably the ghoul Jesus Christ
Per traditional lore he shouldn't be turning into a centaur
Then again there's a vague resemblance
he's gonna become mutant jesus for those other mutants that want to fight back against the Enclave.
I’m so glad I was right all along
also correct
but I’m also glad the fallout show is amazing. The mutant looked SO GOOD
He looked like a fallout 1 super mutant
Well Tbf fallout 4’s super mutants are actually different lore wise
ooooooohhh
They are institute made not enclave
She said east yeah
Also I saw a post on the fallout subreddit talking about how Bethesda is milking the BoS and Enclave
But Tbf they made a lot of great new factions in fallout 76 and nobody cares
Probably because it’s FO76
Fo76 is actually fairly good now
im apart of the institute
No matter how good its fans claim it is it’s a bastard child in the eyes of most
That’s a shame. It’s def better than fo1 and 2
No hate of course I think those 2 games are great just old
battalion out east when the legion had a civil war she took advantage to go find them
Ella Purnell is so pretty bruh
Cold take
I wanna kiss her
:0 okay
Why is Paul atredies so evil in the fallout show
i like her bug eyes
I agree. It makes her unique and a lot of people can make fun of her for it but also… she can get it any day of the week
real
ironically shes the embodies the classic 50’s beauty
SAME. It makes her so recognisable. Peak human
I lowkey think the minutemen are still around
I’m more of a Annabel guy but Ella is gorgeous as well
I also lowk think that WestTek dropped the bombs
West Tek aura
west tek comeback is crazy
I love fallout I love Todd Howard. I love Bethesda. I love obsidian. I love Skyrim.
I hate fallout I love Todd Howard. I love Bethesda. I hate obsidian. I love Skyrim.
I despise Fallout but it is a necessary sacrifice to fund what actually matters (ES6)
They will be dead and Lucy will assassinate Dave’s ghoulified corpse
As a final fuck you to the fans from Todd himself
Or the republic of Rosie in my playthru’s case
I’m a fan and I love the show 😔
I get that. They are working on fo5 and es6 but they are trying to be extra careful cuz of all the backlash lol
They are probably making a new engine
Tuff ash edit of Maximus op is minutemenofficial2 on TikTok
Weren’t you one of the people that kept telling me I was wrong
I told u I was right
Nora fought for Shaun and Nate whereas Barbara Howard just let them mfs take cooper Howard away 😂😂😂
I hope they have a battle between the Primes
Too much info and confusion
just state what facism generally is
Even lucy herself agrees
laymen's terms:
fascism bad 
Not good enough
fascism very bad
I am just gonna wait for spy answer
you asked for general
I still think it's funny bro got kicked out of news and discussion so he comes here, now. 😭
Who?
Spy.
is it the same guy who was raving about the Enclave not being fascist
Well he not wrong
The enclave isnt facist
No, idk what he was raving about, it's almost always politics. lol
They are the nazi in the fallout universe
Nazism is a form of fascism
Everything the enclave does and their action
Just think of them as nazi and suddendly every single one of them makes sense
Repeating the cycle of them being destroyed and rebuilt
anyone got a 4k pic of the ghoul looking out at the mountains
and, in short: the Enclave is fascist
@brisk igloo No memes, #rules 2
Oh sorry
Nazism is fascism. they just got their own lil title because when you commit genocide, killing around six million jews, it kinda sticks out…
anyways
we heading a bit too politcal
uh show
more ncr power ramor please
Fallout’s moral core in a nutshell:
People who want to control other people are dickheads. Some of them have motivations as to why they are dickheads, but they are dickheads nonetheless
Look
Idk about morals
Whoever is paying me the most is always the correct one
Boom, you never have to worry about morality ever again
And maybe then Hank’d have better arguments for his ‘both sides bad’ spiel.
So me thinks there’s a lot more ncr soldiers that we’ve yet to see outside of the ones that showed up in the finale. Rodriguez found the battalion she mentioned before and they gave her a company sized detachment of soldiers to go to Vegas since she is a captain after all. Possibly the rest will show up once the fighting starts against the legion
Yeah, i imagine we only saw what was necessary to convey. It's not comparable to the wideshot of the Legion marching. So we're not gonna see ALL the NCR forces.
also people need to recognize the difference in uniforms comparing the Units that came with Rodriguez - vs what we've seen in the past, and such. Because they're super clean and well kept.
Too may people freaking out about how small the force is compared to the legion that’s marching on Vegas and that they’ll get steamrolled lol
it could've probably been communicated better though
In what way, wanting an equal shot of the NCR Battalion?
i think the way that they just round the corner was a little weird
it would've been cool to see some NCR vertibirds flying in
Wait. Who’s the current president of NCR in tv show
we don't know afaik
that's the Enclave
anyone else get the feeling Cooper is gonna die at the end of his story or is that just me
they probably won't seeing as how he's the most popular of the main three
I get the feeling he’s gonna find his family in Colorado and they’re gonna be ghouls too
Just kidding
no no - i do have similar theories
i just mean like… if they do get all five seasons, he'll die in the end
idk
he got that "loveable main character who'll tragically die in the end" vibe and i don't like it
No. He will start a NEW family, adopting Lucy and uhh resolving conflict with him and House
FOUND FAMILY PLEASE I NEED MY FOUND FAMILY SLOP
No one they’re dead 
Fantastic
Hallelujah
We don't even know if they have operational ones currently. Given the way they didn't expand upon them, them showing up the way they did made the most sense. I think expecting the NCR to show up in vertibirds, or the Brotherhood in the same way, or the Commonwelath with airships is a bit unrealistic.
Dunno, but Kimball is dead af.
If Janey is a child when he finds her, I 100% see him and Barb dying, but entrusting Janey to Lucy and Maximus.
I fully believe they're pulling a fo4
That sounds like a 'you' problem
Mental skill issue
that's my fear
tried explaining it. didn't wanna listen. just said "oooh no. this is getting to close to real politics. power armour!" 😭😭
oo i have that one saved too, this one is my fav tho
no wait - i am wrong on this. the Enclave is more nazi because of their focus on eugenics. you are correct on that. my bad 🙇
not sure about not grasping the concept of fascism, but i'll leave that up to you to figure out. try google.
The legion is fascism mixed with a chattel slave system
The enclave is fascism mixed with the illuminati
What about house?
Not this politics talk again
Damn man Diane Welch really deserved better than that
Saddest episode in the whole series, not only did we watch Welch suffer and die, but we also got to watch Hank being essentially killed too and Lucy losing her father
Eh, Hank deserved worse for what he did, but death of personality is acceptable.
lobotomised ✨
-# just like what they did to women in the 50's
-# they kept the theme going, but now more inclusive 😭
Figured you'd say that. Was wondering "huh wonder what that guy thought of that"
It wasn't just women it was people that were deemed mentally unfit to live in society like schizophrenics or other people who could harm themselves or others
I dont even know what i am correct about
I speak words
Do you think F76 will have a season now based on the show factions
NCR,Enclave,BoS,Legion,Vault tec
All in one season pass 15-20 pages
yes people already datamined a set of ncr armor in the files
you are right. i should have phrased it like you did.
-# i said only women because they were among the ones who were more likely to be lobotomised in comparison to (mentally well affronting) men in the 1950's. along side disabled and people of colour.
Isn’t it just the NCR power armor that is out rn for 29.99 bundle
I have to wonder, how did she not get captured by Hank, seeing as he managed to capture Biff? That'll probably not be addressed at all.
She just better or lucky?
I mean
We are assuming hank is using power armor capturing these people
And that just made me realise that maximus will get his t-60 next season because there one that hank has
power armor are meant to be rare and maximus over here collecting them like bobbleheads smh
whats next?
next season he casually wearing T-51 and enclave power armor?
So does anybody else think that the ghoul is heading to Mt. Charleston/ Jacobstown to get help from the super mutants who already healed him?
There’s no way you see the Rockies from new Vegas geographically.
That mountain at the end is in the sierras and the Ghoul is going to need some help with the Enclave.
Thoughts?
Next season in March is based off Cryptids and Aliens I believe.
It is, just hope the season after it is fallout show faction themed
Hellooooo Citizen
Where is the secret formula mr crabs?!?!
That fucking doctor
Be careful staff consider edits as “memes”
And memes aren’t allowed for some reason as rule 2 says

Better delete it cause that borderline a meme or not
Fallout edits aren’t memes is which I don’t understand how they can say it is, seems they just want a excuse to get use their perms
Caesar: "Long-term stability at all costs. The individual has no value beyond his utility to the state, whether as an instrument of war, or production."
Also Caesar: "The Legion dies with me"
You say this but ceaser never groomed a successor in the games
He had zero plans for his death
I mean
If you go with the Legion ending you get your face stamped on some currency, which usually is only really is reserved for a successor historically
He was a narcissist who built a cult of personality he knew would struggle after him
Ceasers legion isn’t a historically accurate depiction of Rome
What people have sent edits before?
Also , this is also , technically a meme if you really think about it
Should join the Enclave
The rule 2 really states that images or gifs cannot be memes
Yea I got muted fo 30 mins over 2 enclave edits
But I've seen people send multiple edits.This server is so unfair.It's why I'm making my own one that will be way better
Anyways I love episode eight
That’s lowkey kinda a commie move /joke
This server is communist
I can see past that, he’s a father, great one btw, and he would go any distance for his children! He might have done bad things but I don’t think it’s black and white for him, what he did to Welch was horrible tho
Don’t you feel sorry for her? I don’t cry often but damn man she was treated poorly before and after the war, she truly was just misunderstood and too genuinely good for the people around her
She was such a nice lady who didn’t deserve that!
Exactly, and I honestly sympathize a lot with her situation and character, she’s the sweetest character in the whole show
I would argue Maximus or Dane are the sweetest but yes shes for sure top 3
Well Maximus is cool, but he is willing to hurt others, Welch is incapable of that… Dane is more like it but I guess we don’t have enough about him unfortunately :/
Maximus has too, he cant do it unless hes against a wall, not like hes hurting people out of the desire to do so, but the only times we see it is when his life is in danger. Welch may have the survival instincts to protect herself if she was not so, corporate
Dane I feel is a very good person, also a very smart one, I just hope they are smart enough to keep themselves alive
So, what I don’t understand is if Hank was controlled the entire time
Was that the reveal? And the reason why he was braindead was the little remote?
did you just deadname Dane? 
what
They called Dane Dane?
I was joking. The script uses the pronouns 'they/them' for Dane
yes? and
Nvm
Bro thinks misgendering and deadnaming is the same thing
truly
the ncr scenes use the fo4 version of the beth era fallout theme right
yes
lol for real
Maybe 1.5 at best.
Yeah sure it’s a fair argument! Maximus is top 3 I’ll agree
What does deadnaming mean?
some people from here won't be alive to see it.... think about that
Wdym by controlled? Like if he had an implant all along? Is that what you’re asking?
Yeah I was confused, but I realized he just became a blank slate because there was no personality base anymore
I’m convinced (not 100% sure tho) that the implant was put there by Lucy, and she intended to use it as leverage more than as an actual solution, Hank had a controller himself which is universal, and he triggered his implant instead of letting Lucy do it (or not do it) so he was in control of that
But I don’t think he had it all along no…
Yeah no that’s the intent, I just got confused because I watched it at midnight and I was tired

Ah thanks I thought so
I just finished the show recently, and that was amazing
We lost Shady Sands. We lost at the Mojave. But we haven't lost the dream.
The NCR are finally gone. We will dance in the streets.
What the fuck? Another spy?
The NCR should be turned into this by Quintus
Peak
It'd be like the strip but theme park
Legion about to slime The dream
Paladin Rhombus?!
Do you only speak in tiktok edits mate
Nah but I heard of the elder
NCR tries to be like uss so badly bur they fail
Because of their imperfections
Enclave tries to kill everyone so badly but they fail to beat a tribal
Those were experiments not us
Who's "us"?
You can only be Enclave or Legion
Enclave comes first but we support the Legion when possible
The Legion are a bunch of tribals following a demented old man with a brain tumor. The Enclave only matters.
Instead of fighting the tribals the Enclave uses the tribals to fight glorified tribals (NCR)
It’s an amazing plan
Use the muties to kill the muties
Oh okok 😂
You know, I was hoping it was the people of freeside coming to make a stand for the kid that was willing to sacrifice it all for them but NCR is cool too
Yeah I mean everyone in this universe who isn’t a civilized NCR member is dirty and evil
They would never band together to help someone out of the kindness of their hearts 
Old boy wanted to
Balada de la Trompeta is still stuck in my head, someone help
But of course they made it nothing but a funny moment
Duh
We already knew this tbf, im glad the show made sneering imperialist canon
It’s funny how much contempt this show has for like 99% of wastelanders.
They’re all smelly peasants
At least that one guy in Freeside was willing to go help
That was the guy who didn’t like being taxed right
Taxes you say?!
Common libertarian W
If he had backup he would've but they all shut him down
It pisses me off they didnt have the same scene but atleast old boy went to make a stand with maximus then the ncr saved them
Or better yet they fucking help the kid like hes willing to do for them
The ncr is cool but id like it more if they fought alongside the people
The average wastelander being as fucked up as they are is probably to add some more drama to Lucy’s dilemma between supporting Hank or not
I think it’s the main purpose behind it this season outside of like, aesthetics and the show just being tropey.
Yea but wouldn't it be so much better to prove that Lucy is right about people coming together without the chips?
Yes
Probably
Maybe they’ll show this in season 3 with the Legion invasion but it’ll have lost some of its impact by then
I feel like I would motivate her to keep being good but I just know she'll spare the legate or something instead
The freeside people are all about "take back our town!" But they didnt fight for it and it didnt mean anything. I solely believe some of them making a stand with max would've been sooo much better for the story, theyre fighting a losing battle and the ncr shows up to help them showing they're willing to fight and die for the people like true heros
It could be cliche i guess but it would've been leagues better than just aura farming the ncr for 2 mins of screen time total
Yeah I agree completely
I was thinking of an idea of a scene with the NCR prior to this episode where, instead of them teleporting into Freeside, the NCR remnants directly intercept the Legion forces entering Vegas, launching a surprise attack that causes a massive battle to occur on the outskirts of the city.
Im going to guess that they'll have to make a deal woth house to stop the legion and he'll release an army of robots or something
And then the Fiends join in and repel the NCR resulting in a stunning Legion victory
Like the entire time im watching I'm mad that they just skipped over everything
But Fiends are degenerate drug addicts against everything the Legion stands for and therefore the latter would massacre them
Yes after the stunning victory
Their corpses will be used to create the foundations of Caesar’s Palace
I'm gonna guess that the securitron factory underneath Fortification Hill is destroyed if there's no more securitrons in the Strip
So it's basically the NCR plus Freeside verses the Legion
I wouldn’t be sure of that, they may have just never been activated
For whatever reasons
Maybe. But you'd think House would have a protocol to keep subsystems running like his Securitrons to run Vegas while he's missing
If he knew the enclave did what they did, he was smart to play possum.
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Yeah but he needs someone to manually infiltrate the bunker to activate them
They'll just retcon that house has been msnufacting them or something
Ah, ah, ah, aah
Which may have never been possible depending on what happened post-Hoover Dam
Wasn't there like a mention that House's securitrons completely stopped taking orders from him or something in an interview
We know the Securitrons were upgraded but it's unclear if the bunker was ever used after the fact, so who knows.
House seems to be hiding from Max and Lucy so I think his game plan is to wait out the battle and see who wins
We haven't even seen the fort yet
We haven't even seen Hoover Dam too
idk if we even will tbh.
Until Fallout 5. Fingers crossed we get a map combining Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas if Bethesda locks in
What if the courier was a enclave controlled person? (The divide)
Hoover Dam isn’t immediately important to the current conflict so I doubt it’ll appear too
That'd be dumb as hell, because it invalidates every player choice if they're just an Enclave puppet the entire time.
Yeah im of the same belief.
I mean from the show it sorta looks that way
Yea but it was mentioned on the bos map
No one has even mentioned it the entire series. We don't know if its destroyed or not, or who's running it at the moment.
I have a theory that the battalion was located at Hoover Dam and that they were a garrison from the NCR that stayed there in order to ensure the dam wouldn't fall into Legion hands
It wouldn't make sense geographically, unless Rodriguez was lying though? She says the battalion was out East, not further West, and the Dam is further West of Vegas i believe.
Surely a weakened NCR wouldn't logically stay at such a hotspot - they'd choose somewhere safer I feel
That's also true, they'd be a lot smarter strategically. I imagine they've kept an eye on the Legion enough to know the Legion hasn't been in a position to take it, either.
West would put it closer to California
I know, she doesn't say they're out West, though. Is my point.
Assuming the pip boy map is north facing the dam should be on the eastern bit of the Mojave
Tbh I feel like their main threat would have been the khans - they mentioned 'khan territory' in the show which suggests they really were a genuine threat
Although wondering if they've lumped them with the fiends - khan's in the show looked doped up
Legion would be in their civil war mode
I imagine all 3 Legions, Khan, and BOS would be a threat - those airships would keep them on edge.
I don't think it is, though. Is the thing. At least not where they're located at in the scene.
The dam is east of Vegas
Yes, but they weren't in Vegas in that scene.
She doesn't say, "The Battalion is East of Vegas."
The dam is east of camp golf too, it's pretty far east compared to really any recognizable location we've seen
I understand that, but that's not where she's located when she makes the statement. lol
Where was that scene then? I don't remember noticing where it was located
Hmm did victor mention a direction for 'the hills' the rangers were in
It's by Goodsprings, we see Primm in the background.
Like the in-between area between Primm and Goodsprings.
Both of those spots are pretty far west
The battalion could've come from most anywhere in the Mojave if they were over there
Then what's the issue of the Battalion being at the Dam
The dam is in the east of Clark County and the Primm/Goodsprings area in the southwest
Cause the implication is that they're far away that she can't make contact and asks Cooper to do it, if they're still in the Mojave she reasonable can make contact with them in a shorter amount of time. Plus, if i remember correctly she also implies it's closer to Shady than in the Mojave?
I'm gonna rewatch the scene again, to double check.
I assumed they were just cut off and unable to retreat
Idk, I rewatched the scene where Cooper is with the three NCR soldiers, it appears to be in the middle of the day where the sun is in the South. If they're currently close to Primm, Hoover Dam would be roughly Northeast of their position.
Nobody gives a rats ass about the dam anymore 😔
There’s unlimited power chillin in the lucky 38
I need to re-watch, did he just leave the Gauss rifle there? Lmao
What a dumb move if so for multiple reasons
I genuinely don't see the connection. She says specifically East, not Northeast, and it makes zero sense if she's cut off from them for more than a Decade if it's that relatively close to them. I just don't buy it? Idk, I could be wrong, but we'll see I guess next season.
I don't know actually
If the entirety of the criteria is just 'east of primm' they could be anywhere in the southern Mojave really
I don't think they'll even explain it next season. At best, they'll Rodrigez say she and that other ranger randomly stumbled upon their battalion walking in the opposite direction of them.
Yeah this show has been notoriously vague overall
So they were just taking a hike around the desert then
I’m still confused about the implication of multiple assassination attempts on House he mentions
Like dawg, I know everything doesn't need an explanation, but the show has to still make things make sense
Everything has to be assumed by the audience now
The only explanation I got is that the battalion was outside the Mojave and the three soldiers got seperated then, and then 15 years later the battalion decided to return to the Mojave for some reason
I mean there's a good chance it's just coincidence that we can see other locations from their dirt camp given the fact that Victor at camp golf knew about them
Unless the implication is multiple Couriers. Lol
It's why i said, i think it's more of a joke/nod than a confirmation.
Courier mitosis
Or the Courier wanted to be creative with House's death
all our couriers are canon, that's why he said travellers, i knew it
Ulysses crying on the floor at the notion of there being multiple couriers
Well, he says multiple - Travelers - i feel like if it was one specific person he'd say Traveler/Wanderer etc etc.
He only has a grudge with one courier
Maybe after he was taken out by the Courier, a bunch of other people in sucession beat the shit out of House's corpse
Enter the Lucky 38, beat up House’s corpse for no reason, leave without elaborating
The idea of him being assassinated or attacked repeatedly at all raises eyebrows
To be fair, it was probably Freesiders who were fed up with his shit at one point
Yo is this the actual piece of paper?
Yes
Honestly when he was riling up the legion it was kind of lacking in enthusiasm
my brother boutta get nuked for a meme. Smh.
That a meme?
No
MR PRESIDENT!?
So in season 3 is it going to be based on NCR remnants vs Caesars legion.
thad the chad vs president krabs
VS Enclave, VS Brotherhood of Steel
Enclave is not in vegas anymore bro they are gone
Kevinus will annihilate the NCR until House has to step in
Enclave is gonna show up on Vertibirds, trust
He's gotta save his biggest customers, you know.
Where the fuck was he when Shady Sands was nuked 
They will not appear at all. Look at every game after 2. Not even 10 enclave soldiers
Probably dealing with the Deathclaws? Idk. He was awake/aware enough to know the Enclave put them there.
I despise the 25 quid paywall to use the ncr armour in 76.
But just like war. Can’t win without a sacrifice
The more bullshit part about that is them selling a 4 star legendary that's actually good behind a pay-wall.
I agree
Me using instead using mods to bring it into Fallout 4 where it’s actually functional and customizable
Oh yeah absolutely I have a ncr+minutemen type of thing
And I made codsworth a tank
God Bless the Minutemen.
Most realistic faction tied with the ncr
one missed paycheck and those fuckers are GONE
Though hopefully they’re not Quislings for the Brotherhood back East.
real
the minutemen arent realistic
Does the captain sayin they where wining the war because of the batallion then?
L
Get squashed on NCR scum
Chudderhood of Steal
Joke of a faction
Do you think the Chinese Caesar survived?
He’s in hiding, waiting for Kevinus to fail and the Legion to rally behind him
I like to imagine a legion outcast under the leadership of that Caesar
All Legion victims
Found the AT team
What the fuck, you're a spy too
Why are there so many fake NCR-ers in this server
The Ranger with a big iron on his hip solos
IMO The NCR was always hard-carried by the Rangers in their coolness factor. Operation Sunburst made the NCR super cool in my eyes even if the units we saw aren't canon
And tell me how is one fake?
Maybe Bethesda can throw SODAZ a bone and make new units for the NCR in Wasteland Warfare
The NCR doesnt really need new units. Just the rangers themselves and the numbers. They outnumber the factions but lose mainly due to poor logistics and overextending themselves trying to gain ground.
One ranger can give a man in power armor hell enough
Ncr just needs time to rebuild itself after the disaster that befalled them from the series and better logistics
And rn is ever such a pristine and rare opportunity for them with every other faction practically at war with itself. All except the legion ofc since they just reunited
Never theless the bear will kill em as they did before
The FNV release sold so abysmally that modi will likely never make an NCR or Legion set again
