fallout-tv-series

[minor lark]

Tbf. It was one glitchy one in the Sunset facility

[orchid lake]

I like to imagine he just delivered the chip and then noped out of the Mojave

[vale girder]

It was the safest option to go with and the most logical one.

[split gorge]

|| no, the "corpses" of the Securitrons infront of Vegas strip had the missile sections open, the missiles being a mk2 thing ||

[torpid ermine]

I guess we'll really see what ending it was after getting to know what Caesar wrote, what happened to House, and how the battle of hoover dam ended

[minor lark]

I didnt see any missiles open on the corpses. I'll have to rewatch

[split gorge]

|| I never saw the missiles themselves, just their open compartments where they're shot from ||

[torpid ermine]

There's only a handful of gripes I have with the show rn tbh

[minor lark]

Yeah I just dont remember seeing any of that. Just a regular one with a ripped out screen. But again, I'll have to rewatch

[torpid ermine]

Or it got the best ending, the wildcard ending

[vale girder]

They may make little nods to appease the fans of the games. No doubt and they will continue to do so. But they have not shown a player outcome in the grand scheme, same will be for Fallout 4. My personal opinion, the player rebuilds the Minutemen and they won’t include that as an outcome same way they haven’t included player outcomes for New Vegas

[orchid lake]

I'm just glad Caesar is dead

[split gorge]

But, if @vale girder 's theory of the player characters just never existing, is the show not canon or are the games not canon? Or are they doing a fnaf movie thing where it's a separate timeline/ version of the world. One where dinky is backwards

[torpid ermine]

The Legion was always going to die tbh

[vale girder]

https://tenor.com/view/thelionking-lionking-mufasa-longlivetheking-scar-gif-20263689

[orchid lake]

Nah I think the MM are putting a up a fight against the BoS as idk who else they'd still be fighting

Well, maybe the Enclave but eh

[torpid ermine]

Nah the players definitely existed, but I don't imagine you live long after getting shot in the head lol

[split gorge]

Maybe the railroad locked in.

[torpid ermine]

The courier probably did all he wanted during New Vegas, laid down in his bed nice and cozy one day, probably had a seizure and died

[orchid lake]

Naw I refuse to believe the Railroad is still around

[orchid lake]

Literally most accurate way he'd go out

[split gorge]

Yeah it was just a joke

Where are the children of Atom at though? That's the real question

[torpid ermine]

If the Khans are still around so is the railroad, just saying

[torpid ermine]

Underutilized faction imo

Still no sight of super mutants either in the show

[vale girder]

We saw one on a stretcher in the Enclave

[split gorge]

|| it was cool seeing the Kings though, I was hoping THE king wasn't feral though ||

[torpid ermine]

Bro was checked out tho

I need an adoring fan cameo in the show, NOW

[vale girder]

He was having a beauty nap before his big moment

[orchid lake]

The King got done dirty

[split gorge]

That's like seeing a deathclaw skull and claiming the deathclaw was in season one

[vale girder]

https://tenor.com/view/technically-mitchcutty-kevinmcgarry-heartland-gif-21999281

[torpid ermine]

Yeah, but idk how they ghoulified so quick

Literally 14 years since New Vegas

||Also, now the lore is hinting at Deathclaws being used in the war for Alaska? I know they were man made but pretty crazy turn of events||

How did they get to the whole rest of the wasteland though is a bigger question

[orchid lake]

I mean it makes sense, they were made for that

[torpid ermine]

Yeah, but no one knew about it, pretty nutty

You think it would be on a leash or something

[orchid lake]

Nah the Enclave just wanted a show

[torpid ermine]

I wouldn't doubt it

[split gorge]

|| when seeing the deathclaw I knew I had to listen to "Date with a deathclaw" by Open Minded ||

[torpid ermine]

I want to see the t51 power armor next since its showing Alaska tbh

And then Enclave armor, ||I know they already kinda leaked the NCR power armor||

[orchid lake]

Enclave PA is probably coming next season

[spring basin]

https://tenor.com/view/star-trek-william-shatner-agree-agreed-yes-gif-11651077510481431101

[torpid ermine]

That'd be sick

Basically 2 gripes right now:
||How did the kings ghoulify so quick? How and why did the NCR NOT stop the nuke from just walking into shady sands?? That was just dumb too imo.||

That would never have happened, gonna be fr, the NCR are annoying but they're not dumb

[woven scaffold]

Do you consider within 20 years to be quick?

[torpid ermine]

Yeah, ghoulification takes decades according to the lore

[woven scaffold]

It can be instant or take decades. It varies wildly depending on the person.

[orchid lake]

Could've just snuck through the border patrol or whatever

[torpid ermine]

Only exception is when you nuke megaton and Moira is standing in there still lmao

[torpid ermine]

Nah there's no way, dude was tweaked out and bleeding out repeating the same lines over and over again

[torpid ermine]

But to all of them? Idk bro

[split gorge]

Would the NCR even have border patrol?

[torpid ermine]

I don't think the NCR would let a nuke with a tweaker stroll right into shady sands -their capital, unvetted

If their new vegas outposts were pretty controlled, I don't see reason why their capital wouldn't, actual blunder

Everyone was having a day off?

[split gorge]

I figured (for some reason) they'd have a path just for any wasteland caravan to file into

But hey

It just works.

[vestal wigeon]

dude, watching the show while playing new vegas for the first time is so wild
like damn dude, that's the bottling facility i shut down in the game

and the iconic dinosaur statue from novac

[torpid ermine]

May the power of Atom smite Todd Howard for his plot inconsistencies

[forest fractal]

I liked the pre-war airship in anchorage. nice touch.

[ruby flint]

T 45 looks so good

Deathclaw!!!!!!

So the NCR is just scattered? Since shady sands was destroyed? Splinter groups to me it feels like

[orchid lake]

Nah they're still out there... Somewhere

[ruby flint]

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking too

Cause so far all we’ve seen are seperated groups

[tawny sage]

They likely are still around but lost a lot of territory

[ruby flint]

Commonwealth being the strongest makes sense

[tawny sage]

Commonwealth Brotherhood's biggest threat at this point is the Minutemen but the Minutemen are unlikely to be super interested in war with the Brotherhood

[ruby flint]

I think the minutemen and then teamed up

That’s why they are so strong they have control of the entire commonwealth

[tawny sage]

Maybe?
That requires the Minutemen to be cool with genocide

It's more likely they agreed to leave eachother alone

[orchid lake]

I mean the Minutemen probably are the threat they are apparently facing in the Commonwealth

[tawny sage]

It would be either them or the Enclave

[ruby flint]

The enclave is too weak

I think it might be institute remnants or I think Xander is just lying

He was clearly trying to get Maximus on his side

[tawny sage]

I'm betting on Xander just lying

[ruby flint]

Exceot there is an ending in fallout 4 where you can just leave the brithethood alone if you do the minutemen ending

[ruby flint]

That to me makes the most sense

[tawny sage]

Yeah but that's basically just them not fighting eachother

[orchid lake]

Or he's exaggerating

[ruby flint]

Yeah

[tawny sage]

I wonder if the show will ever show us what the Commonwealth now looks like

[orchid lake]

There probably is a threat but it's not as bad as they make it out to be

[ruby flint]

Future enterprise ventures is FEV experimentation

Tbh I think the show would’ve worked better as an anthology

[crude lichen]

i love literally everyone getting access to fev

you get FEV. I get FEV. We'll send FEV to the elementary schools.

[torpid ermine]

And 0 super mutants

[ruby flint]

It shouldn’t be that way but it’s funny

[torpid ermine]

FEV everywhere, 0 super mutants

[tawny sage]

Thoughts on the theory that Yesman is a backup of House?

[torpid ermine]

Doubt it

House is the guy, the real guy

https://tenor.com/view/i'm-the-guy-the-real-guy-spy-kids-elijah-wood-the-guy-gif-12362202819752358000

[tawny sage]

I will be honest House would do it

[tawny sage]

false I am in fact The Guy

[torpid ermine]

Yes Man was way too easily manipulated

So I doubt it with that

[ruby flint]

Not unless the independent ending is canon

[torpid ermine]

Wdym? Yes man was easily controlled by the courier for being a yes man lol

So even if the wildcard ending is canon, yes man is still more than likely not house

Plus you have to kill the actual house to get that ending

[ruby flint]

Have you played that ending?

Yes man litterally ends it by saying he’s rewriting his code so he can say no

Since house is likely alive tho that means the house ending is canon

[tawdry kernel]

The Matriarch farming Aura 😭

[ruby flint]

He was a yes man but now he isn’t

Like that’s the entire thing he says at the end of the game

[tawdry kernel]

Lurking since pre war

[ruby flint]

The kings being ghouls makes no sense

It’s cool but I hope they explain it. Same with Vegas being in shambles and freeside too

Like if it was uylesses or something or the tunnelers or something.

[orchid lake]

Looks like someone did a Camp Searchlight to Vegas/Maccarran based off the end credits

[ruby flint]

Yeah

[minor lark]

Lucy's Geiger was going off. Cooper mentioned radiation in the area.

[frozen badger]

Deathclaw infestation, rads, and the kings becoming ghouls.

[ruby flint]

Probably legion remnants?

I saw the end credits of the last episode with the Brutus poster

[orchid lake]

Yep the Legion probably did that during a desperate push during or shortly after the second battle for hoover dam

[minor lark]

I have theories, but im reserving till I see where the unnamed vault Hank is at is shown. I have a feeling House, the Enclave, and the city's vault all have a connection for the finale.

[ruby flint]

Brotherhood collapse is crazy

[dusky flicker]

what if vault tec has corpses in y-17 trauma harnesses protecting their stuff post war that’d be cooky
and itd be cool to have an old world blues thing

[frozen badger]

Imagine explaining e4 to a friend who doesnt know anything about fallout "||so he finds out hia wife is CANADIAN||"

[dusky flicker]

the canon courier seems like an absolute bellend i wonder how their lonesome road run went

[ruby flint]

How’d a deathclaw get into Vegas?

[dusky flicker]

he went to mick and ralph’s and bought a passport? heh? ever play the game? (fallout mew vegas?) /j

[ruby flint]

I think that’s who the guy in the ncr power armor is gunna be

[dusky flicker]

i just hope its a “im too old for ts” esque ncr guy

“just more matching jackets” yeah well your dumbass dad forgot the bear on the flag has two heads

[frozen badger]

The courier and nobark noonan (now confirmed to be the chosen one) as well as Nate from fo4 arrive and say "Together... we are the Fallout."

[ruby flint]

Lol lol

[dusky flicker]

lone wanderer shows up in his space ship hits a massive boof of jet, vaporizes the deathclaw and leaves

[frozen badger]

Lone wanderer is like 16 in 2277 so he wouldnt even be very old

Yknow it would be funny if the alaska flashbacks show Nate

[frozen badger]

Would be very very fanservice-y but still

[dusky flicker]

they go the gate, it slowly opens, revealing a single eyebot that says
“There’s your signal. Faint, but there. You came, good. Curious, maybe.”

[woven scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/solana-bull-bear-gif-11047367666450039956

Courier rides in.

[dusky flicker]

“You walked the Mojave without a flag on your back. That’ll end soon, cant walk the Long 15 Strip and not have a nation’s shadow fall on you.”

i guess the canon lonesome road ending is just talking to ulysses

which i need an official almanac on canon new vegas choices cus again, this courier was certainly a specimen

[forest fractal]

crazy beautiful.

[dusky flicker]

i love it

maximus is him

“fallout is a grimdark!! noone is wholly good nor evil!! factions are complex”
maximus not even a day after he found out his faction’s okay with child murder destroying it

[forest fractal]

and has the cold fusion. I wonder what will happen with it.

[dusky flicker]

i feel like maximus is doing one of my fav writing tropes which is using a faction’s ethos against them
like i feel like that scene in season 1 where maximus lets his knight day is wayyyy more important and gets increasingly so
like while he’s doing all of this i just think of “its a knight duty to better this fallen world”

[ruby flint]

It was insane

[ruby flint]

Exactly.

Maximus is funny cause things just keep happening to him

[dusky flicker]

he’s awesomely written because he isn’t a passive protagonist either, he’s an active protagonist who has the narrative stimulation of a passive one

so he’s given constant opportunities to move the plot forward and he takes every single one lmfao

https://tenor.com/view/lollipop-spongebob-squarepants-happy-glad-gif-13223159

me with thadeus

[mossy frigate]

Bruh I heard the main menu music for fallout 4 when they showed the ncr’s guns

[dusky flicker]

im tellin yall- the bear has two heads

fractured legion fractured brotherhood fractured ncr three way tarantella

[orchid lake]

The NCR is totally gonna show up again, remember that "Battalion out East" that was mentioned? I think they're coming

[boreal cave]

I dont understand why betty lied about vault 33 being empty?

[livid wasp]

People are too obsessed with factions NCR, brotherhood, legion. This is fallout if any of these groups became the head honchos we wouldn't have fallout anymore Im happy todd Howard isn't catering to any one group if we learned anything from the whole entire franchise is that war never changes.

[bleak crow]

Holy hell

[livid wasp]

I'm not gonna completely glaze him tho cuz he's wiping factions out way to fast

[bleak crow]

I got like 10:10 left to watch but goddamn

[livid wasp]

Enjoy it bro

[bleak crow]

After work. Got a few more hours i watched it on lunch break

[dusky flicker]

1,000%

[bleak crow]

I got a theory about dane

Pretty sure they're a spy for i though the commonwealth bos

But now im not sure

I definitely think they're a spy for some other faction though

[livid wasp]

My guess is that vault tec is gonna end up with the cold fusion and we'll have to wait for s3 for anymore real plot

[grand hamlet]

I loved it, it wasn't expected but you can't always take the BOS's stupidity into account

Not to mention how they fiercely hate each other

[dusky flicker]

vault tec being an antagonist feels a long time coming after years of exploring vaults, finding data that i supposed went nowhere

[ruby flint]

Real

[gray badger]

Was Lucy killing ghouls with a Radium Rifle?

[dusky flicker]

its like. super eerie actually
like the most important moments in post war history were just, perhaps products of experiments, or at least were always being silently watched by a third party thats allowed all of it up until
yk?
kinda love it

[livid wasp]

Exactly after years of destroyed vaults and failed experiments where's all that data going? Straight to Hank

[gray badger]

Also my opinion is that Vault Tec is gone, they're a red herring, everything is pointing to the Enclave imo

[dusky flicker]

vault tec is probably just straight up a part of the enclave

[gray badger]

We literally opened Season 1 with them

[dusky flicker]

the enclave probably used vault tec as a means for infiltrating and collaborating with the private sector

[gray badger]

Nah, otherwise Hank wouldn't have said what he said in the first episode imo, about Vault Tec not being around anymore

[lucid drift]

Guys I haven't beaten three yet but were there deathclaws in operation Anchorage?

[gray badger]

Pre war they were a cabal, but post war? Nah, I don't think so, just a single faction under the Enclave

[dusky flicker]

see THATS scary, the guy with access to a nuke is maybe just a middle man

[livid wasp]

I mean it's what vault tec does best sit wait and watch the enclave has always been interested in vault tec and what they have sooooo

[livid wasp]

Not in the game itself

[gray badger]

No, this is the first solid confirmation we have of them truly existing pre war

[lucid drift]

I could have sworn there were terminals that confirmed it already

[dusky flicker]

yeah they always existed pre war we just never knew if they were actually used

[livid wasp]

My guess is it's either an escaped deathclaw or was released as a test cuz cooper nor the guys on the radio knew Abt it plus it didn't have the deathclaw control gear the enclave used in fallout 3

[dusky flicker]

just normal us army snafu

log 1 ://:
we did it! we finally created a dangerous apex predator bio weapon capable of thriving in any environment, and intelligent enough to understand orders!

log 2 ://:
it escaped

[frozen badger]

Re4 regenerators?😂

[lucid drift]

Isnt this basically the terrormorphs in starfield

[livid wasp]

I'm surprised the Mojave is even habitable anymore so many deathclaws everywhere the strips a nest bro

[lucid drift]

Cito survived the safari park with all those gatorclaws

[livid wasp]

With the help of ghoulrillas and without the sole survivor he was not making it much longer let alone Nuka world

[gray badger]

Alluded, yes

[dusky flicker]

honestly the only real trade other than gambling in the mojave was prospecting
novac seems deserted, so im inclined to believe with not even the strip surviving being consumed by the wasteland, that the mojave isn’t really as heavily inhabited anymore

[livid wasp]

All these dying factions fighting for land that's been picked over hundreds of times that's what fallout is I mean id say the Mojave isn't worth prospecting anymore but hey ig all it takes to find a super weapon in the fallout universe is flipping over a rock.

[dusky flicker]

ya never know

[lucid drift]

Gotta say though, Lucy on drugs is 10/10

[dusky flicker]

mojave
mo problems

[livid wasp]

Agreed all it took was a lil buffout to make her a full on wastelander

[vivid meadow]

I just realized when we eat blamco mac n cheese in game we’re just eating hard uncooked pasta 😭

[lucid drift]

Having also watched Arcane all I saw was Jinx

[dusky flicker]

my courier hitting all of my psycho and buffout before going into vault 3 and becoming a metal gear rising character

[livid wasp]

Also am I dumb or was that the king that she shot the ghoul with the guitar

[dusky flicker]

this is why he is considered the king of rock

[livid wasp]

The props are peak honestly

[dusky flicker]

wellma wellma welllll its fallout amazon tiiiime

[lucid drift]

Watching this show just tells me I gotta play more fo3 and nv and maybe the older games

[livid wasp]

If Amazon just straight up sold the props from the show they'd have my life savings

[vivid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/severance-dance-party-gif-25221212

[dusky flicker]

Mmmmmm chip

[lucid drift]

Is it bad that i might replace Hancock as my favorite ghoul with Cooper?

[dusky flicker]

what do you mean its not canon that my drugged up courier stormed caesar’s fort with his cyborg dog and ptsd-ridden-widower battle buddy

[livid wasp]

Steph being Canadian shook me to my core so scary

[lucid drift]

My dad, a Canadian hater, is gonna love that when he sees it

[crisp grail]

they often do but its many years later- they sold off the Endgame and Infinity War stuff last year in Atlanta for charity

[livid wasp]

I really hope Mr. House is alive but the courier just put him back in his pod and took away his controls would love to see Cooper's interaction with him after that maybe house would clear up what happened

[dusky flicker]

im kind of proud of myself for homebrewing my colorado brotherhood chapter as wary of everyone including other brotherhood chapters after this episode

[livid wasp]

I wonder who's airship got shot out of the sky

[lucid drift]

I think we can rule out the prydwyn

[livid wasp]

Also was it just me or was there a vertibird flying straight at them as they were running

If so def quintus coming for that cold fusion doubt it tho

I know this is from last episode but who do u guys think the brotherhoods fighting still in the Commonwealth?

[dusky flicker]

everyone probably they had awful intentions in the commonwealth
kill everyone, get their lick, leave

because their leader is a roided up 20 year old with issues

[livid wasp]

Xander did have that good old maxon hate of ghouls so yeah ur right probably everything that isn't a pure blooded human sounding pretty enclave like to me....

[dusky flicker]

basically everyone a part of maxon’s company was fiercely loyal to him and his ideology

my headcanon is minuteman ending and subsequent war with brotherhood

i think “brotherhood wins” is too simple given how the writers tackled new vegas

the fallout if you will, of new vegas,,,;

[livid wasp]

Knowing Todd he'd probably take back all the endings and say nah the railroad and the institute are still here just tiny groups that cause trouble like what he's doing with the ncr and legion

[dusky flicker]

idk why todd gets all the credit i think hes just “yeah sure” with the writers’s ideas lmao

[livid wasp]

He always gets all the credit cuz when I comes down to the public speaking for anything truly big he does it y'know every tiny thing is someone random but when a new game or something huge comes out it's "all him" baby

[dusky flicker]

he’s the wallet and the dad instead of asking for v bucks money its story permission

[livid wasp]

Now watch me get banned for talking Ill of our god

[dusky flicker]

godd howard

[livid wasp]

If we ever do get a fallout New York I fully believe the statue of Liberty will end up being a super weapon probably not a liberty prime which would be hilarious but def something

[stable loom]

But it's not all about him. It shouldn't be all about him – he shouldn't freaking take credit for what other people did.

[dusky flicker]

whose laughin’ now???

……… yes he was in the chess club.

[crisp grail]

https://x.com/PaulTassi/status/2008980288299561379

Sassy Tassi says no one likes Fallout- whatever shall we do

Paul Tassi (@PaulTassi)

Fallout was this huge hit, but I feel like I never see anyone talking about season 2 on here. It’s still good!

X · Jan 7, 2026, 7:13 PM

[plush quest]

There’s Lady Liberty power armor coming to 76 lol

[dusky flicker]

who cares

[plush quest]

It’s because Twitter sucks now Paul

[dusky flicker]

thats not even what he said either lmao

[livid wasp]

I have never and will never use Twitter ever to the point I won't even justify using it's new name

[dusky flicker]

i use it because im trying to be an artist and kind of have to in order to have a platform but since i havent been drawing i haven’t been posting

[plush quest]

I only follow official corporate twitter accounts because they still seem to think that’s the best way to provide live updates about their game/services

Even though I’ve never been on time or seen a live announcement tweet be tweeted and always find out about it after the fact

[dusky flicker]

wtf happened in lonesome road

[livid wasp]

I still think it's crazy that our first actual look into new York post war was an ad for enamel pins

[dusky flicker]

im being so serious did the courier just speech check ulysses

[plush quest]

The Ghoul, Lucy, and Hank would’ve had to come from that way no? My NV lore is shoddy so idk where the Lonesome Road actually is

[livid wasp]

Ooooooo it'd probably make alot of sense if the courier ended up launching both nukes to ncr and legion territory at least for the show

[dusky flicker]

its death valley

[dusky flicker]

well the legion doesn’t mention being nuked and the only nuke we currently know of is shady sands, and having two would feel kind of redundant from a writing perspective

[plush quest]

I kinda wish we learned how Thaddeus ended up in the Mojave. He kind of just spawned there at the beginning of the season

[livid wasp]

We're sitting here worried about deathclaws on the strip we're still waiting for the tunnelers to pull up one day and it's just straight over after that

[dusky flicker]

if we see tunnelers im getting a noise complaint

the soyest soy face that ever soyed

[plush quest]

The Ghoul seems to be really affected by the sight of a deathclaw. Is that PTSD from his time in Anchorage? Or has he just never had to face one before?

[livid wasp]

My head cannon is he got a ride with someone random caravan and yapped the whole way till they kicked off

[livid wasp]

Probably anchorage imagine hundreds of years of being alive and seeing unimaginable horrors and the only thing that scares you is the nightmare you saw pre war

[plush quest]

That’d be a neat character flaw to have in The Ghoul. He’s been kind of impossible to throw off until now

Like how Indiana Jones has a phobia of snakes

[livid wasp]

That again any joe shmoe would be scared to death of a deathclaw he's just had a hell of a lot longer time to be afraid

[versed path]

Holy cliffhanger

[plush quest]

Next ep is gonna start off with a banger fight scene

Or chase scene

[versed path]

||my theory is hank mcclain put the deathclaws there, or they just moved in from quarry junction ||

[plush quest]

||My theory is that they’re the product of a radiation/FEV attack on the strip. Which is why the Kings are all ghouls now||

[versed path]

cause if the chip did get to house, i feel like his army of securitrons with missiles and grenades would be able to

[gleaming pendant]

Securitrons would says no and fire a rocket barrage, unless they are not mkII?

[versed path]

Deathclaws are pre-war oddly, atleast in their origins

[plush quest]

Even then they were still just mutated Jackson chameleons which were a popular pet before the war. Someone at Gomorrah might’ve had one

[versed path]

an FEV attack would mean everyone would be super mutants or worse

Then again like, if even the GHOUL doesn't know what happened, it must've been quite recent

[livid wasp]

The only safe place on the strip or nearby is probably free side or vault 21 since y'know vault

[plush quest]

We’ve gotten too many mentions of Freeside to not go there. We already know something’s gonna happen at the wrangler

The question now is who’s in charge?

[gleaming pendant]

Wouldn’t the lucky 38 make sense? Before NV the building was closed and no one could enter if they would have wanted to. Why shouldn’t it be back to this closed down state?

[versed path]

Im hoping (unlikely)|| that they are able to reclaim the strip, watching one of the best locations in any fallout game get wasted is sad to me||

[dusky flicker]

that and also its a deathclaw

[versed path]

Nice pfp.

[dusky flicker]

Nice pfp.

[livid wasp]

That's if you could get inside in the first place if house is still alive I doubt he'd let anyone in regardless of attack or not

[versed path]

||I'm pretty sure house is alive, considering the ghoul was expecting a welcoming party||

Im more so confused on if the chip got delievered or not.

||We saw a snip bit of the securitrons face at the bottle factory but.||

[livid wasp]

It'd be great if they got up there and it's just yes man on the big screen talking about how everything that happened is just a big set back and everything will be back to normal in a jiffy

[versed path]

I want them to mention the courier but

My hopes are low tho

[livid wasp]

I hope the boomers are fine it'd be fun to just see the bomber flying in the background and have the ghoul give a lil nod after Lucy asks what's up with that?

Highly doubt it tho in a perfect world

[versed path]

If the boomers aren't fine, the mojave in itself is done for bro

Against the average wasters and what not, they have enough explosives to turn the strip into nothing

Along with a literal bomber

[plush quest]

If that weird Argentinian promo ad is to be believed, the Khans are on the rise.

[versed path]

Which is one of the only functioning aircrafts in fallout outside of brotherhood

[plush quest]

I don’t think Novac was all of them

[livid wasp]

That's if the courier recruited them in the first place or destroyed them

[versed path]

Most couriers chose to help them i thinkers

[rain matrix]

Dawg thadeuss 😂

[plush quest]

I know they were playing it up for the laughs, ||but Thaddeus shouldn’t have kept his cover for that long.||

[versed path]

One of maxsons acting like that would've been shot on sight LOL

Atleast we know he's still alive

[livid wasp]

I fully thought Thaddeus was gonna be like hey guys let's not argue let's hug it out than accidentally crush both they're heads in

[plush quest]

The Yosemite Elder was ready to stab a BoS

[versed path]

how come maximus didn't just stand in the line of gun fire and spam his stimpack button, is he dumb!?

[plush quest]

He ran out. Accidentally forgot to lock it and it auto-stored into his medbox

[livid wasp]

Crazy how he ran out of the room as quintus ran out of ammo I mean I get he didn't have the guts to kill him anyway but dude worst timing

[plush quest]

It’s consistent with his motives though. He doesn’t think through at all and things just keep happening.

[versed path]

i really want the courier to be teased in any sense, a wasteland tale, boogieman story.

kind of like the DUST mod

[plush quest]

I honestly hope they don’t do much player character fan service. The story is centered around Lucy, Maximus, and The Ghoul’s adventures. Not the courier’s

An offhanded mentioned would be cool, but not necessary imo

[versed path]

I don't mean like, a whole lot.

The courier is geniunely just a pyschopath in game bro

[livid wasp]

I mean he does have intelligence 4 and luck 5

[versed path]

One way or another, caesar was killed because of him, or cancer.

[plush quest]

I doubt they’ll ever show a live action depiction of any of our player characters, Sole Survivor included

It kind of goes against the whole “you can be whoever you want” aspect of an rpg series

[versed path]

sole survivor atleast has a canon face, being the standard nate.

but i hope we never SEE the courier.

[livid wasp]

Honestly we kind of did just get a dumbed down version of the dust mod things got messed up but not that bad

[vivid meadow]

Anyone else wish we got longer episodes. All that really got moving with this one was the brotherhood plotline

[plush quest]

I wish we got episodes that better balanced multiple storylines

There were like 5 or 6 storylines in this one all competing for air time

[livid wasp]

We'll probably get more actual plot now that the brotherhoods at war with itself

I honestly really hope we don't get a fallout New Vegas 2 now at least after everything that's happened with the show

[plush quest]

Ep 1 and 2 did it right with one ep being a vault tec centric episode and another being a BoS/House centric episode

[versed path]

i'd geniunely just pass away bro.

[plush quest]

a NV 2 would do an infinitely better job at explaining all the missing holes we’ve seen from the show tbh

We have to fill in A LOT with very few context clues as it is right now

[vivid meadow]

Yeah but i mean, nothing really happened in the vault, nothing really happened with norm and his popsicles, something was about to happen with lucy and the ghoul but they ended it on a cliffhanger.

It’s all just set up for the next episode which sucks when you gotta wait a week for each one.

[plush quest]

I don’t think all of it will be satisfyingly addressed by the end of the season without some lengthy exposition dumps

[livid wasp]

I'm hoping for either back to east coast like but more south or the Midwest Maybe Texas

[vivid meadow]

Honestly i’d prefer the season being released in chunks like stranger things season 5 than the weekly release format

[plush quest]

Three 3 episodes chunks would’ve been nice

[livid wasp]

My guess big cliff hanger for next season

[vivid meadow]

Or atleast 1 hour episodes instead of 45 minutes

Also is it even possible for someone to get addicted to medication they took while unconcious?

[plush quest]

Yeah it’s very common with opioids

[versed path]

I just want my FNV REMAKE

Please bethesda i will buy the pre-pre order if you make an fnv remake

[livid wasp]

I hope we get Neil instead of Marcus at free side i feel like it would make more sense since if the courier helps Rhonda and Tabitha Neil would have nowhere else to go Marcus still has a whole town to protect

[vivid meadow]

I think it would’ve made more sense if she was awake and the ghoul stuffed her with drugs to keep her alive or if she was still in pain. The whole addiction thing feels like it’s just there so they can show off a game mechanic.

[versed path]

All I hope is that its played by ron pearlman

Ron has played a role in every fallout game to date, whether it be a character or the intro

[plush quest]

It’s definitely a lighter take on the actual realities of drug addictions, I’m honestly really surprised Bethesda and Amazon signed off on so much pro-drug messaging

Given that the negative consequences of drug use and manufacturing is highlighted in every game

[versed path]

In the words of russianbadger...Thats Vegas Baby!

[livid wasp]

I doubt it since Ron pearlman is like 75 and has said he knows just Abt nothing Abt the games but maybe he does still want to play Hellboy in the next movie whenever that comes out

[versed path]

Let me DREAM.

[lilac sequoia]

Ron Pearlman is definitely playing a Super Mutant

[red forge]

Actors don't need to know about games to play the part.

Just look at Goggins.

[lilac sequoia]

I would argue it depends on the material

[vivid meadow]

Also with elder maxson still being alive in the commonwealth and him presumably having no siblings or cousins that officially rules out all but 2 canon endings

[versed path]

Thank you captain irrelevant

[red forge]

It's all on the writers.

[lilac sequoia]

Games are no different than Books. It depends what book and game for how aware the actors should be imo

[red forge]

So why do you think Goggins got the part?

[livid wasp]

Yeah they'd probably just have to pay him enough

[plush quest]

My money is that it’s the Minutemen Ending where the BoS didn’t get their hands on a functioning Liberty Prime. That’s why they need Cold Fusion, because they never got the Beryllium Agitator

[lilac sequoia]

Ofc not but im saying Fallout shouldnt always be the definitive rule of "Actors dont need to play the games" because it worked only because Fallout is more extensive about world building versus deep story

[versed path]

I really hope its not this because I love prime so much

They could still need cold fusion regardless. It's limitless power.

[plush quest]

They still likely have it, if not currently activated it’s probably sitting in a hanger somewhere

[orchid lake]

Makes sense, then the Minutemen would also be the group that they seem to be struggling against

[versed path]

Who doesn't want limitless power

[vivid meadow]

Originally i thought they were gonna go with the angle that even if you destroy the brotherhood, another chapter eventually forms or makes their way, but maxson being alive debunks that.

[livid wasp]

Archemides would solo prime the second he stepped into Vegas but still he is goated

[plush quest]

Possibly not. It could be the Enclave

[lilac sequoia]

If you're going to adapt games like The Last Of Us. A game very heavy on drama. I believe the actors in some way should be aware of the part they are playing which people like the Actress for Ellie did play.

And even if they dont play the games. Those actors probably saw in-game cinematics to understand the context

[crisp grail]

fun fact, Kumail definitly played the games

He was on Colbert the other day talking about how he was supposed to someone else in Season 1 but the schedule didnt work - and they called him back up for season 2 later but in his remarks, talked about how much he loves and plays Fallout

[versed path]

dude they should get aaron paul to play a character

[orchid lake]

I mean it's a 50/50 honestly, although it could also be both

[lilac sequoia]

Walton Goggins is not playing an adaptation of a character from the games. He plays a character of the Fallout Show he doesnt need to play the games

[vivid meadow]

What are the chances the sole survivor appears but they’re wearing brotherhood power armor so you cant see what they look like or tell their gender.

[versed path]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GMwMYyRWYAAVula.jpg

[orchid lake]

I want to see them in Minutemen T-45

[livid wasp]

Who do u think Aaron Paul should play?

[plush quest]

You know Kumail smokes fat blunts and runs the wasteland in his off time

[crisp grail]

Goggins in a lot of ways, is just playing Goggins, but thats why they cast him- he's the ultimate Western actor

[versed path]

The role he plays best! A junkie in the atomic wrangler!

[lilac sequoia]

Its also because Fallout is its own story and not directly adapting the games plots just using them for story beats

like if they were adapting imo the games. Then actors would have to understand the character they adapt. But nobody in this show is playing a character from the games besides House

[vivid meadow]

It could also be that all fallout 4 endings are canon, but the sole survivor is taking 9 years to wrap up the main story instead of 2 weeks

[lilac sequoia]

Mr House the actor probably is aware of the games as he's had to listen to dialogue before playing him

[livid wasp]

And he sells Dixons jet who's played by Bryan Cranston

[orchid lake]

Yeah but still all that matters is that the actors care about the quality of their work and the show, which Goggins does

[plush quest]

Goggins seems pretty uninterested in learning all about the deep lore in the game and it suits his character for it

[versed path]

i'd love this so much

[plush quest]

He wouldn’t actually know or care about the deep intricacies of NCR/Legion politics

[orchid lake]

Lmao

[crisp grail]

oh god, Aaron Paul cooking jet in the middle of the desert

[lilac sequoia]

and im saying none of these characters are playing a character from the games except Mr House.

[red forge]

He's said that he doesn't want existing lore to dictate his delivery.

[orchid lake]

Or the Enclave

[versed path]

A producer of the fallout show did said a westward and breaking bad actor wanted a role in the show

[lilac sequoia]

U do not need to play the games imo if ur playing unique characters to the show

[plush quest]

He might care about the Enclave, but only to the extent that he needs to for his character

[vivid meadow]

It’s another installment in the overarching story of the games.

[orchid lake]

Ik, I'm saying that all that matters is they care that their work is good and the show is of good quality which, so far, all the actors do

[livid wasp]

Bob odenkirk as yesman

[crisp grail]

James Marsden wouldnt be bad either as the cowboy, Goggins though i think was the best choice

[versed path]

I know it wouldn't ever happen in history for obvious reasons, but aaron paul playing the courier.

[orchid lake]

Yk it'd be funny if a scene like the one where you contact the random Enclave soldier in Fallout 2 happened

[vivid meadow]

I thought thaddeus was about to mutate and burst out of the suit when he started getting the panic attack.

[livid wasp]

Honestly I feel like alot of people would like that I would

[plush quest]

He does a lot of acting work and has a bunch of high class rich people hobbies. Probably doesn’t have time to since 80 hours into a Fallout game even if he wants to

[versed path]

I mean I feel like he'd be a good fit in all honesty.

He's kinda got the build in terms of body that i'd imagine the courier having.

He's an outgod amazing actor

[orchid lake]

Tbh the only time we should see the Courier he should be carrying a ton of random stuff while run-jumping to get away from a horde of feral ghouls and raiders while screaming every profanity in the book

[livid wasp]

(The CIA put a chip in my brain.)
Vault tec put a chip in my brain.

[plush quest]

The courier should be blurred out like bigfoot imo. Completely incomprehensible

[versed path]

In my opinion? I think an awesome way to show the courier without even really showing him would just be while they are talking to mr house in his big upstairs area, the camera pans over to a red set of goggles staring from a dark room

[orchid lake]

They both did

[versed path]

It wouldn't quite show off the courier, hides most of the features, but you just know its them

[plush quest]

I don’t want the show to show off the courier. It’s not their story

[livid wasp]

His appearance would probably be like Lucy trips and falls then they help her up and walk away and the only reason we know it's them is cuz they're wearing the couriers duster but they never show the face

[versed path]

Should you not quote the author that gave the basis for your story to begin

[plush quest]

It’s just too fan service-y imo

[versed path]

I feel like

he should atleast be mentioned, at the very least. I don't want him to be shown in all honesty.

[plush quest]

The whole point of an rpg, especially NV’s case, is that the courier could be anyone you want them to be

[versed path]

he's kinda the wastelands version of like, the boogieman

[livid wasp]

God we all sound like NPCs from fallout the frontier just glazing the courier when he hasn't even done anything significant to the story yet

[livid wasp]

Another mysterious stranger

[versed path]

No matter what ending happens really- the courier does some horrible stuff regardless

[plush quest]

That’s my point, there’s not really a reason to mention the courier at all so far this season other than to service the fans

[versed path]

Plenty of factions destroyed or wiped out because of him

[orchid lake]

Lmao

[versed path]

listen ill glaze the courier all i want 😢

[livid wasp]

If I was the courier I'd just take all of my companion to big MT and hangout with the brains and personalitys in the sink and just chill

[versed path]

The lobotomite returns!

idk about you but my courier was a shotgun slinging menace who sent deathclaws up into colorado

[livid wasp]

Everyone talks about the courier showing up in the show but I would love to just get any of the companions

[versed path]

Boone would be awesome honestly.

Doubt around lily

[orchid lake]

The Courier should literally just be a total badass or in an extremely familiar situation as all of us has been in

[versed path]

imagine we see him talking to Malcom Holmes

[livid wasp]

If Boone saw what happened to the ncr bro deaf killed himself

[dusky flicker]

boone in the ncr battalion

[dusky flicker]

HARD disagree
boone wouldn’t khs

[versed path]

Who won the lottery I DID!!

*Vats lock on effect

[dusky flicker]

he’d find some way to die

[vivid meadow]

I wonder if they’ll ever show vats in the show

[dusky flicker]

*empty ap sound effect

[dusky flicker]

i think the slow mo during the action scenes is a nod

[vivid meadow]

Yeah but thats more rhe drugs than vault-tech assistance

[versed path]

Dude the best way to have boone be mentioned without even showing him, next time we see the legion just have a few get their scalps tossed off with a scope glare in the distance

He'd much rather kill legion than khs

[vivid meadow]

I think they’d probably have lucy look through a camera on her pip boy while aiming her gun and it’ll show the hit chance percentages

[livid wasp]

It's be hilarious to see Oliver swanick in the atomic wrangler playing the slots then winning the lottery a second time. Would be disappointed tho since that would mean the shows courier didn't instantly blow his head off

[dusky flicker]

i meant in the whole show

[versed path]

Its canon the courier blew olivers head off. I refuse to believe otherwise.

[red forge]

This is what I've been arguing since forever.
Games like Fallout are effectively "choose your own adventure", whereas TV/movie media are fixed plot.
This is why I felt the writers would be "damned if do, damned if don't" of whichever ending they choose.

[dusky flicker]

exactly

[livid wasp]

If he didn't they'd def have the ghoul do it

[versed path]

You can't convince me its not true.

[versed path]

Ykw I would love to see. I want maximus to go to the ruins of nipton and just see a skeleton of a powder ganger with no head by the road

[orchid lake]

Omg that'd be perfect

[orchid lake]

That would be epic

[livid wasp]

All these years and still he hasn't collected enough star bottle caps

[orchid lake]

Nah man Oliver is just canonically getting obliterated, that's a cannon event

[versed path]

In every play through i've done.

Low Karma
High Karma
Legion
House
NCR
Yes-Man

I take oliver swannicks fat head off his body

[dusky flicker]

powder gangers are ops on sight

[orchid lake]

I only do TTW so I just use the myriad of weapons I have to annihilate him in so many different ways

[dusky flicker]

even in evil playthroughs they are Taken Care Of

[versed path]

I love the euclid c finder personally

imagine we see lucy pick it up LOL

Just walking around the atomic wrangler, picks up the euclid and just thinks it looks neat

[livid wasp]

I hope the followers of the apocalypse are ok they're one of my favorites

[dusky flicker]

itd be hilarious if they’re perfectly fine

[livid wasp]

Finds it on the ground "I think some kid dropped they're toy"

[versed path]

That would be awesome.

Though in my canon i think the courier always activates archimedes.

[dusky flicker]

ghoul looks at it like its the one ring

[versed path]

I doubt it tho but it'd be awesome

my courier is borderline self insert and BRERROTHER

[livid wasp]

He'd hate most of my decisions tho so he gets to stay safe in the lucky 38 after I've finished for auld lang syne cuz if he didn't my pookie would hate me

[dusky flicker]

ugh. someone should Put Me Out of My Misery

[torpid ermine]

Why haven't we seen poseidon energy now that I think about it

Mr. Fantastic is somewhere around New Vegas right now with his theoretical degree in physics

[lilac sequoia]

not important to the plot rn

Helios One also isnt very important to the Brotherhood either probably because it either no longer functions or was considered uninteresting

[torpid ermine]

Or destroyed

[orchid lake]

Yeah I mean it makes sense they would

[livid wasp]

Isn't it cannon that no matter who wins mr.fantastic somehow survives

[lilac sequoia]

it was in the background

[dusky flicker]

its probably totally annihilated by prospectors and fiends without the ncr or a faction protecting it

[orchid lake]

He's probably still living the life

[versed path]

I wanna hear this in the background at the atomic wrangler.

[torpid ermine]

I must have missed it

[lilac sequoia]

yea it was like a quick clip

[torpid ermine]

Mr Fantastic is out there right now

[dusky flicker]

hell the great khans might have it, they were in novac

[versed path]

even if we don't see him, i wanna hear someone talk about their theoretical degree in physics

[torpid ermine]

Same

[orchid lake]

And he's watching

[livid wasp]

Theoretically

[dusky flicker]

there’s always someone behind the wheel…

[orchid lake]

Cuts to Fantastic literally behind a wheel trying to move a car

[livid wasp]

Somehow he's chilling at the top of the lucky 38 with his deathclaw army to protect him

[torpid ermine]

"When in Rome"

[dusky flicker]

its the austin power’s shuttle hallway bit where he can’t turn around

[torpid ermine]

Mr Fantastic was secretly Mr House

[broken juniper]

He uploaded himself to House’s mainframe and chamber so now his face is on the big monitor in the lucky 38

[dusky flicker]

i was so sad that when hank had the coffee he didnt say “damn good cup of coffee” 💔

i love twin peaks 💔

You know what I would unironically love to see too??

The bombers theoretically have their plane too btw

[versed path]

Your rides over, mutie. Time to die.

If frank horrigan wasnt 100% loyal to the enclave he'd be with the BOS next

[livid wasp]

I'm so happy to have found my people

[vivid meadow]

I wanted to see maximus kill quintus instead of getting all emotional

[torpid ermine]

The BOS would never let any sort of super mutants among their ranks unfortunately

[versed path]

they will never show maximus i feel

[torpid ermine]

Quintus is probably gonna die this season

[dusky flicker]

we need more power armor discourse, give the enclave x01 x02 and T-65

[versed path]

mr fantastic could figure that one out bro

[torpid ermine]

Nah give them giddyup buttercup power armor

[livid wasp]

Never say never they may not let them join fully but they seemed chill enough to let Fawkes and strong hang around so at least it's not kill on site

[dusky flicker]

i love t65

[orchid lake]

Fr

[dusky flicker]

i should get into fallout 76

[versed path]

Here is my theory ok, with the new F76 season they dropped the new power armor paint, which is enclave XO1 tesla.

Now. Not to get my hopes up..

[torpid ermine]

Enclave power armor is only going to show up if the faction shows up, which is unlikely rn at least

[livid wasp]

I'm happy they made T-45 absolutely garbage in the show pretty accurate to F4

[dusky flicker]

we got bigger jackson chameleons to punch

[broken juniper]

Live action T-45 was so cool

[dusky flicker]

we got bigger positions to assume

[torpid ermine]

Isn't the strongest power armor the inferno armor

[broken juniper]

Here’s to hoping T-51 shows up in S3

[versed path]

Strongest power armor is hellfire

[torpid ermine]

Oh yeah that's what I meant

[versed path]

Its like 200 smth years in the making

or wtv the lore vid i watched said

[torpid ermine]

The newest power armor yeah

[dusky flicker]

t-65 is the best pre war i thinkkkk..? cus secret service

[torpid ermine]

But the x01, t51, and the ncr ranger armor are my favorite in the series

[livid wasp]

Then some Chinese ghoul remnant in a random bunker reverse engineer it into something 10x better somehow

[versed path]

If you're talking about 76 thats wrong

[ruby flint]

Deathclaws

[torpid ermine]

How tasty are they

[ruby flint]

Amazing.

[uneven bay]

deathclaws are weak

[livid wasp]

Nah just a hypothetical

[torpid ermine]

Theoretical degree in physics

[dusky flicker]

coulda swore it was armor used by the secret service to guard the US’s gold

[ruby flint]

Possibly but most fallout 76 armor like the ultractite and excavator were only made post war

[livid wasp]

God I would love to see a live action scorch beast

[ruby flint]

I think secret service is the same

[broken juniper]

Please Bethesda

[versed path]

never was put in production

Plans are found for it, but none were ever made

[broken juniper]

I need just one creature to show up before S2 ends

if anything we are more likely to see a cazador than a deathclaw considering location

Fallout 67 confirmed

which episodes

[livid wasp]

67?

[granite lark]

meh, new vegas is dead, what else they killed in this season?

[dusky flicker]

[torpid ermine]

Always gonna happen with the tunnelers imo

i thought this said mr new vegas and I nearly cried.

[granite lark]

why modern writers have a fetish for big death factions?

[torpid ermine]

Actually, where is that dude?

[granite lark]

The thing is: we don't know, it was implied but never showcased

[broken juniper]

It made me tear up hearing Mr New Vegas again in that Christmas playlist they dropped

I mean Mr New Vegas is still kicking ain't he since the Christmas thing they did

[uneven bay]

with no context

[torpid ermine]

I do not remember this line tbh

[granite lark]

is mentioned by ulysses but never showcased in the main game. so this mean things might evolved in a different outcome

[versed path]

This is a line from fallout 2 lol

[uneven bay]

then who cares

[torpid ermine]

Oh yeah LMAO

[versed path]

Its a low intelligence line that you say to frank horrigan

I love ulysses too but Im not listening to a 30 minute scene on him talking about the bear and the bull

be so fr ulysses is 100% still alive in the fallout show

[dusky flicker]

“new vegas 2 with mr house” i guess bro 🥀

"Common story around here."

[dusky flicker]

why are you even in the channel lmao

[granite lark]

so you want just toxic positivity and praise the show as the best ever show made?

Why are any of us in this channel we've strayed so far from talking abt the show

[dusky flicker]

you arent being critical though. you literally said “new vegas 2 with mr house”

thats the most corporate easy idea oat

It's a partnered server, there's lots in game that cannot be done/said here.

[tidal tendon]

This is a partnered Discord server. Different rules. Ones you agreed to when joining the server.

[broken juniper]

You censor your curses like Lucy and other vault dwellers do (it’s just like the show🤯)

[versed path]

Okie dokie!

[granite lark]

You see the point is the people who played new vegas for years, hoping to see a sequel, they will not get what they expected. Returning factions, new one, returning characters but this season is just a reboot and also a death of Fallout New Vegas. For many is just character assasination.
Sure it has some good scenes but the execution is slow

[dusky flicker]

10,000 radroaches: come outside

[livid wasp]

I'm not arguing I've yet to break any rule just trying to keep the vibe

[dusky flicker]

good i dont want what i expected

[versed path]

I don't think..anyone wanted a sequel to new vegas. Not sure if thats just me

The story ended, the title cards played. The story of new vegas was over there.

[livid wasp]

Yeah especially not now after the show

[torpid ermine]

"Yeah well, whoever you are, I just dispatched a verti-assault team to your location. Have a nice day."

[orchid lake]

Reee

[uneven bay]

yall acting like the show is over tf

[dusky flicker]

the “sequel” to new vegas is lonesome road, it restates the game’s thesis and concludes it

[orchid lake]

Angry Enclave soldier was peak

[red forge]

Oh this made me realise something...
Lucy ||got her Okie Dokie from The Ghoul. The Chinese soldiers quoted it to Cooper while he was on the ground, as if they were quoting his meta character.||

Only problem is Ulysses is in it

[dusky flicker]

WRONG

I want new stories in new places

[versed path]

The President of the United-freaking-States-of-America. Who'd you think i was talking about? Who the fu - Who is - What - I should kick your behind, who is this?

[torpid ermine]

Well now that Obsidian and Bethesda are both owned by Microsoft, and they just rehired Tim Caine, are we finally going to get a new west coast fallout game?

[livid wasp]

This chat is slowly devolving

[broken juniper]

I think the fact that Fallout New Vegas 2 would ever come to fruition especially after a good chunk of the key staff involved in the making of the game left Obsidian is a severe case of wishful thinking

[orchid lake]

Valid crashout ngl

[torpid ermine]

My question is, can we really trust Cooper's memories?

[orchid lake]

Oh wow

[versed path]

he's been alive 200 years. i'd believe it

[livid wasp]

I honestly don't think Todd is capable of making anything close to a fallout New Vegas 2 or anything like it not to say I didn't enjoy 3 or 4

[torpid ermine]

Bro is drugged up 24/7

[granite lark]

more as a continuation to the story, there was a playerbase focused on Mr. House as the goal for making mankind return to the pre war era with his high tech business development but instead the whole thing got killed for the TV series, so no more civilization, just more of the same post apocalypse. All because Vault Tec want everyone death.

[orchid lake]

He bleeds drugs

[torpid ermine]

I would love a Seattle fallout

[broken juniper]

Please Bethesda I need a Texas/Mexico fallout game where the map is split between the state and country like Red Dead Redemption was

[dusky flicker]

bro house wanted to flee earth

[torpid ermine]

In the lore the US did annex Mexico

[orchid lake]

Fallout: CHAZ

[dusky flicker]

i want california mexico border fallout so bad

[granite lark]

yes, flee earth and start a new civilization, that's his goal as big tech company. But this doesn't mean he is the main focus, he is after all ONE of the many factions. I think could have been interesting if the NCR was still alive so we could see their civilization dealing with Mr. House empire. Why? because he view them as clients and costumers for his business.

[orchid lake]

Gimmie power armored cowboys!

[broken juniper]

Petro Chico Boy will return in Fallout 5…

[torpid ermine]

Wasn't the NCR in Baja California actually?

[livid wasp]

Yeah I just realized they tried to tranq cooper in the first season but it didn't work cuz he was completely drugged out yet the radscorpian venom knock him on his ass?

[orchid lake]

Yeah

[dusky flicker]

its disputed because they claim its theirs but with the biggest name faction in baja being the “baja bandits” i doubt they actually have it

[torpid ermine]

Well I'm sure people irl take horse tranq to get geeked and not many people get fried off of scorpion venom lol

[livid wasp]

Gah! Petro-Chico Boy! Petro-Chico Boy is here for my chitlins! Oh. Just a dream. Just a dream...".

[dusky flicker]

i think

[broken juniper]

Danny Trejo as Raul cameo in the show save me

The cowpoke vs the vaquero

[dusky flicker]

i also have a ghoul gunslinger character lol i couldn’t resist it’s too good an idea

[broken juniper]

God I would kill to have Raul’s outfit in 76

[livid wasp]

Gunslinger raul and cooper would probably be besties

[torpid ermine]

Big iron on his hip

[lofty prairie]

Cooper Howard is like darth vader both are on life support and both lost there family

Coopers heart is only beating cuz of the drugs

[broken juniper]

Either that or they’d constantly rage bait each other

[lofty prairie]

An interaction with Joshua and Cooper would be interesting

[livid wasp]

That's if raul hasn't gone feral yet

[broken juniper]

I’ll forgive you for destroying every faction in New Vegas Bethesda just leave Raul alone😭🙏

[granite lark]

let just hope the tv series stay in it's own universe because this could end like the disney star wars trilogy and we all know what happened

[orchid lake]

Fr

[versed path]

The story should end when the title cards stopped. End of story on it man. The story is for YOU to decide.

[red forge]

The TV series is in Fallout universe.

[broken juniper]

Unlikely i fear since they’ve said the events of the show will affect future games

[red forge]

It's not in any other universe.

[orchid lake]

Exactly, the Courier's road came to an end, now it's time for everyone else to shine

[livid wasp]

Someone had the idea earlier that the strip got hit with a radiation attack of some kind which I don't really think is so far fetched if the legion can do it with searchlight

[lofty prairie]

The difference is that the Starwars sequel writers didnt know what the hell they are doing, however the show writers have already delivered to faithful adaptions of the games in 2 seasons

[granite lark]

so was for fallout 1

[dusky flicker]

i guess bro 🥀

[orchid lake]

Pretty sure that's what happened as Maccarran also is irradiated

[versed path]

https://tenor.com/view/who-is-this-gif-13734178337321872583

[dusky flicker]

obsidian literally made a strict story outline for the canon events of fallout 1 for fallout 2

[lofty prairie]

The children of the atom

[livid wasp]

That and a legion attack since buddy was speared

[broken juniper]

I’m hoping Fallout gets the Boys treatment of multiple spinoffs (including an animated series in different art styles). Ik we’re at least already gonna get the Fallout Shelter game show series

[orchid lake]

Poor Ranger

[granite lark]

that's something i fear too. Because an eventual fallout 5 what would be? Just another more of the same vault tec and BoS?

[torpid ermine]

Bro we don't need fallout oversaturation, just keep it to the games and 1 show

[livid wasp]

Can the majority of us agree the legion never stood a chance after Caesars death regardless of the show?

[orchid lake]

It could be a lot of things

[lofty prairie]

Well Todd said that he’s running out of vaults cuz of the set number problem they dug themselves into so fallout 5 may have anon vault protagonist

[granite lark]

but in the case of the tv series, the death of new vegas, house and the NCR killed again civilization, all for what? Endless stagnation

[torpid ermine]

The Legion never stood a chance from the start

[lofty prairie]

It’s part of the message

[livid wasp]

That's what fallouts all about baby war never changes you think people are gonna rebuild a sustainable civilization after nuclear devastation?

[broken juniper]

Fallout 5 not coming till 2030 at least im gonna need more to hold me off

[red forge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-dark-knight-its-about-sending-a-message-joker-heath-ledger-the-joker-gif-18201880

[granite lark]

What message? No, war never changes is the perpetual conflict between nations. And is part of the human nature to make wars for resources. But today? That's not war, is just terrorism imposed by Vault Tec, that's not war, it's just espionage and sabotage.

[livid wasp]

The luckiest people In the wasteland are the ones who where able to manage sustainable control vaults

[lofty prairie]

No the message is that unless humanity stops fighting and stops using old world ideals thet no matter how powerful the nation will always fall. It’s similar to what Ulysses said

Thats the point the show is trying to make, it’s never about war and stuff it’s about doing the same old crap that humans can’t seem to stop

[livid wasp]

The whole idea of trying to go back to pre war times is the problem OLD WORLD BLUES

[granite lark]

That's the vision of ulysses, he see just "we are doomed to repeat history"

[lofty prairie]

That’s why NcR legion and BoS have suffered fatalities

[orchid lake]

Oh absolutely

[broken juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/say-that-again-gif-968943876633031890

[lofty prairie]

Exactly my point. Thats what the show trying to tell us

[granite lark]

Too bad, at the end will be retconned to be just "Vault tec did the bad thing"

[dusky flicker]

the show is literally about?? that??

[minor lark]

The entire message of 'Fallout' has always been war greed and capitalism cause our downfall.

[lofty prairie]

Your not listening

[orchid lake]

"If war won't change, then men must change, through the roads they walk"

[red forge]

... so basically should any of us bother getting involved with Fallout at all, with making that very simplistic conclusion?

[lofty prairie]

Yeah

[dusky flicker]

the show literally is showing us why the wastes keep stagnating

theres constant foreshadowing to someone being behind the wheel

[orchid lake]

The Enclave wants to know your location

[granite lark]

nah man, i lissen, he point is, i'm watching what the writer wants you to see, not what the previous game show

because if society is capable to restore themself from war, ends fallout post apocalypse setting

[red forge]

That is not absolute yet. They've made the suggestion. No one knows who actually dropped the bombs yet.

[livid wasp]

Remember when all of us were just vibing were arguing like the factions from the game now dawg

[dusky flicker]

its wild to complain about stagnation when you wanted new vegas 2 and house being alive (house is alive, he’s in the trailer and all victor said was he was gone)

[broken juniper]

I guess war never changes…

[livid wasp]

I mean it was mostly straight up vault tec

[torpid ermine]

Replay fallout new vegas another 10 times

[granite lark]

not just me but also many fans who wanted a direct sequel, so pointing the finger against me for that is pointless

[dusky flicker]

“why does bethesda keep stagnating the setting and using the bos, anyway i want more stuff from new vegas”

[torpid ermine]

Fallout 76 dlcs

[red forge]

"Everyone wants to save the world, they just disagree on how".

[torpid ermine]

I want to see them take more stuff from tactics and go to Colorado

[dusky flicker]

yeah me too

[orchid lake]

Literally

[dusky flicker]

which is why im working on a fallout colorado setting for a dnd system

[granite lark]

Nah, is because they don't see the difference between Post apocalypse and post post apocalypse

[livid wasp]

Bro I wish I knew how to play DND I'd love to play

[orchid lake]

I think they just sabotaged peace talks, but didn't drop the bombs themselves

[orchid lake]

I'll join DM me

[livid wasp]

At what point do the post post post posts END!!

[red forge]

Please explain to us what "post post apocalypse" is.

[lofty prairie]

I get the people not liking the NCR falling however it’s needed, even in New Vegas they are heavily flawed because they repeated what the American government did

[dusky flicker]

ty ty ill friend but its a long way off, its a passion project

[orchid lake]

You can learn along the way, I'm pretty new as well

[minor lark]

Vault-Tec certainly seemed like they got caught by surprise just like everyone else. Most of their experiments weren't even all fully set up when the bombs fell.

[tidal tendon]

I'm playing DND tonight! I love DND, I'm thinking of GMing for a Fallout based campaign

[broken juniper]

Don’t know why Vault Tec would drop the bombs when they still had multiple of their own vaults being made when they fell

Fallout 2, New Vegas and Fallout 4 is post post apocalypse.
Fallout 1, 3 and 76 are Post apocalypse

[broken juniper]

Have them hooked up to a makeshift computer robot (it’s just like a securitron)

[livid wasp]

Is there's a fallout themed character sheet or something that I'm able to fill out?

[orchid lake]

Lmao

[red forge]

What is the concept of "post post apocalypse"?

[tidal tendon]

They are all in order, except 76 is before everything else.

[bleak crow]

I finished the episode just now

[dusky flicker]

blatantly untrue given what they’ve done with 76 and the setting for fallout 4 being immediately after the civilization in the commonwealth fractured

[bleak crow]

So that's why vegas is like that

[red forge]

76, 1, 2, 3, NV, 4, TV is the chronology order

[torpid ermine]

When are they going to make Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel canon?

[bleak crow]

What about the tunnelers?

[dusky flicker]

fallout 3 is barren because of how like, genuinely inhospitable it is

[orchid lake]

Honestly I think Bethesda overall has done a good job explaining why the wasteland is still, well... A wasteland

[livid wasp]

Isn't the nuclear devastation part the only real thing that makes it an "apocalypse"

[granite lark]

In other words post apocalypse and post post apocalypse are like medieval age and for our world after the fall of the roman empire. So
Post apocalypse is high medieval time and post post apocalypse is low medieval time untill we reach the renaiscence era, so society recover after centuries of war, barbarians invasions and crusades.

[orchid lake]

Fr totally the best game 10/10 would play again

[dusky flicker]

society is just a skill tree

[torpid ermine]

Hip hip!

[granite lark]

it just show history is repeating again, the reason why we don't get the end of low post apocalypse era and the beginning of a renessaince/golden age is because for many would be considered the death of fallout, But i dont feel so since new societies take part in the game and make thei own wars

[livid wasp]

Imagine being stuck in a recession after a nuclear apocalypse

[orchid lake]

NCR be like

[broken juniper]

What if instead of Bear Bull Bear Bull it was Dave Gary Dave Gary

[livid wasp]

I did not survive a nuclear apocalypse to pay taxes dude

[lofty prairie]

Dave vs Gary

[torpid ermine]

Welcome to 2026*

[orchid lake]

That's the most inspirational quote in history

[livid wasp]

Dave vs Gary vs fantastic vs Oliver swanick

[dusky flicker]

do you think the show and games think society constantly being doomed to collapse is good?
because you seem to think this pattern is somehow incompatible with the franchise about societies collapsing.

[broken juniper]

I would kill to see Gary vs Fantastic

[dusky flicker]

like did you want fallout 4 to have a governing minutemen? what would the conflict be? big sci fi war with brotherhood and enclave?

[livid wasp]

Dave and Gary team up to fight for the capital wasteland while fantastic and Oliver fight for the Mojave

[lofty prairie]

Who’d win Ultron or Frank horrigan

[dusky flicker]

i dont wanna be a paul atreides in fallout i wanna be some dude who changes a bunch of peoples lives, not super king war man

[broken juniper]

Ultron is gonna come into the Fallout universe and get stuck in the toaster from old world blues

Does Ultron have 10 in every special stat? I think not

How dare you pit our best leaders against each other

[broken juniper]

There’s a non 0% chance that Dave has outlived the King

He would become difficult Pete and curbstomp them all

[livid wasp]

Arguing about politics in fallout is honestly one of the worst things a human can do

[dusky flicker]

basterd! … basterd! look at em go! look at em go!

[livid wasp]

Fallout 3 or 4 prime and is he fully powered? Nukes and all?

[torpid ermine]

Yes

[dusky flicker]

i agree and bid you Vale

[orchid lake]

Lmao

[lofty prairie]

Liberty prime clears im sorry look what he did to the other behemoths

[torpid ermine]

Most games have politics in it, otherwise Skyrim would be boring asf

[dusky flicker]

i do a legion playthrough until one of them calls me a profligate and then i just blow all they shizz shmoove off

[livid wasp]

Prime simply because you can hit him with everyone weapon in 4 about a million times and his health doesn't move an inch

[broken juniper]

I feel like Frank Horrigan vs Difficult Pete would be a genuine close match to each other

[livid wasp]

I don't disagree with the politics being in the game it's that arguing back and forth isn't fun for anyone

[torpid ermine]

Oh I mean yeah

It's a video game why be serious

[broken juniper]

I guess you could say.. why so serious…

[orchid lake]

It would be a battle of the ages

[torpid ermine]

Get out

[livid wasp]

Some people make it there whole lives bro

[livid wasp]

Out now

[dusky flicker]

cus people make it lame by making it real
like when those modders called enclave fans a bad political word for no reason other than sci fi parody faction is mean

like warhammer for example is fun satire until people get real w it and then its just tiring

[torpid ermine]

Obviously the best faction is the tunnel snakes, no competition.

[versed path]

Guys hear me out- instead of a fallout new vegas, why not a fallout 4 remake! Nothing is changed but the singular graphic of mama murphey

[lofty prairie]

The other day I read this dumb fallout comment on a YouTube video this person said, If you don’t like fallout 1 and only like 3,nv,4 and 76 and the show your not a true fallout fan.

[livid wasp]

I mean usually when a faction goes the way of imperialism/dictatorship it doesn't go so well no matter the tech they're president wasn't even a human person ofc they'd fail

[granite lark]

if it keep pushing constantly stagnation it loose the charm of how society can adapt and evolve, because apparently there is a stereotype we have only hobo survivalist, raiders, mercenaries and mutants it get flanderization

[versed path]

A legion or enclave diehard fan boy is nearby, nose plugs in.

[dusky flicker]

i got pissed too cus im pretty like, left.
and i love the legion and enclave for what they are in the setting, and for their aesthetic, so i really dislike being told what i am because say, i like the equivalent of the star wars empire

stuff like that yk

[red forge]

I mean... the Fallout franchise has been going on for as long as it has...

[versed path]

don't get me wrong the enclave and the legion are dope but like..one are literally just genocidalists and the other is slavers

pick your hell type of shi

[torpid ermine]

Both suck

[livid wasp]

At the end of the day it's just a game there's a lot of people who don't get that sometimes

[dusky flicker]

fallout 76 had a workers union turn into a full fledged governing body after the union busting govt fled/collapsed

[torpid ermine]

Enclave has dope armor tho

[dusky flicker]

so.

[broken juniper]

Liking the Enclave bcs you like their power armor vs liking them bcs you whole heartedly believe in what they believe in

[glacial bridge]

||Loved the Alaska segment. Good attention to detail with Cooper calling for "CATF," or the Commander, Amphibious Task Force, definitely who they'd be contacting during an island assault. Cooper's callsign, Whitehorse 2-1, means he was in 2nd Platoon of whichever company in his unit used the callsign "Whitehorse," probably Weapons Company due to the "W" and their usage of Power Armor.||

[orchid lake]

Exactly, it's like I know they are evil, but that doesn't mean I have to dislike what they bring to the setting and the cool stuff they have

[livid wasp]

Literally why half of the people who enlisted in the enclave enlisted you think some random wastelander cares Abt muties or politics they want cool power armor

[dusky flicker]

i try to apply who i am to these factions
if i were from arizona what would i think of the legion? if i were literally here in caesars tent what would i be thinking?
like i try not to ‘meta game’

[granite lark]

yes but in fallout 3, the pitt is now under the iron fist of ashur, the BoS purged that city and is still a slave nation hell hole unless you kill him, but this doesn't change much. The union fail to save the pitt

[glacial bridge]

I would try to avoid the slavery empire probably

[lofty prairie]

Each faction is mortally grey. And you get some interesting branches and portrayals of what some think is good, for instance religious tech knights who are interested in helping themselves to better other. Then you have raiders like the one in 76 who yes do despicable things but see themselves equal to the people at foundation because they aren’t monsters just survivors. I find all this fascinating.

[broken juniper]

“Enclave wants to kill us all but you know what they’ve gone 3/3 in power armor designs I’ll give em that”

[torpid ermine]

When are we seeing fisto in the show

[dusky flicker]

so literally what you want to happen.
because you want societies in conflict.
slavers and mercenaries taking pittsburgh from former steel workers is what you say you want, but because the pitt isnt a traditional nation state like the legion or ncr it isn’t enough?
you aren’t really in good faith, im done talking about it.

[glacial bridge]

||Also I think one of the sections of the outro segment is a reference to Danse Macabre by Deimos||

[lofty prairie]

I don’t want one sided factions in fallout. I want survivors not saviours.
