25 Secret Details You Missed in the Fallout TV Show

[@TheMindRobber42]

I don't know if this was intentional or not, but my favorite easter egg was when Lucy walks up to a wastelander for the first time with her gun pointed at him and consciously has to put it away. It reminded me of how everyone always walks around with their gun out the entire game but you put it away during conversations.

[@kirkyorg7654]

my biggest issue with it is the 8/40 minute episode format its much to short to really get people into the story especially for people who have never played the games just not enough time to develop the characters or the plot/storyline back 10/15 years ago a good TV series was up to 20 episodes this was way too short they used up 4 of the episodes just on the back story strictly for the people who never played the games this would have benefitted from being a few episodes longer i think it will hurt the show in the long run because for fans of the game its moving at a snails pace if this format keeps up with all the flashbacks to the back stories

if that were true, it could possibly mean that The Courier indeed drove the NCR out of the Mojave which left 2 NV endings: Yes Man left in-charge of The Strip and Caesar's Legion ending. Both of which are interesting sub-plots for the next season. If Yes Man still functions, it could provide some more additional and interesting lore about Mr. House and many more esp the ending scene of the series as well as the big meeting.

[@superdave8248]

If I'm not mistaken, you can destroy the Prydwen in Fallout 4. And one of the few rules the TV show had was not to change any of the possible outcomes with the Fallout Games. So by default, this airship had to have a different name. Even if it was a mirror image of the Prydwen. I take the name on the side as a production mistake. The production team were given images of the Prydwen to work with and nobody told them the name of the ship would be different. So they just assumed it was the same ship.

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodsc1447]

[@ricosuave6898]

The story for the first season of Fallout perfectly mimics a mainline Fallout game story of you think of Lucy as the player's Vault dweller and Maximus and the Ghoul as companion characters. Not just Lucy gearing up like a player, but her arc becoming harder and more dangerous as she levels up, she even has the traditional Daddy issues. Makes me wonder if any part of it started as an outline for Fallout 5.

[@wildridegaming]

I think the biggest detail people missed in the fallout TV show was when Maximus told us when the bombs fell on Shady Sands, and it wasnt 2277. He said the bombs fell 12 years ago, when Lucy asked how long has it been since the bombs fell, she was meaning the ones 200+ years ago but he only thought of the ones that destroyed Shady Sands as those were more defining to him. 12 Years puts it as 2284, making the timeline of the Nuke being after New Vegas. (And right when Todd said it happened) 2277 "The Fall of the NCR" refers to the Battle of Hoover Dam, which was the start of the NCRs demise (or at least Shady Sands) as the war with the Legion took its toll.

[@LuminecentKoala]

Also with Lonesome Road the Courier has the chance to nuke the NCR and/or the Legion. So it could be possible that the bombing was done by Courier 6.

@JuiceHead3 My guess is the Mr. House ending is actually canon. Hank is going to New Vegas to wake up Mr. House. Right after the Battle of Hoover Dam, the NCR in South New Vegas attack the strip, having been betrayed. This explains the breach in the southern wall of New Vegas that's visible in the credits

[@flipsidejr.69]

Doesn't really explain the multiple claw marks on both the walls and securitrons, which could either imply that Deathclaws attacked The Strip as you also see a Deathclaw skull next to the NCR vertibird. There's also the chance that the tunnelers possibly made their way into the Mojave and wreaked havoc upon it.

Just my thoughts, if you remember what Ulysses said in lonesome road about those creatures the Tunnelers about how they would eventually dig their way to the Mojave, "Tunnelers. Predators that make their own roads beneath the ground here. Divide broke their sky, showed them the world above - and the scent of new prey. Be a slower death for the Mojave than bombs and fire... but they'll come for its people, from where they least expect - below."

Thadeus is pretty obviously consuming FEV, is he not? My guess would be he becomes a Super Mutant, as we havent seen those yet.

[@funnyshitclanfilms]

The drug that thaddeus took wasn't the reference to 76, but instead, it was probably the same drug that Hancock from Fallout 4 took that turned him into ghoul. Hancock explains to the player that before he became a ghoul, he was (and still is) a chem fiend and was always looking for a new way to get high. eventually, he found a drug that gave him a crazy high at the cost of ghoulification. There are differences between what we hear from Hancock and what we see from thaddeus. Like the lack of a high and Hancock assumption that he took the last one, but those can be chocked up to additions/retcons that the show made to ghoul lore, like the fact that ghoul have to take a particular drug to stave off going feral.

Fallout Tactics isn't considered canon (even though I'd be fine if it was).

I really hope that going forward the series passes through past locations from the games, showing the canon choices for them. For example, Harold’s Forest from Fallout 3.

@@voguishthrone5887 I’m operating under the assumption that eventually Lucy, Cooper the Ghoul, and Dogmeat will chase Hank all the way to the East Coast, passing through past Fallout game locations, including Harold’s Forest.

I imagine seeing how Cleric Quintus becomes more corrupt with the power the cold fusion reactor provides, literally and figuratively.

[@Gantros]

@@voguishthrone5887 Indeed, I have this sneaking suspicion that the TV show will give the overall status of the Fallout franchise a new starting point in the lead up to Fallout 5, by establishing what the official canon endings of the games are. I figure we have one or two more seasons of the tv show before Fallout 5 is announced, and maybe another before release. In that time, we could visit every major location in the franchise leading up to wherever 5 is set, which rumor is might be San Francisco or New York. Knowing the present situation of places like Vault City, Arroyo, New Vegas and the surrounding area like Jacobstown, the Capital Wasteland, Vault 101, Megaton, which I personally feel should merge with 101 to form a thriving community called Megavault City, Project Purity, Appalachia and the Commonwealth at the dawn of the 25th century would set the stage for preparing the franchise for a new generation of fans.

[@matthewbarry4464]

Maybe the Enclave controlled Deathclaws to infest New Vegas?

[@anthonybird546]

That's my theory too, the evidence of such a massive battle, deathclaws wouldn't have overwhelmed a whole city with a heavy military presence on their own, without the Enclave organizing them and then supporting them with their own heavy weapons

[@kanival42]

You’re reaching there. There are only a few Enclave remnants in Vegas. Plus they relocated to the east coast at raven rock then got destroyed. No way they’d go back to the west coast. There are probably only a few small enclave outposts throughout the wastes.

[@seanc4501]

This is also my new theory. It seems like the Enclave used intelligent deathclaws to storm the Strip sometime after the 2nd Battle of Hoover Dam. Hank wouldn't go to Vegas searching for Mr. House as he seemed to be skeptical to Vault-Tec's plan. He's instead looking for Vault Tec and the games confirm the Enclave worked with the company in the lead up of the Great War. This would be a perfect solution to the cannon question of N.V because regardless of player choice, the city falls to the Enclave. Perhaps the House doesn't always win

[@matthewbarry4464]

@@kanival42 With the NCR and Caesar's Legion gone it created a vacuum. Since the lore has now established cryo-pods one can surmise the Enclave had them. We also know they had the technology to control Deathclaws (so did the BOS.)

@@kanival42 The Enclave encompasses much much more than just a couple bases. They could have all kinds of secret facilities in regions like the Rocky Mountains or the Sierras, which the series strongly implied where the Enclave base is located - mountainous, isolated, relatively undamaged, walking distance to LA. The hunt for the scientist was done through bounty hunter agencies, six of them, rather than pursue him and Dogmeat themselves so they're can probably do some attacks here and there but still keep themselves in the shadows.

Loved how the 10mm pistol used was based on the first game. It was very iconic as it was used by the original Vault Dweller (especially at the ending of F1).

[@Nularius79]

I said it in another comment in another video. Moldaver is a Synth. She can't be "cryoed" as she's not affiliated with Vault Tec - who holds the techology. If she "ghouled" herself, then there should be physical signs of irradiation, but there's none. So my guess is indeed, she's a synth - and the institute will greatly benefit from her activating the cold fusion reactor. In addition, she doesn't care if the cold fusion tech falls into the brotherhood's hands - as all she needed was to "record" the activation and process of the tech, pass it on through the institute's network, and rest will be replicated by the institute, but of course this is just my theory.

[@vitaliyred622]

A GAME THEORY

[@KarusoSakai]

Human-like Synths were not a thing until the year 2278, 101 years after the bombs dropped (Institute lore). It's highly possible that Moldaver was able to replicate Cryopod, or somehow was able to persuade Vault-Tec to allow her a spot in Vault 31 (Possibly how she met the McClane's). The only real plausible explanation is cryogenic sleep.

[@kiidmarzgamez1602]

Her company and science was bought by vault tech so maybe they gave her a spot not knowing she was against them I think she had some work in developing the cold fusion cause she seemed to just want a restart

[@Nularius79]

The institute has already replaced existing humans with synth to suite their plans before (e.g. Palading Danse). It is definitely possible that Maldover has acquired cryo tech to prolong her life, but in 200 years, it is also possible, that she was abducted and replaced after 2278. Anyway, its all speculation, and I'm defnitely curious to how exactly did Maldover last that long.

[@thomgizziz]

That doesn't make any sense... she is also dead.

[@AstroNerdBoy]

I appreciate that the game gets a lot of the little details right. And I did like the series, but lore issues aside, as I think about things, there are some serious plot issues. I think the jangling keys of the little things that were done well initially allowed me to not notice the flaws like the Ghoul having a difficult time fighting a T60 power armor at the start, but then later slaughters an entire squad of T60s without breaking a sweat. I'm going to rewatch the series and see how it holds up on the second view.

The CX prefix on the dogs is a code used by Amazon logistics. In an interview, Ella says that the vault set is as big as an Amazon warehouse. Hmm… I wonder where they built the set? I wonder if there are more Amazon Easter eggs?

You are talking about the wired interview. They were guessing, they didn't know for sure. Amazon warehouses are 600,000sq/ft or bigger. A vault is 20,000 square feet on average. Why is it whenever I go away from my part of youtube all the people become brain dead and can't read or listen anymore?

You missed the poster in episode 6 for the film "A Man and his Dog". This is a call out to the Harlan Ellison story "A boy and his dog" which was filmed in 1975 with Don Johnson in the lead role, and is about a wanderer in a post-holocaust landscape with a telepathic dog companion called Blood whom he casually refers to as "Dogmeat". Also in episode six, the "President" of the "Govermint" is called Sorrel Booker; this is a reference to the actor Sorrell Booke who played the character of Boss Hogg in the Dukes of Hazzard.

The Doc might have not have had all the information on other Vaults and their experiments. Might have assumed that it was the only Vault with cryo pods as thats what he was told by Vault Tec.
