What do you have against the Wheel of time? Why haven't you reviewed the show?

[@mouseblackcat5263]

Its got some issues, a few potentially serious, but overall its good. Some weak writing and lacking acting in places, but mostly solid. We shall see how it fares as us Lore Junkies Nit-Pick it apart.

[@vishtod]

The show was good and interesting to watch but way to long then it needed to be... I think it would have wrapped up nicely in 5 episodes... There are lots of unnecessary pauses and long takes I mean WTF... Plus the time line is pretty jumbled up and it always gets side tracked whenever Lucy brings it up in the show, and you kind of Fudged up on the timeline too, Maximus didn't become an orphan in 2077 his parents died in the 2nd bombings somewhere after the year 2145 when Shady sands was bombed, it was there on the chalk board in vault 4... I'm really looking forward to S2 just hope the writer don't waste more time with unnecessary pauses and long shots 😂😂😂

I would fight the yao guai in power armor if one 10 mm bullet can kill it so ts not as tough like in the games,also yes that was funny but one thing I didnt like is when the fusion core is removed the suit becomes totali locked,like in the games fallout 4 and 76 you still can move but very slovly...in the show seems like a dumb deecision not to include a safety buton so the solder can exit the suit.

The fact that in season 2 we might find out which ending to NV is canon will change the fan base forever

[@DarkspiritLyllianaTV]

it will

[@MadKiller-mh7vb]

I'm thinking that the Canon ending for New Vegas is the house ending because in my mind I want to think that Hank is looking for Robert house and he's going to New Vegas to look for him and I think that the season 2 will be pretty quick if he went there and found out that he's already dead

[@omittedhyperion7823]

They went the mr house route. which is why hank ran to new vegas.

[@MarieGoldBrand]

I honeslty think it'll be the NCR, we already knew they were overextended and that radio guy says they're going to collapse plus the famine and the barons. If they won over Vegas I can see the city falling into chaos when the capitol of the NCR gets nuked

[@joebenzz]

The end credits montage shows Vegas completely in ruins with a deathclaw skeleton in it and fallen helis. Or maybe it's just for the looks.

[@Weird-Mike]

Hands down best adaptation of a video game series. The didn't miss a beat with the dialogue, the random things players do in the game, I don't think I saw a single prop that wasn't 100% replicated from the games. Can't wait for the next season.

It was better than I thought it would be. There were so many references to the games, even the Minute Men style radio with the fiddle music which I appreciated. The comedy was great and the ending was awesome. It left so many questions about season 2. We already saw Robert House during the Vault- tec meeting which was unexpected and totally cool. The fact that the showrunners included New Vegas in this was great, also the anticipation of seeing a 200+ year old Mr House in his life support pod, or perhaps they'll do a different take on that for the show.

[@combativestelth6105]

It'll be interesting, especially since it's over a decade after the events of New Vegas. Will house still be talking through his computer or not

At 11:05 the claim is Maximus survived the bombing of Shady Sands in 2077, but Maximus was in the present time period 219 years later. The initial bombs dropped in 2077 when Cooper was still an actor. 2077 was when the initial bombs were dropped. It was a huge plot point that even after the initial fallout, 200 years later humans were still willing to drop huge bombs on each other again

[@Stargate-over-starwars]

You didnt play any of the games did you? Cuz nukes are used in th3m all

@bigmsg1283 I keep seeing references to 15 years before NV / after it, I'm sure we will find out next season anyway. It's not 100% the same as the games, obviously, but that's to be expected.

[@TheMissle]

In every single fallout game it ends with you nuking the shit out of another faction or using nukes so not really a plot point

[@afunkymonke]

I can only imagine the story for the Ghoul/Cooper is gonna be very heartbreaking once fully revealed. Though seeing him having to perform at a birthday party at what used to be his home already hurt without knowing the exact moment to moment details.

[@mcdonciii]

No dogs in the vaults, already heartbreaking😢

[@zachhoward9099]

I don’t think that was his old house, his place was way bigger, just some nice Mid Century Style home, but knowing how big he was and to go from that to performing kids birthday parties in seemingly little time at all and having smug upper middle class guys calling him a pinko and snickering about alimony and him taking money he was owed to do that job at minimum I think his downfall in pre War society is going to be bad enough in itself, especially once we see how twisted his wife really is and how much power she seems to hold and not just being some cog in the Vault Tec machine

[@afunkymonke]

@zachhoward9099 I'd have to rewatch, the style looked very similar and it would have just really tied the whole personal downfall of Cooper with the downfall of the old world. Plus it wouldn't have surprised me that either someone from the company moved in on his ex wife after the divorce or someone bought his house after the spilt. It also depends how much the time frame from when they were married to splitting occurs, could be a couple years could be a few months 🤷‍♂️ either way, still love the show and can't wait for season 2

[@mcdonciii]

@@afunkymonke they got divorced? I must have missed that... I kept wondering where his wife is when the bombs are dropped

[@afunkymonke]

@mcdonciii yeah they mention he has alimony payments, I imagine next season we end up seeing him confront her about her actual role in the company and being willing to nuke innocent people to make money. Might be the reason he even gets to have custody of his daughter, as blackmail to not say anything to the public about the truth that's coming and another personal reason he doesn't want to do the thumbs up anymore as it reminds him of her and her role of putting into the mascot position.

[@anthonygordon9483]

Kind of. Umbrella corporation was always evil. Vault-Tec was over ran and turned evil to increase profits and share holders demands. In the games you have to bridge the gaps of when vault tec was good and when exactly it was turned evil. Where in Resident Evil it was always given that Umbrella corporation was evil secretely.

[@anthonygordon9483]

@@mortagon1451 I think in the game, vault tec escalated the war between china and the U.S. they didnt actually drop the bomb. In Fallout 3 you get in the actual chinese nuclear submarine that may have set off the first bomb. But its implied that Vault Tec played devils advocate which is why it was so hard to pin point the blaim on them. In a way they were already controlling the war before the nuclear bombs dropped. The show makes it obvious that they dropped the bombs but its still unclear on who press the button first. If the show goes the games direction, they could still make it difficult to know who actually dropped the bombs. If Vault Tec implicitly dropped the bombs its easier to put the blaim on them and I think the show will probably not go that direction. I think more then likely we will learn that vault tec probably sent out a false order to the chinese to bomb the U.S. or possibly gave china false intel that the U.S. was going to strike first. For a corporation to actually own a nuclear weapon, those type of secrets are hard to keep secret.

That's factually wrong. Where this vault supposedly is was supposed to be rebuilt pretty much at this point in the timeline. This is a massive retcon to that. It's broken most of the lore.

The first 7 episodes were just nice worldbuilding, and the 3 last episodes literally flipped my understanding of Fallout up-side-down. I legit got goosebumps, mind blown. We all believed Vault-Tec were long gone, empty offices and such, the fact that the entire corporation of Vault-Tec is still alive and well in Vault 31 changes everything for Fallout 5.

[@unknownbenefactor8029]

Here's my assumption. The second battle of Hoover dam ending up with NCR victory. But it seemed like NCR left the brotherhood of steel alone and not attack them further. Then later on, because of the NCR harboring too many enclave remnant, it was easy for the enclave to infiltrate and sabotage them from the inside. And for the look of it. Hank came and try to get both his wife and daughter back but fail to get his wife, he kidnapped his daughter and planted the bomb in secret. Blowing up the whole town. Back to BoS side, after Veronica open BoS up a little, they slowly yet hesitantly accept outsider into their rank. And when BoS cell in California spot the nuke, they immediately sent in the people to scrape up every resources the NCR have left. That's where they met Maximus and acquired enough resources to build the airship. With the reveal of control vault 31, the enclave are now have a new master to serve. The remnants once scattered now managed to regroup and established the new base. Ask for the supermutant disappearing, (aside from budget issues) lore wise, the NCR and BoS hunting them to near extinction left only Jacobtown as the last sanctuary for supermutant.

[@ajstouffer6247]

You can have any ending of New Vegas work if use the Tunnelers from Lonesome Road to explain the downfall. It would also play into the show's theme about controlling civilization being impossible. You can even have House survive any ending (in a fashion) if they bring in Synth tec. The airship though is explicitly the one from the east coast in the show.

Overall I really enjoyed it. They really got the grasp of Fallout. I like how the Brotherhood is now the dominant force in SoCal (being a massive BoS fanboy myself) but I'm not a fan of how they're sorta portrayed as pseudo bad guys. There were also a few changes in lore that did upset me a bit. I don't mind the Shady Sands being destroyed but its massively confusing how it happened in 2277. The same year as The First Battle of Hoover Dam. Meaning that Shady Sands was already destroyed by the time of New Vegas. When the NCR was at its peak. Still, I'm very excited to see what happens in New Vegas and how the actions of The Courier have affected the Mojave Wasteland (or maybe we'll even see him whether or not he's in Big MT). Given the portrayal of Mr House in the last episode, I'm betting the House ending is what becomes canon but we will see. I'm definitely gonna make another New Vegas play through with siding with House once I'm done with Fallout London.
