I love how gentle the Ghoul's voice was at the end when he asked Lucy, "you coming?" I think she not only restored a bit of his humanity, but knowing more about her, he can actually sympathize with being betrayed by family members' ambition.

[@brabbelbeest]

I wouldn’t be surprised if in season two the Ghoul becomes more and more like the man of principles he once was, while Lucy gradually slides more into a bitter and darker demeanor.

[@leitmotif618]

For real! It's only two words, but it feels like that was Coop, not The Ghoul, talking for the first time in a long, looong time. Props to the writers and of course to Walton Goggins. So excited for season 2!

I am a 52 year old man, an I have been playing this game series since the first game released in 1997. The first two were more 2D games, until the 3rd one of the series released in 2008. The story is immensely rich with lore, and every time I watch this episode... I get a tear in my eye, not only because it is so good, but because unlike a lot of produced television and movies that are based off long running franchises, the makers of this show have kept the absolute spirit of the game alive with this project. I cannot speak highly enough at how, when I watch this, I am brought back to my 20's an 30's and the feeling I got when I first played Fallout 3. Pure perfection.

[@mathieucaya]

I loved how they brought the 10mm pistol from 1 and 2 as a prop. It looks exactly like it’s supposed to!

[@folcotook3049]

Fellow OG Fallout player (similar age). Agree 100%.

[@JeffKogut]

Same here, at 53. This show took the game franchise and expanded it 100x for me. Sort of like going from the original Star Trek to the entire franchise it became. There could be spin-off shows for decades of various vaults.

Such a satisfying show and episode. And they set up the next season perfectly with Hank looking down on New Vegas.

[@Sam97979]

Now that we've seen this ep, go back to literally episode 1 and watch the scene where Lucy remembers her mom under the sun. They did a lingering shot of Rose's left hand on her shoulder with NO RING. They put that in ep 1 right in front of our faces!!! Also, Rose's necklace is a rose quartz which symbolizes eternal love. I love that small detail. Also, Lucy and Max might've played together as kids, they were in the same place after all. And finally, NORM IS #1, he had such a great arc in this show.

[@jenk4545]

Y'all. The Ghoul and Lucy literally cut off each other's fingers. He kept her finger and sewed it on his own hand. His trigger finger is Lucy's. Meanwhile Lucy has a dead, rotten, Ghoulish finger sewed on her own hand, representing how the Wasteland has changed her. They're linked now, and still have things to teach each other. Omg I love this show so much 😭

[@kitharley6159]

Cooper's family is not in Vault 31 - that was for people from Bud's training program, like Hank, who "used to pick up my wife's dry cleaning." Barb stood higher in Vault Tec than Bud: she was the one the bigwigs upstairs called to bring the meeting back to order. She went wherever upper management went.

[@Ladco77]

6:20 If you have subtitles turned on, when the brain speaks, it's name is listed as "Brain on a Roomba." 20:00 The first time we hear Lucy say "Okie Dokie" that was maximum Okie. When she said it here, there was no more Dokie left in her Okie.

[@ircjesselee]

Not to mention no artichokie..

[@SagaciousHamster]

"It had a trolley" - that was an awesome aside. Loved the reaction.

[@aundreyyakar1272]

So the people in vault 31 were not the upper management of Vault-Tec but Bud's junior management program "Bud's Buds". Which is why Betty and Hank (who worked under Barb) were there. Barb and Janey are presumably in the Vault Barb mentioned in episode 6 when she and Coop had their argument and she said that she had secured them spots in a special Vault that oversees all the others. They may be hinting that this Vault is in New Vegas which is why we see Hank going there at the end.

[@Sam97979]

I personally think Barb is Enclave, after the shot of the shadowy figures looking down on the meeting, she got a text on her PipBoy to refocus the meeting from someone really powerful. And that would explain how Walzig knew Lucy was Hank's kid, and all about her Vault because Barb or someone similarly powerful was with the Enclave, controlling everything, which got to Walzig as he worked there. And the Enclave is not in New Vegas, as we see in the games, unless they hid another bunker somewhere there to keep an eye on House and Robco.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

Agreed, but in what condition is Janey after her radiation exposure?

[@michaelhoward142]

@@MarcosElMalo2 My suspicion is that Janey somehow ended up in a cryo chamber but Coop did not and was fully exposed. The Ghoul asked Hank where his FAMILY was -- not just his wife -- so he obviously thinks they're both still alive.

[@Tom-fg7fz]

@@michaelhoward142 Or possibly, Coop bought his ranch near Bakersfield and got a spot in Vault 12. The experiment at Vault 12 was to expose the residents to radiation, which ghoulified them. ref: Fallout (original game) "Necropolis".

[@MarcosElMalo2]

@@Tom-fg7fz Thank you! This is good information. I don’t want too much game lore that might spoil my enjoyment of the show, but this nugget about vault 12 that you’ve offered leads me to speculation of a more educated sort. It offers an alternative while also deepening the mystery. Here’s the thing about “ghoulification” from radiation exposure, though. At higher doses it kills you, at medium doses it makes you sick and kills you sooner or later, or at lower doses it can make you sick to varying degrees. Sometimes it’s cancer, sometimes it’s other things. The other thing to remember is that exposure is cumulative. At trivial doses (for example, chest X-rays), it’s “mostly harmless, unless you’re getting frequent X-rays over a period of time (in which case you’re increasing your risk). And we currently have treatments that can alleviate some of the effects of radiation exposure. All of this is to underline the fact that high doses of radiation alone won’t turn anyone into a ghoul. It just kills them. If it does not kill quickly, it kills soon enough. So the experiment in Vault 12 must have been about radiation treatments, initially. I would speculate that they worked on a radical treatment for fatal and near fatal exposure, and “ghoulification” was a side effect of this treatment. Anyway, that’s my guess about the whole process of becoming a ghoul. If you know game lore that casts doubt on my speculation, by all means share. I want to know and I’m not married to my theory. I think Michael Howard makes a good point about Janey being out into cryo in the hopes that a better treatment is developed, so she doesn’t become a ghoul.

[@Tijuanabill]

Yeah, the Ghoul is like max level, with every perk you can get, including night vision. He has been around 200 years, so that's a lot of xp.

[@JeffKogut]

And also why Thaddeus in ep. 7 can't hit Lucy or Maximus with the pistol - his aim is terrible since he is low-level.

[@ryank5424]

If you recall in vault 32 they wrote "death to management" on the wall. Guess they were on to something 😉

[@maksphoto78]

I'm still trying to process what happened in vault 32, but looks like it was an experiment in overcrowding (like with those rats shown on their telly), and as they started going crazy and killing each other or themselves, they figured out that they were part of the "management" experiment, and executed their overseer.

[@andrewdemarco3512]

​​@@maksphoto78I'm not sure bud would have wanted to overcrowd his breeding vault. He believed too much in his idea to throw away that much breeding stock on purpose. Maybe it was overcrowded, but if it was that was an accident. I think something happened, maybe there really was a wheat blight, and someone found the overseers response to be suspicious, snoped around like norm did, and found out the truth. They killed the overseer and all discovered the truth but couldn't figure out how to get into vault 31. Some killed each other to fight over remaining resources, while others couldn't take it and just killed themselves.

[@Pander543]

I find it hard to believe that Barb wouldn't make sure that Janey was safely locked inside of a vault well in advance of the bombs dropping. This means that either: 1. Somebody else dropped the bombs first 2. Barb was somehow unaware of when Vault Tec were going to drop the bombs, or 3. Barb was evil as shit and didn't care if her daughter was evaporated.

[@ParlonsAstronomie]

If you drop the bomb you know when it will happen and then you will be able to make sure that your daughter will be in a vault at time.

[@kvltslime2261]

yeah she definitely wouldnt have let her daughter out with her husband (ex at that point?) if she knew the bombs were dropping. also in fallout new vegas the bombs dropped early and thats why mr house didnt get his platinum chip on time.

7:39, Watch Barb, she looks at her Pip Boy, then looks up at the shadowy figure in the window above the meeting room and then takes control of the meeting. I think she is much higher in the administration than even Bud, also in the last episode Ms. Williams (aka Moldaver) told Coop that his "wife's division" of Vault-Tec swooped in and took all of her research into Cold Fusion.

[@hasicazulatv2078]

She is higher in position than bud. Bud was like an assistant to her

[@folcotook3049]

The parallel stories that unfold in this episode: - Max and Lucy each got what they wanted, but didn't want it in the end (as Wilzig warned Lucy in ep 2). - Coop and Lucy each had their world shattered by the betrayal of a person they loved. Near perfect story telling. 🧑‍🍳😘

When Lucy and Maximus were leaving Vault 4, and Lucy was trying to convince Maximus to return the fusion core, she said "If my dad found out I destroyed an entire community to save him, it'd break his heart." In hindsight, oof. How terrible that the exact opposite is true.

[@JustNotEverybody_]

I just how everything is built into this finale that comes around. Lucy's dad really does love Lucy more than he expected which is why he was so worried when she was taken out of the protection of the vault. He ends up giving up the code instantly in order to get a chance to continue to talk to his daughter. Everybody else ended up becoming a different animal altogether: Lucy started out looking for her father and ends the show by hunting him. Max ends up getting the home and acclaim he always desired after learning what the brotherhood really is and no longer wants it. The ghoul starts by going for the biggest bounty as his outlaw character but ends up finding a reason to live again. Both the kids end up finding out the truth and making decisions that alter what the company had planned in the beginning; ie "supermanagers." Just great writing all the way through. I really appreciate it.

[@JustNotEverybody_]

Also Cooper's wife is more complex too. She was alone while he was at war in faulty power armor in Alaska constantly worried about him while also having to worry about a possible nuclear fallout. I think after having a daughter she worked her ass off to get them into the safest arena possible for the end of the world and ends up achieving it. In her eyes, especially knowing what she knows, it was either play along or be one of the outsiders they talked about in that last meeting. She focused on what was practical while Cooper focused on what was right. I feel just another brilliant portrayal of a situation from both sides of the gray coin.

[@ParlonsAstronomie]

Vault-tech implacation in the bomb dropping is a big revelation in the Fallout lore (the games are really evasive on what happened before the war). IIt is also the first time we see global electricity here. I am glad that this serie had the guts to make the lore progress instead of just throwing fan service.

I kept wanting there to be a reference that it was then Knight Quintus, later Elder Cleric Quintus, that found Maximus in the refrigerator.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

There’s (probably) an interesting backstory there about how the Brotherhood of Steel, originally founded with high ideals, became corrupted. I don’t think it’s fully corrupt, through and through. But it’s corrupt enough that it seems to be seeking power for its own sake. Knight Titus was a symptom of the corruption, of the falling away from the order’s ideals. Each main character was wrestling with their own moral challenges. Maximus’ challenge was to square the ideals of honor and justice he had learned with the reality of being at the bottom of a hierarchical power structure.

[@andrewdemarco3512]

​@MarcosElMalo2 even in FO1 and 2 the brotherhood were very morally gray. Only the FO3 faction were they truly good guy coded. Fo3 had them actually following their ideals for the most part. F04 had them return to their normal morally questionable selves. New Vegas they were pretty much an afterthought.

The truth bombs dropped in this season finale are nuclear pun intended. The look of shear horror on Lucy's face made the entire first season worth so much more. The story that was done in this is fantastic and the way the writers were able to interweave all of the separate stories together into one cohesive and fluid story is a sign of a master writer.

[@Matrunks]

Shady sands was a safe haven town in a few of the games. So it was also a complete gut punch to know its fate

[@codybrown3326]

I want to know if the NCR has fallen or just Shady Sands. I know Muldavers group was flying the flag but I hope they arent the only remnant. I also have a theory about Caesar's legion being integrated into the west coast Brotherhood. They seem to have become much more brutal. And to them there is the naming conventions. Maximus , Titus etc.

[@eppielicious]

So this serious took a LOT of cues from Fallout 3 and 4, which the big RPGs released by Bethesda studios. It's mainline Fallout, basically. The idea of leaving the vault to chase your dad, cryogenic freezing, the vaults as experiments, etc all are ideas from the games. Fallout New Vegas is an entire different beast, made by a different team. It's extremely political, philosphical, and unlike the mainline games, it forces you to make hard decisions that you can't undo, and that wont please everyone. The factions are hardcore. Season 2 is going to be a doggam masterpiece. I can't wait to see the remains of Ceasar's legion, and what New Vegas ending they deemed "canon."

[@evilwelshman]

IMO Fallout demonstrated masterful writing. If you think about it, the characters' motivations - particularly the antagonists - are pretty ludicrous to the point of caricature. Which can be jarring and cause audiences to be unable to suspend their disbelief for. However, through the world and - especially - tone they've crafted, those ridiculous motivations just fit.

[@ChiefWiggum0]

Now that you have finished the series, you should look up all the different vaults in the games so far to see all the crazy experiments they did. My favorite is Vault 11, that one is BRUTAL.

[@phoy3619]

'Will you still want the same thing, or will you be a different animal all together?'

[@MarcosElMalo2]

It’s the show’s “thesis” statement. I think it works on multiple levels, too. How much have Lucy’s morals and ethical values changed, now that she has had to struggle with the grim reality outside the vaults? One’s values are a major element of one’s identity. One can become wiser and more experienced and be basically the same person if one’s morality remains intact. Contrast Lucy with The Ghoul, who has become evil after being a decent man. Hopefully season two will help us understand how a good man can be twisted into a bad man.

[@phoy3619]

"It's her." That's one of the ghouls that Lucy released from the Super Duper Mart. The RobCo guy, Mr. House, might be a major part of season 2. I think that even though Moldaver's motive might be more altruistic, she's just as ruthless as anyone at Vault-tec or the Brotherhood.

[@patrickholt2270]

The violence of a revolution is determined by the violence of the counter-revolutionaries who try to crush the people back into slavery and despair. She was trying to stop a for-profit nuclear war from being started by the most powerful corporations in history. And then she was trying to protect the fledgling NCR from them. My read is that she had no choice at all.

[@sfitzmd]

She did tell Cooper that if only the bad guys can be bad we've lost.

[@SaiyanHeretic]

New Vegas is most Fallout fans' favorite game in the series. Definitely worth playing! I'm very curious to see how it'll factor into the TV show. Something else I'm curious about, which never got addressed, is how Dr. Wilzig happened upon the secret cold fusion research in the first place? Maybe the Enclave dug it up from a Vault?

[@maksphoto78]

It was explained in the previous episode. Before the bombs fell, Moldaver was working on cold fusion, but then her company and all her research was bought out by Vault Tech. Vault Tech was the arm of the USA government, and the Enclave is basically the remnants of the USA government in this post-apocalyptic world. This is also how Wilzig knew about the Vault 33.

[@rethix5955]

I loved the scene where the ghoul takes on all those knights and squires. It's a great scene, but it's something that'd never happen. The suits have perfect night vision integrated. They'd all see clearly in pitch black. The ghoul wouldn't have left that room ''alive''. /end of overly nerdy rant

SUCH AN AMAZING SHOW. 10/10. probably the best game to live action adaptation ever done.

[@stevenbanks1548]

"It's her" that was the ghoul she saved who thanked her.

[@arsewynd]

In case you missed it the observatory is the HQ of the New California republic, and IMO Moldaver is the current leader of the NCR. On re watching I noticed that about four of the episode one raiders were far more disciplined then the others, these I think were NCR troopers. The rest of the raiders were hired thugs. When the prisoners were kneeling, behind them on the right hand side is the same person who escorts Lucy into the observatory and then stands guard. Norm, do not enter the pod. Not much bud can do to him, Norm can just stomp Buds jar For once Max tells the truth and Dane ignores it.

[@JcBravo8]

Given WOG that the NCR exists exists in a reduced form outside of the SS area, Moldavar's gang is more likely a ragtag militia of Shady Sands survivors coopting a former NCR base or at least the vestiges of its flags/symbol to rally other fighters. Given the cult that sprung up in the years after Shady Sands, she's probably tried hard to build as much a defense to protect the cold fusion tech.

[@TitusOfPavis]

I enjoyed your reaction videos for Fallout. You seemed to be on top of things and actually paying attention. Some of the other reaction videos for Fallout I watched left me feeling like the reactors were not paying attention and were more interested in putting on their own show. Good job with your reaction videos. For season 2, I am looking forward to seeing how Lucy and Coop's relationship/friendship develops. How will Lucy feel about Coop having her finger now? Coop can probably answer a lot of Lucy's questions about the last 200+ years and maybe correct some things from her Vault-Tec education. Lucy has never been around dogs before and now she is traveling with Four. Coop can teach her about dogs, too. Also, Lucy grew up watching Coop's movies, so I wonder if that will come up.

[@silberkralle1866]

Happy you enjoyed the show. It's pretty fun and largely accurate. A bit of context to the relations of the game series. After exiting the vault in Fallout 1 "Shady Sands" is the first settlement you come across. It is a small walled farming town plagued by occasional raider attacks. In Fallout 2 the "New California Republic" (short NCR) exists and "Shady Sands" is the founding city. It is a major city to explore later in the game and it is quite advanced as well as civilized, lots of political intrigue to be found. Fallout New Vegas (a standalone branchoff from Fallout 3) features the titular city of "New Vegas" where a certain big name corpo ?lives/lived?. The NCR played a major role as an expanding nation in this game and the Brotherhood of Steel also had a minor presence. The game was very focused on many different factions and interest groups. It is considered by many one of the best games in the series. The games always had a bit of time difference between them so history inbetween always evolved. It was fun finding out how the world had changed with every new release. A faction that could be good in one game could end up problematic or conflicting in the next. The tv series is set after the events of all the existing games. The characters are also mostly original. But if we are going to New Vegas, then fans like me might be hyped about potential cameos. I for one am really curios about how the game events of New Vegas have played out in the show. But I'm also looking forward to your reactions, and I'm wondering if we all will get to see more of the other factions as well as the various terrors of the wasteland.

Hank must have planned at some point to leave Vault 33 to go to New Vegas. Perhaps taking his two children with him. Moldaver merely preempted his actions. Had he left earlier then the Vault massacre would have been avoided. So that's on him too.

Never knew that I needed the sis' to make a southern accent. Thank you xD

[@firstelderd]

22:02 That is a Deathclaw skull. We didn't really see many creatures from the games in the show, but Deathclaws are basically the biggest baddest ones Agreed, one of the best finales ever

[@mathieucaya]

But the Yao guai we got was really cool!

[@alcor4670]

How cool would it be if Season 2 introduces them, the Super Mutants, and Glowing Ones?

[@Covenantt666]

I've watched the show 3 times and 15-20 reactions to it but when Barb says: "By dropping the bomb ourselves." it still gives me full-body chills.

[@skiena]

Remember in episode 2 when Lucy was told "will you want the same things when you become a different animal altogether?" This aplies to Maximus and Lucy in this episode. They are both changed.

[@cmdrDiscoCat]

While Barb suggested Vault Tec could start the nuclear apocalypse, it's unclear yet if that's what happened. In the games it's unclear too, but vault tec maybe starting bombing was a theory some fans had, so it's fun to see it mentioned here. The cool thing with the show, is that it happens after all the games. So they're writing new cannon for the saga. Anything can happen in season 2, and us people who played all the games may have more educated guesses... but they're still just guesses :p Playing the games would allow you to see some of the vaults, and the experiments that were happening in them, so maybe one of you can play them while the other spectates. Or share the controller/keyboard and mouse :)

[@echosr2139]

If I remember correctly in Fallout 3 the bomb in Megaton has a vault tec logo on it.

[@cmdrDiscoCat]

If I remember correctly, it's not a vault tec logo, but a similar one. So a different company, but I don't think that logo ever reappeared in any of the games. Your guess is as good as mine on this. It can be a company tied to vault tec... Or a totally different company. The show is evolving the cannon so maybe they'll give us more Intel on how exactly the end happened.

[@echosr2139]

@@cmdrDiscoCat yeah you may be right. I haven't played Fallout 3 in a few years. Now I need to re play it

[@juansanchezvilla-lobosrami5404]

There is a piece of info in a computer in F3 that suggests that Vault Tec indeed dropped the first bombs if I recall correctly.

[@ElmStReactions]

Great reaction lassies, this is definitely one of my favourite series. The code hank put in was the date the first game came out

[@JetLagRecords]

Haylo & Kiss, I'm hooked on your videos, keep them rolling

[@mikedignum1868]

FYI - Shady Sands was founded by former vault dwellers... Now Lucy is an entirely different creature altogether. I still think The Ghoul is channeling Outlaw Josey Wales.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

Josey Wales was still a decent man, just a bad ass. The Ghoul is evil.

[@kvltslime2261]

dunno if it was mentioned but the code that hank put in was the date the first fallout game came out

[@redviper6805]

That was a shocker! One bombshell after another after another! Can’t wait for season 2!

[@Scyth0r]

Maximus realised he wanted to be a good person & a hero, not a Knight. He just thought before now that Knights were heroes.

[@random3x70]

fun fact: the code Hank enters to activate cold fusion was the original release date of the first Fallout 10/10/97

[@MarcosElMalo2]

That’s interesting trivia or an Easter Egg. It’s not a “fun” fact.

[@cbobwhite5768]

Cooper's wife wouldn't be in Vault 31, that's for lower management, like Betty and Hank. She was their boss, so she would be in a vault, with upper management.

[@JohnGundy]

I just watched this series a few weeks back cause I heard all the hype. Being a fan of the games, I’m glad it turned out great. Excited for season 2 & some new vegas.

[@jackson857]

Great reaction ladies. Fallout is my favourite show of the year so far and there have been some really good shows this year.

[@Nyx__]

Loved watching this with you

[@raydurz]

Somebody mentioned on Reddit, I believe, that blonde girl, Stephanie Harper, might be the Nuka cola Girl. Kinda looks like her.

[@Fonny222]

The amount of brain damage Maximus must have from all the hits to the head. He was knocked unconscious multiple times over the course of the show haha.

[@triv1993]

How about reacting to the video that shows every known vault and what those were designed for? It is pretty interesting, would love to see your reactions to that one.

[@hasanhejazi4831]

PLEASE! WATCH THE HATEFUL 8! the actor who plays the ghoul is a leading role in that film and it is hands down his best and most iconic character!

[@nkijes24]

"The vaults were never meant to save anyone"

[@seannorth6968]

Such a satisfying season & keep so close to the game wish was a relief 🤘 another outstanding reaction ladies both never fail to entertain with your wit & insight 🙏 sending good vibes and happiness to both 🙏🌻🐝💖

[@jokester3076]

Stephanie Harper *blonde girl* is the model for one the company mascots Vault girl.

[@acereporter73]

I think there's a chance that young Maximus met young Lucy when they were kids in Shady Sands, but forgot about each other over time...

[@timr6318]

I don't think you two have reacted to any Western animation yet, but I'd love to see you two react to Invincible if one or both of you haven't seen it yet. One of the best animated shows out right now.

[@rowenatulley852]

Some people claim that Vault-Tec didn't really drop the bomb, and that Barb only suggested it. However, Moldaver said something like, "That's how Vault-Tec deals with competition [Shady Sands], just like they did 200 years ago [the original end of the world]. To me, this pretty much confirms Vault-Tec dropped the bombs . . .

[@johnmiller7682]

I don't think Barb is in vault 31. Everyone there was junior executives, like Hank and Betty. With Bud in charge. Barb would have been in a vault for senior executives. Remember, everyone in vault 31 are Buds buds. I highly doubt that Betty is one of Buds buds. Again, she seemed to be in charge.

[@gregmcdougall4773]

I like that they set it up so that throughout the series you think these are the good guys and these are the bad guys. Then at the very end they switch it around. Well written.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

Hank does have a point when he says he and Moldaver are the same. They both operate on the ethical principle that “The ends justify the means.” This is the justification for murdering others to bring about a better world. Both Hank and Moldaver did this (albeit Hank did it at a genocidal scale), each thinking that their cause was the right one. There’s a subtle clue in the scene where the vault dwellers are discussing how to rehabilitate the raiders. Someone says, “I can teach them John Stewart Mill”. Mill was the philosopher who propounded the theory of Utilitarianism.

[@danquerry3436]

Wonderfully well done. Your reactions were Super Duper *and* Okie Dokie!

[@leitmotif618]

Loved your reactions to this series! Thank you for sharing.

[@bvbxiong5791]

"they" know her cause she made the 2 stoners release them back in ep.4...remember?

[@CollideFan1]

Nothing like finding out the people you love the most are evil people who played a part in ending the world. Lucy is definitely changed and not for the better. Hopefully traveling with the Ghoul, he can help steer her away from the dark path he took.

[@iamacreature676]

In the games you can come across nukes that didn't go off and they have vault-tec logos on them

[@bajasmancer]

A little easter egg, the code Hank gives Moldaver is the release date of Fallout 1 : )

[@jlilley73]

"True love, or --" "Power." "Homies."

[@ParlonsAstronomie]

Fun fact : all of the vault ideas that was stated in the reunion are references to real vault that we can visit in the game.
