The really scary part? That would've been the optimistic result. The cold war arsenal of nuclear weaponry on both sides was so insanely massive, that it could've easily reduced the planet to the point where only surviving living things were deep sea bacteria. Don't get me wrong, 13 080 nuclear weapons existing in the world today is nothing to sneeze at, but it pales in comparison with what united states and soviet union used to have: United States stockpiles peaked at 31 255 warheads, while Soviet Union at their strongest had 46 000 warheads. In combined, they had around 6 times more nukes than currently is estimated to exist in world today. Think about that for a while. And back then, building nuclear weapons was very much of a dick measuring contest. Tsar Bomba was the biggest nuclear weapon that ever has been detonated: with estimations of ranging from 50-58 megatons in yield. The shockwave caused by the blast circled the entire globe three times. While it's use as a practical weapon was questionable, the fact that such weapon could be build in the first place had everyone shitting bricks. Edit: So I found a pretty neat website called "Nukemap" where you can test the effects of nuclear weapons on targets of you choosing. You can choose some of the past and current nuclear weapons like Tsar Bomba or it's never build successor Tsar bomba II that had a planned yield of 100 megatons. As bonus, you can also choose whether the detonation is airborne or surface. The website also shows estimations of radiactive fallout. nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/

1997 and 1998 are really the years that video games started to get this kind of immersive storytelling. Prior to that, speech was difficult to incorporate into most games, and graphics weren't quite where they needed to be -- oh, and floppy disc's storage limitations put severe limits on what you could do. Once all those pieces came together, though, there were a bunch of games that started to change how we look at video game narratives (Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Metal Gear Solid, Thief: the Dark Project, and Half-Life are the ones that come to mind as I write this). Even then, most of these games were developed by programmers who could write. By the mid-2000s, developers were starting to hire dedicated writers to write their game scripts, rather than having someone pull double duty, and that's when things really took off. But most of these games? They get included in best-of lists and have a heap of critical acclaim, but are vastly outsold by sports games like Madden and the latest Call of Duty military shooter, so the image of what a gamer is really hasn't changed in all that time.

It really is sad that even though games can have such fantastic story telling moments but people just think of gamers as you said, "dudes with a pizza stain on their shirt" or violent psychopaths. If you ever wanted to play a game in the series, Fallout: New Vegas would be the best from a story perspective since it touches on a lot of very interesting ethical concepts. Also I would love to see a reaction to he first 15/20 minutes of fallout 4 because right after that intro cinematic you have a gameplay section that is also really emotional too!

[@Moricant]

@@bipstymcbipste5641 People are allowed to criticise things, and for criticism to be constructive it needs to suggest changes. Ultimately game production is a business with the goal of making money for investors. If there is enough of a market for the problematic stuff you like, it will be made; if there is more profit to be made doing something else, companies will do that instead. Making a product that appeals to a broader range of customers is generally a more attractive prospect than targeting a specific niche, though, particularly as your production budget rises. Plus many developers get bored retreading the same ground over and over again, and like to change things up. Tastes and fashions in the industry change and always have; gatekeeping and playing “no true Scotsman” aren’t going to prevent that and only serve to reflect badly on the person doing it.

The chronological or release order doesn't really matter because most of the games are independent stories with at most a reference or recurring character here and there. I think just Fallout and Fallout 2 are sequels. Most games take place in different parts of the US so that also makes them very disconnected in most cases. But yeah, you're not getting more from these things because these are just the intros to the games. So once they end the game starts. But I imagine there are videos on youtube that explain the stories of these games (and others as well) for you if you don't plan on playing them.

[@Akredi]

Well, in Fallout 2 you play the descendant of your character from Fallout, and their sequel is New Vegas ( you may or may not have saved the first NCR president in Fallout and helped create it in Fallout 2 ). Events from 1 & 2 are referenced also in 3 & 4, as well as events from 3 and New Vegas in 4 so they are all interconnected.

[@generaldreagonlps6889]

Something to know when playing this these games is that transistors in the fallout universe was not widely used as it is used in our reality and in our reality, transistors are one of the most used electronic components in our computers that make our computers so advanced replacing vacuum tubes. This is why in fallout games, the computers seem so primitive.

[@CorporateG0th]

16:57 key point here - this is the "divergence point" for the alternate history of the Fallout universe. America started using atomic energy in everything rather than shying away, and in doing so also ended up passing over microcomputers. (And technically transistors) Around our time (2022) American society was still mostly a fifties dixieland style culture, and uses fission and even fusion power, they have powerful machines, but any "computers" they have are primitive, clunky machines still using vacuum tubes and punch cards. For complex tasks, in lieu of microcomputers, they use transplanted human brains (mostly from death row convicts)

[@bluelionsage99]

Fallout 1 and 2 were top down isometric games (no actual game play was shown in the Fallout 1 trailer, just some cut scene stuff). Then Fallout Vegas came which was first person. From there all have been first person (3, 4 and the online mmo 76). In 2 and 3 even if you were looking down your gun sights mid target it made an attack roll off screen for a hit. Starting in 4 if the computer detects you are aiming in the right place (hit scan) you get the hit rather than whatever value your gun skills would provide. Something called V.A.T.S. can be activated that still gives you a percent chance to hit. All of them take place after the Great War of 2077, In most of them you are a Vault Dweller coming to the surface (New Vegas being the main exception). In some the war was only 20 to 40 years ago, in others it was more than 100 years ago (You were cryo-frozen in FO 4 for example). They all share the same world design and many things like the Mister Handy robots, Nuka-Cola, and power armor crop up in all the games. [Might not be a Mister Handy in New Vegas - there are robots but of a different design). Oh yeah - no movie but there is supposed to be a Fallout series in the works for a streaming service. Plus there are many Fallout fan films on You Tube.

[@yannym4605]

just to clarify one detail. FO3 came before New Vegas. New Vegas is practically an expansion with a new zone and story for FO3. Some mechanics are also different, but it's otherwise the same game, but with a better story and a different protagonist. Although it's kind of on the rails since trying to step away from the predetermined path will usually get you jumped by packs of Deathclaws and/or swarmed by Cazadors long before you're capable of dealing with one of either species.

8:50 okay that was fucking funny. Hard agree though. Gaming is insanely demonised for what is really just an interactive medium of entertainment. It has advantaged and disadvantages over other forms of media, as all have. It even goes on well before computer games were fully popular too. TTRPG's (Tabletop RPGs) aka Pen and Paper RPGS, the precursor to video games, some might argue, were also demonised. Hell, Dungeons and Dragons was thought to be satanic in the eighties just because it drew from various religions and mythologies, so had statblocks and lore for all sorts of demons, devils and fiends, alongside gods, angels and demigods. Classically, that whole debacle was known as the Satanic Panic.

I’ll tell you a quick little story and then my opinion on the fallout franchise. (Post typing all this out me here, sorry for the chapter I just typed out.) I have younger parents then most, I’m 20 my parents are both in their early 40s, and my pops grew up playing these games when he was a kid. As I got older and started to watch my dad play these games and newer ones, I became completely and utterly infatuated with them. Fallout New Vegas, the one where you get shot in the head (twice), is hands down my favorite game of all time and most likely will always be. And I’ll never forget the Saturday mornings with my dad waiting for me and my brother in the living room waiting to play Fallout. In a few years, my own son is going to be old enough to play these games with me and I honestly cannot wait to share that with him. (My opinion on Fallout): So the first couple of fallout games were made by a studio called Interplay. They made their stories very enjoyable and non linear, from character customization to the choices you make in the world. They eventually sold the IP of fallout to Bethesda who got to work making their own fallout game in a more modern engine. Which is where we got the pile of poo that is Fallout 3. Very linear, one track, story that honestly I’ve never been able to finish myself, had to read about it because playing it put me to sleep. Bethesda tried to mainstream the game from being this epic dystopian fantasy world where your choices have an effect on the world around you into one of the mindless shooters that people garble up like candy these days. Fallout new Vegas was outsourced by Bethesda to a company call Obsidian entertainment, which had a lot of people working there that worked for interplay before the company crashed (I think, correct me if I’m wrong). Bethesda said, make us another fallout game and make it good, by the way, you have 18 months to do it, good luck ✌🏼. In 18 MONTHS, they gave us the gem that is Fallout New Vegas, with a gripping story, interesting characters, and a literally butt ton of side quests to get lost in the sauce with. There are a million things I could rattle off about but there’s at least 20 videos on KZbin explaining what I just typed out. If you read this far, you must be wishing for a nuclear winter, huh?

[@AndreyKrichevsky]

Fallout 1 and 2 are perhaps THE best examples of how to do player freedom and agency, and give players options. There's one quest in particular that blew my mind in the first game. You are sent to rescue the daughter of a village elder from a group of raiders who kidnapped her. Your options to rescue her are: 1. Kill everyine in the camp (If you made your character a good fighter) 2. Sneak in and try to sneak her out (If you made your character stealthy) 3. Buy her as a slave (If you made enough money) 4. Convince the leader to fight you in a duel over her (If your character is good in unarmed combat) 5. Intimidate the leader into letting her go (If your speech skill is high enough) 6. If you happen to play a male character, and you happen to find a leather armor and wear it, the leader of the raiders will get confused because you look just like his deceased father. If your character's intelligence is hight enough, he will notice, and you will get a special dialogue option to play along. If your character's speech skill is high enough, it works. Then you can just tell your "son" to release her and he'll listen.

16:16 Short answer: No. Not so short answer: Yes, but if it's a unavoidable war that also means the country you rule will not resist. And that in the end might make the ruler into a war criminal in the history books. But that adds "ifs" and "mights" to the answer. PS: I recommend a video with the initial gameplay moments of Fallout 4!

[@jasonrichter5161]

I enjoyed this video and I'm glad you liked the Fallout trailer. To fully discuss the links between the various fallout games, I might get into the weeds a bit about development history. So I'm not going to do that. I will say that Fallout 2 is a direct sequel to Fallout and the Player-Character in Fallout 2 (the Chosen One) is a descendent of the Player-Character in Fallout (the Vault Dweller) and the connections to the other games are not as direct in terms of story. They're all basically set in the same world, though. The thing about all those introduction videos is that they set the stage for where the Player starts the game and the story of the game itself unfolds afterwards. In Fallout, you start out exiting from Vault 13 and your character knows literally nothing about the outside world. In Fallout: New Vegas, your character wakes up in a doctor's house having just been treated for a head injury (and suffering brain-trauma-related amnesia). In Fallout 4, you start out at home just before the 'Great War' mentioned in the background for all other other Fallout games - then the bombs drop. So, that's different. To my knowledge, Fallout 4 doesn't have any direct story connection to the other Fallout games, aside from happening in the same world - well, the Brotherhood of Steel chapter from Fallout 3 re-locates to the Commonwealth fairly early-on in Fallout 4 and if the player wants to there's the option to team up with them. Additionally, there are some offhand mentions of events from Fallout Tactics made by some NPCs in Fallout 4 - which is interesting because Fallout Tactics was made officially non-canon when Fallout 3 was released. Of the later Fallout games, Fallout: New Vegas has the most connection to the story of Fallout and Fallout 2. Side-notes: 1) Your pre-conceived notion of a "gamer" was a surprisingly close fit for me for about a decade (from the early 1990s to the early 2000s). I'm not as skinny as I used to be. No I don't feel attacked, though I am tempted to pontificate for a while about 'gamers and the games they play.' There are reasons that stereotype exists, though I'd been thinking it had mostly faded away over the past decade. 2) Amusingly, the first time I played Fallout 4 I randomly ran across a postal-worker's uniform in one of the first few abandoned buildings I explored. I immediately thought of "The Postman" and had my character put on the uniform before heading on to the next town. That was a complete coincidence, though. It was a randomly-spawned item from the game's "loot" tables. 3) Release-order of the games in the Fallout franchise: Fallout (1997), Fallout 2 (1998), Fallout: Tactics (2001), Fallout 3 (2008), Fallout: New Vegas (2010), Fallout 4 (2015), Fallout: 76 (2018). 4) Fallout & Fallout 2 have the same game engine and are old-fashioned computer RPGs with an isometric view from above. Fallout 3 and later have a first-person perspective*, with game engines derived from Bethesda's Elder Scrolls series of games; therefore I consider them to be shooters with strong role-playing elements rather than true CRPGs. Many people find the first-person view more "immersive." I am not one of those people. * You can optionally switch to a third-person over-the-shoulder perspective. I prefer this mode, but it throws off the aim of your weapons and for some difficult combats I find I have to switch back to first-person to aim properly.

[@draxthedarkreaper]

I think one of the biggest reasons that "gamers" image hasn't changed much from the sweaty neck beard in his moms basement is for two big reasons. One is that we don't care that much about the perception of the people who don't participate in our hobby, as long as they don't try to tell us that what we do is hurting others or is morally reprehensible. Two, I think that the major media companies that used to dominate entertainment continue the trope on purpose because they are losing to video games as a medium to make a profit, and they don't understand how to appeal to a group of people that don't put up with bullshit from the people selling them their entertainment as much as others do. If a game is bad or does something we hate, WE'LL TELL YOU. Companies don't like that, they want people to consume and shut up. So they would rather have people be peer pressured in to not trying those mediums of art so they can keep the bottom line.

[@tedfoster6905]

That was a great video, Hannah! I always like seeing some of these older trailers through fresh eyes and your commentary is spot on. The Fallout series is one of my favorites, and here are some of the milestones you were asking about. Fallout 1 was released and 1997 and its sequel in 1998. Both games were top-down isometric role playing games where you controlled a small figure as your avatar to move around and explore the world. The first game was groundbreaking being one of the few role playing games at the time that wasn't a DND clone, and each of these had vast worlds to explore, numerous people and factions to interact with, a lot of dark humor and excellent storytelling. The first Fallout game took place in the year 2161 which was 87 years after the atomic war in 2077. Your character was simply known as the Vault Dweller as that was what you had emerged from to explore the surrounding world. Fallout 2 took place 80 years later in 2241 where the protagonist, grandchild of the original Vault Dweller and simply known as "The Chosen One", continued the adventure. For both games, the world to explore included an area of California and Nevada. Ten Years later, Bethesda released Fallout 3. Unlike the previous two games, this was a 1st person game in a full 3-D world that brilliantly brought the look and feel of the previous two games to life. The year was now 2277, and the world to explore was the Washington DC area with territory into Maryland and Virginia. As in the first game, you played someone from a Vault who leaves to explore and make his way in the world, and one of the most remarkable moments is at the beginning when you leave the sterile confines of the Vault and see sunshine for the first time. When your eyes adjust, you can see all the way to the horizon with a town nearby and the ruins of Washington DC in the distance. Next to come was Fallout New Vegas released in 2010 and with the world to explore being the area of the Mojave Desert, "New" Las Vegas, and the area around Hoover Dam. The game starts with you as a Courier who was kidnapped and, as you saw, was almost killed by the guy in the jacket. When you are nursed back to health, you have almost no memories of your past but a strong desire to find out what happened. In addition to the usual dark humor and excellent storytelling, this game had a great time adding in lots of music and style from the real rat-pack era of the Vegas strip. Lastly, Fallout 4 was released in 2015 and once again you are the from a Vault in the Boston, Massachusetts area. As the story goes, you are the only one to make it out and are referred to as the Sole Survivor from Vault 111. Similar to the way New Vegas introduced music, casinos, and the flavor of 50's Vegas, Fallout 4 brought a lot of colonial America influences to the story including one faction simply known as the Minutemen. And as before, the many story arcs and character writing were way above average compared to games in general. I will agree with some of your other commentators that one of the best places to enjoy the huge amount of lore is through the four seasons of Fallout Storyteller by Shodycast. The many videos that make this up can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKfUnpKmhalgl7M Thanks again for the terrific work you do!

One of the most fun characters in the game, who is in Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout 3 is named Harold. He has the weirdest story arc. When you meet him in Fallout 1 he is a ghoul (a person who's been horribly irradiated but lived, and has no skin) who has a small twig growing out of his head. You encounter him again in Fallout 2 which takes place fairly close to Fallout 1 (northern CA, Oregon and Nevada) but this time, the twig has grown and he has a full on small tree growing out of his head. Fast forward to Fallout 3 in Washington DC, and Harold has made it all the way there but has now grown roots and is a full on tree that is springing an oasis up around him. He has a bunch of cult like followers too who think he's a god like being (they are harmless thankfully). Fallout doesn't do many repeat characters so the fact that Harold is one, and is so goofy and enjoyable in his story makes him worth mentioning. The people who made these games really put some serious love into them and up through 4 I could feel it. 76, not so much, but here's hoping it rebounds!!!

the trailer for the first Fallout is one of the darkest trailers i’ve ever seen for a video game. It’s so gritty and gives me a weird feeling i can’t quite explain.

[@MagnumCarta]

Glad you enjoyed Fallout! So to give some context: Overall, Fallout is a game series that is a dark satire of the cold war set in a retro-futuristic society that is inspired by the 1950s American futurism viewpoint. While we don't have flying cars, we have fusion-powered cars. Ballistic weapons match that of 1950s and earlier but with some futuristic weapons in the form of lasers and a green "plasma" technology. Also radiation causes superhuman mutations but in grotesque forms... Each Fallout game is set with a different protagonist. The first is the Vault Dweller after a water purification chip. The 'shot in the face' game is about the Courier, a package delivery person caught up in the middle of a brewing war and choosing a side between one of four options (the fourth being you as the leader!). Your character does not die from the gunshot wound to the face but perhaps it changed the characters behavior...Up to you to decide! The last one, Fallout 4, is about the 'Sole Survivor' who is the last remnant of a vault that used cryotechnology to preserve the residents. You're the last to survive and you were there in Boston when the bomb(s) rained down. As I stated, the games are a dark satire of a "what if" scenario of nuclear armageddon. Since that was a big fear in the years after the end of WWII, most of the game's aesthetics are borrowed from 1950s America. From there the game builds on top of that of imagining a world where some people have formed communities and try to survive whilst others enact as 'raiders' freely killing and harming others over the smallest things. Also radiation caused insects to grow by factors of their size, some humans have larger lifespans from radiation at the cost of looking like ghouls or as some say 'zombies' and also there are 'supermutants': humans infected with a virus that makes them easily twice the size of a normal human but with a green skin, generally lower intelligence (some exceptions), and they are sterile. The only way to make new supermutants is to dip humans in said virus: The Forced Evolutionary Virus or 'FEV' for short.

[@xoso599]

Fallout 2 has the best opening. "An atomic spark struck by human hands quickly rage out of control . Spears of nuclear fire rained from the skies. Continents were swallowed in flames and fell beneath the boiling oceans. Humanity was almost extinguished, their spirits becoming part of the background radiation that blanketed the earth."

Thank you for this! As someone who has played all the Fallout games as they were released, it was nostalgic as hell. ❤️ Amazon Prime is doing a series based on Fallout, but there isn’t too much info yet.

The release order is Fallout 1, (Fallout 2), (Fallout 3), Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4. The chronological order is technically the same, but the intro and beginning of Fallout 4 take place before the Great War and the rest of the game takes place after New Vegas.

I've never seen your channel before, but fallout is my favorite gaming series. I used to hate shooting games, but I got talked into playing because I love character creation and fallout has a great character creator and I hate when games make you play male characters. I also love the retro futuristic style of fallout and would refuse to wear armor in favor of the prettiest dress I can find. It was fun to see your reactions! I'm glad you like the story so much. I enjoy it quite a bit.

Thanks so much for watching! I'll for sure get more fallout stuff in the future.

I don't know if someone's brought it up yet, but the narrator for the first two games in this video is Ron Pearlman. Yep. Hellboy himself. Also, my grandfather was one of the Marines set to go in if there was a land invasion of Japan. He didn't meet my Grandmother till after the war. If the bombs hadn't been dropped there's a good chance I wouldn't be here.

Btw, the Narrator is actually Ron Perlman for the first two. The last video was the voice for the Sole Survivor in Fallout 4, Brian T Delaney
