Snake Oil Salesman Gives Thaddeus a Miracle Cure | Fallout | Prime Video

[@loppy6481]

I hope the salesmen just turns up in every single season lol

[@TheDaxter11]

Imagine if he's just the Maiq the Liar of the Fallout universe/show, but instead of lying its being a snake oil salesman.

[@timothyphillips5770]

@@TheDaxter11 oh that fusion core is going to get this guy into the wrong place. somewhere he doesnt belong. He knows too much somehow.

[@TheVoltDenatsu]

​@@timothyphillips5770i have a theory that the salesman was once in a vault which was experimenting on several types of serums to stop disease and aging. But their aux power/fusion core died. He uses his science of alchemy but it's got a vault tec/enclave vibe about it. So I think he's going to a vault and is essentially the Master, in a perfect FEV mutant form

[@Bothrops_Asper_89]

Season? I want him to pop up in every future Fallout game. Kinda like that cat from Elder Scrolls or the developers in Pokemon.

[@TheVoltDenatsu]

@@Bothrops_Asper_89 imagine if he's the intro NPC 😂 like the Skyrim guy. I can already hear him. "OOOHHH, you're Awaaaeekee, what do you prefer your, SPECIAL STATS AS? Strong, or the BENIIIGN?"

0:32 - 0:53 is so spot on to how Fallout NPC’s talk. close your eyes and you can easily imagine this guy as a talking head

“Place is radioactive as hell” It obviously wasn’t loud enough for at least one person.

[@lightspeeder]

only made sense to me after rewatching it

[@Wh40kFinatic]

I totally missed that the first watching. Foreshadowing.

[@evilcarlonis9015]

In fallout games there is a perk named ghoulish that cures you with radiation: Ghoulish Endurance Level 9 Rank 1: Sure, you're still human - on the outside! Radiation now regenerates your lost Health. Rank 2: Radiation now regenerates even more of your lost Health. Rank 3: Radiation now regenerates even more of your lost Health, and some Feral Ghouls will randomly become friendly. (aww cute)

[@tacosombrero1879]

That equip sound 1:08 God I love it

[@illuminate8979]

Best thing about fallout is the original sound effects. Too many shows off video game adaptations in general try to create their own sounds for it, which cuts the connection that people have with the games itself. It’s why fnaf did so well and so did mario.

[@Fallout4277]

@@illuminate8979 no I don’t know who originally said this quote but in the words of a person who knows their shit “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”

thank you for pointing this out. long time fallout fan and i missed it. this show amazes me! thank you for the comment. upvote from me :)

[@TheVoltDenatsu]

Also the clinking of glass sound if you listen carefully is the noise objects make when they are being moved and hit objects in the game

[@elihughes8923]

Is he gonna turn into a super mutant or ghoul?

[@Tahmaysu]

Thaddeus is probably the lowest INT character in the show trusting this guy and his "miracle cure" to actually work.

[@kingcamelot1395]

It was that or lose your foot and/or die to infection. So it's kind of a "pick your poison" deal.

Meh... I think it's wrong to call him that because his serums do work, just more literally than you'd expect. He's more of a living, breathing Monkey's Paw.

[@absolutezerochill2700]

​@@awesometwitchynah the serum bent his big toe COMPLETELY the wrong way. Idk how he manages walk after that.

[@HoDoBoDo]

This man was gonna kill himself before Thaddeus came along btw 😂. Just because he had no customers 💀...

[@sterlingarcher74]

Well he’s turning everyone into ghouls. Hard to get repeat customers that way. 😂

[@Rich-fr2yv]

Nah. The chickens said they didn't want to see him anymore

[@bagman234]

Or maybe he was testing just how good his miracle drug worked?

[@CS-si4nn]

​@@bagman234good observation

[@musicburst2513]

But, now he has a fusion core. I don't think he would have to work anytime soon.

[@magicoddball1452]

Theres one of two things Thaddeus recieved here: - Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV) (I doubt that the snake oil salesman has access to any FEV because Mariposa has been destroyed and is covered in rubble by the events of the show, plus whenever a human comes in contact with FEV their skin deteriorates which is what happens in fallout 1, but becoming a super mutant allows you to be immune to rads along with being a ghoul) -Ghoul Serum? (Hancock in fallout 4 talks about a drug that turned him into a ghoul which could mean the drug thaddeus took and Maximus said that he thinks he's a ghoul now) It would be cool if thaddeus turned into a super mutant but there's no way this random guy just happens to have FEV lying around in his briefcase

[@hitn-gaming]

I still have the suspision that the doctor was a scientist from Vault 4 and was banished. They had clearly some sort of mutagen - maybe another strain of the FEV virus, but highly modified. Go pause at 2:24 - that big toe isn't formed correctly, so he's already mutating.

[@shauneth03]

they teased us a mutant in the second episode, i think it has to be a mutant ... but people in the show say it otherwise

[@andromedach]

this random guy could have a whole incredible back story which makes him someone very special. that is the fun of the fallout stories, so many vaults and so many survivors

[@NyxxyNightstar]

i think it’s whatever hancock took to become a ghoul

[@FlyJonat]

Unless the salesman is an enclave agent undercover, the second option is most likely.

[@JennyDecimal]

I absolutely loved the Salesman character, he's so goddamn entertaining.

[@joshuahendricks9558]

He drops the biggest clue. "Thats radioactive as hell", "Well you dont have to worry about that anymore do you buddy boy"

[@yoelchristian6332]

2:49 i just realize when the snake oil salesman said to Thadeus for doesn't have to worry about the radiation on Shady Sands is literally giving him a clue where he will turn to be Ghoul.

[@lprules619]

A ghoul or a super mutant. I don't believe ghouls can heal from injuries, but it would explain how the ghoul seemingly survived his bullet wounds in Filly🤔. A super mutant however can heal from injuries and is immune to radiation.

[@CedricBassman]

@@lprules619 Ghouls have a healing factor through absorbing radiation.

[@hidan407]

​@@lprules619The ghoul heavily hinted that he was under the effects of alot of drugs.

[@lprules619]

@@CedricBassman it would make sense, either by drinking irradiated water or standing at or near a radiated source🤔🤷

[@ZeekoRamen]

The only way for you to turn into a ghoul is by surviving a nuclear war and being exposed to a lot of radiation. The salesman most likely gave him FEV.

[@ryans6191]

I love that they use the sound effect from the game when he pulls out the fusion core/

[@NelsonPradoDS]

He gave him a FEV. Supermutants on SEASON 2!!!

[@danielaponte4054]

Hes going to be next Harold, remember FEV doesn't always turns you into a super mutant

[@theprofessional155]

When he tells him he won't need to worry about that anymore Super Mutants are immune to radiation. I hope that he becomes the super mutant companion in the show. I just hope they don't mess up his appearance or CGI in season 2.

[@mrconroy4672]

That’s going to be a few years from now. I don’t think we should worry about that.

[@theshield2004]

[@MrCaptnrex]

nah hes becoming a ghoul, supermutants have to be soaked in FEV

[@theprofessional155]

@@MrCaptnrex not true . Soaking is an instant transformation. A small amount is transformation over time . Fallout 3 confirms this with Sid an insane captive at vault 87 that was exposed to the FEV with a small amount since the vault had little left . He screams about being exposed to it and can feel himself changing .

[@TheCapitalWanderer]

i'm cool with it being a CGI, as long the CG Artists are properly credited and it looks as good as Davy Jones from PoTC2.

[@melissalee2153]

That's FEV, Ghoulism can heal major wounds, but slower, over time. That's too fast for that, that has to FEV, unless is something new...either that or a backwoods stimpack.

nope ghoul. its concentrated.

Snake Oil Salesman sure put a lot of points in Charisma and Intelligence. He can craft rank 3 chems and persuade others to put the gun down. 😂

[@OuterEdgeOutpost]

This is definitely Hancock’s ghoul drug, not FEV. It would be really weird writing to have Maximus say “I think you’re a ghoul” if that’s not the idea they wanted to convey.

[@Rich-fr2yv]

Maximus is kind of an idiot though

[@OuterEdgeOutpost]

@@Rich-fr2yv Yeah but why would the writers throw that in just to muddy the issue? It’s a well written show, these guys understand economy of information. No reason to throw out red herrings like that only to contradict them in the next season.

Ghouls don’t heal body parts, if you shoot a ghouls arm off, it does not come back.

[@OuterEdgeOutpost]

@@zeikers Yeah, that seems to be a new idea introduced by the show. It actually makes sense though because how else would ghouls stay fully intact for hundreds of years? Also we do know glowing ones can heal them with radiation so it’s not unprecedented.

[@TRPB-]

So, Ghoul or Super Mutant? Which do you guys think? I think he's gonna turn into a super mutant. They were teased in the Enclave, and there were ghouls all over the series, would be lame to add ANOTHER ghoul character. I think Super Mutant would be awesome and would complete the team.

[@DaShoopdahoop]

I fully believe that the serum in the show is a diluted form of FEV, even though the Vats were destroyed by the Vault Dweller, and later the Enclave it was reopened again by the Chosen One in Fallout 2. It wouldn't be too far of a stretch to think that some scavengers went to Mariposa and managed to figure out a form of FEV that would work on ghouls to not become feral

[@tatianapreobrazhenskaya9777]

All ghouls eventually become feral, but it may take a long time and he's freshly minted.

[@stormtempterf8058]

Mariposa wasn't the only place to have FEV either. Just the primary one that created the mutants. You also have the followers of the Master. Not all of them would have been killed, especially on the civilian 'hearts and minds' religious side of the Master's plan. Maybe he's a lunatic ex-priest from the Unity church.

[@Retrovorious]

@@tatianapreobrazhenskaya9777Not all ghouls necessarily turn feral, there are a few prewar ghouls in Fallout universe that still haven’t turned.

@@stormtempterf8058 Mariposa's FEV was "perfected" either by Westek or the Master himself, Harold even became a ghoul like mutant after being exposed to it. It's not impossible to imagine that a small amount of FEV and radiation could turn someone into a ghoul

It's a little odd they named him "Snake Oil Salesman".... when he quite literally sold exactly what he said he would... even if the side effects may prove to be... undesirable in the future. if anything he would be a "Mysterious/Odd Salesman". I finally got a chance to sit down and watch the whole season and its probably one of my biggest dissapointments we didn't get to find out more about him, how he knows to make these things (is he just blindly mixing stuff and getting lucky? or does he know what he's doing?), if so, HOW does he know to make these things?
