The Good (and Bad) About The Fallout Series

[@PyrocynicalVEVO]

There are a couple of corrections to do since I got some points wrong. First with the Maximus being suspected that he put the blade in the boot, that was only revealed who did it at the end of the show where the said person who cut his leg in half did it himself because he was scared scared to go to the Wasteland, and on Episode 1 it looked like that Max has done it hence why we mentioned that we didn't get any scenes if Maximus put the blade in the boot at the time causing confusion. We were not supposed to know this on the first episode because of the way it got narratively setup. Other thing to correct about Dr. Siggi Wilzig at the beginning of episode 2, he carried the cold fusion technology chip in his neck that activates the energy plant in the Los Angeles by using Maldova's tech she managed to assemble in the observatory with NCR remnants following her, in the middle of the episode 8. Maldova invented this technology, and sold to Vault Tec before the bombs fell for them to just essentially "shelve it" as it was said in episode 7 in the flashback sequence with Cooper Howard after walking out of her speech. The remnants of the enclave, that we see at the beginning of the episode 2, had the resources and blueprints to make the said Cold Fusion part, and the doctor has been working on it for a long time before he escaped the place with the dogmeat, if we follow the timeline from when dogmeat was a puppy. Doctor HAD to go to Filly settlement because the elder woman who is a merchant at the shop that talked to Lucy, was assigned a task by Maldova to escort him safely to the settlement she resides in, where the ghoul also happens to be at to hunt for said technology that the raiders meant to intercept for a good bounty, having insider information from Maldova's people. Brotherhood of Steel knew about it too, for some reason. At the beginning of episode 8, when Maximus was taken by Brotherhood of Steel, after letting Thaddeus go to not let him go back to the camp with "the ghoul mutation" in progress that the Snake Oil Salesman has given him a vial of to regenerate his leg, (otherwise BoS would find out and kill him for having a risk of becoming a ghoul), Max's friend admitted that he put the blade into the boot and not Maximus. Maximus brought fake head with screwed up face by smashing it against a debris prior to being taken, while also letting Lucy go with Dr Siggi's head to get to her father, so BoS would take him back with the head back to the Elder, and turnaround the fate of his to not get executed, but lead BoS to where Lucy is going. To point at the vials that The Ghoul was taking, and the pouches that he had hanging off the wooden cross in episode 1, when he was in the grave, they were RadAways, as you can find them in video games to remove radiation from yourself. One the Amazon video website there's a clear picture of the two bags being labelled "RADAWAY" just like in the games. We can safely assume that vials were the RadAway (or confusion on Amazon's marketing) where Lucy got escorted to by The Ghoul to sell her for the vials presumably, but then he fell unconscious due to no dosage to treat his condition. He must've thought he wouldn't make it out alive, until Lucy managed to stop Mr Handy named "Snip-Snip" from taking her organs, and free the sane ghouls that were locked in the fridge by two waste landers named Huey, and Squirrel, then warning Lucy to not free the ones that are feral by saying she shouldn't release those, but she wanted higher karma, and the label on their respected fridge doors said that they were feral. Huey and Squirrel had a lot of those vials that The Ghouls takes throughout the show, and it makes us think that it must be something else to keep the ghouls sane and isn't RadAway/RadX, and is something new that is introduced to the show in order to keep them "sane", but that doesn't explain why so many ghouls that are sane are able to survive in video games since before the bombs fell to not go feral, so vials could be the same thing Thaddeus got, making us speculate that you can make ghouls now through potions. The water chip that was brought up in Episode 3, was not just a reference to Fallout 1 it may be easily missed for anyone to find the connection. It sounded like a punchline to make people more nervous but in the end there wasn't new overseer of the vault to begin with, hence why 2 people from the council kept talking as one overseer and they needed a reelection to do as soon as possible with Hank MacLean being kidnapped, forcing election to be "rushed", yet we know how it ends after Norm finds out how elections are actually "executed" by having only people from Vault 31 to be overseers. If there's any more mistakes I'll add them here.

First 17 minutes I watched the video and he said that the Brotherhood was unstable in this series because he believes that Maximus was the one who put the razor blade on his friend's boot.

I immediately knew that he will get most of things wrong for the rest of the video and just stopped watching...

[@Fluxerium]

39:35 Because he needs Lucy in prime condition to sell her for the most vials. He also probably wants to take no risk at all in destroying the head. He can't really predict exactly what damages the explosion will cause. 57:15 He just made up the part about the two people being retired NCR soldiers. They are scavangers who probably found the NCR armor and took it for themselves. The armor itself could be labeled as fanservice but the characters themselves aren't just random people who were created specifically just to show the NCR armor. The boy is the entire reason that The Ghoul could find the big base at the end of the show. 1:00:04 Vault 4 wasn't some random filler side story. It was used to create a deeper bond between Maximus and Lucy. This can be quite clearly seen when Maximus saw Lucy getting dragged away by the vault security guards. He was being bathed in luxury with popcorn, caviar, hot showers, sofas, a TV, etc. He was basically in heaven especially when considering that he was born and raised in the wastelands. But even though he was in heaven he still gave all of that up for Lucy. And when they leave Vault 4 this is also when Maximus reveals that he wasn't who he said he was to Lucy which is a very important detail about their relationship since Lucy didn't even know his real name before this. 1:15:21 Why did he complain about her shooting "some random ghoul" and corrects himself in the next line saying this this ghoul is Lucy's mom? He says that it is later revealed that ghoul is her mom even though it was revealed way before she shot her through the close up on the necklace. He is just making up these problems for more screen time.

when pyro says Lucy's mom is from either vault 33 or 32 and that we can't tell which is bad writing while literally showing a clip with the mom in her vault suit with a giant 33 on the back really sums up how braindead this entire video was lol

[@3bodYking99]

Actually, that would be wrong. Firstly, they wear the suit of the vault they're in, no matter what vault they were originally from. So if she lived in 33 after marrying hank, she would be wearing a vault 33 suit. And secondly, the flashback turns out to be not even in a vault, lucy says to maximus that it felt like a real sun, but after her mom died she understood that it was her mom the made it feel so real. Turns out, it WAS a real sun, that flashback was from shady sands, after the mom took the kids and left the vault. Lastly, i think she was from 33, not another vault, obviously not 31, but also not 32, since her dad is from 31, and they usually marry people from the other two vaults to this one, he would marry a vault 33 resident. So it's safe to assume she is from 33.

[@misswonnykins9841]

Dogmeat being brought back from death actually served a dual purpose: she was able to track her previous master, which was useful to The Ghoul, and showcased that he still has a touch of humanity left. In his flashbacks you can see he has a close relationship with his dog (the dog even seems to be the catalyst for him finally calling his wife out on VTs shit, as they didn't allow dogs in their Vaults), and even tells Dogmeat outright that she isn't 'him'.

Like the beginning "raid" being orchestrated by Moldover, which just means that the raiders weren't acting like regular raiders for that matter, or how the freind got their leg cut up. Its assumed by everyone that its maximus but theres enough evidence to show that he isnt that petty towards his freind.

But the question would be, why wouldn't Buddy inform Hank or Betty about what happened in Vault 32?

I've just watched the start and I'm surprised how he is firing blanks several times. The nuke went off behind skyscrapers, so the flash was not directly in view, and no one was looking directly at it. Their eyes would be fine. You can argue that the girl quickly looked at it, but the length of the flash is exagerated in the show. It lasts less than a second, so her eyes are fine. The flashes from the camera indoors is why no one felt off about the flash from the nuke outside. Unless you noticed the direction was off and was partially facing it you would just think it's another camera flash. (some should have noticed though) The vault died out 2 years ago. It was not when the raiders entered. They came with the mission of getting the McLain overseer and probably didn't know what they were walking into. Is it too surprising that they were cautious? The leader is with the NCR from what we can see later, so her hiring a bunch of thugs to help raid the vault wouldn't be too surprising. Her talking through the terminal to arrange the marriage so they can enter 33 isn't something I find unbelievable at all. And for all we know she had no real knowledge of what to expect from this vault, so this plan seems good to scope out their vault before the attack. He really must have watched this in the background without paying attention. Sheesh. If you have good criticism later in the video then good for you Pyro.

Pyro really was watching subway surfer shorts while this was on in the background

[@ItsSpoody]

the beginning "raid" isn't a bunch of raiders, Moldaver has probably just employed raiders/mercs to do this job for her. If you actually watch till the end you realise that Moldaver is maybe a NCR member or just an entirely different faction from the remnants of Shady sands and whoever else. It also doesn't feel like a "realistic" take on fallout, it really does feel like a retelling of fallout vault terminal stories and tales that you hear in the games. Through out the show there is ridiculous shit that happens constantly and it's exactly how a normal game of fallout plays out.

[@whiskeye7552]

Pyro says that they would need to be spies or something from another faction to prepare disguise, forgets that they *are* spies from another faction💀. Also, it looks like there is Moldaver and couple of her skilled goons (they left the vault with her), and the rest is just whatever raiders that she hired to be meat shields (Moldaver just left them there and vaulters captured them). I don't know if showrunners meant to do this, or this is just an accident, but Moldavers bodyguards look much more professional than other raiders.

[@dadqqader]

Yeah after watching a bit i started to get why this is on slop channel. The level of research is really on the low side here. There is no way these people are actually raiders. More likely they are hired merc. They get paid to do bullshit like pretend to be vault dweller here. And there are a LOT of them in Fallout. Plus Maldever herself are most likely ex-NCR. NCR are not exactly the 'goody two-shoes' either. Shady shit like this are definitely not above NCR.

[@flynntaggart8549]

Tim Cain said it was china. He was surprised when he mentioned it in passing and some people were surprised, he thought it was apparent given how the war was going. he also states on his channel the the final straw that convinced them to do it was them finding out about the US doing research into chemical weapons (fev), which is pretty logical if you know anything about the implications of that. i also think this holds more weight than a vault tec logo being on the bomb in megaton, there are tons of examples of oversights in fallout 3, and there really isn't any other supporting evidence there to suggest it was vault tec. and, well, it's tim cain lol. and to clarify, i don't have much issue with them making it vault tec aside from them changing the lore, i think it makes the show more interesting that they did.

[@skullknight8607]

Haven't finished the whole video yet but at 18:14, the show does confirm later on that Max was not the one who stuck the blade in the shoe. It was actually the same person who got hurt because they were shit scared to go into the wilds as their first mission. 41:14 actually the whole point of the vaults was that the US Govt essentially sold out the protection of the people to private companies (such as Vault - Tec). There is a whole scene dedicated in episode 7 where you can see Vault Tec sitdown and discuss with other large private companies what kind of experiments they should choose for specific vaults to play out, it was NOT the US Govt which is an important distinction. 1:10:30 - He does try to justify it, and I think you completely missed the point that he was directly responsible for nuking sandy shades. It's earlier shown that lucy has minor flashbacks of her mother and in episode 8 itself its revealed that she discovered life outside the vault (specifically sandy shores) and took the kids with her to live on the surface. Lucy's dad however could not deal with this because it was essentially putting the entire experiment of the vault at risk, so he and his vault tec buddies basically decided to nuke the entire NCR Capital; which is also why alot of the fans are not particularly happy with the way vault tec treats rising factions in the world. It's essentially implied that if any faction becomes too strong or powerful VT can basically nuke their asses to hell and simply keep waiting until they can set their own future plans into motion.

[@kestrels-in-the-sky]

Yeah he didn't pay attention, this also shows when he talked about the ghoul shootout scene with the brotherhood. He says it was pointless to talk about the weakness and have them wait for him to attack, but the weakness was a callback to him talking about how he fought in that armor and his friends died because of that weakness. Also if you just saw someone shoot through the armor you knew was damn near unstoppable, you would probably also freeze too.

[@radiofloyd2359]

Pyro dumb lmfao. Wilzig is literally trying to get to Filly, which Lucy is very close to, as shown by the later scenes where she gets told where filly is. It makes sense she would meet him. Maximus didn't shoot the yao guai immediately 1: because he's terrified. If he misses, he's fucking done for. 2: because he has an internal conflict about saving his knight in the first place. He was literally made to go in the cave alone, he's not going to care as much about his knight after being treated like shit Ghoul was in town, probably because people do tend to go to the nearest town when looking for information about their bounty. Maximus had the lead that was leading him to town. Lucy had only the 1 coincidence which is that her vault is close to Filly. This is normal narrative coincidence. It is well established that the ghoul saves the dog, yes, partly because of him not being the kind of guy to hurt animals unwarranted, but more importantly because the dog is THE ONLY lead he has access to when it comes to the whereabouts of Wilzig, and HE KNOWS. It's why thhe first thing he does is follow the dog. A dog WOULD become loyal to the person that literally healed them back to life, btw. Obviously. The point of Wilzig dying is clearly the show making it clear that Lucy's way of life does not fly in the wasteland of the fallout TV show. There's none of that "we're all gonna make it" here. She has to learn to adapt. I guess I can understand your read on the "good guys become bad" idea, but to me this was more that version of america slowly moving towards active propaganda promoting the idea that even murdering the opponent is correct. That is to say that the film industry was actively trying to normalize dehumanizing the enemy, to make it easier to sell the idea that the enemy is inhuman. Fair criticism about the ganging up. If I were to stretch my charitable interpretation, this could be read as the raiders getting cocky given that maximus was left barely standing, though.

I liked how they added extra detail to the factions, like vault dwellers having weird sexual tendencies, or how the Brotherhood leaned more into those religious themes they previously setup

[@hakanbrakankrakan]

The BoS stuff doesn't really make sense to me, though. The religious stuff has no real counterpart in game, and they're obsessed with tech, which is very different. Almost every BoS chapter also has lacking numbers, so to just off squires so nonchalantly and often just came off as them trying to make the faction look le cool and edgy, just like the rituals and weird priests.

[@quantras2673]

As much as Bethesda seems to like the Brotherhood (considering they had a prominent role in 3, 4 and the show while they don't have much in 2 and NV) they seem to be unable to nail down exactly what they want them to be. In 3 they're fairly bland because Lyons decided he wanted to help people and are more open to outsiders, in 4 they play up the militaristic angle more and they're like a combination of the original brotherhood and Lyon's one, and in the show they play up more the knightly, religious angle.

[@hakanbrakankrakan]

@@quantras2673 I was bothered by the fact that they didn't really show other ranks and professions like Paladins. In the show, knights seem to take on the role of a paladin and have much more authority, which makes the hierarchy a bit flat. In game knights are more like normal soldiers. Also, no scouts for missions that are 100% suited for them
