26:06 Ghouls are basically humans whose bodies have changed from heavy radiation exposure & didn’t die from it. The radiation exposure also stops them from aging, so they can live hundreds of years. However, the radiation exposure can also affect their minds, turning them feral. When they become feral, they’re basically like zombies, & they’re the fast kind.

[@sugarbomb1346]

Doesn't stop aging. Just slows it down

[@fentonstrauss7304]

i am surprise the ghoul bite didn't turn human into another ghoul, just spread small radiation on them

[@jenk4545]

​@fentonstrauss7304 That's not how radiation works. Everybody who lives on the surface is being exposed to radiation constantly. If you live long enough or get exposed to a big dose you can become a ghoul, but it's not like the ghouls themselves are so radioactive that they can turn people into ghouls.

[@alshabib5849]

While the way ferals work is kind of left open, i've always interpreted it as the brain aging when the body wasnt. most of the pre war ghouls you meet in the games are only non feral because they take extreme pains to stay focused on something, as soon as they settle down Dementia hits and they go feral (that isnt explicitly the case in this show however and there are rules introduced for the show)

[@boxbox0000]

@@fentonstrauss7304 Ghouls aren't exactly the cause of an infectious disease/virus/organism like every other zombies in fiction, like they said they're mutations caused by radiation so it cannot spread because the source isn't biological. On another note, the humans who have survived whilst being exposed to radiation constantly have grown somewhat resistant to radiation, although not by a whole lot. It's possible it takes quite a lot of radiation exposure before someone effectively turns into one, and the bite from a regular feral isn't quite enough. Not quite so sure about glowing ghouls though.

[@Metaljacket420]

The whole 'Duck and cover' thing is allot more based in science and practicality than most think, obviously not going to save anyone in the blast zone but nothing would. Ducking and covering accomplishes a few things, 1: Prevents blindness and skin burns from the detonation flash, 2: Keeps people from panicking, 3: Prevents or at least reduces injury from glass and falling debris etc. from the subsequent shockwave which causes most of the damage/injuries.

[@firecat4529]

[@Squeenix1]

I don’t think this could’ve been better. Incredible 1st introduction to the fallout universe. Back in 2008, when I was playing fallout 3, I never would’ve thought we’d get a quality live action series in the future. What a time 😅

[@michaelwolf8690]

Muldaver is kind of a perfect villain. She's not a big scene-hog but what little she shares creates so many questions. And she's a perfectly sympathetic if not heroic villain but they don't squander that in the beginning so you can believe anything about her you want.

[@chaost4544]

This series does a great job with its setting and immersing the viewer into that universe. Other video game adaptations fail miserably at establishing that simple thing. It feels like we're watching a Fallout game. We're not watching what a producer who hasn't seen or played the videogame thinks the Fallout universe is.

[@nichescenes]

To be fair almost all productions know how to do that it’s just sometime executive meddling or the person looks down on it and knows the budget can’t do it and just does whatever execs want or the execs don’t meddle enough. Sometimes it’s luck. Beetlejuice originally was said to be a bad idea for example. Also I see IMDb ratings with low scores saying the series doesn’t spoon feed enough aka lotta show don’t tell lol can’t win. Some critics also complain that too much is bloated in series and they need to slow down and have less overall. I can see people also annoyed by the setting. But yeah fans will like it. That’s what matters but you need non fans to like it so we get more

I know a little bit about the lore of Fallout, but have never played any of the games. With that being said, this first episode did an amazing job of roping us nongamers in.

TLoU had the advantage of following the game’s story. Fallout tells its own. I think that deserves being called out as better than TLoU, but they both stand as great tellings of their franchises.

[@markbrowning4334]

Well.....see, you're partially right. You're right there all over the point, but you still missed it a bit. The Last of Us did have a story to follow, but it stupidly chose not to. It alienated everything great about the game right down to every character. It failed miserably and seemingly on purpose. Fallout doesn't exactly have a story to follow, yet the series feels exactly like a Fallout storyline. Both series fail hard on the fact they are boring. They are so boring and have no business being so. I don't need either to be non stop action and gunfire against infected, raiders, and mutants. But wow did both of these shows take the cowardly and lazy way out with too much mellow drama and useless dialogue to eat up minutes rather than balancing quality dialogue and personal interactions with the violent and merciless worlds they are set in. These are both boring lazy shows.

Don't jump in a pool during an explosion or a shock wave the water can carry the energy of vibrations really well. That's why you can kill fish by tapping on a glass tank. It would protect you from fire or radiant heat, up until the point the water starts to cook you instead. Basically just avoid nuclear war if you want to live a long healthy life.

The way I saw Maximus’ story and the reasoning behind why they picked him next is because they knew he injured his friend because he was jealous. The brotherhood of steel isn’t a good organization. They want their soldiers to be willing to step on the heads of their comrades if it means they complete their mission. I felt like it was clear in all the games that the brotherhood of steel is a corrupt and toxic organization.
