Here’s the ultimate kick to the face: Shady Sands was founded by the people who left Vault 15. It was a successful Vault Tech experiment that actually made the world a better place. And then Maclean came along and nuked it, because he did not want the Vault Tech mission to be compromised. Not knowing the whole time he had burned down the work he wanted so desperately to see.

[@bigyeticane]

Kind of. Hank wanted a vault-tec controlled society. The people who made a civilization from vault 15 didn't make the kind of civilization that Bud wanted to see.

A quick note about Jonathan Nolan. He isn't just Christopher's brother, he was the screenwriter for most of Christopher's projects. Wrote the scripts for Batman Begins, the Dark Knight, the Dark Knight Rises, Memento, Interstellar, The Prestige and was Head screenwriter for Westworld, which like Fallout he directed multiple episodes as well.

Insane, did not know that. The man deserves that aknowledgement.

[@CuddleBuddee]

1:00:00 Nah, you framed it well enough sir. Great reaction from both ya. Was great finding out Mrs. was a gamer and liked fallout no less. Really good empathy and thoughts, following the story beats well. My personal favorite of the reactions, y'all didn't hate on Maximus unnecessarily, gave him a chance, and understood his actions for the most part. Been following y'all for several series/movies and so glad KZbin recommended hall. Can't wait for more from y'all. 🤙🏾

[@thejamppa]

Maximus is a good person I think. He was saved by a knight of Brotherhood of the Steel. That is his core principle. To live up like knight who saved him. that is why he let Titus' die, because Titus' wasn't fitting in Maximus' idea of knight (and Titus' was also jerk who threatened him). That ideal is: Knight is someone who protects the weak. He has been in religious zealot organization, where he gets beaten and bullied. He has been weak his entire life. He has pretty much 7 year old's level communication outside hierarchy. Now he has been recognized and cheered, he is in position of power. With his luck and lack of knowledge... I am interested to see what happens to Maximus' in second season. I know Many doesn't see Maximus as that interesting or well written character. He is not the level of Lucy or The Ghoul, but the foundation they built on Maximus' character development is really interesting.

[@Erulin68]

There is one question I haven't seen any reactor ask. Of all of the characters from Vault 31, who obviously worked for Vault Tec before the bombs dropped, there is one character from 31 we haven't seen before it all started and the Ghoul was still Cooper. And that's Stephanie One Eye, so the question is who was she and what did she do at Vault Tec ?

[@kc1john]

And of course she was not so shockingly appointed as the new Overseer for Vault 32. I’m sure we’re going to get a lot more flashbacks next season, especially since there’s still parts of Cooper’s story that need to be covered.

[@westfinest20]

[@spookyspooks33]

the questions I was left with after finishing was -how did Moldavor live that long (i could’ve missed how they explained that if they did) -the blonde women w/the eye patch, I want to know how she’s involved in all of this -when the bombs dropped the ghoul was with his daughter but he says to hank “where’s my family” so clearly he has reason to believe his daughter might also be alive too so I wonder what happened to that. i’m sure these will get answered next season & i cannot waittttt! great reaction per usuall🫶🏻

[@bigyeticane]

MVP's/RiP: Lee Moldaver & Siggi Wilzig. Wilzig identified the cold fusion key, betrayed The Enclave, stole the key, risked his life and trekked across the United States to reach California with the key in his body. Then he killed himself to make it more likely for cold fusion to reach Moldaver. Moldaver invented cold fusion, and instead of resting on her billionaire laurels, she crossed time and became an absolute badass in order to see her life's work gifted to humanity right before she died.

I think it's fun that Maximus has apparently been told all his life that the vaults are full of monsters because, figuratively, that's totally true. Especially the vaults with "management" in them. And, for a number of the vaults, it's probably literally true.

The code dad entered 101097 was the date of 1st Fallout game release 10 October 1997 :D

[@marauderdz]

The Brotherhood is all about the ends justifying the means, so no surprise Maximus defaults to that mindset at every opportunity.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

Yeah, it's the only thing he's known since he was a kid. I think it's interesting that Maximus has this idea of what a Knight is supposed to be but the only person he's seen actually demonstrate those values in practice is Lucy. When she made him give back Vault 4's fusion core because it would be wrong to take it and leave them to die -- even though it meant not getting to use the power armor -- I think that really showed Maximus that there can actually be good and heroic people... and those people aren't the Brotherhood. Lucy is the Knight that Maximus has been imagining ever since he climbed out of that refrigerator as a kid.

[@Vurt.451]

"Who is that shady figure up there?" (during the exec meeting). Probably ..... The Enclave !!!!

[@folcotook3049]

If you go back and watch any of the "World of Tomorrow" movies from the 50s/60s, you'd see a lot of the inspiration on the pre-war US for the Fallout universe. Then it got blown up. Yes that was Mr. House. Yeah, Oct 10, 1997 was the release date for the first Fallout game. I think Dane was trying to help Maximus recover from bringing back the fake head by declaring he'd killed the leader and should be made a knight.

[@corpusD]

What’s interesting is how Dane cheered Maximus for knighthood. One way Romans and others would get a war leader (such as Roman generals or even Ceasar) was when voted by warriors in popular acclaim at a battle. Dane may be a spy of the former legion or working for the Elder who spared Maximus.

[@xPhlyt]

1 thing I've just noticed is when Norm got locked in Vault 31 and Bud told him he should get in the pod, he said there's no food besides the odd bug. How do the bugs get in? Maybe there's a hole in the vault somewhere and if there is maybe Norm finds a way to escape instead of getting in the pod 🤷‍♂️ And the code 101097 is when the 1st game released, good catch.

[@drmengus]

I like the nods to New Vegas alongside the last two episodes foreshadowing the final scene: the helmet that the bullet farmer was using, the Salsaparrilla sign, and the cameo of the boss of RoboCo. Also, the ghoul saying that cannibalism is a bit too much... like Jinx in Arcane, who is voiced by Lucy's actress.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

The aesthetic of the Fallout world is a sub-genre of retro-futurism known as "atompunk." Basically, it's like steampunk but, instead of an alternate history where computers and advanced machinery were invented in Victorian times and run on steam and gears and everything's made of brass, it's an alternate history where atomic power became the big thing (like people in our world in the 1950s and '60s assumed it was going to be), allowing the world to develop into the "ultra-modern world of the future!" that those people of the '50s and '60s imagined when they imagined the year 2000 and beyond.

I haven't fast traveled since Daggerfall where it is pretty much mandatory due the map size. I have used builtin mechanics for it though (carriages etc), but never magic travel. New Vegas looks completely busted up, I'm guessing something happened between FONV and the series that we're not yet aware of.

[@LoricSwift]

I miss the immersive fast travel, like all the boats and silt striders in Morrowind!

[@LoricSwift]

21:44 I believe Wilzig used 'Four' as a nick-name / short-name as 'CX-404' was a bit of a mouthful.

[@cookiedestroyer2801]

27:01 Does Maximus even know where vault 33 is?

[@johnplaysgames3120]

Probably not at that moment, but, with the vault's number, he at least has something to go on to track her down. On the other hand, maybe he does. I mean, it's not like the entrances to the vaults are very well hidden. AND they have big numbers on the doors so, really, how hard could it be to find the one you're looking for? Plus, everyone on the surfaces seem to be pretty aware of all the vaults, even if they don't know what goes on inside or whether the people inside are even alive (e.g. how the shopkeeper in Filly just assumed all the vault-dwellers were dead by that point).

[@cookiedestroyer2801]

@@johnplaysgames3120 You got a point that vault 33 isn't well hidden so the people around it probably know about it. But there are plenty of vaults that are hidden though. And of course just because surface dwellers are aware of vaults does not mean they know where they all are.

[@zenleto]

They got everything right with this show. The care and detail is amazing, more than anyone could for probably. Wonderful reaction as always , guys. Happy gaming!

I just recently started playing New Vegas for the first time. I've played some of the other Fallout games (not 76), but never played finished any of them due to consistent bad luck with PC hardware. I'm extremely tedious with my OCD. Open world games. Read all the things,check all the things, must do all side quests, must find all the places, etc. Games with weight and item limits frustrate me. Throw in books/notes/lore, my gods. I spend several hours just finding and reading books in Skyrim before I even attempted to see the Greybeards xD Also playing Dragon Age Inquisition FTFT.. same deal. I'm about 18 hours in and haven't finished The Hinterlands. But, I'm glad I can zone out

[@Fairygrl_TW]

It is a nostalgic feel. Love the Retro visuals and sounds. Lucy got what we got as kids, where parents back in the day always pulled the do as I say not as I do. Its def what the elites would do...Nuke us, and those locked in protection, ruled by thoughts and ways that keep them under control. In the Fallout world, u could live forever by becoming a robo brain. Vault tec the true villain. Im hoping to see, super mutants, synths, liberty prime and more factions in seasons to come. Not easy to fast travel in Fallouts only because of the random missions/finds u get when exploring the world. Because...I love fast travel also, but its the reason I keep finding new stuff even in my 60+ play thru's, lol. Thanx so much, take care, Peace

[@bulletsandbracelets4140]

About going around and picking up all the fast travels - YEP. I'm not a huge fan of open worlds, but the last big one I made a significant way into was Dragon Age: Inquisition. And every time I opened up a new area, first thing I did was go around and get all the camps! 100% my way to go through areas. Especially if those become spawn points, because I know I'm not going to stay alive long in a new place XD I just started a playthrough of Fallout 3 after watching the show after owning it for a while. Starting out as a shooting build was a mistake for me since ammo is limited (I'm a spray and pray player, lmao), but once I switched to melee I'm having a blast. Not sure I'll get through the entire game, but we'll see!

An epic twist at the ending episode and a sad one. Two main characters learning the person they love the most are nothing more than genocidal mass murderers. It would have been game over for dad. I don't care who you are, you don't hurt my mother, especially like that. Cooper's family wouldn't be in Vault 31, that's for Buds Buds. Barb is a top executive and would be somewhere else, maybe New Vegas? The NCR remnants didn't stand a chance against the BOS, they should have tried to get more soldiers there since this cold fusion is so important.
