April 15, 20241 yr Yeah I suppose he wouldn’t have VATS without a pip boy. Man I love the pip boy noises.
April 16, 20241 yr Just finished the season. I've never played the games, knew nothing about the story, but was hooked after the first episode. Fun season of television. I loved all of the cameos like Matt Berry and Mykelti Williamson (good to see the Elstin Limehouse and Boyd Crowder reunion), but my favorite was Spoiler Fred Armisen as the radio DJ On a side note, when I become supreme ruler of the world, I am going to decree that Walton Goggins, Jon Bernthal, and the hottie from Shogun all must star in any show that is made.

April 18, 20241 yr Maximus is one of the most annoying characters ever. He’s like a worse Finn from The Force Awakens.
April 18, 20241 yr Been under the weather so I wrapped it up. The story is kinda convoluted but I’m totally in. Looking forward to s2.

April 18, 20241 yr Ella Purnell is in Yellowjackets, which is fantastic. I had no idea she was British until someone posted it upthread. With her American accent she sounds like Emma Stone. I'm only in episode 4 but I loved the Matt Berry cameo. I would listen to that man read the goddamn phone book.

April 19, 20241 yr Now I'm going to have to rewatch just to find all the cameos. I spotted some like Armisen and Rapaport, but it sounds like I missed more than I spotted. Edited April 19, 20241 yr by RPM

April 19, 20241 yr Just finished it thought it was great. Never touched the video games. A couple of questions spoilered below. Spoiler Ghouls just live forever and as long as they consume drugs they stay normal and not zombies? How is Moldaver still alive if she was alive before the war?

Hide contents Ghouls just live forever and as long as they consume drugs they stay normal and not zombies? How is Moldaver still alive if she was alive before the war? Spoiler These answers are based on the games, which the show isn't following 100% Ghouls have an extended lifespan, due to constant regeneration from radiation exposure. Ghouls turn "feral" when they stop having normal human brain functions, but the game is vague about the direct cause. In the show, "The Ghoul" needs constant doses of specific medication to keep from turning feral, which is something the writers made up. Moldaver was most likely chilled in a cryosleep pod, like the ones shown in Vault 31. Anyone in the show who is much too old to be alive, but not a mutant/ghoul, was probably in a cryosleep pod prior to the war.

Spoiler Ghouls just live forever and as long as they consume drugs they stay normal and not zombies? How is Moldaver still alive if she was alive before the war? Pretty much. The drug thing is new, but it appears to maybe just be radaway (an anti-radiation drug prevalent in the games). It just prevents them from going feral.On the second point, my guess she got into a cryo chamber in one of the vaults. Either in vault 31 or possibly elsewhere (this concept also exists in Fallout 4 the game, in vault 111 where you start out).

April 20, 20241 yr Just finished. Enjoyed it a lot. Ending did a good job tying up the story lines while leaving plenty open for season 2. Spoiler Final scene has Dad staring at New Vegas if I'm not mistaken...
April 20, 20241 yr Finished the season , thought it was great , visuals are great, good acting , good action without a lot of slow filler parts
April 21, 20241 yr We plowed thru it last night and this afternoon. Best thing Amazon’s had in a while. Has S2 been announced? The whole community in a bomb shelter thing is interesting. As a kid I remember door to door bomb shelter peddlers. My old man would run em off. I remember him saying a couple of times he didn’t want to sit in the ground for years nor come out into what the world would be. I didn’t really understand why 31, 32, 33 were seemingly right next to each other but operated as independent separate entities.

Spoiler The gist of the story is that while some of the vaults were actual shelters designed to repopulate the earth at some point the story writers went off the deep end with the dystopian future where vault tec were just crazy bastards who made most of the vaults into social experiments, I blame fallout 3 writers who made almost all the vaults into joke encounters. The original story in fallout 1 was your vaults water chip broke and you had to do out and find a replacement which then got retconned into your water chip being designed to break. And Vaults being populated with 1 man and 99 women and vice versa. Vault 31-33 was another social experiment with connected but separate communities. And 2 of them having designed flaws Edited April 21, 20241 yr by Michael Knight

Spoiler It wasn't explicitly explained. The triad vaults were designed to be a breeding farm for the cryogenically frozen denizens of vault 31. I can only guess that Budd designed it this way to have a backup vault if one of the vaults had a problem (which did actually happen in vault 32). Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
April 21, 20241 yr in the games, I love going through vaults and figuring out just wtf was going on in there. Skeletons surrounded by ammo with a note to a girlfriend, computer terminal entries, insane clones, etc. I’m gonna start FO4 again

It's a bunch of Vault-Tec training videos for early sales associates up to senior junior executives! It's under the "extras" tab for the show They definitely are making some statements with the show's writing, I'm excited to see where they take it - and glad that Todd Howard is working to build a unified story across the games and show Edited May 6, 20241 yr by Captainant

May 7, 20241 yr Maximus is a St. Stephens (Austin) grad and Julliard trained. He looked older than than the vibe he was trying to give off as an actor which is why I think it didn’t work. Seems like he is somewhere between 18-22 in the show and very naive, and clearly he is way older. But there is a good actor in there.
May 7, 20241 yr Finished this last night.I know nothing about the video game. Which came first, this story or Rey and Finn in The Force Awakens? It was hard to not keep thinking about that.
