I feel the same way I downloaded Fallout 4 on my console. I didn't know what it was and decided to play the first part for 3 hours. I want to know more and watch at least 3 episodes of the live action, and I'm hooked
You should keep making videos, I clicked on the channel after this video intending to watch whatever else you had made regardless of what they were about.
I'm new to your channel, but this was a really outstanding video! Not only was your engagement with the story thorough, your engagement with the _feeling_ of the show and your own humorous edits were well paced and balanced with the rest of the script. As a LONGtime Fallout fan (started with Fallout 1!), it was a real treat to get to hear someone so thoroughly entertained by it break down their impressions before, during, and after the experience of the show (which was really wonderful, fun, and extremely in tune with the games). Thanks much for tackling this, and welcome to the Fallout universe! I see toward the end you say that you're now going to check out the games, which is super fun because it's just overall a great franchise. You'll have a great time with Fallout 4, Fallout 3, New Vegas, and if you've got the mood for it, DO NOT PASS UP Fallout 1 or 2! They're very different gameplay wise as they came out first, before the series went 3D. They're fun if you're fine with the mechanical differences from those that come later in the series. Fallout Tactics is the shunned step-child of the fandom because it's significantly different gameplay distilled down to near-purely turn-based combat with little to no narrative story or proper "rpg" elements, but _I personally enjoyed it plenty through the years._ *However, for engagement related to the show, you'll want Fallout 1, 2, 3, New Vegas, or 4* (or Fallout 76 if you want the multiplayer potential, but I recommend you sink your teeth into the others listed primarily). Do NOT even worry about chronology, either. You can safely feel free to jump into the series at any entrypoint, with the only considerations being setting and certain game mechanics -- ie: the fandom will favor and thus recommend some iterations over others, due to production preferences _(or loyalties...),_ *but the lore and "Fallout aesthetic and experience" is very much intact across the board,* and you'll have a good time experiencing them just like the rest of us longtimers did as they came out. Cheers! And welcome to a great series!
2:55 Yall. Homerdumb. Nuke = Nu-cle-ar. "Nu-cu-lar" is an extremely common mispronunciation that has no actual use or application. *It is always technically incorrect,* although 'accepted' simply due to how common it (the mistake) is. *Any context in which you'd say it should be correctly pronounced "nu-cle-ar"* The common mispronunciation probably comes from A) People mis-processing the sound (dyslexia at worst, easily-overlooked mistake at best), or B) cognitive association to similar words like "molecular". Enough of A or B, and plenty of people start defaulting to the incorrect version just because it's a common example for them so they're comfortable with it and don't think too hard about it. Despite this, nuclear is to be correctly pronounced "nu-cle-ar".
i was in the same situation as you, never played a fallout game, didn't knew anything about the game. but unlike you i watched the serie the day it came out, i gave it a try for the 1st episode and ended up watching the all thing in one sitting. best new serie of the year in my opinion
Fallout the show is pretty good. Can't really complain. I only dislike the word sex stuff... it was weird and not really in line with the game. Otherwise fallout is awesome
Funny you say that about the ghouls, because yes you could never become a ghoul or start as a ghoul, but theyre literally adding it very soon to Fallout 76, so even though theres going to be a million new characters called Cooper Howard running around when that happens, ill probs be 1 of them 😅
Yeah Lucy is a creation of the series, but as you typically name your character in the game after yourself, some lucky ladies named Lucy REALLY felt immersed in the series 😅
I'm sorry you had to submit yourself to watching that Borderlines movie and the Resident Evil movies... I think you'll like Arcane, as it's the best video game adaptation ever made, and it's also watchable on its own without ever having to touch what it's based on.
It's funny that you mention the possibility of playing with out fighting because someone did do a play through of Fallout 4 as a pacifist and posted it on TH-cam🤣🤣!!
If you're going to binge the games, I'd recommend 3, new vegas and 4 in that order. I enjoyed 1 and 2 a lot too, but they're... quite a bit different in style.
Yeah, that's the New Vegas strip. As for Moldaver surviving for so long, the very next shot, the one with the "welcome to new vegas" sign also has "cryopods available" next to it. A lot is explained by signs or whiteboards (blackboards? greenboards.) in the background of shots.
Fallout is a wonderful franchise that I love dearly unfortunately it’s ran by Bethesda which many of the fans opinions including my own Changed a lot of the things about it that made it interesting. The fallout TV show was almost perfect though.
My first interaction with the Fallout series was watching the TV show, and it was awesome. i loved it, so i decided to buy all of the Fallout games at the 2024 summer sale (they were cheap af) because of it. so far i have only played the first one, but it was incredible and i am looking forward to the next games
I hope you enjoy the games, general they aren't as silly and the characters aren't _all_ stupid or illogically written. (At least in the non-Bethesda titles). In Fallout 1 and 2 you _can_ choose to play an idiot who can't even form sentences if you put your Intelligence stat to 3 or below out of 10, but I'd strongly recommend only doing that on repeat playthroughs. 1 and 2 aren't simple shoot'em ups, they require critical thinking and problem solving. Learn what to do first, _then_ play as a mental invalid.
As a long time fallout fan I recommend playing Fallout: Tale of Two Waste Lands on PC. It’s a mod that combines both Fallout 3 and Newvagas along with all of the DLC for both games into one game. It also comes with a bunch of mods that makes the games feel more modern such as aiming down sights. Enhanced textures, graphics, lighting, and animations. New weapons and armor and other quality of life mods. It’s the quintessential Fallout experience and one of the best experiences I’ve had in gaming.
All charachters are stereotypes that you'd run in to in the games. The main characters represent different stages of a player charachter, or perhaps different outcomes. The games are very open-ended and the moral choices you make will very much determine the path the game will lead you. You can model your charachter to have different gender, different skills and physical properties, but your starting point or "class" is given. In Fallout 1 you play as a vault dweller, sent out in the wasteland to recover something, much like Lucy. In Fallout 2, you are a member of an isolated tribe in the wasteland, -sent off to find something. In Fallout tactics (non canonical) you are a member of the Brotherhood of steel. In Fallout 3 (the first 3d game), you are, -again, a vault dweller. (F3 is set in the DC area, whereas the first two are set in northern California -Nevada) In Fallout New Vegas you are a courier in the wasteland, in the "new Vegas" area. Fallout 4 I don't know. Haven't played it The Brotherhood of steel is an entity since game 1. They are one of several factions fighting for influence in the wasteland. They are neither good nor bad, but allying with them gives you access to some of the best weapons, technology, and the oh so powerful power armor. In the later stages of the games, you will need that armor to have even the slightest chance against the enemies you will face. The first game had the power armor on the box cover, -it was sort of the holy grail of items to be coveted by the player. In game two, they introduced a new power armor, making the first one look like a bunch of junk. Of course they put it on the box cover as a tease. This would then become tradition and all later games has featured some type of cool armor on the cover.
I am I long time fallout fan. I really feared this show coming out as every franchise is destoryed when they choose to make some TV money... but i was pleasantly surprised how good and how faithful it was. Watching this detailed video confirms its a good show for me.. if even a new comer to the franchise can understand the world (you clearly understand the world at least at a surface level from watching the video) then they did a good job as I am at the complete opposite of the spectrum and I also thought it was a good show
You get a lot of things right but the one thing I will mention is ever since fallout 3, fallout is a bit of a flanderization of itself. It's good but it's different it is what it is now
Regarding the map of the vaults, fans have done an insane amount of research and cross referencing from the games and the real world and have discovered that 1) the locations are accurate to the games and also revealed the future vaults left to be seen, and 2) how weirdly distributed the vaults are like Indiana having none and Canada having one or two
Hilariously, by canon, stimpaks are made of several different mind altering substances, including peyote, and cause you to THINK you're getting better. Heck, in older games, they gave you temporary health and then took away more health than they healed after a certain period, were highly addictive, and taking too many of them could just kill you.
Also, good news! There's three Fallout canons, so that's fun! The first time you meet the Brotherhood in Fallout 1, they try to get you killed by giving you an impossible quest and are seemingly unstoppable. By the time of Fallout 2, they've lost their core membership and are starting to die out. By New Vegas, they've basically died out and are restricted to one or two groups just barely holding on. HOWEVER, the Texas and East Coast chapter is a bunch of cosplaying wannabe warlords who are basically, in mentality, the lobby of an X-Box team FPS, and since the series takes place 15 years after that, it's quite likely the Texas band structure took over. In all cases, however, they're all based on the holy orders from A Canticle for Leibowitz, the post-apocalyptic order of knights that preserves all knowledge of the ancient world, and the knowledge they're preserving is stuff like grocery lists and they like, which they don't know how to translate, and don't know can't be used to rebuild the world.

Surprisingly refreshing hearing someone talk about Fallout so much without knowing anything about it. Its been my favourite franchise since Fallout 3
Giant cockroaches are literally synonamous with LibTard Democrats. Nice take on it man... an EXCELLENT video, thanks for all your hard work.

This video is criminally underviewed. Hats off to you, good sir. I shall eagerly await further offerings from you.
The rdr2 chase music over the ghoul, wasn’t an edit I thought I needed. Good shit

The Infinite Amounts of Fallout Lore that cannot be compared to the TV Series on TH-cam that anyone could easily find and search and watch: 😑
"Kinght Titus"
Great video! You've earned yourself another subscriber, friend.
It's funny that you mention the possibility of playing with out fighting because someone did do a play through of Fallout 4 as a pacifist and posted it on TH-cam🤣🤣!!
was that the dead rising music around 17:15 😂
No knowledge of Fallout is the ideal way to watch the show (Knowledge of Fallout 4/76 is the same as having no knowledge of Fallout)
If you're going to binge the games, I'd recommend 3, new vegas and 4 in that order. I enjoyed 1 and 2 a lot too, but they're... quite a bit different in style.

I'm assuming Lucy will have a bit of a spiral before coming back to herself at some point.
Fallout is awesome my friend 🫡
Bonus points for Hedley Lamarr. :D

My father is 70 and never played a single video game ever. And he enjoyed it.
What I love about the show is that it never felt like an adaptation, it just feels like more Fallout.

Excellent first video my man, keep it up.
You get a lot of things right but the one thing I will mention is ever since fallout 3, fallout is a bit of a flanderization of itself. It's good but it's different it is what it is now
I hope you enjoy playing the games. It's great to hear that the show inspired people to want to play the games

you have GOT to watch Arcane (great vid, I love it!)
The 2077 thing is weird. It should just be an alternate 1950's.
Please check out Warcraft movie!
War never changes.
totally recommend checking out fallout 1
Did you just get 50k on ur fist video in a week?
The art style is called Atomic Punk.
let me get into Star Wars by watching The Acolyte.

that Lucy and Butters comparison, never thought about it but so damn true and great Butters clips
@oneotheroddity great video mate! So surprised this is your first! Keep up the good work!
