- Fallout 1 was a massive success of a game. Even though the Fallout series may have become more diluted in the last several years, the OG games are some of the best post-apocalypse fiction in gaming. Fallout 1's story of the Vault Dweller is such a miserable, bleak and depressing tale and it's just plain amazing.

This is one of the best video essays I have seen in the Fallout community. You earned a subscriber with this one, and I plan on shouting it out, so more people see this. Excellent work MrHammers.
Damn, thank you so much! I love your videos, they were a big inspiration to dive into playing the OG titles again. Currently wrapping up Fallout 2. Incredibly kind of you, I'm glad you liked the video 👍
@@MrHammers Thank you for the kinds words and hard work. The video is great!
ok
Thanks
Damn the Goat himself
Imagine risking life and limb to recover a water chip for your vault and destroy it's biggest threat, just to be exiled and never allowed back in, friends and family in that vault that you will never see again, that is truly depressing.
Indeed, I'd shoot the overseer too
@@MrHammers even if you don't shoot him, he would later be exiled too by the rest of the occupants and be replaced by an A.I , a karmic justice
☹️
It's what made it good, well crafted story and a bitter sweet end.
@@Muddy.Teabagger yup
I did a evil moron playthrough. I punched everyone in the vault except the overseer to death. I then couldn't talk to the overseer to give him the water chip so I rushed to the water merchants for my extra 100 days, rushed power armour, beat up the master and lou and then the overseer still banished me, its like dude we're the last two people in the vault lol.
You broke the game lol
In this case he was right to expel you.
when you got to Lou, you should've just told him vault 13's location so you could be the true evil moron.
Give me the chip! JUST GIVE ME THE CHIP!
…. Yes you can touch the shiny buttons
😂@@C0wb0yBebop
I loved when he said “necropolis is a city of ghouls” and that “they are people who have succumbed to severe radiation exposure and are disfigured and sometimes mentally compromised” then proceeded to say “necropolis is fallouts version of Bakersfield” super casually
Ay, blame interplay not me lol
@@MrHammers especially since it's accurate
California be like:
Just imagine what post apocalyptic Riverside must look like...... A bunch of brain dead, irradiated 90niners walking around trashing all the communities around them.
Actually, not much different from Riverside today, besides the radiation.
Yep checks out lol 😂
One thing that's truly amazing about OG fallout is the voice acting. We can talk all we want about how the dweller shouldn't have been kicked out of the vault, but you can hear in the overseer's voice that he doesn't want to do this. It's the same thing in the intro. The overseer's "Just be safe okay?" is one of my favorite lines in the whole series. Kenneth Mars did an amazing job.
Yeah, not a lot of games had good voice acting back then.
I love Butch's voice acting too, he genuinely sounds scared of deathclaws
@@slothjohnson4724 Done and uh
Yeah
Honestly fallout has always typically had great voice acting, but 1 being so old and having great voice acting as well is impressing
The Bethesda games used budget voice overs aside from a couple guest actors. These first Fallout games used seasoned talent from LA for the whole cast, probably union too.
I played this with my father, he helped me to beat the game.
Everyday after homework we would sit down for an hour and play fallout 1
That's a great memory
@@MrHammers
It really is.
Did anything happen when you first encountered the master, like did you get scared or anything
Must have been tough stopping after an hour
That’s so wholesome🥺❣️
to be honest i am actually scared of fallout 1. the music does the most but its also the lack of direction and being sent out on your own. and on your pip boy the days slowly going down, you really feel helpless.
I just turned around and went back to the vault. Everyone was like "You've got to get the water chip! Save us, you're our only hope!" and I was like "Whatever. Get someone else to do it. You do it. Here, take these bottlecaps and this junk. Good luck."
Gotta love TH-cam ads.
"Life in the Vault...is about to change."
BEAR NAKED GRANOLA!
LOL!
That same ad played for me lol
TH-cam has ads?!?
You better not be using AdBlock bucko, you owe me 8 cents
I think why so many people say modern Fallout is so bland.
It's not people cosplaying in dirty 1950s clothes, it was a bleak and horrible post apocalyptic future. Not that it was void of humor or couldn't be tongue in cheek at times, but it was not child friendly. The people living in the world were usually bitter because life was bitter. Where even your first steps outside could be cut short by a giant mutated rat.
Despite the old world being gone, debatable for the better, people still survive. You have the power to make the world better even if your story will *never* have a happy ending, or you could take the easy route and succumb to the wasteland.
you mean bethesda fallout. fallout new vegas is decent
@@uc3113 They tried in Fallout 3, Fallout 4 on the other hand... not so much.
@@thelonesomedrifter5884 Fallout 3 literally just copied Fallout 1 for no logical reason other than a callback. Even if you're a pacifist and Amata goes gung ho during the break out she banishes you. Fuck her
To put this in perspective when I played NVand fallout 3 when I was about 8 I could barely get to megaton or to the NCR without dying constantly. In fallout 4 I had the opportunity to join almost every faction besides the railroad(or underground. Just the people who love synths) before dying 30 times
@@deathkorpswatchmaster2414 it’s prolly cuz u got older and the older games are harder to play cuz they janky asl
I love the fact that when he walks away he's limping I'm implying he barely made it back his once clean suit is tattered ripped and armored his once clean hands are bloodstained I miss the old fallout vibe it was pretty grim dark
To think that the NCR started out as just another small farming community
Well... The story of NCR is clearly a homage to a history of Roman Republic. They even show it in a perspective of Ceasar in FNV.
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter
Pretty much all great cities started similarly.
Small farming commuties, fishing villages, tiny harbors, watering holes, etc.
Jacoren was an idiot. He banned the Vault Dweller from entering Vault 13 ever again, in hopes that people wouldn't want to leave the vault, but they did so, anyway.
the vault dweller left his influence on the vault the second he fixed the chip. They wanted to follow him instead.
@@the_openers_of_eyes8 That's right. The whole "you are a hero, and you have to go" speech was bullshit. Jacoren was afraid of losing power. He refused to admit that it was time for him to step down, retire and then let the Vault Dweller take the reins. The vault dwellers didn't necessarily want to leave the vault. They wanted another leader.
On the flip side, if you leave the vault without killing him, then it's as if Jacoren pulled a successful speech check on you.
@@Jorvaskrr Jacorean was attempting to salvage the test of vault 13, to remain isolated from outside contact for 200 years minimum. If he breaches the test, and the Enclave find out, they will all likely be wiped out. In an attempt, the overseer banishes you to hopefully spare the rest of the family you both have.
@@hyndquart5241 Interesting 😮. If this is true then what Jacorean did would have a compeltly different meaning. Where do you get this information or is this a theorie ?
@@anime_junkie2096 It's based on what we learn in Fallout 2 I would assume. The Enclave had records for a lot of vaults and 13 was among those listed. We can logically figure out why Jacorean did as he did from that knowledge.
If the Vault Dweller never returned within the 150 allotted days, why didn't the Vault residents just leave the Vault? At that point, what else do they have to lose? They either stay in the Vault and slowly die of dehydration, or they venture out into a chaotic world and face almost certain death yet have a small chance of survival. Staying in the Vault just seems like a very stupid decision.
Because of the overseers fascist isolationism regime.
They didn’t leave until the enclave made them leave
And risk getting captured by Lou?
Thats why the overseer would let anyone out in the first place
24 years later somehow I've managed to avoid spoilers for the ending because I know one day I'll go back and play the game from start to finish. In the meantime I'm happy to watch the iconic intro one more time, but the whole video captures perfectly the atmosphere of the game, of a hostile confusing wasteland
It's a classic! Definitely give it a go when you can haha
Sadly I knew about the ending before playing it. But I don't know how to get to it, so it's something I guess. I also know the ending (kind of?) of Fallout 2 and I never played it, so it's gonna be a new experience.
@@thefruityking6722 you know what they say. It's about the journey right?
@@felipem7626 It's been a crazy journey, but it ended yesterday when I lost my character and save from The Glow lol.
@@thefruityking6722 oof, sorry to hear man.

Thanks man! Glad you liked it
Dude for real, I wouldn't have noticed if not for this comment hahaha. Definitely giving a sub now.
@@leadedbison1997 thanks dude, you're too kind
@@MrHammers no way man I just appreciate good work! Looking forward to more of it :) plus it's nice seeing stuff about the older fallouts.
You're just too early, it's got 35k now
4:36 "The life in the vault is about to change" *gets a double ad about TikTok*
yea it did change lol
Great fallout lore video
I like how genuinely sorrowful the overseer is. I think that he genuinely cared for the vault dweller and then decision to exile them was incredibly hard for them.
I would love for the original Fallout's to be remade but... i feel like they wouldn't work in first person. Also the Vault Dweller is arguably the most important character in the Fallout universe.
Remaking fallout 1 or 2 is almost as ambitious as making a new fallout, that and there’s too much content that’d get cut if they remade them
I could make due with a fallout 1 update that just freaking ended the turn based combat, literally makes playing the game so hard for me because I absolutely loathe turn based combat. Never finished so many games because of turn based combat and while I love fallout I am dying trying to finish this game just because the turn based combat.
They are being remade. By fans, in the Fallout 4 engine.
I would be happy if they remade it in the art style of Disco Elysium tbh.
If that's too ambitious, maybe just remake it entirely the same but increase the damned font size.
@@Laxhoop There was one in NV too.
Theseus, a banished hero. This is what I call the chosen one. Injustice at it's finest.
I think it's interesting that Fallout 1 takes place 84 years after the war.
Long enough for anyone with memories of the pre-war world to be dead, and anyone alive then to have faint memories from early childhood reduced to nothing by the years.
Fun fact, the overseer still banishes you if you defeat the master, but dont find the water chip, or send a water caravan to the vault, almost certainly dooming the vaults residents to die of thirst.
Community potentialy leaving the vault vs certain death?
Certain death it is... Nice call overseer! Nice call.
Honestly seems in character for him
The funnier fact is that the Overseer is stupid enough not to realyze that by sending you out into the wastes, you'll end up giving the location of the vault to literally everyone when asking for water/the water chip. Scrap that, he's stupid enough not to realyze he's just a puppet for the Vault-Tek program and Vault 13 was purposefully built to have the water chip failure. Or the fact that the Enclave will raze the vault into the ground. And so and so on...
"You're a hero, but you have to leave."
Words that hit very close to home...
Technically, a few of the prosperous endings are either non-canon or impossible to get due to cut content. Necropolis canonically falls to a Supermutant attack and the good ending for the Followers of the Apocalypse is canon, but impossible to get in the game.
Mods
@@skullthrower8904 Mods don't really change the fact that the endings are literally impossible to get in the original game. If you need mods to fix something, it's broken.
@@samiamtheman7379that’s called a patch buddy…
@@Neogears1312 They're still not in the base game unless there's a mod for it.
@@samiamtheman7379it's called a patch pal
Can’t wait for 2!
lmao
TH-cam recommend me this and good god I love this. It tells people enough to understand the bleak depressing nature but leaves enough so people if they wish can go and play the game themselves and make their own choices in the story.
"SET is the leader of the town and is very UPSET..." I see what you did there Hammer you cheeky bastard. 😏
Vault Dweller: I got kicked out of my vault after saving them from supermutants and dying from a lack of water, I now have to live my life in the harsh and unforgiving wasteland aftermath of the death bombs brought by war.
Chosen: *AYO SHUT UP I GOT A FUCKING CAR AND DO PORN FOR A LIVING*
"I'll make you proud Grandpa!!"
*Inhales enough Jet to kill a deathclaw* "Myron, Get The Car!"
12:00 honestly necropolis is just modern-day bakersfield
The vault designed as an experiment to see the effects of slow radiation, thats so evil.
Just got into Fallout recently, and now I learn the Narrator is Ron Perlman. How can this man get any cooler?
Ive just realized it, the pauldren, boot knife, large gun holster and the straps are the same as mad max.
All the Fallout Leather armor is very much the same armor, You also Have Dogmeat, another Mad max reference on all games
@@juanpch2175Dogmeat is a reference to the movie "A Boy and his Dog"
This video was incredible. You highlighted the genuine cruelty we'd expect to find in the Wasteland. Fallout 1's story is unmatched because of it's seriously harsh plot. You narrated this flawlessly and have shown us that Fallout 1 has something the other games don't have. It's the depressing and hopeless element that seems to be missing in the other titles. However, I did feel it in New Vegas. Maybe Bethesda could reflect on this, their Devs should watch this.
Wow, I'm so glad I got recommended this. TH-cam is a bit late on showing it to everybody it seems but I won't complain as long as it keeps this up! Subbed and now I'm headed to your video on STALKER's atmosphere, I already know that it's going to be a good one 👍
games have improved a lot since fallout, but the writing definitely hasn't...
The first Fallout standard of writing was definitely something else. Still stands out 25 years later.
If the masters plan was successful then in a few years the mutants would have wiped themselves out that's nature
Yeah
Just look how the nightkin hate the normal super mutants in Fallout New Vegas
Of course is sad and hard, the game was rigged from the start

Fallout 1 will always be in my heart. Thank you for this video
I think one of the most depressing things abt the Fallout series as a whole is how easily the wasteland could have been prevented if I remember right from the lore fusion cores were invented and able to be mass produced shortly before the bombs fell if all the countries had put their differences aside and worked together to either improve or make fusion cores the resource wars could have been stopped and by proxy the destruction of the world I don’t see many people talk abt this but I think one of the real lessons we can take especially from the first Fallout game is what happens when people refuse to help each other it’s not rly thrown in your face and maybe I’m seeing something that isn’t there but hey just something I thought of
Terrible example of real life riots. Buta dam good review. Subbed
January 6th was a real life riot
let’s get this guy’s name heard because he deserves a lot more than most people on the platform
Love the 1st end part, you save the them but.you changed at the same time and were no longer them same person. You had turned in to what you wish you were not but had too do it to save the ones you love.
Man this video was so entertaining to watch man! Your voice and the script was just so well put together man!
Thank you! 🥲
Well worded essay. On par with TK or Ox. Great job!
That's very kind of you, thank you
On par with Oxhorn, far better than TK (less preachy about 'Bethesda bad')
@@CheshireTheMaid less preachy about “bethesda good”
@@CheshireTheMaid Ox is thorough but his voice and speech pattern is so goddamn annoying.
TK is lazy. Just makes stupid 1 minute videos about Fallout stuff and that diehard fans already known
I've never played Fallout. I have not played most of the games you do videos for since I'm mainly a racing/driving sim type of gamer, but I enjoy listening to your video essays. Good content! Thank you!
I've really only watched I think two of your videos but you are probably the best hope for really highlighting dated games' stories, characters, choices, and intirigue. I love your channel and can't wait to watch more dude.
Thanks dude!
Phenomenal channel! I've been subscribed to you for a while now and all of your videos are simply magnificent. Please do keep up the great work.
Thank you! That's incredibly kind
Went into a blind playthrough yesterday, somehow managed to make it a good bit in despite never playing a game like it before
Man, this is a kind of video that you don't see every day, so well made, keep up the great work man
this is so underrated wtf. so well done my guy.
One of the better fallout essays out there. Your voice suits the type of content. You’ve earned a subscription. Papa bless

12:00 FWIW in FO1 the experiments were not a thing. They were a retcon in FO2.
I almost hate that i think this because i sound like a douche, but i only recently played FO1 and 2 and theyre easily my favourite fallout games now. The atmosphere in these games is exactly what fallout should be.
Never too late to play them. I only played the first two because I was getting ready for Fallout 3 because I heard about one year before release that there was going to be a Fallout 3 from the makers of Morrowind, and I have ended up enjoying Morrowind and Oblivion more than First Person Fallout games, but the hype for FO3 got me interested to try the first two.
Man, this is a beautiful video. Thank you!
No, thank you!
To this day. I still have no idea how to play.
The first time, I died by a rat.
The second, I died to a rad scorpion.
The third, I died to a molerat
The forth, I saved and haven't played since. No online video can help me
Edit: I killed my first Radscorpion. I'm so *EXCITED*
Edit 2: I've completed my first playthrough and am now playing my second.
Everyone dies to rat on first play. It's a right of passage
@@MrHammers A New Canaanite rite of passage
I guess you could farm xp by pickpocketing, then reverse pickpocketing people in Shady Sands until you have a high level. Otherwise, just save before combat and don't make a save where you got badly wounded and pissed away all your ammo and healing items.
lol those rats are scrubs wut
I wish you luck to save humanity from the enclave
This was a really great video I really cant wait for the fallout 2 story and to see what happened to the vault dweller and his grandson
WOW. this shit was like a movie.
Yes. It's the only Fallout game that could possibly make for a good movie adaptation.
Excellent recap. Thank you!
Such fond memories I have of this game. Great Video! Had to sub for this channel! Keep up the good work.
Beautiful essay,big props man.
Thanks homie
Nice analysis!! I'm not surprised that you enjoyed the first Fallout a lot if Fallout 3 is your favorite Fallout game. They have a lot in common. The bleak atmosphere, one of the themes/objectives being water, getting kicked out of a vault, etc.
even more depressing is that the vault dweller can be as young as 16 before getting thrown out into the unforgiving wasteland
Really? I checked as a joke to see how low I can make the age and it was 10 although might have been a fallout fix it thing
ummm in the canon ending for Necropolis they don't thrive, they're actually wiped out by the super mutants as retaliation for the Vault Dweller killing the ones in the water shed
I miss this game. Like you said it was an amazing time creating your own story. My friend and I would be at work talking for hours about how things turned out on our playthrough of this game.
The starting vid with children dancing in the Fallout reminded me of a music video about Fallout debris. I appreciate your video!
Thank you for this video! Was hard to find a good recap of this game. Should re name your video so people know that’s what this is! Thank you 😁
Wonderful video my friend! Hope to see more from you, I’d love to see some videos on Fallout, Halo and that one game on steam named Valheim, I’d watch the shit out of those!
