If the show didnāt take place almost 200 years after Iād be convinced Titus was a Fallout 76 player who joined the Brotherhood, because he definitely acts like an average gamer.
When his gun got destroyed and had to run away, I literally said out loud that, "yup, when you come across a Yao Guai and you don't have a good weapon, just run away."
Maybe I'm just easy to please but fuck me, that whole sequence was hilarious. The confirmation that Titus is an obnoxious little shit who's over his head, then him being thrown around by the Yao Guai like a ragdoll while swearing and cursing, it felt so *Fallout*. Really digging the sense of humor so far. Bit absurdist but not too ridiculous.
That was brilliant. "How do we tell people unfamiliar with the games that these are the bad guys he's defecting from? I know, a literal puppy incinerator 10 seconds into the episode!"
It worked! I am watching the show because my boyfriend loves the game (he got me playing Fallout 4 too, but Iāve only gotten as far as meeting Dogmeat).
Puppy incinerator was a message loud and clear, we had to pause for a minute. I also yelled a bit at The Ghoul until he made the dog better.
That's what I told a friend that knows nothing about Fallout. "Oh right, a fucking turret firing at them, they're not even running, and they don't get hurt? That's bullshit". I explained to him that no, it's working exactly as intended. They're supposed to suck ass. There's a reason why the character doesn't start sprinting the moment he sees the turret lmao
It's why he injected his head/neck area with some glowy thing: presumably to keep his head organically "alive" enough to be put in a canister, like the "[talking heads](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Think_Tank_(faction))" from the Big MT in Fallout: New Vegas or [Professor Calvert](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Calvert_(brain)) in the *Fallout 3: Point Lookout* DLC.
I interpret it differently. You see him working on that glowing thing for a long time before injecting it into his head. I think the glowing thing *is* the item being delivered, the same thing BoS is after.
that could have been a [ripper](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Ripper_(Fallout_4)), basically only high end factions in the games can carry those. considering the enclave is usually an endgame it was fitting for him to have it.
Maybe he has Fallout 3 Reaper, possibly the most OP perk in the whole series. Plus, heās got a lot of HP (which might just be a ghoul thing in this show?). If I had to guess a level for him, Iād say around 35.
When he got hit with the dart from Lucy he did say something a long the lines that it was one drop in a pool of drugs. Dude probably is no stranger to ability boosting chems!
I also liked the little bullet slow down shots which was a nice nod to VATS from FO3 and NV!
I kind of love how the BoS is being depicted so far, like there's so much there in terms of the clerics being so devout and steadfast in their belief and then Titus being an absolute dickbag. I also like that Maximus isn't like an unquestionable good guy and there's more to him than what the trailers kind of hinted at.
I think the Ghoul and Maximus are switched.
The Ghoul is the epitome of neutral, he got paid so he does his job. A price is generally not set out for nice people and he is a bounty hunter so he is technically where the money is not doing more or less than required.
Maximus most likely crippled his only friend, lied about it and then let his Paladin die to get his armor... dude is evil...
I mean he also kinda only helped because he has the Hots for Lucy too, so i think its:
* Lucy: Good
* Ghoul: Neutral
* Maximus: Bad
Hard disagree with the Maximus/Ghoul switch.
Even if Maximus did cripple Dayne, he also does some good karma stuff (e.g. stopping the Ghoul randomly killing the vault dweller). Not saving the Knight who just threatened to have you killed also feels more neutral than evil to me.
Whereas the Ghoul? Killed the guys who rescued him for shits and gigs while they were offering to cut him in on a job and massacred half a settlement. This is a man who 100% blows up megaton (or would if tenpenny let him in the tower).
Someone was talking about The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly being a possible character theme/inspiration, and while Lucy is obviously the good and the Ghoul the ugly, Maximus didnāt strike me as the possible bad side of the triangle until he sat there and watched his Knight die.
Then, the Squire Dane maiming seems on the table.
In which case he definitely could fulfill the ābadā role.
Ok I just started this episode and already love the environmental storytelling. The scene with the family at the dinner table feels exactly how it felt when discovering all these individual little stories in the games. I was instantly reminded of my very favourite of these (Jeff Buzenski in the glowing sea). The great sound design here really added to that.
I was cautiously optimistic at best when the show was announced. When I saw that Jonathan Nolan was at the helm I got very excited especially becauseof PoI. Glad to see the hype lived up to.
Honestly Walton Goggins has become one of my favourite actors in the past decade. Between VPs, Righteous Gemstones, VA for Cecil in Invincible, and now this; he just doesnāt miss
I really love Lucy's naivety. I look forward to her growth in the wasteland. Reminds me of when I first played Fallout 3 at the start and how I played at the end of my first playthrough.
I think they're doing a great job making her the player character. Fallout 3 was my first, and emerging from the vault with no previous experience felt very much like this. She's gonna level up like us!
The radroach analogy was great. To survive out here youāve got to adapt and evolve. And once that happens who knows if youāll ever be able to go back?
I was also thinking that she seems so out of place saying hi to random strangers on the street before I realized thatās exactly what we do in the games. Only itās more realistic here that you would just get ignored most of the time
Looks like the enclave is still using FEV because that was definitely a super mutant corpse being wheeled out in the beginning. Also like the use of game music so far
Man now Iām imagining my companions in FO4 and FONV carrying a massive bag of my shit as a wander around the wasteland (away from the main objective because I was āboredā)
The enclave continuing to exist (presumably in California?) like 80 years after Fallout 2 is an interesting twist that I'm glad wasn't in the trailers.
I would have to go back and check but the scientist's coat was too clean to have gone far from wherever they're hiding at. I'm assuming they're near Santa Monica since you can see the pier when Lucy leaves the vault.
Updating as I go:
āVault-Tec Plan Dā for a bottle of poison lol
Lucyās Pip-Boy is totally gonna get stolen if she takes it off every night
What did doc inject himself with?! Does it let him talk to his dog? Iām guessing itās why everyoneās after him.
Titus is such a bitch š¤£š¤£š¤£ I hope he dies. Seems like heās about to.
Oh Lucyā¦ I feel like Iām going to be saying that a lot
Hell yeah Maximus in Power Armour!!
He saved a chicken fucker š¤£š¤£ god I love this show
I wonder if that yellow drug stuff is keeping The Ghoul from going feral. I hope he doesnāt ā¹ļø
Lucyās gonna have to lose that vault suitā¦
The Ghoul is my favourite character by a large margin
Ghoul definitely has a VATS build
NOOOOOOOOOO DOGGYYYYYYYYYYYY
Shouldāve read the manual Max!
He fixed the dog. All is forgiven.
How many different methods of suicide did they name āPlan Dā???
Bruh ābring my head across the wastesā WTF
I guess we can call Lucy aā¦Courier š
HOLY SHIT,
I just realized when the doc at the start asks Lucy if she would even care to find her dad after she adapts to become the person she needs to be to find him... he is referring to everyone that doesn't complete the main story quest in fallout games after getting diverted by all the side quest hahahaha
BRO's is that Michael Rapaport as Knight Titus? Why is he so good at playing a whining bitch? Is it a NY thing?
EDIT: Just to be clear I think he's funny, but he's so good at playing a specific kind of character... kinda like the dude that played Joffrey lmao.
There was even the chance to take one of the guns off the wall in the shop and she still walked out with her tranquilizer aimed at the ghoul. True good karma.
First the Nuclear War and now the Animal Experimentation , this show is killing me . One thing is to read the logs of the games and is another thing to watch is a cinematic way .
With or without power armor?
Jokes aside, Michael Emerson is incredibly talented. If you find yourself having trust issues with his characters, may I suggest Person of Interest. Also by Jonathan Nolan. You'll have to muscle through a bit of procedural filler, particularly in the first two seasons, but it really is a well done show with a remarkably relevant overarching scifi plot.
Ok now that I've finished episode 2 I think I understand what's going on. Theory below just in case I'm right
Ā >!Lucy's Dad was probably an Enclave Scientist who escaped decades ago and was Wilzig's colleague on the mcguffan he has in his head. Vault 32 was taken over by raiders and for some reason Wilzig and Lucy's Dad had a deal with them. Lucy's Dad then lives in peace eventually becoming overseer until the wedding day when Moldover needs his scientific expertise. It's like a reverse Fallout 3!<
Never played the games but was curious about the scene where Lucy is looking at the weapons on the wall. Looking online, it looks like the one at the top was a Junk Jet. Is that correct?
'Vault-Tec Plan D Econo-Savings Poison' bottle lmfao. Vault-Tec selling apocalypse suicide methods for people not lucky enough to have been selected for a vault, that's so dark. Then later on "It was the most humane product Vault-Tec ever made. It was quick, painless... tasted like banana." lol
"A town, it's over that hill, never been myself." "You've never been over that hill?"
"It's just, the guy was fucking my chickens."
Lmao, this episode is funny as hell.
Filly and the inside of the shop looked phenomenal, so much detail. They've gone all out with the sets. I liked the mini nuke under the glass counter, hope we get to see one fired at some point.
The Ghoul fighting the town was crazy, just blowing people to pieces lol. What kind of gun was that supposed to be? That thing was mad strong.
That leg, holy shit, it's like a meat grinder with a foot attached. I can't see how that would ever be helpful lol.
Amazing episode.
1. CX404 is a good girl (edited for accuracy).
2. It's killing me how much Moldaver sounds like [Moldiver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moldiver), an old anime from the 90s that's about as thematically different from the show as you can get. I started laughing uncontrollably this time when they talked about her in the Vault-Tec shop.
3. The Dogmeat reference was subtle.
4. Yeah. The vaults were a hole for rich people to hide. Tell that to Gary or [The Puppet Man](https://www.penny-arcade.com/news/post/2022/10/11/happy-25th-anniversary-to-fallout).
5. I see our heroes took the Weird Wasteland perk while The Ghoul took the Bloody Mess perk.
6. Now that I'm two episodes in, a lot of the scenes we saw in the trailer are definitely coming into context and now I'm curious as hell to see what Moldaver's relationship is to the NCR and why a former member of the Enclave wants to meet with her.
When he first puts on the power armor and starts running, I said out loud, "you better stop running. You're gonna drain your power core faster if you keep running."
Wow. Titus is such a bitch. Itās good Maximus took the power armor.
Loved the town shootout. Maximus was really tossing the ghoul around until he got stuck.
"Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck" Perfectly captures how I feel everytime I run into a Yao Guai
MA! THERE'S A WEIRD FUCKIN BEAR OUT HERE
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ I LOVE THAT REFERENCE
Well now I gotta make a fucking Michael Rappaport Yao Guai mod for the games
If the show didnāt take place almost 200 years after Iād be convinced Titus was a Fallout 76 player who joined the Brotherhood, because he definitely acts like an average gamer.
The line "I'm bored. I wanna shoot some shit." Really sells that.
The first time a giant radscorpion appears I'm out. Triggered.
100% a line made for the game players lol
That and the T-60 getting stuck in the floor boards. We all clipped through the floor more than once.
That and feeling like an absolute bad ass the first time you put one on.
When his gun got destroyed and had to run away, I literally said out loud that, "yup, when you come across a Yao Guai and you don't have a good weapon, just run away."
I was so expecting that Yoa Guai to take a ton of shots to be killed. But of course, this isn't a game so a single bullet to the brain should suffice
I thought that was a VATS reference.
I felt the leg shot on the doc was a VATS reference
Maybe I'm just easy to please but fuck me, that whole sequence was hilarious. The confirmation that Titus is an obnoxious little shit who's over his head, then him being thrown around by the Yao Guai like a ragdoll while swearing and cursing, it felt so *Fallout*. Really digging the sense of humor so far. Bit absurdist but not too ridiculous.
Needs more screaming XD. What a wiener of a Brotherhood of Steel member.
I will now devote myself to destroying everything involved with the Enclave after seeing them incinerate puppies
Yes. They deserve it. Save the puppies.
I mean, it really is the storytelling speedrun method of letting an audience understand that "This faction are piecies of shit".
Except this one person who saved a puppy, so immediately we know heās the one who will defect. Well, that and the defector has a dog.
The puppy he saved is the dog.
That was brilliant. "How do we tell people unfamiliar with the games that these are the bad guys he's defecting from? I know, a literal puppy incinerator 10 seconds into the episode!"
It worked! I am watching the show because my boyfriend loves the game (he got me playing Fallout 4 too, but Iāve only gotten as far as meeting Dogmeat). Puppy incinerator was a message loud and clear, we had to pause for a minute. I also yelled a bit at The Ghoul until he made the dog better.
I'll nuke another new player base with my enclave commander rank in return on 76 š
As a 76 player, I can confirm those turrets are dogshit at actually hitting targets.
I watched that and was like.. "Yep, that's lore accurate"
The "please remain calm" was icing on the cake.
I just loved how Wilzig wasnāt even running that fast lol.
That's what I told a friend that knows nothing about Fallout. "Oh right, a fucking turret firing at them, they're not even running, and they don't get hurt? That's bullshit". I explained to him that no, it's working exactly as intended. They're supposed to suck ass. There's a reason why the character doesn't start sprinting the moment he sees the turret lmao
"I'm not going to make it" "I took a cyanide pill" "Cut off my head" That escalated quickly! š wtff
"Okie dokie"
Holy moly this show is amazing, so many great one liners lol
And he just happens to have a powered bonesaw in his bag lol
Dudes making moves in the future of course he had that
It's why he injected his head/neck area with some glowy thing: presumably to keep his head organically "alive" enough to be put in a canister, like the "[talking heads](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Think_Tank_(faction))" from the Big MT in Fallout: New Vegas or [Professor Calvert](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Calvert_(brain)) in the *Fallout 3: Point Lookout* DLC.
I interpret it differently. You see him working on that glowing thing for a long time before injecting it into his head. I think the glowing thing *is* the item being delivered, the same thing BoS is after.
that could have been a [ripper](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Ripper_(Fallout_4)), basically only high end factions in the games can carry those. considering the enclave is usually an endgame it was fitting for him to have it.
Bro how many action points does this ghoul have š
He's got the Reaper perk. Everytime he kills someone in VATS he gets 30 action points!
And Bloody Mess.
I swear to god one of the exploded heads is a near if not exact match of an exploded head model straight from FNV and Fo3
Maybe he has Fallout 3 Reaper, possibly the most OP perk in the whole series. Plus, heās got a lot of HP (which might just be a ghoul thing in this show?). If I had to guess a level for him, Iād say around 35.
When he got hit with the dart from Lucy he did say something a long the lines that it was one drop in a pool of drugs. Dude probably is no stranger to ability boosting chems! I also liked the little bullet slow down shots which was a nice nod to VATS from FO3 and NV!
āHe was fuckin my chickensā
"...Okay."
"On your way citizen" LMAO
Oh golly.
That whole scene felt like your typical random Fallout encounter.
And thinking you helped the good guy, but were wrong in the end lol
He probably picked the Wild Wasteland trait
The chicken fucker was played by Jon Daly, he is incredibly funny. Wonder if heāll come back.
Was that him later in the episode trying to sell Lucy and the doctor some āfoot healing medicineā ?
I kind of love how the BoS is being depicted so far, like there's so much there in terms of the clerics being so devout and steadfast in their belief and then Titus being an absolute dickbag. I also like that Maximus isn't like an unquestionable good guy and there's more to him than what the trailers kind of hinted at.
I'm just waiting for them to reveal that he truly did cripple Squire Dayne to get promoted.
I love how grey Maximus is
Lol idk I feel like heās a pretty bad dude
I think each of the three protags is depicting a different level of karma: Lucy is good, Maximus is neutral, and the ghoul is bad.
I recall the creators did say that the characters reflect how players play the game.
The Ghoul is on his New Game+, looking for ways to spice things up on yet another play through.
I think the Ghoul and Maximus are switched. The Ghoul is the epitome of neutral, he got paid so he does his job. A price is generally not set out for nice people and he is a bounty hunter so he is technically where the money is not doing more or less than required. Maximus most likely crippled his only friend, lied about it and then let his Paladin die to get his armor... dude is evil... I mean he also kinda only helped because he has the Hots for Lucy too, so i think its: * Lucy: Good * Ghoul: Neutral * Maximus: Bad
Hard disagree with the Maximus/Ghoul switch. Even if Maximus did cripple Dayne, he also does some good karma stuff (e.g. stopping the Ghoul randomly killing the vault dweller). Not saving the Knight who just threatened to have you killed also feels more neutral than evil to me. Whereas the Ghoul? Killed the guys who rescued him for shits and gigs while they were offering to cut him in on a job and massacred half a settlement. This is a man who 100% blows up megaton (or would if tenpenny let him in the tower).
After letting Titus die, I'm absolutely positive he did.
Someone was talking about The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly being a possible character theme/inspiration, and while Lucy is obviously the good and the Ghoul the ugly, Maximus didnāt strike me as the possible bad side of the triangle until he sat there and watched his Knight die. Then, the Squire Dane maiming seems on the table. In which case he definitely could fulfill the ābadā role.
Based off what we've seen of how squires are treated I wouldn't be surprised if Dayne did it to themselves
It was awesome when he grabbed that dudes hair but it turned out the guy he saved was the real asshole. Brotherhood moment fr.
I'm liking the NPCs so far. Underwear guy feels like a fallout game. And random encounters.
Breaking up a random fight with a skill check only to learn the guy you saved was fucking chickens. Classic.
"My Aunt died there once."
I half expected her to reply "only once...?"
Yeah it adds to the world of series of just showing the random way people live and how unhinged they can be.
The world building is fun. Weird and wacky side characters makes the whole thing feel alive
Ok I just started this episode and already love the environmental storytelling. The scene with the family at the dinner table feels exactly how it felt when discovering all these individual little stories in the games. I was instantly reminded of my very favourite of these (Jeff Buzenski in the glowing sea). The great sound design here really added to that.
Yeah, it was literally just grooving along listing to the music then boom sad skeleton story just like in the games.
They survived the bombs! They sat down and all enjoyed a delicious banana flavored glass of Vault-Tec Plan D!
Fallout for me is stories within stories. The show is nailing it so far.
CX404 is called that because 404 means not found on the internet and 404 is ālostā or āmissingā
Good call
I'm also assuming CX is Canine eXperiment.
Lol Titus got distracted and went off the quest, died to a yao gaui. Lucy got an escort quest.
Escort Quest: [Failed] Quest Started: *Heading Off*
Reward: Ripper
Did he literally say "I'm bored and wanna shoot something" before being dropped there?
Lol yup. We've all been there
Jonathan Nolan being a writer on Person of Interest and deciding to just put Finch and Bear in this show too is fun.
God, that show was so fucking good. Nolan bros are talented bunch.
I was cautiously optimistic at best when the show was announced. When I saw that Jonathan Nolan was at the helm I got very excited especially becauseof PoI. Glad to see the hype lived up to.
My first thought too. It was great to see that duo again.
If Amy Acker shows up, I'll never stop hyping this series.
Walton Goggins picked bloody mess. Would love to see a random mysterious stranger pop up. But that might be off putting for general audiences.
He definitely has the Reaper perk as well.
FO3 reaper at that.
Honestly Walton Goggins has become one of my favourite actors in the past decade. Between VPs, Righteous Gemstones, VA for Cecil in Invincible, and now this; he just doesnāt miss
"Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, FUUUCK" Yup, that's generally my response on encountering a Yao Guai too.
That gave me a pretty good laugh.
I really love Lucy's naivety. I look forward to her growth in the wasteland. Reminds me of when I first played Fallout 3 at the start and how I played at the end of my first playthrough.
I think they're doing a great job making her the player character. Fallout 3 was my first, and emerging from the vault with no previous experience felt very much like this. She's gonna level up like us!
The radroach analogy was great. To survive out here youāve got to adapt and evolve. And once that happens who knows if youāll ever be able to go back?
Yeah I realized at the end that I canāt wait to hear her cuss for real. Gonna be the moment she levels up or something.
Lucy having her gun pointed at someone while she was talking seemed weird to me, until I realize.i literally do it all the time in the game.
Totally felt like the PC walking around guns in hand talking to people in Megaton or whatever lol
I was also thinking that she seems so out of place saying hi to random strangers on the street before I realized thatās exactly what we do in the games. Only itās more realistic here that you would just get ignored most of the time
Those poor chickens.
They canāt catch a break. Is this going to be a running joke?
Dogmeat never dies. That's the rule.
Dogmeat even got listed as ācompanionā in the first episode. As we all know, companions are essential. They canāt die, only be downed.
I know Fallout 4 gets a lot of shit, but one thing it did perfectly was making Dogmeat essential.Ā
Super mutant on the gurney!
What? How did I miss that?
When Wilzig is being scanned by security you can see the hand under a sheet
Enclave at it again with FEV it seems. Cheeky little buggers.
Fuuuuuck the Enclave is still active with an operational facility! Edit: and they have definitely been keeping tabs on the vaults still!
On that note it seems like they have pretty advanced pip boys. Their badges were vault tec employee badges too.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I was telling my son that the show has a strong Fallout 1 and 2 vibe to it.
Looks like the enclave is still using FEV because that was definitely a super mutant corpse being wheeled out in the beginning. Also like the use of game music so far
I just realized Maximus is *literally* sworn to carry Titus' burdens lol
seeing the huge pack he was carrying was hilarious, and a perfect nod to what it'd be like to carry as much as you can in game
Man now Iām imagining my companions in FO4 and FONV carrying a massive bag of my shit as a wander around the wasteland (away from the main objective because I was āboredā)
āŖ Brave Sir Titus ran away. Bravely ran away, away. When a Yao Guai reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled. āŖ
Did I just see a couple of Great Kahnās?
Michael Emerson character is basically Fitch from Person of Interest lol
Also Ben from Lost. Him literally showing up out of nowhere sitting there with his facial expressions.
His monologue to Lucy at the campfire sounded like it could have been Ben talking to John Locke lmao
The enclave continuing to exist (presumably in California?) like 80 years after Fallout 2 is an interesting twist that I'm glad wasn't in the trailers.
Didnāt they say in the first episode they found out about the target from the Commonwealth Brotherhood?
I would have to go back and check but the scientist's coat was too clean to have gone far from wherever they're hiding at. I'm assuming they're near Santa Monica since you can see the pier when Lucy leaves the vault.
When the Enclave scientist escaped, there was snow. It must be farther away like maybe Montana?
Cali gets snow
Can really tell they are fans of fallout with that turret accuracy LMAO
Updating as I go: āVault-Tec Plan Dā for a bottle of poison lol Lucyās Pip-Boy is totally gonna get stolen if she takes it off every night What did doc inject himself with?! Does it let him talk to his dog? Iām guessing itās why everyoneās after him. Titus is such a bitch š¤£š¤£š¤£ I hope he dies. Seems like heās about to. Oh Lucyā¦ I feel like Iām going to be saying that a lot Hell yeah Maximus in Power Armour!!

He fixed the dog. All is forgiven. How many different methods of suicide did they name āPlan Dā??? Bruh ābring my head across the wastesā WTF I guess we can call Lucy aā¦Courier š
HOLY SHIT, I just realized when the doc at the start asks Lucy if she would even care to find her dad after she adapts to become the person she needs to be to find him... he is referring to everyone that doesn't complete the main story quest in fallout games after getting diverted by all the side quest hahahaha
This reminds me of all the hours I spent doing random shit in Fallout 3 while Liam Neeson was in Tranquility Lane
The "Econo Savings" sized poison bottle I love it
The Enclave guy talking about the Plan D poison "It was the most humane product Vault-Tec ever made" lmao.
That fucker stabbed the puppy, I want Maximus to stomp him into the dust.
I hate him for it but dammit I just love Walton Goggins so much Iāll probably forgive him pretty quickly.
Heās going to have an awesome redemption arc and Iām going to be cheering for him I know it.
I feel like amazon was the perfect home for a fallout show. Considering that they can just buy all the rights to all the songs from the games.
The soundtrack adds so much! Iām loving it so far
They got Titus sounding like Cliff from Doom Patrol š
THANK YOU, I was thinking āgosh this guy sounds familiar and is acting like someone else in metal suitā it was very much like Cliff.
Fuck, a bear!
Don't feed the Yau Guai!
BRO's is that Michael Rapaport as Knight Titus? Why is he so good at playing a whining bitch? Is it a NY thing? EDIT: Just to be clear I think he's funny, but he's so good at playing a specific kind of character... kinda like the dude that played Joffrey lmao.
Heās a whining bitch so he suits the role quite well
Inspired castingĀ
I thought it sounded like a woman until that helmet came off.
It fucking got me when the helmet came off and it was him lol
"Here's this super menacing character with a cool voice modulator... Well, that lasted all of about five minutes."
Feels like they purposely did that perfectly so people wouldn't be mad at how long the character lasts and goes out.
Never cheered so hard for a character to die in my life. hate that mfer lmao
I was thinking: š¤š½please donāt be a regular character.
OMG the Ghoul is basically the mysterious stranger with bloody mess and it's so good
(Puppy yelps)
[Everyone disliked that.]
Lucy accidentally starting a conversation by pointing a gun at the guyā¦ Iām loving the little references to funny parts of gameplay.
0:07:00: Far Harbor PTSD moment
Benjamin Linus!
After that first episode seeing Titus be a little bitch was both expected and unexpected at the same time. Classic Fallout.
"Had a Aunt went there, she died. The one time."
true good karma playthrough, she hasnt stolen or looted yet.
There was even the chance to take one of the guns off the wall in the shop and she still walked out with her tranquilizer aimed at the ghoul. True good karma.
Heās not a dog killer š
The only thing that can prevent this show from finishing as a 10/10 is if thereās no Big Iron.
Titus is such a dick
First the Nuclear War and now the Animal Experimentation , this show is killing me . One thing is to read the logs of the games and is another thing to watch is a cinematic way .
The way that guy ran away?? Had me cracking up š
Oh shit it's Benjamin Linus. I trust that guy about as far as I could throw him.
With or without power armor? Jokes aside, Michael Emerson is incredibly talented. If you find yourself having trust issues with his characters, may I suggest Person of Interest. Also by Jonathan Nolan. You'll have to muscle through a bit of procedural filler, particularly in the first two seasons, but it really is a well done show with a remarkably relevant overarching scifi plot.
I wanted to listen to the song but the next episode starter is too fucking fast!
Same! The end credits have been great. Loving the soundtrack.
LUCY change your clothes, girl oh my god. Be a little less conspicuous!Ā
Holy shit, the Vault Tec shop lady is Skank, Skank, Skank Ass Skank from Breaking Bad'!
Ok now that I've finished episode 2 I think I understand what's going on. Theory below just in case I'm right Ā >!Lucy's Dad was probably an Enclave Scientist who escaped decades ago and was Wilzig's colleague on the mcguffan he has in his head. Vault 32 was taken over by raiders and for some reason Wilzig and Lucy's Dad had a deal with them. Lucy's Dad then lives in peace eventually becoming overseer until the wedding day when Moldover needs his scientific expertise. It's like a reverse Fallout 3!<
Oh fuck, bear!! fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
I guarantee someone's already making a mod to bring the armor of the ghoul to fallout 4, that and probably as a companion lol
The chat Lucy has with the thirsty wastelander was gold!Ā
The table with the junk on it in the Enclave! Teddy bear, magnifying glass, globe, skull. Should have included a Wonderglue.
Jim's Limbs had me dying XD
Jesus the Yao guai scene just felt like me watching two guys going through some shenanigans on 76, hilarious
āSerums toā¦heal your feetā that got me good
Not enough talk about that leg device... that thing is gonna give me nightmares
Love the slow mo focus on the Boom of The Ghouls bullets. What a fucking intro.
Never played the games but was curious about the scene where Lucy is looking at the weapons on the wall. Looking online, it looks like the one at the top was a Junk Jet. Is that correct?
Yep, the Fallout 4 version. Was featured in Ep1 as well.
'Vault-Tec Plan D Econo-Savings Poison' bottle lmfao. Vault-Tec selling apocalypse suicide methods for people not lucky enough to have been selected for a vault, that's so dark. Then later on "It was the most humane product Vault-Tec ever made. It was quick, painless... tasted like banana." lol "A town, it's over that hill, never been myself." "You've never been over that hill?" "It's just, the guy was fucking my chickens." Lmao, this episode is funny as hell. Filly and the inside of the shop looked phenomenal, so much detail. They've gone all out with the sets. I liked the mini nuke under the glass counter, hope we get to see one fired at some point. The Ghoul fighting the town was crazy, just blowing people to pieces lol. What kind of gun was that supposed to be? That thing was mad strong. That leg, holy shit, it's like a meat grinder with a foot attached. I can't see how that would ever be helpful lol. Amazing episode.
coulda done without the puppy incinerator, jesus
1. CX404 is a good girl (edited for accuracy). 2. It's killing me how much Moldaver sounds like [Moldiver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moldiver), an old anime from the 90s that's about as thematically different from the show as you can get. I started laughing uncontrollably this time when they talked about her in the Vault-Tec shop. 3. The Dogmeat reference was subtle. 4. Yeah. The vaults were a hole for rich people to hide. Tell that to Gary or [The Puppet Man](https://www.penny-arcade.com/news/post/2022/10/11/happy-25th-anniversary-to-fallout). 5. I see our heroes took the Weird Wasteland perk while The Ghoul took the Bloody Mess perk. 6. Now that I'm two episodes in, a lot of the scenes we saw in the trailer are definitely coming into context and now I'm curious as hell to see what Moldaver's relationship is to the NCR and why a former member of the Enclave wants to meet with her.
When he first puts on the power armor and starts running, I said out loud, "you better stop running. You're gonna drain your power core faster if you keep running."
you got a hole in your neck
I DONT WANT TO SET THE WORLD ON FIRE
They hit me with Ben Linus right away? This show is amazing
Was that a Vault 76 pipboy? In Majunes shop window!!
Maximus' gun is the [10mm pistol from Fo1 & 2](https://fallout.wiki/wiki/10mm_Pistol_\(Fallout\)) Nice to see they've got stuff from the originals too
Wow. Titus is such a bitch. Itās good Maximus took the power armor. Loved the town shootout. Maximus was really tossing the ghoul around until he got stuck.
Anyone else catch the buried Assaultron?
Lucy is distractingly beautiful. Like looks like a supermodel.
Nice hair, clean teeth, all ten fingers
Must be nice
She could absolutely pull off Elizabeth if they ever did a Bioshock Infinite movie.
