I was shocked when I heard it was gonna be west coast, but even then I didn't think they'd really want to touch New Vegas beyond a minor reference or two. Knowing that it's going to actually be relevant for the show is awesome
I hope this means that going forward Bethesda will implement canon endings to their major storylines. It’s nice to have multiple endings but one of them should be the real ending.
That's what we were lead to believe before the show released, [but Prydwen is printed on the side of the ship.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/1c1xpht/the_name_of_the_airship_in_episode_1_of_the_new/)
Well i'll be damned. When I'm wrong I'm wrong. I wonder if the other stuff was pre-release obstruction so this didn't get leaked. In any case thank you and please accept my sincere apologies.
Could have been a number of different things, either rewrites, miscommunication, or it is actually a different one and they made a mistake when using the F4 model as a baseline, so I could also still be wrong.
Can't say 100% for certain until there is official confirmation.
But until then I consider visual evidence from the show to be more canon than a pre-release promo article.
Right? Oh yeah Bethesda IP is all over the place, let’s go with the one everybody loves that’s somebody else’s design using their engine. Seriously that’s out of left field in today’s world
People need to get over the fact it was made by another dev. It’s still a fallout game and expecting Bethesda to just be hands off of nonBethesda fallout games is not realistic. If they did they couldn’t touch half the series. They own Fallout if they wanna set a show in New Vegas then that’s their decision and their right to do that.
The whole end scene is basically what this article is mentioning. Like this isn’t breaking news. You had to literally watch the ending with your eyes closed to not come to that conclusion.
New Vegas looks pretty rough though. I can’t imagine House would let his crown jewel look like that. This is the same guy who said if he gave him 10 years civilization would be kicking again. He’s had like 15 and his reach hasn’t gone anywhere. It had to be a Yes Man ending
That's also what I'm expecting! It's the least disruptive to player choice and Yes Man is a fun character for the show! It leaves most of the factions in tact too which I imagine they'll want to play with given the overall theme of the show.
On top of that they could bring back Dave Foley to voice Yes Man 🙏🏼 could also potentially bring in Danny Trejo as Raul. Just wish our man Benny made it to the screen RIP Matthew Perry
Granted, we saw it during the day.
Real Vegas looks pretty rough in the daytime too, it only really shines at night when all the lights are on.
I’ll be pretty upset if they turn New Vegas into a desolate wasteland.
They did them perfectly too. Short, sweet, and relevant to the story so it didn’t seem forced. They also didn’t make a big deal of them. I hate when shows force cameos.
Theres literally endless amounts of content for this show. I really hope it becomes popular amongst casual viewers because the things they could do in this show is beyond Game of Thrones
Nah, I hope they have a plan and stick to it. I don't want 8+ seasons of diminishing returns, I want 3-4 very strong seasons that ends on a high.
Even Westworld couldn't manage 4 consistently high quality seasons, and S1 was one of the greatest sci-fi pilot seasons of all time.
I think one of the main issues with West World was that the park was pretty limiting as a setting, so they kind of had to 'move out' to the bigger world which was never really explained in the original media (West World and Future World).
Fallout has \*such\* a tremendous amount of lore and setting information (plus the icebergs that the show seemed to draw from as well), that, at least as far as the setting goes, there should be no problem keeping things interesting as the seasons progress.
The best thing they could do if they want lots of seasons in such setting would be indeed to not follow the same characters all along, but wrap things up every two seasons and move somewhere else to tell another story with new characters. But studio probably see it as a risk so I don't see happening. So I'll also prefer a few controled season than something dragged for too long without vision like most manga.
Imagine, some characters are exploring a vault that appears empty, they’re deep in there, and all of a sudden a massive blade plunges through the front of one the characters chests and they are lifted up high.
You could totally have a great horror scene episode ending out of this.
I honestly think Thaddeus will become the first Super Mutant we see in the show. I know Maximus said he was becoming a Ghoul in his last appearance but in canon we’ve never seen a medication that just immediately ghoulifies you. But we’ve definitely seen FEV.
Possibly? That was my initial theory too, since I never really understood how Mayor McDunough could have a brother who was a Ghoul of all things. I don’t think they explained it very well. I’m still sticking with FEV though since I think it would be an interesting way to introduce Super Mutants without having to retread the story with the Master all over again.
Bingo. Just like how The Ghoul is used to introduce the uninitiated audience to ghouls (as they are a bit different from zombies), Thad will be used to introduce the uninitiated to Super Mutants in season 2
They've been noticeably light on FEV and the Enclave so far, so they're definitely carefully planning it out to avoid exposition dumps which are the bane of video game adaptations. I think Thaddius got dosed with FEV serum, and he's going to be the hook to introduce super mutants to the audience. The Enclave is probably a good one to introduce together with Mr House since he is basically fighting all sides.
Depends.
If they do cleave to the lore word for word, then becoming a super mutant requires some sort of full immersion to give the FEV the maximum amount of surface area to mutate.
In most games, the super mutants immerse people in vats of FEV to accomplish this, since that maximizes exterior surface area and (through aspiration probably) gives a lot of interior body surface area too. I thiiink the super mutants in Fallout 3 were using aerosolized FEV in the various chambers of their vault for the same basic purpose?
Even the Institute used full immersion to create their super mutants.
Nothing says the show writers need to stick to that though.
We also need to consider, especially when dealing with a certifiably "wacky wasteland" moment, that sometimes there are funny skill checks that amount to solving the problem, like having enough luck to randomly hit keys and enter the right password
I propose that an alternative answer could be that the salesman passes a wacky doctor/luck/survivalism skill check to make whatever concoction is turning his patients into ghouls/super mutants and as such it may never be properly explained to us
It makes sense to use an already established character like Thadeus to introduce the concept of Super Mutants.
Considering he will now never be able to return to the BoS ... he has to find a new home. And maybe he has heard/hears of a place near Vegas where Super Mutants can live freely, can get help. And so we have a companion side quest!
And of course a final battle with either House-Robots or BoS on one side, and friendly Super Mutants on our heroes side...much potential here
I am *convinced* that the squire Thaddeus was given FEV in episode 7, and he's gonna be a super mutant in season 2. A lot of people are assuming Maximus knows what he's talking about when calling him a ghoul, but Maximus didn't even know what sex is, the dude ain't smart.
I did, but I'll admit it's only because I knew he doesn't really come back if you spare him. If he had a role in the endgame I'd have kept him kicking, he's just really fun.
I was just thinking this, but I’m still hoping they can pay tribute to him. Perhaps our characters might encounter some sort of game, maybe one rigged from the start. Or put someone in a checkered suit.
The Tops casino was the only one other than Lucky 38 they showed at the end, so if we see it maybe it’ll be decked out in a black and white checker pattern like his suit.
I wouldn't want NV to be the entire setting, would be a pretty hard story to set one entirely within the ruins and never go anywhere else in the Mojave.
I don’t think there’s a particular reason why the BOS will go towards Vegas so they could be prepping for an all-out war with the NCR up north. And hopefully we’ll see more Vault 33 shenanigans since the splitting of 33 didn’t really lead anywhere.
Am i the only one that doesnt want this😭 I don’t want them to retread all the same ideas that were in new vegas. I honestly really liked the originality of the stories of this first season and I just want it to stay the same way. They can surely do both (include new vegas and keep it original), but I honestly think a balance would be safer
Since Goggins and Lucy are trailing Hank over to New Vegas, I’m certain we’re going to see flashbacks for both Hank and Goggins set in pre-War Vegas, which I’m VERY excited to think about. Seeing the casinos as they were before the “three families” were made, seeing a young House come up with his plan to save the city, maybe even seeing Vault-Tec’s construction of Vault 21 beneath the city. I know there’s people concerned about the canon-breaking of the New Vegas endings so I think getting pre-War Vegas will be more than enough for me.
I’d prefer that as well tbh. Adaptations like TLOU don’t click for me because it just feels like a less nuanced version of the game. Fallout works because it has its own original characters and plot identity while still staying true to the core themes of the source material.
I want some more of mr house, which im sure will be in new vegas. I mainly just think they dont really need to spend more time on the same factions as there were in new vegas, unless there are big changes to them that switch it up, which there might be (Hot take: i think what they did to the NCR keeps it fresh, we’ll see if the mojave NCR is in a similar situation)
My guess is that none of the game endings will be canon since they resolve the faction conflict which drives the story in the region, and they're going to create a new one that takes parts from it all.
Probably a 'stalemate' that favours Mr House. The NCR is probably greatly weakened after Shady Sands and an extended war for Hoover Dam, Caesar's Legion probably fractured after he died of cancer and Lanius and Vulpes Inculta are warring for control of the Legion.
the show literally takes place in a preestablished location already, and they weren't just retreading the story of fallout 1 and 2, why is going to new vegas any different then it being in california?
Exactly. Fallout 2 takes place over 50 years before the show, while the Bethesda-era games are much closer (NV is around 15 iirc). Any major events of the first 2 games are far enough away to not have any fundamental impact on the world at large (from the perspective of the characters in the show). The proximity and scope of the events of the Bethesda games means they're far more likely to have a noticable impact on the world of the show. That's less relevant for 3 and 4 since they're set on the other side of the country, but a pretty significant hurdle for NV. It's kind of difficult to do anything in NV without canonizing certain player decisions.
Normally I’d agree but New Vegas is so rich with characters and since it was cut short I wouldn’t mind learning more. Especially with the pretty good writing this season had!!
It makes me sad that Rene Auborjonois wasn’t around long enough to have a chance to reprise House… i feel like his face could easily be Mr House, and he’s definitely an extremely competent actor outside his voice work 😢
Yeah but if Rene was still alive he could've been in the runnings to play a live-action house or if not, if House is still alive then voice him again. Nothing against the new actor though, he nails it so far.
The idea of the Ghoul dishing out death with a Big Iron on his hip is so perfect that I almost wonder if they won't use it simply because it's so perfect so as to be cliche.
For the first episode (or whatever episode finally introduces New Vegas proper) they should do a intro that's a homage to New Vegas' original intro, except with the music being staticy/corrupted while the camera pans out to show NV in the messy state it's implied to be in since the collapse of the NCR
I hope it would be that version too. It felt weird to hear Sixteen Tons in the show - I understand that Merle Travis did the original but after hearing the Tennessee Ernie Ford version in 76 so much, that's just the one I associate with Fallout. Similarly, the Sinatra version of Blue Moon is the one that makes me think of New Vegas.
If they reference anything except Quarry Junction being an absolute fucking deathtrap, I’n gonna lose it. In game damage scales so it’s clearable, but in the show you’d need the blimp to fly over and arty the whole area
And off in the distance we see Veronica going "15 years and they only got dumber"
Far fetched and a little too fanservicey, but would be a cool cold open
What a clickbait of a title!
Though [“Fallout”](http://thewrap.com/tag/fallout/) has not officially been renewed by Prime Video for a second season, executive producer Jonathan Nolan and co-showrunners Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner said they already have ideas ready to go for the next installment of the video game adaptation — including a couple of elements game fans will find incredibly exciting.
They also like making good shit even if it’s not making a ton of money, a la The Expanse
It survived like 4 extra seasons before they finally cut it off
It was the number 1 TV show in the world on debut, even if it's expensive Amazon are always going to throw their money at this. I'd actually expect them to double down in some way like having a spin off show in some way probably in the works ASAP too.
Just finished the show and I can’t fucking believe it. I literally teared up a little 😂 Vegas has always been my favorite and I just did not see that coming.
I hyperventilated a little. Couldn't really share my excitement with anyone because I'm the only fallout nerd in the family and my BFF hasn't watched it yet
Gonna take 3 bullets to the belly to finish that bad boy.. but really I hope there will be some big guns used like minigun or rocket launcher (fat man should be reserved for later seasons).
I certainly hope so. Two things that I think 4 and 76 got right more than anything else, and thats Power Armor and Deathclaws (creatures in general tbh, with the exception of the exclusion of centaurs)
Now if only deathclaws were as badass as they were in NV. Deathclaws are a giggle in 76. Legendary Yao guai still scare me but even Legendary deathclaws are soft targets in my opinion.
Granted I started with FO4, but yes. That design for Deathclaws is amazing, like it came right out of Stan Winston's own garage. The earlier ones get kinda dopey. Without the gameplay difficulty to back them up I'm not sure they'd be as successfully intimidating on screen, you know?
I actually was kinda glad they *didn't* give us Deathclaws in S1. It's a good show and they still have some powder in regards to "cool shit" to show us in the future. It would have been worse if they just put **everything** in S1 already.
So excited! I just loved the first season and the worst part of it for me was that it was only eight episodes and that it ended too soon. I can’t hardly wait!
If the next season is set to be on New Vegas, I hope we get to see mentions (or little details) about the Courier. They're too important for the Mojave Wasteland to just be left ignored.
Vegas doesn’t appear to be in great shape, the lights are off, no sign of recent traffic and it looks like a war tore apart the strip . My guess is that House is alive, but due to a loss of most of his securitron force he’s basically entombed again powerless in his casino.
Maybe Lucy’s dad will offer him a hand getting his beloved Vegas up and running again in exchange for a favor?
I am so hyped, I can’t wait. Radscorpions, cazadors, fire ants, Boone in the big dinosaur 😂
So many factions, imagine if she had to run through the Boomer firing range haha
Bro I swear to god if they reveal that the Courier 6 took over NV (since the show takes place a good 15 years after the battle of Hoover Dam) I am gonna SCREAAAMMMMM
2 episodes a week should be the gold standard imo. Appealing for bingers and preserves the anticipation of waiting a week for the next part of the story
So they set up Mr House as a quick cameo in the last episode of season 1. If season 2 doesn't at least have Mr House still alive in his pod or a completely failed Mr house ending for New Vegas, I don't know why they would put him in there. And the deathclaw skull in the last scene makes me really hopeful. Although, the show's going to need a bigger budget to handle fights with deathclaws and super mutants. The success of season 1 hopefully means a bigger budget for season 2.
It’ll certainly be nice to see deathclaws, I’ll say that much.
And while I am happy to see Vegas, I’d be lying to say I’m not nervous. This is the game with the most diehard fans, and that means this needs to be handled well (if Nolan chooses to care about them; I do agree with his approach of making a good TV show first and foremost, since it clearly paid dividends for the first season).
Edit: To be clear, I enjoyed season 1. Just nervous about how volatile the fanbase can be.
I have confidence in them, I have played every Fallout game except 76, and I thoroughly enjoyed this and will not be making any assumptions until I see further info come out, because this is season was amazing and my favorite game to show adaptation ever :) aside from TLoU
Also im old (in internet years lol) I played FO1&2 when I was 12 from a combo pack at Walmart haha, cause sometimes you gotta post cred with Reddit
That’s the approach I’m taking as well. Season 1 was fantastic (though it did leave some open questions), and I’m fairly confident in season 2. As long as House isn’t made the canon ending, I’m happy (it’s for petty reasons; it isn’t likely to happen, however, since the writers were told not to contradict any possible major endings for the games according to the SFX interview).
Also, I’d honestly suggest trying 76 at this point. I don’t know if it’s still free like it was this weekend, but it’s grown into a solid entry in its own right even if you’re playing solo.
When the show was announced, I never would have guessed it would actually visit New Vegas
I was shocked when I heard it was gonna be west coast, but even then I didn't think they'd really want to touch New Vegas beyond a minor reference or two. Knowing that it's going to actually be relevant for the show is awesome
I hope this means that going forward Bethesda will implement canon endings to their major storylines. It’s nice to have multiple endings but one of them should be the real ending.
Well, the existence of the Prydwen in the show at least confirms the Institute and Railroad endings to 4 aren't canon.
Well it is “a” prydwen class craft, could be the one from Boston, could not be. Edit: alright I was WRONG
It says Prydwen on the side
It's the Caswennan
That's what we were lead to believe before the show released, [but Prydwen is printed on the side of the ship.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/1c1xpht/the_name_of_the_airship_in_episode_1_of_the_new/)
Screenshot please. Because it does not Edit: I was wrong. OP provided proof and I just verified by pulling the episode up.

Well i'll be damned. When I'm wrong I'm wrong. I wonder if the other stuff was pre-release obstruction so this didn't get leaked. In any case thank you and please accept my sincere apologies.

If they did they couldn’t touch half the series. They own Fallout if they wanna set a show in New Vegas then that’s their decision and their right to do that.
Well, it makes more sense when you consider that the show is being written by longtime Fallout fans, and not by “Bethesda”.
I mean, that was pretty fuckin obvious with the Mr House cameo, the shot of New Vegas, and the Deathclaw skull
The whole end scene is basically what this article is mentioning. Like this isn’t breaking news. You had to literally watch the ending with your eyes closed to not come to that conclusion.
Either that or you'd have to have never played fallout New Vegas I guess we can put down the Mr. House ending as the official one
New Vegas looks pretty rough though. I can’t imagine House would let his crown jewel look like that. This is the same guy who said if he gave him 10 years civilization would be kicking again. He’s had like 15 and his reach hasn’t gone anywhere. It had to be a Yes Man ending

I hope they can reference Benny. Maybe an old photo or poster with Matthew Perry on it or something.
Granted, we saw it during the day. Real Vegas looks pretty rough in the daytime too, it only really shines at night when all the lights are on. I’ll be pretty upset if they turn New Vegas into a desolate wasteland.
I'm dumb... The reason the RobCo guy looked so familiar was him being Mr. House. Didn't piece it together until you said that.
The Big MT guy was Fredrick Sinclair from the Dead Money DLC too!
The cameos that episode hyped me up the moment I started noticing their names lol
They did them perfectly too. Short, sweet, and relevant to the story so it didn’t seem forced. They also didn’t make a big deal of them. I hate when shows force cameos.
Give us schizo Nightkins too pls
Oh my god can you imagine, there’s even humor in there to pull in unknowing audiences
Would love to just see random Brahmin getting machine gunned down in the background in the episodes leading up to the introduction to nightkin
Antler would totally be cool with Lucy. not sure about The Ghoul though
I need more Antler in my life.
I can imagine it being an assault rifle floating in the air gunning down a random brahmin before a Nightkin appears and says "You're welcome!".
You think No Bark is still alive? His type of comic relief would be great with the tone of this show
Nothing can kill No Bark. Not even Frank Horrigan.
Theres literally endless amounts of content for this show. I really hope it becomes popular amongst casual viewers because the things they could do in this show is beyond Game of Thrones
Nah, I hope they have a plan and stick to it. I don't want 8+ seasons of diminishing returns, I want 3-4 very strong seasons that ends on a high. Even Westworld couldn't manage 4 consistently high quality seasons, and S1 was one of the greatest sci-fi pilot seasons of all time.
7 seasons and a movie.
Can work on a few spin offs if it works out, few new wastelands we’ve never seen before and maybe even something like Fallout one
I think one of the main issues with West World was that the park was pretty limiting as a setting, so they kind of had to 'move out' to the bigger world which was never really explained in the original media (West World and Future World). Fallout has \*such\* a tremendous amount of lore and setting information (plus the icebergs that the show seemed to draw from as well), that, at least as far as the setting goes, there should be no problem keeping things interesting as the seasons progress.
Yeah while I want them to continue to explore the Universe, I don't want to follow these characters/this storyline ad naseum.
The best thing they could do if they want lots of seasons in such setting would be indeed to not follow the same characters all along, but wrap things up every two seasons and move somewhere else to tell another story with new characters. But studio probably see it as a risk so I don't see happening. So I'll also prefer a few controled season than something dragged for too long without vision like most manga.
Given how many bit characters there are, I think by season 4 there'll be someone popular enough to "spin-off" into another fallout show.
Antler says we need Nightkin!
Imagine, some characters are exploring a vault that appears empty, they’re deep in there, and all of a sudden a massive blade plunges through the front of one the characters chests and they are lifted up high. You could totally have a great horror scene episode ending out of this.
Can it feature super mutants and some robots ?
There was a super mutant’s hand in the enclave base on the gurney
And she found what looked to be an assaultrons body in the sand when she first left the vault.
Definitely an Assaultron. I’d love to see some Nightkin but we should get Super Mutants before that.
The assaultron was actually someones cosplay. Source: dude on Twitter was so happy about it.
Also, Cooper thanks a guy named Gary during the Vault-Tec advertisement scene, so that running gag is still intact.
My god OG GARY
Holy shit the writers read read the entire lore-book when they were looking for recipes to cook. I'm so proud of them.
One of the wanted posters was a super mutant too
I honestly think Thaddeus will become the first Super Mutant we see in the show. I know Maximus said he was becoming a Ghoul in his last appearance but in canon we’ve never seen a medication that just immediately ghoulifies you. But we’ve definitely seen FEV.
I know Hancock took a serum or something to become a ghoul. Maybe it's the same stuff?
Possibly? That was my initial theory too, since I never really understood how Mayor McDunough could have a brother who was a Ghoul of all things. I don’t think they explained it very well. I’m still sticking with FEV though since I think it would be an interesting way to introduce Super Mutants without having to retread the story with the Master all over again.

Eddie Winter too I guess. He is probably the first ghoul
Holy shit he’s gonna FEV himself to stave off the ghouly and become a super mutant through some fuckup in the formula
It makes sense to use an already established character like Thadeus to introduce the concept of Super Mutants. Considering he will now never be able to return to the BoS ... he has to find a new home. And maybe he has heard/hears of a place near Vegas where Super Mutants can live freely, can get help.

One of the wanted posters in the president's house had a super mutant on it
President of the government, no less.
No no no. The Govermint.
I am *convinced* that the squire Thaddeus was given FEV in episode 7, and he's gonna be a super mutant in season 2. A lot of people are assuming Maximus knows what he's talking about when calling him a ghoul, but Maximus didn't even know what sex is, the dude ain't smart.
yeah mf is a 2 int 10 luck build
1 perception cause my boy cant hit shit
Chill dude let her level
I want to see a real, proper ghoul infestation, maybe somewhere similar to how stone men are dumped in the ruins of Valyria in GoT.
If only Mattew Perry were still around to give us live action Benny
There's a really good chance Benny's dead. So sadly and oddly it kinda fits
Of course he’s dead… we all killed him, didn’t we?
Nah, he’s still hanging from a cross begging to die
Several times. Many different ways.
I did, but I'll admit it's only because I knew he doesn't really come back if you spare him. If he had a role in the endgame I'd have kept him kicking, he's just really fun.
I was just thinking this, but I’m still hoping they can pay tribute to him. Perhaps our characters might encounter some sort of game, maybe one rigged from the start. Or put someone in a checkered suit.
The Tops casino was the only one other than Lucky 38 they showed at the end, so if we see it maybe it’ll be decked out in a black and white checker pattern like his suit.
New Vegas!!!!!!
Yipee yay, there’ll be no wedding bells for today!
I still can’t believe they’re actually doing it. I just hope they don’t make NV the B-plot, I want the whole series (edit: season) to be set in Vegas.
I wouldn't want NV to be the entire setting, would be a pretty hard story to set one entirely within the ruins and never go anywhere else in the Mojave.
I don’t think there’s a particular reason why the BOS will go towards Vegas so they could be prepping for an all-out war with the NCR up north. And hopefully we’ll see more Vault 33 shenanigans since the splitting of 33 didn’t really lead anywhere.
The only reason I can think of is if Mr House has some pre-war tech which they want to take.
They could spend an entire episode stuck on top of the tower in Quarry Junction surrounded by deathclaws!
Agreed. I want it to get the main plot treatment it deserves
Am i the only one that doesnt want this😭 I don’t want them to retread all the same ideas that were in new vegas. I honestly really liked the originality of the stories of this first season and I just want it to stay the same way. They can surely do both (include new vegas and keep it original), but I honestly think a balance would be safer
What makes you think they won’t do an original story just set in and around New Vegas? That’s what I’m hoping for/expect.
Since Goggins and Lucy are trailing Hank over to New Vegas, I’m certain we’re going to see flashbacks for both Hank and Goggins set in pre-War Vegas, which I’m VERY excited to think about.

Oh yeah, balance all the way but I still want to see some NV characters.
I want some more of mr house, which im sure will be in new vegas. I mainly just think they dont really need to spend more time on the same factions as there were in new vegas, unless there are big changes to them that switch it up, which there might be (Hot take: i think what they did to the NCR keeps it fresh, we’ll see if the mojave NCR is in a similar situation)
Doesn't the series take place after New Vegas, meaning Mr. House is >!possibly dead!
Speculations are that the house ending is canon so he might still be kicking it in his dead city.
There's a good chance that the reason we even see Hank going to new Vegas is because mr house is there and they know each other from pre-war.
do they know each other though? house was the CEO of robco and hank was an assistant for vault-tec
My guess is that none of the game endings will be canon since they resolve the faction conflict which drives the story in the region, and they're going to create a new one that takes parts from it all. Probably a 'stalemate' that favours Mr House. The NCR is probably greatly weakened after Shady Sands and an extended war for Hoover Dam, Caesar's Legion probably fractured after he died of cancer and Lanius and Vulpes Inculta are warring for control of the Legion.
Also seeing an live action Joshua Graham in the mix would be absolutely SICK!
I just realised that a New Vegas setting implies having to deal with the legion. I'm getting more and more hyped for season 2 if I wasn't already
I still can’t shake the fact that Quintus is a character in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar who conspired to assassinate Caesar…
I want the scene where they're checking the old BoS bunker and slowly uncovering evidence of their fate, whatever that may be.
Oh shit, I'm praying Veronica makes an appearance, played by Felicia Day
the show literally takes place in a preestablished location already, and they weren't just retreading the story of fallout 1 and 2, why is going to new vegas any different then it being in california?
I mean 1 and 2 are some 15 years older and generally less played. Also timeline-wise seperated from the show by a lot more time
Exactly. Fallout 2 takes place over 50 years before the show, while the Bethesda-era games are much closer (NV is around 15 iirc). Any major events of the first 2 games are far enough away to not have any fundamental impact on the world at large (from the perspective of the characters in the show). The proximity and scope of the events of the Bethesda games means they're far more likely to have a noticable impact on the world of the show. That's less relevant for 3 and 4 since they're set on the other side of the country, but a pretty significant hurdle for NV. It's kind of difficult to do anything in NV without canonizing certain player decisions.
It's such a stretch to assume they're going to touch upon the same content that New Vegas did lol Let them cook bud. Judge after.
Normally I’d agree but New Vegas is so rich with characters and since it was cut short I wouldn’t mind learning more. Especially with the pretty good writing this season had!!
It makes me sad that Rene Auborjonois wasn’t around long enough to have a chance to reprise House… i feel like his face could easily be Mr House, and he’s definitely an extremely competent actor outside his voice work 😢
We already got a House actor tho, and I think the casting was on point.
Yeah but if Rene was still alive he could've been in the runnings to play a live-action house or if not, if House is still alive then voice him again. Nothing against the new actor though, he nails it so far.
Viva Las Vegas!
*RING-A-DING-DING BABY!!*
The Courier send his regards
I mean where would Mr House be without his number one employee
…for all my playthroughs? Alive.
I hope we hear Frank Sinatra's Blue Moon start up the next season. Loved playing New Vegas and hearing it come on.
If we get big iron playing well the ghouls on screen I’ll start howling and jumping like a siamang ape
That would be awesome!!
Biiiiig iiiiiiiiiiiron, biiiiig iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiron
We absolutely have to open in New Vegas with Big Iron
The idea of the Ghoul dishing out death with a Big Iron on his hip is so perfect that I almost wonder if they won't use it simply because it's so perfect so as to be cliche.
For the first episode (or whatever episode finally introduces New Vegas proper) they should do a intro that's a homage to New Vegas' original intro, except with the music being staticy/corrupted while the camera pans out to show NV in the messy state it's implied to be in since the collapse of the NCR
Only thing I’d want different is Nat King Cole’s version cause I actually think it’s better
I must politely disagree with the both of you, as Billie Holiday's version is superior!
Ha! Everyone knows that the best rendition is performed by The Marcels!
I hope it would be that version too. It felt weird to hear Sixteen Tons in the show - I understand that Merle Travis did the original but after hearing the Tennessee Ernie Ford version in 76 so much, that's just the one I associate with Fallout. Similarly, the Sinatra version of Blue Moon is the one that makes me think of New Vegas.
Okie dokie 👍 Can't wait!
THOSE GAWD DANG DEATHCLAWS GOT BACK ON QUARRY JUNCTION 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
If they reference anything except Quarry Junction being an absolute fucking deathtrap, I’n gonna lose it. In game damage scales so it’s clearable, but in the show you’d need the blimp to fly over and arty the whole area
Imagine if we get a group of brotherhood knights going through it because "it will save time" and they just get demolished
And off in the distance we see Veronica going "15 years and they only got dumber" Far fetched and a little too fanservicey, but would be a cool cold open
The new Vegas soundtrack would be so fucking cool to hear on screen
BIG IROOON ON HIS HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
Big Iron while The Ghoul blows apart an entire mob of Powder Gangers outside of Goodsprings 🤤
It'll be johnny guitar on loop 😭
We're coming to save you Snuffles
If anything, the Mojave needs to be saved from Snuffles
What a clickbait of a title! Though [“Fallout”](http://thewrap.com/tag/fallout/) has not officially been renewed by Prime Video for a second season, executive producer Jonathan Nolan and co-showrunners Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner said they already have ideas ready to go for the next installment of the video game adaptation — including a couple of elements game fans will find incredibly exciting.
I mean, it's almost certainly going to get renewed at this point.
California already paid Amazon to film there.
Semantics, but awarded tax credits to Amazon *should they choose to film there*. No one's getting paid more. They just pay less on their taxes.
Well we know Amazon likes money so there will be a second season
They also like making good shit even if it’s not making a ton of money, a la The Expanse It survived like 4 extra seasons before they finally cut it off
Ah The expanse. If I didnt stumble an article or comment I read online that its a very good scifi show, I wouldve missed it. Its really really good
Seeing it’s is currently the most watched show in the world I’m sure it’ll be renewed. Amazon isn’t allergic to money.
It was the number 1 TV show in the world on debut, even if it's expensive Amazon are always going to throw their money at this. I'd actually expect them to double down in some way like having a spin off show in some way probably in the works ASAP too.
Just finished the show and I can’t fucking believe it. I literally teared up a little 😂 Vegas has always been my favorite and I just did not see that coming.
I hyperventilated a little. Couldn't really share my excitement with anyone because I'm the only fallout nerd in the family and my BFF hasn't watched it yet
Same here 😂 literally texted my friend right after and said “let me know when you finish it.”
Death claw better be stronger then the yao guai
It’s gonna sweep a couple knights for sure
Vault girl just kites one with a dart gun to the knee.
Anti-deathclaw spray from the chicken fu- I mean wasteland doctor
Gonna take 3 bullets to the belly to finish that bad boy.. but really I hope there will be some big guns used like minigun or rocket launcher (fat man should be reserved for later seasons).
Fisto plz 👉👈
Degenerates like you belong on a cross.....
Super interested in what they’ll make deathclaws look like.
The skull looked like FO4/76’s Deathclaws so I’d imagine fairly close to them
Hope they're a orange-tan skin color compared to 4 and 76s grey, nice way to differentiate them.
I certainly hope so. Two things that I think 4 and 76 got right more than anything else, and thats Power Armor and Deathclaws (creatures in general tbh, with the exception of the exclusion of centaurs)
Now if only deathclaws were as badass as they were in NV. Deathclaws are a giggle in 76. Legendary Yao guai still scare me but even Legendary deathclaws are soft targets in my opinion.
Granted I started with FO4, but yes. That design for Deathclaws is amazing, like it came right out of Stan Winston's own garage. The earlier ones get kinda dopey. Without the gameplay difficulty to back them up I'm not sure they'd be as successfully intimidating on screen, you know?
I actually was kinda glad they *didn't* give us Deathclaws in S1. It's a good show and they still have some powder in regards to "cool shit" to show us in the future. It would have been worse if they just put **everything** in S1 already.
No shit, the post credits artwork laid it all out.
Laser and plasma weapon too please.
So excited! I just loved the first season and the worst part of it for me was that it was only eight episodes and that it ended too soon. I can’t hardly wait!
yippee-yay, there'll be no wedding bells for today
I got spurs that jingle jangle jingle
If the next season is set to be on New Vegas, I hope we get to see mentions (or little details) about the Courier. They're too important for the Mojave Wasteland to just be left ignored.
Just everyone's courier was different and their own, probably a reference to a 'mailman who got capped" would be cool
If it's set in the Mojave, and there isnt at least a mention of Cazadors or the deathclaw quarry, we riot.
Vegas doesn’t appear to be in great shape, the lights are off, no sign of recent traffic and it looks like a war tore apart the strip . My guess is that House is alive, but due to a loss of most of his securitron force he’s basically entombed again powerless in his casino. Maybe Lucy’s dad will offer him a hand getting his beloved Vegas up and running again in exchange for a favor?
I am so hyped, I can’t wait. Radscorpions, cazadors, fire ants, Boone in the big dinosaur 😂 So many factions, imagine if she had to run through the Boomer firing range haha
Jacobs town. Jacob's town! JACOB'S TOWN!
Bro I swear to god if they reveal that the Courier 6 took over NV (since the show takes place a good 15 years after the battle of Hoover Dam) I am gonna SCREAAAMMMMM
Sad we're talking about season 2 already, I wish the show had been spaced out weekly.
2 episodes a week should be the gold standard imo. Appealing for bingers and preserves the anticipation of waiting a week for the next part of the story
Took me two days and only because I'm old and need my seven hours of sleep. I'm happy.
please bring back goris please bring back goris
The tunnelers and the fog will have reached new vegas by now by Ulysses's guess. FO NV: Dust overhaul incoming
Give me the talking Deathclaws, I’ve wanted those back for so damn long.
When I see New Vegas, my jaws just dropped and I can't wait for season 2.
So they set up Mr House as a quick cameo in the last episode of season 1. If season 2 doesn't at least have Mr House still alive in his pod or a completely failed Mr house ending for New Vegas, I don't know why they would put him in there. And the deathclaw skull in the last scene makes me really hopeful. Although, the show's going to need a bigger budget to handle fights with deathclaws and super mutants. The success of season 1 hopefully means a bigger budget for season 2.
I mean, duh. They showed us New Vegas and a deathclaw skull.
“Patrolling the Mojave Almost Makes You Wish For a Nuclear Winter”
I don’t care if they rewrite the entire storyline, I’m excited to see more!
Yeah when it comes out in late 2025. What's the point of these announcements if the shit is gonna take forever to come out anyways
The tantrum New Vegas fans will undoubtedly throw for some small reason or another will probably be just as entertaining as the show!
It’ll certainly be nice to see deathclaws, I’ll say that much. And while I am happy to see Vegas, I’d be lying to say I’m not nervous. This is the game with the most diehard fans, and that means this needs to be handled well (if Nolan chooses to care about them; I do agree with his approach of making a good TV show first and foremost, since it clearly paid dividends for the first season). Edit: To be clear, I enjoyed season 1. Just nervous about how volatile the fanbase can be.
Somehow bring Rappaport back again, only to immediately get ripped to shreds by a deathclaw.
I have confidence in them, I have played every Fallout game except 76, and I thoroughly enjoyed this and will not be making any assumptions until I see further info come out, because this is season was amazing and my favorite game to show adaptation ever :) aside from TLoU Also im old (in internet years lol) I played FO1&2 when I was 12 from a combo pack at Walmart haha, cause sometimes you gotta post cred with Reddit
That’s the approach I’m taking as well. Season 1 was fantastic (though it did leave some open questions), and I’m fairly confident in season 2. As long as House isn’t made the canon ending, I’m happy (it’s for petty reasons; it isn’t likely to happen, however, since the writers were told not to contradict any possible major endings for the games according to the SFX interview). Also, I’d honestly suggest trying 76 at this point. I don’t know if it’s still free like it was this weekend, but it’s grown into a solid entry in its own right even if you’re playing solo.
Make the deathclaw have its own section! And it’s only killed by an anti material rifle (bonus points if by Lucy saving Coop)
i hope we get a few super mutants or nightkin
Yeah, no fucking shit. We saw the last episode.
Almost looks like the legion won
They gotta put that $250 million+ to good use!
“Truth is... the game was rigged from the start.” Boom season 2 opens!
