Bussamove posted:“All these disparate people just happened to meet up and things conveniently happened to make that possible” is, like, the weirdest complaint because yes that is how plots and stories happen, people meeting and doing things. It's a solid show but people are mad at Bethesda/Todd Howard so they want to find something to complain about and that's about all you can complain about here other than "boy there's sure a lot of Fallout stuff in this show about Fallout! Shoving Nuka Colas and Sugar Bombs in our face!"

New Vegas is the one with the story everyone likes, right? (Although I think I recall lots of praise for the Far Harbor expansion for a previous title as well.) Setting the second season in that setting is both a no-brainer and seriously risky. It's the obvious move because it already has a story that everyone likes and yet can be played with given the perspective of the new characters. Risky because I don't see how Lucy and Maximus can get involved in something that cold blooded. Mr. House has a cameo during the meeting of the bigwigs right?

I wonder how weird it is to wake up and now you're pretending to be another vault dweller and your old friends are there but they are old now and you can't talk to them the same as you once did.

Yep he's the Howard Hughes-looking dude from RobCo. I hope that the show doesn't stay in the Mojave too long because the endings for New Vegas all mark a massive turning point in the Wasteland depending on who comes out on top. If House is alive then it's a robot army industrial powerhouse. If the Legion won then its a slaver state. If the NCR won then its a messy new state in the country that isn't doing so hot with its home city nuked. If Vegas went independent then it's an anarchist playground. Or they could be big fans of the DUST mod for New Vegas where the entire mojave goes up in flames and becomes a survival horror simulator.

Ending I don't think the Legion's going to be around, it'd be neat to see some but I doubt it. NCR depends on what they've done there since it's unclear. Since House was in the conspiracy meeting and Hank I guess thinks he can get help in Vegas, I think that points to the House ending as what they're going with. Probably the most interesting possibilities grow from that one anyway.

Make Hank realize that Vault-Tec really, really shouldn't have pissed off the surface dwellers.

I actually thought there was going to be a reveal that Maximus was a child of the remnants of the legion, hence his name and being brought into the Brotherhood as an orphan. they have to factor into season 2 in some way, even if it's only a reference like most of the NCR stuff this season.

Saw rumor that tax credits for a season 2 production are already approved so combined with it being received well I guess that's making it likely.

This would be what I'd do, but I'd also have some Legion remnants hanging around at the edges too. Make the entire arc of the show (what, four seasons?) be them travelling from one side of the US to the other. Do an entire season in Florida, pump in some original content and completely new settings / factions.

The Strip doesn't actually need Hoover Dam to function. Part of the House/Independent ending involves activating a power substation that makes New Vegas entirely self sufficient, removing Hoover Dam as a bargaining chip for the outside factions. It doesn't stop Hoover Dam from being one of the most important strategic locations in postwar America for just how much electricity it can generate, but it is also simultaneously useless for anyone who wants to use it to threaten the Strip's independence.

So in the big meeting of all the heads of industry, who was the shadowy figure that seemed to send Barb a message? Bud was losing control and Barb looked down at her pipboy then up at the figure then took over the meeting.

That's a lot of rationalization for why a 30 year old actor looks like he's 30 playing a 19 year old. Next you'll be telling me that Thaddeus isn't actually 20 because his actor is 43.

He looks like he is 30 but the size of like a 12 year old. So maybe they just wanted to split the difference.
