Finished it. Show good. actually excited to see what's going on in New Vegas. Hope House is still kicking about. Looks probably the NCR won Hover Dam II, then ate some nukes. Seems like they moved Shady Sands closer to LA?

Tankbuster posted:Narratively it firmly sets up Vault-Tec as the bad guys based on what Moldaver says. The show gives a glimpse of a functioning society without vault-boy looking down from every poster and then takes it away. They've always been among the bad guys though. And the NCR beating the Legion but attracting the attention if something sleeping and terrible to me makes sense. Also very curious to see what happens in New Vegas next season, and finding out how the Lost Hills guys metastasized

LifeLynx posted:I'm just micro-dosing some copium to make the timeline make sense in my head, that's all. I know in my heart that Todd Howard retconned New Vegas out of spite. The TV show takes place in 2296. When Shady Sands is nuked, Max is 4-8 years old, and in the show he's young 20's. So Shady Sands eats a nuke after New Vegas, 2281

Azhais posted:Because the NCR was nuked before the events of Fallout: NV. Sure, Vegas is still there, but the game isn't, which means any lore from the game is no longer valid, like how big the NCR was. The gently caress? Time is linear. The show is set in 2296, New Vegas was 2281.

I know there's a way to holster it, but I don't think anyone who plays ever holsters it unless they have to. You go 10% faster with your weapon holstered or some such in most games/mods

Bright Bart posted:I did notice this but what helps me is remembering what someone told me about the storylteller's perspective. The Ghoul doesn't end up being Howard by chance we follow him because he is Howard. The same for Lucy, why we follow her and not one of dozens of other vault dwellets who undertook a quest like this. And Maximus doesn't defy the odds to become who he does he did and that's why we follow him. You gotta figure, especially with the BoS in expansion mode, that there are loads of dead orphans in shredded BoS kit out there

so if that was the Prydwen, that likely implies quite a bit. Mostly I like how it indicates some impatience- "the gently caress are these dudes doing hiding in bunkers still? Get them recruiting wastelanders and smashing poo poo up!" sorta thing

Flesh Forge posted:Well this is the Ghoul going out of his way to be lovely towards her, I think he's extra spiteful to her (pouring his clean water on the ground e.g.) because she's so clean and he wants to dirty her up. This thing between them operates on a lot of levels, it's not just the world, it's very personal between them (mostly from Howard though) He refills the canteen from a dirty source, doesn't he? As in, what was in there to begin with was dirty water

TulliusCicero posted:I hope in the next season maybe Maximus meets the NV Brotherhood of Steel and they are less of Maxson's fascist bullshit, and maybe more Veronica at this point. poo poo that'd be a cool twist. In terms of power projection and longevity, the Maxson poo poo seems more effective. The Nevada chapter is almost dead after all. But because of the vertical hierarchy of the Brotherhood, activity and behavior can be hugely shaped by singular individuals. I kinda think Veronica is more likely to have abandoned the brotherhood though. Rougey posted:Veronica would be in her early 40s at this point... as is Felica Day (the original voice actor) who does have a fair amount of on screen experience.

dr_rat posted:Of course we've only seen the BOS from the TV show from Maximus point of view and the people in it he directly interacted with, so maybe he just got real unlucky and ended up in a really poo poo part of it. Although the shitness we did see seem to be normalised, so it seems unlikely the rest of the chapter is that great either. If they sent the Prydwen all the way back, there's no other way I can think of to perceive it than Arthur at very least placing his thumb on the scale

If he didn't have to sell Lucy out to get his medicine he wouldn't, but he's still self-serving at the end of the day. Good luck being not a self centered motherfucker after hundreds of years. Never really understood how Harold was so mellow Raul and Dean made way more sense to me Said it once already but when the ghoul gets that one brother to go for his gun, I figured that wasn't the first or even third time someone he killed had a relative set to run him down later BrotherJayne fucked around with this message at 07:55 on Apr 17, 2024 |

By the time The Ghoul is working kids' birthday parties with his daughter to pay alimony, he's split up with his wife because he knows she wants to end the world by dropping The Bomb. Then, when it drops, he knows she is responsible. He's seeing the machinations of his ex-wife destroy civilization. Peeeeeeer the looooore it was China that fired first, so vault tec was more building up a stockpile when the poo poo kicked off. Of course, I think it was like 6am on the west coast oriole poo poo, peeeeeeer theeeeee loooooore Rougey posted:Actually gently caress it, Laura Bailey voiced Royce/Vera Keys in Dead Money; having Day and Bailey being a pair of old Ex-Brotherhood types is too good an opportunity to pass up and really make some people eat crow.

dr_rat posted:Yeah, any sort of organisation if it wants to function well needs someone like Veronica, believes in the general cause but more than welling to callout bullshit. When all you have is people who are indoctrinated into it flaws just feaster and spread. You know, Arthur's ideology seems only a little more sustainable than Caesar's, so seeing the BoS eat poo poo is a possibility too. Although that flies in the face of all the love in Bethesda's heart for the big metal manly men
