Fallout Lore: Given that we visit this city in the Fallout TV Show, and it is also a location that dates back to the original Fallout, I wanted to cover the location and break down SOME of the mystique to the city of Los Angeles. After the Great War, it is often referred to as The Boneyard or Angel's Boneyard.

I really appreciated Boston because I live near there, but I felt like they put way more effort into the Capital Wasteland than the Commonwealth when it comes to accurately recreating the areas. Maybe that's just because they were closer to DC. For reference, last time I was in DC, I was able to navigate from some big convention center to the Smithsonian while listening to the Fallout 3 soundtrack with ease.

Hopefully we get to see more factions (old or new) in season two. With the show being set in the West Coast, it would be such a waste for them to not showcase other factions that aren't just Vault Tec, the Brotherhood, or NCR.

I would love if they remastered them so they felt like something akin to Wasteland 3.

One of my favorite regions in the Fallout universe and relatively untouched by lore until the TV show and it only was a small portion of LA Metropolis. I am glad you touched on the fact Shady Sands in the show is located way closer to LA than the original games did and this has to be explained. I hope it isn’t just an oversight or retcon. I hope the NCR just created a new Shady Sands closer to Hollywood and then it got nuked and they went back to the original spot which is way farther north east of LA.
@nvRanger
@nvRanger 2 ай бұрын
Yea I’m quite nervous for their explanations. I’ve also heard some saying in that scene that the skyscrapers and city in the background were constructed by the NCR and we were actually still far from the boneyard. I find this incredibly far fetched and I don’t remember exactly where we were in the show.
@northerner3340
@northerner3340 2 ай бұрын
@@nvRanger It's super easy to pinpoint where the shows Shady Sands is if you use the Observatory in the last episode as a reference. If Shady Sands is supposed to be where all the buildings are lit up, then it's exactly where the boneyard is on the fan-made interactive map. (More towards Culver City but still) And if this isn't Shady Sands or the Boneyard, then why is Moldarver going though the trouble of powering unoccupied buildings? How do they have a functioning power grid all across LA 200 years after the bombs, let alone 20 years after the LA based "Shady Sands" nuke?
@nvRanger
@nvRanger 2 ай бұрын
Can we see the crater from the observatory, not sure I follow. LA is no doubt (supposed to be) the Boneyard. They just don’t refer to it as such in the show that I recall and it also appears very differently than it did in the original Fallout. Shady Sands wasn’t in the Boneyard in that game, it was way out in the Desert. We don’t hear about Adytum, or the Followers various institutions, or the Gun Runners. And I agree I have no idea how there’s a functioning power grid, but idk nothing bout power grids tbh.
@northerner3340
@northerner3340 2 ай бұрын
@@nvRanger Maybe I'm making the wrong assumption, but I thought the skyscrapers that light up are between the crater and the observatory, obscuring it from view. If Moldaver's plan was to bring power to power Shady Sands, then it makes more sense to power what's left of it surrounding the crater, than to power a empty ruin miles away

4:34 I'd think it would be interesting if that was the case. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9WDiqSinbPahWQ.html This video here from 1961 really hits home the amount of growth the City was going through, so much to say at 6:38 "There may be 25 Million people here to 50 Years(2011)" likely based on estimations of population growth of the time. I'd think it would be really consistent with the theme in Fallout of a "1950s-60s" mindset and futurism for the City that was expected to become the biggest soon ends up being the biggest in the Fallout world.

I enjoy introducing each lore video with some form of real world association to the topic at hand. The closest I could find to relate to the disarray of Los Angeles was the various LA Riots. Obviously the Fallout universe pre war situation does touch on the same issues but there certainly was public unrest and panic given the state of the world with resource shortages/wars and nuclear war on the horizon.

Reality is intertwined with our fiction. Fiction pulls from reality regularly, especially within Fallout. Endless examples there. Yes the LA Riots have little to do with Fallout directly, but I try to include something from reality in each lore video I do and the Fallout universe is certainly no stranger to civil unrest. The 90s edginess had an impact on the style of Fallout as you stated so there’s a connection you made an example of. I’m not sure I understand your complaint. It’s up to you separate reality from fiction regardless of the media you’re consuming.
