in fairness, the show only stated that Vault-Tec was willing to drop the bombs if they had to, not that they definitively did. in New Vegas, Mr House even says that his "predictions" on when the bombs would fall was off by about 20 hours, meaning maybe Vault-Tec was planning to drop the bombs that day but someone beat them to the punch. something still went wrong, someone wasn't behind the wheel.

About the Ghouls! In Fallout 4 you get a companion named Hancock who is a chem fiend. His whole purpose in life is to do as many drugs as possible. As you rank up affinity with Hancock you actually learn that he was a regular human who did a ton of drugs until one day some strange man sold him some chems he said would turn him to a ghoul! Hancock being Hancock knowingly took the chems and did that to himself! So not only did the bombs create the ghouls, some people have learned to manufacture a drug of some sort to Ghoulify others and I find the shows expanding on that fascinating!

In Fallout 4 during the Nuka World DLC there’s a ghoul who has a friend who was working on an inoculation against feralisation, which could be the reason they have vials to repress symptoms of feralisation. As for Dr. Chicken Fucker, I think that the cocktail of experimental drugs that are in his bag accidentally throw a large amount of rads that mix with the post-war irradiated genes in wastelanders to create a ghoul like experience.

Regarding your gripe about Vault-Tec being responsible for the bombs, to be fair that's not what the show said - just that they were talking about it. I even heard somewhere (can't remember who or where or if it's even canon) that an unknown *someone* beat them to it. Also, the reason they had the idea was that they would then essentially own the world (or at least America) after Reclamation Day. Made perfect sense to me.

Odds are that's what the show is gonna do with how they are framing it. If that's the case, they now made Mr. House look dumb with how they involved him in it. Because if he knew when it was gonna happen, then how did he not get his upgrade on time and saved more of the surrounding area. Also, the whole point for Project Safehouse was to experiment for long term space travel for future planetary colonization. It wasn't "for profit," more for specifically self preservation. Because when the dang world ends, money ain't gonna be worth anything.

On the Vault Tec thing, it's always implied that the Enclave was puppeteering Vault Tec and a few other companies like they were the highest levels of government and the military. I see it completely fitting that the Enclave had a plant (most likely Coop's wife) that pushed the idea of pulling the trigger. Plus in fallout 3 the Vault Tec logo is literally on the bomb in the center of Megaton. Regarding the satellite, I don't think they're replacing China as the main rival to the US. In many games you come across soviet messages and old military assets that were spying, just not to the extent or threat of China. So it would make sense that a Soviet spy satellite crashed

Ghouls are created by radiation exposure, but it's not the actual parent cause. Decayed FEV got released into the atmosphere, which is largely why everything is mutated to an extent. It's not pure like the stuff from facilities, but it still has enough mutation-inducing ability to prompt changes in creatures. Humans seem unaffected, but it's still done something to DNA that causes changes in response to certain stuff, in this case being radiation.

I know Tim also wanted everything to be radiation, he has an entire video about it.

A kid survived the blast in a fridge, became a ghoul and then didn't become feral for more than 200, but ghouls from show can't stand more than a couple of days (Cooper) without it. Unless they will directly state that there exist two types of ghouls.

I understand your perspective with Vaul Tec. Though just because they're floating the idea, it doesn't guarantee that they were the ones who pulled the trigger in the end. The showrunners could be playing with us here. But if you're more frustrated at the motivation in and of itself, one could posit that with their insider knowledge, Vault Tec saw nuclear fallout as a statistical inevitability, and that by speeding up that process just a tad, they could outmaneuver both America and China to become the prime architects and leaders of the new world. A kind of self-serving fatalism. Though I think the irony is that even they were too late, and it is still possible that we'll never know who let the bombs fly. Drink looks tasty btw

FEV was developed Pre-War as a defense against future plagues. One of the bombs landed directly on the facility, scattering an irradiated form of FEV across the planet as part of the nuclear winter, which caused minor mutations in humans, and was likely the cause of the irradiated creatures like Yao-Guai, Radscorpions, and the like. (And the exposure of those on the surface also made them unable to be turned into Super Mutants, which is why the Master was after Vault Dwellers for his army.)
@DracoSafarius

@@Janoha17 It's not that surface dwellers couldn't be turned, it's that they were largely inferior due to resulting mutants being on the dumber side. Those that had large radiation exposure were even dumber. The rest, though, dead on. Will add, however, that for the case of ghouls (for the original comment) it is prompted primarily by radiation. Hancock's account implies there's another way that makes the body respond this way, but given that he looks like other ghouls it's likely the drug he got was extremely irradiated.

Gonna get super nerdy here. The thing about the pip boy is that it was always intended to be wrist mounted. That literally goes all the way back to the manual for the original Fallout (which is all written in-universe). In the pip boy section it say "The RobCo PIPBoy 2000 (hereafter called the PIPBoy), is a handy device that you wear on your wrist." It actually bugs the crap out of me when people think the pip boy 2000 is basically a tablet that you hold in your hand, because that's never been the case and is actually lore inaccurate. That idea just seems to be this weird Mandela Effect that some OG Fallout fans have developed. Not singling you out or anything, just speaking in general.

The theory that vault-tec dropping the bombs has been a theory for a while. And the explanation is that they would be the saviors of mankind and (if everything went to plan) they would be able to monitor every vault experiment from thei main vault(fallout 2 i think). Ghouls are usually made from instantaneous or slow exposure to radiation. The serum to make ghouls was also used in a previous game, and there have been instances where people intentionally ghoulify themselves to become immortal. I would not be surprised that a random quack doctor using a hyper radioactive serum mixed with some radaway or whatever that drug they needed to not go feral in the show. Good drink, I also hope to see more laser weapons and more about the setting in Season 2.

@@leonrussell9607 I don't understand how you, or Greg, can legitimately think that one scene of some Wild Wasteland encounter with a weird, probably FEV serum peddling, crazy dude was somehow implying that that's how ALL ghouls are created, or even how a significant portion of them were created for that matter.

Drinking the original Atomic Cocktail almost makes you wish for a Nuclear Winter.. Counter point for Vault-Tec's "Big Plan" [SPOILERS]: Vault-Tec deciding to drop the bomb themselves actually makes perfect sense to me when you really consider the world of the 2070's. You have to remember that around that time there was basically an international incident the equivalent of the Cuban Missle Crisis occurring pretty much every week. The thought of Nuclear War was not a fantasy, it was a reality. Nuclear technology was already being actively deployed on the battlefield in smaller yields, and tensions with warring nations only got more intense over time. The end of the world, to the people that were really smart enough to see the full picture, was simply inevitable. The idea of mutually assured destruction had already deteriorated, and what little philosophical safety net our politicians had in real life that prevented them from pressing the big red button was already fast unravelling throughout the 2070's in Fallout's timeline. If you're a massive tech company like Vault-Tec or RobCo and you know the end of the world as we know it is close to 100% inevitable, priorities will shift from short term profits to long term legacy. If continued existence in the world that we know is no longer possible, then the only logical conclusion would be to preserve the company for a world where it is. The entirety of Vault-Tec's management was frozen inside Vault 31. Every board member, every major shareholder, every floor manager.. that's a lot of important people with a lot of important jobs to suddenly put on ice overnight, and logistically speaking, its a very real possibility not everyone (if anyone) would be able to make it to the vault before the bombs fall. You'd need a lot of notice to move and freeze that many people, and a lot of notice is not something you get with Nuclear War. If, then, the goal is to give Vault-Tec management the highest possibility of success of survival.. and the world is going to end anyway... does it really matter who drops the first bomb? From a cold, corporate perspective, facing certain annihilation.. I could see being the first to drop the bomb as being an acceptable, calculated risk necessary for the preservation of the company. That said though, I'm not entirely convinced Vault-Tec actually DID drop the bomb in the show... don't forget the person who suggested dropping the bomb in the first place was Cooper Howard's wife, and the first bombs fell while Cooper was performing at a birthday party. I'm sure its possible that shortly after Cooper discovers his wife's plan with Vault-Tec that they divorced or separated, but Cooper's daughter was also with him at the party, and even after a nasty divorce I find it VERY unlikely his wife would allow her daughter outside a vault when the bombs fall, unless she was also cut off by Vault-Tec for some reason, like some kind of corporate double cross. All I know is I can't wait for season 2 =P

They asked the US to stop, the US said okay, but continued developing it behind closed doors so china nuked us. I like the idea that maybe vault-tec leaked to china that the us was still making bio weapons, and I hope the show does that. Doors still open for them to elaborate on the whole vault tec dropping the bombs. Besides, the meeting in the boardroom isnt just vaut tec, its all the major corpos, the oligarchy. The oligarchy and the Federal government (the Enclave) created the vaults for their own benefit so that (according to Tim Cain) they could develop space ships for the Enclave to escape to find a new planet to live on. The Vaults would give them the information they need for long term isolated space travel.

They were certain that global thermonuclear war was inevitable. The reason they wanted to launch a nuke and provoke the exchange is that they wanted to control *when* the inevitable would happen.

As for the bombs, Vault-Tec being the people who pushed the button is just stupid, in the games it's most likely to be the chinese (pushed back to beijing) with the slight chance that USA f'd up. If anything V-T seems more reasonable to have tried a scare tactic that ultimately resulted in the superpowers nuking themselves.

There are also several pre-war ghouls and people who willingly became ghouls to survive the coming bombings. Also everyone in the upper levels of power knew a nuclear war was inevitable and Vault-Tec wanting to have control of where the bombs dropped would make sense, although it wasn’t actually confirmed they did drop them they only started discussing which probably spooked China who then attacked first.

I like how there's so many sources for ghouls. My headcannon is that constant radaway usage and exposure to nuclear powered devices like robco robots and cars and the like interacted to create the old world ghouls. New ghouls are from radaway and low level radiation from where the bombs hit. Having it be a drug works too though. I'd push back on there not being many old world people around. Mr. House, Raul Tejada, Codsworth, Fawkes, Liberty Prime, Harold, The gangster guy who Nick really doesn't like (possibly the first ghoul), the ghoul who owns Cait, Nick Valantine himself kinda, all of vault 111's residents till whathisname steals the baby, and more I'm forgetting. Sure they're not common, but every town seems to have one or two hanging around. Yeah Coop's time looked nice, but there is no war in Hollywood (riff on there is no war in ba sing say). Plus the news clips all showed bad stuff happening, but because it was a kid's party they kept changing the channel away. Later in the show they could've showed how bad it was getting though.

Vault Tec is a defense contractor. That's always been the case, it's in all the printed material for Fo1 even. The government was the customer for the vaults. Part of their mandate is to do experiments on residents to determine the best methodology to build a colony ship to migrate the species off-world, because the earth won't be habitable for ever. That's all within the scope of their work for the government. The idea that "Vault Tec just DOES EXPERIMENTS" like Cave Johnson is some bethesda wackiness.

One of the themes for Fallout as a whole series is "the old world is dead" but a theme that's also concurrent is people from that era, as well as their descendants, trying to bring back those old world ideals to create their "ideal" thriving societies. Every time you see someone come in to a position of power, they're following old war ideals. So the large amount of pre-war characters who are still alive is honestly not that bothersome to one of the themes of the franchise. It's very on brand for Vault-Tec as well as the government as a whole to have contingencies like that in place. Try to keep the old world as alive as possible.

I don't agree. I always felt the theme being: "Times change, world change, people die and people are born, but war never changes." Bringing back people from before the war demolishes that. You can now point fingers at evil people in power in Vault-Tec destroying the world, then coming back 200 years and nuking settlements yet again. Clear villain. Whole before all off that it was left unanswered who dropped the bomb. Was it USA, was it China? Maybe it was aliens? No, it was Vault-Tec with support of many other corporations to make a "profit". It is no longer about people not changing, it is about the same bad people doing bad things pre-war and then much, much later.

Crazy that this is a KZfaq channel about themed alcoholic drinks and you've had the single most succinct and interesting review and discourse I've seen about the show and a knowledge of anything before FO3... and I follow so many fallout specific channels. Greg, you're fucking awesome. Thank you for making this.

ghoulification via drugs was actually a thing in fallout 4, Hancock, the ghoul in charge of goodneighbor, became a ghoul because he took some weird fucked up concoction of drugs. my understanding is that if you get exposed to enough mutagenic material all at once it might turn you into a ghoul, or just kill you.

Well his skin, or at least the outer layer of it, is gone like other ghouls. So he was definitely highly irradiated to cause the total hair loss and skin degradation, neither of which would happen if he was already a ghoul since they're immune. The drug, if it even was one, was probably highly irradiated. As for other causes, it's likely possible. It's just a certain level of DNA damage prompting the body to trigger some mutations from the past decayed FEV in the air.

1: Vault tech dropped the bomb in an unmade movie from the original game producers. 2: in the TV show, it never says they did drop it. It says they suggest they WE did. It could be we as in vault tech or we as in the USA. 3: Ghouls are not changed, they are expanded. They are still ambiguous. There were almost no retcons.

Goggins does not get enough credit. Him in Righteous Gemstones and American ultra really show his range. And range is something hollywood is missing today.

"It's gotta be grounded in reality" immediately wants energy weapons

Grounded in reality and energy weapons (or magic, or dragons, etc) are absolutely not mutually exclusive. Human motivations remain the same. Corporate executives want lives of luxury and status and wealth. So here’s our corporate plan: let’s alter the world so our money is meaningless, there’s no luxury, and status is imaginary. The only way to go along with it is to throw your hands up and turn your brain off, and at that point you can’t meaningfully engage with it, and what are we even talking about?

​@howtodrink I feel like the show didn't explicitly say they dropped the nukes, and even if they did it was clear they wanted to control the world. Wiping the slate clean and rebuilding as the sole controller is fairly in line with vault tec in my mind.

the fact that Tim Cain one of the lead dev's on the original fallout game said you are one of his favorite creators just shows how great your stuff is

THANK YOU! For saying that about Vault-Tec dropping the bombs. This show was very fun to watch, but there were points where the writing and tone just threw me out the window.

Now that you mentioned it, Dorn doing a cameo in full klingon face would be Both lore-accurate and probably get a lotta people angry... I want it. If only as a geest litmus test tot decoder if I wanna keep listening
