The best decision made with the series was not to make it "realistic" it still follows game logic, health packs that instantly heal, fusion power, mutants etc.

24:40 She’s wearing a Pipboy on her wrist. She can open the vault from outside as long as she doesn’t lose it.

Cool that you are watching the series :D The ghoul is indeed someone we already met and it will be clear next episode. In regards to the general world, the Vault stuff, the Brotherhood of Steel (the robo suits) and the Ghoul are happening at around the same time. The outside is still somewhat radioactive, yet people have survived outside. The question why the Vault dwellers didn't believe that to be true and are staying inside will be answered :) I would say in the most broadest strokes, based on the games, VaultTec (the ppl who build the Vaults) aren't like the bestest of people or corporations ^^ They are kinda somewhat infamously ... not good ... in all the games ;)

21:03 Maximus couldn't tell the difference between rotor and a circuit. I think identifying relics from prewar is very important for the brotherhood.

Glad you're watching the show, too :) As a fan of the games, I was and am very happy in how they made this. Fallout has quite a bit of quirkiness to it. Like, there are some rather outrageous elements, that players are already used to it. So, while it's not a comedy show, there is a lot of whacky and darker comedy to be found there as well. Enjoy it :)

The ghoul said something you have already heard, so yes, you have met him. You will figure it out later thought.

For folks who saw all the marketing, they weren't shy about The Ghoul's connection to the pre-war scene. In the FO universe a high enough radiation dose is usually lethal just like in ours but sometimes people become ghouls instead. They become immune to radiation and are nearly immortal unless killed. However most if not all eventually become feral and lose their humanity. The Ghoul seems to have used their immortality to level up enough to be seriously OP. As to how much radiation is safe, assuming the "linear no threshold" model of radiation effects is accurate, no amount is safe. All radiation effects are somewhat random, and increasingly so at lower doses where the consequence is greater cancer risk rather than acute illness or death that is caused by high doses. So at the low end it's a question of how much risk one is willing to accept.

14:55 A little fun fact: What Lucy stabs herself with is known in the Fallout games as a Stimpak, Stimpaks are basically shots filled with a mixture of healing agents, stimulants, antiseptic, blood, and steel, they’re fully capable of healing all to some physical injures (I say all to some because some injures require more than one Stimpak.) these are one of many chems, short for chemicals, you can find…these various chems include Mentats, a pre-War "party-drug" originally developed by Med-Tek, an in game company, for medical purposes, Buffout, a "sports-enhancement" drug popularized by pre-war athletes, Psycho, a combat-enhancement drug developed at the behest of General Chase, that’s something that happens post-war, Med-X, a painkiller found in many hospitals in game, and Rad-X, a preventive medication to be taken before exposure to radiation, when you take Rad-X in game it reduces the total amount of radiation you receive and bolsters your body’s own Radiation Resistance.

The thing about the "cousin stuff" is that if you take a hundred or two people into a vault, then two hundred years later there will be very few people who aren't related in one way or another. The social mores of a vault have to adapt. I would guess that we're talking about second cousins and further, but in a world with perfect contraception it probably doesn't really matter anyway, except in ikkyness factor. Without breeding, there's no chance of in-breeding. It's no worse than noble and royal families in the middle ages. Not that that's not a pretty unpleasant idea. A regular influx from vault 32 etc probably help mix things uo, but of course they have the same problem so the input from there is likely to be a bunch of cousins therselves.

Your playlist is in revered order.

Haven't seen any of these Fallout episodes yet, so this is going to be a treat for both of us Ola🥰Also, I didn't know Ella was starring in this, she is such a bada$$ already! I played Fallout 4 and 76 video game and I must say, so far did a brilliant job just like TLOU. Hopefully the series will go into further explanation on who is who and what they are further in. Basically the Brotherhood is the do gooders trying to bring order to the world. Mutants are transformed by the world and trying to survive and the cannibals are pretty much the same. Lots of fighting lots of pew pews...I hope🙂 Love it thanks so much Ola💞Have a wonderful night!

I was hoping I'd get to see what you thought of this :)

Ah, I've been meaning to watch this show because I really liked Ella Purnell in Yellowjackets! If I do end up doing that, I'll come back to these reactions :)

Stop Me Oh Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎

No the horse was the best choice. The EMP from the bombs probably killed all the cars.

I hope you enjoy this series. It is one of the best game to video adaptations ever.

You can easily watch the series without knowing the games, but I think you're missing out a bit. I see it when I watch the reaction to the series and someone says they have never played Fallout. Some of the theories that arise there before they get to know this world a bit. Most of the things they theorize about are trivially obvious to someone who has played the games. Yes, games in the plural, those who played Fallout 4 have the same number of puzzles, those who started with Fallout 3 have a little less. So I'm asking you if you want to play Fallout after watching the series. Then play Fallout 1 until at least 5 deaths. I know that this part is not as thrilling as the later parts in the first-person view and with a resolution that no one could even dream of in 1997. But this part most thoroughly explains the world in which the games and the series take place.

😁👍

I missed you Ola!

Hello, have you seen Tarzan The Fearless?

I am inclined to agree.

I don't see anyone mentioning it, but yes you picked up they them pronouns for aspirant Dane. The character, as well as the actor, is non-binary

Only thing that irritated me in this show was the fact that they had to put in non binary stuff. But in general the show itself was absolute fantastic 🙂.
