Fallout TV Show: The Biggest Burning Questions Answered (ft. Todd Howard & Jonathan Nolan)

- Fallout Season 1 has been streaming on Prime Video for nearly a week now, and, from the early reactions, the streaming platform's adaptation of Bethesda's beloved video game franchise is already a hit. We're still awaiting official word from Prime Video on if we'll be getting Fallout Season 2, but we sat down with Todd Howard and Jonathan Nolan to get the scoop on all the Fallout lore tidbits that fans may have missed in Season 1.
The games, from Fallout 3 to Fallout 4, all the way to Fallout 76 and Fallout New Vegas, obviously play a heavy role in informing the Prime Video Fallout tv show. Amazon Prime Video pulled out all the stops, which we dig into in our exclusive Fallout interview with Fallout creator Todd Howard and executive producer Jonah Nolan.
We discuss a wide breadth of topics, including Walton Goggins’ The Ghoul and whether or not we’ll see a Fallout mod specifically for him, whether we’ll see Moldaver again, Cooper Howard ultimately inspiring Vault Boy, and more!
03:20 - What Made Todd Accept Jonah’s Fallout Pitch
07:20 - The Blowing Up of Shady Sands
10:35 - Creating Lucy, Maximum and The Ghoul
15:00 - Cooper Howard Vault Boy Inspo
22:54 - Westworld and Future Fallout Seasons

Todd is so happy people aren't shitting on him for once lol
16x the detail....
@@slapsbaceFallout 4 was a banger and in the humble opinion better than New Vegas. I've played all Fallout games and Fallout 3 and 4 are just my most played games. NV is great too, but it's not undeniably the best as you say.
You got a belly laugh on that one from me, lol. Spot on 😂
@@realEpicGold NV has the public consensus for having one of the most complex and well put together stories in video game history, in terms of gameplay sure but in plot and story fallout 4 pales in comparison
@@abhinavgokhale6917 I've always agreed that New Vegas has the best story and especially RPG elements of the modern games, but Fallout 4s gameplay is just so much more accessible and fun imo that it wins out in terms of my enjoyment.
Whoever had the idea to cast Matt Berry as Mr Handy deserves a raise.
Jackie Daytona ghoul season 2?
He legit is Mr handy in the game lol
@@cl4-tpgaming What? No he isn't lol. In the games, Steven Russel was the predominant voice actor for Mr Handy robots. Matt Berry was only voicing Mr Handy in the show, not in the games.
Now name yourself "fuckface" in FO4 to head codsworth say it
@@cl4-tpgaminghe can't be, they sound so different
When he said ''There's 'EVEN' some 76 in there''.
He knows.
I'm guessing that was a reference to the dangling Pip-Boy 2000 Mark VI in Ma June's Sundries when Lucy arrives in the central part of Filly in ep 2.
@BennyGoId Thaddeus getting a mutation too from that chicken lover
76 tasks players to secure nuclear silos, maybe alluding to how vault tec amassed their nuclear arsenal?
Yes he does but trys to spruke it at the end....
Every fallout fan is dying for fallout 5 not the proping up of 76
@@paulrodsted3905 A random throwaway line hardly seems like propping up anything. Also, the next Fallout isn't coming out until well after TES 6.
Props to the interviewer asked all the question we wanted to know!
There's quite a few questions she didn't ask which a lot of fans are wondering about.
She didn't asked about how it was possible that Vault 32 got cleaned up in record time and by whom?
How did Hank nuke Shady Sands?
How come no one in Vault 33 didn't have any problems with not recognizing anyone from Vault 32 during the wedding?
Hank said he was sorry to hear about Vault 32's oversears death which indicates he was communicating with Moldaver for some time, so how long were the raiders (or rather NCR) in Vault 32 and why didn't they disturb anything during their time there, there's lot's of stuff they could've brought back to their base. The fact that all oversears of Vault 32 and 33 were from Vault 31, shouldn't Hank have known everyone frozen there which were all Vault-Tec employees and thus have known Moldaver wasn't one of them?
Literally all these questions are answered in the show. Hank is a vault tech worker, so obviously he knew they were all vault tech workers. He nuked shady sands because he is a fault tech worke, he goes to new vegas at the end where they would have that. Vault 32 was clearly cleaned by vault 31ers, multiple in 33 at the time@@Radwar99
@@JamesThePokemonHunter he nuked it because his wife took his kids and lived there, so he took them back and killed everyone there. They were all part of management, not cientists or geniuses so they didn't know who Moldaver was.
@@Radwar99there’s a different between continuity and lore questions and story questions that will be answered in further seasons
@@Radwar99 those will not be answered until further seasons lol
There you conspiracy theorists go.... Todd says Fallout NV is canon and the timeline stands, he wasn't trying to sabotage New Vegas. The Timeline just works! It now has 16X the detail. And Daddy Howard says we haven't seen the last of the NCR.
💣 canon
Yeah, if the Enclave can survive being destroyed 3 times, the NCR can survive one city getting nuked.
But anyone that watched full series and played all knows this is for a fact,not opinion based on new Vegas, then they show it at the end of series 😂😂😂😂
Sprinkles of 3 and 4 but all scenery desert area ,they show the red rocket scene that's more 4 and 3 was practically irrelevant completely although there was a few things. Then the sunset saspirilla
😂😂😂@@dustyfedora
Seeing Todd happy about how well this show is going made me stoked, mans needed a win and I’m glad this is pumping up his tyres.
Wish Matthew Perry had lived to see this and be a part of it.
Ron Perlman should be the 3D face model for the Super Mutants in Season 2. That would be on brand.
Its shame they dident put him in there for some narrating cameo...
Voice too!
That's a fantastic idea.
He's got the looks and the intelligence of one
Super Mutats, super Mutants never Change.
She's a phenomenal interviewer; this was brilliant in its entirety, thanks IGN :)
We're getting Ghoul Thaddeus
He can be our new Harold.
Excellent side character.
Maybe super mutant Thaddeus
Ghoul Thaddeus will go so hard
@devinc9 there is no "New Harold"
The giant golf bags were hilarious. It totally fits the brotherhood and how they treat their recruits.
This is already one of my favorite interviews I've ever seen.
The interviewer did a fantastic job of not only asking intriguing and insightful questions, but the much more difficult part of organically keeping the answers and conversations going and interesting.
Man i'm so glad to see Todd happy - he deserves the praise alongside his passion for the Fallout franchise.
Jimmy? Da heck are you doin here?
Ayyyo open up Gary’s crib, time for osrs fallout season 2 fan theories 😂
@@IXIHSO bro is a fan of fallout, respect
True, I'm playing fallout 3/4 rn after being a NV fanboy and goddamn these games are unbelievable.
wtf are all og osrs players fallout nerds? Weird seeing a youtuber you've watched for years comment on a video about your other favorite game XD
Great decision to keep the lore instead of going a different route made me as a huge fan appreciate the show that much more
Oh don't worry, Bethesda breaks lore all the time, this show was no different and neither will be season 2 or Fallout 5.
@@CondemnedInformer It's the most on-brand thing Bethesda can do. "Oh, you like this? Let's do something else"
Seeing how involved BGS and Howard were, seeing how big of a fan Nolan was of the games (and he said the writers were even bigger fans), it proves that respecting the game/source material makes an adaptation so much better.
It really shits on the current Hollywood mantra so typified by the Halo show and the Witcher show of "we're just going to use the universe and do our own thing." I'm so sick of narcissistic Hollywood writers these days thinking they are better than the source material. They never are.
The mantra has always been a terrible mindset. In order to adapt the material, you first need to understand and appreciate it; in order to know when to take liberties with the property. People need only look at any solid videogame adaptations (i.e. Arcane; Last of Us), to see that the creators love and appreciate the source material. So, any modifications or added material they wish to make, is done with the purpose of adding to the material. Not detracting from it.
After the recent Witcher fiasco. This show gave me hope.
@Andy.Pandy97 last of us missed the mark for me.
@@MrWarhead16 What's the recent fiasco with The Witcher? Henry Cavill leaving or something else?
@@BradTheAmerican Henry Cavill leaving because the showrunners didn't want to stick to adapting the books and wanted to do their own thing instead.
they gotta save Perlman for the series finale, Lucy completes her journey and the classic slideshow rolls with a Ron Perlman recap hahaha
That's a great idea ❤ I also want to see him in a role of some sort of scribe or srchivist. someone that would say stuff like this. Making his narrations more immersive
Ron the CEO of Vault-Tec
No, Bethesda threw him out in Fallout 4 and 76, they hate him. Typical Todd, shitting on Fallout since 2015.
@@CondemnedInformer
You know he is in 76 right?
Love that Todd Howard brought up how nice everyone in 76 is. It is truly the most kind online community of any game I've ever played
Absolutely. Sad that people still judge that game poorly based on a couple objectively bad post-release years. The game itself improved a lot since than.
@@Jovanelo i'll check it out, thank you
Kind of funny how he said the 76 apocalypse is "nice" considering they pretty much took out every PvP aspect essentially driving off all the raider type players. They removed survival and Nuclear Winter 😅😂
@@WarmSandsPVP makes any game a cesspool.
@@JABelms yes, you're right. But my point is the community was rather heated before they forced everyone to become simple roleplayers. PvP use to be a big deal in 2019-2020 and trap bases were everywhere. It's what made the game stand out from the single player games.
Intertwining it with the Canon game universe gives it more value to long-time players. It's more challenging but also more rewarding and why fan bases fall away from adaptations
Talking about the shady sands bomb lining up with what goes on in New Vegas was definitely not expected. What a goated interviewer Alex is
Finally people can stop crying about the NCR 😂
@@The-Red-Menace whatever helps you sleep at night
Loved the interviewer, she was professional and well spoken. You can see if an interview is going well by the reaction of the interviewees... They're interested in what she's asking, and the response its gonna get.
Props, loved this.
The show Just works!
it really does
16x the detail in this show.
Dont ask questions!
Just consume product and
get excited for next product!
@@HoldinContempt Ironic considering what video you are commenting on.
@@HoldinContempthighly obedient
Love how both are in the same page. You can feel the approval of what each other say about the project. This feels more like a passion project that went right🙌🏽
That lady did superb as interviewer. Thx for asking important questions!
Waiting for season 2 almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter. ☢
Can't beleive we have to wait another 2-3 years
It’s is very likely we get a nuclear winter before we get to S2…and that folks is true immersion😭🤣
@@maxzapom Doubt it will take 2-3 years to make a second 8 episode season, even a 10-12 episode season should take 2 years at most.
@@maxzapom WHAT!??
@@LoliPolice-bf7mwyou’re right, plus they have the sets and props already so some things should be easier to expedite than starting from scratch. early 2026 max
Kyle McLachlan was a great choice.
Love me some Orson Hodge. Iykyk
@@maedhrosv8449 wheelchair to power armor is quite the upgrade lmao
*mandatory twin peaks ref here*
Brilliant cast overall.
People are jumping back into all the Fallout games after this shows success. You love to see it!
Is Cooper Howard named after Todd Howard?...
"No comment"
There you go
gotta love that napolean complex.
@@HoldinContempt that's not what a napoleon complex is
Its so strange to have a coop in a show with Kyle Mclachlan when agent Cooper is so iconic
BRO NAMED THE MOST BADASS CHARACTER AFTER HIMSELF
😂😂😂
Love listening to these guys explain the reasons behind some of the decisions in the show. Cements some of my own thoughts and makes me think about other things in a new light. Great show, all the thought put into it is really apparent.
SHOCKING! A show made by fans for fans is LOVED BY THE FANS!!! Thanks you guys, any wait to see where the story goes
You know, Fallout 3 was also made by fans, and people hate it nowadays. Fallout The New Frontier was made by fans, and history knows how that turned out. So yeah. It is, in fact, quite shocking
Did you mean: franchise tourists?
@@time_keeper643 Which people hate 3? I loved Fallout 3!
great to hear Todd give love to New Vegas
really great to see how the show turned out!
Best screen adaptation of a video game ever. The Last of Us is solid but the tone is too consistently one dimensional.
Yeah, but arcane tho!
@@alexisdalmeida2147i can't even put one over the other ... arcane and fallout show are both the greatest simultaneously lol
Exactly
Love how much we're getting to see and hear from behind the scenes
Great interview, and some great decisions made by these guys - hats off to the whole team. Excited for a second season !
Happy Howard in every interview so far. He's very happy with feed back.
Bethesda redemption arc.
He's happy that a project he promoted was finally well received 😂
Poor man clearly hasn't seen reddit
@@suspiciouschicken Nobody seeking hope should view reddit.
Anything to take attention away from the disaster of 76.
They're faithful to the timeline of the lore, _even New Vegas_ Todd says with emphasis 👀 Oh boy I'm excited for Season 2!
This answered so many questions!!
Great interview, thank you!
Hey IGN........ Great job.... Thank you.
One thing to remember is who wrote the Fall of Shady Sands date on the chalk board. What is their viewpoint and idea of what that means.
They should have Ron Perlman recap Season 1 whenever they release Season 2 😂
Or maybe he could be the Mysterious Strangers perk lol
Absodammlutely !
ron perlman has been dead for years
@@Rolexonytno he’s not 😂
@@Rolexonytwut
look at nolan's face when howard confirms the fall of shady sands is not when a nuke dropped 💀7:58
"it doesn't mean a nuke necessarily"
"Correct" - Todd
Nolan is reacting to a different statement
Come ON, man! Let the dog alone, come down, and eat some dinner lol
Yeah, thankfully Todd is the boss here.
It could read several different ways. But to me it looks like Todd spoiled a plot point or twist Nolan spend 10 hours on.
To me, it looks like he was about to say something but stopped. But if there is a twist spoiled, do we assume House gave Hank the nuke just after New Vegas? 🤔
This was a brilliant interview.
As a diehard Fallout fan who is extremely critical of video game adaptations... They did a great job.
You didn't mind the destruction of Sandy Sands just like that?
Great interview, well done.
Not Todd dodging the fallout 5 question.
"Threading the needle really close"
Already says everything we need to about where and when 5 takes place
@@BrandonDenny-we1rw Im betting on San Francisco
@@BrandonDenny-we1rwhe was talking about the show and the timeline upto that point, they were cutting close weaving through the leading up events in the show-new Vegas-the shady bomb
Not to mention they had to make sure nothing effects the fallout 4 timeline as well which is 6 years after New Vegas
@@jarrodsherman420They take place on opposite sides of the continent and don’t immediately effect one another
Great interview! Love 💕 love ❤️ the show ! Awesome team awesome cast ❤ thank you so much 😊
THANK YOU FOR MAKING A TV SHOW THAT IS REALLY CONNECTED TO THE GAMES STORY... WE LOVE IT!!! WAITING FOR SEASON 2 ALREADY!!!
Loved the questions!

Average Halo enjoyer here, very happy your show is awesome.
It’s not
@@Jim-Bagelthanks for coming bro
that was such a great interview! Kudos to you girl.
This show gives me so much hope for amazons Mass Effect adaptation.
Amazon also made rings of power. I’m cautiously optimistic
We need a Bioshock one!
we need a red dead one!
Also their Warhammer 40k adaptation with Henry Cavil directing it. So many great game adaptations incoming
@@ataluscas Netflix working on this... which is going to be the Wish of game adaptations
Very successful interviews for everyone involved, thank you.
Jonathan Nolan looks like Brad-Pitted Theo Von
Was literally just thinking that haha
You sir need to be like a police sketch advisor or something along those lines 😂.
Such a fantastic show, PLEASE remake Fallout 1! I would bet there were a ton of people who didnt gasp at the Shady Sands reveal.
I've never played fallout games, but if they release a new game or a remake really on today standards, I'd definitely have a try
Please don’t censor Fallout 2 with the the sleazy triggering things Myron can do to our player character or what we can do to the Bishops. Also please don’t cut out one of the many professions and surgeries we can get.
"The Leslie Knope of Wasteland"...That made me respect the interviewer so much.
Thank you for asking the real questions we all wanted to ask
Amazing interview!
Fallout has the potential to be like the Simpsons and be a never ending show. There's so many stories and lore it's crazy.
Great questions! The interview we actually wanted to see!! 👍
What a great interviewer, asking all the right questions!

Literally EVERYONE I've come across in 76 has helped me out with either gifts or knowledge, It really is an awesome, friendly apocalypse.
Great interview.
"The Leslie Knope of the Wasteland," was an apt description of Lucy, personality-wise.
Great show. Everyone did one hell of a job.
Very happy they intergrated it into the existing lore and expanded things, instead of doing something unrelated.
Great interview, great interviewer 👍.
Brilliant interview and interviewer!

Todd Howard - Not Star Wars, Not Star Trek, Not Marvel..No one in history has been given the gift that you have of having that moment where you can completely change the narrative surrounding an entire franchise in a way that could bring 'all' of your fans..home. Choose wisdom. Choose heart. .. For we are beginning to believe.
