These are more skill stats than S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats although the show does have a lot scenes where S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats come into play. The first one that comes to mind is when Lucy's cousin, the gate keeper, gets attacked by a raider and the raider ends up tripping and getting himself cut in half, showing that her cousin has high luck probably in exchange for his obviously lacking charisma.
She lit a fire on her first night on the surface and met the first enclave scientist you see in a while who isn’t completely and totally evil. It’s not her dump stat, but given what COULD have happened she’s pretty lucky.
Her brother would/could be House level intelligence if it was cultivated properly. He’s bored with everything in the vault and because of its political hierarchy he probably won’t ever reach his potential.
Later in the show he's shown to hack the terminal of the overseer (With the same minigame from the games!) implying he's at least good in the science skill.
The brother is awesome despite being a side character, a first he not very likeable, but then starts shine when begins to active rebel against the order of things. I think the reason he comes off not very good at first is because he is a non-conformist and dose not fit into vault life, which seems selfish considering how nice it is, but turns out he is in the right for not doing so when truth is reviled, awesome character development.
Lucy has childish naivety, but also same childish readiness to learn and adapt. That makes her perfect protagonist to enter that wild and brutal world.Her big eyes really sells the innocence and naivete of a vault Dweller ignorant of the surface. Which makes her turning badass even more awesome

Having played virtually all the Fallout games, beginning with the original from 1997, I appreciated the reference to in-game skills. Repair, Science, and Speech are self explanatory. The other descriptions are less direct but easily matched to the appropriate skill or stat. Watching movies with Dad= Endurance (while peddling), possibly Agility and Perception as well. Gymnastics club= Agility. Fencing team C= Melee skill. Intermediate phys ed= Unarmed skill. Riflery= Small Guns skill (Fallout 1 and 2) or simply Guns (Fallout 3 onward). Implied to be one of her Untagged skills (she has some familiarity but isn’t very proficient with firearms). The reference to her teaching Ethics, as well as her chipper demeanor, may be a nod to the Good Natured trait, which gives a bonus to non-combat skills like Speech, Medicine, Repair, and Science but at a cost to combat skills. Overall, she comes across as a “pacifist” build, an image reinforced later in the episode when her first weapon turns out to be the non-lethal syringer. Incorporating these concepts into an oral recitation of her CV is a nice touch- she’s essentially showing us her character page. If I were to guess at her Fallout 1 or 2 stats and skills, they might be something like this: Lucy, 21 (?) year old human female, level 1 S 5 (Average) P 4 (Fair- she doesn’t notice the weirdness with the “Vault 32” residents, until it’s too late) E 6 (Good- she takes quite a beating in the first episode and is able to survive) C 7 (Very good. She’s attractive and charming, in her wide-eyed naivety) I 6 (Good- she’s at least of above average intelligence, just naive) A 7 (Very good, as evidenced by her proficiency in phys ed and gymnastics) L 5 (Average. She has had her share of terrible luck but also benefited from conveniently timed plot events, which balances out) Traits: Educated (+2 skill points per level. Results from her dabbling in many hobbies in the Vault), Good Natured (bonus to noncombatant skills, penalty to combat skills). Tagged skills: Repair, Science, Speech (totally non-combat build). Inventory: Vault 33 jumpsuit, purified bottled water, syringer, syringer darts, Vault 33 bedroll and camping tools.
@@ChromeTeck in Fallout 1, 2, 3, New Vegas and Tactics, you start with 5 in all stats and have 5 additional points to distribute at level 1, for a total of 40 points. If you take the Gifted trait, you get a total of 47, as you start with 6 in all stats, but at the cost of -10 to -20% to all starting skills and reduced skill points per level, equal to 2 x Intelligence (rather than 2 x Intelligence +5). It was only in Fallout 4 that your starting attribute points dropped significantly. And Gifted no longer gave you extra stat points. Also, stat points no longer had a descriptor, like 5= average, 6= good, 7= very good, 8= great, 9= excellent, and 10= heroic. I mentioned that I was using Fallout 1 and 2 rules for the character sheet. And because I did not give her the Gifted trait, she has the standard 40 stat points.
Just realized I made a mistake. Educated is a perk you gain on level up, not a starting trait. It still suits her but if we are going strictly by the rules, it would not be present at level 1. Could possibly substitute with Small Frame (she seems rather slender)- penalty to carry weight but +1 to Agility, bringing it up to 8 and giving her 9 Action Points (again, Fallout 1 and 2 rules). Seems fair. In a later episode, we see her making rapid shots with a 10mm pistol, at radroaches, suggesting a fairly good AP pool.

That's everything I need in a chosen Vault Dweller.

They're 'almost perfect', she hit the 9 ring. Which is absolutely amazing, but remember she's from a vault, so she's gotten her perspective on what shooting should be like from pre-war films: westerns and old military propaganda. She's probably grown up watching whatever the Fallout version of Clint Eastwood is nail every shot, every time, from absolutely insane distances.
It's definitely a reference to Fallout 1, where the children, including the "Childkiller" perk, were subsequently patched out of the game when the developers realized that there were people that mainly killed the children...
@@inkognito1534 also it's cheaper to not have 30+ bay-bees on screen. And they don't serve a purpose in the story. It's just weird to see no kids in the background even outside the vault or even in the other vaults
@cg6176 I think that's all it boils down to. I've seen some wild theory crafting from people who notice that kids are basically never seen. To me, the default state of a production is "no kids." Harder to work with, more expensive, shorter hours, harder to get good performances... And the ones that you do end up having to get better have a damn good reason to be there. They established there's kids, as extras in the classroom scene. It shouldn't really be a huge suspension of disbelief to believe there continue to be kids, just "off camera." If they lack speaking roles it makes little sense to continue to hire extras extensively through the series.
Stats are 7 in charisma and agility and 6 in endurance and intelligence the rest are average and tagged skills in repair, science and speech also has small arms skill or guns.
It looked like he was playing "Missile Command" from Atari in the early 1980's. A game where you try to shoot down nuclear missiles before they hit the surface.....
@@mrodriguez16ks Yes!! She's in the two best video game adaptations EVER. Her career is going to take off now! I'm so excited to see her future projects
I wouldn't be surprised if there is a Season 2 in which Lucy has a long lost sister who's a Raider but has the opposite S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats compared to her. Most notable about this sister is definitely the Power Fists.
Dabbles in rifles and is "not very good." Hits the 9 and 10 ring exclusively. She's better than a bunch of people I see at the range whose targets look like they were hit with a shotgun blast.
Her only experience with what shooting is supposed to be like is from pre-war films, likely westerns and military propaganda. Yeah, all four shots in the 9 is amazing, but her only reference point is probably whatever the Fallout-equivalent of Clint Eastwood is nailing every shot, every time, from 200 yards or more.
@@trianglemoebius yup. downrange discipline is one thing, but real-world exp is a whole nother thing; there's a reason you wanna do moving live fire drills as well. doubt they have room in the vault for that.
@@Navi-vm2dlThe Fnaf and Mario movie were geared to the hardcore fans, but The last of us and Fallout can be watched by anyone because of the immersive storytelling the games already had.
I don't understand why Lucy received backlash from some people in the Fallout community. She's a petty dynamic character. She's intelligent, humorous in a dorky way, though her quips never outstayed their welcome. She can handle herself but isn't too overpowered and is still vulnerable, so it's not like she's a 'Mary Sue'. And her naivety is a nice contrast to the other characters and is perfect for someone exploring the wasteland for the first time. That's probably why I really enjoyed watching her journey, seeing how she adapted to the wasteland while still maintaining the empathy that defined her.
Because they don't want women in leading roles or capable roles. Even though women are quite literally just as capable as men... Like in a post-apocalypse, gender differences doesn't really matter. If you can hold a tool, you go to work.
@@hakubestgirl kinda sounds like you're the one trying to stir shit up here, a minority (it is always a minority) absolutely did have a problem with Lucy both pre and post-release. you don't have to invent a false flag for people being assholes on the internet, they're always there.
I'm sure they are more lacking in materials so stripping a bolt by using a pipe wrench would be worse than waiting a minute until the other lady is done.
maybe the backstory is that they were looking for a fitting wrench for a while and then decided to just use the pipe wrench instead which would explain their relieved facial expressions
@@frostedbutts4340 Even in Fallout 3 the guns looked like real guns. Why they changed the Fallout 3 assault rifle model for that ugly Maxim-gun knock off is something I will never understand.
I actually appreciate that they nailed the inevitable blunt delivery of sexual stuff there. If a vault needs to last 200 years they definitely need to plan reproduction stuff in a very blunt clinical manner and drop the societal pressures on it to last
I feel like the anti-woke people are just deep down sexists and racists rather than actual intellectual critics. They became the very people who they despise.
@@imgvillasrc1608 While overwokism is definitely a problem in some media (Disney) I did see somebody call this show woke simply because the ghoul's kid in the opening of the show is mix raced and that the main character is a woman. So yeah, there are some idiots who are like that.
@@CatLover-gk8uuunfortunately those people have devolved to the point that they now see almost everything as woke, making it their whole personality. You don’t have to go far to find those channels who fixate on such things and pander to their audiences of like minded shut ins. I think the thing they try to latch on to with this show in particular is that there’s people in the cast who aren’t white, which apparently is enough for them to accuse this show of forcing diversity.
Just noticed the movie they are watching is the cowboy movie with Walton goggins character in it. lol I wonder if deep down Lucy kinda recognized the ghoul from the movies her dad showed her
She's amazing! Perfect for the role. Love her in it and this is the first time I've seen this actress. Can't wait for more of her work. Her delivery of "oki-doki" and"golde rule m.f." was priceless!
@@Im-brain-dead-but I don't think its that deep, she speaks with her native accent outside of work. The part just calls for a specific accent, and her talent shines through.

Great thanks to the creators for not messing it up. I don't know how about newcomers, but as Fallout fan I can say: bravo, you made best game series adaptation, not anyone even closer. I doubt that someone could do it any better. Waiting for S2!
She's definitely cute and adorable Especially with that voice and big eyes of hers, I find the last part pretty funny that she's trying to find somebody to marry that's not a relative.
Yes, the show is good. If you play the game you probably thinks the show is just decent, but for someone who don’t play the game its actually pretty good.
Clearly all of reeplies are fake imposters. If you played Fallout franchise, you'd see it's more realistic, horrific and depressing than this family friendly show. The trilogy and NV were at least really good. But NV is what nails with the world, dialogues and vaults. Vaults in Fallout 3 are also interesting because you find out the whole nuclear holocaust is caused by Vault themselves to use humanity as experiments.
The fact that lucy watches movies with her dad and her dad loved cooper howard as an actor, means that lucy probably knows who the ghoul (pre war) is without even knowing it.
Lucy behaves robotically and this is part of her behavior due to her lack of social fluidity, but I confess that this mechanical way of speaking ends up winning me over. She looks adorable in a completely bizarre way.
Great way to establish a character's motivations, morals and ideals all right off the rip while basically setting her entire arc for the season up in one scene. Efficiency of character building and storytelling.
she reminded me of jinx a little, then found out she is the VA for jinx in arcane, so I think there is a lot of her personality in the characters But loved this introduction, didnt make her a mary sue by throwing her into the wasteland knowing how to do things, it show's she has personality and has been trained, she's earned her skills and has flaws etc all while being humble and cheerful which makes her a million percent more likeable than most of the modern heroines
This is basically showing Lucy's S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats
It is it's brilliant and I love it

It's definitely a reference to Fallout 1, where the children, including the "Childkiller" perk, were subsequently patched out of the game when the developers realized that there were people that mainly killed the children...
😢
@@inkognito1534 also it's cheaper to not have 30+ bay-bees on screen. And they don't serve a purpose in the story.
It's just weird to see no kids in the background even outside the vault or even in the other vaults
@cg6176 I think that's all it boils down to. I've seen some wild theory crafting from people who notice that kids are basically never seen. To me, the default state of a production is "no kids." Harder to work with, more expensive, shorter hours, harder to get good performances... And the ones that you do end up having to get better have a damn good reason to be there. They established there's kids, as extras in the classroom scene. It shouldn't really be a huge suspension of disbelief to believe there continue to be kids, just "off camera." If they lack speaking roles it makes little sense to continue to hire extras extensively through the series.
Deleting the children out of the narrative is a meta joke
She's a Charisma-Strength build lol
Stats are 7 in charisma and agility and 6 in endurance and intelligence the rest are average and tagged skills in repair, science and speech also has small arms skill or guns.
@@themagnus2919 IDK... she did get that tap out pretty damn quick against a full-grown man
yeah very awesome
so where is her ass?
@@jonahmiller5881 Yeah but you don't really need a lot of strength for that, form and technique will get you a lot further than raw muscle.

I JUST LOVE HER.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is a Season 2 in which Lucy has a long lost sister who's a Raider but has the opposite S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats compared to her. Most notable about this sister is definitely the Power Fists.

@@creativeyoutubeaccountname1813 You don't like her?
Working reproductive organs is a huge plus for me personally
Ella was such a great actor and a fantastic choice for this role, they really nailed the casting.
'We have rules about that for a reason!'
I suspect she got a talking to in the past..
The apocolypse don't deserve her.
She's so cute it's ridiculous. Her eyes are so amazing.
Lucy: “And we have rules about that for a reason.”
The others: “Can’t argue with that.”
Love her character and loved the show….
Okie Dokie
She is so adorable. Talk about the perfect casting, and great writing. Then there’s her eyes.
Focus on ethics. Lol
It's insane that's she's English.
I was surprised when I found that out too! She does a really good American accent.
Dabbles in rifles and is "not very good."
Hits the 9 and 10 ring exclusively.
She's better than a bunch of people I see at the range whose targets look like they were hit with a shotgun blast.
Her only experience with what shooting is supposed to be like is from pre-war films, likely westerns and military propaganda. Yeah, all four shots in the 9 is amazing, but her only reference point is probably whatever the Fallout-equivalent of Clint Eastwood is nailing every shot, every time, from 200 yards or more.
@@trianglemoebius yup. downrange discipline is one thing, but real-world exp is a whole nother thing; there's a reason you wanna do moving live fire drills as well. doubt they have room in the vault for that.
@@trianglemoebius Said equivalent would be Cooper Howard, possibly, which will interesting when she realises she's actually met him.
good RNG :D
@@trianglemoebiusfour shots in a five inch ring with a shoulderable weapon at 25 yards is pretty easy. Harder with a pistol
She’s cute I like her so naïve in the beginning…
Love how the dad is watching coops old movies
Bruh I can't be the only one who has a crush on her
you are not bro
Those eyes
never noticed until now that the movie they're watching is one of Cooper's westerns (the Ghoul)

dont forget her tagged skill of Gun,Unarmed, Melee and Repair skills.
All characters have perception, endurance, strength, agility, and intelligence, as well as endurance and perception.
The whole combo
Her luck and charisma tho

Video game adaptions are killing it. The Last of Us, Super Mario Bros, Five Nights at Freddy's, Fallout, even Halo Season 2 was an improvement.
Also Castlevania 🙂
Also twisted metal, but fnaf and mario weren't good tbh.
@@Navi-vm2dlThe Fnaf and Mario movie were geared to the hardcore fans, but The last of us and Fallout can be watched by anyone because of the immersive storytelling the games already had.
@@Navi-vm2dlBut at least we are getting adaptations that stick to the source unlike the Resident Evil movies lol.
@@Coffeeholic06 adaptations can stick to source material and be well written though.
I really like her
she's wonderful.
This is a hell of a lot better than another video game show involving a very large man and his helmet.
I don't remember DooM having a TV series...
Is there one other than Halo?
I don't understand why Lucy received backlash from some people in the Fallout community. She's a petty dynamic character. She's intelligent, humorous in a dorky way, though her quips never outstayed their welcome. She can handle herself but isn't too overpowered and is still vulnerable, so it's not like she's a 'Mary Sue'. And her naivety is a nice contrast to the other characters and is perfect for someone exploring the wasteland for the first time. That's probably why I really enjoyed watching her journey, seeing how she adapted to the wasteland while still maintaining the empathy that defined her.
Some are just out to roleplay a battle against woke conspiracy. If they don't see woke everywhere then they'll stop feeling persecuted.
Because they don't want women in leading roles or capable roles. Even though women are quite literally just as capable as men... Like in a post-apocalypse, gender differences doesn't really matter. If you can hold a tool, you go to work.
@@hakubestgirl kinda sounds like you're the one trying to stir shit up here, a minority (it is always a minority) absolutely did have a problem with Lucy both pre and post-release. you don't have to invent a false flag for people being assholes on the internet, they're always there.
So much copium👆😂😂😂😂
Any of yall born after 2000 only know woke. You've been institutionalized by the media and academics as they shape your opinions for you.

She's truly a lucky girl.
I have never been so inclined to sign up for a new streaming service. This show looks so appealing for all the clips I have watched. I’m intrigued!
she tightened a bolt.... with a pipe wrench. and dont say they didnt have wrenches since the lady next to her proves you wrong.
Maybe they only have a few of each kind of tool.
@@LordEquinox123 Than wait until its free to use it?
I'm sure they are more lacking in materials so stripping a bolt by using a pipe wrench would be worse than waiting a minute until the other lady is done.
Who the fuck cares
maybe the backstory is that they were looking for a fitting wrench for a while and then decided to just use the pipe wrench instead which would explain their relieved facial expressions
She picked Good Natured and Skilled.
Quite a safe option, if you're playing Hardcore.
Jinx and Lucy, Ella Purnell's getting some nice roles
I love the Stirling sub machine guns, they look very cool. They were also the basis for the Stormtroopers blasters in Star Wars
Yeah I wish Fallout went back to real world gun models, Bethesda's models are ugly and stupid looking.
@@frostedbutts4340 Even in Fallout 3 the guns looked like real guns. Why they changed the Fallout 3 assault rifle model for that ugly Maxim-gun knock off is something I will never understand.
I actually appreciate that they nailed the inevitable blunt delivery of sexual stuff there. If a vault needs to last 200 years they definitely need to plan reproduction stuff in a very blunt clinical manner and drop the societal pressures on it to last
Ok
@@The_Punisher The Punisher
@@miguelpadeiro762 LOL
nobody asked
The bluntness of it was hilarious
This show was amazing! I can't wait for Season 2!
Same!
And people still have the nerve to call her a Mary Sue
The only people who would do that now after the show came out is those who haven't seen it. She is like the reverse Rey, she is FAR from a Mary Sue.
I feel like the anti-woke people are just deep down sexists and racists rather than actual intellectual critics.
They became the very people who they despise.
@@imgvillasrc1608 While overwokism is definitely a problem in some media (Disney) I did see somebody call this show woke simply because the ghoul's kid in the opening of the show is mix raced and that the main character is a woman. So yeah, there are some idiots who are like that.
@@CatLover-gk8uuunfortunately those people have devolved to the point that they now see almost everything as woke, making it their whole personality. You don’t have to go far to find those channels who fixate on such things and pander to their audiences of like minded shut ins. I think the thing they try to latch on to with this show in particular is that there’s people in the cast who aren’t white, which apparently is enough for them to accuse this show of forcing diversity.
Are they, because this is the first that I'm hearing about it.
Just noticed the movie they are watching is the cowboy movie with Walton goggins character in it.
lol I wonder if deep down Lucy kinda recognized the ghoul from the movies her dad showed her
I would totally marry lucy

"I'm not very good at riflery"

TV logic. Anything worse than a bullseye is assumed by casual viewers to be: "not good."
@@Former_Halo_Fan it’s a joke. She’s being humble
She's amazing! Perfect for the role. Love her in it and this is the first time I've seen this actress. Can't wait for more of her work. Her delivery of "oki-doki" and"golde rule m.f." was priceless!
this scene is so good. Loved every second of this heck, loved every episode.
im so proud that the show did the game justice and more! 10/10
Her voice sounds so much like Jinx here! She’s such a good actress 🩷💙
She and her dad are watching Cooper Howard’s western film on tv, foreshadowing Hank’s connection to him
The way it was edited and paced reminded me a lot of the Nicolas Angel introduction in Hot Fuzz.
She’s very okey dokey
Its amazing how well a british actor can play an american accent
It's almost like the British might be stealthily occupying America whilst pretending to be Americans.
She played jinx and was batista’s daughter in army of the dead
They wanna be different so bad they have to keep up the accent
@@Im-brain-dead-but I don't think its that deep, she speaks with her native accent outside of work. The part just calls for a specific accent, and her talent shines through.
@@Im-brain-dead-but nah what 💀 broksi that is THEIR accent, just like there is american accent, it's easier for brits to do an american accent bc it is easier, british accent is harder. They don wanna be diff, the language comes from them, they ARE diff and so is their accent, broksi said if you're good at this, you're pretending to do the other thing even if you spoke that accent since your whole life. im aussie and can speak british accent well, now what im tryna be diff by speaking an aussie accent bc i can speak british accent well? lmao bitter american istg
Great thanks to the creators for not messing it up.
I don't know how about newcomers, but as Fallout fan I can say: bravo, you made best game series adaptation, not anyone even closer. I doubt that someone could do it any better.
Waiting for S2!
People still have the audacity to call her a mary sue 😂
I haven't seen anyone call her a Mary Sue
She got her ass handed to her multiple times. How on God's green earth would she be a mary sue?
no fucking way she's a mary sue the first 3 episodes are dedicated to breaking her worldview and corrupting her morals
Whoever called her that
1. Has no idea about the game
2. Has not seen the show
3. Did not pay atention
@@mmclaurin8035how you all can be so coward
I'm surprised how good this show is.
She's definitely cute and adorable Especially with that voice and big eyes of hers, I find the last part pretty funny that she's trying to find somebody to marry that's not a relative.
I'm so happy that I'm not the only one seeing the characters having different builds in the from the game lmao.
Great writing, this show is a perfect example of what makes good character development for a series. Taking notes!
Two things:
- The show looks quite faithful to the source material. Should I give it a try?
- What a beautiful woman.
Yes, the show is good. If you play the game you probably thinks the show is just decent, but for someone who don’t play the game its actually pretty good.
It's super faithful to the source material I ended up binging the whole season, lol super good show!
It was clearly made with love for the source material and I've enjoyed the first three episodes so far.
Thank y‘all very much. I will give it a shot then.
Clearly all of reeplies are fake imposters.
If you played Fallout franchise, you'd see it's more realistic, horrific and depressing than this family friendly show.
The trilogy and NV were at least really good.
But NV is what nails with the world, dialogues and vaults.
Vaults in Fallout 3 are also interesting because you find out the whole nuclear holocaust is caused by Vault themselves to use humanity as experiments.
The fact that lucy watches movies with her dad and her dad loved cooper howard as an actor, means that lucy probably knows who the ghoul (pre war) is without even knowing it.
I like her charisma and the pleasant positivity with which she gives her report.
Shes so pretty.
Real🤤🤤
I'd be damned if I'm in a Fallout Shelter with Lucious's mother
Lucy behaves robotically and this is part of her behavior due to her lack of social fluidity, but I confess that this mechanical way of speaking ends up winning me over. She looks adorable in a completely bizarre way.
Great way to establish a character's motivations, morals and ideals all right off the rip while basically setting her entire arc for the season up in one scene. Efficiency of character building and storytelling.
1:04 Had no idea Zach Cherry was in this show, lol. He was famous for telling Spider-Man to do a flip! 😁
Watch Severance if you haven't already!
and told shang chi to fight
Hi ket keep up the amazing work I hope you have a great day
Thank you Greekgamer, you too!
No problem at all and of course
She is so good in this show. One of the best female character Ive ever seen in the the series. So well writen
the scene with Coop was great and all, but this montage here sold me completely
you can tell people that love the games made this
She is the perfect actress to play Elizabeth Comstock if they decide to do a Bioshock Infinite series
Ooh good shout, let's hope so, we already know she looks good in blue 😸
she reminded me of jinx a little, then found out she is the VA for jinx in arcane, so I think there is a lot of her personality in the characters
But loved this introduction, didnt make her a mary sue by throwing her into the wasteland knowing how to do things, it show's she has personality and has been trained, she's earned her skills and has flaws etc all while being humble and cheerful which makes her a million percent more likeable than most of the modern heroines
She's so sweet
I'm watching it to make Lucy in fallout 4. This is great to se what her S, P, I, and A will be. For E, I and L you have to watch the whole show.
