I'd say the enclave had sites all over the states in order to survive even an all-out destruction campaign or bombing/war and as with life there's most likely factions within the enclave working toward their own ends so wilzig probably got a message from moldaver or even contacted her after he was secretly put to it by an enclav faction.I think it's gonna be awesome to see what the brotherhood do now they have unlimited power eh! There's alot of potential tech that they've accumulated that they can now use and develop.
Who won Vegas?
Will we see or hear from/about characters or factions from the previous fallout titles? The vault dweller, the chosen one, the lone wanderer, the sole survivor, Talon Company, The Gunners and their unseen but heard Colonel Cypress, and/or many of the companions from all games?
@@killerbee1974 This is a big one - was it Caesar's Legions, the NCR, Mr. House himself? Or none of the above? We will see in Season 2 what the 'true' ending of New Vegas will be...
Q) Why do they have three vaults linked which is not lore?
Q) How does he avoid auto tracking machine gun 30 feet away
Q) How does medicines work
ALL) Deus Ex Machina
Its always the answer!
Norm is going to start unplugging pods until he is let out.. he's a g
Norm on the sleeper arc. Guy is going to somehow have to relay this info to her sister, not to mention the water chip needs to be replaced. Norm has perception and intelligence maxed out. First one to have suspicions about everything that's going on, hacked the terminal in one shot.
Yeah, Norm is kinda S.P.E.C.I.A.L. 😁 feels like a lot of points went into Perception and Intelligence with zero Strength and Charisma 😝
Exactly what I thought
The robot was stuck with a broom. He has a room full of hostages.....
@@domentavcar80 absolutely, his speech checks with chet weren't working lmaoo
His daughter running Vault Tec would be an epic twist
Except that’s pretty similar to the plot of Fallout 4.
@@rhinoburger I was thinking that too. But then again most of Season 1 is Lucy searching the wastelands for her father which is more or less Fallout 3.
I was thinking his family could be in Vault 31 since his wife mentioned they would be overseeing other vaults, but 31 could just be Bud’s Buds
@@AzureRook Yeah, I thinks its heavily implied Bud's Vault 31 is for his staff only.
@@AzureRook If what you're saying are about Cooper's wife, it's unlikely. Her name wasn't on Bud's Buds list, and Bud's Buds are only for junior executives. From what I remember, Bud and Barb sat side by side on the meeting with other corpos, so she's more likely running a bigger game here, or assigned in other vault of her own choice.
I think Cooper raced to Barbara’s vault and dropped his daughter off but he couldn’t get in himself
Or even refused to go in, given what he'd learned, but dropped his daughter off, cos better to be with her mom in a possibly-evil vault than certain death in the Wasteland. Hence him being exposed to the radiation and turning ghoul.
That would be the fastest horse in the world to outrun all those nukes.
@@FlamingoKicker he wouldn't have to outrun the nukes, just put her in before she was exposed to too much Fallout. The nukes didn't look to have a massive area of effect, you can survive relatively close to a nuke if the fireball and blast wave don't kill you.
But then why would he be looking for his wife and daughter if he knew what vault they were in ?
Then he would know where the wife and child's at.
Why didn't Hank recognize Moldaver when she shows up (maybe like Superman she took off her glasses so nobody could tell it was her?) and why did nobody's pip boys register any surface radiation on the Raiders until very late in the evening when they started slaughtering everyone?
I think the answer to the 2nd one is just for storytelling purposes. They couldn't have had their slow-mo ultra-brutal massacre like they did if everyone was alerted to the reveal when they opened the vault door. Nothing else really makes sense to me. You can't really hide that sorta thing from a rad detector without shielding, and if they somehow decontaminated, that'd be permanent, not something that would flare up later.
THIS!! I was wondering. If there was a huge hullabaloo about arranging Lucy with someone, why wouldn't Hank make VERY sure that it was someone he trusted? Also why wouldn't he know about everyone from Vault 32 being murdered 2 years ago? Was someone tricking him through chat messages?
@@alisondorantes-garcia5751 Since Stephanie was in that group, I wonder if all of those selected were also from 31? But why would so many of the exec trainees come over at the same time? I am not sure I understand that thinking. Although they had more than one when Hank and Betty were both there. Betty seems a bit older than Hank. Maybe women don't get promoted as much as men in the Fallout world as in our own.
I'm figuring Moldaver was one of Bud's Buds. Otherwise Hank would have known she wasn't the real 32 Overseer at the wedding.
Could be. She did work for vault tec before. But were their references to their names on the terminals for the vault 32? If so he would have known who the overseer was supposed to be too.
Nice catch, but maybe Hank didn't knew all of his co-workers (there were a lot of pods on 31). There's also the possibility that Hank just assumed she was elected despite not being from 31, after all that blight could've killed all the people who where from 31
@@eduardoarmenta9232my understanding was all the overseers are from vault 31. The overseer after Hank I think was originally from vault 31 and the elected overseer for the new dwellers going into 32 was also originally from 31 if I remember correctly
The whole vault 31,32,33 thing is nothing more than a big plot hole currently so no point trying to make sense of it anymore than you would trying to make sense of fallout 4 ,just have to accept it unless something changes next season.
Who cleaned up vault 32 overnight if 31 are all in stasis? Why did nobody in 33 not notice a whole set of new and very battered faces they had never seen before and an absence of all those they had seen before? So many plot holes ,best not to dwell on it (no pun intended)
She would've had the code to her fusion cause Bud Atkins is a kinda stupid but not that stupid to give moldever the code to cold fusion or save her she almost put Vtec out of buisness
Who cleaned up vault 32? Seems like it was done pretty fast and only a few would be allowed to see what actually happened in there.
Just push the napalm button, then spray it down with abraxo cleaner from the fire sprinklers.
Robots?
We don’t know how many vault 31 people are in 33. Unless they only sent a 31 person over every 20 years.
Robots? Possibly but unlikely as they would have been used prior, including when cleaning up the most recent "Moldavir" incident. Also we do know a lot of who has come out of 31 because Norm clearly accessed the logs and showed how many vault tech employees have been slowly and yet seemingly calculated to hold each position of overseer.
@@rhinoburger It's most likely robots. Even if a good amount of people were part of vault 33, there's no way they all can leave and go clean without anyone noticing especially with Norm already being aware of it.
I also don't think they are sending a person every 20 years. Stephanie Harper (New overseer of vault 32) is originally from vault 31. I think the Davey (the old guy with a mustache) is from vault 31. Besides stephanie, davey, and Betty, i don't think anyone else is from vault 31. It could just be that they are timing it, so the person from vault 31 has time to become part of vault 33 before they are made overseer. It would be weird if they send someone from vault 31 and make them overseer without several years of being part of the vault.
Sorry if i went on a tangent, i'm just intrigued with the lore behind vaults and fallout in general.
Wish we could’ve seen more backstory on the enclave scientists who trained and raised Dogmeat. The intro of that episode was interesting
I think when vault 32 found out about vault 31. They released some kind of toxic gas into the vault 32 to make them all go crazy.
The way some of the bodies were positioned, it seems like when Vault 32 was rioting, either Bud or Vault 32's overseer pumped in a odorless nerve gas, that killed everyone instantly in their place. The bodies positioned trying to get into Vault 31, and the two dead bodies strangling themselves gives off the impression they all died at the same time, instantly.
I think something similar happened as well, there is more behind the death of those in Vault 32 than what we saw. I could see some of them falling into the behavior exhibited by the “raiders”, wanting to lash out at folks who could have realized something was going on but kept their head in the sands - but there has to be more.
@@TheRunningLeopard There was definitely more to the deaths behind the people of Vault 32, the person killed in the window was likely killed in the riots. Its likely the two people choking eachother was a Vault 31 resident and a Vault 32 resident. However, again its the way the bodies were positioned at the time of death that leads me to believe the survivors were all killed, instantly at the same time. The two skeletons again with their hands around each others throats indicates they both died at the same time from something other then strangulation, because if someone was strangled to death, there likely wouldn't be a body of the killer next to the victim. Now thinking about it, it could also be possible either Bud or Vault 32's overseer merely shut off all the air in the vault and the survivors just suffocated.
I'm thinking 31 turned off the water supply and shut out the food supply and everyone knew death was coming, so they turned on each and/or committed suicide as apposed to starving and dehydration.
They made some hints in the show comparing the vault dwellers to rats, and saying that they'll fight over food and control for survival. I think they died killing eachother, and the survivors guilt-ridden finished themselves off or ran out of food and decided to. There was also the marking on the wall "we know what you did" or something like that, so they might have learned vault-tec were responsible for the bombs dropping.
"It looks like it effects ghouls differently since it kept Cooper going longer than the other one" .....because he ran out. He ran out of the vials. Not because they are effected differently. He ran out. You even put it in the clip "you don't have any vials do ya?"
Yep, Cooper, being more ruthless and a bounty hunter, has been successful enough to get the vials he's needed.
Exactly, Cooper even says he’s always been good at making money, in other words, he’s always been good at affording vials.
My biggest question is why didn't Maximus just tell everyone the (half) truth?
"A Yao Guai killed Titus so I took the armour to carry on the mission. The radio was damaged so I couldn't call in."
You can leave out the fact you let him bleed out, then Thaddeus doesn't steal the FC and you don't risk death with the Brotherhood.
They would have sent a kill squad for sure. The radio operator was the same guy Max handed the boot to with the razor in it (effectively exposing himself if he had done it), and he was the first one that other guy blamed. There would be no believing him at that point.
@@drk_hrs_of23 I get why he didn't say it to the radio operator, what I meant was say that the Yao Guai killed Titus to Thaddeus instead of "Lets get our story straight" and tell the same to the Elder once he got back to the BoS with the fake head.
He didn’t put enough points into charisma.
He can’t tell the truth after lying already and he’s an idiot savant so he couldn’t think of a less entangling lie in the first place…
Also I think it would probably look bad if the people closest to him keep getting injured/killed, once is just a suspicious accident but twice is a pattern emerging…
The lack of effective communication is a key to push forward the stories. That's like the number 3 or 4 rule in Hollywood
Moldaver said Hank "burned down" Shady Sands because his wife took the kids there to live.
Maximus was there when it happened and in the aftermath. It's highly likely that Lucy and Maximus crossed paths while there as kids.
How Cooper was separated from his daughter....
Cooper is divorced from Barb(one of the dads that was taking pictures of him at the birthday party mentions alimony) so I think after they escaped he brought his daughter to Barb, but some for some reason didn't get to go with them to wherever Barb and his daughter went.
I think the daughter that was with him is a synth, and his daughter and ex wife are already in a vault
@trugman1 lifelike synths weren't a thing at that point to my knowledge.
remember barb only had a spot in the vault because it was one of the benefits her job provided her, so if your theory is correct Cooper didn't get in because they were divorced. in real life job benefits only extend to your children and spouse not your ex spouse. safe to say vault tec job benefits work the same way.
@@michaelshawii6722 ah didn’t realise that - not really into the lore of it all. Just seemed strange his daughter was there with him when the first bombs fell
Also, LA appears to have been bombed in the afternoon. 9:42am on the East Coast and roughly 2 hours after is when the bombs started and finally ended.
6:42am to 8:42am is not checking out. A birthday party, doing cake, the entertainment is finishing up, the entertainment isn't picking his daughter up from a slumber party as she knows cake isn't a given like it is for a guest, and the sun's position all say afternoon.
I still can't say for the rest, but LA seems to have been Vault Tec just to finish the job, but so late because Barb's daughter needed to be located first. I doubt he made it to a vault. Vault Tec ambushed him.
Wasn't it the chosen one that destroyed the enclave and not the vault dweller?
it was both, choosen kill the prez, then the 101 vault character kills the "military" wing that was left over the
I think they're referring yo tge Vault Dweller from Vault 13.
@@Hotshots2890 I think they are referring to the Vault Dweller from Vault 13.
@@jeffreynagy7112 the vault dweller from 13 didn't do anything in FO1, it was his son(grandson) in F02 which takes on the enclave, then 101 you kill the Colonel in DC which basically ends them
And from the show …. The Enclave isn’t gone !!! Long Live the Enclave !!!
You should have ended with “Okey-dokey!” 😜
Norm is crying in the thumbnail because stuck at the final boss in the final dungeon an he's underleveled. Dude didn't want to do any sidequets, and went straight to the end.
Why was Moldovar portrayed as a sympathetic villain at the end when the show started with her raiders slaughtering dozens of people?
revenge i would think.
Yup, that was just garbage.
They were scatty raiders out to slaughter people and BING turned into the NCR.
You’re applying our world’s morals to theirs and it isnt apples to apples
@@jonnyosta True...
They're still surface dwellers. It's not like that fact suddenly changed in the ending, it's just that we're more accustomed to it.
Barb was probably just a mouthpiece, there was a figure in the shadows during that scene, one probably not as charismatic or as comely as Barb.
Just knowing the plan makes her evil, and Coop's decision once he finds her interesting. Coop probably got Janey to Barb early after the bomb, pumped full of rad-away and put on ice.
I was under the impression that Wilzig had always been Muldever's inside man to continue her work on cold fusion. Which is why he waited for Hank to be captured before he made a break for it.
At least, that's what all the evidence points to.
Same here.
Makes sense. No point in risking your neck if you don’t have the one guy with the codes to make it possible. Even if he made it to Muldaver, without Hank, the wasteland would have just descended upon the NCR until someone could collect the bounty on Wilzig. The only way he could proceed is for him to wait until Hank is captured.
Oh right! Hank had the codes. So Moldaver needed one of Bud's Buddies first (assuming they all had the codes, or maybe specifically just Hank did). Cold Fusion is useless unless you have the tech AND the unlock code.
@@ciaranirvine If only Moldaver knew when the first Fallout game was released.
I'm guessing Wilzig and Moldaver worked together at some point, probably pre-war if I had to guess, and that's how he was able to finish her research, build a prototype, and also how he knows so much about the vaults and stuff.
Moldaver said vaultec kept buying every company she owned/worked at, in order to basically stop her from finishing her project.
My theory is she ended up going to work for one of the other big companies shown in that meeting at vaultec, under a different name. Or got introduced to someone with connections to the pre-war enclave. And that's how she met Wilzig and how her or they managed to get preserved in cryo.
If Hank had met Moldaver when he went after and killed his wife, how did he not recognize her when she pretended to be the overseer of 32?
My guess is he never actually met Moldaver. But generally speaking, Anyone from Vault 31 failed miserably at noticing the raiders' mannerisms, scars, etc.
Possibly he was so guilt ridden, that he just wanted to see, what happens. I could be wrong of course. Another possibility is, that he did not see any threat from her, thinking, she could not do enough to harm the Vault
Also, how does he not realize she isn't one of Bud's Buds? Even if he didn't meet her in Shady Sands. And Steph's husband Bert is from 32. How does he not realize these aren't the residents?
@@jnecaise Good questions. In my mind he just did not catch it. Had to be some kind of communications failure at some point, though. Vault 32 sat a long time without any action being taken.
@@jnecaise it was supposed to be that she was elected as overseer because of an emergency due to their crops failing and the previous overseer dying.
So Hank would have assumed that Vault 31 hadn't sent a "bud" to 32 to replace the old overseer and why a regular person was elected as overseer.
I think Maximus might try to head back to Lucy’s vault anyway while cooper and Lucy look for after her dad. Then we’ll get the most awkward and possibility funniest moments when Maximus meets Norman 😂
I think the end of season 2 will be Ron Perlman stepping out of the shadows as the big bad of Vault tec with the spine chilling line "remember coop....war....never changes"
I can only pray that happens!
Ron Perlman would be such a great addition to a great cast! It seemed to have to be the "big Bad" that Barb looked up to in that shadowy highest level of the conference room viewing area. It was only then that she started discussing their final solution for most of humanity.
That scene and line, all on its own, would win awards. Wouldn’t need Perlman to even have other lines
My question is who cleaned up all of Vault 32 for resettlement day? Vault 33's population was decimated by the raiders and most of the people involved in Vault 31 are still in cryogenic suspension. The amount of time, manpower and work needed to clean up Vault 32 completely to show no evidence of anything happening would’ve been a massive undertaking. My only thought would be robots.
Update: My only other theory is there were allot more Vault 31 people in Vault 33 then were led to believe, and they may have went over the cleaned up the evidence.
Play Fallout 1 and 2 to get the real history.
I was thinking robots, as well.
If it is robots, then where did they come from? Vault 31 only showed one robot along with the frozen vault-tec managers.
@@shinigami146 there could be a "janitorial" closet, so to speak. A room full of Mr Handy type robots. The overseer could just order a command and the robots would get to it.
We're all guessing cleaning bots or slavers from cryopods
8:00 she didn’t work for vault tech she had her own company where she came up with all types of genius inventions, one of which being the artifact, this is why she knows so much about it she created it. Then vault tech bought the company she works for along with all the research, she knew how to make cryo chambers, she knew the bombs we’re coming she also knew how to make infinite energy it’s pretty obvious she just made another cryo chamber for herself possibly even for the other members of that group
Moldaver did not discover Shady Sands. Former residents of Vault 15 did.
As for her forces? Likely people who want revenge for Shady Sands. NCR covered a lot of land at their apex and spread all around. Likely some stayed behind with her.
@ryanbennett2806 We don't know how Moldaver survived, so it's possible that, if she is a founder of Shady Sands, she hid out in Vault 15.
@@GabrielSteele5139 We know who founded Shady Sands (their first leader) and it was sure as heck not Moldaver.
How did Hank/Henry get a bomb to drop on Shady Sands? And what will Dogmeat do now that no one is carrying around Wilzig’s head?
Dogmeats free now. She's going to go on an adventure and have puppies...
He probably ordered the nuke and it was launched from Vault Tec HQ. He’s only a small part of management.
Vault-Tec dropped the initial bombs, so they probably had more hidden in the vaults in case they needed to use them again (on enemy settlements or to start over again if something went wrong with a settlement they were overseeing).
They ultimately wanted control of the world (monopoly), but needed other companies to invest to help them get there (capitalism).
The ghoul backstory confirms something big and that is that vault tech did not drop the first bomb. I say this because you really think that cooper's wife would allow her daughter to go with her father that day if she knew the bombs were gonna be dropped. Part of me thinks that his backstory might be false. The part that I believe he is miss remembering is that his daughter was with him that day. I say this because it doesn't make sense that his daughter is still alive with his ex wife but he doesn't know where they are. He would have had to hand his daughter to the mother so that they can get in the vault. A good plot twist would be that Moldova met up with him and took his child and ex wife to a secret vault that she had. This would explain why he wants to find her again
Thank god u had nothing to do with the script 🙏🙏
I believe it may have been Vaultechs intension to drop the bombs first, but someone beat them to the punch.
@@willpayne8726 All that's really mentioned is that they were willing to do it themselves, if they had to. I don't believe they did, but whether it was China or the US, I believe they influenced the decision. It's like @R.O.T.C._SEEM said, Deb would've prepared her daughter if she knew when the bombs were to be dropped and where. Even further, if you played New Vegas, Mr. House knew they were going to be dropped but couldn't fully protect Vegas because the platinum chip was delayed. If that conference scene tells me anything, Mr. House knew they would be dropped but didn't know when or by whom. If he did, as all-knowing as he seems to be, he would have prepared a long time prior and there wouldn't have been an issue of the missing platinum chip.
I think moldaver survived by cloning herself. My theory won't have any weight till we see the casting for season 2 but based on everything she said during season 1 and the lore I remember from the game I think this would be an interesting way to bring the character back.
"Gary?!?"
She is a terrible character who needs to stay gone, but she will 100% be back. She's a "misunderstood" diverse strong woman, she will be back. She has a cult who worship her and she's magically survived this whole time. She even survived the nuke of Shady Sands.
Bruuuuh I told my friend this earlier of how she survived. It was either cryo sleep or cloning and I say cloning.
She was part of vault tec, to me its obvious that she was frozen.
She's not Vault Tech. Se says as much. They bought out her projects, and shuttered them all. Cutting her out. Her field of specialty is fusion. Cold fusion. Not Cyrogenic stasis, not cloning. She has no monetary funding. There's no explanation. Poor writing where they want you to assume. Or they suck at their own story board. Which is far, far more believable than the alternative. @f2pscaper4lyfe93
@@G2Bryce "She's a "misunderstood" diverse strong woman" oh come on dude. Keep that to the colored hair ones.
If the enclave poke their head out, they will get ripped apart by everyone. They're weak and not at all widespread anymore. The remnants of the enclave in NV were so afraid of being found out they were enclave that they kept it hidden. It didn't even seem like the enclave had much forces other than a mark I turret and not even a person in their power armor. Just a few guys with helmets and a laser rifle... Yeah they're weak. So they'd have to contract out to get Wilzig. Wilzigs history could be interesting though, he used a pipboy, knew the vaults very well.
I'm guessing Wilzig and Moldaver worked together at some point, probably pre-war if I had to guess, and that's how he was able to finish her research, build a prototype, and also how he knows so much about the vaults and stuff.

Have just met the Enclave in F76.
Didn’t play it all the way through, but wasn’t the enclave still pretty stout in F3?
One that occurred to me concerning the Goul is when the Bubba Gump shrimp guy digs up the Goul he says "There a big bounty come up, back from where you from, California." Where the hell were they when they dug him up? His wording suggests they are not in California. When the guard took the baby leg to the chest the location looked like (don't laugh, I know it sounds ridiculous)THE CASTLE. Would have been a helluva walk from the Commonwealth to the west coast but that is what the location reminded me of.
Nevada area in the map of fallout shady sands is border of Cali and Nevada.
@@Adrian-om9vn for sure the timeline means it was somewhere close, wish they would have subtitled that part. The area around them was dark but look kinda green too.
Mexico. Don Pedro and the clothing implies Mexico
@@iloveyourunclebob I bet you nailed it! Seems totally logical.
Lmao I didn't realize that was Bubba!
I just finished the show and I’m very familiar with the games this plot was very insane all the Fallout Game Vaults were big human experiments but I think this is the first time that a Specific Vault is a master mind behind it all, it answers all of my questions back then like when I was younger “Why would they do human experiments, how does it benefit them if pre war people are dead”
Maybe it is a specific vector of ghoulification. Harold didn't need any meds to avoid going feral, but he had a tree growing out of his head. so who knows.
7:40 - the founder of Shady Sands? What?!
Aradesh is the Founder of Shady Sands in Fallout 1.
I mean tbf does he ever confirm he founded it and wasn't just the leader? But either way it's definitely not moldaver lmfao.
I think the Ghoul Vials are a way to STOP a ghoul from going feral, and if they aren't able to dose, they go feral, in which case the vials only SLOW the process down.
if hes been a ghoul for 200 years obviously it STOPS the process until he runs out
It's literally Jet. It's no more complicated than Jet... or for lack of a better term "Meth" stops their brain turning somehow.
Ghouls have been addicted to Jet for ages. It was assumed it stops them feeling pain from their condition. And they got addicted that way.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious
@@BrettForPres You're welcome!
Like methadone
I hope that Maximus ends up reforming the West Coast Brotherhood of Steel, as opposed to simply turning against them. It would be a waste to see his character turn into Finn from Star Wars. And the best part about the Brotherhood as an organization is the constant tug-of-war between its two separate ideologies of preserving technology and helping people.
You misunderstand the the one faction of the Brotherhoods idea in regards to technology devices. They hoard tech in order to keep it away from people so they don't misuse it not to preserve it. They are not looking for the easy tech stuff like laser pistols and the like they want the worst things the government, Vault-tec, the conclave and the Institute came up with in order to bury it. The problem is they have done and continue to do evil things in order to make this happen. Witness the attack on the telescope dome in the series. They were willing to kill everyone there just to get that power chip. Despite the fact that it was beneficial technology. The other faction the one that wishes to directly help people is continually shut down by the tech gathering faction. This has led to a few splinter groups in the game series peeling off from the brotherhood. The helping people faction got the upper hand in Washington and preserved and protected the water purification plant and the distribution of the water as well as shutting down the Conclave (if you played it that way.)
I think the Vault 32 mystery is solved. They learned of the plan, and those that were from 31 were attacked by the native 32 dwellers.
Vault 31 doesn't have dwellers to be attacked, they are all in pods, 31 isn't a vault like 32 & 33
@@NERDLYFE-es9ef They do have dwellers to be attacked. They have the many 31 dwellers that were thawed out and layered into the other two vaults. I think you missed the entire point of that story…
@@NERDLYFE-es9ef He means the Vault 31 dwellers that were thawed and sent to oversee Vault 32.
Moldaver is confirmed for season 2. So we will get more backstory. My thoughts are she worked for vault tec but, had a side group as a resistance leader.
Vault Tech = The Enclave
I have heard this speculated for many years, at least to how deep the link is, if there is one. I am thinking it's possible they are just one in the same. As we saw in this show, Vault Tech planned to preserves their own lives, much like The Enclave.
My theory is that Cooper took his daughter to the vault where her Mother was at before taking off to wherever.
I'm guessing he started an argument about her nukes going off around them so she storms off with their kid
Then he'd know where they are
Ok... my question is this... If Muldaver is the leader of a NCR cell... why did she use waste landers to infiltrate 32... and then play along with the marriage ruse? She had the pip boy... guns... and trained soldiers at her command. If the idea was to rush 32 it would have been a much more reliable crew to run with. Then after discovering 32 was empty all they had to do was get 33 to open the doors (if the pip boy wouldn't have opened it the same way) then nabbed McClain as soon as they did. Did they all just really want cake?
The raider eating cake while rampaging is the best thing about that scene.
Why are you ASSuming those raiders were never veteran rangers or some shit??
My idea is she just hired a bunch of raiders because she didn't want vault 31 tracking the observatory down.
I imagine she hired raider as not to waste any more of her people and the promise of a functioning vault would appeal to the raiders as having a safe base to work from
My biggest question was when they open the vault for the wedding, why didn’t all of their wrist thingies start beeping with the detection of radiation? And couldn’t they SMELL these people who hadn’t bathed in seemingly months??
What happens with squire thaddeus? Why didn't overseer Maclean not realize that Moldaver was not from vault 31 at the beginning? Are we going to see the quack doctor again?
The chicken lover?
@@domri4203 yeah lol
Thaddeus and quack doctor are obviously things for the new season we have no answer to yet.
But the moldaver McLean overseer thing we do. They say in ep 1 that vault 32 had a new overseer elected. Nowhere it says that the overseer always has to be from 31.
Obviously it's the preferred choice from the experiments pov but remember that voting slogan about vault 31. A method to move public opineon perhaps but it implies in peace times perhaps it is possible for the population of a vault to select a non 31 overseer.
Could even be a desirable outcome from buds perspective even as he wants to breed supermanagers. What use is it if they never learn how to manage / are never able to show him that they can.
As for vote tampering: there is a limit to that if 60% of a community talks and notices they did not vote the result that happened a repeat of the vault 32 massacre might have happened.
I suspect the chicken doctor gave Thaddeus a little dose of the Forced Evolution Virus and he is gonna be a Supermutant by the end of this
@@Venator-2070 Also Vault-Tec was a huge company. There's no reason why everybody in Bud's Buddies program would actually know one another
Isn't the ghoul medicine just Rad way and Rad x . Never mention it and would be logical on keeping them sane still
Exactly
It says radaway in the IV bag going to cooper when he's buried
@@nixythepixy1029 see ya I thought it was on it and definitely my first thought seeing the bags , that it was Radaway
Why did Moldaver tell Hank he had to decide between a group of Vault dwellers or his daughter and then he just shoves Lucy in a broom closet and then leaves with Moldaver? That made no sense. He didh't choose either one. I also wonder if that small group all came over from Vault 31? Also at the end when L.A. lights up from the power supplied by the cold fusion I had to wonder how all that wiring and transformers and other power systems were still functioning after 219 years of no maintenance and how would there be liines going out from Griffith Observatory to the rest of the city to deliver the power? I doubt they will address any of this stuff but it is frustrating. Oh, they definitely should hire the architect that built Randy's Donut shop to build Vaults cause after all that time and those nukes that iconic little shop is still standing. Impressive. Everything else is dust.
They didn't even definitively kill the group that wasn't selected. Moldaver is an interesting character in that, she's okay with using brutal force and killing plenty of vaulters, but then later shows them mercy by telling them to "Do what you do best, run and hide" allowing them to live. I'm wondering if the whole Lucy finding Moldaver was always part of her plan as Moldaver pretty much encouraged her to come find her dad, probably knowing that he would crack and give up the code for her. And maybe THAT is why she made him choose, just so she could have that interaction with Lucy to setup future events.
Do you not build powerlines in fallout 4?
This is after fallout 4.
@@xspenceif Oh well, I never actually played the game. I just saw other people's videos on CZcams so, no, I am not an expert.
The Enclave wasn't wiped out in fallout 2, they were the primary antagonist of fallout 3 as well.
Moldaver is a scientist so maybe she was part of vault 4 scientist team and used one of the vault's cryopods to freeze her self or it could be a part of the vault's program to freeze some scientists. This also maybe explains how Shady Sands survivors found a refuge in vault 4.
The real question is: "Is Robert House alive?"
Pretty sure the ghoul medicine is RadAway, the iv to cooper’s grave looks the same as the RadAway the Maximus gives Lucy

I've got a theory about Cooper and the other Ghoul. When Cooper was talking to Bud, Bud talked about how time was the problem. And we're made to assume that he was working on the cryo tanks. What if they were also working on a way to lengthen the human lifespan. But since it was still in the testing phase, it had side effects. Namely, slowly turning people into Ghouls.
Maximus and his loyalty to the Brotherhood like you touched on here a little. Maximus will do anything to wear a powersuit, and has a lot of positional power by the finale. When he was saved by the person in the powersuit it was like Maximus' guardian angel. He wants the suit to fulfill his childhood dream of being a powerful savior, but will not bend to the will of the Brotherhood.
Learning the backstory about Moldaver in the end, it didn't make much sense that she was so ruthless to the people of vault 33. I mean yes, her end goal was to change the future for the better, but she set some psycho killers on those peaceful vault dwellers who where totally oblivious to the workings of the world. Uncool Moldaver!
I swear that somewhere in my FO3/NV playing, my brain wants to say its in Raul's dialogue, he talks about how Ghouls use chems to keep their brains buzzing and stop them from going feral. The context I remember is they do Psycho/Jet/Steady/Med-X/etc just to keep their cognition amplified. Almost described like how Dark Souls describes "going hollow". In Dark Souls, keep fighting, don't go hollow. In Fallout, for ghouls, keep chugging chems, stay lucid, don't go feral. The show, however, definitely makes it look like there are specific "vials" that prevent a ghoul from going feral, not just the "stay fucked up on any chem available" that I remember NV describing.
Did his wife ditch him and their daughter for a secure spot in a good vault? I didn't see her at the start.
I just finished binge-watching Fallout. It blew me away. I can't wait for Season Two.
"The Enclave's real?" says a member of the faction that went to war with them twice.
To be fair they were born after the events of fallout 3
@@Aaaaaaoo165 Yeah, but it's like being born in 1947 and thinking the Nazis were a myth.The Brotherhood have scribes, history is very important to them. You'd think even the youngest initiate would know about a war from 20 years ago.

Well Cooper and Barb clearly get divorced as the dad of the kid tells his friend when he asks how they got Cooper there, that it was “Alimony” ?? But deffo questions as to how they got separated just after the bombs fell, maybe Vault Tec stepped in somehow and took her or Barb does idk, we need some answers to that as well 🤷🏻♂️ loads of un answered questions to head into season 2 with!
When Wilzig left the Enclave, the turret gun missed him the whole way? Come on, unless it was rigged to happen that way...
Norm can threaten to destroy every cryo pod unless he is released from Vault 31.
i like the theories presented here;
ie. That cooper's daughter is in charge (after her mom)
But like what some of the theories i seen online which makes sense.
- the vials from the super duper market, were probably some kind of spinal / fluid extracted from the existing ghouls captured (that is why they have tons n tons of supplies there).
that would help maintain the sanity, and that it would be constantly available for "harvest" from fellow ghouls. Also partially explains why cooper cannibalizes the ghoul he killed, right immediately, to extend abit of the timeframe of not having any vials.
personally i have these:
- norm is definitely alive as he can threaten the brain to let him out, or find a way out. cryo pod being last resort.
- Either: cooper definitely got his daughter into a vault whereby his wife was in charge, and he himself did not manage to get in, while being irradiated and mutated into ghoul. OR
Alternative reasoning: he actually got into the vault with a cryopod, but it was sabotaged by someone, and he ended up in the wasteland irradiated and mutated. while the status of his family remain unknown. and he survived the ghoul/mutation while trying to find answers. Additional detail: his wife may or may not be in charge , as she may have been betrayed as well by vault-tec.
- vault 32, was definitely induced with a form of gas which made them hallucinate/ kill each other. This is not new, even in FO universe's vaults. So this is not much of a mystery IMO. as each vaults had their own experiments they wanted to carry out.
Why Moldaver come with Raiders and not NCR soldiers to Vault 33? It's kind of strange to go to the vault with raiders just to capture Hank. It can be done with NCR and minimal casualties
The ncr is gone. Only remnants will remain, like the Eric Estrada character.
And some of her raiders probably were ncr..
The ghoul serum is called Rad-x. It increases radiation resistance. It keeps Cooper Howard from going feral. Rog likely didn't have the means to maintain a steady supply which is why he became feral.
I don't think that's it. In Fallout 4 Nuka-world DLC, there's a ghoul npc waiting over 100 years for their friend to return after they left to find a cure for becoming feral. Since the TV show takes place 9 years after the game, that serum is probably the cure. Also, RadX is a pill.
That's kinda a genius use for Rad-X and/or Radaway, but, wouldn't it also make the ghouls' healing factor weaker since that seems to be radiation-powered but also if the radiation makes them lose their minds quicker, that could work in the show and reveal more lore in the games.
Nah.. hopefully some answers in s2
Jet or super jet
@@jampooop289 I just thought it was Jet because he was inhaling it.
I have questions too... 1. Why didn't Moldaver just take Lucy with her when she raided vault 33? 2. Moldaver goes to Vault 33, but pays 3 different people to pick up Wilzig and deliver him to her even when she and her raider band are going right past Philly?
She originally was going to take Lucy but Hank offered himself up as a replacement and Moldaver took him up on it.
@@sparkeyjames No, she was going to take Hank because he had the code. She wanted Lucy as her way of getting it from him. So, why not just take both. Bad writing.
I think in season 2 we’ll see that Barb wouldn’t let Cooper and the dog in cause she knew they’d fuck it up, (maybe they made her choose.)
Whoever her shadowy boss was is probably still in charge but I certainly hope to see her or their daughter awakened in season 2.
It’s Chekov’s Daughter.
Here's a question:- In episode 6, when The Ghoul talks to Booker, he sees a Wanted poster with Moldaver's picture on it and seems surprised/confused by it.
If Moldaver is so well-known - and The Ghoul is familiar enough with her to know Adam's two sons (S1E7) are linked with her group - how come he doesn't realise who she is AND, specifically, how come he says "That's not how I remember her" when, if anything, he should be surprised that she DOES still look the way he remembers her?
I mean the vials are pretty self-explanatory. You drink the vials and you don't go feral. We can also assume that the longer you wait to drink one, the more you will need, based on Cooper's reaction to finally getting vials when he was near death. Cooper's friend was out of vials and had likely gone quite some time without one. Vials are also expensive, based on the conversation they had and he was unable to afford them. Cooper, on the other hand, was able to keep vials around by completing his bounties and having the money to do so.
Yeah but they're totally new to the lore and it's not clear what they are, so I think it's a good question. But they'll probably never explain it.
I like how the whole corn and picnic thing is en homage to the film A Boy and his Dog, a major fallout influence
Wilzig probably knows Lucy because he knows her dad and that he has been taken by Moldaver. He could have intel on the vault if he was working with Moldaver to get in and be convincing as a vault 32 group or if the Enclave needed intel on them at all. Moldaver also know Lucy’s mum so she would know what was going on at the point they left the vault for Shady Sands which could have been shared.
10:56 The dude literally saw all of civilization fall to shit and watched the rest of humanity have to scrounge around like cockroaches to survive for 200 goddamn years.
I think literally anyone would turn into a nihilist after seeing that much awfulness for that long.
11. Why didn't the master go after vaults 31, 32, and 33, if they were in such close proximity to Shady Sands, and ultimately so close to where Los Angeles used to be?
Maybe he knew they had the capability to nuke a city so wanted to build up strength before risking that
@@MacRaibeirt possibly. I just hope season 2 answers this question.
@MacRaibeirt that might be true actually considering he was from vault 8 and a lot of his army were former vault dwellers whom might have said something
The master? The villain from the game released in 1997?
My biggest question was who and how did they clean up vault 32 so quick when the night before they were there and saw all the blood and death. But then very next day it’s perfect. So who did all the cleaning?
It could be a different vault its a back up. ... like the shell game. ?
@@rosschannells5407 nope, same vault. If you rewatch you could see how an attempt to clean up was made, like for example walls with blood splatter on them, you can see white paint just conveniently pasted over a seemingly dirty wall.
The Enclave was never fully wiped out and we see that in Fallout 3, which takes place 36 years after Fallout 2. There's also Remnants of the Enclave in Fallout 4's next Gen update.(which came out after this vid)
Moldaver was likely a Vault 32 resident and is the reason why 32 found out, she likely left and told 32 residents what happened. She probably tried to get Hank to cooperate, but he ignored her.
The one thing I wanna know is why Hank wasn't informed of what happened in Vault 32. You'd think that Bud would tell him, right? Like, when Moldaver came he should've known that it wasn't the actual dwellers if they were all dead.
I think Cooper’s family is in Vault 31. Betty and Hank both ended up there. Betty was overseer before Hank and I imagine that the Vault-Tec employees would have all been in a good vault like Barbara suggested and that the higher your rank, the later you would be revived since things would have progressed further by then.
I got a couple. How can the power armor fly, when in fallout 4 you needed a massive jetpack just to do big jumps? Why did they depict all the corporate bigwigs talking to each other about their potential experiments, therefore giving each other blackmail material? How come Hank didn't know about vault 32 being long dead before they did that exchange? If the NCR had an estimated 1 million people by the events of New Vegas, what happened to it to only have a few dozen to a hundred people left?
How do investors maintain their wealth in a world without consumers or capitalism? Life continuing on the surface wasn't part of their plans
Blackmail when the world ends? Lol, ok. As far as power armor, it's not too absurd. The tech is there for it.
@@nadca2 Yeah at least for the Enclave they had weird fantasies about remaking the world in their image. But the executives in that scene were talking about much money they'd make by destroying the world, which made no sense at all.
Young Betty was Cooper Howard's wife secretary and she worked with hank, you see Betty become an overseer in the vault she is part of management.
My theory is that cooper was put into a bad vault because of the divorce. He found out about the corruption and betrayed with vault-tec still using his face. Seeing his image survive his face must be heartbreaking when they are the opposite characters
Does Bud communicate with all the existing Overseers if they are supposed to be his experiment (super managers)? It seems like they left Hank in the dark because he had no idea what had happened in Vault 32. Of course, had he known there wouldn't have been much of a show because he never would have let the Raiders come in. Given that he loves Lucy so much you would think he'd want to know as much about her future husband as he could. Where was Monty's mother and father? If they'd been living in the vaults for more than 200 years there would have likely been a healthy family tree there with many generations. We never see any of that. Also, how many people live in the vaults? Hundreds, thousands? I know they were built to hold that many but likely few that purchased spaces actually could get to them once the bombs fell so that might explain why we only see so few people at the wedding (and that included t folks from Vault 32 also).
"We haven't seen the Enclave since Fallout 2."
Somebody hasn't played 3 or New Vegas.
He means on the west coast as an organisation
3 was east, new Vegas it was integrated members who had faded into regular life
@@jordanclark4635 Is that the big difference between 2 and 3? Seems the majority of the plot was a copy&paste from Fallout 2
@@nadca2 it’s the difference in the state of the enclave in 3, and in new Vegas
Since vault-tech is still going to be main antagonist of season 2.
If the fallout show gets a season 3 i wonder if the enclave will be the primary villains, since we briefly see them at the beginning of the first season.
It will depend on how season 2 goes when it comes out.
they could easily spin the "ghoulification" process being different depending on not just exposure variation but also genetic makeup ... similar to how certain gene pools during the black plague avoided getting sick from a specific dna makeup
I thought the same thing!
You pretty much raised the same questions I had, except for the blonde Stephanie Harper who comes from vault 31. My guess is that she was born before the nuclear explosions. And now she manages vault 32.
12:40 the T-60 trips so they add an explosion lol
Moldaver worked her way into Bud’s Buds, her name is on one of the cryo pods but it’s very brief
Seems like Hank would've known Moldaver instantly in the first episode as she took in his wife and daughter in Shady Sands and he ended up nuking the place. It was personal. He knew who she was. Was he still just playing the unknowing overseer for the other vault dwellers benefit, or an oversight in continuity?
4:07 I mean you literally answered your own question, Cooper likely spends decades at a time down in his coffin having the chems directly mainlined into him. When he's out and about, he needs to be stiming himself with the stuff every couple hours at least.
I thought it was once a day. 60 vials is approximately 2 months worth.
Which is also the amount of time Vault 33 has before running out of water.
Makes me think season 2 will be on a bit of a timer.
why was Steph thrilled to be going to vault 32 like how are they gonna survive there when there's no supplies? is vault 31 like the management vault or is there another one that's like higher level management? was Hank actually authorized and equipped enough to bomb shady sands on his own? - like the end sort of set him up as a decent bad guy, but the flashback and if he's not in the upper management vault had him as like exec admin.
I think lighting up the city with the cold fusion was dumb. Some large faction (whatever's left of Vault-Tek, some offshoot of the BoS, who knows, I don't know the games that well unfortunately) will see this as a rich opportunity to grab power. Or, for Vault-Tek, unless the C.F. is being used to create some massive power base, to destroy the power source and neutralize whatever advantage it had given Moldaver.
But generally great story. More, please!
Plus: at the beginning of the story, the ghoul has been buried in a coffin for some time. How does he take his drug, being buried and how did he survive? He says that he needs 60 shots every two months, which means a shot a day. How does he survive in the coffin? And why bury a ghoul if you want to eliminate him since he cannot die even if you shoot him?
I thought Moldaver was cryogenically frozen in the vault Lucy and Maximus fall in to? That’s why she’s worshipped there
I feel like the most interesting character, should they write his part well, in series 2 will be Chet. You can tell he has his morals and is also suspicious of the vaults, so really, with Norm gone, he's the only person that can actually do anything about it. He has the potential for a great character arc.
Cooper was divorced at the time of the party scene. They mention he is doing kid's parties for alimony. Even as a bit of a joke but Cooper's reaction appeared to give merit to the statement.
I think the scientist head will end up being a Synth since the show is popular now and they would probably like to use that great actor again, and also because the showmakers have a history with Westworld.
When barb said one of the good vaults I’m thinking vault tec had private vaults for themselves hidden somewhere and she wanted to get her and her daughter inside before vault tec dropped the bombs to reset the world
There is a hole in the plot 1st episode, Lucy wants to marry someone from another vault because of no incest rules however in her vault you have people who are different races not related to her like black men or other races so this makes no sense at all, unless she is somehow related to every man in the vault 33, this is the main reason she cannot marry Chet her cousin.
Also Maldover is lucy's mom's friend she almost got Lucy killed in the vault raid and had other innocent people killed but she wanted to help people this does not make sense, all she had to do is come in and kidnap Hank lucy's dad without killing anyone.
Hopefully Norm puts off going into one of those pods ad long as he can stay alive. hopefully long enough to figure out a hack to get out .
My questions, with both their capital and seemingly an important leader now off the map, what is the state of the NCR across the Western Commonwealths (at least as far out as Four States based on NV). They had a wider presence than just the South West Commonwealth so how is that impacted by the loss of HQ?
If next season is going to New Vegas, that requires answering what the canon events and ending of that game was. Is House dead or alive and who controls the Hoover Dam?
What was the stuff Thaddeus took that turned him into a ghoul? Was it the FEV amd is it possible we will see him hulk into a supermutant?
What was the deal with Vault 4, the stuff on level 12 as it exists now and their weird cult mentality about Moldaver?
Loved this video!
I feel like the lore of the video games would answer a lot of the questions on the Enclave.
About the doc. Future seasons will explain with flashbacks of course
As for the mysterious cleaning of Vault 32 - that could easily have been a small force of Mr. Handy robots kept somewhere in a storage space of the vaults or inter vault tunnels. We have seen them doing maintenance tasks previously.
My guess is, like the Matrix, this wasn’t the first purge they’ve had to do of either vault. One steps out of line, just wreck the place and have some robots come clean up, if it were one vault then 200+ years would be tough to pull off, but have 2 vaults makes it much easier.
