Warning: Major spoilers for Season 1 of the Amazon TV show Fallout.
Well, most of us now have some time to watch Amazon’s Fallout TV show.
But what if you might be watching it bit by bit instead of all in one sitting, or feel like something isn’t clear enough? What if you want to understand what you just watched and what is happening to the three main characters that you should be most focused on, rather than obsessing over the fact that I don’t know? Is Lucy eating some truly delicious deviled eggs?
What if you just want to see if it’s possible to outline all of this in the time it takes to drop the bomb at the beginning of Fallout 4? Well, we’ve got you covered.All you have to do is agree to our use bold An overview of what happened when the sole survivor made his way to Vault 111.
The steam cleared from the bathroom mirror, revealing Nate’s face. “War never changes,” he muttered.
Okay, let’s get started.
Fallout opens with Walton Goggins’ character Cooper Howard (no relation) performing at a party in 2077, when Los Angeles is hit by a nuclear attack. Now, 219 years later in 2296, Lucy McClain (no relation) is a young woman living in Vault 33, one of the many large underground shelters where lucky people survived throughout the nuclear apocalypse survived. She’s getting married to someone in another vault that’s connected to hers, but, bam, a sex scene later, it turns out the guy in the other vault was lying.
I confirmed that I wanted to play regular Nate and step away from the mirror.
They came from the surface to kidnap Lucy’s father, who had raised Lucy himself since her mother mysteriously disappeared, and they did. Then there’s Maximus, a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, descendants of the US military who want to keep dangerous technology out of the hands of the masses to avoid another disaster, as they accuse people of being exposed to too much dangerous technology . What actually happened.
Everything Maximus does is clean until his friend gets a promotion after a mysterious accident that he may be responsible for. Oh, and Cooper Howard is now a ghoul, which basically means he’s been exposed to so much radiation that it doesn’t affect him now, and he has no skin. He was dug up and given a bounty to hunt.
I was chatting away in the kitchen and Codsworth had just let me enjoy my morning coffee. My baby started crying.
Lucy escapes her refuge and heads into the wasteland to find her father. Maximus sets out to find the same man as the ghoul, dragging a knight’s bag wearing a suit of very strong fusion-powered armor. Maximus really wanted to give it a try when he let the knight die, assumed his identity, and decided to find the target himself so the Brotherhood wouldn’t kill him for bringing the target back to them because he let His comrades died.
The target he’s tracking is a doctor on the run from the Enclave, a scion of a pre-war government who believed they were the only ones capable of returning America to its pre-war state, and he’s secretly injected some of the drugs he once used. Useful technology. Working on getting into his neck. They met in a small town called Fili, where the ghoul tried to capture the doctor and shot his foot off. Lucy and Maximus eventually intervene, which causes Lucy to leave with the Doctor, who wants to find the same person who kidnapped Lucy’s father – a woman named Moldafo.

I’m not sure Codsworth can calm this baby down.
Lucy ends up having to technically decapitate the Doctor as his legs mean he can’t make it, but then she eventually loses it to a giant mutant salamander called the Devourer. The ghoul tried to take it back, but failed, and eventually left with her as his prisoner.
Maximus sent a new trainee from the Brotherhood, known as the Squire, who convinced everyone that he was the knight he had left to die. The two men manage to remove the Doctor’s head from the Devourer. Back in Vault 33, things seem suspicious. Lucy’s brother discovers that Vault 32 – the way in which the bad guys enter – is full of dead residents, and he becomes wary of Vault 33’s leadership.
The Vault-Tec rep just told me how happy he was to finally be able to talk to me.
The ghoul tries to sell Lucy to an organ harvester to get some medicine to prevent him from losing his mind and turning into a feral monster, but that backfires and she escapes. Maximus confessed to his squire that he was not a knight, they fought, he was trapped in the powerless power armor, and the squire left him, giving the head to the Brotherhood.
All the while, we’re introduced to Ghoul’s life as an actor before the war, he started doing commercials for Vault-tec (a company that made vaults), and while his wife ended up working for them, he didn’t believe in trusting them.
I skip some conversations so I can say “no” to the sales rep at least once instead of giving in immediately, which is faster.
Lucy rescues Maximus and they agree to work together, setting off to retrieve the skull and save Lucy’s father. Her brother discovered that all the leaders of Vault 33 were from Vault 31, one of the other Vaults connected to it. Lucy and Maximus discover that Shady Sands, the former capital of the New California Republic, has been bombed. The New California Republic was an organization that grew and took control of California in the postwar years, much like the democratic government before the war. It’s just a big hole in the ground. The two of them soon become trapped in a nearby shelter, where a DNA-splicing experiment to create Galactus is underway, and the residents there behave somewhat like a cult.

The representatives left and thanked the Lord.
The Ghouls learn of Moldaver’s location, and it turns out she was working on cold fusion technology before the war, which could have prevented the bomb from being dropped due to a scramble for resources, but Vault Technology stopped her. She asked Howard to spy on his wife to learn more about the shelter’s technology.
Lucy and Maximus are released after discovering what happened in the shelter. After Lucy asks Maximus to live with her in her vault, Maximus tells Lucy his true identity, Lucy forgives him for the lie, and they set out to retrieve the head. Vault 33 has a new overseer, a former Vault 31, who sends some residents to Vault 32, which has been mysteriously restored.
I have to go try and get Sean to stop crying.
Maximus and Lucy recover the head from the Squire, he escapes and the Brotherhood arrives, Maximus decides to trick them with the wrong head while Lucy escapes and delivers the real head. Maximus eventually showed some courage and eventually won over the Brotherhood, and they made their way to the observatory where Moldav was.
Codsworth told Nora and I that we should come and have a look.
Lucy delivers the head, and Moldav uses his technology to prepare a cold fusion core, but requires Lucy’s father’s access code. It turns out that Lucy’s father was actually a pre-war Vault-Tec employee who was frozen along with the other managers of Vault 31 and reactivated to lead Vault 33. After Lucy’s mother ran to Shady Sands with the children, he blew up Shady Sands, which led to the safety of Vault 31. That’s why Lucy’s mother is a feral ghoul sitting next to her. He was forced to give up the activation code for Cold Fusion, which only the people at Vault-Tec knew since purchasing the rights to it.
The air raid sirens sounded and we started running towards Vault 111.
Before the war, Cooper Howard discovered that it was Vault Tech that dropped the bomb to ensure they could control the future by keeping everyone in the Vault and destroying everything else. A major battle broke out between the arriving Brotherhood and Moldav’s forces, the remains of the NCR from Shady Sands. The Brotherhood wins, but cold fusion is activated, providing free electricity to Los Angeles, which is why everyone wants it, because it’s very useful in a world where everything is destroyed. Lucy’s father escapes and heads to New Vegas, and they all follow.
We reached the shelter platform and within seconds the world ended.
