Fallout 2 is the best Fallout. 2 > New Vegas > 3 > 1 = 4

If you have the time, you should definitely play fallout new Vegas if you have liked season two. Even just watching somebody do a run through would be worth it just to see the world transcribed onto the screen

What is this Luna place where I can play for free?

Any idea if I can download a game? My free time is absolutely screwed offshore if so.

You don't download anything; it's like streaming the game to your device. Basically just load and play

Ahh that sucks. We have limited data offshore and that's about the only place I would ever play it because I am way too busy at home.

Dang

All you gamers are making me think I need to try the game out.

If you're interested in fallout games because of the show, I'd recommend:

1.) Fallout New Vegas. It's the best storytelling of all fallout games and is full of sites you will recognize from the current tv season. You'll get a huge kick out of this game if the TV show is why you want to play. The game is from 2010 and will play comfortably to a modern audience.

2.) Fallout 1 and 2. These came out in the 90s and it shows. Isometric, turn based combat may be a high barrier to entry, but they are set in California (setting of season 1) and establish the world we've been exploring in the show. The writing is strong and the show builds off factions and concepts first established here. Unlike all the others, these games will not hold your hand and you will probably die. A lot.

3.) FO 3 and 4. Set on the east coast, so less overlap with the show than the west coast games. Both are fun, but the storytelling is less dynamic than in the other games.

I haven't played Fallout 76, so no comment there.

I definitely didn't tear up at shady sands scene

Try it out and if you are into it then you need to get a steam deck. If you have a lot of downtime offshore, FO3, NV, and FO4 will give you several hundred hours of playtime.

Are we going to see the Railroad, we've seen enclave and institute, I'm pretty sure shady sands was the minutemen right? Just missing railroad?

Shady Sands was the NCR, Minutemen and Railroad are both in the Commonwealth (Boston). I could see Season 3 heading east, but i think this one will stay west coast.

Ahhh gotcha. Need those remaster to come out

If you have Steam, you may be able to play them offline. You'll obviously need an internet connection to buy and download the games, then once you have that all done you can set Steam up to run games offline

How would you play those offshore with a steam deck?

Y'all don't need to keep explaining it to me, this clearly requires more effort than I am willing to put in to play video games lol. Sorry for the derail.

Wait... when did we see the Institute?

I think you just need to get a steam deck, download the game on land, set it to play offline, and you're good

But then I need a tv and wires and controller and all that yea? Or just a computer? Because the former is a non starter and latter potentially doable depending on size and computer requirements.

Steam Deck is a handheld. Buy it on steam, download the game, then you can play offline for however long you want.

No, a Steam Deck is a portable handheld. It has screen, controller, storage, and everything all built in to a handheld system. So, just download all the games you want while you're on land and then go play them offline while at sea.

They are somewhat expensive ($600ish, I believe), but there are similar systems from other manufacturers.

Ahhhh ok. Got it. Thanks.

I'm fairly certain we haven't.

Spoiler from the game.
They were destroyed in FO4

Not in my play through they weren't

Since the Prydwen (the big BoS airship) is intact in the show, I don't think the Institute can be around anymore. The Railroad can, but not the Institute. It's been a while, but I think the Prydwen is destroyed in all endings that the Institute survives.

Also worth noting - and I don't think this is a spoiler at all, so no spoiler tags - but the last episode dropped Elder Maxson's name.

Myself and some others speculated Kumail might be Elder Maxson, (which didn't make a lot of sense so not surprised he wasn't him) - but if I had to guess Elder Maxson actor reveal will be the season 2 cliffhanger. I think he would be around 30 in this.

I've only played Fallout 4, but I believe the only character so far from any of the games is Robert House right?

Fair to say the Prydwen is definitely around since they mentioned Elder Maxson and the Commonwealth Brotherhood are the big swingin dicks... but I don't think we've seen the actual Prydwen. Just other airships.

Dont forget Dogmeat.

There were zoomed in shots that showed it with the name 'Prydwen' on the side just like the games. Although, I don't think anyone has actually called it that.

Characters we've seen from the games so far…

- House
- Victor
- Caesar (as a corpse)
- Dogmeat (there's always a dogmeat)

I think that's it.

Debating on whether or not to stay up and watch the drop tomorrow morning

Is feeling like ass all day tomorrow really worth it? Probably smarter to just go to bed earlier and wake up 45 minutes early and watch it before the family gets up.
