Desmond Lockhart, a pre-war British ghoul and former spy vs Professor Calvert, a brilliant government scientist, reduced to a power-hungry brain in a jar.
As is so often the case, its up to the Lone Wanderer to decide who wins but this rivalry wasn’t just born out of a mutual dislike.
As both characters are players in a much larger game. Fallout’s Great Game, a kill or be killed conflict between the last vestiges of the old world’s pre-war elite who all managed to find ways to cheat death, and continue playing.
In todays video we revisit the conflict between the two players we know, the factions involved, the events which take place and all of the potential endings. Before finishing with some theories over who the other players may be.

On the one hand, House would think the game is beneath him On the other hand, he is a sucker for pre-war nostalgia
-
My guess is that Mobius was the main one part of the Great game in the think tank
-
I’ve never really thought much about it before but it must be miserable to go from a living breathing human being before the war, to losing your body and becoming nothing more than a brain floating in a jar for hundreds of years in a world completely torn apart and ruined by nukes.
-
The Mysterious Stranger is not likely a player in the Great Game. That is- if he WAS a time traveler. If he was a player with the ability to time travel, he would have went back and killed all other players before the game would have even started.
-
I love how the TV show has this exact thing as the main plot.
-
Probably easily one of my favorite ghoul characters. He just give no slags about it.
-
I love this mod it makes point lookout fresh but still has its classic charm
-
On the contrary, I think Desmond was a jet addict and was talking bollocks.
-
"The Great Game" is a euphemism for espionage and covert operations to further the goals of Nations and, sometimes, singular people. But it's mostly espionage, sometimes for the sake of espionage. Desmond is a fromer agent of some nation and he is hunting down the last couple of adversaries of his time as one before the war, probably to settle old scores. I don't know if you knew that, but if you did, you should have mentioned what the great game is.
-
Considering this and the video EpicNate released, I believe the great game is far larger than even Desmond knows. Shadow governments, aliens, eldritch entities, strangers, and some lucky or unlucky nobodies; who knows how big the great game really is? It may also be a clever way for the devs to pat them selves on the back for the back story they have written.
-
Im interested how Mr house will play a role in season 2 of the show
-
Whoever voiced Desmond, is giving me Saint Jiub vibe.
-
I'd love to see Desmond in Fallout Lοndon
-
So whos here after finishing the show
-
I made a theory ages ago that house was part of the great game, I'm glad someone else not only sees the same thing as I but also expands upon it and shines light on things I never thought about.
-
The occultists are a bigger deal than you gave them credit for though. The greatest disappointment in the community is no New Vegas dlc mod adding the ancient city beneath the Mojave, accessed via the Divide.
-
I strongly feel that the show using the words "The great game" during the corporate cabal meeting with a shadowy figure looking down(representative of the enclave imo) was meant to be a direct reference to this.
-
God i miss Big MT. "No! Outside is death! Despite mounting evidence to the contrary!"
-
Fantastic video man, you really brought some new information that I think most people haven’t heard or paid attention too
-
House is absolutely the kind of guy who would high-mindedly claim to be above such trivialities, but would absolutely turn all of his power towards it if he found another viable player. Its basically what he does in the Mojave already, he just does it with people and groups that haven't been around as long as him.
