"She reminds me of the old blind lady from Deadpool". That's because she IS the old blind lady from Deadpool. ;) And btw. Woody is the bus guy from Shang-Chi.

Maximus running around with a 1 charisma and intelligence but a 10 luck and endurance.

I love that after the Bridge shootout, there is no " I told you so" from Maximus despite him being 100% correct about the situation. He doesn't even seem annoyed or angry that Lucy did not believe him and just treats it like one more day in the wasteland, moving on to looting and then on where to go next.

I think you guys are underestimating how ruthless the Brotherhood is. Knight Titus literally told Maximus they would string him up of letting his knight die. Thaddeus first response when hearing Titus was dead was that they Brotherhood was going to kill him. Maximus said that he'd be fine if he brought back the head, but he doesn't know that for certain. Fear is what driving him. Sure some of it is stupidity, but mostly it's just fear.

im still shocked that Rick and Eric didn't want to watch this

"what difference a day makes" the perfect song for that scene of the freshly cleaned vault 32

It shows Maximus Is a bad liar. It also shows he has a conscience. Remember the first episode he felt so guilty about wanting his friend hurt so he could be squire that he froze up and stammered. Now he feels guilty about not protecting Knight Titus. Remember, he already said on the radio that his squire was killed before Thaddeus showed up. Odds are the clerics told Thaddeus why was anointed squire. It's also a good sign he did not plant the razor blade in his friend's boot. He has too sensitive a conscience to keep up such a lie.

The line “Everyone wants to save the world, they just disagree on how” is honestly as relevant as “War, war never changes”.

Maximus' first impulse is always to lie to protect himself. Which really sucks for him because he's so bad at it. (Though honestly, he's not that convincing when he's telling the truth, either.)

Hawthorne? Remember the Vault-tec "commercial" from the last episode? The Hawthornes were the scientists who were going to do the 5- year test in the vault.

It's a subtle thing, but in episode 2 Wilzig describes Vault 33 as a "meritocracy" implying anyone can rise up the ranks if they work hard, but then even without knowing what's really happening in 31 it's believed that they have advantages that 32 and 33 don't have. Meaning it's not true that you can really advance based on your own merit and are instead promoted based on the believed advantages you were raised with.

lol the whole focus of the cam was on the star wars cup left, auto focus on? :D

This show deserves all the worship. I'm a non Fallout fan but obsessed with the lure because of this show. Wish I could get the game soon

I love all 3 main characters, but Maximus is definitely up there for me. He's pretty "grey", but when you think about the fact that he's basically a child soldier with little to no life experience, other than whatever he was trained to do at the brotherhood, got the the crap beat out of him there at the only life he's really known, had one whole friend and his first knight was kind of a prick who told him that they hang bad squires and leave them out to die. It makes sense why he started lying, probably out of fear for failing his first knight ever. He definitely could have worded things better when talking to Thaddeus, but again. Lack of life experience/social skills (charisma check). But clearly how he dealt with the fiends means he's at least got some combat experience thanks to the brotherhood. Lucy froze in that moment and would have been shot and eaten, had he not taken the gun. Again, I love all three characters and the show is amazing. I think Maximus gets a lot of flack, but I feel like his character makes sense due to him just being a product of his environment.

After the Branding.... Maximus FATFINGERED *ALL* the dialog options, didn't he? Thaddius has it down. I too have played Cyberpunk with a Techie on MaxTac that fights cyberpsychos with a tool kit. Yep. Betty obviously found all the coke next to the cure for blindness, then joined Vault 31. 😁👍 Now, every Every EVERY Gamer EVER reads that hospital hallway's lighting as a TRAAAAP!!!

Shady Sands is a location from fallout 1 and fallout 2. It was founded by the residents of Vault 15 and eventually grew into the New California Republic, the arguably the most powerful faction on the West Coast. Shady Sands' appearance in this episode was controversial for a number of reasons, most more relevant to next episode. The one relevant to this episode is that the show has it in the wrong place, showing it within the confines of Los Angeles, close to where the post war city "the boneyard" should be. In the games the city is located much further north, at the top of fallout 1's map and the bottom of fallout 2's. Presumably the simple explanation (without the location just straight up being retconned, which would kinda mess up Fallout 1 and 2's narrative) is that for some reason the city moved at some point further south for unknown reasons.

2:00 He's a Low INT character.

I think Maximus couldn't tell the Brotherhood or his squire the truth because he lied to the Brotherhood back at Filly, because if he told them the truth they would've sent another knight to take the armour and punish him for failing to protect his knight.

Camera Focus was focused more on the desk than you guys, you look so blury other than that great reaction :D
