A Thorough Look at Fallout [Revised/Expanded/HD]

This is a video review and retrospective of the full Fallout franchise, from its '90s isometric roots to the Pitt Expeditions update of Fallout 76, with everything in between. It looks at how Fallout 1 established the tone and iconography of the series, and then how each subsequent game interpreted those elements in its own unique way. This video essay doesn't seek to rank the games, instead looking at each in terms of its individual strengths, weaknesses, and fidelity to what came before. FULL SPOILERS THROUGHOUT.


This video made with production assistance from Nate Greene.

If you enjoyed this video but crave even more Fallout content: The Atomic Cafe, the 1982 documentary mentioned and sampled in the introduction, is currently available here on YouTube for free: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9xQTJ-kbUk I also completed a two video series where I drove the real-life maps of all the mainline Fallout titles and compared them to the games: Real Life Landscapes of Fallouts 1, 2, and New Vegas (2019) -- https://youtu.be/89sOyZdtVA0 Real Life Landscapes of Fallouts 3, 4, and 76 (2023) -- https://youtu.be/iSIDtxHaFpk And lastly, I did a history-focused Atomic Age road trip where I make the pilgrimage to Trinity Site, where the first bomb was detonated, as well as other Cold War points of interests like a simulated launch at a Titan-2 Missile Silo: https://youtu.be/ByRKF1INOcU Hope you enjoyed this video!

New Vegas is, to this day, the only game my mother has ever actively asked to watch me play. The radio stations grabbed her attention, and when I explained the plot, she said it reminded her of cowboy movies she’s loved over the years. She still asks me what that “cowboy game” is that she liked so much, haha. Just a testament to the presentation of NV that a non-gamer mom loved it even without ever playing it

I could not be less surprised that Noah's favorite part of the Fallout series is the DLC about a post-apocalyptic road.

Finally, a Fallout series review that isn't just a play-by-play of the entire story of the games, and instead a thorough critical analysis of themes, video game design, and politics.

If you ever feel like we're living in the worst possible timeline, remember that there's an alternate universe where, "you don't know about Fallout: BOS" guy discouraged Noah so much that he never made another video.

"Good role-playing is being able to choose among meaningful options. Great role-playing is having choices meaningful enough to make a player question their own assumptions and motivations, to feel the weight of Choice" This is Gold

Was really expecting the line "Just as Ron Pearlman brought you into this world" to end with "Ron Pearlman will take you out of it" like he eviscerates us at the end

I feel like the title really undersells what this video is. Like calling the entire Jackson LOTR trilogy a revised/expanded/HD cut of the trailer for the Bakshi version

"You can throw soda at the rat! No one gives a shit." 'Cool, man. I'm 35.' In a 9+ hour long retrospective with a ton of effort put into it and so much meat to sink one's teeth into, this line will still stick in my brain for years to come, as I laughed for 10 minutes straight at it. Godspeed, Noah.

The part where Noah equips the golf club before thawing Mr. House is why real heads watch the video as well as listen to it. That gave me a chuckle.

It says so much about the quality of the world New Vegas built that, while every other section has some story analysis, the New Vegas section is an hour long and is like 50% philosophy discussion.

I always liked the fan theory that Vault 76's experiment was that all the residents were selected form the worst of the worst and that is why every new player fresh out of the vault has all 1 for their S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats

Noah's shift in tone from excited talking New Vegas DLCs to a little tired in Fallout 4 section is so stark

I think the fat boy launchers are a useful way to reinforce the idea that the player is in a world where the nuclear weapons taboo has been broken in quite a violent way.

The point you made about the evil choices in Fallout 3 basically amounting to fourth wall breaks because they do not take the fiction of the game world seriously enough - I just want to say that's the sort of thing I absolutely binge-watch your videos for. I have watched more hours of Fallout analyses than I have some full length video game campaigns, and not once have I heard this point made this particular way. It's elegant, and it highlights such a fundamental underpinning of Bethesda's design philosophy. They don't want the player to take things too seriously it seems, and nothing highlights that better than their supposed 'evil' choices. Brilliant video, so worth sitting through which is so rare for videos this length. Every time I see one of your videos on this series I am motivated to jump back in for one more run of FNV. Cheers Noah!
