Warning ! This clause contains pillager for Amazon ’s Fallout TV show .
Summary
Amazon’sFalloutshow was extremely faithful to the game series , but it also featured several big change to the enfranchisement ’s canon . Falloutis based on the picture game series of the same name and the post - apocalyptic earth it create . The show follow three main characters : Lucy , Maximus , and the Ghoul as they journey through and changed the barren . They were n’t the only single to change the waste , though , as the show itself also made major readjustment toFallout ’s canyon .
Falloutclearly has a reverence for the game it ’s establish on , and that esteem has infuse every aspect of the show . There are severalEaster eggs and reference to the games inFallout , and the feel of the game translate perfectly to the show . Despite how closely theFalloutshow follows the game , there are still several change that were made for the first time of year . Several of them were rather minor tweaks , but 11 of them were very authoritative and fundamentally changed the enfranchisement ’s lore .
The wasteland of Fallout is a huge world , and there ’s an equally huge cast of unique part to meet it and give it an far-out good luck charm .
11Pip-Boys Work Slightly Differently In The Fallout Show
There were several minor changes from the Pip-Boys in the games
Pip - Boys , the vault dwellers ' personal computer , have been a staple ofFalloutsince the root , but they also went through several alteration in the games . In some games , likeFallout 3 , the Pip - Boy was biometrically sealed to its user arm , and could n’t be removed without dispatch the subdivision . In other games , though , likeFallout 4 , Pip - Boys could easily be taken off . TheFalloutshow seems to observe that game ’s version , though it added some functionality .
The Pip - Boys in theFalloutshow had some surplus ability , like being able-bodied to wirelessly connect to devices like the listening gadget Cooper used before the state of war . It also summate new features , like the tracker Lucy put on Siggi ’s brain , that had never appeared before in the games . That alteration in particular was a cock-a-hoop deal for the show , as it help Lucy keep track of the head in a way she never could have in the games . Other aspects were simply slenderly tweaked , as the flashlight function in the games was simply a glowing sieve , whereas in the show there was a dedicated torch .
10The Fallout Show Featured A New Kind Of Vault
Vaults had never been connected like Vaults 31, 32, and 33 before
The vault inFalloutare one of the most unique aspects of the waste . Their cruel experiments and iconic imaging , like the blue and yellow jumpsuits , have made them a darling part of the dealership . TheFalloutshow kept most of the item about vault true to the game , but it also featured an unheard of type of burial vault . vault 31 , 32 , and 33 were all connected in the show , which had never been discover in the games . Their proximity to each other work as part of a prominent experimentation , but it was still a modification .
In the games , vaults were largely completely independent of each other . They were also spread across the entire country , so the estimation of connected vaults was never even brought up in the games . Vaults 31 , 32 , and 33 fundamentally shift the way vaults make inFallout , and their existence could easy precede to even more new types being create in the future tense .
9Vault Boy’s Thumbs Up Got A Better Explanation In The Show
Cooper Howard popularized the thumbs up gesture, which confirmed a long-debunked fan-theory
Vault Boy was the mascot of Vault - Tecand another icon of theFalloutseries . Despite its popularity among fans of the franchise , the Vault Boy had a lustreless origin . Many fans cerebrate Vault Boy ’s trademark quarter round up pose was a mention to a method acting to define the distance of a nuclear blast , but that hypothesis was debunked by the secret plan ' creator . It was an interesting theory , and the characteristic wink Vault Boy does with his thumbs up supported it , but for years it was considered non - canon .
TheFalloutshow , however , canonized the antecedently junk possibility . As the show let on , Cooper Howard was the inspiration for Vault Boy ’s ovolo up impersonate , and he got the theme from the very same proficiency . That origin also create a risky retentiveness for the Ghoul , who destroyed the billboard of the Vault Boy he see on the road . The genuine lineage of the pose also adds another stratum of irony , givenVault - Tec ’s role in the Great War .
8Gulpers Are Very Different In The Fallout Games
They weren’t originally tied to vaults or human experiments at all
One of the most memorablemutant creatures from theFalloutshowwas the guzzler . Late in the show , it was uncover that the guzzler were really products of Vault 4 ’s experimentation into genetic handling . That can be see in several aspects of their design , from the human centre and hands they have to the fingers that line the insides of their mouth . While that is a ugly destiny for a person to face , and it makes the gulpers even more terrific on an existential stratum , their game counterparts were very different .
guzzler first appeared inFar Harbor , downloadable cognitive content forFallout 4 , but they reappeared inFallout 76.In both games , guzzler had evolved from salamander due to radiation syndrome from the bombs , much like radroaches . As such , they had none of the human elements the guzzler in theFalloutshow did , and were much smaller .
7Ghouls Have Different Rules In The Fallout Show
The yellow vials were a huge new addition to the lore surrounding ghouls
Ghouls likeWalton Goggins ' Ghoul characterexperienced some of the biggest changes from the game . In both the show and the game , ghouls were people who had been reveal to and survived deadly levels of radiation sickness . Survival came with a price , though , as it turned the mortal into a ghoul and gave them marred physical body and exceedingly retentive aliveness .
In the show , ghouls were near immortal , and could bring around from almost any wound . They also had todrink vials of liquidness to avoid going feral , though , which was a departure from the conventional way feral ghoul worked . Because of the need for those vial , and the fact that they were so expensive , it was almost inevitable that a ghoul would go feral . This was such a make that it was seen as telling that The Ghoul had live on since the Great War .
In the game , ghouls would still finally go feral due to the high levels of radiation they put up , as it would eventually induce their psyche to rot . However , ghouls in theFalloutgames did n’t have to drink the ampule to keep themselves sane . It was also much more rough-cut that ghouls could survive for over two 100 , like The Ghoul . In fact , most of the ghoul in the game had become ghouls during the Great War . While they had that benefit over the body snatcher in the show , they also were n’t nearly as long-wearing , and could be killed just as well as any other human .

6Power Armor Had Several Minor Tweaks In The Fallout Show
It was mostly faithful to the games, but one change had an impact on the show’s plot
Power armor , like Pip - Boys , had lead through significant changes even within the games themselves . In the first installments ofFallout , power armour was used just like any other type of apparel , and was essentially just armour , albeit extremely powerful armor . Fallout 4changed that , though , and made it so power armor was more like a mechanised courting . The exponent armour feature in the show was most similar to the armour inFallout 4 .
Amazon Prime ’s Fallout has already show audiences glimpses of the Brotherhood of Steel . However , there ’s a lot of all-important entropy on the cabal .
Despite its similarity toFallout 4 ’s power armour , theFalloutshow modify great power armor in a few pocket-sized ways . Those changes included implementing the suit ’s escape capabilities into the wrist joint and tot a voice modulator . The show also brought a new reading of power armor , the T-60 , to California than the secret plan had ever shown . One change had a significant impact onFallout ’s patch , though , as the show made it so armour could n’t even be drop dead without a fusion marrow , which take into account Thaddeus to trap Maximus .
5The Fallout Show Rewrote The New California Republic’s Capital
The NCR’s capital, Shady Sands, hadn’t been destroyed in Fallout: New Vegas
TheFalloutshow has made significant modification toFallout : New Vegas , and especially the New California Republic . When they stumbled upon a sign for Shady Sands , Maximus explained to Lucy that the capital of the NCR had been destroy by an nuclear bomb . That was a devastating reverse , and it led the NCR being a much less important part of California ’s wasteland than it was in the secret plan .

Since Hank destroyed Shady Sands in 2277 , andNew Vegasis set just four years later in 2281,any one of the dozen of NCR member feature in the plot should have at least made honorable mention of the cataclysm . Shady Sands ' death completely exchange the context ofFallout : New Vegasand turn the engagement for the Mojave Wasteland into a fight for the NCR ’s survival of the fittest .
4The Enclave Had Abandoned The West In The Fallout Games
Siggi Wilzig escaped from them, and the Ghoul was captured by another splinter group
The Enclave , a group that claimed to flat descend from the pre - war United States government activity , was a major faction in several games . By the time ofFallout : New Vegas , however , the Enclave had very few members who were still operating in the West . Most of them had either gone back to the East coast , where the Enclave was stronger , or had joined other factions like the New California Republic . Because of that , they had very picayune power in the West , and even less effect on major events of the games .
Prime Video ’s Fallout show brings several significant factions and characters to life in series , build off the original games to expand the universe .
In theFalloutshow , the Enclave was still very much operate in the barren . The main branch of the Enclave was n’t show much , but Siggi Wilzig escaped from them with the key to cold fusion . There was also a small splinter group that persist the organ craft out of the Super Duper Mart and nobble the Ghoul . The Enclave ’s heightened level of amour in California was very different from the wayNew Vegasdepicted them , but time of year 2 could explain how they retrovert to the barren .
3Vault-Tec Wasn’t Confirmed To Be The Cause Of The Great War In The Games
It was long theorized, but the show was the first to confirm Vault-Tec’s involvement
One of the most shocking reveals inFalloutwas thatVault - Tec , the company creditworthy for the vaults , spend the atomic bomb that destroyed the world . As Barb explained , Vault - Tec drop the bomb to ensure that their vaults would be profitable and to literally wipe out all the contention . The plan was to simply survive every other company in the world , as if they were the only people still doing business after the apocalypse , they would have the full-grown monopoly the world had ever see .
There was never much information in the games about the root causes of the Great War beyond a unsubdivided review of the resource state of war that predate it . While many fans of the series have theorized that Vault - Tec was involved in the Great War and nuclear devastation , it had never been confirmed . The official explanation was just that China and the United States had launched missiles at each other as an excalation of the Sino - American war , and that their fusillade had destroyed the existence .
2Pre-War Companies Never Worked Together In The Games
They usually operated independently of each other
Just before revealing Vault - Tec ’s affair in the Great War , theFalloutshow also feature representatives of many of the United States ' liberal company talking about the plan . The pre - war companies had resolve to join forces on the vault , with each trying out a different experiment in their several vaults . The promise of wiping out the competition with nuclear blast and create a " true monopoly " after the Revelation of Saint John the Divine was enough of a ground to get them to unite forces .
In the game , the pre - war companies were largely separate entities who did n’t deal with each other much . When they did interact , it was unremarkably antagonistically , and those interactions often took the form of incorporated espionage and sabotage . The faithful they came to quislingism was the fact that many of them worked for the Enclave after the Great War , though even then it was hardly a partnership like the one have in the show .
