typical case fall out In fashion, all it takes is one failed skill check to cause chaos. After last week’s episode sparked a civil war within the Brotherhood, this week’s episode sparked a major war across the Mojave as New Vegas’ current political backdrop continues to unravel. Or rather, it doesn’t feel clean. Our protagonist once again gets into a huge brawl in the desert and almost always causes it.
Let’s talk about the mayhem unleashed on “The Proligate.”
The common feature of all is fall out The story is a struggle between multiple factions for control of a region, and this show is certainly no exception. To sum up the end of this episode, the Legion goes from a factional stalemate to a bloody succession crisis over the dead body of Caesar. The Brotherhood’s civil war is about to erupt after Max smashes Paladin Xander’s skull in with an impromptu hammer. NCR continues to operate with unclear figures. Some version of House, or his will, is still pulling some strings in Las Vegas, and Hank may or may not be working with him, Vault-Tec, or himself.
typically also fall out As fashion, our protagonists all played a role in the beginning of all this conflict.
Lucy and Maximus caused this mess mainly with just good intentions. Lucy wanted to help bring the injured woman home. Her reward is to fall and be left on a cross until a ghoul comes to pick her up. Maximus wanted to stop Xander from mass-murdering children, thereby starting a civil war that he had been explicitly warned would result from Paladin’s death.
Many people feel the same way as ghouls and consider this to be confirmation of their belief in doing good in society. fall out The world is being punished, the wilderness is a cesspool of evil, and you must become evil or drown in the mud.
Both characters are already struggling in the aftermath of season one and the events of season two so far. I think this is most evident in Maximus. He had already become a more jaded and isolated character last week, disillusioned with the Brotherhood and looking for meaning again. Xander provided this meaning, but it was sad to see Maximus fall for it so easily. He saw in Xander the version of the Brotherhood he had once known, the version that had once inspired him. Their little day trip was exactly what he needed, until it took a turn for the worse.
Will he even be able to return to the Brotherhood or will he just run away? Returning to Quintus seems like a surefire way to be punished at best and killed for your mistakes at worst.
Lucy was never even given a moment to feel that her decision had paid off. The legionaries immediately punished her, killing the woman she had saved and leaving her to die on that cross. The ghoul who rescued her must be smiling, and she must be feeling like she’s proving once again that no matter how much she fails to have sex with her cousin or how many books she reads, she can’t survive outside the Vault.
What’s happening now, or at least what I expect to happen is that both Lucy and Maximus are planting seeds that will eventually bear fruit, and in Lucy’s case, they’re already bearing fruit. I wasn’t expecting a ghoul to come for Lucy. And despite his anger at being abandoned, his journey with Lucy shows that he is already beginning to bring out the inner soul of Cooper Howard that had been lost in time.
Unfortunately, Cooper Howard learned his own cruel lesson a long time ago, and I imagine that lesson will concern both his wife and what happens with his “mission” to kill Robert House. House is clearly aware of the conspiracy in some way, as evidenced by House’s appearance at Cooper’s friend’s ceremony, and clearly knows that some version of House is alive because of Cooper’s events. Fallout: New Vegas. Something goes horribly wrong on Cooper’s mission, and perhaps it will be the inciting event that robs him of his desire to save the world and propels him into the cold, bitter, nihilistic man he is now.
I liked the glimpses of a more heroic Cooper as the ghouls go searching for the NCR. All the new information about his past makes him even more interesting and a better character than before. A conversation with an NCR ranger suggests that it hasn’t been that long since Ghoul has been trying to become a better person. Despite trying to be better, he still wants to see a better world, and Lucy kindles the embers of that part of his personality.
This desire to save the world is what ultimately brings Lucy, Maximus, and Ghoul together, and will probably bring them all together in a normal good playthrough fall out fashion. In a world so tragic, fall out Always giving players/viewers a glimpse of something more wholesome.
fall out This is a literal hellscape of capitalism, a world created as a result of the unfettered operation of corporations that literally seem to have pushed the worst buttons in order to accumulate more power in what is left of the world. Whether it’s the Vault, the Legion, or some weird ghoul or mutant guy who runs a Bottlecap sweatshop that employs kids, this is a world built on exploitation.
of fall out The series always features selfish and evil characters who believe that power is right and exploit the weak and disadvantaged in order to accumulate more power. Good is not a meaningful vector in history, as Macaulay Culkin’s envoys believe. Unfortunately, just like in real life, fall out “ is filled with characters who feel justified and rewarded for this way of thinking, from small-time villains to wealthy tycoons like House.
part of the fun of something fall out The playthrough will determine whether your character resists this evil, and I’m sure the show will make that conflict just as important to the protagonists.
However, Thaddeus, who tries to save the child workers, and Maximus, who defends him, appear. Thus, the ghoul chooses to save Lucy. People who are disadvantaged and exploited are fall out When the boots of the powerful try to stomp on their necks, the world must do its best to protect itself, and more boots are about to appear in the land of New Vegas.
Lucy and Maximus will be somewhat disappointed in their adventures this episode, but that’s the mark of a good protagonist. You want to see them challenged and live up to their core moral beliefs. The biggest test for both is yet to come.
Or maybe everything will be resolved when Norm and his supermanager show up on the scene.
