    Some of my thoughts:

    spoiler

    Caesar’s note was very true to his characterisation in the game I feel. Looking forward to seeing for the Culkmiseter next season, the ‘Caesar’s palace’ joke was good

    And whoever I was arguing with last week that Hank was working for the Enclave not House Ha! in your face told ya

    Cooper getting arrested by HUAC for being a commie after giving the president cold fusion was great. Shouts out to the youtuber I watched last week who predicted barb and coop’s divorce was a show

    Not sure how I feel about Coop getting dues ex machnica’d of the pole last ep by the Perlman super mutant if they weren’t going to show up this ep. But obviously setting things up for next season, seems that the ‘phase 2’ Steph initiated is something to do with FEV. Maybe the resident’s of Vault 33 get FEVed and join up with Perlman and his mutant crusade and we’ll see Chet and the rest a super-mutants. And I guess whatever Hank’s agents are up to involves this in some way(docile mind-controlled super-mutants as the next step for humanity?)

    Really hope they re-design the super-mutants for next season, I know we only got a literal glimpse of Perlman but he really just looked like a big dude in make-up, I want them gnarly looking like the talking heads in F1&2

    Also what was up with House’s big screen being [No Signal] towards the end, was his consciousness ‘in’ the pip-boy Coop left in the cryogenics area? you’d think he’d be broadcasting to it from the big terminal rather than actually moving to the smaller device

    I wonder if next season will still be Nevada focused and feature the Legion/NCR conflict heavily, with the enclave, House and mutants getting involved in it, or if we’ll follow Coop going to going to Colorado(which could provide some interesting stuff not super tied to the games as the state hasn’t been shown in a canon game(its featured in the non-canon fallout tactics and the unreleased Van Buren)). Probably both and they’ll link up somehow

    As for the post-credit scene, why is Dayne still following Quintus? its not really realistic to have that Brotherhood chapter have the resources to build a liberty prime seeing as they we’re having to call on the Yosemite and Coronado chapters for help, although maybe the Nevada chapter won the little BoS civil war and absorbed the surviving members/resources of the other’s, although Quintus’ speech seems to imply otherwise, but I guess there’s could be a half-built or deactivated one somewhere in Nevada, as the picture of house earlier in the reason seeming to appear in front of the legs of a LP could imply


    Anyone if this Is this supposed to be a specific real-world location?

      According to my fast glancing over people comments on the internet it’s in the rockies in colorado (people are theorising NORAD) but the building is based on the brooklyn army terminal in, well, brooklyn.

      That was me and I am still not sure it’s enclave he is working with. Also wasn’t the mind control project at least begun by house? Maybe they diverged in their own interest be he at least was at one point working with him.

      Also that Caesars Palace joke was fucking hilarious indeed. Also also I posted a similar thread last night.

        I guess you could still debate it, but the enclave branded pip-boy in his keepsake box, his radio message going to the enclave base, chinches it for me at least

        Perhaps he was a house agent who diverted, but as I was saying last week his actions in the meeting between Barb and the House body-double screamed ‘Enclave spy’ to me. And you’d think a house agent would be a little more protected from being drugged, and then seduced by a Canadian maid within House’s own casino

        Yes House at least initially developed the mind-control tech, similarly Vault-Tec invented the cold fusion diode, that doesn’t preclude the Enclave having spies in both organisations observing the R&D incorporating any useful tech into their own plans if they can get their hands on it

        Ah I didn’t see your thread when making this one my b
