The more distance I get from the fallout show the more holes my mind pokes in it, this one just came to mind while listening to some people on YouTube discuss it; The Scientist that kicks off the entire series escapes from The Enclave with cold fusion tech, by far one of the most revolutionary discoveries to ever grace the wasteland, and he is so close to them that he is able to walk in a White lab coat through the wilderness and barely gets dirt on it before bumping into the main character and starting the series. What the fuck is The Enclave doing during all of this? They have vertibirds, the most advanced power armor and weapons in the country and probably have access to things like spy satellites or other American Government remnant tech, why aren't they even trying to search for him? If this was the Enclave from the games the entire west coast would be on fire until they found what they were looking for, here its one turret and thats it.

@Shadowman311 They also outsourced it to six different bounty agencies across the wasteland and nobody but the Ghoul and the Brotherhood are after this guy
-
@weaf So the dudes who think all wastelanders are subhumans outsourced their most important asset retrieval mission to a bunch of dirty subhumans? That makes no sense, what can bounty hunters do that a bunch of genocidal spec ops dudes in X-02 tesla armor couldn't?
-
@Shadowman311 It also gets worse when you think about the first scene when Honcho digs the Ghoul out of the grave and outright says Wilzig is heading to Moldaver, which means the Enclave and everybody else should know this and instead of heading to her HQ to kill her they just do nothing
-
@weaf This can't be about keeping a low profile either, its made immediatly obvious that the Brotherhood knows full well that they still exist, and why aren't they more visible on the west coast now? The NCR is dead, they are a bunch of raiders now, perfect time to do some land grabbing and mutant murdering.

@BCE @weaf @mothersmurfer Episode 3 opens with a gratuitous mixed race kissing scene and doesn't get much better from there, I get why people said the series was massively frontloaded, but just given how braindead one of the most notoriously macchivellian factions in all the lore acts in said first 2 epsiodes, that front loading is clearly only skin deep.
-
@Shadowman311 @weaf It's waaay derivative is the problem.
@mothersmurfer and I were talking about it, and I made mention that if you played the game(s) that you'd have some issues with it (continuity/timeline/lore). Fallout is like my MAIN game ever since I discovered it in Iraq (New Vegas) and I replay it constantly... the show? Not bad (2 episodes in) but still, some problems with it.... like in #1 when the main Powerguuuurl gets stabbed, uses a stimpack, and walks around 10 minutes later like the stab didn't matter? Folks who don't know the game are going to be like "WTF!?!" whereas those of us who play 'get it'
-
@weaf The real reason for this was likely because they only had the budget to make functional T-60 power armor and couldn't afford to make both T-60 and X-01 as well, but if thats the case why even involve the Enclave aside from cheap name recognition? They could just imply that the scientist had somehow acquired the technology and then reveal in season 2 that it was from the Enclave, but instead they just name drop the literal remnant US military and then have them engage in zero military operations.
-
@weaf If you stole a military prototype from the lore accurate Enclave, nowhere in North America, maybe even the planet, would be safe, but here? nah, cold fusion is small fries, they have far more important matters to attend to, like burning puppies for some reason.
-
@Shadowman311 It would have been more interesting if Wilzig was former enclave and he was one of a bunch of people who got hired by Moldaver to dig through Vault-Tec facilities to recover her "lost" cold fusion tech and that attracts the attention of the Brotherhood.
