[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDUizmD5cvQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDUizmD5cvQ) Teaser / trailer for the second season, which premiers December 17th. It’s incredible what passionate people can do when given a lot of money - I’m really looking forward to this one! ---

Wow. Potentially a lot to unpack. Fallout geeks will just esplode. I know, because I done esploded. ---

I know. I wanted to say more in the OP, but where do you begin? Vegas looks great, all the casinos are there, there’s Victor, Mr. House, the Legion, Novac (with Lucy in Dinky’s mouth!), the Kings, radscorpions, a VATS shot, and - Deathclaws! It’s the most faithful video game adaptation I’ve ever seen, done by people who have obviously played the games to death - a very welcome change from the usual half-assed adaptations. It’s supposed to take place about 15 years after the events of FNV. ---

It’s not the best time for being more a fan of Fallout 1 than New Vegas, but I’ll take it (I remember when we were lucky if there was 1 (one) somewhat watchable SF or Fantasy show AT ALL). Something that I don’t understand, I’ve been told that there are NCR troops in the trailer, but I thought that the NCR was no more? nuked into oblivion?. ---

I didn’t see any NCR troops in the trailer, but maybe I missed them. Could be just stragglers or a flashback, though. ---

Neither did I, but avid trailer watchers told me they are there, may be they’re mistaken ---

> [@Frodo](#): > > I’ve been told that there are NCR troops in the trailer, but I thought that the NCR was no more? nuked into oblivion? Just Shady Sands was nuked, right? That doesn’t mean the entire NCR is wiped out. As for NCR troops, there was online chatter about set leaks showing someone in NCR armor. I don’t think it’s from the trailer. ---

There are leaked set photos with NCR troopers. I’m glad S1 was so enjoyable, the trailer only makes me less likely to guard caution. I haven’t been into TV that much lately, by December I will. ---

If it’s just set photos, it’s probably impossible to know if it’s a remnant, part of a flashback, or something else. Not too surprising that they’d make an appearance of some kind. Weirder is that [Macaulay Culkin might be the new Caesar](https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/fallout-fans-think-theyve-uncovered-macaulay-culkins-mystery-role-its-huge/)… ---

The bit in the trailer where the female voice asks Lucy about who she is looking for–“Someone you care about or…”–may be at an NCR checkpoint. There’s a military style barracks tent in the background and the tone of the conversation to me is more like a cop asking questions than casual roadside meet up. I’m assuming from clues, the Mr. House ending will be considered canon now(Victor is still around) and the Legion and the NCR are still around but aren’t major factors. ---

[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/ECI3eCAxRGw/maxresdefault.jpg "Fallout Season Two Official Trailer | Prime Video") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECI3eCAxRGw) Official trailer. Again, too much to take in. Some highlights: The Kings are feral ghouls and it works. Macaulay Culkin’s in Caesar’s Legion. Norm’s been working out. Deathclaw versus power armor. And a voice that sounds suspiciously like Ron Perlman as a super mutant. The freakin’ locations are great - pulled straight from the game. Hell, everything’s pulled straight from the game. Most faithful adaptation ever. Having to wait until December 17th almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter. ---

Some excellent eye rolls and side-eye from the Ghoul in the trailer. Lucy: “I’m gonna bring him to justice.” Ghoul: 🙄 Lucy: “…you’d probably just tell me to shut the fudge up.” Ghoul: 🤨 ---

> [@Randolph](#): > > It’s supposed to take place about 15 years after the events of FNV. 15 years later but all the big players are still around… I think that’s a good decision in terms of giving fans what they want (to see all the FONV factions on the screen) but I wonder what “ending” FONV would have to have in order for all the factions to survive. ---

I think the Mr. House ending allows for the stalemate we see in the trailers… NCR exists but is weakened…. Legion exists….Securitrons got their upgrade. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fallout-season-2/1022293.md?page=2)
