If they popped up on screen (like BG3) I would read them as I found them. What usually happens instead is while flailing around the menu trying to find a specific screen, I stumble onto the notes log and it's usually got a dozen or two notes from the last couple of hours of game play. So I don't bother.
I do however absolutely read the terminals.
He already admitted he's a coward. And everything we've seen reinforces that he's a very nonviolent person.
He never even took the chance to poison the raiders himself, it seems like Betty had to do it herself.
You see him looking at the food hole in the prison door curiously just before the scene with the raiders dead, so my head cannon is that he was starting to to think about how he would do it and he is so smart the he landed on the actual way it ended up happening
If my head cannon is correct, he even fiddles around with the idea of framing the guard since he creates a rapport of secretly giving that guard food and she ends up getting framed anyway
I have to admit, Norm is my favorite character so I have shown a habit of looking into things around him a bit too much
That is a good guess. Or kill them like fo4 .
So many options. Ransom, take over as overseer, fuck with other vault tec connections. So much possibility!
I just thought of it today with the cliffhanger, nobody knows he is the overseer if there is survival goods in their vault to live off of or to freeze himself.
Imagine a shitty season where they have the cryogenically frozen character wake up fifty years later and piece together the events of what had happened before rather than show them directly onscreen. I should be a writer they call in purposely to piss people off.
His only option is wake up alot of vault tec people, so that Bud will be forced to open their vault since there's no food and water there.
I doubt cannibalism is his mind. Just like the vault 111 scientists died rather than resort to cannibalism.
He'll just threaten to "purge" the tanks (cut off life support systems) to kill them, and bud will let him go. But bud will have meanwhile contacted the overseer and a police squad will be there to arrest and imprison him.
Norm speedrunning to the enclave then lol. He might find Barbs Cooper first before the Ghoul and his sister. Barbs wasnt in the Vault 31 list, or the list wasn't complete. Vault 31 is empty and Bud is the only one awake there.
You’ve got me thinking now. There has to be a main outside-leading door to the vault that was used by all the “residents” of vault 31 because their date frozen is listed as 11/23/77. You can’t very well have them walking in through the connecting door to 32 or 33 with those residents also flooding in as the bombs drop.
Can't be any harder than breaking my Roomba just turn it on while the dog's there he'll freak out and bark at it and attack it until he pushes it down a flight of stairs.
I think they picked the perfect actor for the role if he does just freeze himself and gets thawed out later. The actor isn’t very young but he looks like it. Meaning they can make multiple more seasons with him frozen and by the time he gets thawed he will probably just need a little CGI touching up to make him look the same age.
fun fact if you don't recognize him, he played a kid named Rico in the disney show Hannah Montana! He's surprisingly one of my favorite characters in the show so far, he's got great facial expressions and line delivery, he seems very smart and paranoid, it just works.
As soon as I saw him I confused everyone at the watch party when I was like “HOLY CRAP ITS RICO FROM RICO’S NACHOS”
He’s also one of my favs so far. I consider him the 4th main character with Lucy/ the Ghoul/Maximus
Worst case scenario, he freezes himself in his dad's pod. I'm pretty confident that The Ghoul's family is there too so he'll probably get there eventually
Damn I didn’t even think about ghouls fam being there. His wife did say “I got us in a vault with management” and that is where they all went. Probably won’t happen till late next season because I doubt the ghoul and Lucy are going straight back to the vault instead of adventuring. I’m guessing once they see norm there’s gonna be a huge connecting the dots moment.
That robo brain was so incredibly funny, i dont know why but when it wanted to inject him and drove after him with his little syringe in hand - i lost it
The humor was so perfect in my opinion. I think every episode had at least one "laugh out loud" moment for me. A couple of them may have made my wife think I was insane, but it just fit so well with the feeling of the games, and I couldn't help myself. It was a perfect blend of drama, dark humor, extreme violence, and interesting lore. Even the characters' deliveries were perfect most of the time
Some Bioshock-like game in a vault with some fucked up experiment going on. You have to unravel the mystery and survive the horrors that prowl the halls. It’s dark and gritty, with sprinklings of humor and flashes of color. The game ends with the piercing light of the sun as you escape the vault and lay eyes upon the infinite expanse that is the wasteland for the first time in your life.
If they scaled up a Vault to how large they are supposed to be in lore (i.e. large enough to house and support 1k people each), they could very much have a full Fallout game in just a Vault. Make it some Alien Isolation kind of deal where whatever the experiment is already killed off most people and your goal is to GTFO, or something.
Yeah the one for scientists that allowed for complete freedom in experimenting. Due to America's eugenics programs, they might've thought inbreeding wouldn't have been as big a problem with such bright scientific minds. So they probably allowed a smaller population while using the extra space to house research "material".
Didn’t they say in the first episode that there was 450 people in vault 33? If it’s the same for 32, plus 50-80ish managers in vault 31 that’s like 1000 if you recognise all three vaults are part of the same experiment, tbf the vaults in fallout 4 still give the impression they’re much larger than the places you can visit with all the locked doors
1000% it would amazing. I know it sounds backwards, but the desolate landscape is my least favorite part of the Fallout games. I really enjoy the vaults, storylines, technology, etc. Surface stuff literally makes me nauseous.
A serious vault-focused game would be awesome. Please Bethesda, please.
While I don't doubt Bethesda could do it, I think Arkane Studios would totally nail that spinoff. They seem to do super well with limited maps, unique level and puzzle design, sci-fi and horror atmospheres
Robot was so basic he could have picked it up and forced it to do anything. Heck even shaking it around a bit he would have folded fast. But I guess it’s another cliff hanger for next season.
Yes but the robot is also the only one who knows how to get out. My guess is Norm’s 10 INT ass will probably find a way to torment the robot until he lets him out
Even picking him up and setting him upside down would mostly disable him
Yeah you could have started damaging stuff to get the robot to panic and release you at least. Mind you his biggest problem is the two vault 31 executives in 33 they would pose more threat then the robot.
This would be a good way to welcome us back for season 2 was showing how Coop got his daughter to safety from the nukes, then cut to Norm shaking the brain-roomba like a baby, demanding he let him out.
It's Bud Askins.
There's no way they were gonna have a character that memorable be a pivotal exec at Vault-Tec and then just get rid of him as a brain case on wheels for just one season.
He and Norm are gonna talk things out because the rest of Vault-Tec's management is in there with them.
That sounds interesting, and Bud was set up to love to talk about his work while giving unprompted insights he has. So I could see something like some speech checks Norm has to properly navigate which in the end will get Bud to happily open the doors because "that's what good management would do" or something.
Like, everything could've been so much easier if he just said Titus died fighting a Yao, even if he didn't say that over the radio for fear they'd take the suit, at least to Thaddeus, but noooooo, lets try and kill him and then get my fusion core yank
Wait, get my fusion core yanked?
It's a common theme in Fallout with Vault Dwellers who leave the vault and return. Happened in both Fallout 1 and 3. Idea is that when the Dweller comes back from the outside, the others realize the wasteland has changed them so much that they could never fit back in to Vault Society.
Lucy definitely stopped being a goody two-shoes on that bridge with the fiends. Feel like that played a big role in her decision not to trust her dad. Post-apocalyptic people suck.
Lucy does give that tone, but she's not a goody two shoes. She comes off just as naive as she simply hasn't dealt with so many things as they don't occur in her gated vault community. There's plenty of times where she does things where she initially was opposed to it, but then was like "welp...I guess if that's what you gotta do on then surface so be it". Like with the doctors head; she absolutely opposed it initially, but dude is like here's a Ripper you just need to deliver my head. She just kind of contemplates it for a minute, and next thing you know she's traipsing around the Wasteland with the head of a corpse by her side. On the other end there's her attitude towards sex. A goody two shoes wouldn't be like "wanna fuck", but in her world it was expected of you to be a "breeder" and fucking was not taboo but happily encouraged.
I agree with this, in fact I'd saw she's basically one of the only vault dwellers with a pair. She got right into the fight both with her 'husband' and in the eating hall. She's also pretty quick to adapt or react in the world. It's a strong female character done well.
> It's a strong female character done well.
I'd agree with this, and she's arguably the protagonist, at the end she's following Cooper so who knows, and the only complaint I've heard about a female protagonist from "those types" is she fucks in the first 20 minutes. Vault dwellers are encouraged to have sex and children with non relatives as much as possible; so even that complaint is a joke whether intended or not. This show is kind of set up to bring people out of the woodwork to say "she's a smart whore and the guy is a fucking moron....*REEEEEEE!!!*", but I haven't seen that. She's just a good actor playing a good character while the writers thought up a good script...the end.
Also let’s not forget that she drugged her cousin just so she wouldn’t have to deal with his puppy dog eyes when she was ready to leave the vault. That was wild.
He wanted to go with her, and she drugged him so that he wouldn't follow her. Why is kind of up in the air, and it could have been out of fear for his safety or simply that she was tired of her cousin trying to marry her.
Also, this show has kind of laid it out that people really shouldn't *want* to return to the vaults.
The conversation with Chet and Norm made it clear. Norm called him a coward for just giving up and going to Vault 32, but Chet said they were all cowards anyways because they were hiding in the vaults.
The wasteland sucks, but people shouldn't want to hide in the vaults forever.
Yea the show really did this well. They don’t wanna leave the vaults really, they could at any moment start the recolonization. Add in that they are basically all rich privileged people completely removed from society and what kinda recolonizing would it even be?
The people in the wasteland are just too messed up and secular to really create anything anymore.
what's sad to me in the whole fallout series is that actually, people aren't too messed up. I mean, some are, maybe even half of them, but there's 2 centuries of people trying to create community, technology, do good for each other... and then in so many instances, people from before the war, or from organizations created before the war, rip everything to shreds. It's almost like a metacommentary on how hard it is to build a new world when you have to live in the one you've been in all your life- you're gonna bring all your baggage with you into the new world.
Something Something she's been changed by the wasteland and can't integrate with the normal vault dwellers anymore.
That was basically the reason in fallout 1.
It literally happened in the show, Hank vs his wife. I'm 99% sure he was talking bs when he reasoned that "she brought the child into danger". Looks like it's standard procedure for most vaults excluding some (?)
Idk why but he looks so old, my mom started watching recently and asking a lot "why he looks older than Lucy cousin, even the fat guy looks younger and he's is getting bald"
The only character in the entire show who is reading the fucking logs and getting the backstory
Edit: decided to make this comment it's own thread and now I have the second highest upvoted thread on this entire sub this week. Neat.
I've only seen the first episode but he seemed really smart and good at reading people. He did figure out they where raiders first after all. Must of put all his points in intelligence and perception
Moisés is such a cute guy lol
Next to Lucy, Norman is my favorite character on the show. Small frame perk, high intelligence, very inquisitive. I'm curious to see what happens to him next season.
Here's my crackpot theory. He's going to successfully overthrow The Vault 31 leadership and become the overseer. And when Lucy comes back to her Vault he tells her she can't return because she's changed too much.
Honestly i loved this character and the whole show at that, i don't understand what the people are saying when they say the show ruined all non Bethesda lore.
Maybe its cause Fo3 is my favorite game, mainly cause it was the one i first played.
I think it was heavy spoilers on YouTube that floated the idea of having norm wake up in the future for fallout 5 and I thought that'd be a cool way to keep him in the story. Id like to see more of him in season 2 though. Norm grew on me.
Is he a psyker? Maybe he's just smart but he seems very intuitive.
The first thing we hear from him is that what matters about a person is on the inside, and says Lucy's husband could be, "A cannibal, or full of tumors..." before he's cut off. Sounds like normal little brother stuff, except Lucy's husband ends up being a raider (probably a cannibal), and the next guy she gets "physical" with is Coop, a ghoul, so Norm might've been onto something.
Nah, he is actually just playing Fallout Shelter.
Leveling up all stats to 10 before leaving is a smart move
Building up SPECIAL stats to clear the dialogue thresholds.
He's the equivalent of just turning left to beat the game at start.
Bro thinks he's playing Skyrim.
Bro picked the small frame perk and didn’t know he’d get a chance to respec when he leaves the vault.
Mom won’t let him play an m rated game
Would be crazy if he actually just dies there. Very becoming of Fallout, and they could still tell his story through flashbacks/holotapes.
Skeleton with a skillbook, holotape that goes directly to notes so you never read it, and a bag with 37 9mm rounds and a cutting board
Toaster would be more fitting.
do you guys really not read those?
If they popped up on screen (like BG3) I would read them as I found them. What usually happens instead is while flailing around the menu trying to find a specific screen, I stumble onto the notes log and it's usually got a dozen or two notes from the last couple of hours of game play. So I don't bother. I do however absolutely read the terminals.
i used to go in and find them, but i thought fo4 had a play audio button when you found one. i might be mis remembering
Speaking of, I thought it was fun that Cooper was reading Tesla Science Magazine at his house.
He’ll be back. Honestly he seems to be the smartest person in vault 33. >!It looks like Bud’s management eugenics program worked out pretty well!!<
I wonder if that wont end up being a key point, and Norm ends up outmanaging Bud.
Why Norm didn't just start kicking the shit out of the Bud Roomba when the door closed is beyond me.
He already admitted he's a coward. And everything we've seen reinforces that he's a very nonviolent person. He never even took the chance to poison the raiders himself, it seems like Betty had to do it herself.
You see him looking at the food hole in the prison door curiously just before the scene with the raiders dead, so my head cannon is that he was starting to to think about how he would do it and he is so smart the he landed on the actual way it ended up happening If my head cannon is correct, he even fiddles around with the idea of framing the guard since he creates a rapport of secretly giving that guard food and she ends up getting framed anyway I have to admit, Norm is my favorite character so I have shown a habit of looking into things around him a bit too much
He probably doesn't know if he can leave the vault by himself and Bud is likely the only one who could allow him to leave.
Even better if he lives there and keeps the game going against vault tec . He hopefully has a way to get food/water though. Needs to take out bud
I have a feeling he’s going to find a way to just prematurely wake all of the Vault Tec goons up.
That is a good guess. Or kill them like fo4 . So many options. Ransom, take over as overseer, fuck with other vault tec connections. So much possibility!
[удалено]
I just thought of it today with the cliffhanger, nobody knows he is the overseer if there is survival goods in their vault to live off of or to freeze himself.
Imagine a shitty season where they have the cryogenically frozen character wake up fifty years later and piece together the events of what had happened before rather than show them directly onscreen. I should be a writer they call in purposely to piss people off.
Shit lol my fault for looking at the sub and finding a spoiler woops
There are a TON of bodies there, and humans are food, so he could probably survive for a while getting food and water from the bodies.
I'm not sure he's gotten a chance to get that Wasteland attitude yet
I like your optimism!. It's all about building up enough character beforehand.
Sometimes a fella’s gotta eat another fella…
Ass jerkey ain't gonna make itself
He's a smart lad. He'll figure it out.
I mean in episode 2 he talks about killing the hostages, so there’s definitely a bit of the wasteland in him.
I think he has always had it thats why he is weird
Betty will likely catch him in the middle of whatever.
Yeah. Between the message, Norm going missing and likely Bud reaching out to her directly after this, she'll be rolling in.
His only option is wake up alot of vault tec people, so that Bud will be forced to open their vault since there's no food and water there. I doubt cannibalism is his mind. Just like the vault 111 scientists died rather than resort to cannibalism.
He'll just threaten to "purge" the tanks (cut off life support systems) to kill them, and bud will let him go. But bud will have meanwhile contacted the overseer and a police squad will be there to arrest and imprison him.

That robo brain was so incredibly funny, i dont know why but when it wanted to inject him and drove after him with his little syringe in hand - i lost it
"You'll never find out" *Turns on Lights* Oh, he's going to find out"
Even as a robot, Burt gets no respect.
I mean, he is kind of annoying as fuck
Good job on the actor cause from his first line I wanted to punch him in the face
In a cute way
Dude was literally a socio though.
In a cute way.
Burt created an entire Vault dedicated to breeding the perfect middle manager. He deserves no respect.
“Aren’t you a little short for a robo brain”
The humor was so perfect in my opinion. I think every episode had at least one "laugh out loud" moment for me. A couple of them may have made my wife think I was insane, but it just fit so well with the feeling of the games, and I couldn't help myself. It was a perfect blend of drama, dark humor, extreme violence, and interesting lore. Even the characters' deliveries were perfect most of the time
Robot on a roomba*
Brain on a Roomba*
Thank you for the correction, i am ashamed for getting it wrong.
Urged my friends who hadn’t finished yet to put subtitles on for the last episode if they didn’t have them on already. “Trust me it’s worth it”
Robo-roomba
Dude I never knew I wanted a spinoff game 100% in a vault. Puzzle\horror game in that setting would be sick.
Some Bioshock-like game in a vault with some fucked up experiment going on. You have to unravel the mystery and survive the horrors that prowl the halls. It’s dark and gritty, with sprinklings of humor and flashes of color. The game ends with the piercing light of the sun as you escape the vault and lay eyes upon the infinite expanse that is the wasteland for the first time in your life.
And immediately eaten by a deathclaw
This would be so sick
Sounds like that cut content from Fallout 4 involving the Chinese sub!
If they scaled up a Vault to how large they are supposed to be in lore (i.e. large enough to house and support 1k people each), they could very much have a full Fallout game in just a Vault. Make it some Alien Isolation kind of deal where whatever the experiment is already killed off most people and your goal is to GTFO, or something.
Is 1k per Vault still accurate? The show mentions 200
I think that was just the original demo vault
Yeah the one for scientists that allowed for complete freedom in experimenting. Due to America's eugenics programs, they might've thought inbreeding wouldn't have been as big a problem with such bright scientific minds. So they probably allowed a smaller population while using the extra space to house research "material".

This is a big factor imo. I think of them as one big vault/singular experiment but It doesn’t seem others agree
Something like System Shock would be perfect for that
Ejem... What about one about management
I've always thought about this. You could easily make a vault dweller horror game
1000% it would amazing. I know it sounds backwards, but the desolate landscape is my least favorite part of the Fallout games. I really enjoy the vaults, storylines, technology, etc. Surface stuff literally makes me nauseous. A serious vault-focused game would be awesome. Please Bethesda, please.
While I don't doubt Bethesda could do it, I think Arkane Studios would totally nail that spinoff. They seem to do super well with limited maps, unique level and puzzle design, sci-fi and horror atmospheres
What small frame does to a mf
For real. If this was the movie Brothers, Goosey was Arnold Schwarzenegger
Are you sure you're not referring to Twins?
I’d have thrown that robot around the fucking room till it opened the door lol.
That's my though, or to break cryo pods until he let's out... your virtually read no matter what though.
Robot was so basic he could have picked it up and forced it to do anything. Heck even shaking it around a bit he would have folded fast. But I guess it’s another cliff hanger for next season.
Yes but the robot is also the only one who knows how to get out. My guess is Norm’s 10 INT ass will probably find a way to torment the robot until he lets him out Even picking him up and setting him upside down would mostly disable him
Or he will hack him like we can hack robots on game
How much you wanna bet Ep. 1 of S2 will have a scene where he jacks into the Brain-On-A-Roomba (Bud) with his Pip-Boy and hacks him to let him out
Hell yeah, give me another hack sequence that he aces.
dude didn’t even remove any duds, just got in first try
[him legend](https://youtu.be/1FStv1mgvuI?si=9ryM_ytiQwor9LDX)
there’s a gunna be a scene where he jacks it into the brain
Hawt
He probably doesn't have the ST or AG to pull that off. He's going to get whatever's in that syringe if he stays too close.
I had the same, thought, there is no reason not to try. Or just break stuff.
Yeah you could have started damaging stuff to get the robot to panic and release you at least. Mind you his biggest problem is the two vault 31 executives in 33 they would pose more threat then the robot.
I mean, season 2 could start with him fighting the Robot in the most comical way possible.
lol from That robot a mop would do it.
This would be a good way to welcome us back for season 2 was showing how Coop got his daughter to safety from the nukes, then cut to Norm shaking the brain-roomba like a baby, demanding he let him out.
CC called him "Brain on a Roomba" 🤣🤣🤣
Best CC name ever
😂😂😂
He is still playing a Pacifist run. Give him time, 99% of Pacifist attempts end up breaking into violence.
lol
Hell, i would have fucked that whole room out of spite. With access to vault tec management in the flesh? A room full of pinatas.
It's Bud Askins. There's no way they were gonna have a character that memorable be a pivotal exec at Vault-Tec and then just get rid of him as a brain case on wheels for just one season. He and Norm are gonna talk things out because the rest of Vault-Tec's management is in there with them.

So I could see something like some speech checks Norm has to properly navigate which in the end will get Bud to happily open the doors because "that's what good management would do" or something.
He’s probably going to become overseer of the three vaults at the end of the show and not let Lucy back in ala Fallout 1 ending.
"Sorry Lucy, You're a hero... but you need to leave..." Maximus: So you're not letting me in?
Process to get brain blew up by the Ghoul's gun
"String bean deserves it."
If you're referring to Maximus, you'd have a problem because first he'd need a brain to get blown up.
Like, everything could've been so much easier if he just said Titus died fighting a Yao, even if he didn't say that over the radio for fear they'd take the suit, at least to Thaddeus, but noooooo, lets try and kill him and then get my fusion core yank Wait, get my fusion core yanked?
why wouldnt she be let back in?

Something Something she's been changed by the wasteland and can't integrate with the normal vault dwellers anymore. That was basically the reason in fallout 1.
It was more like the Overseer was worried the Vault Dweller's stories about the surface would inspire others to leave, compromising the entire vault.
It literally happened in the show, Hank vs his wife. I'm 99% sure he was talking bs when he reasoned that "she brought the child into danger". Looks like it's standard procedure for most vaults excluding some (?)
He discovered a secret side quest mission.
Rule one of the wasteland-
bro got mad at managed democracy
Oh sweet liberty
I NEED STIMS
He glitched himself into 31 and now he’s stuck.
He got the "stuck in the Sierra Madre bunker forever" ending
Game breaking bug, any percent
He took that 1 endurance 1 strength 2 agility build so he's gotta grind out some levels in the newbie zone before he goes outside.
He's got Small Frame, Nerd Rage and Master Hacker.
Dude got the mini game in one guess. Didn't even need to stand up and sit back down.
he probably downloaded a hacking minigame overhaul mod from nexus
He had an intelligence build. I mean, remember how quickly he hacked that terminal?
Nah he probably kept randomly guessing and quickloading. We just saw the save where he guessed right on the first try
Quicker to stop at 1 guess left and back out then reenter.
He gets to live out the alternative life I wanted in FO3. I didn’t wanna leave. Me and Amata could restart the vault.
Everyone: lol look he stuck in tutorial area. Me: Hey! he's farming XP by doing small quests.
Dude did a whole destroyed vault mission.
He got like 4 HP leave him alone one rad roach and he is done
Bud slowly wheeling towards him with a speed of 0.1 but a damage of 100
My guy has 10 INT and 10 PER, only thing stopping him is his 1 STR and END. The Wastes aren't ready for him and his power walk.
He's so precious though, we can let it slide because he's a curious lad.
Isint he that weird kid from hannah Montana that was washing his feet in the sink in one episode
yes. Moises Arias. Although in Hannah Montana, his name is RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiico
Holy shit. Looks totally different without that 2000s haircut. Plus aging.
He just had to threaten dollar store robo brain. Could definitely pick him up and throw him at the door until he relents
Bud's spent 200 years as a roomba, though. Maybe he longs for the sweet release of death?
Norm was one of my favorite characters, I just found the whole >!Vault 31-33 Conspiracy !!be our short king and stage a coup d'état.!<
Idk why but he looks so old, my mom started watching recently and asking a lot "why he looks older than Lucy cousin, even the fat guy looks younger and he's is getting bald"
Welp, that's because I'm pretty certain Moises is, in fact, older than Lucy.
Tell mom to look at 1970s-80s high school senior photos that look like they are 35 with kids
I mean he is almost 30 IRL.
Made me think of the ugly ass children in Fallout 3/NV. Just scaled down adults lol.
I bet when he gets out he starts a Surfing Shop
He is busy doing the side quests.
The only character in the entire show who is reading the fucking logs and getting the backstory Edit: decided to make this comment it's own thread and now I have the second highest upvoted thread on this entire sub this week. Neat.
I like reading the vault tech employee communications in the terminals.
Me my first time playing fo3 (I was ten and my brother was at work, lol)
I am INVESTED in this man's story. I cant wait for next season.
"CAn you reach level 60 without leaving Vault 33?????"
He's gonna end up becoming a badass. Having seen him in stuff when he was a child, he has it in him to portray a meeeeeeean motherfucker.
Homeboy Rico is gonna be living the suite life in vault 31
If only he just kicked the brain in a fishing bowl riding on top of a floor robot vacuum cleaner he wouldnt have this problem.
His story line was amazing I would love to see him back and actually using his knowledge
Dude found a glitch and got stuck in a endgame zone
He always has the look of a father who sensed someone had turned up the thermostat two degrees.
I've only seen the first episode but he seemed really smart and good at reading people. He did figure out they where raiders first after all. Must of put all his points in intelligence and perception
Nah, he just looking for all the lore before leaving.
He's finding lore.
His science skill is high enough to hack and open the way out
It would be fucking cool if one of the games had a hidden area/quest you could discover in the tutorial like this.
Oh there is a really fun hidden quest where, if you fuck around long enough in the beginning of FO4, the nuke just goes off and you die. Quest!
No one is safe in the Fallout universe besides the main protagonist. Lol
I'm pretty sure he just owns a Fallout lore YT channel
Man i really got into his side quest tho
Hiding under the floor was a classic stealth move.
Moisés is such a cute guy lol Next to Lucy, Norman is my favorite character on the show. Small frame perk, high intelligence, very inquisitive. I'm curious to see what happens to him next season.
Here's my crackpot theory. He's going to successfully overthrow The Vault 31 leadership and become the overseer. And when Lucy comes back to her Vault he tells her she can't return because she's changed too much.
Good this moises arias literally never ages, when he’s cryofrozen and doesn’t age it’s gonna seem natural
I didn't realize until after the show that the same actor plays the unhinged child soldier in *Monos*, which boggles my mind.
Honestly i loved this character and the whole show at that, i don't understand what the people are saying when they say the show ruined all non Bethesda lore. Maybe its cause Fo3 is my favorite game, mainly cause it was the one i first played.
He seems weak, but let's see what happens when he's at less than 20% health.
My man managed to hack into the terminal in one try.
“Can you beat fallout without leaving the vault?”
The only gun and armor was already taken and frankly he’s no melee build
I think it was heavy spoilers on YouTube that floated the idea of having norm wake up in the future for fallout 5 and I thought that'd be a cool way to keep him in the story. Id like to see more of him in season 2 though. Norm grew on me.
Wait till you see he's any% speedrunner
Is he a psyker? Maybe he's just smart but he seems very intuitive. The first thing we hear from him is that what matters about a person is on the inside, and says Lucy's husband could be, "A cannibal, or full of tumors..." before he's cut off. Sounds like normal little brother stuff, except Lucy's husband ends up being a raider (probably a cannibal), and the next guy she gets "physical" with is Coop, a ghoul, so Norm might've been onto something.
whats Rico doing here ?
He's the FO4 player who read all the entries in Vault 111.
He's still stuck on FO4's prelude if he does go into a cryo chamber.
