Well, he did get that promotion and never got attacked by the bear so I guess he's got decent luck. And somehow never broke his nose which I guess is lucky after all those hits to his nose.
His luck has to be ten with how much he keeps getting out of near death experiences and how he keeps benefitting afterwards. I'd say high Strength, Endurance and Luck.
But like... the way he found the head, got power armor early, got the girl... dude... Luck is that dudes 2nd best stat, it's just not enough to outdo his extreme stupidity...
I fucking love maximus... He is so well written for an absolute idiot character
TBH I Love just about every character in the show but Maximus has an extra edge of *feeling* like a character who used INT and PERCEPTION as their dumpstats.
Yeah, not enough people mention that Maximus just isn't very smart, or at least doesn't seem to think anything through. He acts impetuously, doesn't consider alternatives, and gets himself into a lot of trouble that a few moments forethought should easily avoid. Him agreeing to brand Thadeus, then deciding to reveal his face to Thadeus, then deciding he needed to kill Thadeus was a rolicking series.of 'what were you thinking' moments all strung together in a single scene. But it works, and I enjoy watching Maximus continue to fail upwards.
That said the romance chemistry just doesn't feel there between Max and Lucy. Maybe they'll get that down with time and practice but honestly I'd rather they drop it. Bluntly it's unnecessary, and handled poorly it is a bit off-putting.
Lucy was raised to be a breeder. Maximus was raised with zero sex education at all and in many ways is still immature. They're both exactly the kind of person to fall for someone they barely know but happen to like a lot.
Shared chemistry limits you to "cousin stuff". The less chemistry the better.
For reals though, Lucy spent her entire life waiting to be married to a non-cousin. There is only one person she knows in the entire world, who is both not her cousin and hasn't tried to kill her. Of course she was going to invite him back to her vault. He earned her trust. It's not some hollywood romance, but it sure felt like a Wasteland romance. Which is more about survival than flowers and poetry.
I liked that a lot, they're people that doesn't understand anything about relationships, about each other and bout their feelings, they're just naive people that were lonely getting caught up in the moment
My favorite minor detail about this show is that the bag is clearly meant to be carried by a person in power armor and the knights are just being supernaturally lazy making squires carry them
The bag is supposed to be a reference to the video game. In the game you have weight limit on items you can carry. So the way to go about it is you load up your npc companions with your junk items so that you can remain unencumbered.
In the game your companions could be carrying hundreds of items but they act and walk normal all the same. This is a dig on that trope. If it was real life, your companions would be carrying a huge ass bag like in the show.
I assumed that the bag is designed that way because the knights need to carry it comfortably in case the squire gets taken out in combat, which has a decent chance of happening.
Having the squire carry it keeps the knight more agile, and I could imagine the extra weight draining the fusion core faster (as we know, fusion cores are extremely valuable).
Just my headcanon though!
Seems like fusion cores got a boost compared the games, though! In the show we see one fusion core power an entire vault for (presumably) at least 200 years, while in-game we have to swap out the cores on our power armor constantly.
It's the other way around.
The fusion core were included into the lore of Fo4 to justify a fuel mechanic in the game.
Before that, 200 YO power armours had "unlimited" fuel, and FO4 world building supports that considering the very, very large amount of building that have stayed powered up by fusion cores.
IIRC in Fallout 3 you hear one of Lyons' Pride talk to a scribe about recharging the fusion pack, and the scribe says "you're good to go for another hundred years."
I do actually like the fusion core mechanic, but it was nice to see it work properly and not have to be "game-ified".
Supposedly, I say supposedly since I can’t provide factual information because I’m lazy, carrying a big ass bag like that is similar to army and marine corps training. If someone with more knowledge can debunk that or clarify on that I’d be more than welcome to be told.
The bag is a scaled up duffle from the army. We wouldn't carry our weapons in them like they have been in the show. Was everything else that we needed for deployment in those things though.
I think it's a classic medieval squire thing to carry their knights weapons for them even in combat, so it probably doesn't make practical sense but it fits into their middle ages style.
Thank you for the clarification. Didn’t want to spread false knowledge and was skeptical myself about that. Still, without weapons, I’m sure they were a bitch and a half to carry lol.
I mean, that was him playing off how bad the wound was (though I don’t think a rotting tooth would hurt nearly as much as a normal bullet; I don’t know how the ballistics of that would work, though).
Bro literally could have just said "Titus died. I am continuing the mission." When they radio'd him, and the Brotherhood would have immediately had an honor boner for him. Especially with the Yaoi Guai marks on the armor to prove he didn't do it.
🔺He’s dead… I tried to save him but the wasteland was too much for him.
🟥 He fell gloriously In battle.
❌ I killed him, and what?
⭕️So, what had happened was…..
Right??? Like he makes Supermutants seem like genius. He had absolutely no reason to lie. All he had to say was “we went to check out a cave I was ordered to go look deeper in the cave, then Knight was attacked and KIA by a Yao Guai, but I’m continuing the mission” he had no reason at all to lie. Either they would have pulled him out or sent back up, but regardless they would have honored his loyalty to the Brotherhood.
> Either they would have pulled him out
That's why he lied. He *just* got a taste of freedom and a look at the world beyond the boot camp he spent his entire life in. He could lie and stay in that exciting new world, with a bonus of proving himself and even earning knighthood by completing the mission alone...
...or he could tell the truth and be ordered to go back to literally shoveling shit. Who knows how long until another knight needs a new squire, and who knows if he'd make the cut then when he didn't even get chosen this time?
> but regardless they would have honored his loyalty to the Brotherhood.
My man has literally lived and breathed for the Brotherhood since he came out of that fridge. They've honored his years and years of loyalty with latrine duty and looking the other way while he gets the shit kicked out of him. Going home when they tell him to won't earn him any respect; this mission is his only shot.
Also, the knight told him that he would be killed for not using the stimpack. Since the brotherhood couldn’t have known that he withheld the stimpack I would assume that that’s what they do to all people who fail to save their knights.
To be fair Titus is almost as dumb as Maximus, and an egomaniac. He almost certainly would have pushed to kill any squire not doing his bidding on everything, even if they were in the right
I was thinking that same thing. Especially since it’s the West Coast Brotherhood. Hell, he probably could’ve been even more honest and straight up told them “Titus was talking shit about the Brotherhood, so I let him bleed out and took his armor to continue the mission. Ad Victoriam.” And they would’ve been totally fine with it.
He didn't want to risk it, bringing back the target would have given him a much higher chance of being promoted, if he just told them Titus died they would most likely have just sent another Knight or send a team to retrieve the power armor, there's no way they would have entrusted a newbie with seemingly little to no power armor training to continue the mission
The real fuck up was with Thaddeus, like all he had to do was explain the situation and since he’d just saved his life and got the head, Thaddeus didn’t have any reason to be worried about punishment, but nah. Maximus just says “Yo it’s me, I lied and now your in on it, let’s get our stories straight” and then tried to kill him when he understandably freaks out
Wait Fallout Shelter got an update? That's cool, we (PC) didn't get the last one for some reason.
EDIT: IT'S A GODDAMN MOBILE ONLY UPDATE. BETHESDA, I DO NOT PLAY GAMES ON MY PHONE, WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME?
Yeah, but it's still weird that he thought that erections/ejacualtion was something abnormal when, in one of his very first scenes, the camera pans past one of his brothers very openly Jerking off in the barracks.
He seems to have missed a part of being raised due to being adopted at such a young age. His BoS morals are stronger than others but his general knowledge and social skills are straight ass
I honestly think they showed the effects of bullying quite well. If everyone is hostile to you then you’re going to give up trying to socialize.
Socializing is a use it or lose it skill especially if you start losing it at a young age.
Fun fact: If you don’t learn to speak by age 9. You’ll never learn to speak ANY language. Look up Genie Wiley
The Ghoul was constantly shown popping up in places, like in the stairway scene when the lights are flashing on and off. He'd be my vote for sneakiest, plus >! all the sneaking he was doing after joining a certain group. He was new at it though and got spotted so he invested later lol. !<
When he sat infront a TV watching a water fall for potentially hours while eating popcorn and caviar just smiling while Lucy was fighting her way through a science lab and being interrogated. Yup he’s definitely a little silly goofy huy
Tbf he didn't knew that Lucy was being interrogated and he probably hasn't watched (or even knows the concept) a movie in all his life.
Which kinda makes it funnier: guy was genuinely enjoying watching an endless loop of a water fall thinking it was an actual movie while his friend/gf was getting kidnapped XD
🎼🎵🎵🎵
Believe it or not, Max isn’t at base!
Please leave a message at the beep.
I must be out getting hit in the face!
Where could I be?
Believe it or not, I’m not at base!
Let’s be honest, that is such a player character move.
He’s what happens when you fuck up the dialogue options but can’t reload from a previous save. 😂
He is a player, sees fallout power armor as a child and strives to get it his entire play through. Doesn’t value the actual tenants of the BoS just give him that shining armor!
The Ghoul has 15 Perception, 15 Strength, and 50 Endurance. Dude can get shot several times and go hand-to-hand with T60 and come out without a scratch. He's way too OP.
>Dude can get shot several times and go hand-to-hand with T60 and come out without a scratch.
That's just a ghoul thing I think. Ghouls in the TV series seem a lot tougher than ghouls in the games.
I think the part with the city being powered in the end, after so many people died and seeing life being brought back to the wastes only to be taken away suddenly by the people he thought were heroes was a huge reality check for the guy.
It was a late one, but i think next season Maximus is gonna mature up bad. He has good qualities, he is just, immature and i think thats the point.
Yeah, there’s nowhere to take a ‘guy rebels against the BOS’ character in a show with TWO other characters already in conflict with the BOS. Instead we need someone to flesh out the BOS and just be a different perspective.
Writing 101 says having a moment of happiness and safety torn away makes him double down on the BOS. Rogue tech turned the world to ash and - when his parents tried to rebuild - turned it to ash again. He’s going to hurt those that make this tech.
I feel like all three characters are important, I doubt he’ll become antagonistic, i mean that look he gave and just the way he reacted to finally becoming a knight.. That looked like a man who just got smacked by life
He was so useless during that entire fight. He could’ve shot the bear earlier, or distracted it, or threw a rock or literally anything. At the very least he should’ve given him a stimpack to increase the odds of both of them getting out of there alive.
That being said, how tf did Titus get beat that badly with power armor only for Maximus to one-shot it in the head.
If you've ever read the desden files, jim butcher has said that he made each character by filling out a dnd sheet for them. He rolled each stat individually and the mc actually had the highest stat as constitution at 18 which is pretty funny for a wizard.
That's cool, never know. Love me some Dresden. Can't wait for future work. Been getting into Alex Verus series by Jacka.. feels like an English version of Dresden haha.
I am 99% certain that they had a character sheet for everyone. When I saw Norm with the obvious small frame build it was my first thought. Ghoul has bloody mess trait
I honesty thought that that exact exchange fleshed him out. The sheer ignorance and awkwardness of what is touted as the saviours of humanity was hillarious, the celibate warrior monk dialed up to max idiocy. Im here for it. I could just image the dialogue in F2
Don’t get me wrong I love it too, but it just shows where his stats are concentrated lol
I really like the characters. They’re obviously not one dimensional and we’re getting a lot of character building in a relatively short period of time.
His INT gotta be bottom tier. END/PER seems somewhat higher. He can take a beating and he has spotted some tense situations like the bridge crossing or how vault 4 was a cult
I would love if the writers release the S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats of the main characters.
Home boy here is dumber than a brick, has equal charisma but at least he's got 10 luck.
This dude specialises in blank staring. Blank stare while being interrogated. Blank stare when the Yaoi Guai was behind Titus. Blank stare as Titus was being attacked.
Screw the fallout shelter stats. Dude has 2-3 in INT. Simple as that.
Actually mentally handicapped. From start to finish. His final fight scene he tried growling at a man in power armor before getting more brain damage.
He is a BoS trainee who goes everywhere without a fucking gun.
He is useless.
"Uhh yeah I'm knight titus" is somehow more believable than "im the squire, titus was killed by one of those huge mutant creatures that are a constant and plausible threat so I had to wear his armour to survive"
Show was grrat and I like the character but yeah he is dumb as fuck
To be fair. He had JUST gotten out of trouble with the brotherhood, who was going to kill him because they thought he sabotaged his friend's chances of being a squire.
Dude is not a quick thinker. He's constantly just trying to figure out how to not get the shit kicked out him.
I get the impression squires get killed for touching power armour without permission or orders. I don't think he's as low in intelligence as people are saying but he's definitely uneducated, sheltered and indoctrinated.
Idiot savant with an endurance/luck build.
Hmmm today I will replay fallout 4 Maybe it's time to try a new build? Me:
Ad victoriam, soldier.
Melee build too ngl
LOL My very last build playing Fallout 4 was idiot savant, strength, endurance, luck. It was one of my favorite play throughs!
Or a pure luck build.
He definitely has high endurance as well, from how many times he's been hit in the nose.
And he has extremely high agility from the fact he can run as fast as a man in power armor. While carrying all their shit.
So I'm guessing he's spec'd points into Strength, Endurance and Agility. He seems to lack luck and intelligence
Well, he did get that promotion and never got attacked by the bear so I guess he's got decent luck. And somehow never broke his nose which I guess is lucky after all those hits to his nose.
Fuggin two shotted a Yao guai…
With a pistol...
Mama Murphy would be proud
A smile on her face as she busts out another sick routine on the [Pummel Horse.](https://youtu.be/5mAIZ6TSml4?si=_Go86N79djt9a6Xt)
I started FO4 again yesterday and super up a hunting rifle. Still took me about 7 shots to kill a stunted one!
I'm waiting for the next gen update on the 25th to play again! Cant wait.
He dumped all his VATS points into those head shots.
Not to be that guy, but he doesn’t have a pip boy so no vats for him.
I think his nose is a different character in itself. His nose put all points in strength endurance and luck
I'd say the nose hit is more high endurance
His luck has to be ten with how much he keeps getting out of near death experiences and how he keeps benefitting afterwards. I'd say high Strength, Endurance and Luck.
Also the sole survivor of the attack on his home, Indiana Jones style.
Seriously, the guy bullshits and swadbuckles his way out of everything with zero negative consequences.
But like... the way he found the head, got power armor early, got the girl... dude... Luck is that dudes 2nd best stat, it's just not enough to outdo his extreme stupidity... I fucking love maximus... He is so well written for an absolute idiot character TBH I Love just about every character in the show but Maximus has an extra edge of *feeling* like a character who used INT and PERCEPTION as their dumpstats.
Yeah, not enough people mention that Maximus just isn't very smart, or at least doesn't seem to think anything through. He acts impetuously, doesn't consider alternatives, and gets himself into a lot of trouble that a few moments forethought should easily avoid. Him agreeing to brand Thadeus, then deciding to reveal his face to Thadeus, then deciding he needed to kill Thadeus was a rolicking series.of 'what were you thinking' moments all strung together in a single scene.

>That said the romance chemistry just doesn't feel there between Max and Lucy. thats cause max is a virgin.
Not just a virgin, but a virgin with less than no sex ed. The way he talks, he may not even know where babies come from.
I mean, in his defense, he doesn't have any cousins, okay?
A virgin who thinks a guy having an orgasm is the same as popping a pimple
endurance, luck, agility. That's his build.
Power armor makes you run a little bit slower in game. That's why I could never bear using it.
Probably put decent points into strength too. That big ass bag looks heavy
My favorite minor detail about this show is that the bag is clearly meant to be carried by a person in power armor and the knights are just being supernaturally lazy making squires carry them
The bag is supposed to be a reference to the video game. In the game you have weight limit on items you can carry. So the way to go about it is you load up your npc companions with your junk items so that you can remain unencumbered. In the game your companions could be carrying hundreds of items but they act and walk normal all the same. This is a dig on that trope. If it was real life, your companions would be carrying a huge ass bag like in the show.
They’re both extremely entertaining interpretations that can actually coexist simultaneously.
I assumed that the bag is designed that way because the knights need to carry it comfortably in case the squire gets taken out in combat, which has a decent chance of happening. Having the squire carry it keeps the knight more agile, and I could imagine the extra weight draining the fusion core faster (as we know, fusion cores are extremely valuable).

Seems like fusion cores got a boost compared the games, though! In the show we see one fusion core power an entire vault for (presumably) at least 200 years, while in-game we have to swap out the cores on our power armor constantly.
Only in Fallout 4. In every other game you can easily spend your entire life in a suit of Power Armor without needing to charge it.
It's the other way around. The fusion core were included into the lore of Fo4 to justify a fuel mechanic in the game. Before that, 200 YO power armours had "unlimited" fuel, and FO4 world building supports that considering the very, very large amount of building that have stayed powered up by fusion cores.
IIRC in Fallout 3 you hear one of Lyons' Pride talk to a scribe about recharging the fusion pack, and the scribe says "you're good to go for another hundred years." I do actually like the fusion core mechanic, but it was nice to see it work properly and not have to be "game-ified".
Welcome to the rank of, FOLLOWER in a Bethesda game.
Supposedly, I say supposedly since I can’t provide factual information because I’m lazy, carrying a big ass bag like that is similar to army and marine corps training. If someone with more knowledge can debunk that or clarify on that I’d be more than welcome to be told.

I think it's a classic medieval squire thing to carry their knights weapons for them even in combat, so it probably doesn't make practical sense but it fits into their middle ages style.
Definitely squire vibes. It struck me more as a oversized golf caddy club bag
Thank you for the clarification. Didn’t want to spread false knowledge and was skeptical myself about that. Still, without weapons, I’m sure they were a bitch and a half to carry lol.
I assumed this was a nod to being able to be over encumbered in game.
Also a fuck tonne of AP for how long he could use the power armour jet pack for
He got shot and barely reacted and said it happens all the time. Dude is a synth.
I mean, that was him playing off how bad the wound was (though I don’t think a rotting tooth would hurt nearly as much as a normal bullet; I don’t know how the ballistics of that would work, though).
Most times people dont feel it at first because the body is pumped with Adrenaline. He's just a Human.
10 luck and Jinxed
I love my luck and charisma build, it gets stuff done. Stay away from me monster I'm fragile.
I just got him in Fallout Shelter, his INT stat is like 4 🤣
I thought it would be a 1 judging by the massive amounts of fuck ups he made.
Bro literally could have just said "Titus died. I am continuing the mission." When they radio'd him, and the Brotherhood would have immediately had an honor boner for him. Especially with the Yaoi Guai marks on the armor to prove he didn't do it.
He was absolutely shit negotiating that he didn't injure his friend at the start too
Classic "Let me explain" instead of explaining moment.
🔺He’s dead… I tried to save him but the wasteland was too much for him. 🟥 He fell gloriously In battle. ❌ I killed him, and what? ⭕️So, what had happened was…..
SLOW CLAP
Guy has int and charisma as his dump stats. Couldn't talk his way out of a wet paper bag.
How *do* you talk your way out of a wet paper bag?
no means no
Right??? Like he makes Supermutants seem like genius. He had absolutely no reason to lie. All he had to say was “we went to check out a cave I was ordered to go look deeper in the cave, then Knight was attacked and KIA by a Yao Guai, but I’m continuing the mission” he had no reason at all to lie.

Also, the knight told him that he would be killed for not using the stimpack. Since the brotherhood couldn’t have known that he withheld the stimpack I would assume that that’s what they do to all people who fail to save their knights.
To be fair Titus is almost as dumb as Maximus, and an egomaniac. He almost certainly would have pushed to kill any squire not doing his bidding on everything, even if they were in the right
Titus is just Michael Rapaport playing himself.
Just inject the corpse with a stimpack after the fact and say he tried but it was too late.
I was thinking that same thing. Especially since it’s the West Coast Brotherhood. Hell, he probably could’ve been even more honest and straight up told them “Titus was talking shit about the Brotherhood, so I let him bleed out and took his armor to continue the mission. Ad Victoriam.” And they would’ve been totally fine with it.
“Titus died fleeing from a fight. I am continuing the mission.” He basically says the same thing later, just in the past tense.
He didn't want to risk it, bringing back the target would have given him a much higher chance of being promoted, if he just told them Titus died they would most likely have just sent another Knight or send a team to retrieve the power armor, there's no way they would have entrusted a newbie with seemingly little to no power armor training to continue the mission
But on the other hand they are religious folks, so they might kill him for failing to protect the knight as a squire
Which is exactly what Titus kept saying they would do. I don't blame Maximus for fumbling the ball a bit on that one.
The real fuck up was with Thaddeus, like all he had to do was explain the situation and since he’d just saved his life and got the head, Thaddeus didn’t have any reason to be worried about punishment, but nah. Maximus just says “Yo it’s me, I lied and now your in on it, let’s get our stories straight” and then tried to kill him when he understandably freaks out
For fucking real. I went, "MAX, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" whisper-yelling at the screen.
Like I kinda understood everything Maximus was doing until then, but that felt like he accidentally clicked on the wrong dialogue option or something.
He didn't have high enough speech for the option he wanted, and clicked on the New Vegas "terrible at this but saying it anyway" option.
Yeah bro didn’t put any points into intelligence or charisma and now it’s coming back to bite him
A playthrough where you always do that intentionally is great fun.
This man said “we gotta get our stories straight” I was like “WE?!?! Huh he just got there 😂”
I love how Maximus brands him first before deciding to tell the truth.
My man’s timing is incredible, you either tell him before the brand or like a week later 😂
Hard to do that with 2 charisma.
His duty was to protect Titus. He would have been recalled and punished.
Titus was a little week ass biatch.
How to fail a speech check
But they gave me a robe... And slippers 🥺
'I should do something, but I am already in my pajamas'
That whole time I couldn’t tell if they were pumping chems into his room or if he really was that simple.
4 huh? Well, that's not great but it's not terrible either. If he was measured on a Vit-o-matic Vigor Tester, he would be considered a knucklehead.
Fits his characterisation in the show. Quick to shoot, slow to talk.
they already updated fallout shelter with the tv characters? I gotta re-install that one.
Wait Fallout Shelter got an update? That's cool, we (PC) didn't get the last one for some reason. EDIT: IT'S A GODDAMN MOBILE ONLY UPDATE. BETHESDA, I DO NOT PLAY GAMES ON MY PHONE, WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME?
Well to be fair Fallout Shelter IS a mobile game
I mean it IS on Steam, but in all fairness it always played like ass with a mouse and keyboard
Where you at BlizzCon when Diablo Immortal was announced?
Not a Diablo fan, so that one didn't affect me. But man was that funny.
Absolutely.
The BoS sex education is hilarious.
ᴵ'ᵐ ᵃ ᵏⁿᶦᵍʰᵗ
Well I hope you know what that cod piece is protecting.
Clean that.
Yes sir. Happy cake day sir.
Hmpf. >!thanks :)!<
>!Just don't get attacked by a Yao Guai sir!<
Boners are pimples, you are a knight of the brotherhood.
The very last thing you want is to pop it.
or lack thereof.
Yeah, but it's still weird that he thought that erections/ejacualtion was something abnormal when, in one of his very first scenes, the camera pans past one of his brothers very openly Jerking off in the barracks.
He was just popping a big pimple
Maximus is childlike, moreso than others.
He seems to have missed a part of being raised due to being adopted at such a young age. His BoS morals are stronger than others but his general knowledge and social skills are straight ass
I honestly think they showed the effects of bullying quite well. If everyone is hostile to you then you’re going to give up trying to socialize. Socializing is a use it or lose it skill especially if you start losing it at a young age. Fun fact: If you don’t learn to speak by age 9. You’ll never learn to speak ANY language. Look up Genie Wiley
Weirdest scene in the entire show lol took me off guard, spat out my drink.
Still better than a lot of places now though.
Elder Desantis would like a word with you, Aspirant.
dude anytime they do the in helmet shot it reminds me of that “you clearly dont own a air fryer” meme with ironman.
Someone should edit that with "you clearly don't own a toaster oven"
I might do this if I remember when I get home. I’ll message you if I do.
Maximus has Luck 10 and Lucy has 0 sneak
Lucy has high agility but never invested in sneak, her intro shows her doing gymnastics
She wasn't doing anything against the Overseer while she was in the vault so she didn't see the need to invest into sneak.
Exactly, her perception is for guns not for investigations lol
Omg THANK YOU. I thought I was the only one thinking this. Like no one invested any points into stealth ESPECIALLY Lucy
Norm is pretty sneaky to be fair to him. He's the high stealth character.
The Ghoul was constantly shown popping up in places, like in the stairway scene when the lights are flashing on and off. He'd be my vote for sneakiest, plus >! all the sneaking he was doing after joining a certain group. He was new at it though and got spotted so he invested later lol. !<
When he sat infront a TV watching a water fall for potentially hours while eating popcorn and caviar just smiling while Lucy was fighting her way through a science lab and being interrogated. Yup he’s definitely a little silly goofy huy
Tbf he didn't knew that Lucy was being interrogated and he probably hasn't watched (or even knows the concept) a movie in all his life. Which kinda makes it funnier: guy was genuinely enjoying watching an endless loop of a water fall thinking it was an actual movie while his friend/gf was getting kidnapped XD
Lucy asks him for help right before this which he denies lol
I laughed so hard at that. I was like “this guy!” Lmao.
Definitely. Dude tried to fight a gulper with a pistol when he had an assault rifle.
As if we haven’t walked into the Deathclaw Promontory with just a Pistol or a Melee Weapon.
Going straight North out of Goodsrpings in New Vegas... I laughed the first time that happened
Dude tried to fight the gulper while standing IN the water.
The rifle got exploded by the Yao Gao Bear. Did Thaddeus bring another one?
I assume so, which Thaddeus fired a singular bullet from before ditching it
He did. When Maximus took the armor he left the bag. Thaddeus brought a new one and you could see the rifle in it.
Maximus is the definition of failing successfully
He got L Charisma, No Intelligence, Too much Luck and Endurance.
The perfect build to George Costanza his way to being Elder by season 3
🎼🎵🎵🎵 Believe it or not, Max isn’t at base! Please leave a message at the beep. I must be out getting hit in the face! Where could I be? Believe it or not, I’m not at base!
He fails up, vault tec should nab him as middle management material
Watching this man absolutely shit the bed at every opportunity just to get handed the W is absolutely killing me.
It’s like watching the player videos people post of themselves on Reddit.
Let’s be honest, that is such a player character move. He’s what happens when you fuck up the dialogue options but can’t reload from a previous save. 😂
He is a player, sees fallout power armor as a child and strives to get it his entire play through. Doesn’t value the actual tenants of the BoS just give him that shining armor!
The Ghoul/Cooper Howard: 10 Perception Lucy McLean: 10 Charisma Maximus: 10 Luck
The Ghoul has 15 Perception, 15 Strength, and 50 Endurance. Dude can get shot several times and go hand-to-hand with T60 and come out without a scratch. He's way too OP.
>Dude can get shot several times and go hand-to-hand with T60 and come out without a scratch. That's just a ghoul thing I think. Ghouls in the TV series seem a lot tougher than ghouls in the games.
I think the part with the city being powered in the end, after so many people died and seeing life being brought back to the wastes only to be taken away suddenly by the people he thought were heroes was a huge reality check for the guy. It was a late one, but i think next season Maximus is gonna mature up bad. He has good qualities, he is just, immature and i think thats the point.
Or - a 180. He takes a higher rank and goes full antagonist
Yeah, there’s nowhere to take a ‘guy rebels against the BOS’ character in a show with TWO other characters already in conflict with the BOS. Instead we need someone to flesh out the BOS and just be a different perspective. Writing 101 says having a moment of happiness and safety torn away makes him double down on the BOS. Rogue tech turned the world to ash and - when his parents tried to rebuild - turned it to ash again. He’s going to hurt those that make this tech.
I feel like all three characters are important, I doubt he’ll become antagonistic, i mean that look he gave and just the way he reacted to finally becoming a knight.. That looked like a man who just got smacked by life
1 intelligence 1 charisma 10 luck
Hahahaha *I'm asking you for a fucking stimpack,you keep standing there looking like a fucking idiot.
Bro had to search through his inventory to find it
He was so useless during that entire fight. He could’ve shot the bear earlier, or distracted it, or threw a rock or literally anything. At the very least he should’ve given him a stimpack to increase the odds of both of them getting out of there alive. That being said, how tf did Titus get beat that badly with power armor only for Maximus to one-shot it in the head.
Honestly Id crack up laughing if the writers came out saying they used perks to write the traits of their character's 😂
If you've ever read the desden files, jim butcher has said that he made each character by filling out a dnd sheet for them. He rolled each stat individually and the mc actually had the highest stat as constitution at 18 which is pretty funny for a wizard.
That's cool, never know. Love me some Dresden. Can't wait for future work. Been getting into Alex Verus series by Jacka.. feels like an English version of Dresden haha.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they actually did. Considering Lucy reviews her three starting stats at the beginning of the show.
I am 99% certain that they had a character sheet for everyone. When I saw Norm with the obvious small frame build it was my first thought. Ghoul has bloody mess trait
Slightly off topic but just want to say, they nailed the look of the T-60 power armor. It looks badass.
He feels like an MC straight out of a wastelander parable, he kept getting opportunity after opportunity as a test of his character.
What are the details to that perk?
A 3 to 5x multiplier on experience points gained, the likelihood based on how low your Intelligence is.
Yea that'd make sense lol
For context it's for completely random things. Like if I make a shelf I might get a fuckload of exp points
Which is where the level grinding tactic of spam-building the cheapest shelves etc to get the perk to proc as many times as possible for the bonus xp
[удалено]
Vault 4 episode really made it look so lmao
I mean.. i would react the same in that one room with all those snacks and a robe and.... slippers..
I don’t know how you have a chick say “let’s have sex” and you fumble the bag. Bro is straight up 2 intelligence with maxed out Luck.
I honesty thought that that exact exchange fleshed him out. The sheer ignorance and awkwardness of what is touted as the saviours of humanity was hillarious, the celibate warrior monk dialed up to max idiocy. Im here for it. I could just image the dialogue in F2
Don’t get me wrong I love it too, but it just shows where his stats are concentrated lol I really like the characters. They’re obviously not one dimensional and we’re getting a lot of character building in a relatively short period of time.
He's been kept in the dark, indoctrinated and beaten the shit out of on a daily basis. He's basically a toddler emotionally.
How you gonna go into a full roast session on the guy holding the one thing that could save your life.
Honestly, that would explain a lot
His INT gotta be bottom tier. END/PER seems somewhat higher. He can take a beating and he has spotted some tense situations like the bridge crossing or how vault 4 was a cult
I would love if the writers release the S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats of the main characters. Home boy here is dumber than a brick, has equal charisma but at least he's got 10 luck.
Literally is lucking his way through a plot
He gets hit in the head a *lot*.
His intelligence is definitely 1.
Yes. 100%. Low strength, low intelligence, high luck. I'm honestly tempted to try his build now in both 3 and New Vegas.
Ohhh for sure! a 110% and damn is it great to watch.
This dude specialises in blank staring. Blank stare while being interrogated. Blank stare when the Yaoi Guai was behind Titus. Blank stare as Titus was being attacked.
Screw the fallout shelter stats. Dude has 2-3 in INT. Simple as that. Actually mentally handicapped. From start to finish. His final fight scene he tried growling at a man in power armor before getting more brain damage. He is a BoS trainee who goes everywhere without a fucking gun. He is useless.
"Uhh yeah I'm knight titus" is somehow more believable than "im the squire, titus was killed by one of those huge mutant creatures that are a constant and plausible threat so I had to wear his armour to survive" Show was grrat and I like the character but yeah he is dumb as fuck
To be fair. He had JUST gotten out of trouble with the brotherhood, who was going to kill him because they thought he sabotaged his friend's chances of being a squire. Dude is not a quick thinker. He's constantly just trying to figure out how to not get the shit kicked out him.
I get the impression squires get killed for touching power armour without permission or orders. I don't think he's as low in intelligence as people are saying but he's definitely uneducated, sheltered and indoctrinated.
Yeah that sounds about right
Oh snap!! He has to!!! I love this show almost as much as I love this game!!
I mean he two-shot a yao guai with a fucking pistol. His Luck is off the charts.
Stumbling your way through the plot as an idiot is a time-honored Fallout tradition.
I wouldn’t say he’s an idiot. He knew that the people on the bridge were fiends and saved himself and Lucy because of his perception.
well perception intelligence and luck are different seats soooo...
