5 Fallout Series Easter Eggs

The continuation of the Fallout series premieres on December 17, so we've compiled the coolest Easter eggs and references to the games from the first season. By the way, you can play those games on GeForce NOW — with no downloads, no lag, and on almost any device.

The Series is Canon

Unlike most adaptations, the Fallout TV series is completely canon to the universe. Moreover, its events take place later than all the released games—in 2296. For comparison, the action of the very first game takes place in 2161, and the last released, Fallout 76, takes place in 2102. The fourth game in the series, which covers the year 2287, is the closest to the show.

Direct Link to the Fourth Installment

In the first episode, the armored airship of the Brotherhood of Steel appears, which is very similar to the “Prydwen” from Fallout 4. In the promotional materials, it is listed as “Caswennan,” but fans noticed that the name “Prydwen” is indeed visible on it. It seems the series creators based the story on the ending where the main character joins the Brotherhood of Steel, and the group's "ship" remains intact.

The Water Chip

At the end of the third episode, one of the residents of Vault 33 says that the Water Chip has broken down. This is the setup for the original Fallout, whose main character goes in search of the part to save the Vault residents. But, as we know, 135 years have passed between the events of the first game and the series, so this is just a pleasant reference for the veterans.

Mechanics from the Games

At the beginning of the series, the main heroine talks about her skills: she is interested in science, is an excellent fencer, and develops speech, but the girl's physical fitness leaves much to be desired. This is a clear reference to the Fallout skill system called S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

The characters in the series also actively use the good old Stimpaks from the games, which still heal almost any wound.

Can't Do Without Todd Howard

On the wall of the Overseer of Vault 4, you can spot a painting of Bethesda's head and creative director Todd Howard in the image of Napoleon Bonaparte. The same painting could be seen in Fallout 4.
