The person you spend the most time thinking about in a Fallout game is the build-a-bear murderer you assemble in character creation—an amalgam of traits, facial blemishes and inventory items glued together by a haphazard personality you’ll develop on the fly. Eventually, though, the other voices start to seep in. Preston stops speaking for a […]

In November a beta build of Fallout: New Vegas that is a whole two gigabytes bigger than the release version was uncovered on an Xbox 360 dev kit. It contained locations, textures, and even whole NPCs that were ultimately cut to get the finished game down to a more workable size. But what was too […]

25 major updates later, Fallout 76’s map has expanded its borders, added numerous storylines, and even allowed players to cut off their own noses and bask in the radioactive pools of the Wasteland. It’s certainly something to marvel at now, but it hasn’t always been like this. Fallout 76’s launch has gone down in the […]

Fallout season 2 airs next week, with its weekly episode schedule taking us right through to January. But before we even get the chance to catch up with Lucy and The Ghoul again, Jonathan Nolan, executive producer of the show, has confirmed that its third season will begin shooting next summer, if everything goes well. […]

The second season of the Fallout TV Show is almost upon us, but before we can bask in the glorious light of New Vegas’ neon-lit casinos, it’s time to reflect on the first season and understand just how far each of our main characters came. By the end of season one, Lucy had found her […]

Fallout is a lot of things, but it is, at its core, satire—a long and exhaustive example of where cold war-era browbeating could’ve led us: A world blasted, irradiated, and filled with Deathclaws. The furries might be excited about that last bit, but I like my insides un-gouged out, thank you very much. Speaking to […]

Ever since we knew that Fallout’s second season would be taking us to New Vegas (so, uh, since the end of Fallout’s first season), the internet has reverberated with just one question: which ending will it be, Todd? Fallout: New Vegas had plenty of ending slides that could go in plenty of directions, but the […]

I’ve built a solid 60% of my career on ribbing Todd Howard, but make no mistake, I quite like the guy. I think we have diametrically opposed tastes when it comes to “things we like in Bethesda games,” but everything I’ve ever seen from him makes Howard seem generally pretty likeable and self-aware. But that’s […]

The most iconic line in Fallout, the line that has kicked off every single Fallout game, usually spoken in the dulcet tones of the narrator Ron Perlman, almost didn’t make the cut for the Fallout TV show. This wasn’t for any insidious reason or because the showrunners didn’t like the sound of it—it was actually […]

Everyone loves a good rivalry; Rocky vs Apollo, Mr Krabs vs Plankton. But sometimes fans can get a little over the top when imagining such competition, as is apparently the case with Bethesda and Obsidian. For the longest time, some fans held the idea that Bethesda wasn’t a huge fan of Obsidian or its work […]

Bethesda is celebrating a decade of Fallout 4this month, and, as is Toddly tradition, has released yet another version of the Sole Survivor’s wasteland journey. The Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition launched on November 10 as an all-encompassing collection of DLC and add-ons, but a related update to Fallout 4’s Creation Club menu rolled out for […]

[Fallout New Vegas mod] Lip Motion Fix – YouTube Watch On Nexus Mods is currently hosting a Fallout modding marathon timed to coincide with the second season of the TV show. Fresh off a rewatch of the first season I’m replaying New Vegas right now myself, and keeping an eye on new mods like the […]

As reported by TheGamer, Fallout actors Walton Goggins and Aaron Moten made a surprise appearance at the annual Fallout fan gathering in Goodsprings, Nevada to hobnob with fans and remind them that, not only is Fallout season two coming out in a month, but the show’s already been renewed for a third season as well. […]

The wait for Fallout 5 just keeps getting longer (heck, The Elder Scrolls 6 is still a long ways off and it’s coming first), so Bethesda has released Fallout 4 once more to tide us over. Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition comes with all the DLC included in the Game of the Year Edition, plus a […]

If Bethesda has a singular passion, it’s releasing updates that break your mods. Last year, the studio released a “next-gen” update for Fallout 4 that sent reams of mods to the phantom zone, and that sent a brand-new mod—one that simply rolled back Bethesda’s update—rocketing to the top of the charts. Now, Bethesda would like […]

The course of history has a habit of plucking individuals from its stream and making them, by complex processes, tribunes of a class—figureheads onto which the demands of an era are projected and through whom they find voice. Martin Luther, Maximilien Robespierre, Karl Marx: these are less individuals than they are avatars of their epochs. […]

Like all of you, my primary thought while playing a Fallout game is ‘I wish I could experience this in real life’. Well, do I have good news for you. The National Atomic Testing Museum in sunny Las Vegas is bringing the post-apocalypse to our ongoing apocalypse in the form of an exhibit all about […]

The original Fallout’s lead developer Tim Cain has dropped another in his long-running series of videos discussing the earliest games in the series, and with this one, he’s definitively answered one of the big questions about how everything kicked off. Well, kinda. Cain’s latest video is called “Non-expository Fallout lore” and opens with some necessary […]

In a moment of incredible strength earlier this year, I actually cancelled my Amazon Prime subscription. The incredible strength didn’t lie in cancelling it—I can live without free delivery on my pantaloons and draining racks and whatever else it was I bought on there—but in remembering I had it in the first place. Well, maybe […]

Fallout: London – Rabbit & Pork DLC Official Launch Trailer – YouTube Watch On In a move which my immense sense of grievance and narcissism can only interpret as a slight against me personally, the first DLC for mega-mod Fallout: London released barely an hour after I wrote a news piece yesterday chatting about it. […]

Fallout 76’s next update has finally been announced, and boy, do these just keep getting bigger and better. Blood and Rest will release around early December and introduce Burning Springs as a new area of the map, a bounty system, and Walton Goggins’ beloved ghoul from the Fallout TV show. “Burning Springs is in total […]

As part of the latest Fallout 76 map expansion into the land of Burning Springs, players will gain access to the New Vegas-inspired deserts of Ohio, more hordes of raiders, and a brand new bounty hunting system courtesy of your favourite ghoul, The Ghoul (played by Walton Goggins). Cut to a sudden broadcast of Walton […]

I can’t tell if the fact that Fallout: London (FOLON)—the “DLC-sized” total conversion mod for Fallout 4 that transplants you from the US to Blighty—released last July feels way too long ago or way too recent. Two things are for sure, though: I am decrepit and falling apart and FOLON’s first DLC gets closer every […]

Of the many things that keep me awake at night—tinnitus, climate collapse, the fourth coffee of the day, man’s inhumanity to man—none is more pressing than the continued and inexplicable absence of Beamdog-style Enhanced Editions for Fallout 1 and 2. I don’t ask for much: just versions of the classics that run out-of-the-box at modern […]

McFarlane Toys’ upcoming addition to its line of Fallout action figures is an absolute whopper, a doozy, “The Big One:” A premium, $50 take on the elite NCR Ranger from New Vegas, complete with an arsenal of weapons out of the game. The figure is up for preorder now, and set to ship in Q4 […]

Developer Alexander “Red888guns” Berezin has just released a new trailer for Fallout: Bakersfield, his project to recreate the ghoul city of Necropolis from Fallout 1 as an FPS campaign in the GZDoom Engine. The last we saw of Fallout: Bakersfield was a 55-second teaser all the way back in September 2022. Berezin’s incredible art and […]

We currently live in the era of good videogame adaptations, I know, it’s weird. There’s Arcane, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, or Jack Black’s magnum opus, A Minecraft Movie. All of which don’t just bring awareness of the games they’re based on, but also encourage people to discover more of these worlds by actually playing them, although I’d […]
