Word: spoilers for Fallout Season 2!
Fallout Season 2 is right here ultimately, and we’ll New Vegas, child! We’ll get to see Novac! The Fortunate 38! Possibly even locations like Hoover Dam, Nellis Air Pressure Base, Jacobstown… who is aware of? Like all Fallout followers, I will be holding my eyes peeled all season lengthy for acquainted sights and iconic landmarks.
However proper off the bat in Fallout Season 2, Episode 1, we get to see a location I bear in mind fondly from one of many Fallout video games—and surprisingly, it has completely nothing to do with New Vegas in any respect.
Naturally, this cannot be the identical Starlight Drive-In from Fallout 4—that may be all the way in which throughout the nation within the Commonwealth. However there isn’t any motive the Starlight could not be a franchise within the Fallout universe, with theaters all throughout the US, and this one seems so much just like the one from Fallout 4, from the massive, crumbling display to the rusting automobiles with the skeletons of film followers nonetheless inside them.
Seeing it within the present made me notice this spot is definitely fairly particular to me. The Starlight is the settlement in Fallout 4 I undoubtedly spent essentially the most time at, and I believe it is the perfect settlement within the recreation. It is not essentially the most artistic place to construct: it is simply an enormous, flat buildable zone due it basically being only a car parking zone, however I am an unimaginative builder so I dig uncomplicated areas. It is also simple to get to very early within the recreation, and it is a easy mission to assert it: simply kill some mole rats and it is yours.
I had different settlements in Fallout 4, clearly (Preston is an efficient nag), however from inserting my first beacon to constructing a base to organising distributors and housing for my residents, the Drive-In grew to become my actual residence in Fallout 4. It is the place I slept to go the time and get the “Properly Rested” buff. It is the place I did most of my crafting and tinkering. It is the place I stored my varied units of energy armor. It is the place I might ship my companions to chill their heels after I wished to swap them out for another person.
And it is the place I might most vigorously defend when raiders invaded. I simply could not bear the considered any of my grubby little settlers getting killed. I’ve received virtually 200 hours in Fallout 4, and I am unable to think about what number of of these hours have been spent at that Drive-In, but it surely have to be so much.
Simply seeing the Starlight once more within the Fallout present immediately took me again to on a regular basis I spent there in Fallout 4. Not having grand adventures or saving the Commonwealth, simply dwelling and dealing and hanging out with my folks. I am not shocked the brand new season of Fallout is making me need to play the video games once more, however I’m shocked it is not New Vegas I’ve received a hankering for. Greater than something, it is making me need to play Fallout 4 once more as an alternative.
Sidenote: I attempted remaking the Leo Pointing meme in Garry’s Mod utilizing some Fallout 4 fashions and props, and this was about the perfect I might do:
