‘Fallout’ Season 2 will make more use of post-apocalyptic games

Part of To fall‘s success came from telling an original story within the world of the series and connecting it to the events of the games.

After learning the truth about the identity of her father Hank (MacLachlan) and his involvement in the end of the world, Lucy forms a tentative alliance with the Ghoul to pursue him after their confrontation at the observatory. The former Vault dweller seeks justice, while the bounty hunter searches for answers about his family, leading them down a dangerous path filled with new factions, like Caesar’s Legion, mutated beasts, like the Deathclaws, and the leader of New Vegas himself, Robert House (Justin Theroux), whom Cooper encountered in his pre-war life. With so many different forces clashing in New Vegas, a war is looming on the horizon in which both men are about to be caught in the middle.
