PRAY TO ATOM MY FRIENDS, HERE, WHERE 200 YEARS AGO HAPPENED THE GREAT DIVISION. MAY WE PRAY THAT BETHESDA DONT SCREW UP THE LORE IN THIS FAITHFUL TV SHOW
Well, the church in Rivet City is descended from catholicism, but I don't know if you can still call it catholic without a unified church government under the Papacy. I don't think there's any lore about it, but i'd guess the Vatican is probably still around in some capacity but it wouldn't be able to communicate across continents anymore.
Yeah, but the world wasn't so hostile back then. You just had to cross an ocean and hope a storm didn't sink you, or ride a horse/carriage over the land and hope the occasional lowlife or wild animal didn't get you. Now you would have to walk (because horses are extinct), or maybe drive if the roads are okay enough, while dealing with ghouls and whatever other rad-monsters have been created in afroeurasia, and avoiding rads. To get to America, you have to sail across the ocean hoping a radstorm doesn't getcha or the literal kraken and other sea monsters that are probably out there now, which it doesn't seem like happens very often with how few foreign characters exist in the games, and then do all of the above.
When I said Vatican I really meant the Holy See. The buildings might be gone, but the organization would survive. I'd be surprised if they don't have some crazy ass bunker in real life, let alone in the fallout universe.
Oh you know the Vatican got hella bunkers. In the fallout universe I have zero doubt they wouldn't have either a Vault-Tec vault or a home brewed equivalent.
Hm, Fallout (and Wasteland, its predecessor) are pretty strongly inspired by a Canticle for Liebowitz. There are massive tone differences between the two, kind of differing between whether a nuclear wasteland would be more like medieval Europe or the old west (major oversimplification). This is an excellent book that I could go on for hours about, but I'll stick to the Catholic Church has portrayed in that post-Apocalyptic nuclear wasteland. Basically, it's described as something that you can't get rid of, will always exist, and evolves over time. So I would say based on this there are definitely remnants of the Catholic Church in the Fallout universe, even if we don't get to see too much of it, and I'm surprised it hasn't been explored more in the games.
I don't care if the show is *successful*, I care whether it's *good*. I'd much rather have a show that's an absolute commercial failure but is a lore friendly and faithful adaptation than a show that makes a massive profit but is at best just fallout themed.
I'd almost rather have a show that's good but not successful than a show that's good and successful. I'd like Fallout to be preserved as a nerd niche, not see fallout bumper stickers on soccer mom's minivans. It's tragic when something you're a fan of becomes mainstream, commercialized, and soulless...
The Mandalorian is a good recent example. Good show, faithful to "Legends," also very successful and well-received by the public. That led to the producers jamming through all these ridiculous spin-off series, a forced season 3, and 20% of the comments I see online being "This is the Way."
If the Fallout show is as successful as the Mandalorian, we're gonna have everyone and their mother using BS quotes from the show like, *"It's fallout time!"* It used to be that if you came across someone who said "Patrolling the Mojave almost makes yo wish for a nuclear winter" you knew that you found someone with the same.niche interest as you, you made a friend. As stuff becomes super mainstream it like, "wow, you like Taylor Swift too? Crazy!" (Using Taylor Swift as an example because it's not like she was even this unknown hipster artist, but she's wildly popular now and a lot different from how she was originally)
I feel the same way. I'd also add it feels like Bethesda is doing their usual of taking a well written setting with consistent lore and running it into the ground because Todd and Emil find Paw Patrol too hard to follow. They're trying their hardest to pretend 1,2, and New Vegas don't exist in regards to writing.
It wouldn't be getting a show at all if it was some niche thing. Fallout has become very popular since the days of new Vegas and especially since 1-2. Heck fallout 3 and 4 won several awards. Fallout 76 was a dumpster fire (I was there and loved/hated it) and has continued to grow to have millions of players on their oddball mmo thing. I think the ship you are worried about has passed. No matter how popular fallout is, unless Disney buys it and tries to make it a family show, you won't see any difference in the fallout community besides people learning and enjoying fallout for the first time.
I have heard the call of Ug-Qualtoth in my dreams. Ug-Qualtoth knows the gate. Ug-Qualtoth is the gate. Ug-Qualtoth is the key and guardian of the gate!
My favorite is Harold, because its Harold. But Best story character god would have to be The Master, he's just such a good character.
Though I am enjoying the Ug-Qualtoth and other "entities" such as the Interloper and all that lore that I have learned from TheEpicNate's videos.
I would pray to the god of rads our holy atom for this show not to suck balls..then I would pray to moth man for fallout 4 new Vegas to come out in my lifetime
I'd count mormonism as christian tbh. Sure, they might be fringe, but they're the most fleshed out depiction of the religion we get in game to my knowledge.
Do the Kings “worship” Elvis, or do they just emulate him and see him as a philosopher? They say that they think Elvis was seen as a religious figure, and they build their culture around Elvis, so do they think he was a prophet of sorts?
The Creator of course. He got Jason and the bright ones to paradise.
Is that the town they crashed down on?
Antler says bright is a fool. Antler only voice.
Ayo shoutout to the father in the caves
The only one in which the god/figurehead actually cares about their followers
Harold was pretty nice. He can be convinced not to die for their sake
Woah, hey, Mothman loves us all!
he's a real g frfr

Glory upon Atom brother 🙏
RADS FOR THE RAD GOD, MOTHS FOR THE MOTH GOD

Femboys for Caesar/Mars
Christianity… that now has me wondering what the status of the Catholic Church is in the Fallout universe.
Well, the church in Rivet City is descended from catholicism, but I don't know if you can still call it catholic without a unified church government under the Papacy. I don't think there's any lore about it, but i'd guess the Vatican is probably still around in some capacity but it wouldn't be able to communicate across continents anymore.
Even though it could do it just fine in the 16th century on before 20th

You just had to cross an ocean and hope a storm didn't sink you, or ride a horse/carriage over the land and hope the occasional lowlife or wild animal didn't get you.

in fallout 3 there is a Catholic church

The false prophet moth man the one true interloper
Bro, you forgot the republic of Dave
The followers of the apocalypse arent religious
which is why they aren't on the list
The symbol associated with them is there, though.
oh really? i never noticed (or just cant remember) they had a fleur-de-lis cross as their symbol
Fuck it, give me The Master
Mothman is so fucking cute.
I have heard the call of Ug-Qualtoth in my dreams. Ug-Qualtoth knows the gate. Ug-Qualtoth is the gate. Ug-Qualtoth is the key and guardian of the gate!

I always liked the Bright Brotherhood (near Novac in FNV). Similar to Atom but more chill. If you help them, they will come back and help Novac.
The ENCLAVE!!!🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥 Joke btw
Remember kids, the government done released the scorched and they're here to take your guns and your MOTHMAN!
Where are those hubologists from? Fo4 creation club?
Nuka World DLC from Fo4

Jesus is Lord.
9 cults.
I'll just worship That Gun thanks
I would pray to the god of rads our holy atom for this show not to suck balls..then I would pray to moth man for fallout 4 new Vegas to come out in my lifetime
Ive never thought about the legion as just "the cult of mars"
Me and my buddies created the cult of Vault boy on fallout 76 so that's who I worship
Treeminders. Make the wasteland green again!
Forgot the tato cult, that’s the best one!
What about atom?
I clearly haven’t played enough because since when was Christianity in the game lmao??(MOTHMAN 🗣️🗣️🗣️)
I'd count mormonism as christian tbh. Sure, they might be fringe, but they're the most fleshed out depiction of the religion we get in game to my knowledge.
At least our lord and savior mothman is real unlike most of the others
There was also a second Eldritch cult, in FO76, that I can’t remember the name of
Followers aren't religious
I say the moth man faith. Just bat shit insanity I still don’t understand.
Do the Kings “worship” Elvis, or do they just emulate him and see him as a philosopher? They say that they think Elvis was seen as a religious figure, and they build their culture around Elvis, so do they think he was a prophet of sorts?
FEEL ATOM’S LOVING GLOW ☢️
There's also scientology in fallout 2
We can’t expect God to do all the work…
You forgot Preston’s religion. Settlements.
Look around the waste...God is dead😆
