Possibly even locations like Hoover Dam, Nellis Air Drive Base, Jacobstown… who is aware of? Like all Fallout followers, I will be retaining my eyes peeled all season lengthy for acquainted sights and iconic landmarks.

Fascinated about it, this location might be the place I’ve spent probably the most outing of the entire Fallout video games I’ve performed. When it confirmed up within the episode, I instantly bought a buffout-sized dose of nostalgia. As the youngsters say, it hit me proper within the feels. (Apologies if the youngsters not say this.)

In Episode 1, Lucy and the Ghoul are following Hank’s bloody footprints by way of the desert from California to Nevada, and so they uncover he made a cease at a location gamers of Fallout 4 are certain to acknowledge: the Starlight Drive-In Theatre.

Naturally, this cannot be the identical Starlight Drive-In from Fallout 4—that will be all the best way throughout the nation within the Commonwealth. However there is not any purpose the Starlight could not be a franchise within the Fallout universe, with theaters all throughout the US, and this one seems lots just like the one from Fallout 4, from the massive, crumbling display screen to the rusting automobiles with the skeletons of film followers nonetheless inside them.

Seeing it within the present made me understand this spot is definitely fairly particular to me. The Starlight is the settlement in Fallout 4 I positively spent probably the most time at, and I feel it is one of the best settlement within the sport.

And it is the place I would most vigorously defend when raiders invaded. I simply could not bear the considered any of my grubby little settlers getting killed. I’ve bought nearly 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, however it have to be lots.

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 individuals. I am not shocked the brand new season of Fallout is making me wish to play the video games once more, however I’m shocked it is not New Vegas I’ve bought a hankering for. Greater than something, it is making me wish to play Fallout 4 once more as a substitute.

Sidenote: I attempted remaking the Leo Pointing meme in Garry’s Mod utilizing some Fallout 4 fashions and props, and this was about one of the best I may do:
