FALLOUT (World War 3 & Nuclear Devastation Lore + History) EXPLAINED

With the recent release of the Amazon Prime adaptation of the beloved Fallout video game series, I thought it would be a good idea to explore the games and their lore in depth, so viewers can understand what made them so special. Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2022, Fallout started as an isometric RPG heavily influenced by tabletop RPGs. Created by Tim Cain and his team at Interplay Productions, the original Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role-Playing Game envisioned a world inspired by Mad Max, where bright Atomic Age aesthetics met the stark moral dilemmas of a harsh post-nuclear landscape. Set in a future where an alternative history diverges post-World War II, American culture remains fixed in the 1950s until a catastrophic war with China in 2077 over scarce resources ends dramatically in nuclear fallout. In the mid-2000s, Bethesda Softworks acquired the rights to Fallout, transitioning it into three-dimensional gameplay with Fallout 3, which was followed by several sequels and spin-offs. Hey guys whats happening? Niyat here with film comics explained, and today we’re going to dive into the complex history and lore of the Great War that destroyed modern civilisation and led to the setting and fallout ridden world of the games. I’m planning on covering the mechanics of the Fallout series, the story in each of the main games, in addition to the entire television series, in two more separate videos, likely next week, but for the purposes of this video, we’ll be focusing on the events the led to the destruction of the world.
