Plot: The series is set two centuries after the Great War of 2077, in which society has collapsed following a nuclear holocaust.
Season 2 of Fallout was Good but not great.
Pros: I am glad it kept the pacing & structure felt the same as last season. The action & effects are a lot better in my opinion. Lucy, Maximus & Cooper/Ghoul had been developed further. I like the new edition of New Vegas. I felt the drama and happenings & I find the ending of the finale was very strong with twists that surprised me.
Cons: A lot of Vault 31residents were underdeveloped as well as the newest characters getting shafted, I find the reveal of hawk’s reasons for the wasteland was unimpactful & this season came out short for almost great.
