That's kind of the "joke" or satire in the show that some fail to see.  They think "why wouldn't everyone in Vault 33 be perfect genetic specimens of humanity," because Bud's buds are a management program made up of lame corporate suits convinced they're the answer to humanities problems.  The real leaders, the people you would want in charge like Cooper Howard, played by Walton Goggins, are just the small players trying to avoid the chaos created by the idiot self-proclaimed "wizards of smart."

Agreed. I think Kharn also hit the nail on the head. It's not that capitalism or nuclear tech (or corporations or patriotism) are bad, it's that it's all taken to hilarious extremes in the show- just like in the games.

True...he's a somewhat realistic guy, doing what he has to do to survive, using all 4 of his braincells the best he can. I guess he's not a standard movie good guy but as far as the Fallout universe goes he's about as close as we ever get.

Oh no, in 4 when doing Survival, you need to go high Charisma right off the bat, I prefer to put the rest in Intelligence and Luck. Charisma so you can get to Charisma 7 and then Local Leader 2 ASAP and get supply lines running between settlements so you're not humping stupid shit between bases to build anything.

Fuck the settlements and fuck the Minutemen organization.    Those twits can't defend themselves from a couple of super mutants when I've surrounded the town with turrets, and given them power armor and miniguns.      HELP US!  Save us!   Nope.  Not even starting the settlements.

I think he's specifically talking about doing Survival mode. You can't save the game unless you sleep in a bed, and you can't fast travel, so having settlements is pretty important if you want to get anything done.

I'd have to rewatch to be sure, but I'm pretty sure he mentions something about fighting in Anchorage or being in the Corps in every episode.

He turns feral if he quits taking that chem, which is basically becoming a zombie in layman’s terms.

Given that, seems it's probably a nod to whatever drug the ghouls at Kiddie Carnival were working on to help cure their feral friends.

Considering his comment after being hit with the syringer, it's likely a bunch of chems and nuclear waste that's been put in a blender though.

Tedious, but worth it.

Still, as far as exploits go, nowhere near as bad as the Strangled Heart dupe method from 76

He was a Marine and fought in Anchorage.

IIRC his anecdotes about the failure of power armor seem to jive with Fallout lore to some degree, specifically FO3: Operation Anchorage.

The T45 series was the first operational power armor and was flawed. US Forces in Anchorage couldn’t gain any ground until the T51b was introduced, and it was vastly superior to the T45. The T60 is an upgrade to the T51b, but if memory serves, the Chinese were defeated in Alaska before it was introduced into service.

So Cooper probably had experience with both the T45 and T51b.

Nope-in lore, the T51 is better than both T45 AND T60, but too expensive and not given to mass production. T60 is type improved T45 but suffers from the same riveted construction.

Damn, that's pretty cool. Especially with the engraving!

I REALLY need to get back to my Nuka Cola machine build. The 70's square body coke machine I'm using as a base has some moderate body damage, so I'm debating whether or not I want to try to fix that and make it look "new" or add similar damage to my bolt on components to make the whole thing look like a beat up one in the games.
