The Fallout TV show is packed full of characters, factions, locations, and items familiar to any who has played the beloved RPGs. There are so many easter eggs to spot that we found 111 video game details in Season 1 alone. With season two heading to a fan-favourite part of the Fallout universe, New Vegas, naturally, a whole new flood of iconography is set to make its way from the games into the Prime Video series. So, we’ll be digging into each and every episode and picking out everything we’ve noticed that relates to the source material.
You can check out everything we found in episode two, but here, we’ll be taking a look at every video game easter egg and details we spotted in episode three of Fallout Season 2.
Characters and Factions
1. Early in the episode we’re introduced to Caesar’s Legion, the Roman-themed faction from New Vegas. The group escorting Lucy into their camp is made up of a number of enemy types from the game: leading the group is a Centurion, backed up by a couple of Vexilliarii. Bringing up the rear are some Praetorian Guards.
2. Moments later, we see a Frumentarius scout in the background, identified by their wolf skin headpiece. Another can be seen a few seconds later, pulling teeth from a victim.
3. A Recruit Decanus can be seen as Lucy is escorted across the camp, identified by their black and red headpiece and masked face.
4. Macaulay Culkin’s character is a Legate, the Legion’s second in command. As with everyone in the show’s version of the Legion, he’s not a character we’ve met before – his name is Lacerta, and the Legates we encountered in New Vegas were Lanius and Malpais.
5. Leading the Legion is Caesar. While he wears the same black feathered cloak and a similar golden pin broach to the Caesar we met in the New Vegas game, this is not the same person. This is a new leader, who inherits the title Caesar.
6. The Caesar we know from the game, Edward Sallow, can be seen later… Well, his corpse can, at least.
7. Quintus mentions Roger Maxson during his explanation of the Brotherhood of Steel’s founding. Formerly a captain in the US military, Maxson mutinied upon discovery of human experiments. He went on to found the Brotherhood and became its High Elder. Maxson has never been seen in any of the Fallout games, but has been mentioned in almost all of them.
8. The Ghoul meets with Victor, a Securitron who during the events of New Vegas was working directly for Robert House. He used to be a remote scout who observed the town of Goodprings for his master. Technically speaking, Victor is an AI that can hop between robot bodies, so this particular Securitron seen in the show may not be one we’ve encountered in the game.
