Fallout 4 Characters' Sad Fates Share One Thing In Common With The Fallout TV Show
27.05.2024 - 03:07 / screenrant.com
A prominent character in shares an uncommonly tragic fate with one from the TV show. Although the video games and TV show don't share any major characters, they do share lore. That means they feature a lot of the same concepts, and characters with similar backgrounds. These tenuous connections reveal which kinds of stories are common in the Wasteland, which in turn helps characterize the world of 's setting.
But, in a rare coincidence, two characters from and the TV show share similar backstories, in more ways than one. The similarities further extend to how they're portrayed in their respective pieces of media. This speaks not only to the nature of the characters themselves, but also to their place in the wider universe, and also hints at the future of the franchise.

Once the Sole Survivor comes to visit him, the Vault-Tec rep can be recruited as one of 's settlers. He can use his hundreds of years of sales experience to run any settlement's trading post.
Meanwhile, the TV show stars a character known simply as The Ghoul. Pre-War, he was better known as the actor Cooper Howard. Much like 's Vault-Tec rep, Cooper also worked as a representative for Vault-Tec, in the capacity of celebrity spokesperson. His prominent position in the company might've gained him a spot in one of their Vaults, but he had a falling out with its executives following their proposal to use the Vaults as social experiments. By the time the bombs dropped, Cooper was divorced and disillusioned, performing at a child's birthday party to make ends meet.
The TV show also confirms that Howard was the inspiration for 's mascot Vault Boy, even pioneering his signature thumbs-up gesture.
Per lore, ghouls are created by gene-obliterating exposure to gamma rays, which Cooper and the Vault-Tec rep both experienced during the Great
