Naivety can either be your saving grace or the thing that kills you. Luckily for Lucy, it ends up being her biggest asset. In episode three there was a lot to take in with each character showing more and more of who they are. In this episode we also see more of the mechanics of the game brought to life as well, such as grabbing any weapon you can to fight, the transition between storylines, and the rose-colored glasses Vault 33 needs to have glued to their faces at all times. This episode is the show's awakening period, and it will only get better from here. A tragic story, a humbling beginning In this episode of Fallout, we see the story of the Ghoul and why he's as bitter as he is. We see Maximus's ego grow substantially after acquiring his squire, Lucy is starting to see how crucial survival is, and how unfortunately you can win people over with a smile and a few nice words. While every episode feels chaotic, it is incredibly organized, the same way the games are in their questlines. This episode more heavily focuses on the Ghoul's character and who he was before the nuclear bomb. Lucy is a reminder to the Ghoul of the humanity that was lost and is struggling to come back to the surface. Further into the episode you see this awakening period when Vault 33 wants to reducate the raiders that they have imprisoned. Norm is one of the only people that sees things the way they are. The raiders aren't people you can educate, they're murderers that made resurfacing even more difficult than it already was. Going from the reality of the Vault to the surface, to Lucy's missing head problem it's all so incredibly seamless and unified in the story. The biggest thing by far was the power trip Maximus went on when he got a new squire, I had a pit in my stomach and thought, "I hope he doesn't become the thing he hates." This episode was fantastic, I can't wait to see what episode 4 has in store!
