Fallout Season-Finale Recap: Welcome to the Wasteland

Honestly, I couldn’t have been happier when the NCR troops showed up in Freeside! I practically jumped out of my chair – it was a total fanboy moment, especially with that shot of the NCR Ranger taking down the Deathclaw, mirroring the opening from Fallout: New Vegas. Looking back, all the fuss about Shady Sands being destroyed in season one seems a little overblown. It was clear they weren’t going to just eliminate one of the most beloved factions without a bigger plan. Now it’s setting up an epic war between the Legion and the NCR for control of the Strip – and the Legion’s opening scene with the “Caesar’s Palace” joke was brilliant! I’m guessing season three will largely focus on this new conflict, while we also follow the Ghoul’s journey to Colorado, hopefully leading to a reunion with Barb and Janey. And the Enclave? It looks like they’ve been operating in Colorado all along, and I have a feeling they’ll be the main villains by the end of next season.
