"Fallout finally returns with Season 2, and with it comes an exciting new setting, taking the show from the sunny shores of Los Angeles to the sweltering heat of the Mojave Wasteland. While this setting hails from the beloved classic Fallout: New Vegas, it provides new opportunities to expand on the world of Fallout with an entirely fresh perspective. Even though we're only one episode in, there are plenty of easter eggs and references for eagle-eyed viewers and die hard fans to catch. Here's a look at some of the nods we noticed in the show's introduction to the Mojave Wasteland."
"Dinky The Dinosaur in Fallout: New Vegas Fans of Fallout: New Vegas will recognize this iconic landmark from the town of Novac. Dinky The Dinosaur stands guard over the desolate town and proved to be a wonderful sniper perch for companion Boone, who players met through one of New Vegas' most iconic quests. Lucy (Ella Purnell) uses Dinky in similar fashion as she picks off numerous Great Khans with a rifle of her own. Dinky The Dinosaur was inspired by the real life Cabazon Dinosaurs, a landmark in Southern California located just west of Palm Springs."
"Mary Robbins' Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs When the plan to rob the Great Khans goes south, Lucy and The Ghoul (Walton Goggins) have to shoot their way out. When this happens, we're treated to a needle drop of one of the most iconic songs from the soundtrack of Fallout: New Vegas. "Big Iron" by Marty Robbins is a country western song from 1959 that tells the story of an Arizona Ranger dueling with a ruthless outlaw, a fitting song for The Ghoul to dispatch his enemies to. While in combat, we also see numerous Khans explode in gory fashion, possibly referencing the "Bloody Mess" perk from the Fallout video games that would amp up the gore and viscera for players who used a big iron of their own."
Season 2 relocates Fallout from Los Angeles to the Mojave Wasteland, drawing directly from Fallout: New Vegas and offering fresh narrative and visual possibilities. The premiere packs numerous Easter eggs and references aimed at longtime fans. Dinky The Dinosaur appears as a prominent landmark and sniper perch, echoing its Novac role and the real-life Cabazon Dinosaurs. Lucy uses Dinky to pick off Great Khans, mirroring in-game moments involving Boone. A needle drop of Marty Robbins' "Big Iron" accompanies a violent escape, and on-screen gore suggests a nod to the Bloody Mess perk. A water purification chip reference also appears.
