10 Crucial Questions Fallout Season 2 Must Answer

10. How Did Moldaver Live for So Long?

One of the most unexpected and still unexplained twists of Fallout Season 1 was Lee Moldaver being Cooper Howard’s contemporary. Despite not being a ghoul or a cryopodded Vault-Tec employee, Moldaver somehow survived in the Wasteland for well over two centuries and didn’t age a day. What was her immortality secret?

9. Will Maximus Be a Bro or a Gent?

Maximus’s entire character arc in Season 1 was him wanting to be a celebrated hero without risking his power armor-clad bottom. Then Lucy came around and started changing him for the better… But in the finale, Max did become a hero in the eyes of the Brotherhood and was promoted to a Knight. Will he chase Lucy or notoriety?

8. What Happened to the Howards?

Alright, we know that Cooper was left out in the Wasteland and became the Ghoul. Barb, his wife, was most likely put in a cryopod as a high-ranking Vault-Tec exec. But what happened to their daughter Janey? When the bombs dropped, she was with Cooper, but we saw him interrogate Hank MacLean about her. How did he lose her?

7. How Was Cooper’s Plot Discovered?

It’s clear that Cooper Howard’s spying on his wife and against Vault-Tec was uncovered at one point, what’s with him losing the contract and Barb both. But how did it happen, and did Vault-Tec retaliate in a meaningful way? Did Barb keep her soon former husband’s secret or rat him out to the almighty corporation she served?

6. How Will the Three-Vault Experiment End?

Vaults 31, 32, and 33 are unique, and we’ve already learned why. But Fallout Season 1 ended with Norman being stuck in Vault 33 with an insane brain-on-a-roomba and the populace of Vaults 31 and 32 unaware of the truth. Will Norm be able to put an end to Vault-Tec’s Three-Vault tyranny? And what will happen next if he does it?

5. What Will Vault-Tec Top Execs Do Next?

From several Season 1 clues, we can deduce that Hank MacLean’s headed for New Vegas to awaken his superiors: the Vault-Tec top executives who should be currently frozen in cryo pods there. But that definitely wasn’t their plan, being brought back mid-post-apocalypse by a cretin who messed up. What will they do when awoken?

4. What Factions Have Still Maintained Control?

So far, we know that the Brotherhood is on the rise and the NCR is seemingly destroyed — or at least, large parts of it are. But the Wasteland houses countless factions, and with some of them falling, others must rise. What became of the Caesar’s Legion? Did the NCR remnants forge new alliances? Who’s in control?

3. What Will the BoS Do With Cold Fusion?

The Brotherhood of Steel got its hands on the Cold Fusion technology. Infinite clean energy equals infinite power for those who hold it — but like any power, it can be used for a bunch of purposes. The local Brotherhood seems more radicalized than its game counterparts, so we’re curious to see what they’ll do with Cold Fusion.

2. Will the Enclave Claim What’s Theirs?

The Fallout TV show revealed the terrifying truth: the Enclave is still alive and kicking. Prospering, even, with large compounds and hi-tech research facilities. Surely, they must have noticed their top scientist escaping with the infinite clean energy technology! Will they come for the Brotherhood to reclaim what was theirs?

1. What Were the Two Major Disasters?

Fallout Season 1 dropped two post-war bombs — both literally and figuratively. Shady Sands, the NCR capital, and New Vegas, Mr. House’s domain, were both destroyed years ago. The questions we’re the most curious about are as follows: what was the “Fall of Shady Sands” which came even before Hank nuked the city — and what exactly happened to New Vegas, leading to its complete obliteration?
