Fallout TV Show Just Released Its Characters' Stats & It's Hilarious
The line between the show and the video games grows ever thinner as Fallout gives Prime Video’s characters official stats.
Summary:
- Prime Video ’s Fallout TV show is based on a popular video game series of the same name.
- In Fallout the Video Games, all characters have SPECIAL stats that describe their natural attributes.
- With the recent addition of Lucy, Maximus, The Ghoul, and Ma June into Fallout Shelter, the show’s characters received their official SPECIAL stats.
Prime Video’s latest TV show Fallout is a treat in its own right, but it’s essential to remember that it’s based on an old and popular video game franchise of the same name.
Fallout’s creators definitely haven’t forgotten about it, per say, since recently, they released the new “official stats” for the TV show’s main characters — and we have to say, they are quite fun to go through.
All Fallout Characters Have SPECIAL Stats
In the Fallout universe, there is an ultimate system of grading everyone’s natural abilities — SPECIAL.
That Caps Lock is not us being dramatic; SPECIAL is an anagram for the seven stats this system evaluates: Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck.
In the video games, each character has these stats, and they define their playstyle and abilities available to them.
While the SPECIAL system is predominantly used by the Vault Dwellers, everyone else can be evaluated according to it — even ghouls and paladins, for instance. For the Prime Video show, it would have been dumb to include a sudden SPECIAL evaluation scene for random characters; but for video games, it makes sense.
Thankfully, Prime Video’s Fallout TV show’s characters just joined one of the Fallout games, and now we know their SPECIAL stats!
How SPECIAL Are Lucy and Maximus?
Since they were recently added to the official mobile game Fallout Shelter as Legendary Dwellers, the TV show’s main characters’ SPECIAL stats are now available for all to see on the game’s Wiki. Here’s what they look like.
Name/ SPECIAL | Strength | Perception | Endurance | Charisma | Intelligence | Agility | Luck |
Lucy MacLean | 4 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 6 | 5 | 7 |
Maximus | 7 | 6 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 7 | 5 |
The Ghoul | 5 | 6 | 7 | 7 | 4 | 7 | 4 |
Ma June | 5 | 7 | 5 | 7 | 6 | 4 | 6 |
These stats are genuinely close to what we saw in the show. Indeed, Lucy was very lucky when she ventured from her native Vault and got into a hitch, and Maximus is the ultimate Wasteland himbo (though not quite the Idiot Savant). It might take a while for us to stop laughing at Lucy’s Strength being lower than Ma June’s, but we’re sure it’ll pass.
