Welcome to the Fallout lore cast,

0:19.0

the podcast that explores the boundaries of our knowledge about the world of Fallout.

0:26.6

One of the reasons why I love Fallout so much is that the setting and the different characters, the factions, the world, the monsters,

0:34.6

lend themselves so well to a variety of different ways that you can engage with them.

0:42.6

Now, what I'm talking about is how Fallout over time has changed the way, or at least the games

And this is going to be a wonderful conversation because Brad is from the 40K lore cast and he knows his stuff.

1:52.0

He's been playing these games since the 1980s.
