The Fallout TV show finale features plenty of big references to all of the best Fallout games, but perhaps its most poignant comes from Walton Goggins' character. Spoilers for the Fallout season 1 ending to follow.
In the final episode, we finally learn the truth about how involved Vault-Tec have been in the origins of dropping the bombs. Goggins’ Cooper Howard is listening to his wife’s Barb’s call as he hears her speak about how humanity will always be obsessed with conflict. "War never changes," she says, speaking an iconic line from the games. Then, later in the finale, Goggins’ Ghoul says the same thing to Lucy, two centuries later.
