There are some lines that are just impossible to forget, and for some old-time Fallout fans, the sentence "War. War never changes" is probably up there as one of the most iconic lines ever uttered in a videogame. It was repurposed in the recent Fallout TV series and given to Walton Goggins' character, Cooper Howard, who is later known as The Ghoul, but even after saying the line, Goggins has only just been told of its significance.
Originally, "war never changes" was said by actor Ron Perlman in the opening narration of the first Fallout game. The opening speech describes the history of war and how waging it is just human nature before Perlman goes on to describe what war in the present would look like, fighting over nuclear arms, which would eventually lead to humanity's downfall.
