Some games are very dependent on their story for their worth. Whether it be Dragon Age, The Elder Scrolls, or, in this case, Fallout, the main reason that you play these RPG's is for their stories. Of course, sometimes their stories can become a little bit convoluted, and the lore of their universe too expansive. Luckily, ShoddyCast is here to shed some light on their brilliantly detailed worlds.
Like most things I discover on the internet, I found ShoddyCast by complete and utter accident while doing my typical internet browsing that usually forms part of my work schedule. (Don't ask how that works, it makes no sense to me either really.) In any case, suffice to say that I soon found myself watching the absolutely enrapturing and fantastically narrated Fallout Lore series on the ShoddyCast channel. (When I say enrapturing, I mean I watched every episode today...)
So what's so good about this series? Simple, it tells you the tale of American Wasteland from both before and after the great war and atomic bombs dropping, and all the stories of those within it from the original Fallout game all the way to Fallout: New Vegas. (Suffice to say this is gamer nerd's dream and I was quite happy to spend about 4 hours watching every single video in a row.) Quite literally the best part was finding out that many of the characters I knew from the latter 2 Fallout games had a history in the earlier games that I had never had the opportunity to play, and as such, thoroughly enjoyed the experience. (Admittedly, if you've never played any of the Fallout games then a lot of the coolness or sentimental value of the lore will probably be lost on you... but then... why haven't you played any of these games yet?)
In any case, I've shared the first video of the series above to give you a first hand experience of what the ShoddyCast narration is like. (Which I personally think is really awesome and very well done... Just saying.) Give it a watch, and if you like it or find it interesting, then follow this link to watch the entire series in order. Also, don't forget to give the Dragon Age and Elder Scrolls lore series' a check as well. (I have yet to watch them myself, hence why this post is somewhat exclusively on the Fallout Series. That and the fact that I did a post about hoarding that was centered around Fallout in the past. Teehee)
