I Did The Maths And Worked Out What Level All These Fallout Tv Show...

The second season of the Fallout TV Show is almost upon us, but before we can bask in the glorious light of New Vegas' neon-lit casinos, it's time to reflect on the first season and understand just how far each of our main characters came.

By the end of season one, Lucy had found her dad, The Ghoul was closing in on finding his family, Maximus was welcomed back into the Brotherhood of Steel as a war hero, and Thaddeus, well, Thaddeus is ghoulifying somewhere in the Wasteland. It was a big season for all of them, but all progress can be measured and analysed somehow. I'm not interested in any heartfelt moments of growth: I want to see the numbers.

So let's get down to business. Just how many levels did each of these characters gain over the course of Fallout season one? The method I used was similar to the one YouTuber ManyATrueNerd used to work out what level Lucy got to by the end of the first season, with a couple of tweaks.

First off, as Lucy is the main character, most of the groundwork is based on her. As she establishes skills like repair, science, and speech, I'll be using Fallout 3's framework (with a few exceptions). All characters are playing in survival mode, which gives more XP, but on a low difficulty—that Yao Guai went down way too quickly for this to be any other difficulty.

Each character has one main mission to complete and then a number of side missions that they can get less XP for. Characters will also get minimal XP for discovering new locations, taking out raiders, ghouls, or Wasteland critters.

Lucy makes it to level 8 after amassing 5,057 XP throughout the course of the eight episodes. But let me tell you how she got here.

Her big mission was finding her father, which she did manage to do by the end of episode eight, but XP came in other ways as well:

Lucy getting a new finger may only be a small achievement but it'll make life in the Wasteland much easier.

Unfortunately, Lucy did miss out on what could have been a decent payday when she failed to get the scientist's head back from the Gulper or take the mutant monster out. It was a failed mission, but we've all experienced that.
