Fallout season two is just one episode in, but it looks like everyone already loves it. Lucy and the Ghoul have been making their way to the fan-favourite New Vegas, and the show has already revealed some characters and references from the game. In fact, it also featured some content that didn’t make it to the final game.
Mr House is arguably the biggest video game character to make it into the show, and played a big part in episode one. While it looks like he’ll be a central figure this season, actor Justin Theroux may have just revealed another New Vegas character that could appear in the show, and it’s one of the weirdest characters in the game.
This One’s For You Protectron Freaks
As spotted by PC Gamer, Theroux appeared on the Fallout Fake Talkshow, a bonus feature where the Snake Oil Salesman interviews the cast and crew in a hilarious way. At some point during the interview, they played ‘spin the bottle’, but Theroux is saved from kissing the host as the bottle points to the Protectron sitting next to him. Unfortunately, it didn’t look like the robot was keen either, as it made alarming sounds.
At that point, Theroux asks, “How long has Fisto been working with you?” Fallout: New Vegas nerds might remember that Fisto was a very peculiar automaton from the game. In the mission “Wang Dang Atomic Tango,” you’ll come across Fisto, a reprogrammed automaton that works as an escort and appeals to some people’s robot fantasies. You can even fulfill your robot fantasies with him.
Fallout’s Latest Trailer Has Me Incredibly Worried For Ghoulcy
Fans shipped Lucy and the Ghoul in the first season, but season two cannot make that canon.
Maybe Theroux is just a big Fallout: New Vegas fan, or maybe he knew Fisto’s name because he shows up at some point in the series. Hopefully, it wasn’t a scripted segment, and Theroux mistakenly revealed that the automaton will make an appearance. Fisto would perfectly fit the show’s setting, even if it’s for just a short scene.
