Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Fallout Lore: The Storyteller is a Machinima series about the universe of the Fallout franchise, created by the Shoddycast channel on YouTube, who also do similar series for other storyline-heavy universes.At first, it appeared to be simply be a in-universe recounting of certain parts of the Fallout games that players may have missed, forgotten about, or had never seen in the full context of the Fallout Universe. This was all well and good, and featured nicely done and heavily-researched in-engine recreations of scenes never before seen in the 3D Fallout games— or, in some cases, anywhere before.And then, at the end of the first season, the camera pulled back and revealed that a man in power armor was telling these stories. Since then, this "Storyteller" has slowly been fleshed out, and the series has become just as much about his adventures and the people he runs into in the wasteland as it is about the stories he tells.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The series is very well regarded and has even received some Approval of God cameos by major Fallout figures. To date, Erik Todd Dellums, Wes Johnson, and Heather Marie Marsden have reprised their roles from Fallout 3note Dellums as Three Dog, Johnson as Scribe Biggsley and an Original Character, and Marsden as Sarah Lyons, and Tim Cain, Chris Avellone, and Josh E. Sawyer have appeared as Chris's Bounty Hunters from Fallout.Sadly, the series came to a close with the finale of its 4th season in 2017, a casualty of the issues sweeping over the Shoddycast channel as a whole.Not to be confused with the Fallout episode of LORE in a Minute.

comment
Unreliable Narrator: Many things in Fallout can differ depending on who was playing it and the decisions they made, as well as the fact that the setting itself takes place in a post-apocalyptic hellhole, so this comes up a lot. Even the Storyteller, who is basically meant to be a walking Wiki of Falloutverse info, admits that he has no way of knowing for sure how some things went down.

Crapsack World: Again, this goes with being a work set in the Falloutverse. Subverted, however, in that the Storyteller often likes to find the beacons of hope, beauty and optimism when he can.

Walking the Earth: The Storyteller. He's implied that he's been doing this for decades, walking from one side of Post-Apocalyptic America to the other, for no other reason than learning about its stories and occasionally grabbing a souvenir here and there.

Fantastic Drug: The Season 2 episodes focusing on Nuka-Cola and Sunset Sasparilla reference both their drinks' status as potentially addictive compounds, due to the unscrupulous practices both used to try and dominate the soft drink market. Mention is also made of the problems their status as such causes in a world where their recipes have been lost forever.

comment
Hero with Bad Publicity: Some of the Player Characters from the games get this, usually from people from or descended from the "losing" side of their adventures, but sometimes due to misunderstandings. For example, The Chosen One is hated by Junior, who claims that the former murdered his father in cold blood and wouldn't even look him in the eye afterwards. The truth is that his father, Melchior, had turned into a murderous super mutant. The Chosen One killed him in self-defense, and never had the heart to tell Junior what happened.

Game Mod: Aside from utilizing many of them in the making of the show, there is also an official Shoddycast-created companion mod for New Vegas that features the Storyteller and ED-NA. Carried over into Fallout 4 with two mods. "Armor of the Storyteller" which gives the player their own suit of T-49 Power Armor and another "The Wasteland Codex", a holotape with recordings of the Storyteller narrating lore entries on various creatures, factions and other features of the wasteland that the player encounters.

Averted by Season 4's episode 12, where it's revealed she escaped from him in the Glowing Sea and has since been tracking him down to kill him.

The Tape Knew You Would Say That: When the Storyteller discovered that ED-NA was loaded with audio logs made by Three-Dog, one of the many things that the messages contained was a rhetorical question about how the Storyteller was able to go from the East Coast to the West Coast so quickly, the Storyteller attempted to answer it, only to remember that this was just a recording.

Evil Luddite
 Fallout Lore: The Storyteller (Machinima) / int_a19a70f8
comment
Evil Luddite: The Luddites in Season 3 Zig-Zag this trope: on the one hand, they look like most raiders/tribals, and have a violent streak against anybody with manufactured items from pre-War factories. On the other hand, they let travelers without high-tech items pass through their lands uninterrupted, and even when coming across those who carry high-tech items, they give them a chance to either give up those items (such as asking Junior to let them destroy his Chryslus Highwayman and laser rifle), or giving them a chance to just walk away (namely when the Storyteller waltzes over with Brotherhood of Steel power armor), which is a LOT more generous than even most wasteland factions who take a "shoot on sight" approach to intruders. Their leader, King Ludd, is also a Well-Intentioned Extremist who had a justified reason for instilling hatred of technology, what with them blowing the world into nuclear ash in the first place, and even lets the Storyteller's party heal the few survivors of the St. Louis Massacre with their Stimpaks.

comment
No Canon for the Wicked: While the possible "evil" actions of the Fallout player characters are often brought up as either hypothetical scenarios or through a more-than-usual Unreliable Narrator, the series usually goes with the "official" canon that has the player characters being more-or-less paragons of virtue and goodness.

Alternate History: Part of the fun of the series is how it delves into what makes the Falloutverse one. Also, occasionally non-canon endings or decisions will be brought up, showing how the events could have gone differently.

Serial Escalation
 Fallout Lore: The Storyteller (Machinima) / int_ce104b8e
comment
Serial Escalation: Has gone from a fairly straight-forward documentary series, to a documentary series with a framing device, to a documentary series where the framing device at times threatens to overshadow the documentary. Note that this also deals with what is covered in the series. Early entries focused on certain aspects like cultures or events, while later series have begun to more-or-less recount the plotlines of entire games.

Crossover
 Fallout Lore: The Storyteller (Machinima) / int_eb6da8ef
comment
Crossover: The Storyteller has appeared in episodes of Shoddycast's "Hidden History" and "Galaxy News Network". These presumably are not canon to the Fallout Lore series proper, especially since the GNN appearance was essentially a comedy sketch about how long fans had been waiting to hear Fallout 4 announced.

You Bastard!
 Fallout Lore: The Storyteller (Machinima) / int_f642b1f9

You Bastard!: Basically says this to Fallout players who go on murderous in-game rampages for no real reason by showing the aftermath of just such an event, with the Storyteller saying that he had heard of "lunatics" and "deranged" individuals who have done things like this, while giving examples of some of the more evil things a player can do in the series (such as dropping a nuke in the middle of town, or sniping innocent people from a distance). Some overlap with Take That, Audience!. Further made clear by the fact that the perpetrator actually possesses the cloned brain of a previous Fallout player character, in essence telling the audience that they, in a way, did this.

Running Gag: Every time we are about to hear the Storyteller's real name, either he is interrupted, or something occurs that causes us not to hear it. Other characters complaining about, cutting off, or finishing the Storyteller's "story for another day" line at the end of videos. People getting annoyed at the Storyteller's habit of entering a Exposition Dump. "ED-NA's a bitch."
