From radroaches to deathclaws, there are a lot of things in Fallout that I’m happy don’t exist in real life. But there are several elements of its sci-fi technology that I wouldn’t mind having around for day-to-day use. Who wouldn’t want a handy-dandy Pip-Boy on their wrist?
However, the cast and showrunner of Fallout have their own ideas about what technology they’d steal from the series.
‘Fallout’ Season 2 review: Our introduction to New Vegas is a blast, and more relevant than ever
In an interview with Mashable, Fallout co-creator and showrunner Geneva Robertson-Dworet revealed she would steal cold fusion, the revolutionary, limitless power source introduced at the end of Season 1. That technology continues to play a big role in Season 2, as the forces of the wasteland jockey to control it — and the fate of the world.
Meanwhile, Aaron Moten, who plays Brotherhood of Steel Knight Maximus, would choose an item that’s very on-brand for his character: the T-60 power armor suit.
“Just for getting groceries, or walking the dog,” Moten joked. “Just the simple things in life, where you want to be impervious.”
Walton Goggins, who plays the Ghoul/Cooper Howard, opted for a different route entirely.
“I don’t like technology, you know? A phone depresses me. I’m going to be the only person to just say nothing,” Goggins said. “You can have it, you can keep it! I don’t want to live in that world!”
The response sounds like it came straight from Cooper Howard’s mouth. “He avoids technology for sure,” Goggins said. “He’s an analog guy, which I think makes him so appealing, at least to me, anyway.”
