Fallout Intro

The Fallout intro are opening cinematics in Fallout.

Background
The first video provides an overview of the themes and important aspects of the game, including Vault-Tec, nuclear war, and the respite of the Vaults. The viewer is introduced to the conflict overseas and subsequent current violence underway. Advertisements give insight into the aesthetic of the time, introducing products and the general retro-futuristic style. The video cuts out, setting the tone for the subsequent narration.

Overview
The intro begins with "Maybe" by The Ink Spots and a screen of a Radiation King television set showing a Vault-Tec ad for Vault 13, featuring the Vault Boy watering plants and waving at the camera as the Vault blast door closes, followed by the "Vault of the Future" picture.

Then a Galaxy News Network (GNN) program starts, stating that "Our dedicated boys keep the peace in newly annexed Canada" and showing two American soldiers in power armor executing a Canadian insurgent and waving at the camera. A power-armored soldier is then shown in front of the American flag with 13 stars and a war bond ad. Next, ads for Corvega and Mister Handy appear before the TV shuts down and the music echoes into the latent ambiance of the destroyed world. This occurs as the camera pulls out from close up of the television screen and slowly reveals the ruins the television set stands on and the open view of Necropolis from the half-collapsed structure.

Narration
After the cinematic intro, a series of still photographs with narration by Ron Perlman follows.

Overseer intro
The overseer intro is a cutscene designed to give the player character the first quest and background information about the situation at hand in Vault 13.

Appearances
The intro appears only in Fallout.
