I can’t wait for Fallout season 2 to dive into New Vegas – here are 6 things I’m desperate to see when the Prime Video show returns

Fallout season 2's launch is imminent, as we finally know that the post-apocalyptic Prime Video series returns on December 17 thanks to the recently released trailer.

The trailer for the new season revealed who's playing Mr. House, a Deathclaw, and more, but as a massive Fallout: New Vegas fan there's so much more I want to see from the adaptation.

As someone with an embarrassing amount of hours on that game, I have explored much of its rich, fascinating and sometimes ridiculous world. While I appreciate the series can't show everything from the game, there's things I've been hoping we'll get to see.

The Fallout series hasn't followed the plot of the games exactly, so some of my favorite things might not show up in the TV series. But here are six things I am praying show up when the series returns.

1. The White Glove Society

The New Vegas Strip is home to many casinos and among these is the Ultra-Luxe, a high end establishment where staff and members dress well and eat at a restaurant called The Gourmand.

But they're hiding a very dark secret that you as the player can uncover. Given their iconic status among fans, it would be really cool to see them adapted for the screen. They would likely serve as antagonists, and I'd love them to go head to head with The Ghoul and Lucy.

2. Mr. New Vegas

Unlike the radio host Three Dog in Fallout 3, Mr. New Vegas is never seen and instead exists purely in audio form through the Pip-Boy. But it would be interesting to see him included anyway, even if it is just his voice in the background of some scenes.

A since-archived Bethesda blog suggested that Mr. New Vegas "was created by Mr. House, so he’s literally just a voice. He tells what’s going on in the world, he’s always upbeat, and he has some very bizarre lines". So, it's unlikely he'll get a physical form, unless TV show changes things.

3. NCR and Caesar's Legion

As the two main warring factions in Fallout: New Vegas, I am expecting to see both the New California Republic (NCR) and Caesar's Legion in the series. The first trailer for Fallout season 2 gave us a very quick look at the Legion, confirming they will appear.

Prime Video has definitely been teasing fans as we don't know who is playing Caesar, the head of a brutal totalitarian dictatorship that is directly opposed to the NCR. But if these two factions cross paths in the series, we can expect some epic fight scenes coming up.

4. Benny and The Tops casino

The late, great Matthew Perry voiced Benny in Fallout: New Vegas, the man who shot your player character in the head and who you want revenge on (naturally). Benny and his checkered coat and nefarious schemes are a big part of New Vegas, so I would love some Benny scenes in the series.

He can be found at The Tops in the game, another casino on the New Vegas Strip, and while we won't meet him like we do in the game there's still a chance he'll appear in the series.

5. A deathclaw fight

Oh come on, we need an epic scene with the scariest creature in the game. The very end of the trailer did confirm one will appear, and I have high hopes for how it'll be introduced.

This has potential to be the biggest fight in season 2 and I really hope they deliver. Perhaps an unfortunate trip to Quarry Junction, the Deathclaw infested part of the New Vegas map is on the cards? I can't wait to see how it all plays out.

6. More vaults

Fallout: New Vegas is full of abandoned underground vaults for the player to explore. We all know that Vault-Tec is a seriously shady company and these vaults were conducting human experiments.

Some of my favorite vaults in the whole series appear on this map so I would love to see the characters in the series stumble across Vault 11, which hosted annual elections for an overseer who would be sacrificed, otherwise they'd all die. It's one of the most twisted locations in the game.
