  I love Fallout but have zero interest in TV series. I’m just a video game guy rather than a TV guy.

    It’s honestly such a good show though

      They murdered the West Coast canon… And everything else was awesome.

      Should have nuked the Midwest canon, it deserved it.

      Also, simply the best physical casting for the main character in history, because she has angles where she’s absolutely gorgeous and others that are VERY unflattering and that’s the most Fallout character designer a person can possibly be.

      The first 2 episodes of season 2 seem to be meandering. Whole movies have complete story arcs in less time than that.

    Fallout 4 was the only game I played, but I love the TV show. Might check out some other games myself sometime.

      3 and New Vegas are both really good. If you liked the story of 4, you’ll probably love those other two.

  Could also be attributed to the fact that the games were on a deep discount during the Steam winter sale.

  Personally the show just makes me feel sad, everything is grand and scaled up yet nothing matters and everything feels tiny. So I’ll just list of several nitpiks because I feel like it:

  • The NCR is randomly dead for some BS reason and we’re all just supposed to accept that nothing rises from the ashes. As if a nuke could kill the NCR considering in NV leadership is clearly more local.
  • The legion is simplified and dulled down with no praetorian, no centurions, and no frumentarii. Then they’re probably just killed or something because Bethesda hates factions now I guess.
  • The brotherhood is just all style no substance like the rest of the show
  • Minor factions like the followers ofc don’t appear at all
  • The MC is unbearable, how does one exist in the fallout universe yet always pick the wrong dialogue options?

  Im not asking for it to be deep and philosophical, hell it doesn’t even need to have NV levels of Hegalian dialectics, but at least some substance other than “vault tech is big bad and society is perpetually dead”

    Perfect encapsulation of Bethesda in general. All sound a fury i signifying nothing.

  I may play it one day. It’s it a controller game, or can I kick it with a mouse and keyboard?

    Both work. It’s a sandbox game. I can’t stand the cardboard cutout characters, but the mechanics are fun for a bit.
