>the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters
those Black folk were lab rats, are they moronic?
these "people" never played the games
Which is relatively luxurious compared to dying from dehydration or trichinosis or radiation sickness at 20
Lab rats live in relative luxury
Lab rats get daily meals and don't have to fear being eaten like their wild cousins
They'd be lucky if their daily meals aren't laced with drugs or lethal chemicals.
There were plenty of control vaults that weren’t experiments.
There were 11 control vaults out of a hundred and something total vaults
woah. gamingsister, language
>those Black folk were lab rats, are they moronic?
why the frick would they spoil normies on a major plot point before they even start watching? are you a fricking idiot?
What's funny is that this is treated like a surprise twist in the show. Lmao
You have to remember the TV show is for normalgays who haven't played the games. And honestly it's a decent twist from that perspective.
the worst part of the entire show is that they reveal Agent Cooper was alive pre-war when
1. we've known for episodes that he's from vault 31
2. we've already seen that vault 31 is nothing but cryo tubes
what the frick were they thinking?
That's the twist, morono
>all the paid shills say it's good!
>people use Rings of Power and LGBT capeshit rotten tomato scores to show that "real" people didn't like the shows, only paid reviewers did
>people accuse anything with high scores in both of having fake audience scores
Can't have it both ways, Black folk. Just take the L and admit that the show is good. You'll look less moronic.
DO NOT REDEEM YOU BLOODY b***h BASTARD SIR
use Rings of Power and LGBT capeshit rotten tomato scores to show that "real" people didn't like the shows
Yes, because those scores are real.
accuse anything with high scores in both of having fake audience scores
Yes, because those scores are fake and have proven to be fake.
>Can't have it both waysscores are real and positive scores aren't!
Yes I can, because RT has been caught fixing positive review scores. This means that every single positive score on their site is fixed and worthless.
Prove that they're fake then dumbass
>take the L
Why is it that all people shilling this DEI crap reveal they arent from here just by the way they speak?
No they're from here, they use zoomer lingo because it obviously triggers (You).
Sure, Rajeesh
Give it a couple of months, we'll see the real audience score of Fallout then.
Imagine using rotting tomatoes as your "win" card. The absolute state of (You).
I could use the "money it made" card or the "fallout games sales increased" card as well. Whichever one you prefer, it is my treat 🙂
Good morning sirs!
Fallout fans are so neglected that they'll take anything at this point. Next up, An Elder Scrolls series where Emperor Uriel Septim is retroactively black, Redguards all become slaves for the "media literate" redditors to point out and the Dwarves left Nirn because it would make them all rich for the capitalism bad allegory
>Fallout fans are so neglected that they'll take anything at this point
Beyond that, I think you udnerestimate the number of people who only played fallout 3 and up, and think fallout 4 is the best one. They're more common than you'd think, and this is the perfect slop for them.
It's also how every normalgay is going to find out about the series in the first place. My fricking mom talked to me about fallout.
>story of haves and have nots
pass
Eh? But you're missing out on the secret history of how greedy capitalists started the Great War for profit, doesn't that sound interesting? It wasn't China, by the way, China would never do something like that unless it was in self-defense.
audience score should be at least 95+ but is already gatting review bombed by troony vegas drones.
Good morning sirs, please send bobs.
as much value as zimbawe "trillion" dollar bill since saint fentanyl
Damn that's hilarious, but the ratings on the left are higher on than the ratings on the right.
This image is extremely fake. Nothing gets past me!
/thread
normalgays are mentally moronic.
You didn't watch it and let people you don't know make opinions for you
You're a normie too. Just not on the side of people that don't consider you a normie. Low IQ pleb that lets others decide his opinions
its shit but at least its fun to shit on unlike the snoozefest that was galo
uhmm THE PEOPLE like it!
I would say it's mid. You can tell love was put into the sets and costumes. I thought the polt and storytelling were kinda dumb but at the same time, it mirrors the way the game presents lots of side quest bullshit scenarios so in a way it was true to the source. The gore and action are all right and it doesn't shy away from gross stuff which is important for the atmosphere. Built to be consoomed.
It's 6/10. Better then halo and all other shit we have got in the past 5 years, but i highly thought i will rewatch this shit ever again. Second season will definitely go full troonycaliforniawoke -mode.
>It's 6/10. Better then halo and all other shit we have got in the past 5 years
watch shit other than tv shows about vidya? youre complaining but only watching capeshit basically
better call saul is unironically the only good western television we've gotten in ages
No it's worse than shit. It's a show that probably would have been a 7/10 if it just MADE ITS OWN UNIVERSE. Using an established universe and coming up with something so uninspired, anti-canon and tone-deaf is unforgivable.
Hes (formerly) white and male.
>Saves the Fallout franchise
How exactly is it saved? This show will most likely be the last thing ever done with it.
don't forget all the fallout 76 microtransaction updates, as well as the fallout 4 microtransaction updates! coming soon!
Wrong board

!!!TRADE OFFER!!!

Your response?
Give me 2 CUTE BUG EYED WIFE and I'll consider
I don't prod- I mean sure. Sounds fair
Shame buddy is probably shooting blanks from all the radiation, preggers lucy could be funny
The whole show took place over the course of like 3 weeks, it might still happen.
I can't unsee it now.
>[CUTE BUG EYED WIFE]
Ok where is she? You said cute right?
The woman in the image is not cute so...
Accept
Show was fun. gaygout Neo vegana freaking out about canon was even more fun even though very little was de-canonized
Shhh, don't tell them, they need Creedfurhomosexual to make another 12 hour video having a meltdown on why it's not Morrowind or NV
I thought the show was a 6/10. Him and Lucy were the only people I liked.
> angry joe
Didn't watch his review yet, but if that's what he also gave it I should check it out. Didn't hate the show, but meh. Thought it could've been better.
It's a 6/10 if you think of it as Bethesda Fallout, it's a 3/10 if you think of it as West Coast Fallout
I honestly didn't dislike it, but it has glaring flaws regardless. Definitely one of the better video game adaptations.
genuine question: how much blacked stuff is there?
Lucy tries to seduce Maximus but hes too moronic to understand that. The other primarily Protag, Copper/The Ghoul does colonize some black pussy though.
Its not super preachy, for an Amazon original, but it does that thing where only women and PoCs are allowed to be heroic and cool. Every white male is either evil, stupid or incompetent.
It's ;literally the opposite. All the minorities leaders are evil. You can even argue that Maximus is neutral evil. The Vault 4 overseer is white and reasonably kind
There's no cool or good PoC in this series. Maximus is a butt monkey who viewers despise and the Ghoul's wife is pure evil. I don't think there's a single "good" character other than Lucy and that one Vault.
I noticed this too
Maximus
Effectively murders his knight, steals his armor, effectively sentences his squire buddy to being a ghoul even after the squire proved he was a decent guy, was happy to let a whole vault die just so he could keep larping as a knight
Moldavar
Kills a ton of innocent vault dwellers just to kidnap Agent Cooper, even very nearly causes the death of the children of her lesbian ghoul gf. Also she's like a feared presence in the wasteland so obviously shes done some other heinous shit.
Shane's Wife
Causes the apocalypse because it'll make her stocks moon or some bullshit, she also totally gaslit Shane about him going to war while she had to stay home and check the mail so frick her
Vault Overseer
Is a Vault Tec plant, ironically despite being presented as the show's least ambiguous villain she doesn't do anything THAT bad except cover up all the Vault Tec shenanigans
wtf was Barb's problem anyways? She's literally a Vault-tec executive probably living the luxury life while Cooper was risking his life in Canada or whatever.
She's a sociopath who wanted to reshape America and used others for her own personal gain. Basically black Hillary Clinton
Literally every single minority character, except for the BoS Black person, is evil. It wasn't even subtle.
She's literally black Hillary Clinton
So do they know they made her evil is or is this a Veerhoven situation?
>except for the BoS
He's neutral at best, currently
BoS are evil. You'd know this if you played NV and FO4.
Literally the only "good" character in the show is Lucy. I need a Lucy wife.
I thought the BOS in New Vegas were like a smaller offshoot faction or something? It's been awhile since I played.
All BoS chapters are small offshots of the original military group that founded it. They're pretty different from eachother because they argue over the Codex like israelites argue over the torah
Lucy maybe a "good" but Ghoul is the one who is actually "based".
Titus was comically evil, felt sorta silly
He seemed more "done with this bullshit" than evil.
You may be spoiling yourself in this thread, because the point of her character is the build-up to who she is.
Titus was white. He was kind of an butthole but he was never really put in any situations that showed his moral compass
>white
Mate, do you not know who the actor was?
>Rappaport
He was more of a coward and well stupid than evil really. I knew it was over for him the second he said he was bored and wants to kill something
Moldaver included. I still can't get over that Lucy or Hank never called her out on the fact she killed innocent people in the Vault. They just glanced over that fact, you'd think Lucy would be more pissed
Also how the frick did she survive? There's no explanation on if she even got into a Vault. Nothing is explained on why she's still in the present.
Cryo chamber. It's shown near the ending how she may have had access to them
I think bethesda just constantly forgets that fallout is set centuries after the war and not a few years
probably frozen like the vault-tec executives, and vault-tec bought her research
now why they would freeze some meddling communist scientist in a vault where she's be safe and sound for 200 years just to emerge and frick up their plan, we don't know. maybe she had a bootleg-ass cryogenic facilit
i can't even finish writing it, it's just so damn stupid. lmao
Except Moldaver was right and she won in the end. And NCR killed more innocent people during the Bitter Springs Massacre. And Hank literally killed thousands when he nuked Shady Sands.
>repression
>imperial thought machine
>Hitler quote but put in reverse
Is all the writing in this show a manifesto?
>Great Khans
>innocent
>black woman drops the bomb
What did Amazon mean by this?
She must have dropped a powerful N bomb.
This almost looks like that one black lady that shows up in EVERY game.
racemixing is evil
Cuz BoS Black person was tamed by BoS themselves at very early age.
Meant to reply as well
the entire show is racemixing propaganda
I've seen worse racemixing propaganda. Seems they only did this because of ESG checklist. Still, they shown most of the white male characters either as evil or coward. One of them became a literal cuckold unwillingly even. iirc the only good one was that Scientist who injected a thing into his neck.
>Still, they shown most of the white male characters either as evil or coward.
everybody in the show is evil or a coward, you're trying too hard
White males takes the most exposure when it comes to being coward however.
I wish he had stuck around longer. I like Michael Emerson
Not from my perspective
Maximus isn't neutral at all. He's probably the biggest piece of shit in the show.
"Neutral at best" doesn't sound like high praise. He is a lying, cheating, stealing, murderous moron, though. It's actually funny how bad he is.
There is a scene where you watch scientists being murdered and as they are dying beg you to not think that a society ran by scientists is bad even though every vault says otherwise. I am shocked they did this.
19 shill threads on this board isn't enough? gotta spam 9 more ?

They paid for jeet remote workers for their “AI” powered walk in stores too.
LMAO
You sound like a homosexual
have a nice day
would a shill say Black person?
frick you Black person, the show is decent and i'm allowed to like it.
By, like you, being part of a well planned shill campaign, you homosexual.
I'm not gonna subject myself to this garbage but I have a question for those who watched the show. Did they even show a single super mutant in any of the eight episodes? You know the elevated humans that can survive the wasteland way better than humans can and populated LA? Are master's remnants another faction people have forgotten about that Todd killed?
They showed one limb sticking out from under a blanket.
Basically no. The vats were destroyed 134 years ago, super mutants were a dying breed from the day production stopped.
No but they imply ghouls have x-men style instant regeneration
Depending on which game you play you get that too with the ghoulish or rad child perk.
>ghouls are now invulnerable with superhuman perception, agility and strength
>ghouls are now invulnerable with superhuman perception, agility and strength
Yes? Ghouls literally heal through radiation in the game and there are numerous examples of ghouls detecting people, running and being strong as shit in the games too
These people did not watch the show.
This person thinks "regenerates health slowly when exposed to radiation" means "horrifically mangled limbs knit themselves together in seconds" and "being shot repeatedly and punched through multiple buildings is easily shrugged off".
Ghouls were always low key immortal. Surviving hundreds of years with crazy wounds.
They couldn’t die but they were never unstoppable and flawless warriors
he's not an unstoppable and flawless warrior, but he's a 200 year veteran bounty hunter, so unsurprisingly, he's hot shit.
he's one of 3 MCs, has plenty of scenes focused on him. I'd say he's probably considered the secondary MC.
>3 MC's
>secondary MC
Fricking why
Don't tell me the girl is the main MC instead of the ghoul
I'd say yes, they're introduced as Vault Girl > BoS Boy > Ghoul in the first episode, but pretty quickly their paths intertwine. You get a ton of extra time with Goggin's character (ghoul) in the form of pre-war screentime, and he also takes up plenty of screentime in the post-apoc time of the show. So, while Lucy might be the primary protagonist, it's not like Goggins is taking second fiddle compared to her, but he is the secondary MC. I think with his popularity and reception, coupled by where the story is going into second season, he'll probably get even more of a focus.
Ghoul is introduced first technically, just not as a ghoul.
ah true, shame I skimmed the show earlier today for a specific scene and skipped the first 10-15m since I saw Lucy early on. Good point, he may actually be the primary protagonist, then.
No it's definitely Lucy. She fits the same mold of being a vault dweller searching for a family member that the Bethesda Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 protagonists were made from.
No Lucy is the main character, but the Ghoul is a close secondary protagonist. He arguably ties into the overarching plot better than her and the nature of his condition means he is guaranteed to return in future seasons.
You meet coop before Lucy
>I think with his popularity and reception, coupled by where the story is going into second season, he'll probably get even more of a focus.
Oh, definitely. Especially since the show ends with Lucy and Cooper/Ghoul heading to New Vegas together.
She's the de facto vault dweller that are usually the protagonist of the entries. But the show writers know enough to have multiple protagonists as Lucy's arc can't reasonably fill the run time. Lucy is the naive main character, Cooper is the looking glass into the pre-war era and the cabal's plans, Maximus is there I guess, and Norm is the int/stealth character who uncovers the truth by being the loregay
>Maximus is there I guess
Fallout writers really need to learn that they don't need to include the Brotherhood of Steel if they are only being added because they are part of The Brand.
I’m hoping maximus becomes more of a BoS fanatic next season. He’s too passive and just lets shit happen. Conflict between him and Lucy and Maximus being a willing but uneasy partner of the elder would be good
Ghouls literally have passive HP Regen and are so fast they basically zerg rush you in the FO games.
A ghoul had a tree growing out of him and his organs spread underground
Harold was an FEV mutant
Don't use the M word please
This has always been the case, a lot of veteran ncr rangers are ghouls precisely because they are better at surviving in the wasteland compared to smoothskins.
Would have unironically been better if they did a series about Raul before the events of New Vegas.
Is CX404 Rex or Dog meat?
Dogmeat is just a name given to dogs referencing the fact wastelanders eat dogs. Its not the same dog
but isn't Dogmeat a mystical wasteland creature?
There's already been multiple different dogs in the Fallout games all named Dogmeat. It's a reference to A Boy and His Dog, which is one of the original inspirations for Fallout. The same thing is referenced by the movie title A Man and his Dog that the ghoul-cowboy guy from the show starred in before the bombs fell.
I liked the end of one ep? maybe the last where Goggins and Dogmeat are standing next to the exit to a vault or whatever, looked a ton like the end of A Boy and His Dog, immediately thought of it.
The Ghoul calls her dogmeat in one scene
THE WOKIST AGENDA STRIKES AGAIN
YET MORE GENDERSWAPPING BULLSHIT
idk, she's a better love interest than any of the women in the show
nah but real talk did Dogmeat in the games ever have an established Sex? I never really thought to care about it, just saw it as my dog pal.
Mc calls him boy
Honestly with how often my relatives called all dogs boys and all cats girls (and the same with my friends) I'm gonna assume that people have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to pets sexes.
She gets referred to as Dogmeat so the audience can clap.
The fact that this guy gets the best arc feels like a fricking accident, and I'm afraid that they're going to butcher it in season 2. The cracks are already there with the water chip.
>The cracks are already there with the water chip
I think that might've been orchestrated by Betty to get elected and can be easily fixed. They established they always elect 31ers when things get dire because they somehow fix everything.
I think the water chip breaking was an excuse to move people to 32 and to be exploited by Betty for her election. We won't find out why until season 2.
He'll get out of his dad's pod X years later, probably with the door conveniently opened, find vault 32 and 33 abandoned, and search for his sister. Likely as a side-plot without showing how long its been until the end.
He(she?) is too young of a dog to be in any of the games. Dogmeat is a generic name given to multiple different dogs throughout the series.
that dog has NIPPLES. I SEEN em. This is the first FEMALE dog with a realtion to the MCs
>no yjk
I honestly cant ever look at dogmeat and fem-vault dweller ever since the You-know-whoman images.
He's a well written character with clear flaws, but is engaging and you want to keep seeing where his ark goes next, specially with his wife who pretty much destroyed the world.
for normie show it's actually great, you just need to set your mind to borderline mouthbreather and it's a good time (I'm a lightweight and 2 beers was enough). Problem is if you care at all about prexisting lore, even accounting for all the things you can handwave off, this essentially soft reboots the West Coast to before FNV starts.
I wonder how many Neo vegana fans an heroed themselves when they heard the Minutemen Radio during the last two episodes
I didn't even notice it. You must be the first person to think something related to the Minutemen is a good thing
Their questline is terrible but the lore behind them is alright.
Maximus is a based dummy I like him
If he's the MC I'll watch
If not the show is trash and I'm not gonna watch
He's one of the MCs. And honestly he had the best arc.
Wrong
They surprised me with Norm. I thought nothing of him at first. He'd get the least likely to be involved in anything award
I thought he would be a rat israelite, but he ended up being based. Expectations subverted. Bravo, Todd.
This was the first time I've seen a significant male character in a show be very short and it's just played normal, no demeaning jokes or anything bad about his height, he just happens to be short and it works.
Todd fought very hard for that.
He's meant to contrast Chet, who's actually abnormally tall, and it works. I hope they can find their way back to each other. They're a fun duo.
I can respect him.
>Maximus gets a call from the Brotherhood of Steel after killing Titus
>has had at least a day to ponder what he'll say to the Brotherhood when he has to return with the target

The difference is fricking night and day. Or you might say black and white :^)
lmao
>"Titus died in the line of battle, but I avenged him and salvaged his power armor"
one hundred billion times this. Of course the only thing you would have to worry about would be "well... take us to the body so that we can recover it and verify the story" to which you'd have to think of another lie but yeah.
"Bro died out there, yeah a Deathclaw attack caught him off guard and he suffered injuries far too fatal to be treated in time I figured I'd walk the power armor back to camp instead of letting raiders and scavengers take it and gave him a proper knights burial
NOBODY would have a problem with that. if anything people would be
>damn, 4th one this month eh?
>we'll see who's next in line. good work squire,
and your life would be back to normal
The chapter pretty clearly hated Max because he's a NCR adoptee, even more after they suspected that he put a razor in the troony's boot.
If he came back alone saying Tittus mysteriously died while looking for toasters, I doubt they'd buy it
Chuds don't know, but Moises Arias is based and a good actor. If you want some absolute kino where he's featured, watch Monos. Thank me later.
Hopefully we get more fallout porn as a result. Need more vault women knocked up by irradiated creatures.
We're long overdue for some updated deathclaw models
The show didnt crash at all when i watched it
0/10 watchable, did not crash once. No boob mods
NCR in the show is treated the same as minutemen in F4. Lucy leaves vault to find dad who knows more than he lets on. Why do they always rehash their plot points?
How is Maximus so moronic? Like from the get-go we observe him as being a little dumber than his classmates for being unable to identify the schematic in class.
homie has been taught by them since early childhood, his entire life has been basically nothing but learning from the BoS, yet hes arguably the dumbest mother fricker out of the 3 MCs from the many screw-ups he does in nearly every episode.
Is it really just genetics or are the BoS really bad at teaching people?
He's the typical doesn't learn anything because he's too busy thinking about revenge character
He’s not dumb he just has no agency. The writers make him just let whatever happen to him and don’t let him react in any meaningful way. When he tries to become a NEET in the vault it’s the perfect encapsulation of how his character is treated
The show would be better if they replaced Maximus with literally any other character. Ganker cries about diversity hires and DEI all the time, but it really does feel like Maximus was a checkbox on Todd's list.
I think it's generally agreed that his character was the weakest story wise. Most people have stated they preferred they showed more of Lucy and the Ghoul more over him. Don't mind if they kill him off in the sequel.
You're only as smart as the people teaching you. The elder promotes him twice for being a liar and a traitor. The knights we see are pretty goddamn terrible in combat too
He's absolutely an idiot and I really believe the audience is meant to think so, even non-Fallout fans. Take his "you mean use my wiener?" scene for instance. He's clearly a gullible moron because he believes that it'll get big and explode and that would be bad. Meanwhile, there's a Brotherhood guy shown jerking off in his cot right near Maximus in one of the first few scenes at their base.
Maximus gets dunked on by The Ghoul because he doesn't know how to use power armor at all. Then later, Thaddeus, the other initiate who is shown not to be super bright either, easily gets around Maximus and immobilizes his armor in an instant.
He also doesn't know his history well because when Lucy talks about the Great War and asks about history he just goes, "Uh, the bombs fell when I was a kid," and assumes she has no idea what she's talking about. When, again, all throughout the rest of the show and in other Fallout lore we have tons of characters referencing "the Great War" all the time, so it should be obvious that when Lucy mentions the bombs falling, she means the ones 200 years ago. But all Maximus can think of his childhood experience because he was there for that and probably hasn't read a book or listened to anyone talk about history in his life.
I didn't get that part. How did the bombs fall when he was a kid? That would've been over 200 years ago.
He was there when Shady Sands was bombed
Maximus was referring to the bomb that fell on Shady Sands.
Genuine question: why the frick was there a Brotherhood of Steel knight conveniently walking by when Maximus emerged from the fridge that he hid in to survive the bombing of Shady Sands? Like why was the Brotherhood there?
The West Coast Brotherhood seemingly has somewhat limited resources, unless there's hundreds of knights aboard the Prydwyn, so what was a knight doing scrounging around the smoldering remains of Shady Sands? How long was Maximus in that fricking fridge for, anyway?
>why was a BoS knight walking through Shady Sands after it had been nuked
it's a mystery anon, why would they do that?
More importantly, how did he survive considering the fridge had a visible hole on the back?
Indiana jones reference
Clean up. They were at war with the NCR at the time iirc
My guess is that we learn the Brotherhood was there fricking shit up or just scavenging at best, not saving people for any noble reason. It makes sense that they would be there since a nuke went off and the main point of their existence is to prevent people from getting nukes again. They probably just took in Maximus because they figured any non-mutant kids would make good malleable recruits. For all we know, that knight just capped Maximus's mother or something right before he gets out of the fridge.
My god you're as dumb as Maximus
Hank blew up shady sands because his wife left the vault with their kids to become a Communist lesbian. How did no one know Hank, his wife, and his kids left the fricking vault?? How the frick did his 5 year old daughter not remember being taken from the vault, walking through the wastelands with her Mom and baby brother, living at shady sands for awhile, seeing her Dad nuke the fricking place, and then return with them back through the wastelands to the vault, that they had to reopen and go back into... without getting caught. HOW DID SHE NOT REMEMBER LEAVING??! I remember the first time we moved when I was 4.
They foreshadow Lucy remembering by her saying
>I swear the fake sun in our vault felt so... real
but it's still extremely moronic, yeah
Yeah I remember she said that, but it still makes no sense haha I was hoping they weren't gonna pull the "we left the vault once before" thing when I heard that line.
>walking through the wastelands
Ah but here's the thing. They were walking through the NCR before the nuke went off, so it's actually pretty likely it was a reasonably pleasant area when they emerged.
>why are characters on a show written by morons moronic?
gee i dunno
I have genuinely begun to believe the theory that the 3* (4, counting Norm) main characters are supposed to represent how players play the game. Maximus is genuinely just a 1 INT, 1 CHA, 10 END based moron player character who wanted to equip the cool armor on the box so badly that he'll lie, steal, kill to get it.
He is so, so, so poorly written that this is the only explanation that's believable. It's hilarious. Meanwhile Goggins is your typical 10 AGI, 10 LCK VATS abuser who has played the game for 200 years.
What does that make Lucy? She's not really good at anything. Can't even speech check herself out of trouble
She's a game journalist.
She's a woman
She plays the game to roleplay, which is why she okay/terrible at most things until the very end, when her build finally comes online because she finally unlocked all the perks and unique weapons she needed.
>start game up for the first time
>"I'll pick Science, Repair, and Speech to unlock as much content as possible"
>don't know what skill thresholds you need to reach to pass plot-vital checks
>keep wasting your points on combat and utility skills to keep up with the fights you keep getting dragged into as a result
>cowboy ghoul named The Ghoul
>is like a zombie that's buried underground
wtf is this?
He's like Clint Eastwood's "the man with no name". He's a wandering bounty-hunter that no one really knows anything about, so they just call him "the ghoul". There are tons of other ghouls in the show, all of whom are in various states of lore-accurate ferality and disgustingness. The cowboy guy is buried at the beginning because he's being held prisoner by some guy, supposedly to harvest his body parts occasionally.
I think the idea was that the guy imprisoning him only brought him out when needed/to lord over him, was less harvesting parts of him for any use, but moreso to say "look, I own you, and you aren't even human, so I'll peel off bits of you to remind you of that fact."
Yeah, that was also more what I was thinking too, although I couldn't remember if that was outright said or just implied. I only remembered the guys that wake up the ghoul mentioning the body parts thing.
One of them says his dad worked with the ghoul for a job. Most likely, his dad heard him say he was from California at some point. That, or it was just one of the rumors floating around about him. Pretty much the only thing that guy "knew" was that he was from California.
How did the grave robbers who dug him up know about his pre-war past anyways?
Terminal near his grave explaining it to them
jej
there is a scene where a woman gives birth to like 20 fish that then immediately cannibalize her
i am not joking or exaggerating at all
Why didn't the fish eat her from the inside?
Why did that whole scene felt like it was someone's magic realm?
Ill give the show a 7/10 just for that scene
It was because of me, I wanted my fetish inserted.
COFFIN WILLIE LIVES, MOTHERFRICKER!
>is the only white male allowed to be cool
I guess it's due to a technicality of him being a ghoul right? That said he still racemixxed with some black b***h who gave him the stupid "I WAS THE ONE WHO REALLY SUFFERED" thing.
Norm, the BoS elder and Lucy’s dad seem pretty cool. The only white guy so far that is an actual homosexual is Titus
Does vault girl get knocked up by irradiated monsters? If not hard pass.
a Vault girl (multiple, actually) do, yes.
Shit actually? here I go
If you're just interested in that, Episode 6, about 50 minutes in, for the next 5 minutes is mostly about that.
His character arc or more his wifes was so strange
It started out as her initially being some attentive wife but later on it turns out shes an extremely high executive who was on the same table as House.
Wait, so why the frick did Hank open the door to Vault 32? The overseers were in contact with each other so he and the brain guy would've known that they were all fricking dead, but suddenly he's willing to open the door and let in a bunch of random buttholes that aren't on any personnel records (plus the lead b***h who he might have known pre-war)?
shh
dont think just watch
Maybe Hank had outlived his usefulness
it's possible that the vaults weren't always led by 31 plants and from time to time they just had random people in charge, 31'ers only stepping in when necessary.
M-Maybe he forgot to check in Vault 31 before opening the door!
>the vault 32 inhabitans died over 2 years ago
Uh... uh...
Maybe Moldaver used his wife's pip boy to get in, and Hank thought that his wife somehow survived. Also maybe they did this little ritual at scheduled times, so he would've had to open the door or risk exposing the ignorant Vault 33 people to what happened in Vault 32. The real question is why the frick didn't he immediately realize Moldaver? I guess it's possible he didn't meet her when he went to get his wife back. But then why didn't Moldaver show the Vault 33 people the very old Vault 32 bodies? Why did Moldaver allow Lucy to get attacked? There's an implied relationship between Lucy's mom and Moldaver, but even if there wasn't Moldaver clearly respected Lucy's mom and knew Lucy was innocent.
Just finished the first episode, I think I’d prefer to watch the actual fallout instead of the the chronicles of Mary Sue, fascist homie and zombie John Wayne.
>Mary Sue
Can you explain to me how she's a Mary Sue when she fails at practically everything she does? Isn't the hallmark of a Mary Sue the fact that they do things better than everyone else immediately?
For me? It's Norm.
Isnt this guy that comedy failed cop character from fear the walking dead??
Why do they insist on making the BoS the saviours of the wasteland?
Even in 4 they just came, did their thing and fricked off.
>saviours of the wasteland
If you watch the show, you'll realize that they are definitely not portrayed that way. To quote the show
>Wait, isn't the Brotherhood the good guys?
>Uh, well it's kind of a complicated organization.
I watched it, they are kind of butthole, though I thought their issue was their dwindling numbers due to their ideology.
That said, I just finished it it was fine
Bad bait, try again
Played by one of the most based actors
We dug Coal together!

Bend the FRICKING knee to your queen
It's kind of implied that she is or at least was a ghoul.
She looks essentially identical to her appearance before the war, yet Coop remarks that she looks different than he remembered when he sees her wanted poster.
It isn't implied at all, the far more practical answer is she either has some not!FEV thing hinted at earlier, or (far more likely) was unfrozen from Cryo.
Yea, mine.
This isn't implied at all, also
>was a ghoul
... She got better?
It's Fallout and she's a scientist, anything is possible.
It's also possible that the "Hollywood Forever" cemetery she was at was working on cryosleep or life extension tech, as the name sort of implies.
>It's Fallout and she's a scientist, anything is possible
Amazon, HIRE THIS MAN
>Hollywood Forever
This is actually plausible, but the situation as a whole is still a bit silly
she literally looks like a female bogdanoff
what the heck

Wait what

For fricks sake please gimme season 4
It is, and I convinced myself it wasn't him for the entire season because I couldn't believe they got him for the role, I thought it was just a lookalike
The Dougie posting will be off the charts in season 2
>It is, and I convinced myself it wasn't him for the entire season because I couldn't believe they got him for the role, I thought it was just a lookalike
To be fair the actor was in a lot of highly known shows in the past and early Twin Peaks was literally the single most popular show in the USA for a good while
casual portlandia reunion
The two experienced writers on the show worked on Portlandia, too
The executive story editor is a random grip / gaffer with no writing experience, which is hilarious
>They asked me if I was knowledgeable about the Fallout series. I said only on Todd's games. They said welcome aboard.
lel
>hires raiders to rape
Bullshit. I haven't seen the show but I know there isn't even a tiny implication of rape because today's writers pussies.
The MC is literally raped on screen in the very first episode
Different anon. It's only rape in the sense of "the guy lied about who he was and they had sex". She is totally down for it and encourages it until way after the fact when someone comes down the hall screaming and she puts the pieces together.
The sex was consensual. You can't take it back post-hoc, even if he turns out to be a raider who's trying to murder you
spoilers kinda
?t=146
She wasn't really a communist though. That was just a smear they used because she began to decry Vault-Tec
People keep calling her a communist as a meme, but she literally says in the show
>I'm not a communist, Mr. Howard. That's just a dirty word they call people that aren't insane.
And the "they" she's referring to are a room full of people we later see literally plotting, explicitly and out loud, to drop a nuke and trigger the end AND discussing how they can run human experiments in the vaults. One suggestion from the REPCONN representative being how they could try "separating children from their parents to select the most independent and resilient ones". So yes, insane.
She's a scientist that worked for multiple different for-profit companies that Vault-Tec bought out. She mostly is just mad that they shelved her work, not that she wanted to give it away for free or anything. She then is shown to be in alliance with the NCR after getting un-frozen or whatever, the corrupt neoliberal government we know and love.
She's a crazy mad scientist and self-admitted murderous hypocrite, but they weren't framing her as an actual communist or anything.
People thought "they" were supposed to be society as a whole, which is a fair assumption before you find out the truth. Some people probably didn't make the connection. I know I missed a few connections in the show
>Vault-Tec executives bow to the Flame Mother
>in contact with the Enclave
>possesses the only energy weapon on the West Coast
>controls Southern California with 20 NCR raiders
>owns settlements all over the West Coast
>direct descendant of the pre-war Bogdanoff family
>will power the entire city of Los Angeles with cold fusion
>terraformed all of California to move Shady Sands to Los Angeles
>owns basically every cryogenic freezing facility on Earth
>first post-war government was the NCR
>said to have 400+ IQ
>the Shady Sands monument told of a 200 year old scientist who will emerge from beneath the Earth and will bring an era of enlightenment and unprecedented technological progress with her
>this is Moldaver
>she owned pre-war cold fusion R&D labs across the United States
>every NCR citizen has the brand of the Flame Mother imprinted in them at birth
>Moldaver is in regular communication with Todd Howard himself, forwarding the word of God to Amazon's writer's room
>discovered the fourth law of thermodynamics
>Emil Pagliarulo allows her full access to the Fallout 3, 4, & 76 design documents within the Bethesda Games Studio vault
>the pre-war government entrusted the U.S. constitution to Moldaver
>She is 219 years old, from the space-time reference point of an in-universe human
>In reality, she is an immortal muse borne forth from the unconscious mind of Todd Howard himself
>She has been able to access the Fallout Bible from birth, and has retroactively rewritten the canon before she was even conceived of
>Moldaver will guide the NCR into a new age of being written out of Fallout
>wins
is that what happened?
she got her cold fusion macguffin and
actually yeah why did she act as if it was a victory, it just falls into the hands of the brotherhood fricking seconds after she successfully powers on LA
She just kind of ignores how the BoS will probably take it and plug it into Liberty Prime or something equally stupid.
Technically BoS won since they captured the Cold Fusion Reactor.
I thought this was supposed to be The Ghouls wife. How did she survive 200 years if she was some lady that tried to revolt against vault tech?
Did I miss something? Did she sneak into one of the vault 33 cryotubes? Why is she still alive?
a lot of the writing surrounding pre-war characters is really dumb, or I missed a lot of details.
yeah man it was probably a cryo tube. is critical thinking just completely dead here? why do you morons need every minute detail spoonfed to you
you're a goober.
Credits show a cryo-tube hotel in New Vegas. They're not exclusive to vault tech employees
indian range ban when
Be honest anons how's the show, really
I enjoyed it, even if there were plenty of flaws in it like the characters running into each other/where the others were as the plot necessitated. There are some annoying characters, but for the most part I didn't regret watching it and wanted to watch more of it, unlike a lot of other modern shows.
It's a fun 7/10 with some really good characters. Production values are all over the place but with some practical effects looking really good but some weird choreography here and there.
Honestly, I didn't hate it but I can see why some people hate it and why others love it. I'd give it a 6/10, but the random "capitalism bad" moral message at the end was fricking dumb. I knew vault tech dropped the nuke to become a self fulfilling prophecy and love that aspect. I don't like how they did it in the show though. "To be true evil capitalists, we have to blow up the fricking world!! Then we'll own everything!! Once it's all blown up!! Monopoly!!". That's fricking moronic and shit writing.
ask yourself
>do i want to watch todd howards shitty amazon show
you dumb frick
It's fine. It's basically a Fallout 4 fan film with a bigger budget. Does some neat things, does some dumb things but overall gets it right especially in terms of tone and how things look. The show isn't leaning on direct game references as hard as I expected, which is nice. It's a pretty entertaining show when ya ain't got an anon screeching in ya ear that they nuked NV out of the canon.
It's a solid B+.
>It's basically a Fallout 4 fan film
Dropped.
its a fun watch. especially if you played fallout games before.
Its especially fun if you are american, you appreciate the interracial BMWF sex scenes more.
I wish they had shown more mutants and weapons (especially the laser and plasma ones). the Gulper design was actually cool but the Yao Gui was disappointing. I wanted to see a two headed Brahmin caravan, a Radscorp and a Deathclaw. the characters arent really all that likeable. the comedy is actually pretty good. Its enough to get a chuckle here and there but nothing gut busting. its kinda got that OG Borderlands type of comedy where stupid shit happens but because everyone is some small flavor of sociopath everybody reacts in a non-chalant manner to some things happening whilst everyone reckons theyre invincible bleedin action men.
I hope by the time there is a season 2 the protag has grown into more of a badass (leveled up) and is now using all sort of techniques, weapons and gadgets she's found. Stealthboys, Bottlecap Mines, Power Fist and those powersaw knives. canned foods and bloatfly meat or something. In game wise she should be at that point where most threats are now trivial to her and she is wise to ways of the wasteland and not a gullible do gooder.
5/10 if you like new Vegas.
7/10 if you like fallout and don't care about new Vegas.
9/10 if you're a clueless normalgay.
I'm surprised at the number of people here like it, I was expecting some folk here to give into peer pressure from SyntheticChud and hate it
It's a solid, solid 5.5-6/10. The ghoul and the main girl are competently written. There's also some decently written and entertaining side characters. There's some great intrigue here and there. But it has serious issues. It alters the lore incredibly heavily, which makes some things nonsensical. There were a couple changes they made that I liked, though. One character, Moldaver, is incredibly poorly written/presented. The plot to get Lucy out of the vault feels very contrived and there were definitely cleaner ways to do it. Despite mutants being mostly accepted by the NCR if they behave, we don't see any in the show (though this is almost certainly done because of the lack of budget). Some of the action is great, and some of it looks really clumsy and bad.
Overall, despite its heavy flaws, I did get the feeling that the director behind the show genuinely does care about the IP. Sure it's primarily Fallout 3 and 4, but he at least cares. It's a stark contrast to the Halo show, where seemingly everyone involved didn't give a shit about the Halo franchise. Even if something is bad or flawed, if it's made with genuine care, that appreciation shines through.
>Despite mutants being mostly accepted by the NCR if they behave, we don't see any in the show (though this is almost certainly done because of the lack of budget).
Didn't get to the Vault 4 Episode did you?
above average for a video game show
average for a regular show
it's pretty good, the characters grew on me I think, everyone is a bit of an butthole or a moron or a mix of both
as a stand alone thing 6/10 with high points
the BoS plot lines are a net negative and could be removed and the show would be better and it wouldn't really effect the rest of the plot
If you casually enjoy Fallout then it's probably 6.5-7/10. A lot of the plot falls apart when you think about, and the characters actions don't always make sense, but it's still somewhat enjoyable and has some decent notes.
>Maximus, give me that fricking stimpack or I swear to god, I'll have the entire chapter whip you like an alabama Black person
what did todd mean with this scene?
He is played by Walter Goggins. All that man does is win.
Is Cooper Veteran Ranger matieral?
>get typecast as a racist in every role he gets
>instant kino
I'm thinking based?
But this time he's the race that's getting isted
Ah yes, another "10/10" streaming show like The Witcher and Arcane that everyone will forget about a week after release.
America is a nation of NPCs.
Arcane at least had great visuals that people remember it for
the Fallout franchise in his path
I didn't know it was doing so bad outside of 76 and this series. I enjoyed all of the games besides that one.
It's very hit and miss, by Goggins plays a complete sociopath really well. The section where he is leading the main girl around and forcing her to do all kinds of fricked shit was peak. But for every Goggins moment, there was an equal but opposite shit moment that detracts.
>got the urge to play fallout
>install
>installed some mods
>finally play the game
>play for two hours
>realize why I stopped playing
>uninstall
that's a day wasted.
This show made me realize that Fallout is basically STALKER for Marvel watching numales.
Its such an atrocious setting and the whole "dude 50s retrofuturism" is so played out.
>I-IS THAT AN ACTUALLY DEVELOPED CITY?!?!? OUR ENGINE CAN'T RENDER MLRE THAN 20 PEOPLE AND TOWNS WITH 4 BUILDINGS, QUICK, NUKE IT
Why is Todd like this?
>character literally seethes so much at society rebuilding that he nukes it so that progress resets
really on the nose there
>nukes the faction that most people associate with Black Isle Fallout and New Vegas
>this event is canonized in a scene where the exact timeline of the NCR's destruction is written on a chalkboard, no dialogue
>the fallout theme plays as Lucy unfurls the NCR flag
and
>the NCR ranger armor is shown in the show, worn by an old man who is either a random scavenger or an NCR ranger
>the old man lets the ghoul walk away after shooting both of his sons, one of them in front of him
>also the armor looks like a cheap cosplay
and the cherry on top
>the narrative that catalyzes the destruction of the NCR is actually just a recombination of Fallout 3's and 4's plots
>Lucy leaving Vault 33 to pursue her father
>her father is secretly from outside of the vault, like Liam Neeson
>instead of being born outside of the vault, Lucy left the vault with her mother at a young age
>her father is also secretly a high-ranking member of an organization with plans to control the wasteland, like Shaun in Fallout 4
>also he was cryogenically frozen
They just mashed Fallout 3 and 4 together and did so to kill West Coast Fallout
It's so fricking funny
>everyone hates ncr commie morons for a literal half decade since new vegas

what did fallout fans mean by this?

The Chinese Squint so much they wouldn't have noticed
I find it hilarious amerimutts are eating up this low effort slop, but then again, they are the people who ate up Marvel movies, Game of Thrones and the Super Mario movie, I think they are entertained simply by seeing things happen on screen.
I watched the first couple episodes and so far it’s a 5/10. Better production values than I thought but weird flow to everything and the humor is really bad. That like 10 minute scene just to set up the “he fricked my chickens” joke? What was the point of that?
The Republic will rise again. The Brotherhood will answer for this slaughter. Prepare yourselves for season 2 in the Mojave tech hording chuds
I cant wait to consume some mor, fellow american consumer.
>nukes the NCR so that the BOS can plausibly walk up to the now "capital of the NCR" and wipe them out, handing them control of the fusion tech and control of the west coast
todd is not beating the 'doing this out of spite' allegations
I reserve judgement until we see New Vegas in the show
Is that the fat Asian girl from TLJ on the left?
>prop guns with bad cg muzzle flashes
I can't fricking watch tv anymore
True everything is bad cgi now adays and its hidden behind everything being dark as hell.
season 2 when?
Not in a few years, by that time everyone will have lost interest and there wont be a season 3. Welcome to streaming shows.
So he's the designated "woah he's so based" character that actually has zero personality that shills will cling to?
yea he's based af
Fr fr ong bruh he be cooking :skull:
not liking things doesn't make you cool
I dont think people care much about what Americans think is cool anymore.
>on an American website speaking American tongue
get lost thirdie
I just finished the show. it's literally good. there's no cope that can convincingly claim otherwise
Everyone actually watching this show deserves to be beat to death.
>nuke shady sands
>NCR suddenly reduced to a small encampment in an old observatory
the NCR is huge and has hundreds of thousands of people living in it

>the war with the Legion took away many of the younger generations
>bigger settlement like New Reno, Glow, Shi, and Vault City can easily leave the alliances
>BoS is still around, more blood thirsty than ever
>the people in charges are more interested in expanding via colonialism
There so many shit going on that its surpsing the NCR is still intact in New Vegas.
One theory I've seen is that the NCR capital moved at some point, and that the bulk of the NCR exists somewhere else, but with a severely reduced strength so that everyone is bailing or trying to set up a competing "real" NCR.
It leans on the idea that 2277 is when Shady Sands "fell" but that the bomb fell several years later after New Vegas takes place. So perhaps Shady Sands went into a decline that eventually led to losing its status as the capital, and this culminated in Hank exploiting their time of weakness to drop a bomb and no one could stop him because other shit was going down. We have a scene where some random sheriff guy that Cooper/Ghoul knows calls himself "the president of the NCR" while seemingly only having two poorly trained goons as muscle. At the same time, Moldaver is running the group at the observatory with way more people and guns that are clearly NCR as well. When Cooper/Ghoul asks about the guy being president, he simply responds, "Well, why not?" indicating at least some people still consider the NCR to be "the government" but that there's some serious power vacuum going on.
To me, that looks like a post-Rome type scenario where everyone set up rival fiefdoms claiming to be the true inheritor of the empire's legacy. Some big, some small.
>calls himself "the president of the NCR"
He calls himself the president of the government, but I guess the point still stands.
I thought it was pretty funny to have an entity that just calls itself "the government"
Just watched ep 1
Lmao, the cleric uses "their wounds" to address the troony and i can already picture the black guy dating the cute vault dweller
Why is it always so in every fricking modern media
wait until 'explode my wiener'
>Why is it always so in every fricking modern media
It isn't
I like Walton Goggins as he was the best part of Justified, but I hate video game movies and shows, I feel torn bros.
It does not matter what the show is, Walton Goggins will be the best part of it.
>HEEEEEEEEHHEAAAAAAHAHH
>Saves the Fallout franchise
From what? The franchise has been making millions?
umm the last good fallout game released in 1998 tho
And the show has done anything to Fallout that Bethesda hasn’t done already. Except now TV drones get to watch some TV show adaptation?
It's anti-white leftist propaganda.
This show is peak goyslop
Bathesda+Amazon is a daring synthesis.
made for the same morons who keep falling for bethesda's bullshit over and over lmao
not even mortal kombat shit was shilled this hard
fricking cheap pajeets flooding the catalog
when will the fo contract end ?
Uh oh bot
BABY BILLY FREEMAN!?
Anyone else feel maximus is the weakest lead / part of the show? I just wasn't vibing with his character and tbh he felt a little bit pointless.
He was the most realistic out of the other three leads.Selfish and somewhat cowardly, but has to learn to shed that to find the heart of gold underneath.
What heart of gold. Even in the end he's helping the Brotherhood leader who they seem to imply is evil.
Everyone feels that way. He's worse than fricking Franklin Clinton
I hope he smarts up or turns into the Frank equivalent for the Bos
what the frick was with this guy?
Simply to heal the guy so he can get away without the explanation how he got somewhere with such a serious injury
All injuries they get are mostly just bait and switches. It always looks like they gonna die but end up being alright and saved and magically healed
the show uses video game logic, in case you haven't noticed yet.
He's there to visually introduce the FEV which he injected into Thaddeus.
What does that have to do with chickens?
FEV is chicken AIDS
What's wrong with fricking chickens?
Wild Wasteland.
Never doubt the power of the serum seller.
I wish I could be him
Just watched the first episode so I don't know if it's going to get a lot worse like Ganker is saying - seems okay so far if kinda average. But the one thing I did find strange is how Vault 32 and 33 were connected. At first I thought 33 walked through the wasteland to get to 32, but that didn't make sense since the Overseer said they haven't been on the surface yet. Apparently the vaults were neighbours and they could freely travel to each other?
I've played FO3, NV, FO4, and FO76 and don't recall a single case of two vaults being directly connected. If this is a retcon it makes no sense why vaults tec wouldn't build more vaults like this to promote mini societies instead of making them all separated and isolated.
The vaults are in fact connected in this case. You probably shouldn't be here if you care to continue
There is a reason behind it and it's a plot point
Show was entertaining (albeit I had to watch the dubbed version of native language of mine since original voices were cringe as frick.). However, im still butthurt that it shat on the lore, hopefuly they fix those in Season 2. Despite that, it still could not explain how the hell that Vault 33 have avoided Massa' and Sneedclave.
So is Mr. House or Yes Man ending a canon now?
Yes
Todd Howard would never let this FILTH in HIS games!
>no idea what sex is or what the dick is used for
>knows how to kiss and what to do
OK
Guess he practiced with his troon friend.

To be honest, Obsidian would do it (you could sleep with a Vault Dweller). However you need to have a good rizz for that.
>Obsidian
>where Sawyer is so deathly afraid of peepee exploding that the player can't even have do it with the town bike
I think Maximus is running a low Intelligence/charisma build with all his points dumped into luck with a few into strength and agility. He gets his ass pulled from the fire multiple times. I'm surprised the mysterious stranger didn't show up and help him during the show.
That would explain why he's bad at communicating and keeps doing dumb shit all the time yet always manages to eke out a win despite bumbling his way through bad situation after bad situation. He gets cold-wienered by a dude in power armor and somehow his head doesn't explode. If that's not lucky, I don't know what is.
Cooper is the mysterious stranger
No, Cooper is more akin to Raul Tejada. A dude larping as a cowboy in the post-apocalypse. The one thing I want to see is him break character during an actual dramatic segment and become his old self. Let there be some catharsis in him finding out what happened to his wife or uncovering whatever his secret arc is, "I can finally put the ghoul to rest" or whatever .
Technically Raul is the inverse because he's LARPing as a literal who mechanic before you convince him to embrace his past. God, I love New Vegas's companions.
Raul went on a bunch of adventures with me in the Mojave. He was a based beaner and put up with my shit despite me dragging him to Deathclaw pits and the Hoover Dam. I felt kinda bad since he was so old but he was too cool not to have around.
>"You got it boss."
Maybe Cooper will have his own transition to an elderly laid-back ghoul like Raul did. Raul is the best follower for sure, 2nd best would be a tie between Boone and Rex. Everyone else was okay, but Boon, Rex, and Raul were my besties.
Is that a white person? Oh no we can't have that here...
It's whiteface
I did not like that after Lucy got out of the organ harvesting place she seemed like she had finally been broken by the wasteland then just regresses back to her goody two shoes self.
>she seemed like she had finally been broken by the wasteland then just regresses back to her goody two shoes self.
I'm sick of "broken and dark" characters. There need to be more "roll with punches" and adapt characters.
Lucy needs to don the Black Armor™ next season just 'cause
Sooo
What happened to my homie Mr. House?
Well, remember when he tells you he did the math and calculated when the bombs would drop so he tried to build defenses to save Vegas?
Well that was all a lie.
he knew because he was invited to the big evil capitalist meeting where they discussed nuking America themselves to make money...somehow
Literally wrong though
He did the math around 2060. The meeting has taken place around 2077.
He knew bombs would drop either way, and this meeting confirmed just who will actually press the button.
Character assassinated. Please understand.
At least it wasn't as bad as what they did to Frederick Sinclair from Dead Money.
Frederick Sinclair's situation is the world's worst hitman coming in to kill somebody with a pie while roller-skating towards the person.
>Big MT
Yeah sorta, but no, not really. Several levels of "wtf".
It's so fricking sloppy
>Hey, you know the guy who built a casino-resort with a vault in the basement to protect the love of his life by bartering with Big MT?
>No, I'm an Amazon writer, but go on
>What if he was, like, the CEO of Big MT and invited to Vault-Tec's secret meeting about blowing up America themselves
>Also he's now a 300-pound old man
>Also he designed the Vault 27 social experiment (the intentionally overcrowded vault)
WHY? WHAT PURPOSE DOES THIS SERVE? WRITE A NEW FRICKING CHARACTER LMAO
He was invited to a meeting overseen by the enclave. Insulted other members. Vault tec ceo suggested that if it would benefit them they should drop the bombs themselves to rebuild America. Everyone except him was enthused at the idea
>Everyone except House was enthused at the idea of dropping the bomb themselves
This is actually incorrect, yet I've seen it repeated over and over in this threads.
House doesn't express ANY skepticism about dropping the bomb, his only concern is how Vault-Tec can "guarantee results"
for their vault-based social experiments. This line is immediately BEFORE the Vault-Tec executive suggests dropping the bomb themselves, and that's his last line in the show. He has literally no reaction to this information, lmao.
>He has literally no reaction to this information, lmao
Yeah that's being not enthused. Everyone else was
homies really be like
>don't worry the show is actually good because of shit that didn't happen in it
>just trust amazon bro it's not like 50% of what they did write in season 1 is shit
what does that have to do with house not being enthusiastic while everyone else was?
agreed though like so many other aspects of this show they committed to nothing substantial. if they want to have a scene later of him saying "yeah i told them to frick off" they still could.
Yeah, I noticed that they left every single intrigue in S1 intentionally open. Did Vault-Tec drop the bombs? We don't know, Amazon could decide they didn't in season 2. Was House receptive to their plan? We don't know, Amazon can decide if he is or isn't in season 2. Does the NCR persist elsewhere in the wasteland? We don't know, Amazon can decide if they do or don't in season 2. Notice how the Shady Sands billboard says that it's the "first" capital of the NCR? They hedged their bets with every single plot point.
Vegas is, of course, the biggest blank page, so it'll be interesting - good or bad.
This is my issue with retcons, personally. Even if you're simply trying to make sense of the show's versions of events, you can see how easily we slip into
>Maybe this is what...
>But it doesn't contradict...
>Well, it would make sense if...
For example, you can claim that there's nothing wrong with House having foreknowledge of the bomb being dropped by Vault-Tec (IF they dropped it, you see how open-ended this is) because it's in-character for him to fictionalize an insider advantage as a "genius calculation". Remember that this is the Robert House who publicly broadcasts his own eulogy about how GOATed with the sauce he is if you kill him. (Never mind that House logically had insider information to calculate the bombs being dropped to begin with.)
The issue is that "canon" is a trap that distracts you from the fact that things are or aren't fundamentally fricking moronic, as the Vault-Tec scene is. If you can somehow mash the puzzle piece into place so it's canon, people forget how badly it fits to begin with.
I get it. We shouldn't have to defend shitty writing with what ifs. I just like speculating. That's part of the fun of ongoing fiction
Fair enough. I like speculating too, I just don't trust TV writers because I've seen them work.
>Did Vault-Tec drop the bombs?
Yes they did you massive moron. It was literally confirmed by that latina chick.
>Was House receptive to their plan?
Yes he was.
> Does the NCR persist elsewhere in the wasteland?
No, they are not because Todd is a homosexual
Moldaver said they dropped the bomb on Shady Sands. House's prodded Barb for more info with his poker face on. New Communist Regime got wiped out thankfully.
Moldaver:
>This is how Vault tec solves problems, just like they did 200 years ago
Confirms that they did drop the bombs. And no, she did not know about that meeting, only Howard did.
>House's prodded Barb for more info with his poker face on.
He was asking about how they can ensure profits. Wasn't opposed to the idea in any way.
>He was asking about how they can ensure profits. Wasn't opposed to the idea in any way.
That's prodding for information
>This is how Vault tec solves problems, just like they did 200 years ago
>Confirms that they did drop the bombs. And no, she did not know about that meeting, only Howard did.
I'm skeptical about this one because there are signs that they went off early.
ok moron
>Vaults lack communication with one-another
>Some are blatantly unfinished
>The suggestion was a contingency in case peace was achieve but you hear that peace talks broke down in Anchorage
Sounds more like rambling of people who are big mad aka Moldova and you
>This is how Vault tec solves problems, just like they did 200 years ago
Wow, I missed this line
That's a smoking gun, BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT what if Moldaver is wrong? :^))
She is pre-war conspiracist and she had inside knowledge. Very unlikely she would be wrong.
Unfinished vaults are part of the plan. It was explained in previous fallouts that Vault Tec either didnt intend to finish all vaults or making them unfinished or unstable was part of the plan. Could it be that the nukes went off earlier than planned? Absolutely. Could it be because of something other than Vault Tec? Unlikely.
>She is pre-war conspiracist and she had inside knowledge. Very unlikely she would be wrong.
What? No? She did cold fusion R&D work for Vault-Tec and it got stolen/shelved by Vault-Tec. That's why she has such a stick up her but and joined a group decrying them
>Unfinished vaults are part of the plan. It was explained in previous fallouts that Vault Tec either didnt intend to finish all vaults or making them unfinished or unstable was part of the plan
There's an unfinished vault in FO4 that was hosting interviews for researchers just as the bombs dropped. Not convinced they'd waste manpower like that. Unstable vaults as part of the experiments sure, but those experiments would be for nothing if there was no communication between vaults and that wasn't yet finished.
R&D work for companies that got acquired by vault-tec*
Maybe he was calling her bluff so to speak. It'd probably be a bad idea to express your disapproval considering what happens to "dissidents" so the best you can do is trip them up on their own logic
Playing devil's advocate; He expressed his didsatisfaction via corpospeak at meeting because he knew he'd be assassinated had he openly called them out.
>ROBERT HOUSE
>It’s a fun idea. There’s a lot of earning potential with the end of the world. But we’re talking about making a significant investment based on a hypothetical. How can you guarantee results?
>BARB COOPER
>By dropping the bomb ourselves.
Here's your Mr. House, anon
>It’s a fun idea.
that should have been the tip off, friendo. "it's a fun idea" is not something you say in regards to something you think is a good idea. driving your bike into a brick wall sounds like a fun idea, not a good one though.
>It’s a fun idea. There’s a lot of earning potential with the end of the world. But we’re talking about making a significant investment based on a hypothetical. How can you guarantee results?
This line is noncommittal, but doesn't disapprove of the idea either, even in corpo-speak. It's purpose is to get Vault-Tec to divulge more information, which they immediately do.
It's equally as likely that "It's a fun idea" is an Amazon writer's way of saying
>look how blithe House is about the idea of turning the apocalypse into profit
It's ambiguous, like everything else in the show. You're giving them the benefit of the doubt, and I'm not.
This. Everything the writers put out for this show is so noncommittal it hurts. Every twist and turn is meant to be just vague enough to drive speculation and let complainers get hushed out by people's cope headcanon.
"No see they said it was the NCR's FIRST capital, maybe there's more elsewhere who just aren't doing anything to help the people in the remains of their country's heartland"
"No see Robert House looked vaguely skeptical when he was talking about ending human civilization, maybe he's actually against it and is just playing along"
"No see they never SAY all ghouls have to take Radaway or go feral, maybe it's just Cooper and Roger who needed it"
"No see Maximus THINKS Thad is a ghoul when he regenerates from life-threatening injury instantly, maybe Max is just being a moron again and Thad actually just used a Healing Factor Serum from the hit game Fallout 76"
It's all so tiresome.
It reminds me of LOST. Write a bunch of spaghetti on the wall, see what sticks, and then they'll likely drop the ball as soon as they have to commit to resolving their intrigue.
I still really like LOST, Desmond carries the later seasons.
lost pissed me off so fricking much. it was a legitimate 10 out of 10 all the way through, until the end was such a catastrophic disaster.
I watched it last year even though I'm a boomer, and it was an interesting experience knowing its reputation. The early seasons are REALLY good, and the it gradually gets worse the more civilization / technology there is (beyond the bunker, the bunker is great).
>"No see Robert House looked vaguely skeptical when he was talking about ending human civilization, maybe he's actually against it and is just playing along"
Yea sure you can think the story sucks but the world abides by the video games logic for the most part with stims being an instant heal etc. if halo show gave half a shit compared to the fallout show Ganker would praise it
My only problem with the first ep was the trans character. Seriously, what was the point of that? The entire base is males but there's one female clearly cosplaying as a dude. Huh?
ESG checklist
Every right wing group keeps has Female (male) cumrag. The writers are just taking notes from twitter.
>there's actually "people" on Ganker who watch this fricking garbage
jesus
Cool, still not gonna watch it.

He's the best part of the show.
Problem is he's really the only great part of the show.
Lucy's brother is okay but he doesn't really accomplish anything. Lucy and Maximus are morons.
>Cousin Stuff
Would be funny to see if people reviewed the games negatively after playing it for the show.
It seems like it is hard for long time players to rate bethesda games accurately. It's either the biggest apologists in existence, or people with eyes.
Fallout is a shit franchise, so I hope normies do not actually buy the game thinking it will be good.
Imagine their disappointment after watching Arcane finding out that it was based on league of legends.
They probably won't if they don't go earlier than 4, which seems to be where most newbies are going
>show comes out that brings the series into public consciousness again
>game is heavily discounted (5$)
>people who may have wanted to try it/now would be willing to give it a whirl after tons of updates and a full modding scene now do so
>act like they're clearly just mindless drones because they played it NOW
You're the real mindless one here, buddy.
>this is the person with creator credits on every episode
Don't look up the executive story editor's credits
Executive producers do jack shit for a show besides being the money-handlers. The writers and directors are the ones that deserve to be put up on pikes over a bad episode.
Reread my post
My mistake, but it doesn't matter as much as the rest of the show's writing and directing staff being hot-swapped out every episode and the show's creator being credited with certified flops and nothing else.
EPs make sure everyone else has their shoelaces tied correctly. A QC filter that if they care about their money, they will meddle to make sure things don't go to shit.
While they don't have the final say, they are there on set to influence things as they will.
Holy shit
I checked this writer's credits and saw Game of Thrones, but I didn't check which episodes because I memory holed the end of the show
Do you know these racist caricatures of black people, with the thick, red lips? The 1940s Disney version of black man.
The white people in this show all look like racist caricatures of white people. He is the only exception, because he looks like a zombie

Why does Bethesda put so many vaults in whatever iteration of Fallout they work on?
Fallout 3 has: 77(mentioned only), 87, 92, 101, 106, 108, 112.
Fallout 4 has: 75, 81, 88(DLC-Only), 95, 111, 114, 118(DLC-Only)
Fallout 76 has: 51, 63, 76, 79, 94, 96, along with four "Mentioned-Only" from conversations.
Vaults are not an infinite resource Bethesda, sooner or later, your gonna run out of them, and then what?
>one game a decade
We’ll all be dead before they even get halfway through
then you reboot the franchise you dingus
are you unfamiliar with pop culture
Aren't there like 300 vaults? Todd, you, and I will be long dead before they run out of vaults and when they do they can just do a soft-reboot of the franchise anyways.
>yet another shitty live action adaption
>but this time many people insist it's better despite being the same shit as halo and tlou
how did this happen?
It's a good adaptation of Bethesda Fallout
Good post.
It is better than Halo and TLOU but that's not saying anything.
people also say the witcher show was good
some people have brain worms
Its a good show in a vaccum. Only hardcore loregays, including myself, have any issues with it.
>Its a good show in a vaccum
absolutely not
It's better than every other video game adaption in recent memory. At least it tries to respect the Bethesda lore. Meanwhile with the others you have
>Witcher 3
>Writers literally went on record saying they hate the source material and the fans
>Halo
>Writers literally admit they have never read/played the source material and don't care
>TLoU
>Writer using it as a vehicle to stroke his own ego as much as possible by shoving DEI everywhere
using it as a vehicle to stroke his own ego as much as possible by shoving DEI everywhere
Genuinely how is this different from Druckmann's TLOU
Well for starters every poc in this show is evil and the only objectively good character is a white female.
That's also just TLOU The Game too
Not really? The villains in the game are all white. In the TV show the gay and lesbian coupled are all portrayed as wholesome and innocent. It was actually sickening.
The only recognizable "villains" in TLOU 1 were Marlene (black) and David (white). Everyone else was a generic nameless goon of randomized race, some white, some black, some mystery meat. Even the surgeon was either black or just covered in filth.
Anon, Marlene is the anti hero. Joel is the villain. Not that theres anything wrong with being a villain in this case but Joel is not a good person..
>Joel is the villain.
t. Neil cuckmann
Do you morons really think in such black and white terms? Unless you're counting The Ghoul as a poc, he's evil.
>Do you morons really think in such black and white terms?
Nuance is a dirty word on this board. Here we are reactionary and utterly refuse to see any side other than our own. My first responce is my last responce, and any attempt to educate me WILL be met with pure vitriol.
>It's better than every other video game adaption in recent memory
>better than cyberpunk and arcane
Cyberpunk was mid and Arcane is 4 years old.
your word is less than dirt if you can say the fallout show is better than edgerunners
Cyberpunk had garbage animation, shallow characters, and a contrived story patched together by an admittedly cool aesthetic. I am sorry for your garbage taste, but do not expect another (You).
so it was just bait
Nta but I really didn't like it. 6/10 if I'm being generous and I still laugh when people try to compare it to the brilliance that was Arcane.
Edgerunners was just a bunch of action scenes with choppy budget animation. It had basically the outline of a story
It had the best gould. Would smash.
and it's still lightyears better than fallout
nah youre wrong and an idiot
okay, enjoy your yummy israelite approved live action slop
youre mad and crying, enjoy dying alone while israel conquers europe
Fallout is better and it's not even close. Cyberpunk is forgettable in terms of entertainment.
one of the worst takes on Ganker yet
Mid is better than most video game adaptations.

Twisted Metal is good, chud
This show has levels of awful writing that is on par with the halo show. People involved in both hate the franchise as well.
They're both inept at romance and courtship. That's the entire joke. Lucy's entire life purpose was to be married off and Maximus was never taught about how his sex orangs work despite them showing someone jerking off to him. It's not shake sphere but it's as bad as Halo
I got through the first episode. things are getting cringe real fast. the show kinda sucks on a general TV show level.
>we now have people unironically defending live action trash
things really have gotten worse
