            A good follow up in season 2 would be that the Chinese did actually fire first. Then it would make sense why black lady let her daughter be caught in the blast and why House had no idea when it would happen. Then they can have their little moment where Coop can reunite with his wife who he thought was evil but actually she was good all along.

            >Vault-Tec being the responsible for nukes, and not China/Russia

            Not confirmed, all it says is Vault-Tec was willing to nuke people, this isn't a surprise. Why is her daughter outside of a vault when the nukes drop if it was her plan to drop them first ? The nukes could have gone off a day earlier from Russia or China, though I think that's lame because Americans are obviously the most evil nation in the pre war setting and you have to unironically accept their propaganda to think otherwise.

            not needing water/food to survive
            What? We see cooper literally eat meat and say he needs to. "Sometimes a fellas gotta eat another fella"

            needing a serum to not go feral
            Not true, it shows that once you show signs of going feral the drug can slow it down. Ghouls being on a natural pathway to feral is canon and adding a substance to help delay that isn't very kooky.

            There's plenty of actual issues in the show which if you watched it you could propbably actually critique the show. For example

            How come during the first episode the vault dweller who married lucy didn't realize no-one from his vault was there during the ceremony ? He had only been out of the vault for a few years, he should recognise people and that these people are all strangers

                But this nuke was not from the Courier accidentally launching nukes, but from some defrosted Vault-Tec jackass having incel rage after his wife left him to stay in Shady Sands so he nuked the place.

                The courier accidently launched them by delivering the codes, Vaulttec can just do that on purpose. What I mean is that NEw VEgas shows there is nukes around, they are accessible and can nuke things.

            Ill give it to you that this wasn't explained very well. Basically all that was said was that there was a downfall in the country before the nukes dropped which could mean that 2077 through New Vegas was the downfall of the NCR before it got nuked which would make sense given the fact that the whole reason the NCR was interested in the Dam and by extension New Vegas was due to it seeing better days.
            >Vault-Tec being the responsible for nukes, and not China/Russia
            Are you even surprised? This is the same company that just wanted to build fallout shelters specifically to do social/psychological experiments for profit.
            >Ghouls not needing water/food to survive
            The ghoul was dug up periodically to be fed and given water so that they could carve up pieces of him as a food source. Plus the bag above his grave were drugs to keep him from becoming feral.
            >Ghouls needed a serum to not go feral
            It was implied in the games that all ghouls become feral eventually though the process is never really touched upon. Seeing how insta-cure medicine is a thing in fallout such as radaway and stimpacks, are you really surprised that there is a drug that helps deter this process as well?

            said, it was poorly explained but shady sands was nuked after the events of Fallout New Vegas. The downfall was not necessarily the nuke and was an economic/political one which you hear about in New Vegas.

              Not confirmed, all it says is Vault-Tec was willing to nuke people, this isn't a surprise. Why is her daughter outside of a vault when the nukes drop if it was her plan to drop them first ? The nukes could have gone off a day earlier from Russia or China, though I think that's lame because Americans are obviously the most evil nation in the pre war setting and you have to unironically accept their propaganda to think otherwise.

              not needing water/food to survive
              What? We see cooper literally eat meat and say he needs to. "Sometimes a fellas gotta eat another fella"

              needing a serum to not go feral
              Not true, it shows that once you show signs of going feral the drug can slow it down. Ghouls being on a natural pathway to feral is canon and adding a substance to help delay that isn't very kooky.

              There's plenty of actual issues in the show which if you watched it you could propbably actually critique the show. For example

              How come during the first episode the vault dweller who married lucy didn't realize no-one from his vault was there during the ceremony ? He had only been out of the vault for a few years, he should recognise people and that these people are all strangers

              either way, todd howard cleared the air about this. You seem to just be clamoring the reasons as to why the show "isn't canon" because you have no legitimate criticisms.

              Why would the legion be tech cultists when they hate relying on tech since its a reminder of the old world that brought the end of the world? Also Brotherhood are clearly an actually military in the show, you seem them train and they have ranks. The show writers decided to amp up the tech obsession 100x by added moronic religious shit to it.
              >confirmed inter-faction sectors by the show depicting the commonwealth BOS and the West BOS as distinct entities, with the commonwealth being in control
              That was already established in Fallout 3 and NV. What does that even prove?
              >BOS is teaching anti-sex practices to assumedly prevent blasphemy
              This doesn't even make sense for the legion. The legion wasn't anti-sex, they literally were ok with rape and having sex slaves, the brotherhood never had an anti-sex belief in all of the games, they literally rely on their members having sex since they rarely recruit outsiders. The whole thing with Veronica in NV is that she was hated for not having sex with a male and for being a carpet muncher. This anti-sex shit was added by the show writers.

                Because they got assimilated by a larger organization that values tech, so they just teach the basics so their knights can recognize it but not use it. They still uphold their original values by shipping it east away from their territory, thus ridding it from the new world.
                >they’re still an actual military
                Much more akin to medieval knighthood than anything. Yes they come together to fight occasionally, but no knight is acting as a commander of a squadron regularly. Much more akin to actual knights who just went around and did shit by themselves

It does not say "Trans men are strong because X and Y and we're going to suck a real politician who agrees' wiener."

      i still don't understand why even the non-fallout people praise it so much.
      I expected the lore to get assraped all the way to esophagus, so i don't really give a shit on that part, but the show is so obviously cheaply made visually i can't fathom why people don't bring it up more.
      Where the frick did 200 million budget go? Why is the ghoul just a sunburnt human, especially considering amazon apparently holds a patent for some kino zombie makeup tech, why does power armor flail like a ragdoll in the air, why does a building made of scrap not even budge when a 100kg+ suit of mechanical armor hits it on full speed, why does the armor look like shitty cgi when its supposed to be practical, why is every green screen so fricking obvious, why is the color grading so fricking bland?
      We had better looking TV shows in early 2000s. We had better looking fan works in 2010s made with a shoelace budget for fricks sake. Why the frick we couldn't at least stagnate on that level of quality instead of going into that shit?

        Do you really want the actors to be running around on stilts falling over all the time? It is way too big to just find a big actor to fill the suit. The only way this works is if they actually splurged the budget on a real exoskeleton, and not even anything that currently exists because the ankles and wrists are fully mechanical and separate from the wearer.

          I wouldn't mind that actually, but this isn't the first piece of media that tried to depict a big suit of armor in action.
          There could have been several ways it could go:
          1) Use CGI for more elaborate shots rather than just action and practical armor for more calm moments
          2) Use a puppet with a crane
          3) Make it normal-sized with oversized proportions and use the camera angles to trick the viewer into thinking it's actually big
          And those aren't even all the options, just the ones i can get off my head.
          Instead, we have an actor walking around like he soiled his huge metal diaper all the time. Fricking Weller in his personal hellscape known as the robocop suit had more mobility than this shit.
          Also your point has nothing to do with the fact that this practical armor looks like shitty CGI in the moments where its definitely shouldn't be.

              it's the movement because the suit is so restrictive. It does not look like a powerful walking tank that made the chinese legions shit themselves in the war - it just looks like a moron with arthritis plated in metal. The presentation is fricked even if the armor itself is well-made
              If they spent some time in making it move closer to what F4 power armor does, even the fricking T-60 would look imposing as frick.

              Camera angle trickery is classic and can work to a degree, but remember that PA limbs are longer than normal so it will be tricky to keep that illusion if the actor is wearing a simple rubber suit.

              If it worked with making John Davies looking like a midget despite being almost 2 metres tall and not looking like that robocop falling puppet, it can deal with power armor limbs too.
              You can also create that illusion by modifying armor proportions to make the pelvis look higher than it actually is.

                I don't like the color of it. It doesn't look like steel to me (even if PA isn't supposed to be cast steel, it's supposed to be space age superalloys). It just looks like weathered plastic.

                Yeah well that's the problem, they would literally be commissioning an actual suit of power armor. I'm sure that whatever material that is used would need to have the same thickness and weight to give the impression of being heavy metal, if not being actual metal, and at that point it meets the functional definition of powered armor.

                I was talking about the joint freedom, not the weight. The weight you can emulate with proper acting even if you are wearing paper, but you can't act like you have almost complete range of movement (Like game armor does) when your arm can only bend for 45 degrees max

      like [...] said, it was poorly explained but shady sands was nuked after the events of Fallout New Vegas. The downfall was not necessarily the nuke and was an economic/political one which you hear about in New Vegas.

      That's pure backpedalling on Todd's part, and this is why he's so good at making you buy the same game over and over again.
      It's obvious the "fall of shady sands" and it being nuked were the same event, why else would they choose such a specific date (2277) for a event that is barely shown?

      • 2 weeks ago
        Anonymous

        Imagine for a moment, purely as a hypothetical, that back in 2021 on January 6th the people at the white house got inside, hanged the vice president, executed roughly half of congress, and burned down the building. Shit goes downhill. Riots begin in other cities, martial law gets declared, and a minor civil war essentially breaks out. Then, after a couple years of this, someone nukes DC and wipes it off the map. It would be completely fair for someone to look back at the original event that precipitated all the other shit and say, "2020 was the year DC fell". But someone else might say, "No, DC fell the moment Trump took office, back in 2016." And another might say, "No, you're all wrong. DC was fine up until the bomb fell in 2023."

        Those are all perfectly valid interpretations that you could slap in a timeline on a chalkboard because the "fall" of a city doesn't need to be some singular event. It can be multiple things or a process.

          This interpretation doesnt work either because there's 0 mention of such an event in New Vegas.
          If there was an event significant enough to be called "The Fall of Shady Sands", Caesar wouldnt shut up about it, rather than just saying the NCR is corrupt and relying on ideologies.

          Considering the track record of Bethesda writting in 3, 4 and 76 it's obvious they dont even understand the lore of their own IP.

          Biggest problem is that the so called "Fall" isn't shown at all in the show or in New Vegas. Wtf is this so called "fall" of shady sands? New Vegas never mentions that Shady Sands is going through some decline. The reality is that the show writers wanted to make a story in California but still wanted it to be set in a complete shithole where people are dying everyday just to get basic needs and that couldn't have happened in the established lore. So instead of setting it earlier in the time-line like before 1, during 1 or even shortly after the events of 1, they made vault-tec still alive and somehow have access to an aresnal of nuclear weapons even though the NCR(Even in 2) have a whole department dedicated to hunting down vaults and pre-war military installations) get nuked because some dudes wife left him. Instead of creating a cool story about the NCR dying because its own greed and mistakes. The show honestly feels like it was written by AI. Now New Vegas is a shit hole as well because god forbid that after 220 years, people aren't living like Indians.

    That's to make morons consume everything. Nothing ever stays relevant when jumping between mediums. Ubisoft make a big stink about how the Assassin's Creed movie being canon and all it amounted to was a file in Origins saying Abstergo's CEO got killed so they hired a new one. You'll get a vague allusion to the shot in Fallout 5 that doesn't connect to the fricked up details at best.

I think if there was a fourth season of Deadwood, there'd be insurance companies, there'd be traffic, and it wouldn't be a Western anymore. We wanted to live in that first season of Deadwood space, of like, “What's going to happen? Where is everything?”

                It didn't jump from central California to LA you moron. LA already had established towns and cities. The whole point of Shady sands was to show that even in the middle of no where, humans can still make a little piece of heaven in a hellish world and that places with humble beginnings can build themselves up to become great powers. Instead having Shady Sands in LA just shows that you can only build off of the old world and what came before.

                states, it changes the whole message of Fallout 1 and the series and also deletes other settlements that were unique from Shady Sands all because the show writers were lazy. Go ahead and start screaming about the trannies in your head but at least attempt to be a little less moronic.

                If it makes you feel better, what Tim Cain really said was that lore drift is inevitable in longrunning franchises, that Bethesda decides the story's direction now, and that his opinion doesn't matter any more than yours(referring to OG Fallout fans).
                The same guy who had serious issues with Fallout 2, self-professed that he compartmentalizes every sequel game as being not part of "his" Fallout, and "politely disagrees" with Bethesda's idea about who dropped the bombs when the reveal of who dropped the bombs is like the whole thrust behind what the Fallout show culmimates in thematically.

                Basically, anons saying Tim Cain uncritically praised the show and gave it his endorsement are being a bit disingenuous at best, because it comes with the massive asterisk that he has never held any fallout content as corroborative with his first game regardless.

          It didn't jump from central California to LA you moron. LA already had established towns and cities. The whole point of Shady sands was to show that even in the middle of no where, humans can still make a little piece of heaven in a hellish world and that places with humble beginnings can build themselves up to become great powers. Instead having Shady Sands in LA just shows that you can only build off of the old world and what came before.

            It's location relative to everything else is in the same place, and it's still in the middle of nowhere. At worst it's location change in the second map is "well shit it's a little too far one way" Moving it to LA is a completely different environment.
            It's also completely fixable because you could just have the town be Adytum.

            Dude at least try. The moving of Shady Sands isn't "irrelevant" as [...] states, it changes the whole message of Fallout 1 and the series and also deletes other settlements that were unique from Shady Sands all because the show writers were lazy. Go ahead and start screaming about the trannies in your head but at least attempt to be a little less moronic.

              That's literally the point of the first game and the games later on. It shows that even in the worst possible event, humans still come together and can build something great even from nothing by coming together by force or otherwise(Unity, NCR, Legion BOS). But the idea of people not living in shitholes must be insane for a shit skin like yourself so I get why you completely missed that.

              Nice job failing to moron ESL moron. By moving Shady Sands into LA, not only did you miss out on the main message of Shady Sands itself from Fallout 1/2, you just deleted other settlements all because the writers can't be bothered to write a story without making the main character walk 2 feet from their main objective. I really hope Amazon pays you well for being so moronic.

                they didn't label it shady sands. Shady Sands was in a completely different location from the observatory. Also Shady Sands was nuked, there wouldn't be any ruins left. Way to prove my point that you didn't actually watch it.

                There's the nuke leading from "Fall of Shady Sands" on the board, there's that credits scene on ep 5 with the library book that stops in December 2276, there's the vault cult survivors talking about the ashes of the dead from the fall of shady sands.

                It's not. Whether you view it from an in-universe perspective or a screenwriting perspective, it's obviously just a minor mistake that had much bigger consequences that the writers weren't aware of. It doesn't make one iota of sense why every single event on the chalkboard has a date appended except for the one which is most important. (Which raises an unrelated question about why the NCR "becoming the most economically and politically powerful" power has a specific date appended, but whatever.)

                While it is true that Bethesda fans will bend over backwards to find excuses for why things are the way they are in Bethesda products, there's no way that they intentionally wrote what could be very easily interpreted as a mistake as a

    First off, the old Fallout is dead. New Vegas told you very clearly to let go of the past.

    Second, the show is a great adaptation of Bethesda Fallout. The production design is great, and the atmosphere and tone of the series are consistent with Bethesda Fallout. The issue is that it's set on the West Coast, but it leverages none of the setting's strengths. It transforms it into a desolate garbage-scape like the Capitol Wasteland or Commonwealth. The only non-NCR, non-vault settlement in the show, Filly, is inspired by Megaton - although it is based around a landfill rather than an undetonated atomic bomb, mercifully.

    The only other settlement is the NCR remnants at Griffifth Observatory, and the show's treatment of the NCR is so simplistic, so stupid, that I don't know how any discussion gets past the point of
    >Amazon moved Shady Sands 150 miles south of where it is in 1, 2, & NV so that they could nuke it to retell the stories of 3 & 4
    The NCR in the show is not a faction, nor is the NCR "leader" in the show is not an actual character. They are both plot devices in Lucy's sub-plot and the overarching plot about Vault-Tec which ties together her, Norm's, and the ghoul's stories. The NCR was written into the show because it was something that Fallout fans recognize, in the same way that the Brotherhood, super mutants, and the Enclave were thoughtlessly written into Fallout 3.
    Neither Amazon nor Moldaver have anything meaningful to say about the NCR as a society. There is no cathartic moment where Moldaver tells Hank that Shady Sands was founded by the former inhabitants of Vault 15, and that the NCR - the closest thing to "civilization" that the West produced - owes its existence to another vault dweller from Vault 13. Hank doesn't realize the sheer irony of Vault-Tec bombing a civilization founded by vault dwellers so Vault-Tec can found civilization in Vault-Tec's image, because the writers don't even realize it.

    It's a perfect adaptation of Bethesda Fallout.

      It's a "wacky romp" through the wasteland that people like because it looks like Fallout. The sets, costumes, and props are cool.

      Walter Goggins and the little manlet are the only thing actually carrying the show to its status as a 6/10. The other two sub-plots are awful. Lucy's is just the stories of Fallout 3 and 4 recombined into a mystery meat amalgam, and Maximus is so stupid that the only explanation is that his character is a metacommentary on low intelligence builds. Other than that, it's turn your brain off fun with lots of violence and gore. 90% of the plot of the first season is vague, unanswered intrigue that the writers clearly haven't committed to.

        I find it funny that it requires an adaptation to be based on a game with an intelligence score for a dumb character to be acceptable. They *should* always be acceptable, yet most of the time criticism will be leveled at characters who do dumb things. "Why didn't X do thing, was he dumb?" It's fair when they perform uncharacteristically odd actions but it really shouldn't be a sticking point for a character to be canonically <= 3 INT.

    Doesn't all Fallout games have multiple endings? If so, then this means that this could be an alternate ending that was canonized. I only played Fallout 4 and that also had multiple endings. There are many other endings the player can choose from in the game, and you could technically view this show as an alternate universe since it is different from the choice you picked during your last run of the fallout game that you played.

          the whole franchise is a retcon upon retcon. the true purpose of the vaults is... a retcon. NCR existing.... is a retcon, enclave existing... is a retcon. vault tec and project safehouse... retcon.... EEP/PVP/new plague/curling-13... retcon. it turns out that you can't make up new lore without retcons

          It's the best way to describe it because that's exactly what it is. It appeals to the lowest common denominator and it's made for idiots who don't think about anything more than cool power armor and cool laser beams.

          the whole word is just a cope, that's the point. morons always love pretending like they are above something, yet they want to have their opinions validated or engaged by people they try to demoralize.

            Plenty of people do complain about it. I'm personally fine with it because it was not a particularly egregious break, all the vaults we see in the first game do have serious issues even if they are not presented as intentional experiments. My problem with the show is that the changes are egregious, and generally only serve to make the world smaller and less interesting. And I'm utterly confounded by the people who absolutely refuse to acknowledge that there are any inconsistencies at all, coming up with extensive head-canons to explain how words don't actually mean what they say.

              because i literally don't give a frick if there are random wrecked skyscrapers that some env artist put in the background for a 2sec shot they probably worked 15 mins on.

              my main issue is that they said shady sands fell in 2277 when in 2281 NV citizens are talking about politicians in shady sands. yet its entirely conceivable that the writing process just missed this, and it's also possible that the idea of trying to preserve NV's game canon to the last minute detail was not regarded as necessary, when you can see the show play very fast and loose with the lore in general like showing arm jetpacks or the suits becoming "stiff" when disconnected from power, or ghouls needing rad-x to stay non-feral

                so now you have shifted to pretending that the first minute of fallout 1 everyone sees when they start the game is somehow hidden lore that nobody but you is privy to?
                >Fallout 2 that turned pre-war America into a totalitarian militaristic dystopia
                a "militaristic dystopia" doesn't cover the level of human experimentation employed by VT/enclave, also a dystopia doesn't even begin to cover the actual pre war state of america, which was ravaged by riots. their government had no control of the situation.
                >Yeah, it doesn't. Because the Vault retcons developed from the Vaults themselves and how someone pointed to Tim Cain that they're too few in number to effectively save America, independently from the Enclave
                and the original point has nothing to do with this. I know what the vault experiments retconned, the idea of the state being behind this is somehow lost on you and you keep thinking that executing rebels which are a threat to your garrisons is somehow the same thing as conspiring to perform pseudoscientific medical experiments on a population scale is somehow the same lol

                Which is beyond moronic, because nazism is its own ideology, and even if I'm gonna ignore you not knowing what Nazism means, Fallout 2 didn't turn pre-war America into it, Fallout 1 already showed what the government was capable of

                how is any of my stance "no u", you literally just claimed, against my own word, that i didn't know about the LITERAL OPENING CINEMATIC of fallout 1, after i started talking about fallout 1 and 2 lore.... if anything, you are doing the exact thing, dare i say you are projecting.
                >Which is beyond moronic, because nazism is its own ideology, and even if I'm gonna ignore you not knowing what Nazism means
                nazism embodies racial sciences from late 19th and early 20th century european (mainly, it did spread into the americas as well) political sciences while synethsizing it with fascism, which is an ideology entirely for the state. obviously the enclave are interested in racial hygiene, and it's obvious they are on the fascist spectrum, considering their states are more or less ran by corporations and rampant usage of political violence against communists.

                We are talking about Fallout 1 and 2, the information you are talking about is conveyed in the intro cinematic which everyone watches. Your entire argument has now shifted to "you didn't watch the intro cinematic of the game you are talking about", after your initial argument about the PoWs being executed means the same as the government killing their own population for experiments didn't work out.

                So either you are claiming I somehow didn't watch the opening cinematic of Fallout 1 but I know the vault experiment is a retcon entirely, or you aren't. Which one is it? Don't get sidetracked again.

              Which isn't egregious at all. You find 4 Vaults in 1. Yours has a broken chip and will die without help, 15 is abandoned, Necropolis had a faulty door and turned everyone in it into monsters and the LA vault was taken over by a monster. 75% of all vaults you find ended in disaster/suffered from problems. It's not a stretch at all to imagine it was done on purpose.

                If those retcons aren't egregious then neither is the retcon that shady sands built skyscrapers between FO2 and Fallout on Prime. It's even less egregious than Shady Sands becoming the most powerful faction in teh world!11 after they can't keep their own villagers safe from khans without the dweller's intervention. By all means they should have been wiped as soon as the dweller left by the next group of raiders.
                >And? The state was already shown as evil. It invaded our friendly northern neighbors for resources
                Did leave out the rather crucial fact that they invaded for resources. Especially oil, which was still a life necessity despite attempts at converting to fusion.

                So then, you see no difference between invading a country over national resources, and turning your surviving population into human data samples so that you can send a space ship with the VT/Enclave staff to start anew? A plan which by all means was a long shot, and didn't work out.
                >Yeah, I remember all those swastikas in the oil rig
                Why doesn't it matter that the Enclave wants to gas all "muties"? In other words anyone that isn't them. It's painfully obvious where their inspirations come from, coupled with the portrayal as cartoonishly evil faction, whose political leader is some "republican". It's extremely, painfully obvious they are fallout nazis.

                What the frick are you talking about. The skyscrapers are LA pre-war skyscrapers. The retcon is that Shady Sands was moved into LA instead of being a completely post-war settlement 150 miles away.

                I find it interesting how their new version of Shady Sands seems to be so elaborately designed. It has its own architectural style and a whole fricking tram system with stylish ornately decorated trams. The trams are even shown in the vault's chalk board and the miniature diorama, as if they were really proud of them. Some people on the production team actually really thought the whole thing through, but for some reason they absolutely felt a need to move the town to the LA suburbs instead of keeping it in the desert. It would be interesting to hear the story behind that change, if there is any.

                Well there are many different roles and levels of decision-making on show like this. The decision that the show should be focused on LA and Hollywood imagery and should feature a similar level of development as FO3 was probably taken at a producer level. Then some writers were tasked to make this happen, found out California had a capital with tens of thousands of inhabitants and decided to make that a central plot point. Then artists were tasked with coming up with a look for this new city in LA. Even if one of the CGI developers is a fan of FO1 and decides to include an obelisk from the original Shady Sands in the background, he has no influence over it now being in the middle of the Boneyard.

                The NCR did have well-developed settlements in the Boneyard, one of the doctors in NV mentions going to university there. So something like that could have existed without retcons. But the showrunners wanted to kill off the entire NCR, so it had to be the capital.

                You're right. It invaded Canada. Stole and plundered it and also massacred the local population. It's not just evil, it's super evil.
                >So then, you see no difference between invading a country over national resources,
                It's not about seeing no difference, it's evil either way. Rape and murder aren't the same but they're both evil. The US government being evil was already established. It being more evil isn't a stretch

                The moron you're degrading yourself talking to, also conveniently forgets that the mutants in FO1 were (pretty much all) evil due to the master's control.

                In an apocalyptic wasteland, where every day is a fight for survival, you don't take any chances. Even in an organisation like the Enclave. Its perfectly understandable that they wanted to get rid of that shit just to be sure.

                Enclave didn't care that much about mutants. They discovered them fairly late in their plan when they excavated Mariposa. They explicitly wanted wastelanders dead. Curling-13, the FEV strain they developed, is exceptionally deadly to pure humans, as the experiments on V13 Dwellers confirmed. In fact, the less human you are, the less deadly it gets! Deatthclaws and floaters would be just fine!

    - Wants NCR to exist perpetually as a post-apoc United States Govt because he likes the safety of big daddy government

              How is is not?
              Awful cinematography, terrible special effects, college level play costuming
              It literally misses the point of a lot of the short stories it adapts, it gives an unnecessary and intrusive backstory to Yen that occupies to much of the show, it ruins the friendship between Dandelion and Geralt, by turning Dandelion into a queer and Geralt a nearly mute angery man, and it's so obsessed with diversity it literally hurts it's own story, casting terrible actors (Triss) and actors that can't fight when they should (the midgets)
              It's prime frickin garbage and if you liked I bet you liked Amazon's Lord the Rings abortion too

        I've played everything except Tactics and I liked it. Now I'll play Tactics soon since the show seems to lean hard into the whole idea of Vault-Tec trying to retake the wasteland.

        • 2 weeks ago
          Anonymous

          Tactics is very detached from that, you only fight the vault robot army in the last act. Long before that its raiders, mutants and supermutants for days. You may find that turn based is better than ATB as you progress the game because those super muties with .50 machineguns are no joke when you're managing everything in real time. I don't think you get the first tier of power armor by that point, only afterwards.

    >I dont think we can recover from this
    People said the same thing when Fallout "Oblivion with guns" 3 released. In fact, people were already upset at Fallout 2 for being more "whimsical".

    The reason why fans accept the show is because everyone knows that Fallout canon has been fricked beyond saving already. There's no coming back either way.

    So a show that does its own mix of things but gets pretty much the tone and details right(/at least as far as vidya adaptions go) is accepted. I mean hell, do you think Fallout 5 won't do its own canon once again, just like 3 and 4 did? Todd is unhinged.

    ONLY thing I found actually moronic is that the NCR lady made no sense. Even seeking revenge on Kyle Maclachlan, it made little sense to murder innocent people for that. It made even less sense that she's NCR. The NCR doesn't care for anything not-NCR. It would be more fitting if she were a Follower of the Apocalypse.

        EARLY ACCESS REVIEW
        POSTED: APRIL 22
        The devs/staff are cool with sexual harassment. Got into global argument with people who were talking about my vegana and saying they were going to run a train on me and choke me with a necklace. Because I defended myself by arguing back, I got banned. The devs/staff did not do anything to the people who were sexually harassing me. In fact, they closed my ticket when I complained. I asked why they closed it and they apologized and asked me to restate my experience. I had to go through the story all over again and also included more evidence of them on a private server. The answer was they dont care, basically. It has been over a month of back and forth texting. This game is toxic as and the devs dont care about sexual harassment.

        This is a review that gets my purchase of the game.

      That's basically how everyone thinks about it. It's not even just Fallout, it's the same thing with every IP. Every new installment is basically a new thing. Sometimes a new installment strays into the wrong direction and the next installment basically ignores it. This will likely happen with the Fallout show. They've fricked a few things up. Nothing incredibly major so far, but the signs are there. We saw that Westworlds season 1 was pretty good, but the latter seasons were garbage. It's very likely that the same thing will happen with the Fallout show and Bethesda will go "Ehhh..... yeah that happened" and avoid talking about it.

    They are also trying to build Ella Purnell as a "woman of the fans" like Henry Cavill was. The idea is she plays FO4 and then plays a part in the series, that makes her one of the good ones just like Henry is for knowing his lore.
