I was pretty nervous about the show, but it far exceeded my expectations. It did a great job staying mostly true to the FO universe, and striking a balance between the serious, dark humor, and absurd tones of the games.
Hopefully we get another Fallout game sometime this decade.
I started playing Fallout 4 again this weekend. Then I got to the settlement shit and quit.
Man that was my favourite part. Easily took my GPA down 0.5 - 1.0 points
Well, some Fallouts
For someone who only liked NV from the 3D games, never touched 76 and still likes 1-2 the most how is the show?
It’s good, it definitely retains that… “silly but actually kind of brutal and depressing” thing the games have going on. Also it expands on the lore of Vault Tec, the “lifecycle” of ghouls, and some other little things. And it can be genuinely funny at times!
From what I’ve seen on the internet, the events of NV have been retconned in the show, and some people are upset about that. It seems the more of a fallout purist you are the less likely it is you’ll enjoy the show.
Most casual fallout enjoyers seem to like it well enough.
Totally disagree. I’m a diehard fallout fan, played all the games and know all of the lore. The more you know about Fallout the better it actually gets. There are some small discrepancies, but can easily be ignored if you realize how well it ties all the stories together. It literally references every single game (apart of 76 and brotherhood), even the unreleased ones and picks up the good concepts from the cancelled movie
I haven’t played any Fallout game, but I am pretty sure I own some lmao (giveaways and such), so what is the most recommended title to start with?
Do you like isometric RPGs like Baldur’s Gate, Numenera, etc? Start with 1 or 2. 3 if you’re more of an action/RPG person
Still have to watch it but I hate the ghouls. They are disgusting. I put them out of their misery in the games
