been a fan of the games for years. came into the pilot with an open mind expecting to be disappointed....was hooked right away. great job for an adaptation.
Waltong Goggins was the only cast member to be a part for me to check it out. He's such an underrated actor and the best part of Justified next to only Timothy Olyphant.
Not a Fallout fan nor ever played the games. But it's great to see Videogame movie and show adaptations are finally starting to more and more love and dedication they deserve!
Hopefully we can have a backstory on how Coop became the Ghoul for next season and how he escape the vault he was in and became the Lone Wanderer as well.
They retconned Vegas. House exists, New Vegas existed, cause recognizable person and place, yaaay fanservice. But the game itself is noncanon now, or at least as long as the show is considered canon
The TV series is just another example of the fact that forrays into the Fallout universe are best off when Bethesda aren't involved 🤣 Thanks Black Isle / Obsidian
So, either No Gods No Masters or The House Always Wins are likely the canon ending, huh? Not bad, not bad. But that was the easier and more logical route for the show to take.
You know what bothers me about Fallout, even in the games? It's been 200 years, and the vault dwellers still speak perfect English. Sure, they were in stasis for those 200 years, but what about the surface people? Do they still speak English too? It doesn't make sense. Two centuries is enough time for language to evolve significantly. Vault dwellers and surface people should struggle to understand each other. Their customs and traditions styles should differ greatly as well. What is considered formal now would likely seem bizarre to surface people. Just imagine it: a war could erupt between them simply because they couldn't communicate and understand each others .
There are some indications of differing cultures. See the tribals in Fallout 2, New Vegas and so on. In bith games, they are hunted down by slavers or have significant communication problems with outsiders. Or how basically every city has developed their own traditions.
Fallout is one of my favorite video game series! So excited for the Fallout Amazon Prime series, it looks to capture the feel of the games perfectly, they nailed the look of Brotherhood of Steel Power Armor. Great to see the series get solid reviews. 😊

Probably the best fallout thing we’ve gotten since New Vegas.

This show was amazing the attention to detail was great and all the parts flowed well together. How they introduce factions was superb as well.
Loved the show. Great writing, pace, characters, sets..
5 stars. Only problem is fusion cores last too long In power armor They should have gone through like 10 of them

wtf is Eastern BoS doing in Hollywood? what happened to the huge faction called Ceasar's Legion and NCR that's in between Eastern BoS the West Coast?

So Ella Purnell is now a lead in 2 well-regarded shows based on games. Maybe that is what Halo needed. She should have been Master Chief.
