We are super exicted about this. That said, here is my take and approach...
I don't expect or want a great story/plot. Already have those in the games. I just want to see some cool live action characters and locations with few little easter eggs only those who played the games will get. Other then that, I don't really care. |

I’m going in with extremely low expectations. They put a 90 pound woman as the protagonist. I’m fairly certain there’s going to be some level of wokeness.
Fallout has been one of my favorite franchises, except for 76 because fuck multiplayer Fallout. |

Reread what I wrote, I only said that it "..struck me as odd how many males play as female characters...". I can't say as I really pay any attention to my characters once they're created and I certainly don't pay any attention to their asses when they walk, it's just a game. For example, despite my level and money in RDR2 my character looks the same as when I started and is usually wearing a summer or winter outfit depending on location (I think there are only three or four outfits on the horse and whatever free clothing items stored at camp); I don't really care about buying all of the fancy looking stuff, just upgrading equipment. Lots of players do, obviously, and if that makes the game more fun for them I don't care, I just find it a bit odd. FWIW, I've played other species in other games or the female if that's the role that comes up, never thought that much about it, but when starting a new game it also hasn't really occurred to me to choose to be female either- no latent troon fantasies here.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By thejokker: I started Fallout 4 with a female character just so I would not have to look at a man's ass during the game. Two weeks later I found out my cousins daughter was the model for Fallout 4. Was staring at my cousins daughters ass creepy? I loved that game so I tried playing the earlier versions. They sucked. I'm sure the stories were great but the interface made them unplayable. Fallout 76 was kind of weak at launch but they kept expanding the game and now it's not too bad... Looking forward to watching the show. Happen to know who the model is for the Nuka Cola girl in 76? Good lord. |

Amazon seems pretty hit and miss, could be woke garbage and it could be tolerable entertainment.
On the one hand you have a female protagonist, but on the other hand the main character is supposed to be naive and way out of her depth. We also have a minority male protagonist (Iron Brotherhood) and it appears the only white male protagonist is a ghoul who is horribly deformed. Amazon has put out some pure woke garbage like their Lord of the Rings series, but they've had some good ones like "Terminal List" and "Reacher." So, fingers crossed. |

But hasn't that always been the presentation of the Vault Dwellers vs the Wastelanders?
The trope is that the Vault Dwellers either lived in an absolute hell of government experimentation, or they lived in some idyllic 50's style ship in a bottle. Nearly every Fallout game in which the protagonist is a Vault Dweller who come from a world of comfort / plenty that suddenly has a problem requiring them to leave the vault in search of a solution. The Vault Dweller having a culture shock with the Wastelanders is par for the course. They go from a controlled environment to an uncontrolled one. Yes there are class warfare angles to it, but it always has the dark subtext that the Vault Dweller also comes from a government experiment in which they were oblivious. What the purpose of the vault in the show will be is yet to be determined. Sure, the outside Wastelander world might see the Vault Dweller as coming from a paradise of plenty when in reality their vault might have had mandatory buttfuckings every Tuesday or they all got forced sex changes at 18. The vaults were hell, just some hells had nice pillows and dinty moore dinners. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By godzillamax: This. Make the protagonist like Ripley in Alien/Aliens, will be a great show. Make her like any of the Mary Sue "girl bosses" in so mamy of the movies/shows of the last few years it will suck. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By godzillamax: Originally Posted By ArmyInfantryVet: Given that Fallout lets you play as a male or female protagonist. Yeah, it doesn't bother me at all. What will be important is she has to go through a heroes journey. Like, not have her as some Mary Sue. lol Keep in mind that this is based on a video game. It is INTENDED to be like the video game. There are two very important things to remember, IMO. First, the ENTIRE POINT of the Fallout games (especially Fallout 1, 3 and 4) is that you start out as a VERY weak and generally clueless character, who is not good at fighting, is not skilled with weapons, and who does not understand how the world works. Then, as you explore and go through the gameplay, you become stronger and more skilled. By the end of the game, you are an unstoppable murder machine with ridiculously powerful weapons and insane skills. Second, in several of the games, especially Fallout 3 and New Vegas (and possibly FO4, can't remember), there is a distinct and strong advantage to playing as a female character, because the female-specific perks are much stronger and more useful than the male-specific perks. So if the show is about a weak and clueless woman that gradually becomes powerful and awesome and has a big effect on the world - that's actually not inconsistent with Fallout gameplay at all. Like others have said, there's a good way to pull this off that would be consistent with the game and cool, and there's a terrible way to do this, that's all woke and Mary Sue. I'm hoping for the former, but would not be too surprised by the latter. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By snakes19: the main character is a Vault Dweller, she is the definition of privileged. She lived in a high tech, radiation free, bunker that she "inherited" her place in because her 1% great great grand parents were either rich or connected enough to get a spot in. And you were (presumably) born in the US, arguably the top 4% of the world. So I suppose you agree with the privilege arguments being used to flood your country with enemies. I swear, slap a brand on a thing and you can make fans swallow just about anything you feed them. |

I have higher hopes than most here, it appears. Amazon has a good track record of shows...The Boys is awesome, definitely NOT woke. Walton Goggins is great in whatever he's in. The CGI and practical effects look great on screen. I would be a little worried if they were trying to bring the same story lines from the Fallout games to the TV screen, but it's a new vault and a new location, Los Angeles. It can't be worse than Fallout 76. |

Very much enjoyed fallout 3 and loved fallout new vegas. Tried 4 and still have it on my PC but never got into it. Even after 10 years I go back and play a few hours of NV every now and again. Still one of my favorite games. I don't have high hopes for the show and will take it with a grain of salt. Low expectations are easily met.
I just hope I see a character in the show scavenge a "bent tin can" and trade it in for .5 caps.

Nothing like just playing your game and some chick comes up and a dude starts speaking over the in game comm. Quite a lot of the point of video games, it so do things that we can't and be someone we are not.
