If this guy is 200 years old and just now starting a family, he's not gonna go back in the hibernation tank for the next iteration of their master plan, is he? That's my understanding, but I was distracted by loot much of the show and could have missed something.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JsARCLIGHT: Overseer Dale Cooper did mention during Lucy's wedding feast that the next generation were going to be the ones to reclaim the surface (implying Lucy's children), so my guess is that the VaultTec executives are expecting to completely thaw out the whole board soon.

Then there is Bud, who chose to become a pseudo Robobrain Jr. who will most likely live for centuries like that.

I have some gripes- like flying T60 armor without a jet pack- but those gripes are minor. IMHO overall it was a well done first season. I only hope they continue on this trajectory and not fuck it up with woke.
Cooper Howard/The Ghoul is an outstanding character. I also think they did an amazing job bringing the T60 power armor into live action. |

Yeah, that’s what I mean. It was well done. Looking at a mesh rip from Fallout 4, the armor has all sorts of clashes as it operates- moving and opening. Doesn’t matter at all in game since it’s virtual. But physically it’s a mess. Basically stated, I gave up trying to optimize the model for 3D printing. The team on the show had to manipulate proportions and adjust all the areas that impinge to make it work. They did an awesome job cleaning it up and staying true to the design. |

A few other (minor) gripes with the show:
1) cars were shown as typical 50’s sedans instead of futuristic nuclear powered vehicles like the games. A fusion core blast or two from them would have been a nice change of pace. 2) what was that drug the the Ghoul was taking to keep from going feral, Jet? I don’t recall anything like that in the games, the feral ghouls were ones who got too high of a dose of radiation. Fallout 3 had those 2 ghouls cooking Ultrajet from sugar bombs cereal but I thought that was more of a ‘breaking bad’ type thing. 3) not a real gripe, but it would have been nice to see a magazine or two, like Grognak the barbarian or Duck and Cover around. |

Grognak was also briefly on the TV at the birthday party in the first episode.
I took the car thing as simply the production not wanting to have to build a bunch of practical vehicles or CGI them into scenes when just using a bunch of actual real 50's cars that look weird would work for most folks. |

There is a grognak tv show. There are various wasteland survival guides throughout the series as well. As to the drugs, I think they are going to expand the fallout lore to make writing the show more compelling or easier for non fallout fans to understand. Wouldn’t be surprised if ghoul ends up feral in a season or 2. They certainly foreshadowed it. |

First time I binged it - looking for the overall picture. This time I am looking for each easter egg and bit of sarcastic humor. That is why I am enjoying the jokes more. The wasteland golden rule was one of them - it was both somewhat funny, and an easter egg to side quests which nobody really loves.

Anyone who honestly thinks “99.9% of films and tv shows are woke” either has a VERY different definition of what constitutes “woke” than the vast majority of people (including here) or they are the far-right version of “REEEEEEEEE!” Those are the only two options. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Naporter: In some of the games, if you take the "Cannibal" perk, you can eat the people you murder. I think a lot of people underestimate just how dark some of the Fallout stuff can really get. This is a mass media TV show being watched by tons of people that have no familiarity with the games. I've played them all except 76, starting with F2 as a kid. Fallout is my favorite video game IP of all time. It's always been bleak with tons of dark humor and flushing out things moving into the 3d games. Some of storylines in the vaults alone had more creativity going for them entire franchises have managed. My .02, I found the show enjoyable, and consider it an A+ for a video game show, really about as good as we can expect. Far as the woke stuff goes the IP has always included vault tec as an evil corporation, diverse characters have always been included, and the vault dweller we got here is a very attractive female that is not shown just completely kicking the shit out of everybody. It's waaaay above average in terms of no ridiculous woke stuff. Yes, they could still fuck it up and it's not the best written show ever, but as a life long fan of the IP I think it's a great start. I hope it's commercially successful for them because there's enough depth to the IP to last many seasons. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tiberius: I doubt he chose that, his betters chose that for him. He WAS the one who developed the cryo tech they use to preserve everyone, so it only stands to reason he'd be made into a Robobrain to monitor the system as everyone else was frozen. From the way the character is depicted in the show I bet he jumped at the chance... however I bet they showed him a design photo of an actual Robobrain from the games, with arms, tank treads, guns, etc. and instead they put him in a Roomba. |

Fun as hell to pickpocket people right out of their armor in FO4 You can also target it in VATS - if you hit it hard enough, it explodes like a mini nuke |

Not a Fallout gamer, so forgive me for the following question:
What group was the scientist whose head Lucy cut off from? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By pj1016: Not a Fallout gamer, so forgive me for the following question: What group was the scientist whose head Lucy cut off from? It is implied he is with the Enclave. The show really did not show much of the Enclave, so it is left a little nebulous. The Enclave in the games is the remnant of the US Government. They are rabidly patriotic, rabidly anti-everybody but them to the point of genocide, and their military forces have the most advanced power armor (X series) and weapons (lasers and plasma). |
