Looks like all the other threads went to archive. Season drops tomorrow at 6pm PST. I'm sure it'll have some shit that annoys me, but I'm looking forward to checking it out.

Not a gamer. Didn't even know Fallout existed before I saw this thread and decided to give it a try.  It's been pretty good but a lot of it does not make sense. I accept that because I never played the game so I expect some of the episodes to not make sense to me, which is OK.

Overall, pretty good.

geez, I had to try real hard just to get through the first HOD episode it sucked so bad.


I didn't realize this was a continuation after the last games. Makes more sense that the BOS were not what they used to be. I sort leaned toward liking them. Tended to play as a tank. Didn't play the games a lot, more just hanging out with my kids as they played but I did play enough to understand some of the story line.

I always like this dystopian kind of story line so I hoped they wouldn't wokify this show. Which they are doing. Sorry but in the apocalypse when survival is the main goal, there would be no room for trannies and lesbians.

You were supposed to be able to marry (and then sleep with) Cass, with the King performing the ceremony. They even licensed an Elvis song for the scene, but it didn't make it into the game. She just says no when you try to hit on her.

I can't wait. My son watched all 8 with me (my second time through now) he's never been a Fallout fan, and he is already ready for season 2.

I'm a big time Fallout player and really looked forward to this series and they did not disappoint.

Some of the negative -

- CGI cyclops overseer in Vault 4 was not well done, probably should have used a prosthetic instead.
- If Dane didn't have a slight mustache I don't think anyone would be talking about it.
- Kinda dragged at times.
- Maybe a little too much pre-war backstory, could have been condensed and used the time for more wasteland exposition.
- I did think they overused the desert sand buildings set too much.
- Not sure I like the actor playing Maximus. I don't know, I think a different actor could have made the role a bit more likeable and compelling.
- A bit overused the religious angle to BoS, never felt that in the game.

The positives-

- Absolutely nailed the visuals.  Pretty much everything looked like the game.
- Plenty of humor, some laugh out loud.
- Totally nailed the Vertibirds.
- Mostly nailed the BoS uniform and power armor.
- Great story line
- Final episode closed a lot of story lines but left a huge opportunity for a Season 2.
- Dude wiping his dick on the curtains cracked me up.

Overall I give it a 9/10.

Any one want to bet they change the lore from China attacking the US to Russia. Noticed the CCCP on the downed sat when they behead the Dr. I have a feeling they will pull a Red Dawn and not allow China to be cast in a bad light since MGM is tied in with the show

Honestly, a solid 4.5/5 for me. Maybe some minor niggles here and there in the moment, but with only 8 episodes I think they did pretty solid job with the story, characters, setting, atmosphere and the bits and bobs.

It was a new and interesting way to experience Fallout, because to me it felt kinda like multiple concurrent playthroughs that had different starts, but all meandering to the same destination. The character dialogue felt like a mix of quest log exposition, lore logs, standard in game convos and even what you might have been saying to yourself, if you were playing the game and were in that situation.

That said, this is from someone that only has around 500 hours in the Fallout franchise. If this was an Elder Scrolls series...I've spent several thousand hours in 3-5.

I think most of it was to build out character development of The Ghoul since he wasn’t in the games. Probably not coincidence that he was my favorite character in the show considering.

They're obviously making fun of everything, from commies to capitalists to techno-optimists to everything boomers hold dear about the childhoods they spent watching TV while the world went full mutually assured destruction...

Just like the games.

I didn't care about the butch chick who mutilated herself to avoid her duty, how the fuck is that a positive portrayal to get worked up over?

They should have spent the CGI money on a supermutant or two instead of the gulpers. They cracked me up in-game.

Makes me want to go back and play FO3 or NV.

The Soviet Union still existed in the Fallout universe, they and the US largely ignored each other. We were already in a hot war with China when it escalated to a nuclear exchange. In lore, the US had invaded Mainland China and was on the verge of taking Beijing when the birds went up.

While they weren't shoving the woke down your throat with some trany character, or a gay couple sex scene, etc. like a Netflix show would have the signs of wokeness were simply more subtle but were still very prevalent...for example, pretty much every straight white male character with (speaking lines) is either evil, an asshole, a coward, a tyrant, etc. First BoS Knight we see (Titus) is total a-hole, leader of the BoS is evil/manipulative, Maximus' squire is a little weasel, the Vault 33 overseer is evil/manipulative, the white guys in Vault 33 like Chet (spineless white guy who ends up with the pregnant widow) and Davey (old guy who tells the fat black guy he isn't voting for him) are all losers, all the CEOs at the secret meeting in the episode 8 are mostly white men, etc. etc. while all the "heroes" in the show are females, PoCs, etc. (Lucy, Maximus, Lucy's brother, Moldaver, etc.). So straight white male = negative attributes, female or PoC = positive attributes is the theme of the show's characters.

Only watched the first episode so far. A bit surprised at how it isn't a total disaster of a show.

Now I want to play Fallout. Last one I played was Fallout 4 when it came out, and I never beat it. I do still have my Pip-boy from the collector's edition. I wonder if it's going to go up in value from the show

You are forgetting the Enclave scientist with the dog who defects, he is not a coward or a loser. He willingly sacrifices himself so the fusion energy project can get out.

It can be argued Cooper (The Ghoul) is an antihero character. He starts as an antagonist, but becomes a protagonist at the end.

It could also be argued that Norm (Chicken boy troglodyte brother) starts out a coward but finds his guts and determination to investigate the vaults and go to both Vault 32 and 31 on his own volition.

You could even say that Overseer Cyrill Figgis cyclops of Vault 4 is a decent guy who comes off as goofy, but is altruistic and only wants the best for his vault and his people. He won't even kill Lucy, and is  going to give her supplies to leave.

As for Maximus, he is anything but a hero. The guy fails upwards the entire show, he is just as incompetent as his fellow BoS squires (he loses pretty much every fight he gets into and has this almost retard level childlike understanding of the world), and he more or less manipulates everyone into a beneficial outcome for himself through treachery or deception.

Then there are all the various other minority characters that are presented as incompetent, naive, or just plain dumb. Woody (the inexplicably fat Vault 33 councilman) is a coward who tries to refuse transfer to Vault 32 and an idiot. Dane (the he she BoS member) turns out to be a self-harming coward too scared to go into the wilds. Betty (the new Vault 33 Overseer) is a VaultTec stooge and is arguably malevolent.

As others have said in this thread, you tend to only see what you want to see. I feel this show doesn't present any one race or gender as being somehow superior or better than anyone else. The inhabitants of the wasteland run the gamut from noble to evil, smart to foolish, and they come in every color, size, and gender.

Saw the first episode. To be honest, it's not as captivating me as I would have thought.  It's pretty good, but the raiders/violence and all was a bit much.

The wokeness is there, but not so bad as some act.  The diversity checkbox is obviously forced.   the Tranny is barely noticeable - and honestly I'm not all that bothered by a chich trying to make it in a man's world (Brotherhood of Steel) by acting like a dude.  Mostly I don't even notice her.  Though you'd think the Brotherhood could have just given her a Stim shot.  Perhaps explained later - I get the impression her injury was a swt-up by leadership on purpose.

I suspect they are going to overplay the tired themes of :
-All bad people are white males (the white dude punching out the black dude going to the shelter, was a bit much)
-there are no good guys and even the good guys are really bad guys with a super complex evil scheme.

Its OK, the wokeness is far less than most shows these days, but there is some.  The more sensitive to it you are and the harder you look for it, the more you will see I suppose, but it didn't bother me that much.

I don't really buy the premise that they couldn't sniff out Raiders, but sure.

I guess we'll see what episode 2 is like - I didn't Bing watch, but went and paid bills after episode 1 was done.
