They also know who the vault dwellers are, and know of VaultTec... but do the denizens of the wasteland know VaultTec still exists as a faction? Really the only people who know that VaultTec still exists, let alone planned everything, can be counted on one hand (who are still alive). |

I have played through all the PC games except 4 multiple times. Due to travel and follow-on illness, I didn't get a chance to watch the first episode until last night. I thought the tone, costumes and sets were all perfect. Very much looking forward to more!

Does anyone know if the old CD versions of Fallout 1 and 2 work in newer computers? It's been years since I've played, wondering if they work on newer computers. Seems like I had trouble loading one of them about 8 or so years ago on a new computer.

Did you guys ever play through the games? The reason this show is doing so well, is because they did a very good job of recreating the feeling of the games, with most of the inspiration obviously being drawn from Fallout 4. The first game was from the mid 90's and had a trans mutant, and there's plenty of gay romance options in all the games. |

Why would grade school kids be watching it? It has an adult rating. A large chunk of the games is dialog, you can spend hours just searching through computer logs for obscure data. I find it interesting when people that aren't familiar with the source material critique shows or movies. Most of the time they fuck it up by not getting it right. This time they pretty much nailed and there's still people upset about it. |
