2026.

My God, I will have completely forgotten about this by the time it comes out again.

Yeah I wish it was like the old days where you had a season come out every year right around the same time. Now we have to wait at minimum 2 years if we're lucky and we're only getting 8-10 episodes, which drives me fucking crazy.

Digging this a ton. I just finished up the episode where
(*spoilered, just in case)

I started the original Fallout game and just didn't get into it. Probably have less than an hour of playtime wrapped into it, so I'm going into the show basically unspoiled with no idea what's to come. They've done a great job worldbuilding, and I dig the little nods to the game like the stimpak shot restoring health instantly (Lucy, the dog). They've even made the outro music seem creepy and foreboding somehow. And Walton Goggins is fantastic in this, as he is in about everything I've seen him in.

Just finished watching it a second time. Man they did such an amazing job with this show and the cast is about perfect. Still have a couple questions that I hope get answered in season 2.

This show was awesome. It really was such a perfect homage to the games.

My personal favorite was The Ghoul saying “Thou shalt get sidetracked by random bullshit every time”. So true and totally meta.

I also chuckled at Maximus telling Lucy anything could be in the medical research facility. That was always my first thought when entering a building. Am I dealing with ghouls, super mutants, synths, raiders, radroaches, mirelurks???

Norm hacking the Overseer terminal, Blamco Mac & Cheese, Sugar Bombs, radroaches, the Brotherhood, the Enclave, Radaway, Stimpaks, Abraxo Cleaner, Pip Boys, Super Duper Mart, Mr Handy, Red Rocket gas station, New Vegas.

It all seems small but important for the fan base.

When games screw up their launch (FO76, Cyberpunk, No Man's Sky, etc), I tune out. I'm not being stubborn or petty, I just don't have the wherewithal to circle back around for second chances, no matter how much they fix. There are too many other games to play.
[Reply]

I understand and I'm not pushing FO76 I played it a bit but i'm not much on any live service crap. I tolerate Division because it's amazing despite hating Ubisoft and the Live service garbage.

Is this worth watching if you’ve never played the game?
[Reply]

Yes. It will probably make you want to play them.

Think Skyrim but apocalyptic 50s.
[Reply]

Apparently so. I've seen plenty of glowing reviews begin with the words "I never played the games, but..."

And let's be honest here - while it's very well done and highly entertaining, it's still just a cartoonishly violent, sci-fi fantasy show. This shit ain't rocket science.

I would imagine I would like it had I never played the games, just not as much. I assume this will also inspire a lot of people who never played Fallout before to give it a go. Serious win-win for Bethesda.
[Reply]

Yes it is. I've never played the game but am seriously thinking about it after watching the series.
[Reply]

I have the original game somewhere; I remember playing it and thinking it was rather tedious. I'm more of a FPS and RTS player instead of the roll playing games.

I liked the series. A lot doesn't make sense because I don't know the background however the actors seem to be enjoying it.

I randomly ended up at the Fallout: NV launch party at the Palms after backpacking the Grand Canyon. Wayne Newton and Vamipre Weekend were there.

Serendipity!
