i enjoyed it for what it was, not enough jokes and not enough combat or vats references and luck based shit or random encounters, but , it was good quality and made with love
i really dislike they didnt show any people entering any of the the vaults during apocalypse scene ...
It didn't make my cock explode, but it was pretty good
It seems to draw more from FO4 than anything, which is a shame considering other games excel in certain aspects, but it surpasses most other video game shows. It's filled with game references and stays faithful overall.
One thing I didn't expect were sex scenes, boobs and some of the dialogue. Those didn't feel very Bethesdary! Things like that would go a long way to making their games more gritty and less PG-feeling when it comes to story and characters.
And having a leading lady who respects the lore, is attractive and good at acting certainly doesn't hurt. You can only imagine how this would have turned out if it had a Netflix logo on it.
Oh god, the dialogue on those stills was real
Guess I got to:
1 - Install FO4 and use some wabbajack/fallout4experiences pack before the update that will fuck everything up
and
2 - DL this and check it out

Enjoyed it - it wasn't your typical streaming studio trash, largely due to the fact that they tried their best to keep to the aesthetics and lore of the source material. Goggin's was badass, say what you will, the dude makes a great villain.
Having said that - I've played all the games, but never delved too deeply into the source material with regards to the timeline prior to the events in the games.
Specifically, where did the Fallout timeline start to divert from our actual one? We got nuclear power on steroids obviously, so some time during WW2'ish I'm guessing? Was the civil rights movement not a thing on the Fallout timeline, or was that part just Hollywood shenanigans?
Completely and utterly uninteresting main cast. Especially the black guy. Dumb as a brick and the chick is just weird. What a mash. Goggin was the only one i really liked that was present more or less from start til the end.
And amazon, fuck off with every god damn couple being interracial.

I enjoyed Goggin's as well as the main character (she fits the naive vault dweller stereotype to a T).
As for the rest of it - they gotta check the boxes, otherwise it doesn't get funded/made.
They waited a whole thirty minutes to introduce the tranny, gave Goggin's a black wife (in 1950s America ) , and made the main character's mom a closeted lesbian. Thankfully, they had the sense not to beat the viewer over the head with it too much, unlike most of the streaming made shows.
PC bullshit aside, still enjoyed it and looking forward to Season 2, if for nothing else than the setting its going to be in and seeing what happens to the ghoul!
couldn't care less about that, some random character who's in it for 1 minute in total maybe and the sexuality or anything like that wasn't a topic. it's not a woke show (this can absolutely change).
It is a non-binary character. It doesn't matter much if you watched in english but in polish the actor used genderless form of referencing to itself and it was funny because it was very out of place.
EDIT: I laughed because I'm a bigot!

I mean, with vaults the interracial couples make more sense , no? But there's a troon in the BoS, forreal? Even Veronica in FONV caught some shit for being a lesbian and thus unable to, ahem, contribute to the BoS future. I'd imagine a troon/xher/whatever would be told to fuck off but here we are
Where will the plaques with the pronouns be on the power armour tho?

i didnt find believable that a ruthless leader refered to the person as they or them when he was confronting maximus in the first ep, just not a person who wouldnt hurt someones feelings, but it was more not believable to the concept of non binary persons in a post apocalyptic world. were they a thing before the bombs? still it was a brief moment but at the same time smells of "modern things" movies need to include these days that for 5 seconds took me out of it

It is a female though. Strapping your already tiny boobs flat, cutting your hair short and trying to speak like a man does not change that

Sure it is woke. Just not preachy woke, which is bearable.
You missed the part where the alternate reality is very... alternate?
But it needs to be suspension of disbelief fiction.
- Fantasy alternate universe of wandavision where a woman has an alien husband in 1950s? That's ok.
- Fantasy alternate universe of Fallout where a man has a black wife in 1950s? Ok, that's just ridiculous of an alternate fantasy timeline, and stretching suspension of disbelief too far.
It's never stated the pre-war stuff takes place in the 1950s. In fact, after the intro part in ep 1, it continues '219 years later'. And later on, it's established the 'current' year is around 2295(-ish), which would situate the pre-war era in the 2070s.
The numbers don't decide, the system is a lie. The river running dry, the wings of butterflies.
And you may pour us away like soup. Like we're pretty broken flowers.
We'll take back what is ours. One day at a time.
Despite some excessively cartoon-like sequences even for the series' standards, occasional daft plot devices, nulore-isms, fast_travel=on sessions and physics that are every bit as wonky as Gamebryo's, it was indeed a fairly entertaining watch all things considered.
The main quest is strongly Bethesda-esque, however, it does have more soul than Todd & Pagliaman's masderpieces - which is not saying much since they're about as empty as a feral Ghoul, but still. Indubitably a much more dignified representation of the subject matter than the Power Ringers tragedy, hoping that the next season(s) won't make things exponentially worse like it happened to the poor Geraltflix. I liked that the show doesn't shy away from displaying splatter-y bits and dark humour, complemented by the acting (with Goggins easily being the most interesting character) and all the positive fan service. It's not the ideal Fallout that I wanted, but okey-dokey-ish /10 in the cursed context of this day and age. The near-zero expectations played a big role, too.
It’s official, Amazon Prime Video has renewed its sci-fi action-comedy “Fallout” for a second season – the order coming in one week after the first season launched in full last week.
You missed the part where the alternate reality is very... alternate?
I mean, it didn't seem to be that alternate.
It's very evident, both from the flashback sequences in the show (before the bombs fell), as well as from playing Fallout 4 (before it all goes to hell) that the alternate reality depicted shows idyllic 1950's post WW2 America.
The obvious differences being that after WW2 this alternate version of the timeline has us get nuclear power and robotics on steroids. The TV's, color schemes, architecture, stoves - it's all 1950's Americana.
If post WW2 is where the timelines diverge, it's not a huge stretch to say that the pre-nuclear war family dynamic depicted would not have been a thing - especially in the upper echelon's of super rich society.
But, as I stated a post or so back, I was never super knowledgeable of the pre-vault lore of the Fallout universe, so I don't know how their timeline differs from ours going further back.
