Fallout Wiki page

I’d never seen this before, and its fun to get an inside look into the early lore. They talk about playing pen and paper Fallout to test new perks, I wish I could go back in time and join those games.

    Did you get a chance to watch the show on Amazon yet? The kids and I watched the first two episodes last night. So far, it feels like Fallout, and I am not disappointed!

      I was laughing at all the YouTube videos last month “this is why the fallout show will suck!”. People are such haters. It’s not like the fallout games were known for their Oscar winning dialogue and plot, so as soon as I saw that the show has the exact same aesthetic I knew they could pull it off. I liked the first episode i saw.

      Glad I didn’t watch with my kids though lol that sex scene came out of nowhere, but the gore I was happy about. Cause the games are pretty damn gory.

        Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas are well known for high quality dialogue and plot. The Bethesda games on the other hand…

          Nobody remembers fallout 1 and 2. If it wasn’t for Bethesda, fallout would be a dead series nobody remembers. The only reason fallout is relevant and even has a tv is because of Bethesda buying it. It’s their series now, and their interpretation of it is the only one that matters.

            I don’t see how those games being less remembered discredits the fact they had solid writing and plot.

            Popularity contest does not correlate with high quality.

              I’m responding to people complaining that the show is more like bathesda fallout than the first 2 games. I’m explaining why. Because popularity and mainstream appeal. I’m sorry you don’t like facts

              Pre bathesda- 750k copies of fallout 1 and 2 combined sold.

              Post bathesda- 50 million copies of fallout 3,nv, and 4 combined sold.

              I mean if those numbers don’t say it for you, I don’t know what will.

            Plenty of people remember and adore the first two games, and even tactics. Bethesda’s version of Fallout is great, and so are the originals. Get over yourself.

              Like I mentioned to someone else, fallout 1 and 2 sold 750k copies combined.

              Fallout 3, nv and 4 sold 50 million copies combined.

              I’m responding to people shitting on Bethesda’s version of fallout and wishing the show was more like the first two games, and I’m responding with “most people don’t know the first two games, Bethesda fallout is The mainstream”. Am I wrong?

        I didn’t realize there would be sex scenes in it. Glad to know before I started watching. I miss the days when it was pretty safe to watch anything. I wish all these producers would realize that some people have families and that we don’t need sex scenes and nudity in everything.

          The only nudity is a male butt, but there is no question that they are having sex. I was comfortable with my 15&16yo teenagers watching it, but might be awkward with middle schoolers.

        Mine are teenagers, and that sex scene made me a little nervous at first, but I’m glad they didn’t make it very graphic.

        Gore in games always bothers me less, it feels more cartoony. I’m not asking for them to take it out, but I would like a “for babies” mode that blurs it. I felt a little sick to my stomach at a few points.
