It's got the iconography and the aesthetics down pat. It's really worth it as a Fallout fan for that alone. For about an episode or two, anyway.
I'm finding the writing distractingly inconsistent, I outright dislike one of the main characters in a way that makes it hard to watch their scenes, and all of the thought provoking elements of Fallout lore is nudged out to explore Brotherhood and Enclave stuff again.
I would recommend it if you genuinely like Fallout. On it's own, I think it's a really, really messy show.
according to the show
four years before the events of new vegas
the BoS nuked shady sandsabsolutely ridiculous. if someone genuinely likes fallout they should not engage with a work so careless with the world.
It's fucking stupid because a post-post-apocalyptic city setting is excellent -- you could throw in parts of the show where the MC explores the wastes or something. It would give it more depth, but Bethesda loves an unrealistic, unchanging wasteland for some silly reason.
To be fair, Chairs Avellone (who wrote some of New Vegas's best stories) also wanted to reset the wasteland with nukes and tunnelers. It's not a bethesda-only thing.
Which is funny because that's just using the plot point of the Circle of Steel trying to do the same thing from Van Buren, which was already modified to them fighting a war with the NCR in New Vegas and blowing up their gold reserves
I get the whole ""guys in power armor" thing is cool, but for Christ's sake, do something else
New factions, new ideas please
Is it true that New Vegas is completely destroyed too? It would be hilarious if Todd was so salty that he just couldn't allow it to exist
hadn't heard that but i guess it could be even worse
I've heard that, too. Seen some screenshots. Not too happy. But I've resolved to actually watch it myself so I'm not mislead in any way. If its as lore breaking as it sounds I have no idea why they would write around the one part of the universe that lore nerds are obsessed with.
I'm on episode 2, at least, and it's good, so far.
I have a feeling it's going to be good, but I can already see some drawbacks.
Once you know the drawbacks, though, you know what to expect and keep your expectations in check.
