What's your opinion of the new fallout show?

I liked it! If you’re looking for something that harmonises really well with West Coast/New Vegas games you’re going to be disappointed, but honestly I was expecting worse. Has a lot of the same problems as Bethesda Fallout games in that it would probably work better set earlier - it’s strictly working within post-apocalyptic whereas west coast/new vegas stuff progressed from post-apoc to post-post-apoc.

That being said I think it also manages to play to a lot of Bethesda Fallout’s strengths (the Vault investigations were by far the highlight of the show, and also played to the writers’ strengths) and cuts down on some of the other bullshit. The ghoul concept was odd and just another contradictory image of ghouls on the one hand, but I also liked that the show depicted ferals with more pathos and sympathy than just “more baddies to shoot”.

I liked the characters overall, wish we got more of Moldaver though. Feels like there are a lot of dangling threads there though they might be developed more in a Season 2. Same with Dane’s character.

I’m going to be honest, while I don’t think it meshes well thematically with West Coast Fallout and especially New Vegas, I feel like some New Vegas fans are going a bit too conspiratorial with “Bethesda is trying to retcon New Vegas, Bethesda personally hates New Vegas and deliberately setting out to undermine it” kinda rhetoric. I feel like there were too many New Vegas references, especially at the end there, for that to be true, and I think that jokes aside the Todd Howard Is Out To Ruin Everything I Love thing can kinda end up overshadowing legitimate critique of how the show works within its setting.

#fallout tv series #ngl I think some of you are overestimating the amount of creative input Todd Howard had on this show #i think the influence of Bethesda fallout is strong and clashes with what Black Isle and obsidian were going for #but I also think ‘Bethesda has a personal vendetta against New Vegas’ is pushing it #‘trying to invoke this game without really engaging with its themes’ is way more likely to me

#fallout 4 #the one point I have to make is ‘what war crimes tribunal #I’m pretty sure the original Twitter post was just trolling but the thing is #given what we know of the pre war military and society #Nate really would have already been a war criminal anyway #good thing he’s just the guy who dies in the opening scene and not the protagonist or anything
