Fallout Amazon Series

I watched 5 episodes. I’ll watch the last tomorrow. I feel like Walton is about to go good and not be the heartless bad guy anymore. The Vaultech secrets are a very interesting little side story. I’m super happy to be able to watch all episodes quickly, but it does mean longer I have to wait for season 2. But I’ll watch it again and play through Fallout 4. Not sure if you guys saw but Fallout 4 is getting a free update that includes Enclave.

Really enjoyed 3 and 4 tonight, shorter episodes but packing in alot more useful story elements.
 
I watched the first 2 episodes thus afternoon. I had a few moments that caught me by surprise. After the wedding and bedding, the dude wipes his mini me on the curtain. Whoa.
I expect that from The Boys, not Fallout, but okay.
The female lead said something quickly I sort of missed, but something about screwing your cousin is fun and games, just can't settle in to a relationship and have a family.
Fun show.
 
 
I've watched the first 2 episodes and I'm really enjoying the show. I decided to only watch one per night, rather than binge watch it. So few enjoyable shows have come out recently, I want to extend the enjoyment.

I'll be a stick in the mud on this...In my opinion, the "bedding scene" was pretty uncalled for and I think was in there just to get peoples attention. "Lets throw a hot and heavy sex scene right at the beginning!" The character was shortly after killed off, there is no deeper relationship or complex reason to show "passion". It came across as totally gratuitous and served no real purpose to progress the story.

And to be clear, I have no real issue with sex scenes in shows >when they serve as an engine for moving the story along<.

Maybe I don't get intimately involved with the story, but still to this day I skip over every sex scene in shows/movies. Seems nearly all of them are uncalled for or atleast a modest fade out / scene transition would be sufficient. I don't really need softcore porn in order to advance a plot 🤨

Certainly could live without any male bareass shots that Amazon/netflix/hulu/Max are obsessed with.. guess I'm just happy with Fallout we aren't getting any full view male genital shots like with The Boys and a few other shows of recent have deemed necessary.
 
A lot of folks didn’t like the Maximus character. I didn’t see him as being too bad, and it is a bit of a tough role to play. I thought he did pretty good with the asshole knight scene.

The brief sex scene, I thought was more comical, even my wife chuckled at it. Wiping his Willy on the curtains, now that was unexpected. The gratuitous naked man shots, meh, pointless.
 
Watched E1 last night. Will watch E2 tonight. I know nothing about the game. Not a gamer. Like Walton whatever his last name is. Seen it spelled 3 different ways. Speaking of Boyd Crowder, Dewey Crow (Damon Harriman) is on a series called The Tourist.

Interesting element about Ghouls needing the mysterious medicine to keep from turning feral...Definitely never mentioned in game.

Theories are popping up that the medicine is actually just a local scam, some type of medication devolved to slow the mental deterioration process in ghouls, or a Vault-Tec pseudo-placebo science that's not actually doing anything but keeping their fortitude alive by giving them something to live for.

The games allud very little, but that the difference between not turning feral was a genetic wildcard, not inevitable without a specific anti-zombie drug.

But still, the medication for ghouls in the show is new to canon lore...seems more like a plot device to me to introduce the feral decline and showcase Roger from episode 4, which was a great sequence. Just strange to introduce a drug like that for the first time with very little information.

Definitely needs more explanation if its going to be a reoccurring theme...

If you're new on the PC PM me and I'll give you some newb gear.

But most of the high levels in the game are pretty friendly to newbs so random people will probably drop boxes on the ground near you. They'll have random goodies.

Oh, and PvP is disabled for low levels (you can disable it in options after that) so don't run when someone is trying to give you something. It used to annoy me when I'd try to give a newb something and they'd sprint off.

NCR vs. BOS battle was awesome. I’m stoked for season 2. I’ll have to rewatch this season since my kids watched part of it with me but I’ve watched a lot without them. I’ve not been this stoked for a TV show in a really long time.

They updated it a lot. It’s not as bad as it was at roll out. I bought it day one, played for a week then came back to it about a year ago and it was a different game.

I also pre-ordered and played day one, but I kept playing even when it was an almost empty game. The main nice thing back then was, hardly anyone had done the repeat grinds. so finding people to do quests and find power armor with was alot more fun.

Now you either go in with absolute noobs, or over powered players that just run through even the complex stuff like launching nukes lol.

I could never get enough of the isotopes from the nuke zones to build the good stuff. I don’t understand how folks did early on. And I wasn’t a weak character and could take down even the higher leveled scorch beasts alone with little to no trouble.

Best way for isotopes was either have a big enough group or get lucky finding a server filled with people trying to coordinate to farm and grind, so to run multiple Death From Above and Scorched Earth events in various locations at the same time and fast travel around...still a pain in the rear.

It definitely became an actual enjoyable game for people don't want to be on a full time grind once the Wastelanders and following updates started rolling out.

At it's core, it really is classic MMORPG, Always-Online-Always-Grind game, and the big grinds involve atleast a second player and alot of communication.

If you hated Runescape/WoW/ESO...you'll hate 76 once you've exhausted all the main/side quests and grow tired of Camp building and Power Armor stuff. Eventually, you'll really only have repeatable quests and daily events between season updates, so the grind only ends when you end it.

But there's been so many update events and people still run them for the event drops, starting fresh will keep you busy for a long time.
 
76 also has some of the best in game lore digging...history, cryptids, vaults, Enclave...if you follow guides you can uncover literal hours of holotapes, terminals, and locations filled with juicy lore.
 
Good to see some support for 76.

If anyone doesn't have amazon prime and wants a copy, PM me. I'll send you my free code. Hopefully it will work, it looks like PC and XBox only on the freebies.
 
When FO3 first came out there was a special edition box set with collectibles including a Pipboy. I was going to buy it and give my young son the Pipboy but kept putting it off until it was sold out and too late.

I don’t think he’s ever forgiven me.
 
Just finished the final episode, couldn't have enjoyed the story more from start to finish.

Season 2 won't be able to come along soon enough.

My only bitch about the season was the heavy handed “communism good, capitalism bad”.

Other than that, yeah it was the best thing I’ve seen in awhile.

Agreed, definitely smelled that with the cringe

“I’m not a communist. That’s just a dirty word they use to call people who aren’t insane." quote.

especially using the surviving NCR faction as the "not communist"-communist effort? Eyes rolling painfully with that.

Ah, but that was part of the social conditioning. Remember its 2077 (Oct 23rd, 2077 day of the Great War) and they’re in the midst of a 1950s social revival with near limitless nuclear power. I like to keep saying, it’s a second turning (e.g. 1960s society). It also helps set the stage for the fact that every vault is some sort of experiment, which they touched on in the late scene asking Lucy, “what’s your vault’s experiment?” Obviously theirs was to tie three vaults together and interact them somehow. In the games it could be anything from introducing low noise level signals that make everyone murderous to a society based on every outcome is random, e.g. and based on chance. My favorite was the idea of selling luxury accommodations to the Boston hioighety tightey that were sub optimal, like no private bathroom facilities except a curtain in a communal John,, giving them copious amounts of booze, and setting them up to complain to the overseer who was chosen for their anti authoritarian views by telling them to take a number (get 002) while serving #100.
 
Watched it all. I liked it. It didn’t try to change the stories, events, and understandings from the game (too much) and built on them to fill in some gaps with a little bit of creative ideas.

Anyone who ever played the games already knew that Vault-Tec wasn’t the hero company that helped saved lives but was a truly evil corporation. We now find out that they upped that benchmark a little bit with the episode 8 revelation.

Question:

How did Dr Wilzig happen to have the relic in his possession? Did the Enclave not realize what they had? They must have because they put a stop to all the research and bought out every company that ever touched it. Why not use it?

I have a feeling that the Enclave involvment will(should) come up again, either in season 2 or further along.

The Enclave is essentially the American deep state, former Vault-Tach members a big portion of The Enclave, there is rich lore out there for it, and really gets deep with The Fallout Bible lore...but as far as the ties with the show, they did leave much to be desired with explanation there.

Just a theory, but The Enclave and The Brotherhood are motral enemies, with the same mission...so now that BoS has the tech as of episode 8, realistically the only faction who can match them - will be The Enclave.
