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...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Fallout 1 has a high quality plot? That's new.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, sex scene and sex jokes was a bit surprising, compared to how tame Bethesda games are on stuff like that. Well, at least the unmodded ones.

But didn't scare me away after first episode either. Looks promising.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I'm actually happy to hear that. I was afraid it would take too much inspiration from the Bethesda games, but sounds like maybe they looked more at Fallout 1 and 2, which would be just what I hoped they would.

I'm excited to give it a chance now.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The Ghoul definitely took the Bloody Mess perk! 😂

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

having sex in the communial wedding dress too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

At least within that context, the scene made sense.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Watched the first episode. Despite knowing every single person at that opening had to well...not do so well, the girl and her last line was heartbreaking

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only the first episode so far, I really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to seeing a Super Mutant at some point, I always love them in the games.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I'm curious if they will go with the mindless ogre version, or the smarter version.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Whoa this is awesome, thanks
