The Fallout Show Is Unbelievably GOOD

The Fallout Show has released and it is WAY better than anyone expected it to be! Who would have thought staying true to the source material could work out so well for a television adaption?? Anyways, here is why I loved the show! COME JOIN THE ACT CLAN DISCORD SERVER ➤ discord.gg/actman

I’m so happy that this show is getting the praise it deserves, because so many people in the community were hating on it before it even came out

patrolling the Mojave almost makes me wish for a nuclear winter

Not gonna lie, the main actor who plays Lucy would be an amazing role as Chell from Portal.

I was shocked by how good it was, and a lot of that was how brutal they depicted the fallout universe, they weren't scared to mention touchy subjects because it might offend people.

The only thing the show is missing is a Ron Perlman intro

Lucy's brother Norm is a very underrated character. His story of finding out the truth of Vault 31 was one of the show's highlights

I also love how Lucy's character development is done in such a way that you can almost tell exactly when she levels up.

Funny how bethesda actually puts actual care to stuff they know modders cant patch.

There was just an interview today where Todd Howard cleared up some of the lore confusion and confirmed that everything in the show including the shady sands destruction happened after New Vegas

I like how the 3 protagonists and a lot of the story-beats are classic Fallout: Lucy, the naive vault dweller who's in the wastes for the first time, looking for her dad (a la Fallout 3) Maximus who probably joined the BoS because he thought Power Armor was cool (lol) The Ghoul who is already experienced in the wasteland, and has unique motivations (a la New Vegas). And MY FAVORITE: Norm (Lucy's brother) finding out the history and true reason behind his vault.

I watched it with my mom and dad and explained stuff to them when needed. They loved it so much and I got to show my parents how much of a fallout nerd I was. 10/10 would recommend

The only thing they missed was having Dog Meat get in the way. 3 seconds of the ghoul trying to push his way past dog meat in a doorway, giving him a look like "little bastard" when he gets by. Don't even have him say anything, just add that little bit to a scene. It would have been great.

I thought the scene where Cooper starts tearing up after his wife say “we drop them ourselves” was just phenomenal. He’s such an amazing actor. Great scene, buildup, just chef’s kiss

Just seeing the clip of Ella Purnell talking about how she played the games to try to learn the source material, how she got really into the games and how important it was to her to respect the source material was what made me want to check out the show. We need more people like her and Henry Cavill.

My mom, who doesnt play any video games, wanted to watch this show with me and asked me all kinds of questions about the lore and prefaced it by telling me "keep it tame and dont nerd out on me too much, please". And as someone who doesnt play any video games, she thoroughly enjoyed this show and can't wait for season 2.

"It's not the first time I've been persecuted for my 'scientific curiosities'" is my fave joke of the whole season

the cogsworth scene got me really buzzing with using the actual voice actor and making them an actual person from the past, chefs kiss

I loved the checking the headless body with just the wanted picture of the head. "that's definitely him"

If you are interested in replaying the Fallout games I would strongly recommend looking up A Tale of Two Wastelands - it's a mod that combines Fallout 3 and New Vegas into a single game. You can travel between the two zones on a single character and play all the content of both of them whenever you want. Essentialy it ports all of Fallout 3 into New Vegas (I think you need to own both F3 and NV on the same platform for it to work but they are so cheap it barely matters nowadays) and introduces some new elements as well. Playing it is an actual blast. A nuclear blast.
