Seriously! So many terrible adaptations. It’s refreshing to see really good shows based on games. It also doesn’t hurt that shows like “The Last of Us” and “Fallout” are based on story driven games so there is already a lot of good story to build off.
Fallout, the game series, is way better at lore than story, in my opinion, and that’s what makes it such a great setting for well-written stories like this adaptation. They can literally 1:1 all of the visual assets and pull from a well developed cultural and geo-political landscape, and yet there isn’t any specific character that they really have to ‘get right’, other than, like, Mr. Handy. That’s a huge advantage for a good creative team.
Yeah Fallout is more of a setting than anything, and that’s why it’s perfect for an adaptation like this. It benefited great from the fact that they didn’t really have to adapt any characters or any single storyline, but simply created a new story and characters in that world and it still be a faithful adaptation
It’s a good adaptation, but not necessarily a faithful one (though, frankly, I’m not deep enough into the lore to tell, or care).
Looks like New Vegas might show up in season two, so we’ll see if and how they make the timelines fit (though if they do it’ll have to be a pretty tight fit, seems like).

Cue Shady Sands controversy.

Excuse you. If they get Fisto wrong I will riot.
