Fallout : TV show
Discussion
I love how they took the time to show a Prydwen-class airship in Ep1. I mean, I am saying "Prydwen-class" as I am pretty sure it wasn't the actual Prydwen and I'm assuming the BoS have more than one.
Incidentally, I very nearly got a BoS tattoo when I played Fo3 and I am so glad I didn't as they are utter dicks in Fo4 and it seems Elder Lyons' Fo3 BoS were anomalies. Sadly.

I’m up to 5 and if I’d had more time I’d have watched it all. It’s excellent. I am reminded how good of an actor Walton Goggins is. For those who didn’t see it first time around, The Shield is an excellent American series about corrupt cops. Walton has a prominent role. Its ends in a definitive and satisfying way and for me, was a much better watch the Wire (tedious after the first season) or the massively overrated Mad Men.
The Shield gets little love, I suspect because many never saw it.

Much have been immensely expensive to make as the production values were so high. I have no idea how much was practical sets and how much was CGI, but either way it looked spot on.
$153 million. *Lots* of practical stuff, props, vehicles, aircraft, creatures, sets, plus they built their own Volume stage to add in backgrounds.
The Pip-Boys used a iPhone inside to make it work.

Funny you should say that but I spent a stupid amount of money on the Fallout 4 special edition that gave you a steel book copy of the game, a bobblehead, and an actual fking PipBoy into which you put your phone which ran an app to make it function like a PipBoy. It could even interact with the game. No, I am not joking
3 in, still loving it.
I assume later we're gonna learn about some of the shady vault-tec vault experiments. One my absolute favourite parts of playing NV was finding the vaults and then finding out what grim experiment was conducted on the inhabitants.
I hope for season 2 we get introduced to vault 108

I stuck this on the other night and it's great (Guardian liking it still surprising!)
Only got 40minutes into ep1 but the Mrs (who apparently hates Sci-fi) was totally engaged with it as well so we are now watching together. Hence why I'm only 40minutes into Ep1.
I've played FO4 but no others, I liked the way they are presenting the characters and the use of game mechanics especialy Lucy at the start, easy win on her not being called out as a Mary Sue.

Yep so did we!No, I am not joking
Also can’t believe how many people didn’t know PIP stands for personal information processor!
I put of watching this, I've only played Fallout once, I can't remember which one it was, but it was a nope from me.
My ADHD does not enjoy RPGs or indeed cutscenes.
Watched EP1 one last night and loved it. Not everything makes sense to me, but I guess that's as much about story telling as me getting distracted by a squirrel or something.

I binged it right through on release & thought it was absolutely brilliant. Would put it in my top series watched alongside, Sopranos & Chernobyl.
Its a bit of a masterpiece really, great production and tone. Its pretty much an 8 hour movie, so releasing it all at once was really well suited
I have only ever played a few hours of Fallout 4, so not really a previous fan. Although Ive now been playing Fallout 4 non stop since watching the series.

I think this was the best Game to TV Show I have ever seen. It just "pips" The Last of Us to me. A close battle but I think the nods to the games (Junk Jet, Hacking etc) push it into first place. Which amazes me as I really thought it would annoy me... But the Fallout humour has been well caught I think along with the difficulties of surviving etc..
One question, what is "the Ghoul" taking to stay non-feral? I don't recall that from the games at all (thinking of Underworld in F3 for example). I assumed it was Jet given the inhaler but still....... I guess that is a "TV extra" bit for interest?

Will I enjoy this if I've never played Fallout?
I played it for maybe 2 hours in total but got bored when I repeatedly got mauled to death by the same monster thing.I have no idea about the whole Fallout universe or any of the lore which goes with it.
I still enjoyed it.

If that is Fallout 4, you need to get the core for the power armour that is on the roof then use it to kill the deathclaw - you can hide in a building so it can't get in and shoot him...I have no idea about the whole Fallout universe or any of the lore which goes with it.
