Just finished binging the Fallout show, would recommend

How in the fuck...

I only watched the first ep but I really liked it. I do hate how gory television is these days.

Silly, over the top gore is a core part of Fallout. Every game after two has a perk called "Bloody Mess" that increases the chance of enemies just turning into a pile of flesh when killed
- The perk is a nod to 1 and 2 where people just exploded into a pile.
- The originals had it as a trait that you picked at character creation.
- 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.
  My comment from another post
Just turn off the bloody-mess perk
It's set in a post-apocalyptic world, I would hate if it was pg
- Its not just Fallout, I feel like shows in general are a lot more gory now. I enjoy fantasy and sci-fi stories and I love the games, but I also have had to be revived with smelling salts when I saw an incision IRL. I just wish I had a setting to not have to see that boot scene in 4k.
I also only had time for one episode so far but I dug it. Felt like they really nailed the vibe. I am loving our three main characters too.
I’m not a huge fan of gore but the violence here felt on par with the game and a little bit slapstick in a way that for me made it less gross and more silly.
I’m excited to watch more soon!

It's cursed, it has all of the wierd Bethesda East Coast lore, tone, atmosphere, writing, and style, but on the West Coast, and does the West Coast factions dirty.

It also canonized some absolute bullshit, but this isn't a spoiler thread, is it?

I knew Bethesda would one day come for the West Coast canon.
Oh, well. At least we won't have to argue with a new generation of nerds who missed all the points and blatantly support the fascist factions.

Amazing season. The only thing holding it back (and the only reason I might hold back on hyping a season 2) is the fact that New Vegas isn't canon anymore. What the fuck guys.

What do you mean NV isn't Canon anymore? >!The show takes place 15 years after the game, plenty could have happened since then!<

They decanonized FNV by having BoS nuke the dam at the First Battle of Hoover Dam. Cannot recommend; I refuse to recognize this timeline. Even FO4 recognizes some vestiges of FNV.

Just finished the first episode and I’m excited. Wife wanted to stop for the evening so I’ll have to wait until tomorrow but man I can’t wait to watch more this weekend. I especially liked the Brotherhood of Steal scene.

Edit: Brotherhood of Steel

What does the brotherhood steal? 🤣

They make a TV show out of everything nowadays, don't they?

Your spoiler for the signature is broken BTW.
- Which client are you using? This is what it looks like for me on programming.dev
- I'm not so sure about it being a safe bet. There have been a few good adaptations, but in general I'm very cautious and expect the worst because there has just been so much more garbage that completely ignored everything that made the games great.
- Of course. It's just unoriginal. But that's fine. I don't have to watch it.
