Goggins' acting was incredible. But none of that made sense. First off, so his wife is the CEO? Why is she leading the meeting, the entire show you get the impression she's a upper middle management and now she's leading the meeting with the competitors? Vault Tec's goal is a total monopoly, wipe every government, group, faction, company out and control everything. So obviously the smartest thing to do is let all your competitors know. They're not even offering a merger or a union. The other companies might help building vaults or technology but they get their own vaults, can choose their own experiments and keep their own secrets. Which defeats the entire point of dropping the nukes to wipe out all factions.

what "sidetracks"? All the fun little things and the lore is what makes Fallout special. Now we already know who is Mr. House next season.
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.

What really got me to watch this show, is the actress of Lucy (also the voice actress of Jinx from League of Legends and Arcane), going on the record about playing countless hours of Fallout games to understand the feel the source material and better respect it. What sold it even more for me, was mainstream media outlets criticizing her for "wasting time playing videogames". And in reality, that dedication, is what makes her role feel so authentic. So in universe. So immersive. Not only for fans of the fallout IP, but for anyone who gets into the IP from the series.

Can I just say this is not only a great video game show but a great show in general. I recommended this show to my parents who have only heard of the games through my siblings and I and they loved the show and the characters. They understood the story clear as day and wanted more. That is a show done right.
I loved how the show on its own explains the world in a such compelling way for newcomers while keeping fans invested to see how each element will work into the story. I would LOVE to have watched this with someone who has never played these games before and watch them marvel at just how fun the Fallout world is.
I love how Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins had two opposite approaches to their roles. Ella thought it important to play the games to get familiar with the source material so they can be consistent with it, and Walton thought he had to actively avoid playing the games so there could be someone on set who could give a perspective of a casual viewer unfamiliar with the source material.

I love Lucy's brother Norm. He doesn't buy into the culture of the vault he was raised in but at the same time isn't a complete jerk about it. I get the feeling that he is way smarter than most people in the vault give him credit for considering all the different jobs he was able to do. He wasn't moved around because he preformed badly but because he wasn't "happy" in the position. I think he also has the Small Frame perk from New Vegas. This would give him higher agility which explains how he was able to evade the Raiders long enough for Lucy to hide him and the comedic seen with Robo Bud. My favorite scene doesn't have anything to do with Norm however. When Lucy gets caught out of bounds in Vault 4 and she is put on trial... the whole thing just made me bust out laughing. Especially, when she had negotiated to have Maximus stay and he just rages in like the Hulk to save her... that whole scene from the bag over her head down the corridor to when she convinces Maximus to give the fusion core back is all sorts of EPIC!
The final shot was insane…paused my TV and gawked for a good minute or so 😂 Also, the helldivers add in had me cackling! 🤣🤣🤣
When Lucy unwittingly sets the ferals loose in the chem shop, gets that experience boost to level up and comes out in the armored vault suit. Thats when i knew it was gonna be good!

I was just gonna watch the first episode the other day and then ended up watching it all that day lol. I loved it! I think they did a very good job of giving you that feeling when you first play one of the games. One thing I liked, was I think a couple times they showed the skeletons in ways telling the story about how the people died and I loved that in the games. Great video as always!

It was so good, I got excited at every little reference they put in, every sting of game music. I can't wait for next season.

My favorite character is Lucy. Her overly optimistic and positive attitude is slowly being replaced by a more cynical and downbeat version. I love the difference between her first "okey dokey" and her last one in the final episode. She also has some other very fun quotes, but unlike modern day MCU, the humor doesn't undercut any tension. When she is in the final big confrontation where she learns the truth about her father and mother, she is not making jokes anymore. The Ghoul and Maximus are also very good and interesting characters that I want to see more of. I also liked Thaddeus and hope we get to see his journey into becoming a ghoul.
