Amazon Studios to develop series based on Fallout

[Mega Black]

Which sucks because I legit enjoy Fallout 3, it might legit be the only Bethesda Fallout I feel this way to.

Fallout 3 is genuinely great. It isn't as deep as New Vegas and has lots of problems, but faggots like Mr B. Tongue ruined the discussion and creation of Bethesda's games with faggot semantic nerd shit like "what do they eat?" As if that was ever a problem anyone actually cared about.

For the first couple of episodes it feels a little "netflix'd" but that feeling subsides

The more The Ghoul is present the better the show is. The less he is around the worse each episode becomes, since Lucy and Maximus are terrible characters and ludicrously incapable, as well as being incredibly soft hearted and Marvely.

Give me a whole show where a badass wild west gunslinger in the atomic wasteland tears shit up and I would watch that in a heartbeat.

Considering how far down Fallout 1/2/NV fanboys have to dig to get to the point where that sort of thing is a gotcha that "proves" Fallout 3 is bad, really in my opinion just shows that Fallout 3 is actually a great game.

The general 'feel' is fine but the motivations of every single fucking character are beyond retarded. Unironically making it a faithful adaption of the Fallout 4 universe.

I really want to know Lucy's motivation for saving Cooper with the vials considering that up until that moment he's shot at her (deflected by niggerknight), used her as bait, effectively enslaved her, cut her finger off and ultimately sent her off to be harvested for organs.

I want to know how niggerknight keeps getting away with everything when the Brotherhood of Steel is unironically grimdark and would cremate a squire alive for talking back to someone. I genuinely thought they'd done something daring in the final episode and killed him off before plot armour brings him back to life.

I also want to know exactly why the writers thought it was a good idea to have Ghoul start off buried alive and kept alive through the vials in a bag. For someone dug up every few years and have bits cut off him you'd expect him to look more disgusting than actor without a nose, bad teeth and a tan. Literally nothing other than "badass opening scene" and "throw him in the direction of the story mcguffin".

I've even given up trying to comprehend the retarded nature of the initial wedding with all the pieces put together. Hell I'm even struggling to understand the nature of the three way vault system. First I thought I was too tired to put the pieces together, on retrospect it's obvious they were making shit up as they went along. The best I can come up with is that every 3 years they take a few folk out of being frozen, distribute them to the first vault by saying they came from the other vault and then cull anyone who goes to the second vault. But that makes no sense as the pregnant person seems to have also came out of cryogenic storage so would know this and know that it's a death sentence.

Overall a 6/10 and tbh I equate it to Dark Knight Syndrome of having the plot fly by at such a blistering pace to prevent you from independently thinking for a single second. Probably why it was dumped in one go on Prime so people could bingewatch it all in one go without having a week to dwell on an episode, realise it fucking sucks and that's the end of that.

Not only did you not understand storytelling, you don't even understand lore.

Van Buren was never made. It never happened. Saying it's important to the show is like saying Neil Blomkamp's unmade Aliens sequel is important to the Alien series.

You're using an unmade, non-canon story to justify bad writing. Fuck off.

I'm not trying to convince anyone the show was good. As far as I'm concerned, a show is good if you're entertained, it's bad if you're not, and you can't convince anyone to be entertained by something retroactively.

What's wild to me is that so many people are upset about the show breaking canon or tone from the games, or specifically blaming Bethesda. Van Buren isn't relevant from the canon perspective, because it's not canon. It is the original plan by the original developers for the sequel for 2, though. If you're upset that Shady Sands got nuked, that's fine, but that doesn't have anything to do with Bethesda or Todd interfering due to a grudge because it wasn't a Bethesda idea: They robbed it from the original developers. If the reason you hate the show is because it tramples the lore somehow, or is bad story telling, than you would have also hated a non-Bethesda Fallout 3 because the same exact thing would have happened.

Van Buren isn't lore, but it's evidence that the problem you guys have isn't what you're saying it is. Maybe you really would have hated Van Buren if it came out, but if that's the case it's wierd that you're screeching about it being Bethesda or Todd's fault. It makes it seem like you decided that it was bad because Bethesda was involved, then intentionally misread chalkboards and billboards because you were looking for an error that wasn't there to justify your position.

Actually you know what, the more I think about it the worse it gets.

• I completely forgot about the "You are a gentleman and a scholar" guy who immediately made me want to tap out.
• I forgot about the pooner who is distractingly uncomfortable in every fucking scene. Also check how she looks at niggerknight when he tells her he's found someone special elsewhere, she looks crushed so unfortunately looks like a love triangle storyline is forming.
• I forgot about the implied lesbian romance between Lucy's mother and Mulwhatever.

Also found it funny how the replaced squire was categorically in the right and the only reason he's seen as a bad guy is because he was trying to turn the protagonist in for something horrible the protagonist did.

Bonus points for managing to fuck up the constancy of the lore between two things that happened in the same fucking show: replaced squire can heal a hideously mangled foot and heal internal bleeding through being ghoulified but The Ghoul needs to have his finger sewn back on for... reasons?

Then why do you keep arguing and telling people they're wrong?

Van Buren doesn't exist and has nothing to do with why I hate this show. Telling me I have to like this show because of an unmade game is fucking retarded.

Because they are?

 

[IDanceonTrannyGraves]

No, they aren't. You're just a butthurt fanboy who can't handle everyone not gushing over something that is objectively bad. Now fuck off back to Reddit or Amazon or whomever you're shilling for.

No, I can't handle people screeching about how the show rapes the lore because you retards don't know how to read.

So you are right and *everyone* else is wrong.

Sure, you autistic fuckwit.

My big gripe with Fallout 3 is the story. I do enjoy the world and the atmosphere when you're just running around exploring, but there's something about the main plot that pisses me off.

Now with this Amazon show I've seen maybe 1 minute of it so far, and that's probably about all I'll ever see. Even if it's the best show ever I don't really care because that's not what I want out of Fallout. I want to play Fallout, they're video games. I don't want to watch it.

No, I can't handle people screeching about how the show rapes the lore because you retards don't know how to read.

Whatever you say Todd.

We know how to read, and also how not to swallow bullshit.

Yesterday I was messaging with my sister, I asked her what she thinks of Amazon Fallout.
"They're making a mishmash between 3 and 4," was the first thing she told me. I I had no idea because I just played New Vegas, even though I didn't manage to finish it before my ps3 died, but I really enjoyed it, so I'm pretty bummed they chose this "civilization can't progress even after two centuries" approach. Probably trying to give people a "The Walking Dead" feel that feels completely off in a franchise that takes place two centuries after a catastrophe. I decided to consider this adaptation some kind of alternate universe with zero ties with the games, and to watch it turning my brain off.

Just a question, tho: on the series Wikipedia page the pooner is listed as a main character. I'm at episode 5 and she had just a few scenes in episode 1, why the fuck is she a main? If we count the number of scenes, the actress playing the new overseer of vault 33 should be a main too, since she has more scenes and a more important role. Also, is the pooner supposed to play a man? In my language she has a female voice actor.

Predictions for season 2:
NCR will have a major presence

Optimistic. NCR seems pretty ramshackle in Season 1.

It will be stated clearly that the war was not actually started by Vault-Tech, probably it'll be presented as a plot twist

Tim Cain agrees with you. There’s a couple things in Season 1 indicating that this is the case.

It will be stated clearly that the nuke happened after 2277.
We will see or hear about the new NCR capitol, probably the hoover dam

They better deal with that.

We will see or hear about the Legion in some form (my guess is they merged with the BoS)

This seems likely, especially having watched all of the J&L Nolan‘s Westworld travesty. There’s too many red flags, figuratively & literally. The older ones in Baby Denzel’s chapter are probably ex-Legion that worked their way into the graces of stronger BoS chapters with a convincing impersonation. Their elder is maybe even frumentari, like Vulpes. He even referred to them as “the knights of this legion”. They practically slap you in the eyes with those vexilla when they’re leaving to get the artifact from NCR lady. They just replaced the gold bull with some gold BoS iconography.

Everyone in this thread will say that it's backpedaling
The show will make a joke ripped directly from New Vegas and people in this thread will say the joke is to wacky for Fallout
Everyone in this thread will bitch about plot points that they didn't understand and say that they ruined the lore

I don’t think it’ll be backpedaling, it’s structured that way. It may well turn out completely shit like when they did it in Westworld, but it‘s purposeful.

The biggest area of sabotage with Amz Fallout (and 95% of all Amazon shows) is the DEI bullshit, particulary behind the cameras. Look at the writers & directors of the worst episodes in it & you‘ll find diversity hires who failed upwards, with trash like GoT S8, Rangz of Powah & Wheel of Time under their belts. Look at the writer/director of best ep (4) & compare their body of work to the worst ones, 7&8. It’s not merit based, they hand positions to intersectional checkboxes regardless of their track record, and 9/10 times they produce shit because there’s no consequences for failure.

A SWM writer would never be able to sleepwalk into a $150M project with 3 or 4 projects in their portfolio, all of them fails or student films. They hire too many unqualified writers and bloat their writing rooms. That’s why Fallout’s season finale had horseshit like a shareholder meeting that demolishes NV characters House & Sinclair. This was one of the things these WGA shitbirds were striking over, the studios wanted to trim their writing rooms. Nobody needs 12 staff writers for one show, especially not when they rarely exceed 10 eps a season.

She's in two episodes total iirc, and is referred to as "they" once. I didn't realize there was gender weirdness with her until I read this thread and rewatched to pay attention to pronouns. It feels like they were forced to put in a troon for DEI reasons and the people making the show disagreed so they made her character a coward that gets her friend in trouble and tried to give as much plausible deniability to her being trans as possible.

The Scribe refers to her with They/Them pronouns, and seems to have a faint mustache visible in some scenes, so I would assume she is meant to be a man. Or maybe in season 2 they'll say she is non-binary since they seem to be hinting at a love triangle between Lucy-Niggermus-Pooner

Man....the entire Fallout franchise is pretty much normie goyslop at this point. Yea the old games are good and NV is good but that's it, Bethesda is literally incapable of making good vidya.
Why does everything I like get taken over by insane trannies? And why do THEY get backed up by 35 year old millennial faggots?
