I (unrelatedly) finally started playing new Vegas just a few days ago. Is the show any good?

It’s really freaking good somehow.

It knocked my stupid socks off… although I wasn’t sure how the concept could even work

It’s surprisingly good. Two of the leads are really good. The other one gets better as the show goes on. The prop and stage design is as close to 1:1 that you can get, which is impressive.

It kinda fizzles out at the end, but the journey is a lot of fun. Definitely recommend it.

Top points for Matt “Wolves!” Berry voicing him.

Out of curiosity, which one do you think gets better?

Max. I couldn’t stand him the entire first half of the season. Lucy and especially Goggins were great throughout.

Agreed on all counts. Last episode was the weakest, in my opinion, but overall is a very good show.

They even nailed the Fallout grotesque

The show is pretty good honestly. As a pretty big fan of the franchise I’m enjoying it compared to the dumpster fire that is Halo.

What do you mean you don’t like the show where a canonically asexual character commits statutory rape?

It’s not The Wire or The Sopranoes.

It is genuinely fun and bingeable.

I haven’t watched it, but my understanding is they fucked up the NCR. Someone on rock-paper-shotgun described it as “Bethesda wants fallout to be kitschy mad max and nothing more”, and that felt pretty apt. But again I haven’t watched it so I’m just second hand griping.

Ehhh kind of? After watching it, it feels a lot more like they want to show the rebuilding of the NCR, so I wouldn’t exactly say they did things to the NCR just because they wanted a more Mad Max Apocalypse style.

That’s pretty much it. Bethesda hand-of-gods Fallout to never develop too far, for an eternal shantytown aesthetic with super mutant orcs and Brotherhood everywhere.
