I haven’t played any Fallout game, but I am pretty sure I own some lmao (giveaways and such), so what is the most recommended title to start with?

Do you like isometric RPGs like Baldur’s Gate, Numenera, etc? Start with 1 or 2. 3 if you’re more of an action/RPG person

I started playing Fallout 4 again this weekend. Then I got to the settlement shit and quit.

Man that was my favourite part. Easily took my GPA down 0.5 - 1.0 points

For someone who only liked NV from the 3D games, never touched 76 and still likes 1-2 the most how is the show?

It’s good, it definitely retains that… “silly but actually kind of brutal and depressing” thing the games have going on. Also it expands on the lore of Vault Tec, the “lifecycle” of ghouls, and some other little things. And it can be genuinely funny at times!

From what I’ve seen on the internet, the events of NV have been retconned in the show, and some people are upset about that. It seems the more of a fallout purist you are the less likely it is you’ll enjoy the show.

Most casual fallout enjoyers seem to like it well enough.

Totally disagree. I’m a diehard fallout fan, played all the games and know all of the lore. The more you know about Fallout the better it actually gets. There are some small discrepancies, but can easily be ignored if you realize how well it ties all the stories together. It literally references every single game (apart of 76 and brotherhood), even the unreleased ones and picks up the good concepts from the cancelled movie

Looks like they made my new Vegas playthrough the official cannon

Why do you say that? We got a single glimpse of Vegas and I don’t think much else

From what I saw it looks like House is in charge and Shady Sands got Nuked, which mirrors my first playthrough perfectly.

Can you nuke Shady Sands? I thought all you could target was Dry Wells and the Long 15.

I did think about that though. It would be interesting if they chose to make all the evil decisions the courier can make canon.

Kind of like the New Vegas mod DUST.

The timeline of the show lines up to the rise of Mr. House and his takeover of new Vegas. I really hope we get to see all that, I would love to see Caesar’s legions.

New Vegas would be a lot of fun, it’s areal shame Rene Aberjones assed away a few years ago. He would’ve been great in the role.

Still have to watch it but I hate the ghouls. They are disgusting. I put them out of their misery in the games
