Ok, cool. I'll give it a spin.
You quoted the wrong person here but happy to answer the question anyway.
No wonder I couldn't get it to start. Maybe I was just bottling Amazon Prime.
How did vault 33 manage to capture some of the raiders?
They have tranq guns.
Also real guns
Ah yes, thats it
Got the mrs watching this and to my surprise she is really enjoying it!
Just finished ep4, so halfway through. Very good so far. The world building and constant blend between dark themes, violence and humour is excellent.

Same here! I've played the shit of FO3, 4 and NV. Never played 1 and 2, and while I've heard they are very good, I think they might be a bit too 'different' to the more open world/action RPG I love so much.
I agree. They are pitching it so you don't know what to expect, you don't know which of the "name" actors might actually die in the next scene. It was interesting seeing Lucy use her wits to get ahead, for instance, in one scene.
Call me a stinking hipster, but I never thought much of Bethesda's offerings (don't really rate them as a studio). Fallout 4 is hot garbage (as is 76), but Fallout 3 is a stellar experience provided you mod the game (which newcomers aren't going to get involved in much I'd wager).
New Vegas for me was what Fallout is supposed to be - no on rails BS story you're forced to play along with, real choices, great dialogue, complex characters and for me it encapsulates the dark humour and tone of the world perfectly. I don't think its aged anymore poorly than the other modern Fallout games, and provided new players can look beyond the dated visuals I reckon they'll have a great time of it. Only reason I wouldn't recommend it as a first experience is because it'll ruin the other (IMO) inferior games in the franchise
Its currently £2.50 in the steam store.
I'm no gamer, I haven't played any of the games or know anything about them. I'm 5 episodes in and it's good fun. First episode felt like a bit of a muddle, it also looked to have much lower production value than Ep2 onwards. In Ep1, everything inside the vault looked really cheap and fake, and that on and off slow-mo fight scene felt like something out of Letterkenny. Ep2 onwards has looked a lot slicker. Good mix of dark, gore and humour, no idea if that's in line with the tone of the games, but it's been a solid watch so far. Goggins is always great to watch.
First half of the season was pretty bad imho. Second half was better when the overall plot was more in focus. Still a lot of bad writing, main characters just happens to be crossing paths all the time to drive the plot forward.
Watched fully over 2 days and loved it, 9/10.
I've played all the games many times and loved the nod to the gamers, like the bobble head in the store and the lining in the suit. The wife enjoyed it and she has zero idea about the games/world of Fallout.
It can absolutely be enjoyed by those that are just being introduced to the Fallout genre but it's a far better show if you're aware or the lore. I hope it's not too much of a wait for season 2.

Absolutely adore it but knew I would. Already desperate for season 2 and will be playing Fallout 4 for the umpteenth time.
The pip-boy hud had "stat" and "inv" on it, and it also tickled me that the hacking was straight out of the games.
Agreed. I also just remembered when Norm was hacking the Overseers terminal, the 'find the word' hack
Same here. Watched the first episode together and she enjoyed it even though never played or heard about the game.
Episode 2 done and still like it. Goggins is a great choice for the ghoul and I like it’s clearly not taking itself seriously. Being critical there’s a lot of convenient crossing paths of characters but that’s what a game is like. Big fight scene flying part was a bit naff but otherwise great.
Walton and yes he's brilliant.
Watched it over the weekend as I was sick. Loved it, though I never played the games. Somehow despite being a big gamer for many years.
Enjoyed the 1st season. 8 Episodes seem a bit less though.
Ugh seeing that cnut
making a cameo has soured it a bit for me.
.
Michael Rapaport
Glad he was killed off so soon
Why?
He's extremely vocally anti-Palestinian online.
But his portrayal was very apt.
Never played the games but the show was excellent, loved ol' Goggings as always amazing in everything he's in, I liked Lucy too but for some reason I just can't like Maximus, stoick acting and all I could see was Finn (from star wars) same misunderstood lost guy who trys to become a badass but just looks stupid in doing so, weird comparison to make but even though different actor, same rubbish portrayal.
Other than that, loved the retro vibe and the reveals, now I should play the games

Yep.
Oh ok
I'd give the show a 9/10, but I agree on the Maximus stuff.
Would much rather the BoS main character just be a badass knight, rather than a nobody who is gonna ultimately do something special.
I watched episode one again and instantly was bored with his storyline
I've hated him since Prison Break. His face and his voice.
Yeah, he annoyed me in Prison Break too.
"I'm a very tough guy and look at how tough I am"
sure mate, feck off.
Who?
Oh, Michael Rapaport. I see someone posted in between.
I can't even remember him from Prison Break. He's good in Cop Land though, which sucks because he's toxic now.
He almost ruined a whole season of Justified as well.
I had no idea he was like this. Just took a look at his twitter feed and it's truly embarrassing as well. He's carrying on like some tough guy reading a rejected script from Power.
Anyway, Fallout. It was far better than I expected. I'm a fairly big fan of the games and it definitely made me want to play them again. The humour was there, but it was funnier and more clever than the trailer had suggested. Good performances. Didnt like Maximus much , unlikeable character who seemed dumb as shit. Every decision he made was moronic and it irritated me.
I absolutely loved the back story scenes before the war. Can't say I really loved the ending though.

It's only £3.99.
On the second episode currently and i cannot stand this goddamn awful music from the 60s that is being played in every scene.. its annoying as feck..
Umm actually that music is from the 2070s so akshcyually it's very modern
I'm pretty sure it's from the 40s and 50s mostly.
If you were familiar with the fallout games then you'd know why that type of music is in it.
Two eps in. Decent so far but yet to take off for me at this point. All the characters crossing paths super easily and Maximus arc is already annoying me.
Should have launched at that price given it’s crap
I probably wouldn't have noticed characters crossing paths if it weren't for this thread. They do it in every show anyway, it's literally how the story is told, otherwise there isn't a story?
The worst was in ep 2 where maximus was just there at perfect timing though, that's the worst so far.
But yeah, the maximus story is feckin garbage.
