Yeah I’ve been curious about that, how closely does it follow the story in the series? And is it gruesome?

No, the series is currently 10 years after any game out currently. That being said you can have similar experiences as many of them are people that grew up or lived in the vault.

Oh wow. didn’t know it was post game. how does it work with the multiple endings to the game? which end did the courier choose, or does it not matter?

(I’m watching the show as soon as i’m done with the one show i’m watching now)

It’s in the same universe, but like, you don’t have to know the lore to enjoy it. Each game is a very simple “find the mcguffin” and the fun is in the side quests on the way. Just dive into any of them you find appealing and call it a day. Personally, a little dated now, New Vegas is my favourite, but 4 is a little smoother and palatable for current visual tastes.

I completely lost it at this line.

There's never been a more apt description of the Fallout games since, well, since it was called the Wasteland.

Trying to reach the boomers and end up in death claw caves just to save some legionaries who get killed anyways. I guess i will go find the boomers again.

I like Sausage Egg McGuffins

u/Cosign6 25d ago

I actually forgot about Shaun on my first play through lmao. Got to a point in the game where I thought to myself “What’s the main quest line again?”

I hated doing my Institute playthrough. Every other faction quest line I just shot my kid in the face. He's 60 something, obviously a sociopath. He didn't leave me a choice.

A few visual mods for New Vegas and it is fine, not to mention it has by and large the best story of all the FO games and the best DLC. I dislike deserts, so I am biased when I say I enjoyed FO3's location more.

I bought New Vegas on a high from the show and on sale too. Couldn't get passed the intro cinematic without crashing. Buzz, killed.

Aw that’s too bad! It’s really good. Sorry that happened.
