Fallout series

[Skitarii]

Maybe they can do both. Have InXile or old Black Isle/Obsidian veterans make isometric Fallout games in the West Coast, and have the Fallout 76 team make more FPS/RPG-style games on the East Coast. That way, you have two separate Fallout continuities that sometimes reference each other, but rarely ever meet. That way, you can satisfy fans of Fallout 1, 2, and New Vegas, as well as fans of Fallout 3, 4, and 76.

Obshitian veterans haven't made a good game since 2004, and all the company layoffs have made former Black Isle staff even harder to get ahold of. Just get Bill Gates to break up Bethesda into hundreds of tiny pieces and reliquidate the rights to Fallout back to Micro Forté so they can make Fallout Tactics 2-76, like God intended

On the topic of Amazon's Fallout, Im starting to wonder how would one adapt this series? Should it even be in live action?

I dont know, I say this because its easier to get away with some more out there things from Fallout in an animated format, like VATS (seriously, how can one adapt VATS into another media?)

And what plot should it follow? They kind would have four choices

1- Adapt the series in a linear manner (F1-2-onwards)
2- Do their "own take" of the series, using details from the whole series to construct its own unique detached narrative from the games (as long they make it clear that this isnt suppose to be a direct adaptation of the games and its actually good, I could accept the differences)
3- Make it set in the Fallout universe but make it a side story to the main one, with the protagonist of the entry's timeframe its following being mentioned ocassionally.
4- (and this is ballsy but) make it an adaptation of Fallout Tactics...I mean, Tactics is in that thin line between canon and not canon (Bethesda said it isnt but their games do reference events from it, soo...). A solution to this adapt Tactics with own set of creative liberties (looking best case scenario here) that will fit within the main game's continuity. So the game wont be canon but its live action version will.

Fallout 3 gets a bad rep thanks to purists and people refusing to see it for what it is. It has flaws indeed but I would still consider it comfortably part of the series (76, on the other hand, tho...).

I don’t begrudge people for liking it. It’s cool to see the monuments in a post apocalyptic world. I feel like they blew their load a bit early and if any game could use a remake and overhaul it’s Fallout 3.

Unpopular opinion but I preferred Fallout 4 to 3. IMO fallout 3 is remembered more fondly than it deserves. The main storyline in 3 is straight out of a teen dystopian novel. Especially with how they portray the Enclave. The way the plot was written, the Lone Wanderer may as well have been Katniss Everdeen. Plus 3 railroads players more than even 4. 4 despite its flaws at least let’s you choose which side you ultimately join. Both 4 and New Vegas have more replayability than 3.

Personally my favorite two fallout games are New Vegas and Fallout 2. But I can’t play 3 anymore unless it’s TTW.

I'd rather have it be good just to have Fallout get some love for its anniversary, but this year has been terrible for video game shows (Halo was a failure as soon as the helmet came off, and Resident Evil was utterly abysmal), and this show's being helmed by the guys who ran Westworld into the ground.

The one thing this has going for it is not having Netflix involved, and even then Amazon's letting Lord of the Rings get fucked over.

I have 0 hope for it. I have as much faith in Amazon getting shows based on vidya right as I do in Netflix anime adaptations.

Especially with how they portray the Enclave.

The Enclave felt surprisingly loyal to their F2 counterpart and what is different is justified as this Enclave being a more "progressive" branch that wants to dominate the wasteland but not wipe it out of all life like the OG wanted. Its Henry Eden that decided to go with this idea, that Colonel Autumn was intensely against. The reason he lets the Lone Wanderer escape is to be his wild card to complete the F2 Enclave's plan of poisoning the wasteland.

It gave them more complexity and inner conflict like an actual faction.

If the Enclave ever returns as a major faction (like if that branch in Chicago mentioned in New Vegas still existed), I'd like to see them try to win the hearts & minds of the local population instead of trying another genocide. They had two devastating defeats within 40 years of each other (three if you consider the Scorchbeast business in 76), so whatever's left could consider slowly opening up to the Wasteland as a parallel to the Brotherhood in the original Fallout.

It would’ve been great if we could side with one or the other and kept the brotherhood out of it entirely, especially with an option of betraying dear ole dad.

I’d prefer it if they did an anthology and had it based on different NPCs. So show the backstory of different companions before they meet the PC (Vault Dweller, Chosen One, Lone Wanderer, Courier, etc).

I always thought a comic book series with different versions of the courier could be interesting. Sorta like when someone replays the game but with different characters. I don’t think that’d work with the show though.

2. Could be interesting if done right. 3. Would be feasible and would be great if they put in the effort.

I actually think that tactics would be the best game for them to adapt since it’s not canon and people won’t be as mad about any creative liberties they take. It gives them more wiggle room, is more obscure so you could throw in more plot twists, and there aren’t any hardcore tactic fans so any whining will be minimal. If they can do that fine, then people would be ok with an adaptation of any other game.

Yes, Obsidian has entered quite the decline. I knew they were in for one when they kicked out Chris Avellone, the guy behind the KOTOR 2 and New Vegas storylines, and seeing Outer Worlds just proves to me that they're nowhere near Bioware's level anymore. At the very least, Dragon Age 3 is still somewhat interesting when compared to Outer Worlds and its one-note corporate villains who make the Fallout 3 Enclave seem like nuanced foes.

The Enclave felt surprisingly loyal to their F2 counterpart and what is different is justified as this Enclave being a more "progressive" branch that wants to dominate the wasteland but not wipe it out of all life like the OG wanted.

Indeed. What they should have done is make it so that you can re-program John Henry Eden to be nice, then have an Enclave civil war where Autumn wants to turn the wasteland into a fascist dictatorship under himself, while the reprogrammed Eden wants the Enclave to work with the Lyons' Brotherhood and local communities to help clean up the wasteland.

Again, as I've said before, they'll likely have something that takes place before the nuclear apocalypse, portraying capitalist, anti-communist America as evil, or they'll adapt Fallout 2's story entirely, where you have patriotic Americans portrayed as Nazis running around killing people. Much of the early Fallout lore, along with the first two games, are very much written from the same perspective as The Boys show, where it's obvious that they're portraying the flag-waving, patriotic, anti-communist 'Muricans as the bad guys.

It's linear and much more easy to adapt for a viewing experience, but it also has the pizzaz and charm of classic fallout that would easily make the project come into its own

 

[Overcast]

Kinda warms my heart a bit to see Fallout 3 given some credit rather than be treated like it’s Sonic 06.

Wasn’t my favorite in the series in retrospect, but it was how I was introduced to the series. And you can tell the team behind it were genuinely passionate and enthusiastic about it. They just made a lot of mistakes down the road.

I recall reading this interview of one of the designers in a game magazine years back about how he was visiting the Washington Memorial or something for reference and he turned to ask his wife something along the lines of “Hey, if the monument blew up, which direction do you think it’d fall?”

His wife shot him a death glare and pointed him at a nearby federal agent/cop.

Thought that was funny.

I feel like thats what the F3 Enclave intended to do, what they wanted was to take over project purity and declare to the wasteland. "The Enclave is here, join us today!...We have clean drinking delicious waaaateeeer!"

Again, this branch didnt want to wipe out wastelanders, they wanted to rule over them as a legit government (not that Im saying they were benevolent but I dont think that they would go all nazi in anything but name like in F2.)

I find it difficult for the Enclave to do so unless they do it in a relatively isolated location since news of the Enclave from the NCR and Capital Wasteland corners of the country would eventually reach the people they are trying to convince otherwise.

It would’ve been great if we could side with one or the other and kept the brotherhood out of it entirely, especially with an option of betraying dear ole dad.

GIven how James reacts to you legit nuking a town full of innocents, I doubt he will give you a satisfying betrayal reaction.

An episode around Marcus and Fawkes's backstories would be neat. The former more adventurous and the latter more depressing for obvious reasons.

I said tactics because it is a pretty detached setting from the main series and you would have more creative freedom (again, if used well). And its semi-canon so it can get away with a few changes. Besides, it would be an excuse to center it around the BOS from the get go (and unlike what some would say, that wouldnt be Bethesda's favoritism towards them in this case, this is legit how Interplay themselves made it).

Do you think a troon would go to bumfuck nowhere, Nevada in a summer climate? They rather be in front of the computers seething about why their yes man ending on which they establish socialism and enter a poly relationship with all their companions it's the canon ending.
Besides if I were a fucking boomer in a 50 people town and saw a business opportunity in some faggots you will see me dressing up like whatever the fuck you want and sell my beer bottle caps to a manchild who barely fits a vaultdweller jumpsuit.

I went to this -- very briefly, as we were looking to grab dinner and it was so packed you couldn't get a bag of chips, much less a burger. There were a lot more genuine Fallout fans than troons, including a few pretty cute broads dressed up as Cass. To embellish on your point, the Pioneer Saloon changed owners a few years ago and ever since has been trying to build up their profile as a destination for Vegas tourists: bigger menu, more events like this. The townies seemed perfectly fine with it.

Thank God they're moving it to October for next year, though. It was like 110.

God be merciful on whatever poor soul went on head to toe cosplay without proper ventilation.
Troons aren't fit for actual social events so it's kinda nice that one doesn't have to deal with them in real life.
Do they have plans on expanding the current saloon or to have a dedicated area for events? I've heard numbers of 500 people so if they are struggling with that they need to properly restructure for this to be a yearly event.

I saw a guy -- I can only assume he won the costume contest -- in a 7 foot tall suit of power armor. They had misters but I can't imagine it they helped that poor dude too much.

TKS's video says they're going to try to do a full weekend next year, which might help. But honestly, I don't think they can do a lot to expand. It's a tiny space, even with the old general store next door (they're all part of the same business now, with the general store being more of a gift shop). An actual schedule of events might help. This year it was just "9 AM to midnight!" which, honestly, turned out to be pretty useless with the size of the crowd. Best bet might be to have the actual event in one of the hotels with staggered trips out to Goodsprings. Vegas is only about half an hour drive away.

Legion it's too bigoted, House it's an evil capitalist and the NCR are literal natzies. It also has something to do with certain anarchist communist movements but only an anarchist outcome of yes man can happen if the courier ends up being an incompetent fuck.
Yes Man lends itself to be head cannon heavy as the events long term are decided how you interpret your courier so escapist fanfiction are galore.

It allows you to be the wasteland warlord instead of an errand boy for other factions. It also allows for head canons and roleplaying to be greatly expanded upon.

Want to create a democratic federal government for the Mojave? Want to create an empire the likes of the Legion can only dream of? Want to aid the revitalization of the local Brotherhood of Steel Chapter? Yes Man is the ending that best allows for this type of roleplaying as the open ended nature of this ending can allow a lot of freedom for speculation and Head canon.
