I'd never seen this before, and its fun to get an inside look into the early lore. They talk about playing pen and paper Fallout to test new perks, I wish I could go back in time and join those games.

Did you get a chance to watch the show on Amazon yet? The kids and I watched the first two episodes last night. So far, it feels like Fallout, and I am not disappointed!

I was laughing at all the YouTube videos last month "this is why the fallout show will suck!". People are such haters. It's not like the fallout games were known for their Oscar winning dialogue and plot, so as soon as I saw that the show has the exact same aesthetic I knew they could pull it off. I liked the first episode i saw.

Glad I didn't watch with my kids though lol that sex scene came out of nowhere, but the gore I was happy about. Cause the games are pretty damn gory.

Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas are well known for high quality dialogue and plot. The Bethesda games on the other hand...

Fallout 1 has a high quality plot? That's new.
