It is definitely happening, and I am guessing daddy Microsoft is going to push it out faster than Bethesda would like. That just means it will be handled by pajeets and a horde of AI prompt typers to make the game faster while Bethesda focuses on TES6, not like it matters since the show proved that they could package a piece of shit in a box that says "Fallout" and people will still buy it, anyways. The normalfags they attracted thanks to Amazon are a market too big to pass up, and it's not like they know how a Fallout game is supposed to look anyways, so anything will do.
Even if they try to push it as fast as they can, it’s not a call of duty game. They’re still going to need at least 4-5 years before they’re able to shit it out. Literally the only way they could put it out faster is a) if the Fallout 3 remake is a real thing b) the use the engine and the whole game as a base for Fallout 5 and c) they farm the game out to an entirely different studio
 
Thadius is using child labour to take bottlecaps off of Sunset Sarsaparilla bottles. Not sure yet if he's doing at someone's behest yet.

Legion camp is sufficiently brutal. The Ghoul slitting that dude's throat is retroactively justified since he wasn't a slave but the slave's "legionary". Her throat is immediately slashed by the Lanius cosplayer for losing him.

Culkin looks far too soft to be in Lanius' costume. He calls Lucy a profligate, which is what they refer to non-Legionaries. Since she's not apart of a tribe or the NCR they have no reason to enslave her besides kicks.

Lucy mocks the use of "kaisar" (ky-sar) instead of "caesar" (see-zer) since the former is German whilst they have more of a "roman theme". Peak midwit if the writers meant this in earnest. The former pronunciation is more accurate to Latin so it would've been pronounced "ky-sar". Culkin raised a brow at her.

"We're negotiating your prima noctis." Ugh. Then Lucy shames them for being culturally backward. Why haven't they already killed her?

Caesar died. Legion's in a state of civil war over who ought to be his successor. That's more or less a viable prediction for the fate of the Legion. Needless to say they probably won't handle it well. Caesar put his successor's name in his "divine pocket" and neither side will stop shooting long enough to go get the name - yes this is real. Culkin is also really pompous and veers in and out of British accent.

Lucy offers to help resolve the conflict. She is promptly crucified. Lmao.

Ghoul crawls his way to some sort of pool, cuts a chunk of poisoned leg out of his leg and pets Dogmeat.

Another flashback scene. Cooper's wife is crying, Cooper isn't as comforting as he could be. Discusses with his friend the prospect of having to kill Robert House at a veteran's hall meeting - House is in the bathroom waiting for Cooper, who doesn't recognise him, and speaks ominously at him for a couple minutes. House sympathises with the Pinko point of view about shitty institutions.

Brotherhood again. The Elder actually explains to the audience the Brotherhood's origin to convince "Yosemite sam" (the woman) to stay on-side for a rebellion. Roger Maxson seeing human experiments in Cali convinced him to go rogue from the US government. The Elder says Maxson's mutiny was prompted by the government betraying his God, which justified betraying his government. Legitimately, where the fuck was this guy last episode? Anyway, Yosemite Sam doesn't go for it and tells him to turn the cold fusion mcguffin over to the Commonwealth. Maximus offers to kill the Commonwealth paladin for him, and the elder calls him a retard (which yeah, he is)

Indian dude is hard to take seriously. Anything he says sounds like a joke so any serious exposition is just noise. He straight up says Maximus' chapter of the Brotherhood sucks, and he's not wrong.

The Ghoul is at the camp. He's standing in full view with a spyglass and nobody gives a shit. One of the new caesars is Chinese. The Ghoul then teleports to the Ranger headquarters (Chief Hanlon's place) to get help to fight the Legions. A securitron is waiting for him inside. It's Viktor and he and the Ghoul know each other. Yes, it's the Viktor, same VA and everything. NCR posters on the wall are ripped from the game, meaning the people on them are the in-game models and not people lmao. House "had all the money in the world and all he wanted to do was live forever" is Viktor's summation of why House's death is ironic. Viktor also is more aware-sounding than he was in-game. House needed the cold fusion mcguffin to do something but I don't know what. Viktor tells him of NCR rangers "up in the hills" and so goes the Ghoul

The Indian dude is constantly mogging the camera. Apparently the Commonwealth isn't doing so hot either.

The Ghoul has teleported to the outside of Primm (possibly the drive in theatre where you start OWB?) and gets shot at by a NCR ranger. The uniform is much better than it looked in episode 2. The ghoul is saved because "he and the NCR go way back" ??? They're mad and lost track of the years. They think the NCR/Legion war is still at the scale it was and forgot Shady Sands was nuked.

Indian and Black fight a securitron. Indian does not take it seriously. He uses a Fallout 4 super sledge. The securitrons are powered by fusion cores.

Lucy is still crucified - probably her best time spent on screen by far. The Ghoul appears at the camp now, and also mocks them for not saying "caesar". He trades the location of those 2 NCR for Lucy. This is all interspersed with a flashback. Actually a semi-decent scene. Good music. He false flags an explosion in the Legion camp to instigate conflict.

The place Indian and Black fought the securitron is the bottling plant where Thadeus was at the start. Black is afraid Indian will kill the ghoul child, a fear that is confirmed as he tells all the "smooth skins" to move to one side of the room. Thadeus then appears from under a conveyor belt and covers them, but Indian insists they're abominations and wants to carry on with it. (I thought the Brotherhood were more pragmatic about their approach to ghouls than this?) Black smashes Indian's head in with super sledge and saves them. This is not treated seriously.

Also how the fuck did Thadeus get to the Mojave anyway?

That's the episode. Best of the 3 so far. I want to say, actually engaging with the lore is forcing them to be a little more reverent, but we'll see.

Edit: On episode 4, it looks like Deathclaws were somehow in Alaska pre-war.

The Legion slave is executed for losing her handler; why did she come back again, and why did she say nothing to Lucy?

Lucy continues to mouth off to the Legion before their leader and they all patiently wait to hear her out. Her blasting off at the Legion for being backwards is even dumber since everyone is a backwards crackhead in this show.

The Legion are having a civil war inside their camp because they don't know who was made Ceasar's heir. It was written down, but apparently neither side has been able to retrieve a piece of paper from the corpse between camps for years. And when I say 'inside the camp', I literally mean that Lucy glances over to see Caesar's corpse a hop and a skip away, which marks the boundary between the two sides.

Don't even try to make sense of how this state of the Legion gels with the endings since, if the Legion don't win Hoover Dam, they're pushed out of the Mojave, but the show is clearly acting like they've just been stuck in their base since Caesar's death. In fact, the show is acting like no one in the Mojave has been in or out since the battle of Hoover Dam. Like, their conflict relies on that corpse being untouched, so they had to have been at this for years, but also they've managed to reduce the NCR to two guy whilst fighting a civil war.

Lucy gets hung on a cross and is treating it as nothing more than a minor annoyance, huffing like a fucking child.

The image of House waiting in the bathroom for Cooper just to make a 'People will act out when they feel cornered' speech is fucking hilarious.

So, 'Cunt' Elder from last episode goes from 'Well, we can interpret the codex any way we want, let's rebel against the commonwealth and take power!' to 'R-R-Rebellion? THAT'S AGAINST THE CODEX!' with the only change being that the commonwealth knows they want to rebel. What, was she expecting this war to entirely rely on catching the enemy off guard once?

Maximus: "I could just murder the commonwealth guy."
Elder: "We don't have the power to face the consequences of that without the alliance that just walked out the door."
Maximus: "But you said our cause was righteous."

This is presented like Maximus is pointing out hypocrisy, when the Elder is right to call him an idiot who doesn't understand logistics.

This conversation, and then the next one with Maximus and Xander 'discussing' the Brotherhood beliefs is utterly empty because there is no Brotherhood beliefs in this show. No one here actually believes in anything and only see the Brotherhood as a power that gets them what they want. Xander's speech boils down to little more than "We're soldiers, we do shit. Your Elder is a cleric, he talks shit. That makes us cooler."

The NCR presence in the Mojave is two dudes who have been here for a decade (I think they don't even know that Shady Sands was nuked?); yet the Legion was acting like the NCR were still a factor.

The Ghoul trades information on the remaining NCR rangers for Lucy, and the Legion just buy it. And I think it's implying that he somehow managed to plant some explosives in the camp whilst he was being escorted by armed guards?
 
Haven't watched a second of this shitty show, so the legion are fighting over a piece of paper that Caesar wrote the next heir on. If they do find the note, how can they verify it's real and not fabricated?
And if one side retrieves Caesar's note, will the other side just accept it and stop fighting?

How do they know the note is on Caesar's body? Are they fighting over an empty corpse this whole time?

Is Legate Lanius in the show? Don't tell me the home alone guy is Lanius. Why didn't Caesar tell him who the next heir is, or why didn't Caesar give a speech proclaiming the next heir before he died?

So, did the tumor get him? It's strange that they don't go into more detail about what killed him; even stranger is that no one was able to get the note out of the pocket when his body was found.

Well, any normal person would say they weren't really fighting after watching the episode. I have no idea what they were thinking, making a Berlin Wall storyline for the Legion.

I suspect:

Macaulay Culkin is listed as Lacerta Legate. He is not Lanius. Which leads me to believe that the dead Caesar is not Edward Swallow. Yes, the body is dressed up to look exactly like Caesar, except for the golden laurel wreath. Furthermore, the Legion camp in the show is not at the Fort. It is at the bottom of a hill, with no recognizable locations. The show is very intentional with its references and would have made it dramatically clear if this was a New Vegas reference, like they did with Camp Golf.

These are Remnants of the Legion. Like every other faction in the show, the Legion is broken up and there are disparate elements fighting over scraps. Considering that we have other scenes of Culkin from trailers, my guess is that he will find 'Caesar's' corpse and recover the note. What little we see of it says 'I AM IMMTL'. Either Culkin's character will read it as I am immortal, or because the writers will view the Legion as savage warmongers, not know how to read, rendering the fighting pointless.
 
One guy on Youtube is uploading clips of the show; can I post them here?

The crucifixion was disappointing as fuck. Legion uses bard wire to make sure you suffer as long as possible and slowly bleed to death. Just using normal rope is lame as hell.
 
I haven't caught up with the thread yet, but I just got to the part where they kill the female slave for returning without her legionary.

All that time I spent wondering "hmm... why is the female slave returning to the Legion?" She's retarded, just like all the other characters.

To be honest, in New Vegas I'm pretty sure the legion uses rope to make the suffering last as long as possible. I thought the legion nailed victims on the cross, but I was wrong. I guess using nails or barbed wire is a waste of resources.

I wish the legion cut off Lucy's tongue. They were too kind to her.

You right, they do use ropes. I thought they used barbed wire because the victims would die if you tried to get them down in Nipton for some reason

One could argue is because being a slave is the only thing she knew. She never had freedom and only knew how to follow the orders of her masters. slavery dose that to people sometimes.

That's true, but indoctrination doesn't turn people into unthinking automatons. It seems to be a running theme with this show, like with Bud's Buds being a bunch of easily programmable bots.

The slave should have panicked because her legionary is dead. She can't return to her masters, but she also cannot live without them. Que Lucy convincing her to leave the Legion and travel with her or something. What we got is so stupid.
