Amazon Studios to develop series based on Fallout

[Libtardism Is Over]

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.

I figured that Caesar's Legion differed from ancient Rome in that they didn't literally nail people to the cross, presumably because the actual type of long metal nails needed may be in short supply, but that they broke people's arms and then tied those same broken arms to the cross.

Simply tying people's arms to the cross without breaking them wouldn't hurt nearly as much.

Amazon Fallout showrunners don't care about that though, they just wanted another quirky dialogue scene while Lucy gets abused but not seriously disabled.

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.

True. A good slave would have slit their own throat the moment their master dies.

So, is no one going to mention that Maximus just kills the indian at the end? I'm guessing this means that the season finale of this shit is going to be the commonwealth and BoS fighting over new vegas?

Paladin Xander Harkness Singh was trying to convince Maximus to make less retarded decisions, of course he had to die. We need the clown show to continue on to its next act.

Judging from that one clip of Lucy meeting the legion, they seem to be completely redditfied. The actual legion from the game would've bashed Lucy's teeth as soon as she spoke. The legion is supposed to be a horrifying yet realistic portrayal of a faction in the post-post apocalypse. Everyone probably thinks they'll be a quirky chungus out in the wasteland, but the reality is most of us would be monsters. Humanity dies when it's life or death. We all despise the legion, but let's be real, if your tribe were conquered you would assimilate into the legion.

If Lucy was punished for being a smartass she would learn to shut the fuck up when in the presence of psychopaths. If I wrote this show, Lucy would leave the vault with a happy-go-lucky attitude and her optimism and naivety would slowly crack throughout the season, leading to her breaking down and crying, utterly defeated by the reality of the wasteland. End season one with Lucy at her lowest point, borderline suicidal. She wanders out at night, hoping something out there would finish her off.

In season 2 she is saved by the Ghoul and gradually adapts to the horrors of the wasteland, while trying to hold onto her humanity. I would be fine with the brotherhood being a wholesome reddit faction if Maximus was the villain, a wolf in sheep's clothing who never had to face hardship like Lucy. Make the Ghoul a mentor to Lucy: an anti-hero who did horrible things in the past, but his memories of his life before he was a ghoul comes back to haunt him. The Ghoul wants to die with as little regret as possible, while Maximus is corrupted by the power armour and weaponry and wants to live forever. The show ends with the Ghoul sacrificing himself to kill Maximus, while Lucy becomes a hardened warrior who still holds onto hope for the future.

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

I think the obvious answer is to do an isometric turn based RPG. Baldur's Gate 3 and Expedition 33 were huge hits and show that there's an audience for turn based RPGs that aren't Pokemon.

That would require Bethesda to have skills and imagination.

Lucy redditsplaining to the Legion was so bad. And no way they would just assume a random adult woman found in the wasteland would be a virgin, and they wouldn't gasp like Victorians when she told them she wasn't. They would have inspected her like any other potential slave, assigned her value accordingly, and put her into the pool of other potential slaves for training. They wouldn't have crucified her simply for speaking out of line, that would be a huge waste. At most, they would give her a bomb collar until she learned to behave.

I imagine the next fallout game we're going to get will be made by another studio since BGS is busy with TES6, so the obvious answer is to shove it off onto Inxile or Obsidian.

 

[umseriously]

I just enjoy watching the new fallout season as a disaster made by what is essentially the asylum. I don't consider it canon. House dropping the bombs for "profit" is completely retarded.

The worst part is she redditsplained wrong too. Keep in mind this bitch comes from the good vault where all execs are and she got a good education and in episode 2 is shown to at least understand a bit of Latin. This bitch should know the way the legion pronounces Caesar is correct it's the classical Latin pronunciation!

 

[Pale Empress]

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.

Remember that the show is set fifteen years after the events of FONV. Not that the passage of time has ever meant anything for Bethsoft when it comes to Fallout, but the whole notion that all these factions have just been kinda hanging out and twiddling their thumbs for all this time is so ludicrous.
Defenders of the show (and people like Tim Cain, who seems apathetic toward the show and franchise in general) harangue on about how canon is determined by who owns the IP. Sure, that's fine, but the problem is that the canon being established makes no sense whatsoever within the logic of the world.
So far – and this is evident in s02 especially – it's just wheeling out iconography so the characters can hang out in cool looking set pieces, allowing viewers to do the DiCaprio finger-point thing and seal-clap for getting the reference.

Just commit to the bit and move the story and setting forward in a meaningful way.

Also, Walter Goggles continues to be the best part of the show.

 

[Serbian Peacekeepers]

This bitch should know the way the legion pronounces Caesar is correct it's the classical Latin pronunciation!

In all fairness, I think her assuming she's smarter than the legion and "correcting" their pronunciation with the more popular version, not knowing their version is actually closer to the original latin pronunciation, is the exact type of shit I'd expect out of a Vault Dweller.

So, is no one going to mention that Maximus just kills the indian at the end? I'm guessing this means that the season finale of this shit is going to be the commonwealth and BoS fighting over new vegas?

My bet is that Maximus is going to kill his Elder and become the leader of the new, even more wholesome chungus Brotherhood.

I have no idea what they were thinking, making a Berlin Wall storyline for the Legion.

The Legion is 20 people camped around a sand dune with a comedic McGuffin in the middle.

The NCR is 4 rangers hiding on a hill.

I'm done with having any hope for this season. The only cope I have left is that it took a few seasons for Star Trek: TNG to get good, and given enough time perhaps the same can happen for this show.

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.

I don't understand how every faction can be broken up, filled with retards, and fighting over scraps. House seems to be out of the picture, the rangers are down to their last Black Woman, and there appears to be no one filling the power vacuum.

The Ghoul has teleported

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 guys whilst fighting a civil war

I think it's implying that he somehow managed to plant some explosives in the camp whilst he was being escorted by armed guards?

It's like something you would see on RLM's Best of the Worst show.

 

[TheHarbinger]

This show has a minuscule budget compared to most other big fantasy or science fiction shows. It doesn't feel like a Fallout world because it doesn't feel like any world at all. It's just green screened backdrops and small sets on stages that are obviously artificial. The reported budget puts it higher than Game of Thrones or Boardwalk Empire but it's definitely not there on screen.

This show also pads each episode's runtime with several minutes of recaps and credit sequences.

 

[Brubby Two]

The worst part is she redditsplained wrong too.

She's the Normie audience surrogate. She needs to mirror their initial impressions, even if those are wrong.

 

[Adam Basile Woodrow]

I think it's a shame that the splinter faction doesn't wear purple (it would also make sense to wear a different color so that you can distinguish your own men when it comes to fighting).

 

[TheAmbiguousLurker]

Have we seen all the Legion footage from the trailers yet? Because I'm half-convinced that the Legion was just a pitstop on this New Vegas Theme Park attraction and won't actually be much of a factor after this point.

 

[Stab You in the Back]

I just want one person to act intelligently towards their own self-interest and/or self-preservation.

This show posits a world where everybody has a near-suicidal level of retardation; a seemingly unawareness of any kind of danger or concern for their own life and safety. It is draining to watch.

The Legion story in particular is a staple in the western/samurai genres: A Lone Wanderer comes to a town where two clans are fighting, has to navigate the politics of the situation before resolving it and going on his way. Classic stuff. Yet its done here so poorly, being so rushed, that its incoherent and loses all meaning. There is no lesson here*. No treatise on the human condition. Its just slop.


*I know the show was trying to make the point about the ghoul following the "golden rule" by helping out the NCR after they gave him his medicine. Don't @ me.

 

[KonradCruise]

I think it's a shame that the splinter faction doesn't wear purple (it would also make sense to wear a different color so that you can distinguish your own men when it comes to fighting).

Aside from ratios of minorities and making sure a WASP is seen keeping blacks out of his nuclear shelter, there is no higher thought being put into anything beyond jangling vaguely fallout shaped keys in your face here. This is Millenial scriptwriting at its finest. You will not find a Lord of the Rings or Black Company here.

I think this may genuinely be worse than Paramounts Master Cheeks halo. The fallout tv show is trying to be extra super serious about le capitalism bad while also being the most flanderized quirkchungus production anyone has yet seen.
