Get the New Vegas edition. Me and my sons think it’s the best.

There is literally nothing that wouldn't be seen in the Fallout games so far outside of the tranny possibly (and even then you could have a gay marriage in Fallout 2 and there are multiple gay/lesbian characters in the game series, not like it is something out of the realm of possibility).


I don't care at all, but I thought it was just a skinny butch chick, didn't even realize it was a tranny.

I think you can already tell this isn't going to be a woke show. Nolan and Joy have never pushed an agenda in their stories/shows.

They have absolutely nailed the look, feel, and style of the series from what I've seen through 3 episodes. It has been absolutely fantastic all around.


I'm not a video game guy, but two episodes into this show and I'm like yea I'm about to go buy a PS5 and play this

It's almost like you can see they checked the box that Amazon forces in their Disney-like hiring policies

It also felt like they were doing it reluctantly and exited that character stage right the second they could

Glad to see they brought in Michael Emerson and a Belgian Malinois- reminds me of Person of Interest.

The music so far is perfect. It looks like they are going to leave out my favorite track from Fallout 3/4 - Butcher Pete

Butcher Pete would be a difficult song choice to get into a tv show

I honestly thought the same thing, it's rather ambiguous, not like they called it out even if she is. Not that I care either way. Having gay/trans/lesbian characters isn't an issue in the slightest as long as they are well written, and she was a character that moved Max's character arc in an interesting way. That stuff only becomes an issue is it becomes a focus of the show with terrible writing on top of it. Which is many times the case, but not here.

As someone who has beaten every main Fallout title (some several times), this show is a fricking wet dream and so far after two episodes they are absolutely nailing it

I've never played the game at all but I'm loving it. It's nice they put out all the episodes at once they could have really milked this shite.

There is something specific in episode 7 that’ll make you lose your mind in a good way

It's not ambiguous and they did call it out. The tranny is referred to using they/them pronouns. It was 100% cast AND written in.

Trans, yes there is an issue. Was that a gay dude or woman, bro(?) had a mustache!

I enjoyed the first episode!

I'm about 4 episodes in and I don't think I've seen a Nuka Cola yet. Those things were all over the place in the games

Without reading potential spoilers, the first 3 episodes have been outstanding. I’m sure nitpickers have something to say, but from someone perspective that’s not really a gamer, it’s pretty freaking awesome.

Pretty sure Lucy's brother was trying to grab one from a machine in the vault during one of the first three episodes..

I've only watched the first episode. What you describe happened in that episode for sure.
