I have a morbid curiosity to play 76 now but ehhhhh I'd rather just do the new vegas DLCs

After they added NPCs and quests the game got genuinely fun for what it is. Not like as a replacement for NV by any means though, but it's better than fallout 4 (not a hard thing to accomplish lol)

It's free if you have prime gaming or w/e I think too.

i keep forgetting that 76 even exists. One of the main cards in the MTG fallout thing is The Wise Mothman* and i had zero clue where the gently caress it was from so I assumed it was from one of the new vegas expansions that I never played, but probably should. It never occured to me that it could be from 76

He also created "Life of the Party" for Thief 2, and if you have a level like that in your resume you can get away with all the dumb comic-book-tier retcons you want and also probably at least one murder.

It is. Enjoying the gently caress out of it. It appears to be set sometime around the events of New Vegas. The plot borrows a lot from both New Vegas and Fallout 3 while 4 is almost entirely ignored (which is a good thing). They go over the top with campy violence and it nails the vibe of the games perfectly.

E: They did have one monster from Fallout 76 apparently(?) that I hadn't seen before but we'll cut them a little slack. It's just the right mix of goofy, nihilistic and incredibly violent.

Ahhh I have like 3 episodes left. Please don't ruin it. I assumed it had to be pre-fallout 4 because the Institute isn't around and the Enclave still exists. Also the Dogmeat stand-in is absolutely perfect. Best boy girl. I also love that they lampshade stimpacks as "magical healing devices" because that's basically what they are and no one bats an eye when giant mortal stab wounds are healed instantly.

Yeah 100%. It just absolutely nails the mood and I struggle to think of another game to show adaptation that did it this well (maybe the first couple seasons of The Witcher). Whoever made this show is a big fan of the games and it shows. Also lmao that Michael Rappaport demanded to have a cameo in the show because he's a fan and just ends up being Michael Rapport, poo poo talking his squire and then immediately being mauled to death by a Yao Guai

They also stay pretty true to the factions. The Brotherhood of Steel behaves exactly like it does in the games with the same motivations and same bullshit dogma. Enclave is the Enclave. Haven't run into any super mutants yet but I did see a NCR flag :3:

Also also, the CGI on the vertibirds is pretty drat solid although the power armor CGI needs work. I did like the fact that they call out that the BoS is rocking T-60 suits.

he was real in fallout 2 and then a computer replaced him in 3 and in fallout 76 which takes place long before fallout 2 the enclave cell in the applachian mountains lost contact with the oil rig because of a technical error in their vault and so the secretary of agriculture declared himself president

Yeah I never played 76. After 4 I tapped out. I figured some 76 lore might play into the show because of the gulper which I didn't recognize and had to look up. Cool monster though. Like, say what you want about the show but it is faithful to the games to a fault. If you're the type of person who likes picking out easter eggs, they throw dozens at you every few minutes. Tiny details like food brands up to hints at character origins, bobbleheads etc. Goggins' character is basically a cross between Boone from FO3 and the Vault-tec rep from FO4 with a little bit of Nick Valentine thrown in for good measure.

It does apparently. I thought they were those salamander things from FO4 until i saw inside its mouth and said "WTF". Googled it and apparently it's from 76. They are called gulpers

Blink and you'll miss it but Goggins' character mutters something about gulpers when he catches up with Lucy.

Yeah I thought they were on the east coast despite the vault dweller seeing Santa Monica Pier upon emerging but I figured it might have been Atlantic City. Palm trees confirmed that they were all indeed in LA. The BoS base looks suspiciously like Nellis AFB from FO3 but there are no boomers so.

I'm wondering what secret the decapitated scientist's head holds but since it's the Enclave and they keep talking about revitalizing the wasteland and changing the world, I gotta assume it's the G.E.C.K. and if I'm right, I'm going to nerd out so hard.

It did. They don't really touch on FO4s plot at all. The nod to the water chip going bad/being destroyed makes it pretty clear where the show runners are taking their inspiration from.

I played Fallout 4 for the first time last year and had a lil fun with it at first. Always cheating my punching to max dmg and having a lol, never really respecting the story/lore. Then a quest glitched with an invisible enemy and I stopped playing
