That's a good point. They were profiting from the resource wars, could have sold the solution at any price they wanted and make even more money, or they could... destroy the world so they could do science experiments. Character/faction motivations are definitely my biggest problem with the show's writing.

I like how in the show everybody is playing by King of the Hill rules so if you take out Shady Sands, the Republic just falls apart. Man, it almost seems like writers have no sense of scale.
I would like to take a moment and say the T-45/T-whatevernumber looks like shit and I hate it.

I'd say it's supposed to be T-60, but there parts of it that look slightly different.

Judging from Todd's games knowing as much or more than him hardly qualifies you as an expert I ain't gonna lie

It wasn't, 2277 is the "Fall of Shady Sands" then the next event, which is conveniently left ambigous, is Shady Sands being nuked. But there are other massive retcons.
Fallout 3 was just too mind blowing back then, so the avalanche of new fans easily outnumbered unsatisfied old fans.
You could say the same thing about Star wars OT fans and Prequel Trilogy, which I understand and support sometimes. Sequel trilogy is like this Fallout TV show, they're not bad products, watchable, but lore, setting and story is fucked.

Hey Homer, please try to edit a previous post instead of making a new one. As I've already been politely, if not somewhat sarcastically reminded to do so recently by the mods.

Only if you were a baby. Getting mindblown by Fallout 3 when the game looked worse than some Gamecube games and played worse than the original Doom is hilarious.

I guess people had low standarts back then, but it certainly was a hit, if it got GOTY.
And yeah, I was like 6 when it came out, my older brother installed it for me, it was my introduction to the series. Did it not age well...

Like that matters.

Well whatever it is it looks dumb and I hate it. T-51b has always been the better design.
The only award that counts is the KWABOTY Todd got when he made his sad face at the game awards when he thought Starfield was gonna win.

I’ve never liked how lazy the T-60 design was. Just a bulkier T-45 which I actually liked that Power Armor design. Should’ve made it a post-war invention of the BOS after the Enclave’s defeat and given us a cross design with T-51 and APA, perhaps even sprinkle in Tesla tech into the higher ranking members. But of course that would be too complex for Bethesda.

I was, in fact! It's not nice to judge a book by it's green tinted grey rocks. You all act like the original games were graphical eye-candy. They looked old when they came out, although I can't deny the style and aesthetic choices. The fact that some of us youngsters can go back in time and enjoy your glorified point-and-click pixelated adventure games speaks to the fact that graphics alone aren't the judge of a game's merit. We just value game features on a different scale. No matter how much world building you put into a top-down turn-based pixel adventure, I'll still value a third-person game more because it's inherently easier for me to get absorbed into. If visual immersion didn't matter you guys never would have put GURPS down to play the first Fallout.

Jokes on you, I put down RTS games to play Fallout.

I first watched the man of recaps video first and I couldn't believe what the show was about, I always liked nuka break and shoddycasts videos they even had the original fallout 1 writers as a cameo and it was actually engaging and I was invested. Especially red star was my favorite and in contrast to the tv show I feel there is so much wasted potential, a random indie production makes better content than some studio houses, I don't think it's the actors fault just the writers because everyone acts so dull and obnoxious it's getting on my nerves. Reads like a wattpad fanfic, but I guess I'll stick around a bit and see where it leads to, maybe we'll see the divide or joshua graham that would be so awesome!

I don’t think we’ll see Joshua Graham because that would mean they’d have to depict tribals, and after Point Lookout and Honest Hearts where people were offended for stupid reasons, I feel like we’re never getting them back unless they’re cultish raiders. Bethesda seems to love their cults.

That won't stop them from using Graham, he'll probably even be scar free and without bandages. Because we gotta see that recognizable actors face. He'll probably never even bring up tribals.

Honestly I'm excited about season 2 only for the fact that we will finally see what is the canon ending to New Vegas. Is it Mr.House? Caesers legion, NCR, or the divide.

I'd say that's more from being spoiled with modern graphics, as that's usually a big reason why a lot of Bethesda Fallout Fans knock on Fallout/2. I was born in the 90's and while I never experienced the originals until 2011, I was still able to get engrossed in the originals, more so than 3 and later 4. Funnily enough, I have the uncanny ability to experience a game as if I were still a part of the time period it was released in; tempering my expectations.
New Vegas doesn't have a canon ending, though that won't stop them from shoe horning one in though.

Todd Howard: Jonathan Nolan came up to us and said what if the Scorched Plague killed everyone in New Vegas? Wouldn't that be interesting? A completely random event that invalidates a Fallout video game Bethesda didn't make, sign me the hell up.
