Fallout TV Show VERY good

[craldark]

After finding I could easily cancel after the free trial month I decided to join Amazon Prime.

I had no high expectations. The first episode was fine. It held my interest from start to finish. The style was about right with a mix of humor, drama, and serious violence. Yes, tiny weak spots one could nitpick but it takes a lot to hold my attention. The scenes were mostly fast-moving (one exception dragged a bit.) Video quality is moderate. Yes, it's 4K but not pin-sharp, high-quality 4K. Sound for me like many movies is spoilt because of the extreme dynamic range. Turn up the volume for speech, turn it down for noise (but not as bad as some in that respect.)

I enjoyed it. To anyone who's never played FO4, this series will look quite original and in a very unusual style.

If you're a hardcore FO4 obsessive then maybe don't watch it if you're just trying to match it to some preconceived notion of what you think it should be. For me, I accept it for what it is and I'm starting straight away on Episode 2!

It is so full of liberal Hollywood 'Woke' crap it's like watching a new Disney movie made for programming children's brains...
I couldn't finish the 2nd episode.

Seem like you missed the point of the original premise of Fallout: Post Nuclear Role-playing Game.

Better play other franchise, son.

Can't wait for season 2, what they're teasing is fantastic. And another timeline divergent it seems, 2277.

The last few episodes, especially the big reveal about why and who dropped the first bomb, were a poor decision in my opinion, especially doing that in the first season. They shouldn't have revealed it at all, and now it really kills the appeal of the mystery surrounding the Great War. The story is mostly fine, but I didn't like what they did to the factions of the West Coast; it rendered the entire storyline of Fallout New Vegas pointless.

Got the same feel, everything Obsidian built on the West Coast feels like it was replaced by a worse version or something entirely new. It felt like a middle finger to Obsidian to me.

The portrayal of how the brotherhood treat squires is appalling and flies in the face of the brotherhood being close-knit family.

They also made power armor useless in the dark which is the most asinine thing in the show, apparently every headlamp is broken and no one has recon sensors or targeting hud in their power armor

The story is almost non-existent id argue. We get a Macguffin we know nothing about but everyone wants and knows about somehow, until the final episode and even when we learn what it is they don't explain it at all, it just is.

I've watched the first two episodes so far and enjoyed both of them. They're still laying the foundation for the show, introducing the characters, fleshing out the world. I expect it to get better as it goes along. I have no idea what people are talking about when they say the first two episodes were "woke".

the power armor looks and moves like cosplay.

That is a chapter thing, hopefully. The head cleric also mentioned the quality of recruits had gone downhill when he said loyalty was something he had not seen in a while.

I would assume it is the vault life that is woke? I do not think these people understand that vault life was woke before being woke was even a thing. Not even really woke either, it is just blind obedience which is what Vault Tec and the Enclave were aiming for.

Fallout aint Warhammaer 40k. The first versions of power armor are going to be big and clunky. T-60 is technically the third generation set. To get what you were wanting would also mean building a working set for real, including the movement and weight.

I think they did Power Armor just fine. It behaves like how i would expect it. You dont wear it, you stand in a frame with armor plates bolted on.

The only questionable thing I saw was the remote control of the arm in fight outside Filly.
