The shopkeepers “Fuck vault dwellers” speech has my hopes up that this show won’t be lib trash, but I dislike that the main girl is really Libby about Vault-Tec “Um actually you’re technically stealing Vault-Tec property which is wrong” also lol at her still having perfect eyeliner after being in the wasteland for days.
And not liking how one of the “good guys” is a Brotherhood of Steel type, I really hope they don’t make the Brotherhood a “good” faction because they kinda aren’t.
I’m assuming it’s a character arc thing and things become less lib later, here’s hoping. Because this show is freaking awesome in every other aspect. They really nailed the tone and setting. The sets and props are so cool as well.
I’m assuming The Ghoul isn’t as mean as he first appears because he didn’t hurt that chicken, and he fixed up the dog.
sigh I miss @UlyssesT@hexbear.net, he would have had so much to say about this show.
The show will deliver.
The girl grew up in a vault under propaganda.
The brotherhood is not the fallout 3/4 branch.
Lucy wants to make the world better. Truly deeply, but has no understanding of the world or what better means.
Good, that’s what I was hoping (that it’s going to do some growth and these characters are going to have to examine the propaganda they’ve been raised on)
The brotherhood actually are partly the east coast branch. The airship is the one from 4.
Fallout 4 says that Maxson reunited both east and west faction (no comment on semi-canon Midwest group from Tactics) to create the new fascist BoS in that game. Which is what is in the show.
Oh dang. I didn’t realize.
I assumed they were West Coast because they were fucking losers and not the Bestest Good Guys from Fallout 3?
The ones in 4 had a much more old-school BoS ideology. The old elder died, his heir disappeared (presumed dead?), and the next guy changed them back, reintegrated the outcasts, and rejoined the main faction over the radio. Imo it’s kind of a lazy retcon. But yeah anyway IIRC the airship that shows up in the show is the same one that they had on the east coast in 4 (the Prydwen).
This also establishes that the BoS ending in 4 is canon because IIRC it gets blowed up in every other ending.
Small correction, minutemen don’t have to blow up the prydwyn, you can if you want to but it’s a bit like parthanax, you don’t have to to progress the story
It makes sense, of course the people LARPing as colonizers would support the fascists.
