Is the Fallout TV show ACTUALLY good, or... (in-depth review)

[@Trikiran]

I like how they have three, arguably 4 main protagonists. Reminded me so much of the first game.

[@TripleSLeague]

Lucy, Ghoul, Maximus...who's the fourth?

[@Trikiran]

@@TripleSLeague Maximus's squire. Main protagonists have screen time and stories that can be told if you disguised the other main character they are dealing with. That is how I look at it. If you can tell a characters story independent of other people in the story and there is enough solo screen time, that works for me. Also doggo... Fifth main protagonist.

[@TripleSLeague]

I consider Thaddeus to be a side character, but an important one. I hope we see more of him.

[@cc58721]

Lucys brother I could argue..

[@Trikiran]

@@cc58721 Oh yeah, him too!

While I mostly agree with you, the star trek stuff and references were NOT canon. They were IN the game and it's fine to call that out, but it isn't canon.

It seemed quite clear that the lore only encompasses the Bethesda era. Interplay lore need not apply. I think the show is very good overall even with that limit. One of my main complaints was her immediate identification of and wonder at a Knight of the Brotherhood. She had no basis for the identification much less the wonder. I also have a question for when we talk about the finale. Welcome back guys. I haven't been here nine years but close enough.

Knight as in knight in shining Armour to save the damsel in distress lmao

Should be a male protagonist. I won't watch this.

[@TripleSLeague]

Can you explain why? We've been puzzled by how many people are against the vault dweller being female. It's been an option in every canon Fallout game.

[@thickseed]

@TripleSLeague Females aren't nearly as compelling. Plus, masculine energy and acting from MALES is best for action scenes. I'd wager 90% of players played as males. 95% of females don't even play video games anyway.

[@Trikiran]

You are aware there are 4 main characters, 3 of which are men and they are the ones in most of the action scenes. Lucy does not even have the majority of screen time.. I think you are confusing this show with halo, new witcher season or amazon's lotr. Walton's Character is clearly the main protagonist.

[@TripleSLeague]

If you don't find stories about females compelling then I guess that's personal taste, but she's the only female of the three central characters, and for me is tied with the Ghoul in terms of being compelling and interesting. She doesn't bust out of the vault kicking butt and taking names; she's someone who's life gets turned upside down and is thrust into a world she doesn't understand. It's well written, and her story really doesn't work with a male character.
