1. Nerds create hobby that is fun and interesting. They establish rules that keep the hobby as good as it is. 2. More nerds join in and follow the rules. Hobby experiences its golden age. 3. Newcomer nerds advertise the hobby to their normie friends. Normies enjoy the hobby but don't care as much. 4. Demographics shift and there are more and more normies enjoying the hobby. They attract even more casual audience. 5. Casuals find the hobby fun but demand it to be dumbed down and rules to be relaxed so they can enjoy it. 6. Corporates take interest in the hobby and approach nerds. Corporates bribe nerds and take control of the hobby. 7. Corporates dumb down and deregulate the hobby to increase mass appeal. Normies and casuals outnumber nerds. 8. Hobby is no longer recognizable. Many nerds leave in disgust. The audience becomes more and more casual. 9. The creative spark of the hobby dies. It becomes corporate and sterile. Normies lose interest and leave. 10. Hobby slowly dies. Casuals leave because everyone else leaves. 11. Nerds look for ways to create something new. 12. Repeat.

@@georgeray1906 It is not easy. I've seen examples of the communities that've zealously protected their hobby. They encounter another problem - lack of funds.

This is just a continuation of Bethesda's totally surface level writing. They simply are not creative enough to envision "post post apocalypse" only "post apocalypse".

They cannot allow NCR to survive, they must make Mr House an idiot and a full on villian instead of morally grey. This is fallout 4 writing but put into a show made for tourists.

[@derlon858]

i do agree with some points but house is totally a villain, he seems fair just because being fair facilitates being in power, if he has to anything to keep power he will do it, he tries to be smart about it because his body is a mummy so he cant even escape if someone assaults his tower, the courier can witness him in all his rotting glory, NCR was condemned to fail because of corruption, the legion would fail once caesar dies them their generals would fight between theirselves and none might have the capacity to unify and drive the legion like before, BoS are stuck in cycle of being limited by their own ideologies, search old tech but never recuperate any industrial capacity or political structure to become a real power, the enclave you need to play the first two games to get a picture of them, they are not so simple either and fallout 3 didnt do them justice, this all can play in the theory that humanity doesnt build itself again cause they are awfully mutaded, devoid of any knowledge and experience of the old world, the ghouls became either feral or embraced survivalism of the fittest, and the people theirselves can have their dna extremely degraded from inbreeding, radiation and exposure to biological weapons on the surface, not the mention being plagued by easy acess and nothing holding back drug abuse, be it either pre war drugs or new ones like jet, if house is alive in here i think hes the one who destroyed shady sands cause it was competition to his gambling drug empire, you need to remind how cities were in fallout 1 and 2, controlled by gangsters or police states and there were slavers everywhere rounding up tribals, so some spots of seemingly civilized trade hubs do happen, but everyonelse will them want to pillage it, wich is even the background for the hoover dam, where ncr battled BoS and BoS got crippled, them the legion came and new vegas was in the middle of it all, so id assume house dealt with the legion somehow and also dealt with the ncr, if anything hes not portrayed as stupid if it was him, but as a isolated trade hub that destroyed his larger rivals and in the spirit of new vegas game decisions.

It's Bethesda-Fallout to its core. There are some good moments, but the overall tone and style is not what I would have wished for in a Fallout series.

The interesting thing about shows like these and Picard is that I've noticed there seems to be a very distinct racial/gender-based hierarchy established according to the portrayals of the characters: - White women are usually portrayed as competent and morally good - Black men are usually portrayed as incompetent but morally good - Black women are usually portrayed as competent but morally evil - White men are usually portrayed as both incompetent and morally evil There are some exceptions to these rules due to casting but generally, according to proportion of the number of characters depicted in each manner, this is pretty accurate across the board for most television series produced after 2020.

There are many more problems: Shady Sands is placed completely wrong. In the series it is directly within LA, while it should be in North California, between Vault 13 and 15, Shady Sands was founded by the Vault 15 members. I reconized it, while Fallout 1 is actuell the one and only Fallout I ever touched and before I read some Wikia and comments stuff in forums and blogs. Also while Shady Sands is the core and capital of the NCR, the NCR is a big faction, a republic with a large area, what means, even when the Capital should be destroyed, that doesn't mean, that the rest fall apart into nothing. But in the series, the NCR is completely opsolete in the first place, no remains of it, just the typcial civilizing stagnation and archany from Gaythesda Fallout. While the actuell rest of the supposed NCR ist introduced as Raiders, rapists, murders and the other survivors of Shady Sans are idiots, cannibals and religious morons. Also Vault 4, 31, 32 and 33 doens't make any sense, Vault 4 is also directly in LA and it's entrance is inside a large obviously concrete coffin, also the other three Vaults are part of LA and not hiden that well, what means, that the protagonists of F1 and 2 should stumble across those Vaults and the Master had easely broke into it before. Then why is the Enclave still existent in the western cost and why does the Brotherhood do duty for them, it was obliterated by the protagonist in F2 with help of the Brotherhood and the NCR. The Enclave saw themself as a kind of supremeness over the other humans and civilisations, the wanted to kill the remain survivors and postwar civilisations in the wasteland (so also every member of the Vaults, Brotherhood and NCR) and mutants and set themself as the last humand bastion. The whole experimentation thing is portrayed complete wrong in the show, while the Vaults were constructed as safety shelters as a result of the operation Safehouse, it was the Enclave (at that time the shadow goverment of the USA), what (ab)used the bunkers as Labs, for their former plans to construct a spacehip and colonize an other planet. And know the racial thing, while in the case to be diverse, the showrunners portray us societies with obviously members of different human races living tight together. Know we take Vault 33 as an example, we have explicit blacks, whites and tans, while those humans live for 219 years together. While there is a strict breeding program, but obviously this doesn't involved the race in the sense of racial segregation, because it doesn't matter, if a black one is a manager and overseer or not, and even Lucy had no problem to jump on Fin... eh Maxi-Pad. So in the sense of diversity in the case racial mixing, after 219 years, there shouldn't be that diversity after all, we've got seen in the show. The inhabitants of Vault 33 should look more or less equal. This is the problem of many modern shows, like The Witcher or The Ring of Powers, diversity can only exist through seperation, when you mix everything, everything becomes the same, this is Communism.

I haven't ever played any of the Fallout games, but even ignoring lore destruction (which I hate even if it's a franchise I'm not familiar with) it just sounds like terrible writing across the board. It seems like so many writing problems that come from a first draft, not a finished show. It's almost as if they put a bunch of ideas up on a board, and instead of trying to figure out what would work and what wouldn't work, they just decided to go with all of it without setting anything up. Also, one of the things that I hate in these type of stories (and maybe it goes into more detail about it in the show if you watch it, which I am not going to), is how they always have to have so many girlboss characters at the front and center when it's like, this is a postapocalyptic wasteland. Sure there can be a few female soldiers, or maybe women are taught to defend themselves. But _realistically_ they would want to protect and preserve as many of the breedable women as possible to ensure the continuation of mankind. There's a reason why the women were sent to the caves in Helm's Deep, for example. Not because they wanted to keep women oppressed, but because if Rohan was going to have any chance to survive, the women and children needed to live. For Fallout to have not just a breedable female in a postapocalyptic story, but a PREGNANT woman in a postapocalyptic story be fighting in battle, is not just bizzare- it's stupid.

The show overall is average, or mediocre. The writing is crap but the action set pieces were pretty cool, and the ghoul as an actor nailed his preformance. Not a good show, but not a terrible one either. To me, the only reason people praise it so damn high is because it's not the bottom of the barrel crap that we usually get.

[@savekla]

Imo action scenes were pretty ass too. Mostly because of plot armor and plain dumb things some characters decide to do. Ghoul is invincible and his enemies are incompetent. He manages to take out like half of his opponents in Filly before they even try to shoot him. Then he can't kill Max and Max can't kill him because they're both main characters. That's why ghoul uses shotgun against power armor instead of using his knowledge of weakspot or shooting those mini-rockets. And that is also why Max decides to just throw the ghoul around instead of breaking him in half or splitting his head using power armor's super strength. In a last episode BoS guys just stand there and look at the ghoul while he rambles about power armor's weakspot. And when the light goes out they don't use their headlamps but just shoot randomly and miss every shot. Ghoul doesn't shoot axolotl-mutant-thingy with his guns but pokes it with a pointy stick because story writers need a reason for him to abandon head and go sell Lucy to organ harvesters. Axolotl is killed later in a dumbest way possible, by Max pulling out it's guts using Tad (how lucky Tad didn't just get ripped apart). Also so much missed potential. They really added iron man's flight to power armor for it to be used only couple of times: when Max enters the scene in a cool way, when Max leaves the scene in a goofy aaah looney tunes way, and when Lucy's dad leaves to by milk in New Vegas. Ghoul has mini-rockets for his gun but only uses them against naked unarmored hobos, not even doing some crazy trickshots to utilize the explosive ammo (he does kill one random enemy with a blast after he misses the shot). Power armor is super strong but that strength only comes into play a couple of times and under dumbest circumstances. They could have made a show with shittiest writing imaginable (which they already kinda achieved), but make some epic reddit gold action scenes with BoS knights flying around in power armor ripping mutants appart Doom Eternal style, while Baddas Ghoul cowboy outsmarts his enemies with sick gunplay using special ammo for his custom made revolver. But instead we get this mess, where nobody apart from Ghoul knows how to shoot a gun like they're playing fallout 1 with 10% in gun skills. SAD.
