    I though the writing was so bad. Only the franchise carried it over being forgettable. I mean the black main character is so badly written, most of what he does doesn’t make sense if you look further then some very flat character development. I hope they can improve and remove some of the cringe elements. I love Fallout, but it has a diffent humor, the show didn’t manage to replicate much.

      I watched 40% of the second episode, holy shit was that writing just awful. I stopped watching after they get attacked in the cave. One of the worst directed scenes I’ve ever watched. The tone is just all over the place, is it funny? Is it scary? What the fuck is the acolyte doing? What does he want?

      That whole episode (up until I stopped watching) was just such a disaster. I don’t know what any of the characters want or why I should care about them.

    Notes to writers and producers.

    IF👏 YOU👏 MAKE👏 AN👏 ADAPTATION👏 THAT👏 IS👏 FAITHFUL👏 TO👏 THE👏 ORIGINAL,👏 YOU👏 WILL👏 MAKE👏 LOTS👏 OF👏 MONEY.👏

    Witcher died when they started changing things

    Rings of Power died when they started changing things

    Game of Thrones died when they ran out of source material

    Halo died when they started changing things

    It has nothing to do with race, or gender, or whatever bullshit you hide behind for your ego trips. Take your ego out of the equation. Stop thinking “I can improve on this”. No, you can’t. People love this. Just write this. Stop thinking “oh, this would be so much better if I added–” NOPE. Stop. Even if you’re extending the canon, consult the original authors. And if the original authors say “this doesn’t really match the tone”, then FUCKING REWRITE IT UNTIL IT MATCHES THE TONE.

      It’s interesting that people are saying that this is so faithful, considering that they totally messed up the history of the California region. >!The series basically took place in NCR, but they just lazily disregarded the whole rebuilt NCR civilization and turned it into the east coast Bethesda wasteland. So what, did the NCR collapse back into wasteland in a decade or so too? Give me a break.!<
