My kids and I watched the first two episodes last night, and I'm impressed. It feels like Fallout. I like the characters so far, and they squeeze in enough game references to keep my brain spiking with recognition.

We set the bar pretty low on video game adaptations, but I feel this one's doing alright so far!

What does everyone else think? (Let's keep spoilers to a minimum. Most of us probably weren't able to watch the whole thing in one night.)

I haven't finished the series yet, but I heard >!it was Vault Tech who dropped the nukes!<

If that's the bastardisation you're referring to, it's actually not surprising if you've been paying attention. >!Vault Tech are fucking demons. Half of their vaults are sadistic torture chambers disguised as "experiments", it makes total sense they would have instigated everything!<

You are correct. That, and >!some inconsistencies in the timeline they think rendered NV non canon. However, I think that's an exaggeration.!< Fanboys are gonna fanboy, though. They don't like it because it's not their ideal lore, so they're pretending it isn't canon and getting super dramatic over on reddit. So cringey.

There's SO many suggestions and hints though. Anyone who actually read the lore in terminals and the various journal entries would've seen that coming. It 100% makes sense.

For what it's worth, Bethesda is salty as fuck that the best game in the franchise they had nothing to do with.

Lol yeah, I think I read somewhere they got beef with obsidian and nv.
