Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to ha...
I’m kinda scared that the trailer was knee deep in “from the ____ who did _____ .”
Granted, it’s a teaser trailer, but it would have been cool to see a little more of what this show has to offer. e.g. The Boyz is great, because the story adapted from it’s source material was already interesting. I’d love to learn more about the story of this adaptation, esp since there’s a lot they’d have to do to turn the non linear, choose your own adventure source material into a non-interactive story.
Feels like the showrunners and story writers would have the opposite challenge of, say, The Last of Us. There, it was all about retelling an existing story and resisting the urge to reinvent too much.
Here they’d need to pick one of many stories and fill in a bunch of gaps.
Even though each game is a player driven RPG, there’s a canon “through line” of major events from 1 to 2 to New Vegas. 3 and 4 are set far enough away or in a different enough period of time that the plot impact is more minor.
Personally though, I hope this is less of an adaptation and more of a “side stories in the setting”.

Hope it works out 🤞🙏
