.... at minimum... in order to be fully invested you would have needed to play through Fallout 3 and New Vegas . .

Best video game adaptation of all time and it's not even close. I love being a Bethesda fan :blessed:

. . . im still wondering if that Securitron laying on the floor next to Mr. House's monitors was supposed to be 'Yes Man' that somehow got destroyed . . . . we also didnt see Mr. House body in the life-support machine . ..

I started the show when it first dropped but only watched an episode and a half because life got in the way. The last two weeks I watched the two seasons and greatly enjoyed it. It's amazing that the show has the budget it does.

Never as a kid playing video games would I think we'd get something like this and Twisted Metal.

The only character I don't care about it is Lucy's brother and his storyline.

Are the rumors true about the Fallout 3/NV/4 remakes? I want to play the games but if a remake is coming I'll wait. I played 3 on the 360 but never beat it. I have 4 on Steam and never finished it even though it says I have 110 hours of playtime:russ:

As expected, it really picked up once they got to Vegas, switched up the pairings (i.e. Lucy with her father, and the Ghoul with a number of characters), and focused more on peeling back layers of the plot/mystery. 2nd half of the season was more interesting and focused than the first half, tho the first half provided the “necessary” setup.

Ep 8 was great and left me eager to return back for season 3

I might be wrong but in the yes man ending for new vegas the yes man securitron ends up in that same position at the end of the quest line. Which hints that show is using the yes man ending.

In the finale, Mr House mentions people breaking in and beating his body with a crowbar.

Sounds like they're going with an ending where the "real" Mr House's body died (as a result of Yes Man) during the events of FNV.... But that what Yes Man didn't know is that Robert House had used his technology to "back up" his brain in what he called "Roboticized Non-Biological Form". The problem was, restoring the backup required all the power from the Cold Fusion diode...power from Hoover Dam wasn't enough.

So, New Vegas has been just sitting there leaderless until the Ghoul came along.



I'm kind of mixed on the finale episode. I feel like the left too many loose ends (especially given how long breaks are between TV seasons nowadays).
Plus...for the first time I'm really wondering how people unfamiliar with the games' events would be able to really understand everything that happened in the last few episodes. For example....if you didn't already KNOW that the president was a member of something called "The Enclave", would a non-game player be able to really make that connection?

I never played NV and I got the message. House/Ghoul literally explained... Then they showed it again.. He hands it to the President and The Enclave is where it comes from in Season 1
