Yeah, sex scene and sex jokes was a bit surprising, compared to how tame Bethesda games are on stuff like that. Well, at least the unmodded ones.
But didn’t scare me away after first episode either. Looks promising.
I was laughing at all the YouTube videos last month “this is why the fallout show will suck!”. People are such haters. It’s not like the fallout games were known for their Oscar winning dialogue and plot, so as soon as I saw that the show has the exact same aesthetic I knew they could pull it off. I liked the first episode i saw.
Glad I didn’t watch with my kids though lol that sex scene came out of nowhere, but the gore I was happy about. Cause the games are pretty damn gory.

I’m actually happy to hear that. I was afraid it would take too much inspiration from the Bethesda games, but sounds like maybe they looked more at Fallout 1 and 2, which would be just what I hoped they would.
I’m excited to give it a chance now.
Mine are teenagers, and that sex scene made me a little nervous at first, but I’m glad they didn’t make it very graphic.
The Ghoul definitely took the Bloody Mess perk! 😂
Gore in games always bothers me less, it feels more cartoony. I’m not asking for them to take it out, but I would like a “for babies” mode that blurs it. I felt a little sick to my stomach at a few points.
I didn’t realize there would be sex scenes in it. Glad to know before I started watching. I miss the days when it was pretty safe to watch anything. I wish all these producers would realize that some people have families and that we don’t need sex scenes and nudity in everything.
The only nudity is a male butt, but there is no question that they are having sex. I was comfortable with my 15&16yo teenagers watching it, but might be awkward with middle schoolers.
having sex in the communial wedding dress too
At least within that context, the scene made sense.

Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas are well known for high quality dialogue and plot. The Bethesda games on the other hand…

Nobody remembers fallout 1 and 2. If it wasn’t for Bethesda, fallout would be a dead series nobody remembers. The only reason fallout is relevant and even has a tv is because of Bethesda buying it. It’s their series now, and their interpretation of it is the only one that matters.

Plenty of people remember and adore the first two games, and even tactics. Bethesda’s version of Fallout is great, and so are the originals. Get over yourself.

Like I mentioned to someone else, fallout 1 and 2 sold 750k copies combined.
Fallout 3, nv and 4 sold 50 million copies combined.
I’m responding to people shitting on Bethesda’s version of fallout and wishing the show was more like the first two games, and I’m responding with “most people don’t know the first two games, Bethesda fallout is The mainstream”. Am I wrong?

I don’t see how those games being less remembered discredits the fact they had solid writing and plot.
Popularity contest does not correlate with high quality.

I’m responding to people complaining that the show is more like bathesda fallout than the first 2 games. I’m explaining why. Because popularity and mainstream appeal. I’m sorry you don’t like facts
SquirtleHermit@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Okay, disregarding how terrible of a take that was, which part of your rant was relevant to the fact that Bethesda has serious writing issues?
Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Fallout 1 sold 600k copies. Fallout 2 sold 125k.
Fallout 3 sold 12 million Copies. Fallout 4 sold 25 million copies.
I guess my point is that you have no argument. Bethesda fallout is undeniably the dominant and mainstream version of fallout that people know.

By the looks of this thread, we’re a lot of nobodys.

PC gamers who are shitting all over Bethesda and the tv show, you’re not the target audience cause you’re unpleasable. I’ve met tons of people who’ve played fallout 3, nv and 4. But rarely meet anyone who has played 1 and 2, and I’m talking about the real world not your PC gamer forums

Pre bathesda- 750k copies of fallout 1 and 2 combined sold.
Post bathesda- 50 million copies of fallout 3,nv, and 4 combined sold.
I mean if those numbers don’t say it for you, I don’t know what will.

Fallout 1 has a high quality plot? That’s new.
