Fallout, the game series, is way better at lore than story, in my opinion, and that's what makes it such a great setting for well-written stories like this adaptation. They can literally 1:1 all of the visual assets and pull from a well developed cultural and geo-political landscape, and yet there isn't any specific character that they really have to 'get right', other than, like, Mr. Handy. That's a huge advantage for a good creative team.
Yeah Fallout is more of a setting than anything, and that’s why it’s perfect for an adaptation like this. It benefited great from the fact that they didn’t really have to adapt any characters or any single storyline, but simply created a new story and characters in that world and it still be a faithful adaptation
Excuse you. If they get Fisto wrong I will riot.
