It's a very different show from Rick and Morty. You should give it a shot!

Bojack Horseman is fun but also sad a lot

#

Really great if you’re into Hollywood celebrities and gossip

#

Has wordplay to rival Letterkenny, no where near the pace though

I completely agree, but i think that's took a step over being a character someone would play in a video game. No protagonist in entirety of Fallout has had that many connects to so much.
He made vault boy, he met House, he gave cold fusion to the Enclave, unintentionally having something to do with dropping the bombs (since apparently the enclave drops the nukes now, a complete retcon to the classics)

And that's only a few things he's done in the show. If it wasn't canon, this could be excused more as a playthrough type situation, even if it's still outrageous..

#

I think that's ok. That's part of media, some protagonists having a wider role than others

#

If anything, I appreciate that they can go kind of wild with Goggin's character. The video game protagonists also end up accomplishing similar momentous feats but they're limited to the time and space their title takes place in for the most part

#

At the going rate, I don't think the identity will be revealed with any way at all.

#

With how people reacted to the alternate timeline Master Chief face reveal in the Halo series, I don't hold any confidence of the courier will have any reveal without the internet going rabid.

#

And probably not a gamble the producers will want to take.

#

The Courier showing up would be so lame imo. This ain’t about them

#

Surely the cameo in the last episode was all that was needed.

And yeah the courier shouldn’t be revealed.

Bro that’s an NCR ranger not the courier 😂

red forge
#

Well they certainly made it look like the courier.

nocturne axle
#

The courier doesn’t wear NCR gear, they’re just portrayed that way in media from the picture of the game. If anything it’d be the courier duster from LS.

red forge
#

Ok, whatever. Either way, I don't think they're going to risk any identity reveal of the courier.

# red forge Well they certainly made it look like the courier.

@red forge @nocturne axle The one singular time the Courier's been definitively depicted in NCR ranger armor is in Fallout: Wasteland Warfare, which isn't necessarily canonizing that that's the Courier in the show because A. none of NV's own ingame depictions of the Courier have them in ranger armor (during the intro they're wearing a caravaneer outfit with a cowboy hat and work gloves) and B. NV depicts the Courier in more than one outfit.

#

They're not showing off the main character on the cover per se, they're showing off the new armor the main character can now wear as is Fallout tradition.

red forge
#

I really need to get around to playing more than 5 minutes of NV 😅

sturdy tundra
#

It's that it was revealed for basically 95% of the show. He would put his helmet on for literally a couple minutes and then take it back off.

#

And they tried to push the "well you need to see their face because something something emotional connection" thing as if the Master Chief in main canon hasn't completely invalidated that for over two decades (as have many, many other characters from other works like the Mandalorian (SW itself goes all the way back to Darth Vader and droids like R2-D2 on that, and of course Boba Fett in the OT generally)). 80% of our communication is through body language.

#

They didn't need to show his face, and nothing they showed in general was all that compelling.

sturdy tundra
#

Frankly the Mandalorian is the operative work here because it was already ongoing when Halo came out. Halo had no excuse.

latent bay
#

Halo was just appauling

red forge
sturdy tundra
#

Even if the Halo show as part of the main canon, it was still majorly messing up with its depictions of pretty much everything.

#

Again, they were trying to push "you have to see their faces" as if the Mandalorian wasn't right there disproving that.

#

When we do see Djin's face, it's earned and situational. When he finally resolves to taking his helmet off by choice, it's because he's developed as a character over multiple season to reach that point.

#

MC meanwhile makes a point of keeping it on for the most part. He does take it off on occasion, but for practical purposes it is his face. Everyone else might have their helmets off and he'll just be the one dude sitting there still in full armor, because that's what he knows as a person.

#

He's literally the face of the Spartans in multiple ways.

@sturdy tundra don't get dragged down by New Vegas stans man, they will never like the show, it is what it is. Can't fight emotion with logic. I respect the effort though 🤝

#

And I did like series 1 despite its flaws so nice try Enclave

sturdy tundra
#

That's a really bad-faith argument to make, regardless if you're right or not.

#

Badmouthing other people just invites more arguments.

I suggest that everyone move on from arguing about the tv show. It's fine to keep discussing it, as that is what this channel is for, but the arguments back and forth have run their course.

I don’t think I can do polls in this channel, but I have a question for everyone! If someone in the main 3 were to be killed off in the show, who would you choose/not mind as much as the others?

Ghoul = Enclave

Lucy = VaultTec

Maximus BoS

Sorry maximus but I didnt care for you in s2 compared to s1 VaultBoyConfused

Apologies for the morbid question, I’m just curious and thought it would be fun to ask VaultBoySunglasses

Mind you lucy nearly didnt make the cut

Lol for real though!!

Norman's plotline really f ed me off, i was very interested in where it could have gone but it ended up a nothing burger

Lucy getting on my NERVES with her nonsense! The way she was incorrectly nagging the Legion.. why didn’t they kill her immediately VaultBoyConfused

#

I also hate how dumb the BoS have become, s1 I actually liked the idea behind them being a religious cult

#

S2 they have moron paladins gunning down pre war tech for lolz, pissing around with live grenades with their higher ups present and having nobody guard the cold fusion so anyone can just steal it

nocturne axle
#

I actually dislike the cult like idea. I think them extremely strict was enough, and it shows their inability to change and adapt which leads to their downfall west coast

latent bay
#

Understandable

nocturne axle
#

But you’re right idk what they were thinking with the BOS anyways. They seem awfully chill for things like paladins playing around with grenades, exploding pre war tech, etc.

#

Makes you wonder how they got so far

latent bay
#

Yea it's a mess which is a shame

I mean, the Ghoul took down like half a dozen of them in Power Armor.

sturdy tundra
#

Also reminder that the BOS has been decaying since the original game. They'd already largely forgotten Roger Maxson's actual ideals the first time we ever see them.

#

Likewise their authoritarian takeover was literally their F1 ending if Rhombus died. And whether or not he canonically survived F1, he's probably long dead by now (assuming he isn't a ghoul which would be its own can of worms).

nocturne axle
#

Almost all of them the entire time 1-NV they are intelligent even after losing most of their men to the NCR during the battle of Helios One, but are very strict in following the rules of the Codex which involves isolation, and makes them “stupid” in that way. That doesn’t mean they’re morons-morons, like they would blow up tech for no reason morons. That goes against the very point of the Brotherhood.

#

And even if you do excuse it as “they only have stupid people now” which is a gigantic stretch, how can you possibly explain the stupidity of the Legion and NCR? Did all the main factions get dumb within a span of 15 years?

Hi currently watching season 2 of the fallout series. Why did they switch out the German shepherd in season 1 to a Belgian malinoi in season 2 of the TV show?

#

My understanding is the intended breed has never been made clear, just like Dogmeat's origin(s) overall in the series.

#

The breed in FO4 is a german shepherd because it's modelled directly on the pet of one of the devs.

faint elbow
#

Dogmeat isn't even the same dog across the games. And Dogmeat in Fallout 1/2 was not a german shepherd based on old art of it.

red forge
#

Also, the inspiration for Dogmeat to begin with, was a Cattle dog.

plush quest
#

In all likelihood Dogmeat is canonically a super mutt

#

I can’t imagine there’s a huge demand for pure pet pedigree post apocalypse
