Jake Talks Fallout 

Holy shit an hour Jake Talk

I’m sorry, my problem with the live action is the fact it literally destroys any progression we will see on the West Coast. Hope you liked fallout 3/4/76 and locations/factions the citadel brotherhood, the Minutemen with Preston Garvey harassing you for your map/railroad who do literally nothing for the wasteland. The only thing that can save this IP at this point is either going to different locations than what we’ve already gone to before or we see future development from the Midwestern brotherhood Bethesda has been on the fence to canonize for eons.

I’m sorry, the enclave was a country spanning power. They wouldn’t all die because of three locations in Washington and California. Ngl, I will always stand by the fact the institute should’ve just been a splinter cell of the enclave, and it would’ve made way more sense

I thought the show did a great job of telling a story within itself and touched a lot of fantastic cues from the games, but I wish they didn't tread the same ground as two and a half other games already did. There's too much baggage to California. Copy + paste this entire plot onto Milwaukee, Chicago, Dallas, etc and you have zero continuity issue and actualy have free range to develop new factions. I agree that there's a problem with Vault Tec orchestrating the apocalypse. I interpeted it more as they nudged the world powers to that point and forced nations' hands through back channels, but I still think it was an unnecessary step. Vault Tec is already comically evil, as is basically every major corporation in the Fallout universe. That's the point, they didn't also need to be grand puppeteers. I very mucy agree with you all that the war going apocalyptic should have been ambiguous as it is in the Metro franchise because the message is about mankind's general hubris, not that one corp blew it all up because of a management plan. It's still really friggin good in spite of these misgivings. I'd much rather disagree with a show over content rather than quality, like the hypothetical Halo show that I refuse to acknowledge
