People complain that it leans towards bathesda fallout. Well Bethesda fallout games have sold like 50 million copies while the first two only sold like 750k, so it’s no surprise they’re leaning on the more popular version.
That’s such a stupid take. That’s almost like saying if they’re going to make a movie about a COD game they should take inspiration from Ghosts and not the OG modern warfare, because Ghosts sold better than OG Modern Warfare. Doesn’t matter that the story of Ghosts is one of the worst in the series and MW story is arguably the best in the series.
If you’re going to make an adaptation you want what is the best quality, not what is the most popular. Popularity doesn’t necessarily mean quality. That said, I don’t care where the show leans, my expectations were already so low that simply getting it in the right ballpark was a win. But could’ve it been more true to the source material considering where it takes place? Absolutely.
And they had a fair amount of fallout one content too, the brotherhood were using the Fallout 1 10mm pistol, they even had a pretty dang accurate water chip prop.
I don’t mind using the Bethesda pipboy design. I don’t think FO1 or FO2 even had actual pipboy models, just the pipboy 2000 screen. It would’ve had to been redesigned anyway.
started going on about psykers
? I don’t think even you know what you’re talking about. I had to look up the wiki and I doubt you actually meant the 4 guys in the cathedral that barely even played a role in FO1.

No, they are going to lean into what is most popular.
Imagine if the show suddenly had the Fallout 1 pipboy and started going on about psykers, most people watching would be extremely confused.

There are a few more psykers in fallout, they are a bunch of people with magical powers that never were brought up again besides Mama Murphy.
The FO1 pipboy looks pretty much like a tablet, they didn’t become wrist-mounted until Fallout 3.
My point is that what people know as Fallout at this point is what the modern games show, it makes sense they’d lean on that.
Lorewise the show has more to do with Fallout 1 and 2 than the Bethesda games.
