    hmm, if you’re not enjoying it by that point I’d say skip it. If you’re really into fallout lore it’s still worth watching, but otherwise yea just skip it, or read a synopsis and see if something there catches your interest enough for you to continue

    The Fallout TV show is mostly “revolutionary” on the grounds of being a TV adaptation of something that doesn’t suck ass and explores the lore of Fallout in a way that’s faithful to the games and not complete nonsense, I liked it a lot, but it’s art and nobody is somehow obliged to like it lol

      Oh, the lore was another thing that bothered me. For example ghouls now need a drug to not turn feral, the brotherhood being changed completely from what they were in Fallout 1, 2 and NV to some kind of pseudo religious faction that treats its members as completely disposable and Shady Sands just got bombed randomly so the NCR just doesn’t exist now.

      To me it felt like the show was incredibly liberal with the lore or was just familiar of the lore in Fallout 4 and none of the rest of it.

        I think thee medicine is preventative, basically if ya start turning you take. The brotherhood have different culture between chapters, imagine working under Elijah from new vegas. I believe it was Chris Avalon who said he wanted to nuke the NCR if he did another game, so this is at the very least an idea thats been floating around.
