I know I need to play Fallout and my high school aged cousin keeps telling me to play New Vegas. I’ve also heard that the controls are similar to Skyrim so that is good. Apparently the main character is female. I guess in the game you create your own character like Skyrim. There was a time when a female lead wouldn’t have made me bat an eye but in the time we live now it’s a potential red flag. Also I heard the showrunner says he isn’t following the lore in the game or something. I would imagine more guys play Fallout,but that’s the same with Halo. I used to want an Elder Scrolls/Skyrim movie but now I hope they stay far away

I get a bad feeling that the writers did not read beyond the surface level details of the Fallout timeline. The trailer shows a lot of red flags. Watch Syntheticman's trailer review on YouTube. It's like 10 min, he points out the big issues.
They are going with Bethesda's saccharine world, rather than the more grimdark post apoc of Fallout 1 and 2. I know it's a really low bar, but I can see it being better than WoT or Rings of Power. I'm in no hurry to watch it though.
Calling it now:
-Plot will be woke girlboss concerned that the Vault climate control system is failing. None of the vault authorities listen to her specifically because she's a girl, ignoring she's a genius child prodigy or whatever. So she goes rogue to save the vault.
-girlboss MC will be an angry hectoring scold who yells and everyone with no charisma or charm, all viewers will hate her and journos will write shaming thinkpieces on how gamers are stupid pieces of shit for not watching..
-she solves easy problems with obvious solutions that any 5th grader could have figured out and gets hailed as the savior of the wasteland.
-the black guy is a brotherhood tech genius super smart hacker tech master and the brotherhood kicks him out for being too smart, he starts an interracial romance with the girlboss and they save the wasteland. Or he's gay, but otherwise the same.
-brotherhood will be openly fascist and prejudiced for no reason, they will invert the mission from saving technology to destroying it.
Welp, looks like you went 0 for 5 here
Wrong. 3.5/5
-climate plot-- nope. I was wrong
-Angry hectoring scold - yes. She's passive aggressive instead of angry, but still lectures people, and journos wrote exactly those articles.
-Solves easy problems and gets called a genius - yep
-black guy is super smart genius -- eh, I guess not. But he does get into interracial relationship with the girl. 1/2 point
-brotherhood fascist - big yep
Why don't you send me one of those articles calling people stupid pieces of shit for not watching.
Also I don’t really see her yelling at everyone or having zero charisma. I’d say you’re pretty far off.
I don’t see where the passive aggression is either. Can you give an example?
One kiss is a relationship? Damn man you need to get out
Wrong
What's one of those "easy" problems she solved?
