The first season of Amazon’s Fallout was one of the best video game adaptations we have ever seen. Which I know isn’t saying much, but it managed to respect the games that came before it, expand the lore rather than retelling an old story, and introduce compelliꦰng original characters we came to care about as much as the vault dwellers, ghouls, and outlaws we loved in the games. Now I’m afraid they’re going to screw it all up with what’s to come.

During the first season finale, Fallout teased the introduction of New Vegas, which is set to be a primary locale in season 2. And, if you’re terminally online like so many of us are, chances are you’ve seen the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:set photos showing the recreation of New Vegas the series is poised to inhabit upon its returns. From these images alone, ♓it looks like the show’s creative team has captured the look of New Vegas. That’s the easy part, though.

Note: Oddly enough, the New Vegas set is two𒆙 blocks from my old apartment, which shows you the kind of post-apocalyptic neighborhood I used to live in.

Fallout: New Vegas Is The Best Game In The Franchise

I love the Fallout games. Like millions of others I first played the series when Bethesda took the reins with Fallout 3, and now I look back at the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:original games and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:wonder if I should try them. I have owned ꦦthem for over a decade on Steam and it hasn’t happened yet. But maybe som🍌eday…

When Obsidian Entertainme𒐪nt’s New 🅷Vegas first released in 2010 , I was disappointed. As someone who became Fallout 3-pilled almost instantly, New Vegas felt like a step backward. The initial launch was filled with bugs and glitches, making me question whether Fallout 3 was ever good in the first place. I felt ruined! Then, thankfully, Obsidian fixed the game, and it’s gone on to become just as if not more beloved than its predecessor.

With the show’s second season now in production, I decided it was time to hop back into the Mojave Wasteland and see what New Vegas was like 15 years after it firs𒊎t broke cover. What I found ✱was the game I always hoped it would be.

Fallout: New Vegas encompasses everything we love about this property in a single package with an exciting branching story, incredible locales, and a mechanically compelling faction system to divide up the various groups that call this vast desert home. As the player, you choose your alliances, play them against each other, and let those choices determine your path through the irradiated desert. You could side with the New California Republic or any number of gꦿangs decorated wit꧑h over-the-top theming. Seriously, Caesar’s Legion members must be so hot under all those layers in the heat. Not to mention all the blood.

New Vegas opens up the world of Fallout in ways the preceding game didn’t. The sandbox map was filled with different groups,👍 towns, and even individual people all looking out for themselves – and often all looking to use you for their own ends.

I made friends with ghouls and super mutants, I joined an Elvis-obsessed street gang, I made Mr. House’s ‘life’ – if you can call it that – a living hell as I shot up his territory and plotted against him. I felt alive. Even though I played New Vegas upon release so 𒀰many years ago, this playthrough was nothing like that. Instead, it was everything I wanted the first time around. I worked my way through the entire story, played through a few possible endings, and even dug through the DLC – most of it wa💧s great, Old World Blues was bad.

But, now that I have experienced New Vegas as intende𓄧d, I’m afraid of what Amazon will do to it.

Don’t Ruin New Vegas

Usually when a movie or TV show adapts a game, I’m excited to go along for the ride. While I love the games, I don’t connect to the stories of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Uncharted, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Tomb Raider, or 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Twisted Metal – all adaptations I enjoy – nearly as much as The Last of Us or Fallout. And 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last of Us already fumbled its🌜 💧second season.

And now, Prime Video is supposed to recreate one of my absolute favorite🍸 game settings ever exactly to 🐬my liking? Fat chance. I want to trust them, but I also remember the second season of executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s last major project, Westworld. The first was incredible, then the second saw the show spin out of control and never regain its footing, ultimately being canceled before finishing the story it set out to tell.

The ambitious undertaking of properly capturing New Vegas makes the first season of the show seem quaint by comparison. Season 1 spent lots of time introducing the concept of vaults and explored them thoroughly while also hitting a few interesting topside locations. With New Vegas, the most common vault experience you have is one on the Strip that’s been turned into a ♏themed hotel – a location which has already been spotted in photos from the new season.

Given there’s still lots of vault drama to unpack, it will obviously continue to be a focus. With that said, the creative team needs to make sure not to short New Vegas on screen time because the audience needs to know how massive and important a location this is. It needs to be the main focu𝓡s for Lucy, Maximus, and company.

The show is set roughly 15 years after the events of Fallout: New Vegas. Knowing this, fans of the franchise need context on what exactly has become of New Vegas since the events of that game. Canonically, was Mr. House taken out of the equation? He was introduced pre-war in Season 1, so we know the show isn’t opposed to incorporating the character. And what about 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Caesar’s Legion? Are they and the NCR still battling for territory? What’s become of the Hoover Dam? And most importantly, will Lucy (Ella Purnell) join the Kings and dress lꦇike Elvis through the second half of the season? I definitely need to know that last part. For science.

These are all extremely important questions, – especially the last one because Lucy with sideburns sounds awesome. At this point, I’m a ball of nerves afraid that they’re going to pull off an absolute blunder and ruin one of my favorite games. That might be something you’ve all experienced before, but I love the bad Mortal Kombat and Super Mario Bros. movies, so this is new ground for me. ܫSo watc𝓀h yourself, Amazon. I’ve got high expectations, and I won’t be lowering them.
