If you’re a fallout fan, you’re already on board. Our viewership is a given, and is theirs to lose. But for people who aren’t big fans, having big names attached shows it’s serious business. It’s meant to convince people on the fence that it’s worth an initial watch since there’s money and names behind it so maybe it’s not just “some dumb low budget video game shit.”

I don’t know. I’ve played every Fallout game (except tactics and that weird PS2/Xbox game) and it won’t even be on my radar until word of mouth confirms it’s good. The moment I saw Todd Howards name my interest plummeted. I’m happy that Bethesda has kept the franchise alive but Fallout 3 and 4 are a whole step below what Black isle/Obsidian created. If the show is going to be based on the Bethesda vision of Fallout then it’s instantly going to be at odds with the fanbase.

  Maybe it’ll be good, maybe it won’t. But after the 400+ hours I spent in fo4, I’m willing to commit to another hour to see if the first episode is any good. I’ve spent longer than that hunting for literal trash in-game. :)
