Fallout Shelter (working title) is a new reality competition series based on the hit Amazon drama and computer game of the same name. The dwellers (contestants) live together in a top-secret vault, where they will compete in a series of games that tests the seven core attributes from the Fallout world. Strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility and luck (S.P.E.C.I.A.L).
The series will not only test dwellers’ core attributes, but also their loyalty and alliances. It’s a game of power dynamics, popularity and social strategy which will ultimately result in a huge cash prize, but do you have what it takes to be the most S.P.E.C.I.A.L?.
I am sort of speechless, but for all the wrong reasons.
I don’t even get it. Everything after fallout 1 has no bearing on fallout 1. It’s exactly the same as it was when it was released. It’s not hard to not think about things you don’t like lol
It’s like how I can’t stand to watch Kevin Spacey movies after we all found out about who he is.
Does it mean he’s no longer a talented actor? No. Does it make his movies suck? No. Does it taint everything he ever did and now seeing him reminds you of how shitty he is as a person?
The crime doesn’t have to equate? Why bring up Kevin Spacey’s crimes at all? How is that relevant to not liking the direction a franchise went?
I don’t feel that “this franchise went in a bad direction, so now I can’t enjoy the previous works” is anything like “this person is a sexual predator, so now I can’t enjoy their previous works”.
It would be really awkward to watch a known sexual predator in a movie, even if the movie predates the crime. The existence of the Fallout TV show has no effect on Fallout 1 as a game.

a Resounding and emphatic- YES.
if thats the case, everybody should have stopped liking fallout after the brotherhood of steel game came out. and yet they didnt.
That would be a good comparison if Fallout as a franchise was a person who committed sexual assault I guess
The crime doesn’t have to equate to ha e the same effect. Someone should have probably explained this to you by now.
When I said, “It’s like….” I didn’t mean “it’s identical to…” Understanding nuance goes a long way in these cases.

What a weird turn this conversation took lol
Are you purposefully missing the point in favor of grandstanding, or did you seriously not understand the comparison for what it was?
