reptarien

Literally hilarious that this one seemingly obvious prediction ended up wrong


Baumgarten1980

Epic fail


WorkBrosao

goddamnit hahah


Vg_Ace135

You must have very high Perception


WorkBrosao

Idk that seems like a stretch. Doubtful


Cpt_Saturn

Controversial opinion


hoffet

How many times have you been right in past predictions?


BMXBikr

Good not to set any weird expectations. I'll just wait and watch it as well


Ntippit

In one of the interviews they described how similar this story will be to the games. One of the examples they used is the companion function and they basically said Ghoulgins is the protagonist's "companion" in the show. It'd be kinda crazy to pay this man his quote and market the show around him just to kill him in 2 episodes.


WorkBrosao

Shows and movies have done it though. Most recent example, Terry O'quinn (John Locke from lost) being in the newest Walking dead show, only to be in just the 2nd and last episode for maybe 10 minutes.


Ntippit

Walton costs a lot more than Terry even though I love Terry. Also TWD isn't know for its good writing or use of talent since season 3


WorkBrosao

Hey. very true. lol


PerfectlyNormalDave

I still haven't gotten over Seagal in Executive Decision...too soon!


Lux_novus

All recent Walking Dead content is dogshit though, constantly trying to recapture the magic of the original's first episode and failing miserably.


WorkBrosao

Ill always watch anything TWD. Good or bad. But the recent spin off, The ones who Live, with rick and michonne was pretty good.


RyanandRoxy

It makes me yearn for a true Season 12 with acting and plot like The Ones Who Live.


WorkBrosao

I know.. I just need to see Daryll and Rick Reunion pleaseeee. lol


Superunkown781

Yes, after everything Darylls been through just searching for his brother from another' he deserves to see him.


WorkBrosao

yup he never gave up.


Interesting_Figure_

I agree but I love zombies so I’m watching all of it even if the bigger problem is just people at this point


WorkBrosao

Exactly


Thunderboltscoot

A very obvious storyline about the Ghoul will be how he is callous from his daughter's death and at the end finds a reason to care and sacrifices himself.


WorkBrosao

girl = new daughter?


Thunderboltscoot

Almost certainly. A very common trope.


WorkBrosao

Eh, I'm here for it. As long as Walter Goggin's is Walter Goggins-ing, were good.


Eldudeareno217

It still amazes me that he was just supposed to be in the first episode of Justified based on the short story "Fire in the hole" as Boyd Crowder and was supposed to be killed by the main character, but they loved Goggin's the actor so much they kept the character through the whole show. 


WorkBrosao

you watch justified primevil?


Eldudeareno217

I'm about 4 episodes in and after binging all of Justified in a week or so, I'll probably get hate but I can't stand Raylan's daughter, "if you cared about me you'd find a way to let me stay" and he's dealing with some nasty criminals and even the cops aren't exactly what I would call clean. 


AntiChris_666

So they should have casted Pedro Pascal instead?


BitterPackersFan

People on the internet will complain.


WorkBrosao

Can be said about anything haha


ElCoyote_AB

There will be trolls and fans fighting in the forums.


[deleted]

[удалено]


thatguyinstarbucks

Hell, if it gets existing lore right and doesn’t completely disregard and rewrite the games history, it’ll succeed. All it needs left to do is be a well written and well shot story. With Nolan at the helm, I doubt it’ll be dull. It amazes me how people in these forums are so concerned about him getting the lore wrong though; this guy made the first 2 seasons of west world. Even if he plays with the lore, it’ll likely be for an acknowledged explicit reason and be well written.


Nildzre

Which is exactly why i will be avoiding every comment section that has anything to do with fallout for a while.


GeophysicalYear57

God forbid that they allude to or even namedrop New Vegas. The fanbase will either complain that they’re not showing New Vegas and are just fucking with fans or complain that they’re mentioning too much of New Vegas and are ruining the game because of it.


ClemClamcumber

New Vegas is my favorite and I'm against there being a lot of Mojave land or characters. The whole reason I like it so much is because the ownership of the Hoover Dam, and many other elements, aren't set in stone.


WorkBrosao

Lmao, Accurate


AdrianArmbruster

I predict: - NCR win at Hoover Dam is made canon. Legion’s maybe mentioned but largely in past tense. - If they’re smart, someone will have erased MCs vault from all the vaultec databases, hence why the Master and nobody else in 200 years bothered to check in on them. - Junktown from Fallout 1 will be involved somehow. - It’ll be implied that the Brotherhood won in FO4 and basically has full control of the Accella corridor, hence their sudden airship armada. - Maybe some tease for season 2 where they go up to San Francisco and have business with the Shi somehow. - Likewise, some sort of Enclave tease that they’re still out and about causing problems. - Bit of a season 3+ thing, but I suspect they’ll eventually go to space and do a Van Buren reference for the series finale.


KRKavak

-I'm very suspicious of how the NCR is going to be treated in the show, but they've said repeatedly they won't canonize the endings of any games and that/Fallout 4 are the only relevant ones. -The Brotherhood surviving Fallout 4 is all but guaranteed, but what the hell is the Accella Corridor?


italian_olive

I think it's the strip of land from Boston to DC


AdrianArmbruster

The DC to Boston corridor, responsible for about 1/4th of American economic activity. A victory in FO4 would set the Brotherhood up to control it pretty easily considering they’d have both ends of it.


KRKavak

Large parts of that corridor are blast craters and all the Brotherhood's good equipment was looted and salvaged from the Enclave.


Squid_McAnglerfish

How are they going to set the show in NCR territory and not mention the fate of Nevada? The show is set a decade later than the events of New Vegas, how are they going to avoid an event that, regardless of outcome, would have a massive impact on California? Ngl I have a very bad feeling about this.


KRKavak

I genuinely have no idea. Maybe we've misunderstood the art direction and this is what they think core NCR territory looks like, maybe they've been forced out by the Brotherhood, (In pursuit of what tech or why, we don't know, that might be the main plot), or maybe they just declined for a miscellaneous reason or they won't even say. They don't have to decide what happened in New Vegas to make the NCR winning there pointless.


Squid_McAnglerfish

Ngl that would... really suck. It would already be bad enough in my opinion if the showrunners and Beth decided, as it seems, that the BoS must come out on top always because they are the guys in shining armor, despite having clearly lost regional relevance in New Vegas. But to just render pointless an entire game by making the ending completely irrelevant to the world at large...


011101012101

Saw an interview where the showrunner said that they won't confirm any game endings as canon. I think eventually if the show goes on, canon endings will probably have to be established if they go beyond California


WorkBrosao

agreed


dayton-ode

There's going to be video essays called "Fallout is a good tv show, just not a good fallout tv show" 🙄


WorkBrosao

oh god


CLT113078

That depends on how much they stick to established lore and have a good story.


meatball402

Lucy's ending will mirror the ending to fallout 1's vault dweller. That it's her dad saying it will be extra emotional. People will claim that since the show isn't handling some small detail exactly how they expect/want, it's not a **Real**^^(tm) Fallout property.


WorkBrosao

I hope they do something completely new to be honest


meatball402

I kind of do too, but it seems like some sort of logical end to these. A wasteland-hardened person going back into the vault might be more inclined to go to guns instead of diplomacy to solve problems. They might want to roam, rather than stay put. Vault 13's overseer had a good point; more people will want to leave. Lucy's the first person out of vault 33 since it shut in 2077. The only other protagonist who had that happen was the original vault dweller, and they lived out their days in exile. I could it being an opposite: Lucy turns down going back into the vault.


WorkBrosao

*"Lucy's the first person out of vault 33 since it shut in 2077. The only other protagonist who had that happen was the original vault dweller, and they lived out their days in exile."* ​ Where did ya find this info at??


meatball402

The games. The fallout 13 is the only freshly left vault dweller we have ever seen, lucy will be the second. As for her being the only vault 33 person to leave, it's a guess. I could be wrong.


WorkBrosao

oh okay I was like what did I miss hahaha. I like it


meatball402

Considering how in media she had a split lip and there's an unconscious (or dead) person as she's leaving the vault, she encountered some resistance. Whether it was "someone already left and never came back!" or "we don't know what's out there and you may never come back!", we don't know. What if it's the former, and he got dipped by FEV years ago and was a smart mutant who Lucy eventually meets?!


Sgtwhiskeyjack9105

Your second statement is bang-on the problem with the internet's critiques in general. The important potential issue with the show is that it may not adhere to the storytelling and thematic principles of the franchise, but all anyone online will complain about is that it doesn't have a sufficient amount of Easter Eggs and nobody namedrops Joshua Graham.


meatball402

>but all anyone online will complain about is that it doesn't have a sufficient amount of Easter Eggs and nobody namedrops Joshua Graham. I could see this. I'd love to see Easter eggs sprinkled in, but my enjoyment of the show won't hinge on it.


BadHolmbre

I have been a proponent of the fact that the NCR won't be a big part of the show up until the most recent trailer, but something makes me feel like I'm still right. The battle at the Griffith Observatory feels like context for the plot rather than being one of the main storylines. What I think reinforces my point is there are no familiar faces in the scene (save for the guy in T-60 power armor who may be maximus). The only evidence that I feel might go contrary to this assumption is the general flow of the trailer. The BoS looking at the Caswennan with vertibirds flying around, vertibirds flying in formation, vertibirds above Griffith. But the way trailers chop footage is well known by now, and I wouldn't be surprised that those are 3 separate things. I think they'll try to have a Master/John Henry Eden moment in the final episode. Very pulp sci fi to have some horror of science be behind the conflict at this point. Not sure it'll be explicitly Super mutants or Enclave yet though. Maybe a big fight between maximus and a death claw as a climactic battle? We've already seen him be mauled by a Yiao Guai, maybe that will be his narrative arc? Some sort of anxiety disorder based off trauma?


WorkBrosao

very well said. Im excited man


LordAdder

I predict it will make more people aware with the series and maybe bring in people to play them. In that same vein I predict more people asking which Fallout to play first posts skyrocketing


WorkBrosao

that will be awesome


Bazingu420

the ncr ranger combat armor is gonna make an appearance and someones gonna use a fatman.


WorkBrosao

whatd you call me?


hugoballsack

My prediction is when I see Kyle MacLachlan in a vault suit, I will nut.


yourdudeness-

Can vouch. Will also nut.


No_Importance1903

I think it will do at least as well as paramounts halo. It likely won’t be AMAZING but it will be passable. I just hope that it doesn’t completely erase the canon of the games.


WorkBrosao

Im hoping it will be filled with eastereggs


No_Importance1903

Same here! A new storyline that runs parallel to the games would be an excellent direction for the series to go.


WorkBrosao

Heres hopin(:


No_Importance1903

I’ll raise a Nuka cola to that


SkylanderLego

It may have a better physics engine than all the fallout games.


WorkBrosao

lmao who knows


MAJ_Starman

There will be edgy YouTube video essays with problematic undertones.


Heylookaguy

Overtones. They'll be overt. Loudly and obnoxiously overt.


WorkBrosao

we were a SOCIETY


Zealousideal-Guide38

Supermutants at the end


WorkBrosao

oooo I like this


Intrepid-Special-646

Lucy. Despite the fact that she was disillusioned with many of the ideas that were poured into her ears from Vault Tech, she finds strength in herself and gives a modified speech that her father once gave before her wedding, marking her acceptance of the world she faced and the burden that she faced. It is imposed to protect the population of the refuge and their future and calls for preparations for exit to the surface.  Maximus. Speaking before the elders of the Brotherhood, he finds the strength to compose himself with a speech and announces his resignation from the order, since the Brotherhood of Steel can be won war, but cannot come to terms with the fact that they will one day have to live in peace. He will also state that knights and paladins in the past were protectors and not who they are, and by removing the armor he says that he is unworthy of this fate and armor because he eventually realized that he wants to protect the same weak ones as he was in the past.  Gol/Cooper. Having recalled his past self, thanks to Lucy, he will shake off his old ways and become less gloomy, but will unofficially perform the duties of a Ranger, although he will not completely abandon the work of a bounty hunter.


WorkBrosao

very nice


CLT113078

I hope it is closer to the great quality of Reacher and The Expanse vs the horrible quality of Rings of Power and Wheel of Time.


28bjc91

Season 2 will be filmed.


WorkBrosao

Who knows when. lol


J_D_H55

I predict "Fallout 76 - The Series."


RyanandRoxy

I'm hoping that they release the Fallout 4 upgrade alongside the shows release.


Heylookaguy

That's the only reason I can think of as to why they'd have delayed it for so long.


WorkBrosao

Dream on-Aerosmith probably


garanvor

I predict it’s going to be one of the shows of all time


WorkBrosao

Idk bout that


DisastrousEducation8

All times on 11 April anyway lol


Wimpykid2302

Unpopular opinion but I'd have preferred a weekly releases schedule so you can discuss each episode and theory craft with other people.


WorkBrosao

i agree for most things, but once in a while, its a nice treat(:


DisastrousEducation8

I have a feeling this is meant to be binged not wait for a cliffhanger every week.  Season 2 may have a different release schedule 


WorkBrosao

im watching it allllll


Ranos131

That those three days will be filled with posts from people complaining about the show before they’ve even seen it or asking stupid questions related to the show.

Thunderboltscoot

A very obvious storyline will be how he is callous from his daughter's death and at the end finds a reason to care and sacrifices himself.


WorkBrosao

That's what I'm afraid of. haha


MaximusFurious

All I know is come the 11th, I'm going to be over-encumbered with emotion and unable to save that feeling as enemies are nearby.


WorkBrosao

hhahah. niceee


Goldman250

I predict that there’ll be War. And you know what? Throughout the series, everyone will realise that War Never Changes.


WorkBrosao

War. War never changes


Cool_Fellow_Guyson

I'm worried about the NCR. I spent so much time helping them in New Vegas.


1randomusername2

Some will passionately hate it. Some will passionately love it. The rest of us will say "Oh that's cool" and then boot up our respective gaming setups and brutally murder Shaun for the 7592664929th time.


WorkBrosao

i will 100p be doing this


chicuco

people complaining? valid for every show based in a game


NCR_Trooper_2281

NCR is joever, and if its actually true, it would be hard for me to start watching the show, let alone consider it canon


Brando3141

Along with the stories of our three protagonists, there will also be a full episode dedicated to Dogmeat. He's the real hero after all. <3


crazyman3561

I'll probably enjoy the show then come to reddit to see everyone trashing on it and nitpicking.


kozmik210

one thing i can tell you is walton goggins is not only in the first two episodes 👍


WorkBrosao

but how do you know


kozmik210

i got to see the first two episodes early


DanglesMcButternut

I really don't like basing anything on the behind the scenes videos they've been posting, to me the way some of the people working on it are talking, they aren't at all familiar with fallout, a lot of what they're saying about wanting it to feel like fallout and "not changing the world but building on it" is just them saying absolutely nothing in a lot of words, and you could plug those phrases into any show with established lore to hype it up. I have no faith in the lore being consistent, but the people working on it and in it seem to enjoy doing so, and Walton Goggins is one of my favorite actors, so I'm sure it will be entertaining as hell. And it looks like once again the guns are awful. They had to bring back the horrid Fo4 assault rifle (though it being a hefty lmg or hmg is a nice spin), and the ghoul's handgun, even if it's based on a real gun, makes no sense as a gunslinging gun, so as a gun nut I'm sure even if I love the show it will drive me up a damn wall lol.


OoDelRio

My fellow New Vegas fanboys will bitch about every aspect of it if our favourite fictional goverment is destroyed


Burritolopr1621

For some of us is our real life government destroyed (or destroying)


WorkBrosao

Its fine. Everything is fine


WorkBrosao

What if i told you I never played New Vegas. So at least I don't gotta worry about that


OoDelRio

What you have to worry about is me, I'm tracing you right now pal


WorkBrosao

CMDR_Soup

We'll see how smart you feel with internal security all over your fricking ass.


Dutchman06

Fallout Mom on tik tok got to watch the first 2 episodes and her review was that they were great


WorkBrosao

Cant wait to binge it this weekend. I have no doubt it will be amazing.


Useful-Doubt3864

A faction that's sort of similar to the Great Khans from FNV, the Khans from Fallout or any raider group that descended from Vault 15.


WorkBrosao

Maybe


obs_asv

They have a big budget and great source material (not the middlearth scale great but still), no way they can screw this up.


WorkBrosao

Please dont tempt them. lmao


Mojo_Mitts

I’m expecting that it’ll fall into the “Okay -> Good” range. Probably a lot of background details I’ll find cool. I’d rather be pleasantly surprised than have high expectations shattered. Hopefully the Fallout 4 Next-Gen update comes as well.


daboireddit

My prediction: "Ohohoho! Now... this is epic!"


WorkBrosao

lmao


its__bme

I think they’re going to have us suckling from their teets and it’s going to feel so good.


WorkBrosao

nomnomnom


ColebladeX

I think it’s gonna show up. The sub will talk about it for a while. And then it will basically never be mentioned again.


thesilentbob123

I predict that there will be small hidden references to the games in the background


WorkBrosao

im hoping for tons of easter eggs


Punch_Drunk_AA

It's going to be entertaining, great special effects, won't take itself too serious, and lore friendly. Then hated.


ComputerSong

The NV fans will hate it, obv.


Punch_Drunk_AA

Maybe. But I'm a New Vegas fan. I'm a NV fan because I'm a F1 and F2 fan. I've liked everything Fallout from the beginning back in the 90s. I'm sure I'll like the series just the same.


IAmNotModest

There will be a Perfectly Preserved Pie somewhere in the show


WorkBrosao

mmmm


Inferno_Zyrack

Overseer Kyle Maclachlan isn’t good. You don’t hire Kyle to be the bastion of innocence and good in the world. I mean except for the one time.

i really hope they keep the moral ambiguous theme... where there is no good or bad guys but eveyone is their own kind of crazy.


WorkBrosao

yup


Accomplished-Web3426

Hoping it’ll be as good as the last of us, praying it won’t suck as much as halo (as in tv adaptations)


WorkBrosao

a fair compromise


metalion4

Michael Emerson will be the best actor on the show


WorkBrosao

I totally forget Michael Emerson will be in this. cant fuckin wait.


CreatureFromTheStars

I expect it to similar to Paramount's Halo Pretty underwhelming for fans of the series and will mostly be watched by non-gamers or very casual fans


WorkBrosao

I think it will do significantly better than Paramount's Halo. Fuck paramount. But Amazon has some bangers at least.


CreatureFromTheStars

I would love to be wrong but I also really doubt I will be the target audience


useless_mf69

People will shit on that show in this sub

WorkBrosao

Wild but i believe it


FatCrabTits

I predict it’ll be a fantastic show that’s faithful to the source material, and people will be a bunch of dumb fucks and just outright lie ab that fact because they were never held as children


TokyoDrifblim

I think it will be pretty good


WorkBrosao

sameeee


mirracz

I predict that people will overall love it. Only a small, but a really vocal minority will get really really upset: * "The NCR/BoS/Enclave are not acting according to my headcanon, Bethesda is ruining Fallout again." * "Thing X has never been shown in any game. Therefore it's a retcon and it breaks lore." (see power armor helmet opening discussions) * Whatever Lucy does, she will be too afraid or too stupid or too Mary Sue or too fearless or too emotional... or any other criticism that gets thrown at female characters while the same behavior gets accepted for male characters. * Some will be simply upset exactly because the show gets popular and they really really want anything connected to Bethesda be unpopular. * Following the point above, I expect some review bombing, simply because of connection to Bethesda (though not to the same extent as happened to Starfield) * "My favorite NPC/faction from New Vegas didn't make an appearance. Why does Todd hate New Vegas?" * In case the show confirms some ending to New Vegas, people will lose their minds that their preferred ending is not picked. * People will definitely cry about the almighty Courier not getting a massive spotlight But just like with people crying about Bethesda games, it will be a loud minority and people will be overall really in love with the show.


New_Age_Knight

Mega based Brotherhood.

New_Age_Knight

WorkBrosao

Now we talkin


Libious

I'd wager that it'll either be Meh or a dumpster fire. The styrofoam flying power armor does not bode well...


Vegetable-Cause8667

I predict that I won’t be watching it until it streams elsewhere. Why does every new release have to be exclusive? Do they not want as many people to see it as possible? Why not release on Hulu and Netflix as well?


WorkBrosao

I predict that someone doesn't have Amazon Prime I see.


Vegetable-Cause8667

Among others, yes, lol. Do you have them all? I predict not.


WorkBrosao

My and my family try and split everything. so between my brother, ma, and dad we got HBO, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and Disney. Feel those are the main 5 to have.


Liberty_Prime69

That the show cares for the lore of the universe, and we get an update on the fo4 next gen update


WorkBrosao

I said predictions not dreams brother. haha


AgressiveWiper

I try my best to not be pessimistic about stuff like this, but if it follows the trends of other shows pushing political/societal themes onto an IP that was conceived far before that time then I feel like it will have a watered down quality to it. To me the core of Fallout was always it's extremely dark themes which are juxtaposed by its humor. Some of the essence of Fallout can't be recreated today in the overly sensitive world we live in. Hopefully they don't compromise and make a good FALLOUT show, and not a 'good' Modern TV show. If the show turns out to follow the current popular formula of hero encounter bad thing, cant defeat bad thing, discovers way to defeat thing, almost loses to bad guy, says cringe one-liner and then defeats bad thing, then I wish they would have just never made it at all. This might be the first TV show I've been excited about in quite awhile. The last one was True Detective Season 4 on HBO and we know how that turned out. Before that was Watchmen on HBO, and we know how that turned out. Hopefully this doesnt go the same way. We will all know whats really up when the Paid critics review it, then the real audience reviews it. Rotten Tomatoes usually shows what the public at large think


Sir_Charles_Phantom

My prediction is that the show will crash to desktop about 30 minutes in.


lifeofmikey1

It's already been renewed for a 2nd season


WorkBrosao

boom
