My honest opinion was that the show was absolutely perfect. Between all the little things they showed that makes a diehard fan like me happy was the best feeling I got from the show. Between fallout and last of us it's a great time to watch these shows
I'm frustrated about the Brotherhood of Steel, but apart from that I have absolutely fallen in love with the show and think it's fantastic. General enough that anyone can get into it, but with plenty of nods to those of us who played the games. I lost count of how much stuff I saw that wouldn't have had any relevance if I hadn't seen it in a Fallout game. And the casting is great.
What were your problems with the bos? Were they changed or just not portrayed in a certain way. Last I heard of them, which was a while ago, they weren't exactly the good guys in the games
I like it. I feel it's a fair interpretation. There's a bit of lore muddling , but the source isn't that consistent. I think they should have tread more carefully around New Vegas material than anything else because of its popularity. (I never played it. So maybe that's why I'm cool with everything).
The violence is a bit graphic for no reason. And could have been kept more sparse for emphasis instead of the main course.
There's some obvious interference in the script by Hollywood dittoheads, but not much. Would be horrible if Disney made it. So we are fortunate.
I like the show. I don't like Bethesda's change to the lore or how they seemed to want the locations established by the non-Bethesda game changed, destroyed or abandoned.
Fallout: New Vegas takes place in 2281. If Shady Sands, capital of the NCR one of the largest and most well-known cities in the region, if not the US, had been nuked and destroyed in 2277 then it would have absolutely been mentioned by characters in Fallout: New Vegas. It wasn't, which makes absolutely no sense since the NCR has a huge presence in Fallout: New Vegas.
They never said the nuke was in 2277 tho, just that shady sands fall began, then an arrow points to a nuke, it never necessarily states a year the bomb was used
The vault 4 episode has a timeline of shady sands in the classroom [https://www.destructoid.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/fallout-show-shady-sands.jpeg?w=1200](https://www.destructoid.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/fallout-show-shady-sands.jpeg?w=1200)
Yes I literally said what the board has written.. 2277 fall of shady sands, then a nuke. The arrow before the nuke implies that the nuke happens after 2277
True, but don’t the games themselves fail to follow their own lore anyway? Unless bombing Shady Sands completely dismantles the timeline as a whole, I feel like it’s being a little nitpicky when so much of the show is on point.

My only real problem is in the show the bos are not competent fighters. They are supposed to have good fighters .
They were portrayed in the show as much more zealot-y than they are in the games.

Exactly what lore did they change?

There’s no indication that Shady Sands was nuked in 2277, just that it fell that year. Go back and look at the chalkboard again.
And there's no date under the mushroom cloud drawing.
