MODERATORS
I hated the first few episodes, started to like it in the second half, and then hated the last episode. Imo most of the interesting stuff happens either in flashbacks or is implied off-screen. She becomes a bit more of a realist but still stays a "good" person.
As an aside I find the weird way it engages in fanservice intriguing. Like, yeah, look at all the power armor and vertibirds, or some guy has a 10mm pistol, oooh stimpaks. But it doesn't go full out. Ghoul man has a weird subsonic revolver thing that's not in any games that I remember. The Boneyard, The Hub, Vault City? Never heard of 'em.
Neither have the writers of this show. You'd be kidding yourself if you thought they used anything pre-Fallout 3 for reference for this show.
The game takes place only around LA. The Shady Sands depicted should have been the Boneyard (the only way it makes sense if they moved the government from the location from 2 and took the name with it). The hub was more north but should be mentioned as it was still big. Vault city is much further away. It’s even above San Francisco (another settlement) in latitude which is 600km from LA by road.
Imo they really just didn't care about scale or where things were at all. There's a lot of wandering around but not a lot of things because they'd rather not worry about it.

Also Kyle Mclachlan makes it to New Vegas in 30 seconds (sort of).
