Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't recall the BoS doing the whole 40k "sacred rites of the machine" thing. Their society was modelled on medieval monks by the writers, but their beliefs don't really match up.

Also booooo do something new with the setting you fucking cowards. Not every piece of media from a franchise needs to contain all the most famous things from that franchise.

[-] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 39 points 7 months ago

Yes. They hoard pre-war tech, they don't religious about it. Not even in the Bethesda games are they ever religious about it.

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 7 months ago

They did have a chaplain I think, in the first or second game, I can't remember which. But they were more like a regular military chaplain, not a specially religious leader.

[-] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago

Yea, okay, I guess it would be more accurate to say that religion never defined them as a faction in the lore

[-] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The BoS chaplain is, in the lore, supposed to be the go-between of the scribes and the soldiers, basically the armored scientist who has the scientific know-how to know if a site is actually worth further investigation or occupation. Because of this they are also generally in command of larger objective sites.

They are not 'religious leaders' except in the idea that they are the 'heralds of prewar science'.

True, it was more like a belief system or ritualism. Maybe a consequence of mission parameters being upheld over generations.

This is just a bastardization of Bethesda Fallout, which itself is a bastardization of FO1/FO2.

[-] booty@hexbear.net 30 points 7 months ago

oh god they're making a fucking fallout show now? 0% chance this doesn't suck balls

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

There are so many post apocalyptic shows I don’t understand how people don’t get tired of it. I don’t even like elder scrolls but I think television would benefit from some more fantasy that isn’t game of ass and tits (even though elder scrolls is literally a game of ass and tits)

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 7 months ago

The same shit was with the zombies, for years they were fucking everywhere. Fortunately it did finally got old somewhat but it was like 2 decades and still can't disappear entirely.

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 4 points 7 months ago

Yeah as a big fan of the OG Romero zombie movies the weird glut of them the past couple decades was just... a bore

[-] Drewfro66@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 7 months ago

Worst case scenario, it's a horrible Fallout show but a good show in general, so Fallout fans have to sit through friends and family saying "I'm a huge Fallout fan, I love the TV show!" even though it only bears the slightest aesthetic similarity to the franchise's roots.

It might suck but I'm holding out hope that it manages to be good since the trailer got me.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 18 points 7 months ago

I want my T-51b power armor

None of these clanky T-60's and T-45's

[-] CredibleBattery@hexbear.net 10 points 7 months ago

i prefer the T-72, thank you very much

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 16 points 7 months ago

I hope it doesn't suck, or at least that it attracts more people to play FNV

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 24 points 7 months ago

Bethesda seems to like making money off of New Vegas, but they're still very much sore about people liking it more than 3 and 4

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 22 points 7 months ago

They only had to hire non-brain-dead writers, the cheapest thing when making a fucking game, and yet

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 20 points 7 months ago

they planned to have voiced protagonist in starfield despite everyone hating that in 4 because the not-todd howard dipshit "doesn't listen to criticism"

imagine that game being worse

[-] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

Protagonist: "This is just like playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim at Gex's house"

Is that a priest with a censer? Are they making the Brotherhood be religious fanatics?

please be decent

how many good video game shows are there? is it just castlevania? and people kinda liked that twisted metal show?

[-] Budwig_v_1337hoven@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

Last of Us was good
Halo is generally pretty well received, though I felt it was sorta mid (but enjoyable enough, I guess)

this just reminded me, amazon is still doing that Disco Elysium show I believe lt-dbyf-dubois

Big yikes. That is going to be horrendous. And not even in a funny way. I can't wait for Cuno to just be an innocent little guy who says a swear every now and then. And of course

Will be revealed as the twist villain or something and wanting to destroy everything because he's just an evil badguy commie.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 7 months ago

If Disco Elysium Amazon series gets announced I will do the panel where it's the Joker and all of the background is Ha Ha Ha.

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 7 months ago

I really don't understand how that could be even done in a tv show, everything about it is just so anti-modern pop culture, the characters are all deeply flawed and various flavours of awful (except Kim, Kim is great) and there's so much ugliness on display, very raw, human ugliness that big companies refuse to show in their media, I can't see it existing except as one of those things that youtubers make video essays about "how not to do an adaptation."

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

If removed from a profit motive, let me fucking at that one. I'd do each season as a different play through. Like groundhog day but each time is a full season and also it's Disco Elysium

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 9 points 7 months ago

Kim is a cop, so he is deeply flawed too.

Forgot about Last of Us, I liked it a lot

Did people like Halo? I always heard it was very uninspired

[-] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I expected Halo to be worse tbh

I don't think I finished the first season but I watched more than half of it, which I did not think I would do going into it.

The interactivity is what set Fallout apart from the Sci fi it aped from in the first place, if it's not a game it's just what if mad max was also the 50s

Me bearing witness to Oblivion with Guns: Look what they did to my beloved franchise. It can't possibly get worse.

Looks pretty cool, I wonder how the religious BoS angle will work out
