I’ve never played any of the fallout games. Are the games as good as the tv show? Great storylines? Any recommendations on which would I should play if any?

Perhaps I missed something but why did the Ghoul struggle fighting Maximus in his BoS battle armor but in episode 8 used his special one shot technique to go ham on the other BoS bots?

same reason the armors jet pack during that fight allows super flight. while every where else the armor needs pulleys, and has no flight capabilities at all.

And all the other inconsistencies. The writers don't give that much of a shit. every scene is written in isolation.

that scene one of the things that really pissed me off in episode 8. struggled against power armor worn by someone that has no idea how to use it. then yeah, 1 shots 5 guys in power armor in the dark, in episode 8. they fucking have night vision..
that scene was really really stupid. theres "the ghoul is cool and skilled", and then theres "ayra stark."

I too am struggling with how attractive or unattractive Lucy aka G-o-o-s-e-y is. Some scenes, yeah I would and some scenes, no thank you.

Scared of getting your pimple popped. Couldnt stand Maximus.

Yeah I loved everything about this except for the casting of Maximus. Still a 10/10 from me though.

Eh he got better as it went along. Can't tell if he's bipolar as fuck or retarded. Possibly both.

you guys should just say "he's black" and move on

Pretty sure BoS are are just idiots in the show. Everyone was naive or dumb outside of ghoul

Loaded up new vegas for the first time in 10 years. Man even the initial cutscene was better than anything in this show. Got all the viva las vegas mods too. It looks a lot better than my old PS3.

I think if he wasn't such a bitter bitch and he got the suit from Rapaport dying on his own it would have been a little better. Dude wasn't around for a day and let's him die and is a retard with the suit. I don't get how Rapaport was such an idiot either though

I really didn't find his performance jarring at all. I think the character is meant to be seen as naive and a bit clueless at the start and he gets shaken by his idealized worldview being shit on by Titus being a coward and asshole. He has a lot of arrested development and so he's finding his way so I think it makes sense that he's a bit all over the place. Him with the power armor is like a 16 year old nerd being given a fast car and a wad of cash.

For some reason the quirkiness of Titus worked for me. Whether it was intentional or not I chalked it up to the character being traumatized as a child and brainwashed by the BoS.

Overall I enjoyed the show and liked most the characters with their goofy interactions, but that ending was ham fisted Hollywood horse shit that left me unsatisfied.

Assuming you mean Maximus? Titus was the knight that died from the yao guai.

It almost makes you wonder how the Brotherhood of Steel survives training nothing but idiots.

Like I mentioned, BoS came off as complete retards, but also so did everyone in vaults. You wear Geiger counters but everyone takes them off when finally opening a vault.

Barricading yourself with weapons/readers and then tossing it all before you open the vault makes zero sense
