I've played every fallout including Tactics. I enjoy good drama. The lore blips don't really matter to me as drama is about people interacting based on their circumstances and relationships, not about whether a specific numbered year matches up to another specific numbered year in a fictional universe. For the purposes of what makes drama work I would say it was a 7/10. Maybe a 7.5 because it had cool fallout stuff in it.

You put words into my mouth. I don't mind some of the "alterations" but as with any creative works and drama-- if it works, it works. People complained of the Brotherhood's cultish acts which deviated from the videogame, but it is in line with real life drama where any organisations do not stay the same overtime. For example, the Catholic Church of today is not the same as the Catholic Church 500 years ago.

I'm wondering if those complaining about the "deviation" played the same games as me. The BoS was as always a bit cultish. While I didn't quite catch it as a kid it was pretty apparent when starting the series over as an adult.

BoS has always been cultish but they're not so much unlike what was portrayed in the show.

I wasnt specifically referring to yourself and no offense was meant.

Oh no, I am talking about the Fallout TV series in general that I don't mind the new lore additions and changes!
