Fallout [Amazon]

Another cast announcement; Ella Purnell to star in another undisclosed role; haven't watched Yellowjackets so no idea how good/bad an actor she is.

So I've heard, but it'll only go into the Giant Pile marked "things I heard I should watch that are good" lol 😂

Kyle MacLachlan had been cast, another undisclosed role. Could see him as a Vault Tec executive.

Oh yeah, basically anything sleazy is probably a good shout.

There's tonnes of lore to work with, and it'll be interesting to know if we'll visit somewhere visited like Washington, or somewhere new. Or indeed, if we'll leave a Fallout Shelter at all: it's not entirely crazy to think the series might set itself within the confines of a Vault-Tec shelter, Season 1 about trying to battle an Overseer and escaping to a Promised Land ... oops, it's a radioactive hell zone.

My main worry/concern/hope is that the humour is kept intact. The series has never been like Borderlands and drowning in meta snark... but there has been a dark comedic edge informing everything - especially visible in the alt-1950s American iconography.

Looks like it's definitely keeping the 50s Americana anyway

Looks like we're spending time in Vault 32; the set looks absolutely spot-on, as does the Vault Boy themed iconography & design.

I remember in New Vegas there was a quarry that had about a dozen Deathclaws (and an uber one too IIRC); I saw an abandoned crane in the middle so I scarpered over to it as fast as I could. Then managed to glitch my way up its collision mesh so I was sitting at the top (sliding around it like it was an ice rink; ahhhh wonky game engines).

Proceeded to just snipe away at the Deathclaws, happy and smug. Until I realised I hadn't packed nearly enough ammunition for the job, and proceeded to get smushed when I attempted to scarper.

In celebration of the game's 25th anniversary, a first screenshot was dropped of this;
