yeah, I've come to think that it's actually a pretty interesting attempt to feature someone who's mildly autistic as a main character. it's the only explanation for all the somewhat unpredictable mood shifts, the over-all immaturity, & the occasional sudden cold-blooded efficiency
Contradicting lore or retconning it is worthy of notice. And its somewhat (IMO) concerning if the current FA creators don't care about those things. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they say the show was canon? They could've done what Halo series did, just say it's some alternate universe stuff.
But NV wasnt retconned in this series, if you watch the whole thing you would know that, that's why these bellends on social saying it got Retconned admit they never watched it to the end
I feel like this is Alan Wake 2 all over again with the insane whining about every little thing.
amen. god save us all from 'canon'...
The irony of this coming from you. Didn't you call someone a "sad pathetic man baby" before the mods deleted it? Maybe lay off the hypocrisy.
That guy ain't no "super fan" lol. He's another culture war reactionary that get mindbroken by any inkling of diversity. People like Oxhorn and TKs-Mantis are superfans.
He is the luckiest bastard in the Wasteland. He just keeps falling up!
Particularly when I was specifically looking forward to seeing NCR - I mean, this was our first chance to see it since Fallout 2 in 1998. And in live action, dream come true!
Do you guys honestly feel that Fallout TV is doing all of these things and that the creatives feel this way?
Dunno if it's specifically canon about cold fusion, but it is canon that there were resource/energy wars leading up to the bombs dropping, so it's highly likely that multiple teams across the world were looking into cheap, renewable, large scale energy programs, so could have eventually stumbled upon a working formula for it
I would agree with this if the character was at all consistent for someone who is autistic, but the actor does have moments where he is very charismatic. I just don't think he is a very good actor, honestly. If it truly was a writing decision, then the writers should have leaned into the autism angle. It would make audiences emphasize with him more and also allow for off-putting comedic moments that would perfectly fit with the show. Maximus just isn't very likeable
i'm not seeing the character's being either charismatic at times or unlikable at others negating the possibility of him being autistic. quite the contrary, it's the inconsistency that first made me suspect the possibility. like I mentioned, maybe i'm just imagining it all, & it's just a bad script/actor as you suggest. but, given what we have, damn if it doesn't explain & account for an awful lot of the character's behavior & responses...
just watched the last 2 episodes, & really enjoyed the series for the most part. I've been sorta shocked to discover just how damned seriously a number of people take their fallout games. i've always loved them, & respected the creativity & effort involved in their production, but never for a moment have I ever imagined taking them quite that seriously...
Yeah, I think some people can be overly harsh about things. Especially these days. But in the end, people have their own opinions, and no one is right or wrong.
That's actually a pretty funny moment.
That's a good name
One of the dlcs in 3 I think had the alien ship you could get a gun and alien power cells, that's about the closest I can think of. There is also the mass fusion quest in f4 that may have more info on energy sources if you read the terminals, if I did bother reading them I can't remember it.
