    I (unrelatedly) finally started playing new Vegas just a few days ago. Is the show any good?

      I haven’t watched it, but my understanding is they fucked up the NCR. Someone on rock-paper-shotgun described it as “Bethesda wants fallout to be kitschy mad max and nothing more”, and that felt pretty apt. But again I haven’t watched it so I’m just second hand griping.

        That’s pretty much it. Bethesda hand-of-gods Fallout to never develop too far, for an eternal shantytown aesthetic with super mutant orcs and Brotherhood everywhere.

        Ehhh kind of? After watching it, it feels a lot more like they want to show the rebuilding of the NCR, so I wouldn’t exactly say they did things to the NCR just because they wanted a more Mad Max Apocalypse style.

      The show is pretty good honestly. As a pretty big fan of the franchise I’m enjoying it compared to the dumpster fire that is Halo.

      It’s not The Wire or The Sopranoes.

      It is genuinely fun and bingeable.
