Yeah Fallout is more of a setting than anything, and that’s why it’s perfect for an adaptation like this. It benefited great from the fact that they didn’t really have to adapt any characters or any single storyline, but simply created a new story and characters in that world and it still be a faithful adaptation

faithful adaptation

Cue Shady Sands controversy.

It's a good adaptation, but not necessarily a faithful one (though, frankly, I'm not deep enough into the lore to tell, or care).

Looks like New Vegas might show up in season two, so we'll see if and how they make the timelines fit (though if they do it'll have to be a pretty tight fit, seems like).
