Fallout Show Protagonists’ Stats

So, the new Fallout show is out.

Although some critics aren’t impressed, LOE is (and our audience). Given that we have a group of fans and new Wasteland-wanderers, that’s saying something.

After a quick run-down on how stats work in Fallout, the hosts and chat had a great time essentially dissecting the reasons and jokes of each protagonist’s stats. From Maximus’ Luck to Lucy’s Intelligence to The Ghoul’s Charisma, each character was well-explained, even without the show’s context.

The chat praised the show for the dedication to the source material while creating a new story; something we rarely see in IPs. Chieftain commented on the gore and violence, something Soda and Hiro assured him was because of the game mechanics. 

Major Fallout leads were on-set and actors like Ella Purnell were huge fans with the context of the games in the forefront of their minds. On the other side, actor Walton Goggins wanted to be influenced only by the script and production of the show, being a literal stand-in for new viewers and proving the strength of the writing and direction. 

The show may be set in a post-apocalyptic waste, but the show itself seems to be nothing but bountiful.
