    Just saw the power armor fight last night. I just see it as application of video game logic, and kind of appreciated it that way. Ghoul dude is clearly wearing some armor or something since he tanked bullets to the back. I mean, in the games you can tank a nuke if you’re wearing the right armor.

    If you watch it as Fallout: The TV Show rather than a TV show set in the Fallout universe, it all feels very natural.

      lol, yea. Ghoul has levelled up a few times so he is more of a bullet sponge than random NPCs :)

      That’s fair, which is the reason I’m giving it a pass. It does feel like it’s embracing video game logic which is fine by me. Not everything needs to be realistically believable to be fun to watch. Thanks for writing that, it’s helping shift my perspective a bit, I want to enjoy it and I think this will help.

      Some of the dialog sounds exactly like some of the dialog choices right from the games. And I love it.

      He’s also very drugged with the healing stuff fighting off the radiation poisoning.
