Fallout changed the game when it came to video game adaptations. The Prime Video series came across like a response to HBO’s The Last of Us, but Fallout zigged where The Last of Us zagged. The Last of Us was incredibly faithful to the original game, often feeling like a shot-for-shot remake. But Fallout took the exact opposite approach: its story was set in the world of the Fallout video games, but the characters and story were completely new, even incorporating pre-apocalypse flashbacks.
It was a big risk, but it more than paid off. Now, the Fallout series is going back to its roots and incorporating this new story with the old one — and its fan-favorite star is coming along for the ride.
