Aside from the whole nuclear wasteland thing, the Fallout games are a lot like real life in the sense that it's hard to find a nice, interesting guy to fall in love with. There are always beautiful and complicated women around — nearly all of New Vegas' "sleeping partners" are female, and Fallout 4's French synth maid Curie is still one of the most beloved romance options in the series, despite her inexperience. But the Fallout TV show's ambitious male lead, Maximus, is the franchise's first to enjoy a truly intimate relationship.
Though, it doesn't seem that way at first. Initially, Max looks too calloused by his environment to handle something as soft as love. As a fledgling member of the militaristic Brotherhood of Steel, Maximus knows only hunger, fealty, and power. But after meeting protagonist Lucy, the sunny Vault dweller, Maximus starts entertaining less demanding bonds, like those built on trust and affection. You may know them as the stuff of an honest relationship.
