Is it a zombie thing, the no nose goggins. Looks stupid? But you guys rave.

Post-nuclear holocaust America where a society has begun to rebuild but is dealing with post-apocalyptic scarcity and all the nastiness that brings out in people as well as certain groups that wish to be the guiding hand in rebuilding. But this story is told through the lens of comedic absurdity.

I have never played the game, but watched season 1 and enjoyed it.

You just have to ignore some of the holes in the show.

In my mind anything with Walton Goggins is worth checking out without really knowing anything about the story. The guy is a true gem.

I’ve played the games a bunch (fallout is my wife’s favourite franchise) and they very much made elements of the TV show based on the game, the story has very little to do with the game.

Fallout 4’s main storyline is that you become cryogenically frozen in a vault with your wife and infant son during nuclear war. At some point your wife and infant son are thawed out, she is killed and he is kidnapped. You’re then trying to find your missing son throughout Boston post nuclear war.
