I'm also really pleased to see they haven't "serious'd" up the pipboy screen. The goofy 50's era cartoon style is an essential counterpoint to the sheer shittiness of the Fallout universe.

Fallout 4 non-ferals have a bit more depth and tan, but texture and overall looks line up, I'd say. Not sure if it will get touched up. Not sure it needs it either. It may be for the best if the zombie doesn't look to close to 2015 video game graphics.
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!
Why is the rum always gone?
Hard to say. Based on the older games, full Brotherhood complete with airship puts it pretty far along the Fallout timeline (though not to the end of F4).
But 76 retconned a lot more than I thought, so it could be the next tuesday based on that timeline.
Never played Halo but enjoyed the first season so hopefully Fallout will be fun too for someone who only knows that Modiphius made a board game and RPG of it.
Eh. Disappointed by the vibe of gore for the sake of gore.
It also almost looks authentic in a way that doesn't actually translate from game to show. Stuff that when done 1-1 just looks goofy in a more live-action environment.

“Fallout 4 takes place in the year 2287, ten years after the events of Fallout 3 and 210 years after the Great War, a war between the United States and China over natural resources that ended in a nuclear holocaust in 2077.”
So 9 years after the events of Fallout 4 in Boston. A lot could happen in 9 years.
Oxhorn (a popular Fallout streamer) on YouTube brought up some interesting concerns of his regarding the show from what the Vanity Fair article stated. I think he is a bit off base on some of his points but it is odd that the NCR are not mentioned. Hopefully the story does not compress the Brotherhood of Steel with the NCR to just make a typical authoritarian villain faction trope.
I think Oxhorn might be on to something, unfortunately. I imagine that the producers want to fit all the obvious fallout pieces into one show, even if it means cutting pieces off to fit them together. They don't want Fallout: New Vegas or Fallout 4. They want FALLOUT. Even the ghouls are prettied up so a generic audience will find the character appealing. That being said good writers, directors and actors can be make that into a fairly interesting story.
Ask yourself: have you rated a gallery image today?
I mean it's only a trailer so mentioning every single thing that's going to crop up in the show would be a weird thing to expect.
Also, it might just be that having an NCR storyline with what seems to be three others (Vault, Brotherhood, Cowboy Ghoul) would have been too many eggs.
Better to keep it manageable and expand in future seasons.

More curious to see if they mention what happened to Caesar's Legion at some point but I'm not holding my breath that this show is going to be good since they most video game adaptations of RPG's haven't gone very well.
Love everything, even the hated assault rifle from f4

GW:"Space marines got too many options to balance, therefore we decided to legends HH units." Players: "why?!? Now we finally got decent plastic kits and you cut them?" Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?" GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!" Chaos players: Guess i stop playing or go to HH.

What gore? I'm seeing a bit of blood, minimal severed limbs and not a single flying eyeball. What did I miss?
Twenty seven seconds in that's the Ferris wheel on the famous pier in LA (so famous I don't actually know its name ).
It's been forever since I played New Vegas, but I'm not sure if the NCR even extends that far south(west). At least early on it wasn't farther down than Shady Sands.

Ella Purnell's Lucy enters “Philly,” an apparent junkyard that is actually a town of survivors in the remnants of greater Los Angeles who cobbled together their village from scrap.
Fair enough. I was skimming that article and read the first half of that sentence that says "Philly" and I never even read the other half that said "Greater LA"
