With the recent success of Prime Video's series, there's a real allure to returning to and making it feel more like its television counterpart. The show is not based on any of the games before it, instead adapting the world but bringing it to life with different characters and a brand-new story. The series feels like an unapologetic and authentic member of thegaming franchise, but some mods can turn the tables and give the same feel as the TV show.
On the timeline, the series is set roughly nine years after the events of, with the former taking place in 2287 and the latter in 2296. The biggest notable differences between the two are omissions from the series, such as Super Mutants and Synths, which will likely be filled in as the series develops over multiple seasons. Regardless, the show has a distinct style that, with the addition of several mods, can translate seamlessly into.
With all the types of creatures in the vile landscape, it's always been one of 's biggest blemishes that the character creator only produced humans. Granted, this fits into the story of a human family member who loses their partner and their child, but considering the prologue is so short, more options for characters would've been a major bonus. Fortunately, the community took it upon themselves to change this for good.
With the Revamped Playable Ghoul Mod on Nexus Mods by author cebius2, players can take on the persona of Walton Goggins' The Ghoul from the show.

The Revamped Playable Ghoul mod is a must to make the game feel more like the series.
Ella Purnell's Lucy is one of 's true standouts, acting as a conduit for audience members with less experience with the franchise's malignant surface world. She is a vault dweller from Vault 33, and more of a pacifist than anyone else in the show. The only weapon she brings with her is a tranquilizer pistol, which she resorts to using several times, but is less than effective.
Tranquilizer darts do exist in (The Syringer), but players can download the Select Blaster mod from Nexus Mods author neeher to unlock a carbon copy of Lucy's weapon. However, the pistol is an energy weapon that can put enemies down for good. It may not be a one-for-one recreation in terms of function, but it's a strikingly similar design and a blast to use in the wasteland.

A player-run troupe of actors will be performing an adaptation of Richard III in Fallout 76, featuring a "ghoul" in the lead role.

This production will likely be more faithful to the bard than to Amazon Prime. It will open with the lines: "Now is the nuclear winter of our discontent."

Fallout is a show totally committed to its world. This instinct goes deeper than just embracing the irreverent tone, lore, or story of the games the Prime Video series adapted.

There is this little TV show currently making headlines. You may have heard of it. It's called Fallout and it has been met with scores of praise across the board (we awarded it four stars).
The Fallout TV show Easter eggs keep coming and coming as viewers pour over all the details in the video game adaptation. However, this latest one has us stumped as it’s been under our noses this whole time.
Of Fallout’s narrative high notes, the peak is arguably Fallout: New Vegas, the much-loved installment set in post-apocalyptic Vegas and crafted by Obsidian Entertainment, members of which have shepherded the Fallout aesthetic all the way from the Wasteland games to the Outer Worlds. And although Obsidian were fated never to helm another mainline Fallout game, they did get to revisit the universe four times before being ripped away by cruel reality. It’s those four twists on the formula, those four adventures into the unknown, that we’re here to celebrate today. At the height of their storytelling powers, Obsidian gave us some of the best sci-fi in games with the four Fallout: New Vegas add-ons: Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and Lonesome Road. Each veered sharply away from the standard Fallout formula in its own different direction, while simultaneously painting in the secret overstory of the New Vegas universe and the player character, the Courier.
Crawl out through the fallout, baby! I've watched two episodes of Amazon's recently released Fallout TV show, a series for and about Walton Goggins' rizz (a thing the kids say). I've been on the Goggins hype train for over a decade at this point, and it's great that - oh sorry, I'm being told that the Fallout TV show is in fact about Bethesda's post-nukepocalypse RPG series of video games, and as such has given a massive player bump to said video games on Steam.
