Amazon Prime’s Fallout TV show is set to release on 11th April 2024 but fans already have a huge checklist of things that they want to see in the TV show. Fans of the Fallout games have a huge checklist of moments that they would love to appear on the TV show.
The Fallout games are peppered with fantastic moments that have etched their place in fans’ hearts. So, it remains to be seen how the TV show based on the franchise handles these moments and which ones make it to the big screen.
We have compiled a list of 5 moments from the Fallout games that fans would love to see in Amazon Prime’s Fallout TV show.
5. Liberty Prime Turns on Enclave
Originally designed as a weapon to liberate Anchorage, Alaska from Chinese forces, the unstable power core of Liberty Prime rendered it useless. However, two hundred years later, the Brotherhood of Steel got their hands on the giant robot and fixed the power issue that saw it taking to the streets to wreak vengeance against the Enclave.
The scene where Liberty Prime shoots lasers from its heads while spouting propaganda like, “embrace democracy or you will be eradicated.” is easily one of the most iconic shots of the expansion pack Fallout 3: Broken Steel.
4. Nuking Megaton
Every Fallout game features a town where players learn the ropes about the new world. Megaton is that town in Fallout 3. But after the tutorials are over, players get to learn that they would have to annihilate Megaton. The small village was pretty unsightly, but its occupants were the player’s first contact in the Wastelands. Nuking Megaton sets the tone for Fallout 3.
The TV show could incorporate a version of these events to showcase the brutality of the Wastelands and set the tone for the rest of the show.
3. Getting Power Armor
Power Armor is the epitome of weaponized armor in the Fallout universe. The trailer for the TV show has already shown us glimpses of the Power Armor. And fans are no doubt excited to see the steel-enmeshed monstrosities take on every challenge in the Wastelands. Bethesda Games is known to flaunt the armor at any given opportunity in the game as it is ridiculously difficult to wield. Fans can only hope that the TV show is going to follow the same direction and give fans a lot of time with the Power Armor.
2. Quest To Find Tandi
The trailer for Amazon’s Fallout TV show features a brief, blink-and-miss reference to Shady Sands. In the original Fallout game, the player is tasked with a mission to rescue Tandi, who is the daughter of the leader of the Shady Sands. This quest was unique back in 1998 because of the variety of choices available to the player, all of which led to different outcomes.
While the different outcomes would be difficult to portray in the TV series, a quest to find Tandi might just give the show enough time to lay out the huge expanse of Wastelands for the viewers.
1. The Lottery of Nipton
The Lottery of Nipton is an incident of unparalleled savagery and brutality. While reaching the city of Nipton, the player comes face to face with a bumbling madman who rambles about winning a lottery while running away from the town. Only when the player turns the corner do they begin to grasp what that man was saying. Ceaser’s legion had carried out the death sentence on the town, with one twist. Through the means of a lottery, one person was let go and another person was crippled. Everybody else was executed on the crucifixes that lined the road.
Including this scene would mean that the TV show will stay true to the gory themes of the Fallout franchise video games.
