“No, I haven’t sat down to play the games,” said Walton Goggins, who plays pre-war movie star Cooper Howard and his post-war counterpart The Ghoul. “And I won’t. I won’t. I won’t play the games. I’m not interested.”

The reason is actually pretty simple: Goggins doesn’t want to think of the world or the characters of Fallout as elements of a game.

“All of a sudden, I’m looking at this world from a very different perspective, and as something on a screen in which I am an avatar in. I don’t believe that I’m an avatar. I believe The Ghoul exists in the world. I believe that Cooper Howard exists in the world.” he said.

“The best way that I can serve this world and serve the fans of this game, I think, is to go to work every single day and believe the circumstances that I’m presented with,” Goggins said.

          I do think that some people are being a bit harsh to you, but you’re making an extreme assessment of a show that you didn’t even get past the first episode of.

            im aware that i cant make an assessment of the entire show based on the most-of-an-episode i watched, that’s why i mentioned it. the response isn’t “it gets better” or “i can see how it looks that way”, it’s “you’re crazy, stupid, or farming downvotes” (the last is especially funny as my instance doesn’t display downvotes). i said what i watched and that i hated it so much that i didn’t bother to watch anymore, if it isn’t representative of the rest of the show nobody’s bothered to tell me as much among all the name-calling and narrativizing about me.

      You are either having an extreme reaction to this show or you have not watched many shows. There are thousands of worse shows than this and that’s only considering English language TV.

      Note Im not saying I like the show. I like Fallout as a game series and couldnt get past episode 3. Im just saying there are many worse shows and it would be easy to come up with 100 worse shows.
