Fallout Shelter (working title) is a new reality competition series based on the hit Amazon drama and computer game of the same name. The dwellers (contestants) live together in a top-secret vault, where they will compete in a series of games that tests the seven core attributes from the Fallout world. Strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility and luck (S.P.E.C.I.A.L).

The series will not only test dwellers’ core attributes, but also their loyalty and alliances. It’s a game of power dynamics, popularity and social strategy which will ultimately result in a huge cash prize, but do you have what it takes to be the most S.P.E.C.I.A.L?.

I am sort of speechless, but for all the wrong reasons.

      Agreed, but it is a great platform to mod the heck out of. I recommend Wasteland Reborn, if you’re looking for a stable modlist.

      Besides the main story (an incredible important element), it was good. The location lore was interesting. The radiant quests were fucking stupid. Most of the side quests were decent. It’s overhated imo. Nuka-Cola World was boring as shit besides the Hubbologists, I’m not gonna lie.

        The main quest was terrible. Should never center the plot on the player when there’s custom creation and open world. It’s forcing a backstory or behaviour onto the player even if they don’t want it.

        I played a big Michael Clarke Duncan brute rolling melee as Idiot Savant. The intro and main quest was entirely incompatible with character, full of things they wouldn’t have done, would do, or should do.

      I never finished it. I was having a blast until I saw that I needed to collect a bunch of shit to upgrade the town. I lost interest so fast.

        That’s actually one of my favorite parts, it’s like a feed into itself incentive for my already packrat tendencies.

        Now instead of just taking all their weapons/armor/clothes to sell, the random junk is also useful for when I get back home and can upgrade the town, my weapons, or my armor!

        I mean, you can just ignore Sanctuary and the other settlements completely. Honestly, if I play it again, that’ll be what I do.
