    the duo stumbles across tons of iconic Wasteland locations like New Vegas, a fan favourite Fallout 4 spot, Dinky the T. Rex, and one of the most mysterious cut locations from Fallout: New Vegas.

    Oh no, RockPaperShotgun is using AI to write its articles aren’t they. That’s a shame.

      It’s odd, but the location of Vault 24 is the “Starlight Drive-In Theatre”, which is from 4.

      A human probably would have assumed it was a franchise, or just a reused name though.

        not to be confused with the mojave drive in, which is where old world blues starts

        starlight is where the cut vault 24 might have been had it been made into the game. pretty cool deep cut by the showrunners

        That’s…weird…i can’t help but feel the show runners maybe used some AI in drawing out the story?

    I’m a little excited, I’ve never had a show I wanted to hate watch before. Season one could have been good, I really liked the costuming and set designs. The characters were entertaining enough as well. It was so close to being an easy 8-9/10 for me, but then after a few establishing episodes it had to start having a plot, and that plot was so stupidly bad it dragged the whole experience down to a 5-6 and retroactively embittered the entire franchise in my mind.

      Yeah, the first few episodes of S1 are good but hooooly shit do they fuck with the lore real quick after that. The NCR remnants being like 12 communists was what really did it in for me. That and Hank nuking their fucking capital over his wife leaving him.

      I’m not going into S2 with the intention to hate watch it, but I’m thinking it’ll probably end that way.
