    Just get people to agree to live in crowded vaults and have them sign a waver accepting any and all psychological torture performed on them. That's a functional Fallout reality show.

      A reality show vault? Not even Vault-Tec had any experiments that were that cruel.

      Yeah... this seems pretty on brand really.

      Actually, it seems really well themed, a messed up reality show is exactly the kind of thing you might find in a vault. The thing to remember though, is that Vault-Tec is supposed to be satirical... Bethesda should not become Vault-Tec because that would be unethical... Right Bethesda... Right?

        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.

          The crime doesn't have to equate? Why bring up Kevin Spacey's crimes at all? How is that relevant to not liking the direction a franchise went?

          I don't feel that "this franchise went in a bad direction, so now I can't enjoy the previous works" is anything like "this person is a sexual predator, so now I can't enjoy their previous works".

          It would be really awkward to watch a known sexual predator in a movie, even if the movie predates the crime. The existence of the Fallout TV show has no effect on Fallout 1 as a game.

          What a weird turn this conversation took lol

          Are you purposefully missing the point in favor of grandstanding, or did you seriously not understand the comparison for what it was?

            I guess I'm truly not understanding the comparison. I do not see the similarity between having a series ruined because an actor is a sexual predator and having a series ruined because you don't like the sequel. Not sure what part of those scenarios you were comparing, but I'm just not seeing it.

              Or vault 81. One side had a full community to be tested on and observed, the other side had scientists watching the experiment.

              It’s just a shame hardly any scientists showed up. They’d have had some great tv to watch after starting their molerat experiments.

                  I'm not sure what your point is - is it that they made Fallout 76 so you could play it for free? Or that Fallout 76 is proof they're going to make Fallout 5? Or what.

                  There's zero chance there won't be a Fallout 5 but Elder Scrolls is their next major game, so it won't be soon. In the meantime there's a great free Fallout game for anyone who wants it despite it not being titled Fallout 5. It doesn't require a subscription or microtransactions and making it sound like some sort of mobile game only shows you don't know what it is.

                    If it came out tomorrow it wouldn't be "soon," Fallout 4 came out 11 years ago.

                    In the meantime there's a great free Fallout game for anyone who wants it despite it not being titled Fallout 5.

                    The game is currently listed for $39.99 on Steam. Reviews are "mixed" after 5 years of Bethesda adding content to the game, which originally released to overwhelmingly negative reviews, so not "great".

                    It doesn't require a subscription or microtransactions and making it sound like some sort of mobile game only shows you don't know what it is.

                    The game does not charge for a subscription, but you most certainly have to have one, because you have to login to the game. There would be no way for them to try and sell you shit through their microtransaction store every single time you login otherwise. Which they do. You are not obliged to buy them, but you are obliged to view ads for them.

                    Now then. Every single thing you just said is demonstrably wrong. What exactly makes you the authority on what Bethesda intends to do with Fallout?

                              I'd be shocked and appalled by the tone-deafness if Mr. Beast hadn't already literally made a Squid Game style gameshow. Media literacy and irony are both well and truly dead.

                                        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.

                                          Reality show

                                          a series of games

                                          If you want a reality show, just drop people into one of the weirder vaults and that's it.
