Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show
-
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.
shut up todd.

It's cheaper to make hollywood slop than video games.

Is it just me or does this feel tone deaf?
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.

Good news everyone, we created the Torment Nexus reality TV show, from the game "Don't create the Torment Nexus"
I'm half expecting Peter Thiel to say "maybe we should build a bunch of fallout shelters and then initiate a nuclear holocaust so we can outlast all our enemies, and also run some experiments while we're at it" in an interview tomorrow, wearing a vault suit and giving a thumbs up.

Breaking news! Zenimax is still completely out of touch with it's fan base.

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.

Sometimes I forget people don't have Game Pass lol. I haven't bought anything from Steam in over 5 years.
So it's not free, you have to give Bethesda/Microsoft money every month and when you stop doing so, you lose access to all the games. Game Pass Ultimate has tripled in price over 8 years and there's no reason to believe they won't keep raising it. Lower tiers haven't risen as much I guess, but have been nerfed instead (no more day 1 new games, yay)
If you have a TON of free time, game pass is a good deal for sure, but at this point with all the price hikes, a few months of game pass is one brand new AAA game or 2-3 excellent indie or AA titles and I'd wager it takes the average adult several months to finish one truly big game like BG3 or Elden Ring (just to name two excellent games with decent scope from recent years), as time is a scarce resource.

Real life vault 106 let's gooooo
-
that's just real life at this point, with algo social media
What if we made it Vault 68, 69, or 43. No psychological torture required for any of them. That or if you really want to fuck with someone we have Vault 77 or Vault 12, Vault 12 would be particularly vile since then you'd have to be in Bakersfield.

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?
Todd Howard cannot hear you for he is too busy CHIMing.

Of course, gotta milk the success of the show for all it's worth. Amazon is gonna fumble the bag so hard if they try to keep cashing in like this.

Testing SPECIAL with games seems boring. They should do a multi layered social deduction game instead, where everyone has different goals, lies to another and nobody really understands what is going on until the end.
So some contestants are actors, and think they know where the show is going, but they are tricked as well.

Vault 108. Only one actual Gary, but everyone needs to pretend to be Gary. The exact rules need some thinking but it shouldn't be too hard to come up with something.

I was thinking irradiate them and give them guns, but your idea works too.

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.
