I feel like they'd be better off just making a post apocalyptic show without Fallout attached. 

Probably not.  At least from the standpoint of money.  Maybe in terms of making a better story.

I can say that for me, personally, i wouldn't have clicked on this thread if it didn't say Fallout.

One potential of a Fallout Themed show is the levity that exists in Fallout that DOES not exist in most if not all Apocalyptical shows and movies. They are all so super cereal. In Fallout you get characters like Mr Fantastic, Fisto, Three Dog, Moira, The King, The Tunnel Snakes, Lily, MacCready (Mayor and Merc), and the Sarcastic Jerk Sole Survivor. Quests where you help a cult die in a broken amusement park ride, help Ghouls launch themselves to the moon, become a porn star, Fight off a group of murderous grandmas, help fill a brothel with diverse clientele, The Antagonizer vs Mechanist, GARY, GARY, GARY, the Republic of Dave etc. 

I really hope the show embraces the absurdity of the game series.

It won't. I'm sure they will make it really serious.

This is being produced by the westworld people so 100%.

Yup, and then in that case, it's just a post apocalyptic world with Fallout slapped on. I'll still watch it! But in a TV medium, I'm not so sure the Fallout story is that exciting.

First thing that popped into my head was some bastardized mix of Man in High Castle and Walking Dead. Ragtag survivor group gets wrapped up in a resistance movement against the Enclave Nazis. 

Yuck. Yuck, Yuck YUCK.

Imagine having access to the Fallout IP and making a show/movie about the Enclave storyline rather than Super Mutants and Master. That'd be like having the Warcraft IP and making a movie/show about the First War rather than any of the actual cool storylines in that series.

Just take the some of the exact dialogue and script, and the entire story, of Fallout 1 with a huge budget and you have a real chance at a great show.

I wish they'd do more remasters for PS4. I'd like to play another. 4 was excellent. I can't see how they wouldn't start this in a vault unless it's a similar starting to 4 so you can see the world before and after the nukes.
