As fans of the Fallout games<\/a> wait in anticipation to see just how faithful the TV show<\/a> is to its source material, Todd Howard, the king of video game development, has said the series can actually do one thing the games can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

The Prime Video<\/a> series will star Ella Purnell as vault-dweller Lucy MacLean, after an apocalyptic disaster wipes the face of Los Angeles for good.<\/p>\n

Along the way, we also meet Maximus (Aaron Moten) and the eerie character The Ghoul (Walton Goggins) in the wasteland.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a Q&A after a special screening in London, Howard, who has led development of the Fallout games, said: \u201cAs I think about the franchise, the one thing the show is able to do that we were really never able to do in the games in the ways that we would have loved, is show so much of the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause that\u2019s one of the things that really makes the world of Fallout special.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo the way the show mines that, Walton\u2019s character and the other things that occur in the past, filling in all those things with Vault-Tec, and I don\u2019t want to get into spoilers, either, but they just did so many great things and the way we discussed it, there was so much to mine there in the franchise that would be both additive to it, and also really, really special for if you\u2019re already a fan of the series.\u201d<\/p>\n

Show creator Jonathan Nolan added that taking from the Fallout universe is like \u201chaving the world\u2019s greatest train set\u201d.<\/p>

He added: \u201cWe had early conversations with Geneva [Robertson-Dworet] and Graham [Wagner, co-showrunners] in terms of our favourite moments from the games.<\/p>\n
