game and the adaptation<\/a> in 2019, a lot of the concerns of the games felt almost quaint. Retro-futuristic. <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cAnd sadly, I\u2019ve been saying, you know, that was about three apocalypses ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cSadly, since then, every year \u2013 whether it was the global pandemic or renewed violence in Europe and the Middle East \u2013 unfortunately, now the games seem rather prescient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cI would like the games to seem less prescient, frankly. I\u2019d like the series to feel a little less prescient, but I think one of the things that has been of some comfort to us in the middle of a global set of circumstances that I can only describe as a s**t show has been being able to talk about these things with a sense of humour, and I think that has been a bit of an expiation for all of us.\u201d<\/span><\/p> The game series, which has often been praised as one of the best ever created, has become known for its blend of dark humour amid the even darker circumstances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIt\u2019s something that Purnell also found attractive when deciding to take on the leading role.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s balancing fun, sort of comedy and drama,\u201d she said. \u201cSomehow, they managed to make the apocalypse really quite funny, and I think that that is very unique to Fallout.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nThe Fallout series is told through the eyes of three key characters \u2013 Lucy, a vault dweller who comes to the surface; Cooper Howard, aka The Ghoul (Walton Goggins), a man who\u2019s seen more of the devastating effects of the apocalypse than most; and Maximus (Aaron Moten), a member of a military-style faction known as the Brotherhood of Steel, intent on instilling law and order to the wasteland above.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[squirrel-affiliate-playlist squirrel_playlist_id=\u201d609\u2033 \/]<\/p>\n
All three are original characters created for the series, though all are based in factions created within the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAcknowledging bringing a game such as this to life was a \u201cbig undertaking\u201d, Nolan added that they wanted to maintain the essence of elements of the game while carving out their own version of the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWe really wanted to have a high level of fidelity to the costumes, the props. We looked at all the games, but we looked at Fallout 4 probably more than any of the other games, and Fallout 76 a little bit, in terms of the specific design elements,\u201d he said. <\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWe love the T-60 [power armour]. We love that suit. So, I think in terms of deviations, things that we added to the canon, it\u2019s less about things we added and more about what we got right.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
