Based mostly on the RPG franchise by Interaction and Bethesda, the collection undoubtedly seems to be prefer it belongs with the actual games, and that wasn’t simply the mission assertion—for all intents and functions, that is their concept of Fallout 5.

With the three leads, the creators got here up with a “good hack” to make use of them as a illustration of the video games’ RPG mechanics, and to additionally draw on Sergio Leone’s The Good, The Unhealthy, & the Ugly for additional inspiration. “Having these characters occupy these very completely different corners of the fallout universe gave us an opportunity to embody among the ambition of the video games,” he defined. “Not simply by way of world constructing, however by way of morality and by way of the grey space.
