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.

    This IP is my personal star wars that I’m watching turn into slop.

    In ten years I’ll be like one of those star wars fans who tries to bury that old interest with other more mature hobbies

      That ship has sailed.

      That being said, there are lots of good indie RPGs with a similar setting; UnderRail, Atom RPG, Space Wreck.

      The biggest issue is that indies struggle with making third-person fully 3D RPGs.

        I mean, that’s how Fallout literally started. I don’t need full 3d, I just need something with half of a soul and not made in the latest Unreal Engine

      sad way to live that you dont allow yourself to enjoy things anymore because of things completely out of your control

        Sometimes there’s just not new enjoyment to be had? Like, I had my golden years with it. But the way markets effect things like IP, there just isn’t a reason to linger. Finding new hobbies can be rejuvenating too.

        Edit: also it means I’ll get to have wistful moments in the future where some random thing makes me pause and reflect on all the feelings I associate with Fallout. Before melodramatically sweeping all those feelings aside and double down on whatever new fascination I’m currently pursuing
