Todd Howard reveals his favorite moment from the Fallout television show, and in hindsight it's real

Published on January 01, 0001

Todd Howard recently shared his favorite moment from Amazon's hit television series, and if you've been keeping up with his work over the years it'll come as absolutely no surprise: It's the transition from the safety of the Vault to the dangers of the wide open world.

"I still love the moment that Lucy comes out of the vault," Howard says in a new Q&A video. "I think that captures so much. It's an earned moment, and visually a really, really beautiful one."

Rolling back the massive vault door and walking out into the sunlight has been an essential part of the Fallout experience going all the way back to the very first game—it's as iconic as Ron Perlman saying "war never changes" (although got to say it for the show.) But for Howard it's an element of storytelling that goes beyond just the Fallout series: It's a "step out moment" that's become a staple of Bethesda RPGs.

My favorite of Bethesda's step-outs is exiting the sewers at the start of Oblivion: It happened to be nighttime when I first made my escape in that game, and the สล็อต darkness and quiet made for a genuinely breathtaking moment—I really felt like I was busting out and slipping off into the darkness. Fallout 3 is a close second because it was the first time I'd experienced the Fallout world from that perspective, and my eyes adjusting to the blinding light to slowly take in the devastated landscape made for a hell of a start.

Howard said his priority for the Amazon series is that it was "authentic" and "true to the world of Fallout" without repeating stories that p31 เครดิตฟรี 188 have already been told, because to him it represents "a new entry" in the series—which is another good reason for getting that big moment into the show.

"So just like we approach a game, where we're gonna tell a new story, put in a new location, the show does that. It's exciting for us that people who maybe want a new experience, now they can in a new way, and people that never have, they get the opportunity."

"There's a lot of post-apocalyptic entertainment, but there's nothing like the world of Fallout," Howard said. "It can be very dramatic, it can be suspenseful, it can be scary, it has action. It also has some comedy, it has a certain type of violence. Weaving those things together is really really tricky and I think they've done an incredible job of it."

The Fallout series on Amazon is the latest game-to-television translation that's become a major hit: It ranked among the top three most-watched shows on Prime Video, and almost immediately after it debuted, a .
