When it comes to creating anything related toFallout, Todd Howard is the man you want on board. Acting as the Game Director and Producer for the series, few people would be quite as in tune with what is needed to make a Fallout game feel authentic.
So, when Jonathan Nolan sat down with Todd Howard to ideate for the now-released series, ideas began to fly like fireworks. There’s a lot to cover when it comes to a game series that’s been going on since 1997, but Howard knew there was one specific moment that had to make it to the final cut of the show.
Todd Howard Wanted One Iconic Moment From the Games in the TV Show
Every game in theFalloutseries is a survival story. There are other nuances, but at the end of the day, the player must navigate and overcome the challenges posed by a post-apocalyptic world. While the character usually begins their journey from the inside of a Vault, they must soon leave if they are to find their destiny.

This is themoment Todd Howard wanted to capturein the series. Exiting the Vault is more than just exposing the character to the new world; it’s abandoning the safety and security provided by the structure as well. It’s almost like a baby taking their first steps, and the reveal of the world leaves gamers both excited and worried.
We can kind of view it through their eyes – we try to do that in the games, obviously – and kind of earn that moment of like, what is it like for them to leave the safety?
This is what Howard had to say in a quick interview withIGNwhen asked about things that were imperative to the creation of the live-action feature. It’s an inciting moment in the games and sets the stage for expanding the world as the character comes face-to-face with the effects of nuclear war on people and the environment.
The Series is a Faithful Adaptation of the Game Franchise
The series was made available just today, but the reviews for the show are very positive. Live-action adaptations of games don’t usually perform well, with rare exceptions such asThe Last of Us.The idea to create an entirely original storyfor the show was a combined effort by Todd Howard and Jonathan Nolan in a bid to follow the theme of the games.

No two games in the series have stories that merge or continue from one another. While the show will feature a unique narrative as well, they won’t be offering a fresh story every season, as that would require a constant change of cast.
Expect some moments of laughter along with the trauma, as Nolan wanted to include comedic elements within the series. Humor was never a central focus of the games, so it will be interesting to see how the director can squeeze smiles out of a world that has been decimated by nuclear strikes.

Gaming was one of my earliest passions then along came writing, and here we are. I’ve been in the content creation space for several years now and as gamer for even longer. From understanding the complexities of a multilayer narrative to the simply joy of “big gun go boom”, my goal is to capture all the emotions in between and put them down in an engaging manner.
