"Fallout changed the game when it came to video game adaptations. The Prime Video series came across like a response to HBO's , but zigged where zagged. The Last of Us was incredibly faithful to the original game, often feeling like a shot-for-shot remake. But Fallout took the exact opposite approach: its story was set in the world of the Fallout video games, but the characters and story were completely new, even incorporating pre-apocalypse flashbacks."
"This new update, entitled Burning Springs, is set in a post-apocalyptic Ohio, the state that borders West Virginia, the setting for the main game. Burning Springs is clearly meant to echo the tone of the upcoming Fallout Season 2, which will visit the town of New Vegas from the previous Fallout game Fallout: New Vegas. There's even a mini golf course full of giant dinosaur statues, much like New Vegas' Dinky the T-Rex."
Fallout TV series diverged from faithful adaptations by creating original characters and pre-apocalypse flashbacks set within the Fallout game world. That approach succeeded and influenced cross-media expansions. Season 2 will visit New Vegas and echo elements from Fallout: New Vegas. Bethesda previewed a Fallout 76 update called Burning Springs set in post-apocalyptic Ohio, including a mini golf course with giant dinosaur statues reminiscent of New Vegas' Dinky the T-Rex. Burning Springs adds a bounty hunter game element starring The Ghoul (Cooper Howard) with original voice lines from Walton Goggins. Timeline placement of The Ghoul remains unclear but likely precedes other events due to Fallout 76's early setting.
