One of the people in charge of keeping the TV show authentic was studio design director Emil Pagliarulo, a Bethesda veteran who’s been closely involved with the Fallout series since its breakout third instalment, released in 2008.<\/p>\n
He tells Newsbeat there was an early decision to keep the TV show “canon” – that would become a guiding principle.<\/p>\n
That meant “everything that happens in the show happened in the games, or will happen in the games,” says Emil.<\/p>\n
Fallout, first launched in 1997, has a deep well of established lore the series’ biggest fans know well and feel protective of.<\/p>\n
Emil admits there was some “back-and-forth” between the TV and gaming sides, especially earlier on.<\/p>\n
“It’s difficult because TV’s an entirely different medium,” he says. <\/p>\n
“It’s really about getting the tone right, but they were very respectful of where we wanted to take it.”<\/p>\n
He says the strict adherence to the video games’ timeline did result in the “occasional late-night text” from the TV show’s set. <\/p>\n
“Hey, we’re filming tomorrow, we had this question,” recalls Emil. <\/p>\n
“Is this\u2026 canonically right?” <\/p>\n
“It was always a back-and-forth. It’s really fun.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the people in charge of keeping the TV show authentic was studio design director Emil Pagliarulo,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":320954,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-320953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=320953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/320954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=320953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=320953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=320953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
