No, the Vault Dweller story was original, its why I want to see something original for the film set in the Fallout universe. Lets keep with the theme that every game that comes out has a new person and never has the same person as the main character. What makes Beowulf different from Lord of the Rings? Age for sure, but nothing much other then who the bad guys are and the context of why the hero is fighting the bad guy. I mean to say lets follow tradition in the Fallout way by not having the Vault Dweller, Chosen One, Lone Wanderer or Courier as the main characters because it would be anything other then Fallout to do so. I think tying it in with previous iterations of the stories we have already heard is not really being original. Your wanting to follow a previous example of what works and it doesn't brake the mold so I find it unoriginal. Lets follow that escaped Android, Lets Follow the computer who has found how to leap from one computer to the next observing the world around it, Lets even follow a Ghoul anti hero. Don't tie yourself to just the Vault Dweller. Its Fallout after all.
Ghoul anti hero??? As a first impression to the market of Fallout???? I highly disagree. I agree that you want to be original. But that doesn't mean having to change the whole story line to something people wouldn't understand. I think we need to start the series with the moments before the Great War, and then the story of the VD. So the public see what happened to the world, and the original hero. But why would that be unoriginal when you can make it very original with your shots, writing, etc I just couldn't see how a movie with a ghoul anti hero or something like that would get popular or show what Fallout really is to the general audience. The whole thing would flop. I'm not some guys who just cares about how well it does, but I don't want people to not understand it, hate it, and not pay to see it which kills making a profit on the film. I want people to see the great universe that Fallout is first, then after it gets moderate audiences and people like it then you could do your ghoul anti hero story without more of a chance of it flopping or people not understanding it. Tying myself to the the Vault Dweller? Are you suggesting that the Vault Dweller is "un Fallout"???? He started the whole series! How is he not Fallout enough???? He should be introduced first as the hero while you can have other secondary characters later. I'm not tying myself to him, I'm starting with him because he is the logical choice.
Basically after all that the main idea is that I disagree with 99% of your opinion. but everybody's entitled to their own.
(BTW why make the option to make a movie in FO1 era if you're just gonna flame us for our ideas?) And you said DREAM movie so there's mine.
