\nAmazon’s Fallout TV show has – a few minor controversies<\/a> aside – been a hit with fans since arriving last week; but while it’s covered plenty of the video games’ post-apocalyptic basics across its eight episodes – from Pip-Boys and Power Armour to Vaults and Vault-Tec – not everything’s made the cut.

“We wanted to get Deathclaws, but we didn’t want to just throw it away,” co-showrunner Graham Wagner told the The Wrap<\/a>. “It’s such a monumental piece [of the Fallout mythology].” That’s despite the team’s initial instinct to, as co-showrunner Geneve Robertson-Dworet put it, take a “kitchen sink approach” to incorporating the games’ most recognisable elements for TV.\n<\/p>\n

“There’s all the greatest hit things…that people who aren’t even gamers know about Fallout,” she explained, “like Nuka, deathclaws, whatever. There are these things that are just so prevalent and we were tempted to do all of them in Season 1. But on the other hand, we didn’t want…the show to seem like it was written by people who just spent 10 seconds reading the Wikipedia page for Fallout…So it was important to us to also bring deeper cuts into Season 1”.\n<\/p>\n
