Actress Ella Purnell discusses the challenges of incorporating the gameplay loop of the Fallout video game series into her performance as Lucy in the Prime Video adaptation.
The Big Picture One of the greatest challenges in making a good video game adaptation is translating the world and its feel to a medium that no longer allows player control. Prime Video 's Fallout series faced the same hurdles with bringing to life the post-apocalyptic, retrofuturistic reality featured in Bethesda and Interplay's beloved role-playing titles.
"I love research. It's probably my second favorite thing. When you asked me that question earlier, I was gonna say research. I will make playlists, I will imagine what they like to wear, what kind of perfume they would wear, all of these annoying, pretentious actor-y things, but I kind of love them even if they're completely useless. I guess that was playing the game for me. Jonah, Geneva, and Graham, they all told me, 'You don't have to play the game.
Viewers can't control what Lucy does in the series, but Purnell wanted to incorporate even small choices that players experience, like picking up a new weapon, into her performance. The bulk of Lucy's story is also based around choice, from her initial decision of whether to leave Vault 33 to whether or not to help Michael Emerson's Wilzig in Episode 2 while trying to find her father.
Purnell shares the screen with Aaron Moten and Walton Goggins in Fallout Season 1, which is now available in its entirety on Prime Video. Check out our review here for our thoughts on the series.
