I find the opposite much more attractive. "The Road" is a bit more realistic etc. I always found the struggle for survival, the "little" problems (no water, no food, everything fucked up, radiated) much more interesting than killing mutants, guys running around in power armor etc.
Though I hadn't seen the film, just read the book. It's not showing in my country and that ninjavideo site isn't working for me.

I like a balance between the grunginess of The Road and the kind of exaggerated crazy world of Fallout. I want more civilisation than The Road, but I can live without the power armour and miniguns. I loved reading about the political intrigue of Van Buren - Crimson Caravans selling guns to both the BOS and the NCR to help fuel their war.
People wearing black leather in the desert, somehow maintaining a mohawk is great no matter how implausible it is. But I'd also prefer it if those leather jacket wearing people were more concerned with getting food, work and not getting shot than finding miniguns. The things that I enjoyed the most in Fallout was how the struggles were still human. The world felt lived in. You felt like you could be there. Unlike most sci-fi which I just can't get into, which is a lot more STAND BACK AND WATCH BECAUSE THIS WORLD IS NOT YOUR WORLD IT IS A DIFFERENT WORLD.
That's kind of what I was hoping for in FOnline. Everyone just trying to get by. Kind of what I imagine Van Buren's coop multiplayer would feel like, but on a bigger scale. You'd be wandering around with your group of wastelanders, taking jobs and having adventures. Maybe you'd get murdered by strangers, but they'd at least have the courtesy to say something badass before they shot you.
Hell, just give me a Firefly MMO. I'll be happy.

I wish fallout was closer to it's mad max roots, I really wanted gunfights from dune buggy's over fuel reserves.
