Bethesda on its new Fallout Shelter update:
Inspired by the recently released Fallout series streaming on Prime Video, this update adds one questline with 8 new quests to Fallout Shelter, as well as new locations and 6 unlockable vault dwellers, including Lucy and The Ghoul.
And we’re introducing new themes, weapons and outfits featured in the show. Get a chance at a pre-war cowboy outfit, The Ghoul’s revolver, and even a wedding dress that comes with a party-crashing bandolier. You can also claim a Vault 33 jumpsuit for your dwellers just by playing between April 9 and May 7.

Join Discussion →Sort of cool nerdy stuff but the show definitely has The Ghoul performing with greater stats than these. Watching him get smacked around like a ping-pong ball and pull off all those dead-eye shots in the 2nd episode is enough for me to believe that his endurance/perception/agility is a bit higher than what's listed here.
It'd be better if they didn't try desperately to fit it into the canon. Square peg, round hole.
I'm sorry so many people are wrong for enjoying this.
Why so defensive? Can't you enjoy it without validation? Sometimes it is better to make adaptations stand alone, especially when it comes to open world RPGs. It seems pointless to try and fit it into an open ended game series. NV has several possible endings that the show conflicts with. Saying it is canon while NV also remaining canon just makes no sense. Round hole square peg as I've said. I actually started liking the show more since ep 5. Some egghead producer telling me it's not canon won't make me like it less, neither would confirming it as canon would make me like it more.
Not defensive it just seems if you dislike something you need to make sure everyone knows. But you're not always negative.
