If you’re wondering what the Fallout show characters might be like in an actual Bethesda game, you’re in luck. The Xbox studio added a handful of characters from the Fallout show to the mostly-okay mobile game Fallout Shelter, complete with stat sheets and unique quests.

If you're keen to tinker with stats and character builds yourself, Steam is hosting a pretty big Fallout sale with discounts on every game in the franchise.
