Yellowjackets star Sophie Thatcher has revealed Ella Purnell's first Fallout experience before leading the Prime Video adaptation didn't exactly go as planned.
"I tried to create Ella on Fallout," Yellowjackets co-star Sophie Thatcher recalled on Happy Sad Confused. "That was her first introduction [to Fallout]. She was like, 'Turn it off! It's scary graphics.' That's fair… Specifically, Fallout: New Vegas has that [look] where it's uncanny."
Unfortunately for Thatcher, most of the gaming bonding time with her fellow actors similarly went down like a lead balloon.
"I had a night where I brought the Yellowjackets girls over and I was like, 'I'm going to create every one of you on The Sims'. It took hours and people got so bored," Thatcher joked.
Thatcher – a dyed-in-the-wool gaming fanatic with four generations of PlayStation consoles, three Oculus headsets, and a "broken" Xbox – showcased her gaming credentials earlier in the interview by revealing her reaction to meeting legendary video game developer Hideo Kojima.
"I had a talk with Hideo Kojima and doing a talk with him was just like, 'You're a god to us.' Anything I say, I'm scared," Thatcher, who has also appeared in The Book of Boba Fett, Companion, and Heretic, revealed.
Previously, Purnell revealed to PC Gamer that she had dabbled in Fallout 4 prior to the first season, describing it as a "fun and exciting experience."
Fallout season 3 has been announced, with the upcoming batch of episodes seemingly heading to the fresh locale of Colorado. The Fallout season 2 ending also set up war coming to the streets of New Vegas.
