I wonder how many of them are just getting the games to learn who the hell the factions are because the show really didn't say a helluva lot. I mean shit, they had a big reveal about one in the end, and if I hadn't known them from the game the impact would have been lost entirely.

It's definitely awesome as a fan. I'm interested in how non-fans enjoyed it though.

My brother never played fallout, the show left him wanting to find out more about the world, so I guess that's why they were somewhat vague. Also leaves more to explore in season 2

That's pretty on brand though. You can definitely complete the games without really learning much faction lore at all if you want. It's there for people who want it, but the basic story barely even scratches the surface of you don't do the extra reading.
