The stories are more little vignettes, which seems perfect for a TV 
series.  However as they decided to go to new territory and not tell the 
story of any of the specific games, we don't get to see any of that. 
I'm not entirely convinced that was the right way to go.

I don't know strong characters, but there were characters in the games 
that were memorable.  Herold for one, having appeared in more than one. 
A lot of the NPC companions, Just from Fallout 2 alone Marcus, Goris, 
Sulik and Vic.

Fallout 3 had a lot interesting side quests and memorable characters.
Three Dog, Agatha, Herold again, Moira, Dave, AntAgonizer and Mechanis.
