Cain appreciated the performances and storytelling, but singled out how the show nailed the Fallout “vibe” as its biggest achievement. “I was just looking at all the props,” he said of one scene. “I realized after a few minutes went by that I had not followed the dialogue at all, because I was so engrossed by it visually.”
On a more sour note, Cain took time to address the way fans of the series can behave poorly online, particularly regarding any perceived rivalry between Fallout entries developed by Bethesda (3, 4, and 76), and those from Interplay, Black Isle, and Obsidian (1, 2, and New Vegas). Cain spoke positively of Todd Howard, and said that “Some of the stuff you [series fans] say online is so off.” See also: the debate about whether the show somehow overrode or ignored the events of those non-Bethesda games, which has since been denied by a senior developer at the studio.
Just wanted to chime in as well: Thought I’d watch one episode, watched all eight in the end. It was really good.
I loved it too! As a fan of a series that was never adapted correctly (dark tower) this show gave me hope. Also loved the actors! How can someone hate on some of those amazing performances
Soon as I saw Walton Goggins on the cast list, I knew it had to be good somewhere. He never disappoints.
The show is so good that people are binging and some are spoiling it for others.
