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.
It’s amazing to me that “lesbians? owning a shop? impossible!” is a thought that people have. There are lesbians on my street, at my job, and at my Sunday evening class.
I myself am bisexual. It’s just like… we exist man. And if a bomb went off in my city, I am far enough away to survive the blast. So now you’ve got a bisexual guy in the nuclear winter. OoOo so woke.
I thought they were suppose to open Taco stands. I WAS PROMISED TACOS!
