Fallout [Action, Sci-Fi] (Page 8 of 8)

America had alienated all it's allies in the Fallout universe... just like in real life. Almost like a game that came out in the 90s predicted the current situation.

Yes, that made it so much better. And, yes, some stuff becomes a documentary, like [this] for a while was a documentary, but we already are on the next level of stupid, so this feels mild by todays standards. Now I'm waiting if [this] will become a documentary or not.

What the fu...
Yesterday I'm watching the countdown here on the Fallout page for Fallout s02e08... 8 hrs... 3hrs... 1hrs...
Episode never materializes.
This morning... Oh look, its xx hours away today.
Is this a screw up in the sources used by Next-Episode?

Yup 2 weeks in a row they pulled that one.

Thoughts now that s02 is over?

Me:
There was a few things that were hard to put my finger on that made it just a little 'off' compared to season 1.
The buddy-cop relationship with the girl and the ghoul, for example.  Just... 'off' in feel and dialog.

But I did notice:

▼Spoiler

• I missed the introduction... or maybe the scope... or the impending doom...  of new creatures.  That just felt better in season 1: Things like the giant catfish with fingers for teeth.  The Deathclaws were cool and all, but somehow just didn't seem scary.  Especially come the last episode when all it took was to knock down a sheet metal gate for them to come in to Vegas.  Like they wouldn't have done that already? Standing up knocked down an entire marquee and brick wall for one of them.  Their area should have been basically void of food while on the other side of a piece of aluminum foil is an entire herd of human-burgers doing NOTHING to hide their sound, their smell, no tower guards, no electric fence despite having unlimited electricity apparently.  I think it was the lack of concern by the Vegas citizens that conveyed a "who cares" quality to the big squirrels: They didn't think anything of them so why would I?

• I realized that scenes were shorter and flip back and forth more.  Once you realize it, it feels like they edited it for TikTok attention spans.

• Purely a personal thing and this might be okay in keeping with game aesthetics but: Set designers kept pulling me out of the fantasy.  200 year old building that has clearly been ravaged by people, has everything looking nearly new. The higher floors have no water damage, no rust; looks like any other day. Yet the cryopods for Cooper's wife and daughter, located in the hidden, pristine vault had rust, scratches, and even large paint chips like it was Master Chief's armor.  That's completely backwards.

House stated the deathclaws had been sent by the Enclave.    WTF   how did i miss that??? anyone got an exact time of that statement in show?  that would mean enclave has "mind control" (MC) in use in people and animals or monsters in the waste land and have the ability to see what they see,and give instructions from a distance (the MC would have no use with out BOTH of those features) that would be a next level spy system ( can they trust dogmeat???)

yep the whole question is a spoiler

ok i under stand you I mean this part

I was wholly outclassed
by an invisible adversary
It was they who set
the Deathclaws on Vegas.
And now one of their acolytes is here,
in this very building.

that does not suggest that the deathclaws were "sent"
ie on a mission to protect or whatever and were "controlled"

but that they were lured to vegas
ie someone brought them by leading with food or
drove them to vegas , much how you could get a bear
to stay in your back yard by leaving lots of food there.

you dont control the bear, but it still protects your yard.
( or stops you from leaving your house)

i disagree that anything house says suggests that death claws were
being controlled in any way other then by non technology
( ie food, fear, or maybe even mundane training).
but that brings into question how were the gates built when
the deathcaws were a few feet away... the gates would have to
be built first. ( or was there a gate between freeside and the strip)
lots of food means there would be no reason to break the gate and eat people
but it means someone nearby has lots of food and is feeding them
