"I was just looking at all the props. 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."
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.

I think anything associated with Amazon puts a lot of people on the defense right out the gate, myself included. I would've loved to see a different studio handling this adaption tbh
Rings of Power and Wheel of Time were crushing in their ability to deliver disappointment.
Wheel of time was so close too. If they just didn't fuck with the script so much
All they had to do was NOT try to throw a new twist every other episode, and it would have been amazing.
