It'll be interesting to see if season 2 of Fallout features some of the more fantastical stuff that will require high-end CGI like super mutants and deathclaws. Animating power armor is one thing but a convincing-looking deathclaw is going to be tough without spending a boatload of money on it.

I feel like such a weirdo that I haven't liked the fallout series at all. Not due to some LORE CANON nitpicks, I just don't think its well written and it feels like a boring chore to watch it. The fact that i was watching it and shogun at the same time didn't help, but it really highlighted the difference in writing and general direction.

Shogun assumes the viewer is watching the show fully, 100% attention is required because nothing is said in the show that isn't important or isn't moving the plot forward. Every subtle inference is important and you'll quickly be lost if you're not actually watching the show. It also assumes the viewer can actually infer things from dialog and body language and understand things that aren't outright stated. Also I never knew what was going to happen next, every development was a surprise and it kept me desperately wanting to know what's going to happen next.

Fallout is a show for people who watch TV while scrolling on their phone. Anything important to the plot is repeated multiple times just to make sure you got it. Nothing is left to be inferred by the viewer so there's no subtly, everything is 100% on the nose. Everything that happens in the show is also very obviously hinted at before it happens, or is an extremely expected "twist" or well trod trope. Like the whole lead up to the "other" vault actually being bad guys made it so incredibly clear what was going to happen, by the time it finally happens I was bored and just wanted them to move the plot forward already after so much time "building up" to it. Fallout makes me constantly want to fast forward or scroll on my phone, because everything feels so drawn out.

Well maybe you should enjoy Fallout properly by scrolling on your phone while watching it?

I assume parts of Shogun are in Japanese with English subtitles? That�s probably why you gotta pay attention more and not kill piggies in angry birds.

If Goggins was talking in some ghoul language half the time you�d pay more attention in Fallout

i'm not reading any of this, can you make it in to a 15 second looping short form video instead?

I've only watched like three episodes of shogun but I think it's true that they don't spell everything out or repeat everything important multiple times so you probably do have to be paying attention even if you're watching the version with the Japanese parts dubbed into English.

I am genuinely curious to find out which NV ending is canon in season 2. The fallout show takes place around 15 years after the events of the game and from the stinger at the end of S1, the strip appears to have largely been destroyed however, Mr. House (in the flesh) was featured in a pre-war flashback so who knows. I suppose anything could have happened after the 2nd battle of Hoover Dam in those 15 years before Lily�s buttholedad finds it.

Shogun requires work and attention so your brain likes it more. Does this really need explaining?

You remember going food shooping, readying ingredients, prepping and cooking and serving the meal. You remember just how good and satisfying it was.
Also, you went to mcdonalds 300 times but can't recall anything about it.

One is based on the writings of a man who survived the horrors of a Japanese World War 2 prison camp, yet still developed an empathy and fascination with the culture and history of his enslavers. The other is based on a videogame for children.
