It's interesting that you commented "no mercy" after the Ghoul shot Roger in the head, because I actually thought that moment was him displaying HUGE mercy: he deliberately reminds Roger of happier times (and human food!), and then shoots right as Roger is lost in a lovely memory of his mother's apple pie. For someone on the verge of turning feral, that's pretty much the kindest ending Roger could've hoped for. :)
Exactly. Pretty odd thing to ask otherwise lol
Yes, Neil's the first person on YT that I've watched react to this episode (and I've seen quite a few) and express that opinion. All the others thought that The Ghoul was doing Rodger a kindness.
@@GrumpyOldGit-zk1kw Yeah pretty much everyone else I've seen has said the exact opposite, that he was being merciful. Even the ones that didn't get what was happening.
100% this. It was a mercy kill, along with some happy memories. I honestly don't know how one could even read this situation differently.
Casting Matt Berry as the Mr Handys was a stroke of genius.
Matt Berry as the voice of Snip-snip. He's cornered the market for voicing sci-fi robots!
I'm glad this time he got to be a funny robot
Between Matt and Alan Tudyk, (K-2SO in "Rogue One" etc, Optimus Prime in "Transformers: EarthSpark", Sonny in "I, Robot" etc) I think we're golden for sci-fi robot voices!
Let the series play out 🤦
Hey Neil. Not watching Fallout so I didn’t check your reaction but I’m happy your posting again so I thought I’d pop in to like and comment.
Ohhhhh but it's worth watching, hope you get around to it! I'm not a Fallout player (beyond Shelter), but the show is so good it's tempting me to start...
Neil, I opened up RUclips for the first time today and saw your video. I’ve been a fan since your “Lost” series. Glad to see you’re back regularly. I love your perspective from someone who has also played the games. I appreciate your content.
Neil! I'm shocked you didn't catch that Snip Snip the robot is Matt Berry, Laszlo from What we do in the Shadows. That voice is unmissable! Lol
This episode is just amazing throughout, what's interesting was that I was half expecting them to drop the storyline from the vaults for now but it starts becoming this really engaging story thread.
Itll be ok he will notice soon enough haha
I'm glad you caught the meaning with the movie at the end...loads don't seem to pick up that it's as if old Coop is talking to Ghoul Coop when he says he's Ugly and Strong, but has no Dignity anymore
Lemony Snicket?! Awesome!
Great reaction and analysis as always. This episode was the one where I realised that the show was awesome on it's own merit, not just because it was tweaking my nipples with fan service, (even though it had arguably more fan service than previous episodes). I was genuinely interested, excited even, to see what the makers were going to do with the story within the Fallout Universe, not just happy that we were in a faithful recreation of it.
I have literally never, and I mean never, heard a native english speaker call it "feeral"
There's a first time for everything, especially when dealing with a language with almost 400 million native speakers lol
I keep hearing "fural" but getting equally confused. Stuff like that always makes me guess myself as a non native speaker.
That is odd. It's not like he hasn't heard the word spoken aloud by many people. It's not an uncommon word.
@@tocraneandcrane
And 399,999,999 people pronounce feral as "fair-ul."
@@CliffSedge-nu5fv Not even remotely true. Do you know how many different dialects and sociolects of English there are in this world? Varieties that differ from one another in far more ways than just the pronunciation of one or two words. Not to mention individual differences, something speakers of all languages possess. Again, there’s a first time for everything. Have a nice day.
Theres no fudge here.
The shows attention to detail really is very good... Its what makes it better than any other TV Adaption.
The guy you worked with Neil, also played the guy controlling Channing Tatum’s character in Free Guy. Which as a side note, if you haven’t seen it would make for a great reaction video.
10:10 The henchpeople were hilarious. 😅 That show is very underrated, I guess because it falls under "people assume it's only meant for children."
Not sure when you recorded this but Amazon picked up the show for season 2 just over a week after they dropped it, but it will be a couple of years before we see it. It's still their #1 show over a month after it debuted, so that seems like a hit.
I think they ran low on food and like in Vault 111 the management horded it and people fought over what is left. I think they revolted and tied up the overseer and got the truth out of him about what is going on.
The Fallout show is a massive hit and its boosted some of the older Fallout games to number of player highs they never attained before, Fallout 4 was back in the top 10 selling games, which is amazing for a 9 year old release. Stores ran out of physical copies of the games in some areas, so yeah safe to say the show has been a huge boost to the Fallout franchise.
Just to say I also really want a fallout tee shirt that says "Ass Jerky don't make itself". lol
I'd buy that shirt!
Another golden rule. If there's anything that doesn't make sense then it's probably a "game thing" haha. I picked up a lot from the games but still missed quite a bit. There's so much packed in here but the trick is to integrate the references naturally into the show, which they do superbly. The Ghoul "vials" are actually something that they do need to clear up in future seasons because they are not part of any Fallout lore.
Considering the show is canon to the games, it's now part of the Fallout lore
@@blinkachu5275 EXACTLY haha. Which is what SO many miss about Fallout lore. It's NOT an overarching narrative like you would find with, say.. Tolkien. What we learn is that the Mr House ending to Fallout New Vegas is probably now canon (maybe even the Yes Man ending). Toooo much head canon and people getting pissed because their head canon isn't real.
I do like it though. Although I suspect the organ harvesting is part of the process of making them (unless the mentioned "next batch" meant another human, not another batch of vials). But I think there was a moment in F3 where you had some moral choice regarding ghouls, but I just could not make it because to me they sounded like a ticking bomb. As much as I can sympathize with non feral ghouls, it seemed like it was just a matter of time until they became feral, and with that a threat to their surroundings. If there's a way to ethically produce the vials, then that means that ghouls can also technically live safely within a society, in which case such moral decisions become much easier.
I'm Enjoying this , it's well made and Neils explanations enhance it a lot .
Fural?
I don't see the vault experiments as a major spoiler, it's kinda common game world lore if you played the games, assuming you didn't just rush through the main story and then quit, which of course is not how you play Bethesda RPGs. The show does mention them briefly but as with most things, it does not outright explain it, so typically I explain that most vaults are social experiments at a certain episode, with a minor spoiler warning. The video in vault 32 would imply overpopulation, while Lucy doing cousin stuff and not being able to find another partner would imply underpopulation, which may be a hint to the experiment in their vaults - along with the fact that the three vaults are all connected, which is as we know also not the norm.
Whether Lucy can stick to the golden rule remains to be seen though. Coop went through this for a couple centuries, which is a long long time, and arguably the time right after the apocalypse was probably one of the worst. But as we see, the wasteland does not just change Lucy, Lucy also changes the wasteland, like Coop, who now sits there, seeing his former self kinda talking to him, giving him 2 out 3 after someone showed him kindness. For me that was a really compelling interaction between the two.
Why do you think there was no experiment in Vault 32?
Yes, it looks good and healthy and safe. Clearly they didn't get locked up with a jaguar.
But why are 31, 32, and 33 interconnected vaults? Because there aren't any other vaults like that in Fallout, and you know that as well as I do.
And they have that symbol that almost looks like the pyramid on the American dollar bill.
"Wow, no mercy"
What?
That's about as merciful as he could get ^^;
Roger was turning feral, clearly a very painful experience, losing his "humanity"
He made Roger remember a good memory before shooting him in the head while he was distracted to make sure his friend doesn't turn feral
There's more than one take.
@@rossshepherd9836 Doesn't mean they're good takes.
@@Dark__Thoughts by that same token, it doesn't mean that it's not a good. It would seem we have reached an impasse.
@@rossshepherd9836 Why are you being weird and arrogant about this? Imagine someone says "The earth is flat and the moon isn't real", and justify the idea with "there's more than one take". That doesn't resolve or answer anything, if you're wrong you're wrong. The hell are you even on about?
Ghoul killing Roger was an act of mercy. There is no other way to interpret it unless you straight up aren't paying attention.
@@smileyhappyface5864, your weird and arrogant is my sound logic. As to what I'm on about, I said what I said in my last comment.
Who...who pronounces FERAL as...FUERAL?
Canadians
How long has it taken you to realise not everyone speaks the same way that you do 🤣
some brits and canadians, also, exceedingly american statement, I asume thats where you are from.
It's "fair-ul," but Neil is saying "fear-ul" for some reason.
The e in fer is not a long e sound.
