The Shi | Fallout Lore

The Shi are perhaps one of if not the most well-known, but also most forgotten faction to rise from the old world ashes, they show such promise in terms of technology and scientific research, yet they have also seemingly vanished from the face of the earth.
But where did they come from, who’s in charge and what has happened to them?

For those who have finished the video, what do you think happened to the Shi?

[marrvynswillames]

Virgin Institute: lets Just do nothing besides replace people for decades
Chad Shi: lets make plants to absorve radiation and make New types of fuel

[princesskida]

Can't believe they actually named him Dr. Long Wang lmfao

[ArroDime_]

The Shi deserve to be in a future fallout game. They’re such an interesting faction.

If I remember correctly, the fate of the Shi and the entirety of San Francisco would have been given in Van Buren. It would have involved SF being nuked by the Enclave survivors at the Navarro base, having believed the inhabitants were responsible for the destruction of the Oil Rig and the death of the President.
Obsidian was also originally going to have some dialogue in New Vegas describing how San Francisco was destroyed after the events of Fallout 2, but it was requested to be cut by Bethesda as they wanted to leave it as a potential area for future installments.

I remember it was stated somewhere in New Vegas that Kimball's Vertibird, Bear Force One, was built by the Shi and gifted to the NCR

It would be interesting to see the Shi again, maybe now they live in a lush green city and control some of the settlements around them? It would be cool to see especially with the likes of the Brotherhood and NCR sniffing around.

In my opinion, it's not unlikely that the Shi we're eventually absorbed by the NCR.

The Shi is definitely one of the more interesting (yet still relatively forgettable) factions in the Fallout series. I'd love to see more factions like the Shi in the future.

That is if Bethesda decides to continue the Fallout series, considering their handfull of other projects.

[ricolange]

Dr long Wang sounds like a nice charming fella

[countersphere]

I honestly hope that Ending 3 is the cannon one, I'd love to see a new faction rise up and play a more important role in the Fallout series, beats the constant re-use of the Brotherood.

I also really like the idea that the Shi are a faction build on a foreign (Chinese) way of life within post-war America.

[JRgsy]

I had to skip the video back a few times to check I heard the name correctly, Dr Long Wang is just the best character name I’ve seen for ages in Fallout.

[hippy]

I like the idea of the Shi becoming another power house in the wastes that could either help or hinder the progress of country depending on your influence as a player

[BlueBD]

using the AI to make rules BUT altered because an AI is usually cold and inhumane in it decisions is like... The sanest way of progress. Many places tend to either be tyants or soulless idiots but they way they use AI is literally the best possible way too

[RandomPengu]

I have never heard of the Shi till now, with how amazing this faction is. I'm glad they haven't been touched honestly I don't think justice could be done to them in the newer ones

[Patsc]

It's weird that there was still a Chinatown despite there being such severe Sinophobia for about 10 years in pre-war America

EDIT: I'm noticing a lot of people drawing parallels to the Irish and stuff but like the level of xenophobia Chinese-Americans were experiencing were a direct copy of the way we treated Japanese-Americans and Japanese culture in general during WW2. Yeah sure it's all dandy now but we've had time to heal those wounds, the Great War brought an abrupt end to that. Also they're being treated way worse than the way we even treated the Japanese. Chinese folks getting experimented on and being forced to wear slave collars yo

I’ve been waiting on this video for a while now, I voted on it a long time ago! The Shi are one faction I have never really took the time to look into, so thank you for this ❤️

[Mrkabrat]

So we can consider that the hubologists are...big trouble in Little China?

[jamesfriesen]

13:59 the shi should make in appearance in season 2 of Fallout

[shaybert]

Thank God for different time zones. I was about to have to binge from the beginning of the lore episodes.
