The right partner? You mean the one that makes the most money. You partnered with Bezos, dude. The show is alright, but it was clearly made to appease a wide market. You didn't want a "video game movie director", but you still made the equivalent of the Mario Movie. A little more fan service wouldn't kill the show. Reading journals, hacking computers, feral ghouls, side quests. A little faster pace would help too.

That's just my opinion. I'm sure other people will disagree.

but they've had all of those things, plus VATs, Bloody Mess, chems, loot chests, loading screens, out of bounds glitches, kiting enemies, npc dialogue, buggy aggro, FISTO bot, HUDs, unmarked quests, vendors... there's a ton of fan service.

Yeah, I don't know what they're on about. I was just doing a replay of F:NV, and the Strip and Freeside sets alone are enough to satisfy most of your fan service needs. There were little nods to the lore and game mechanics all over the place in both seasons, to the point where I actually got pulled out of the story a couple of times.

I get why they didn't focus on feral ghouls, because this isn't The Walking Dead, but...

spoilerThey are there, and Cooper in particular does drugs specifically to avoid going feral.
