Fallout is not a masterpiece of story telling or cinematography. It was written by non writers mostly. It's not the godfather. It isn't going to be hard for professional writers to make it work better than the games, and clearly they're not fucking with the visual designs of the series.

It's almost hard to get Fallout wrong. Unless you shove a kid into a fridge for 200 years, or retcon the creation of the super mutants.

Todd Howard is involved, so I wager they'll get the themes right.

If Howard is involved your can bet the show will be boring and cheesy as fuck.

I'm honestly shocked so many of you are giving this show a chance after the disaster of Fallout 76, Starfield's mediocrity + the weird ass review controversy. It's incredible how much loyalty a corp can command

76 was actually good, and got better with updates. It just had a rough launch, like every Bethesda game.

I agree that their games have been shit for a while, I didn't even think F4 was good, and NV demonstrated that Bethesda shouldn't be the ones developing the series.

F3 was great at the time, but after playing NV, you can see that Bethesda is interested in creating a very railroaded experience (pun not intended).

However, I think a TV show might be fine, seeing as though the stories of Fallout haven't been bad; it has just been bad mechanically.
