They make a TV show out of everything nowadays, don't they?

Your spoiler for the signature is broken BTW.

Which client are you using? This is what it looks like for me on programming.dev

Sync

It's really annoying

Creating a film or TV about a well known video game franchise is a safe bet for film companies as they don't need to get the audience interested in a new story, just re use an old one that already has some fans who'll just have to watch it. Probably helps the videogame publisher as well, especially if the film leaves you wanting more

I'm not so sure about it being a safe bet. There have been a few good adaptations, but in general I'm very cautious and expect the worst because there has just been so much more garbage that completely ignored everything that made the games great.

For someone who never played the fallout or the withcher games should I feel left out if the show runners ignore some of the canons of the games/source?

What? Do you mean that the shows would require prior knowledge of the source if the showrunners didn't ignore it? Doubt it. I mean a book is a book and a game is a game and not a film or tv show, some changes are expected in the adaptation because it wouldn't work otherwise. But there's a difference to just ignoring stuff, can still make it low barrier for people who don't know the source.

Of course. It's just unoriginal. But that's fine. I don't have to watch it.

Never played the fallout games except for brotherhood of steel. I don't really know the story. wether they stay true to the game or not is not a big deal to me just like the Witcher.

It's an open world game series with 4 games. It's been so long since I played them, I barely remember what happened and where it's canon or not. So, I'm practically in the same boat ๐Ÿ™‚
