Played the games. Not interested.
A new story in the setting could be good
Retelling the game sounds bad. Conveniently, the reasons why are nicely outlined in the article.
I actually liked Andromeda for being kind of different. I’d be interested to see more of that tbh.
I haven’t watched fallout yet, just because I haven’t been in a “fallout” mood since the show dropped, so my only experience with video game shows is Halo.
And I literally couldn’t finish a single episode.
So as long as nobody grabs a shovel, at the very least they can only trip over the bar. It’s as low as can be.
Fallout is actually really good. It feels like you’re watching someone play through the games. Each episode has something pulled straight from the games going all the way back to the first Fallout game. The writers and show runners have been fans of the series ever since the beginning, and you can honestly feel it.
I’d recommend watching it, when you’re in the mood. But even the comedic parts still lend to the weirdly funny bits from the games, and there are more than a few scenes that straight up feel like random encounters. Bottom line, the show was made with absolute love and you can tell. I’m excited for season 2.
I thoroughly enjoyed Fallout, so I’ll be cautiosly optimistic until further details emerge.
The article brings up challenges with adapting customizable PCs to a fixed story, but I think the easiest solution is to just copy Fallout on this one. Don’t try to adapt the flexible story og the games with a percieved ‘default’ Shep, but tell a separate story within the universe.
I could see the conflict when humanity discovers FTL and eventually has a war with the Turians as a potentially fitting storyline. Has enough lore to give writers a starting point, doesn’t touch any player decisions or customizable characters, and gives people not familiar with ME a nice entry to “discover the ME universe” alongside humanity
Based on the writing of their last 3 games. I have a bad feeling.
Officially with an 80% of getting killed before release?
