    Fallout was an aesthetic that told super dark stories. How will a TV capture the vignette of nightmares that are the Vaults?

      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.

      There’s not really any limits for content anymore. Look at Amazon’s The Boys.

      The way you play Fallout / Skyrim / Bethesda games might end up being a perfect format for a television adaption.

      You can have a main character and follow their travels in a really strange setting. You can have 1 off episodes with perticular styles much like the quests in the game. You can easily switch from a dark horror filled vault to a campy town the next episode. Kind of like the files would have lighter episodes then some really dark ones and occasionally an episode about the main characters.

      Because the fallout universe has a lot to be explored you a smart writing team could do a lot.

      TL;DR Gimme Twilight Zone in the wasteland
