So look...as a sometime writer, I'm all for using 12 words when 5 will do sometimes.

But this entire article is just a dozen paragraphs to say "Elder Scrolls doesn't isn't different enough from other fantasy series to standout, unlike Fallout, which was a fresh world on television."

Give me the money, Todd. I'll do it. But I'm putting the Lusty Argonian Maid in it.

Is it because the lore of the games includes hella fucked up shit like turning a dude's dick into a spear and using it to rape a demon to death?

Too fun, would scare normies

Don't forget the part where they go fight TV in space.

So true, it will only work if in the middle of the series/movie the main character stops under a bridge and jumps to hit their head repeatedly for an hour to power level. And we know the execs won't allow that kind of true art to exist

A save-scumming wizard could be a great main character.

But the Fallout show sucked. It changed the lore of the west coast. Hell, why did they pick the west coast? Bethesda had all of the east coast and the fly over states to chose from. But no they picked the place where the OG games took place in. Man, I wonder why.

The main lore change people refer to generally seems to be them thinking it's set decades earlier than it is. Part of the plot of the show is working out why the NCR isn't the dominant faction anymore, and plenty of characters remember it, and used to live in Shady Sands. The status quo changing years after New Vegas was set doesn't mean that the events of Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas didn't happen.
