    People complain that it leans towards bathesda fallout. Well Bethesda fallout games have sold like 50 million copies while the first two only sold like 750k, so it’s no surprise they’re leaning on the more popular version.

      That’s such a stupid take. That’s almost like saying if they’re going to make a movie about a COD game they should take inspiration from Ghosts and not the OG modern warfare, because Ghosts sold better than OG Modern Warfare. Doesn’t matter that the story of Ghosts is one of the worst in the series and MW story is arguably the best in the series.

      If you’re going to make an adaptation you want what is the best quality, not what is the most popular. Popularity doesn’t necessarily mean quality. That said, I don’t care where the show leans, my expectations were already so low that simply getting it in the right ballpark was a win. But could’ve it been more true to the source material considering where it takes place? Absolutely.
