I don’t have much faith left in Todd
Is this because of just Starfield? Fallout 76 was messy at release but the core concept is novel and most people are praising that game.
Starfield was an anomaly. Sometimes when you spend too much time on a project, you bog it down. Todd spend way too much time on his baby and made it a mess. That isn't inherent to Bethesda.
Dramatic and dark
Aaaaand I already hate it. Fallout at its best never took itself seriously or tried to be overly dramatic. Nobody's even seen the show but I can already tell you it should be a dark comedy and nothing else.
Before you make that assessment you should look into Walton Goggins in justified or Gemstones. Both with dark humoer.
Also Todd finished that statement about dramatic and dark "with a wink".
He's insinuating upbeat elements. From my perspective, Todd describes Falloir perfectly in his quote. That "wink" is what you are looking for.
Will it require mods to be enjoyable?
I'm going full Luck build. Fuck it.
Looks cool. I'm most concerned about the tone of the show; the games are filled with absurd, exaggerated, and cartoonish elements that work well in that medium, but might come across as unbearably cheesy in live action.
No reason not to give it a shot though. 🤞
I am an acquaintance of the set designer and saw some sets awhile back. It looks pretty fantastic in terms of art direction. I think it they're gunning for Last Of Us -level quality. Hope it turns out.
The only interest I have in this is to see how butchered and terrible it is.
I dont hope for that, I just expect it.
Hey I had zero expectations from the Twisted Metal series and ended up loving it! It had no business being as good as it was! So, maybe there's hope.
Why would they make another series? The first one was perfect.
