People need to remember that fallout isn't the last of Us or god of war, fallout is a cool series with a cool world, but it's not a masterpiece of story telling and writing. These showrunners aren't making Lord of the rings over here, it's not gonna be hard to make a decent show based in an established world.

They're keeping the aesthetic and design, so I'm happy. But so many people don't have a nuanced opinion anymore, and a show is either a perfect 10 or it's "unwatchable garbage". I've seen and loved shows that I give a solid 8 to, but anything below a nine gets called "shit" these days.

I mean, New Vegas is known as one of the best written RPGs of all time. So.... there might be slightly higher than average expectations here.

It is not known.

Of course not, Lord of the Rings already exists.

Well that didn't stop Amazon from making them Rings of Power so don't give anybody any ideas now.

We've had first Lord of the Rings, yes, but what about second Lord of the Rings?
