I’d bet the failure of the Halo show is exactly why they made this choice for Mass Effect.

Which would be weird since Fallout made a good show with an original story and characters.

Because fallout is so easy to do that with. Every fallout game is a different place with new characters.

So they can essentially make the show as if they made another game with a new vault dweller main character and new plot etc.

Halo and mass effect could do that too. But the whole plot and characters are the main point of the game. So it’s just a lot harder to make something new or different with it.

Ontop of that mechanics for each game and enemies change too so having ghouls look different isn’t an issue.

Also stimpacks being a magical fix all in game means it’s the perfect deus ex machina while still being cannon.
