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.

Halo is definitely the most difficult one to do it with because it's really hard to get the majority of people to care about Halo without Master Chief, Reach and ODST only worked because the franchise had an established fanbase at that point, trying to market a Halo show however not featuring Master Chief to general audiences was probably seen as financial suicide.

They already made a Master Chief origins story movie and another live action project with him. Literally all they had to do was give us a show about the stuff MC does in between the games

Ngl though I would love to see essentially the entire CE game filmed in live action. Been wanting that since I was a kid. Maybe change up how some of the scenes are filmed but keep the plot the same.

The flood would look terrifying if they did that well. I wish they did that instead of the series we got.
