The Good Doctor Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 I feel like if I ever played any version other than the GoT mod, I would forget everything that’s going on any time I walk away for a few weeks. Would be easier to keep straight in my head if I’m I’m already familiar with the characters and factions. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least those Paladins looked pretty baller For the teaser, I can understand front-centering the those elements. They want to show the universe that it's Fallout But not excuse if the plot is literally Fallout 1 (and by extension 3) . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that too a degree, but at the same time when there's such a high profile transfer from one big medium to another; I can't help but me a little more understanding. I think there might have been a huge fear of looking like a generic post-apocalypse world; the market is saturated with works like that. Fallout has a very unique visual style. So again, I don't mind seeing those recognized elements in the first teaser Corporate probably mandated it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The direct opposite of Rings of Power would be the greatest series in the history of television. For the last month or two, I’ve been very slowly working my way through a YouTube series that goes through each episode to talk about them in detail. Because I hate myself. I already considered the show dogshit, but honing in on the details makes it so much worse than even that. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
