Summary
- Todd Howard's ground rules for the Fallout show insist on keeping the story set in America, reflecting the franchise's exploration of American themes and its interrogation of American exceptionalism.
- While the show lacks direct involvement from the game's writers, Howard's guidance in establishing ground rules is promising for maintaining the essence of the game's storytelling.
- The combination of Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy's successful track record, positive reception to the show's trailer, and Howard's involvement bodes well for the Fallout show's potential as a worthwhile video game adaptation.
