A Fallout veteran says the success of the Fallout TV show was especially gratifying given the struggles of the Borderlands movie.
In an interview on the Boss Rush network podcast, long-time Fallout producer Jeff Gardiner discusses how "RPGs live and die on story", explaining how a strong narrative can outrank frustrating mechanics. Gardiner, who spent more than a decade on Fallout across Fallout 3, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76, says that that philosophy rang true across the games, but that he also "saw that in the Fallout TV show being super successful."
