The Fallout show feels like an adaptation of a game that doesn't exist

Fallout still featuring Walton Goggins.

When it comes to adaptations of video games into movies or TV shows, there are essentially only two possible paths forward. That is, assuming you're aiming for authenticity. You either recreate the events of a given game as accurately as possible or you look to tell a new story within the world of the game. (Technically, there is a third option of completely ignoring the source material, but the less said of those kinds of adaptations the better.)

Amazon's Prime Video has somehow introduced yet another outcome I had not previously thought possible. The new Fallout show honestly somehow feels like an adaptation of a game that doesn't exist yet.
