Fallout TV series first look: it's 'dramatic and dark' but with 'a little bit of a wink,' says Todd Howard

Is this because of just Starfield? Fallout 76 was messy at release but the core concept is novel and most people are praising that game.

Starfield was an anomaly. Sometimes when you spend too much time on a project, you bog it down. Todd spend way too much time on his baby and made it a mess. That isn't inherent to Bethesda.

Before you make that assessment you should look into Walton Goggins in justified or Gemstones. Both with dark humoer.

Also Todd finished that statement about dramatic and dark "with a wink".

He's insinuating upbeat elements. From my perspective, Todd describes Falloir perfectly in his quote. That "wink" is what you are looking for.

I'm going full Luck build. Fuck it.

I am an acquaintance of the set designer and saw some sets awhile back. It looks pretty fantastic in terms of art direction. I think it they're gunning for Last Of Us -level quality. Hope it turns out.

Hey I had zero expectations from the Twisted Metal series and ended up loving it! It had no business being as good as it was! So, maybe there's hope.
