      The amount of letters doesn't make a book better y'know
      But the reason why games actually are the art
      Is that them combine tons of artistic ways to express some feelings and emotions and gives us an option to interact with the game
      Some games are wonderfully cinematic, some have good written plots, others have interesting gameplay. And all of it being created by hundreds of musicians, coders, writers, artists etc.

    I like what they did with the 3 characters. I've only seen episodes 1, but the mains feel a bit like they're styled after the main characters from FO3, FO:NV, & FO4. The Ghoul is a wastelander with a cowboy theme, Lucy is a Vault Dweller seeking her missing dad, & Maximus has military experience & a quest for revenge. Ill have to see were it goes, but it feels like a familiar vibe with a fresh story which is exactly what i was hoping for.

The chain thing is also a west coast thing they abandoned after going to DC, which Maxson didn't take up. The interesting thing is the HQ is usually wherever the Prydwyn is. In FO4 they state they used ALL their resources in DC to make it and move everyone out there. This is only 9 years after that. And they had power armour stations IN the Prydwyn, which is another plot hole since like you mentioned, they were a novelty to the recruits. They also couldn't have upped their numbers outside found recruits since they've now made sex forbidden in the brotherhood. Which is something Maxson didn't want, wastelanders as recruits. That was part of the reason he took over from Lyons, their disagreement on going back to the old ways. These are just some reasons why I say it's a bit janky. It blows past inconvenient lore for ease and plot purposes.

The NCR rules over Southern California after annexing cities peacefully and makes a successful push into the Northern region via the control of the gold trade. 700,000 strong with the capital having 3,000 in just the central part of Shady Sands. So after 2241 there maybe a million people living in the NCR. (Most populous state).
      2277 show states the capital which grows to 34,000 people is nuked. While in New Vegas the State takes control over the Hoover Dam and fights off a New regional power. The Legion and there is political strife in Shady Sands and the whole nation as a whole. Reason is overpopulation and environmental collapse. So the dam will provide water and electricity to maintain the NCR content. 2281 show states the NCR collapse or collapse. Although the Game there is a Second battle where either States gets to rule the region or House takes control as a buffer state. The shows contradicts the game in a serious manor

    I think as far as Re is concerned RE 5 for like a 7 part series is the best bet, it's short, to the point, and action packed, plus it won't piss off every fan out there also it would be very easy to replicate.not to mention it would be the easiest RE title to replicate for the cheapest plus it would could be replicated in in for the cheapest and the most time consuming amount of time for the cheapest. Also unless the royal mess it no one would be angry about it and it's literally impossible to mess it up, unless they cheap out on literally everything. Which seems impossible since blank fire weaponry is dirt cheap and all they need is makeup among one or two special effects for one or two episodes a season since most everything can be done practically and for very cheap. Except for boss fights and special enemies, even if they did it one to one I'd be ecstatic unless they cast everyone as someone who would only draw attention instead of match the character just like they did for everyone else in the original. Except for Markus, barry and bag head, correct me i wrong, also if they change the story like they did for every other story they made except the anime before. Also a true at story Hunk tale would be insane not to mention a RE raccoon city and an RE 3 true to the videos game would be incredible.
