    The quote from the showrunner, according to the article:

    “We didn’t look at the game. We didn’t talk about the game. We talked about the characters and the world. So I never felt limited by it being a game.”

    Looks like they should have looked at the game a little more closely.

      “Limited by it being a game” is such a condescending thing to say. Just shows that these people look down on video games in general and most likely have little respect for the people who these games mean a lot to. I mean, that shows in this TV show, just based on the short bits I’ve seen. The Chief acts like a Stallone or a Tom Cruise stand-in, instead of a stoic warrior.

      I can’t wait for an Elder Scrolls show helmed by these showrunners, the Witcher showrunners, and Alex Kurtzman

        Tbf, I bet Todd Howard would die before letting anyone else make an Elder Scrolls show. Especially with the success of the Fallout show.
