It could be about the rise of Tiber Septim.

Just watch Game of Thrones, Rings of Power, Wheel of Time, or any other fantasy series released in the past ten years.

cant find a post apocalyptic sci-fi series out in the open if my life depended on it.

Eh, most of the things that sold fans and newcomers alike on the Fallout show - post-apocalyptic setting, campy retro aesthetic, dark humor, soundtrack (and Walton Goggins, of course) - wouldn't be present in an Elder Scrolls show. And I honestly don't know what it could do to set itself apart from all the other self-important fantasy dramas out there.

Funnily enough, given Fallout's success, the best chance the Elder Scrolls has at getting a popular TV show would be some form of Shivering Isles-centric adaptation.

I'd agree, if not for the fact that elf ears always look fucking stupid on a real human's head. Even a sexy cosplayer still looks dumb up there.

Let Archer's animation team make an Elder Scrolls cartoon.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Rings of Power and the terrible Wheel of Time adaptation are all the evidence you need that you dont want Amazon anywhere near a fantasy IP.

The mentioned fantasy shows are already very different, AGoT/HoD are political dramas, WoT is underdog heroes having a coming of age adventure, Rings of Power is... all over the place. And Elder Scrolls has plenty of humor outside Sheogorath.

We have plenty of other medieval fantasy shows to watch. I think that's one of the bigger appeal for Fallout, there hasn't been a whole lot of shows like it made...yet.

It's not just the genre, but also the retro/steam punkish aesthetics and music/soundtrack along with it's own sense of humor is what stands out from those other shows. I don't know if Elder Scrolls will have something that can help it stand out, but if there is than it might be able to work.

Not with current Bethesda writing it. If the folks who wrote Morrowind were still around, maybe.

Even then it's a long shot that Morrowind-style lore and worldbuilding would appeal to the general public (which is the target audience for a big-budget adaptation, despite any given fandom's assertion to the contrary).

Long shots do nail the target sometimes, though. I considered the Fallout show to be a long shot prior to release.

I want both, however I'm also hesitant they'd do an TES show well.

The bolded fix maybe. Actual good Fallout games are very different.

As someone who prefers Elder Scrolls games over Fallout, a show of it sounds boring.

I love The Elder Scrolls, but I think there is already plenty of good fantasy TV and movies.
Fallout is much more of a unique setting for TV
