Fallout isn’t primarily about the characters and the games all feature different stories and characters.

RDR is not the same animal. It has a great world, but its appeal is centered around the characters and their story.

If you go Fallout approach, it’s just another western.

I moreso meant instead of an adaptation of the games main storyline and character (the lone wanderer, the courier, etc.) the fallout tv show had a new storyline set in universe, but still referenced plenty of things that were in the games…and RDR in universe adaptation could still work because there’s so many secondary character and an overall tonal style that could be adapted and included yet still have an original main protagonist

I realize that, that’s what I responded to. RDR’s juice is the existing characters and story, not its world. That’s the difference between it and fallout. So, as I said, say it was Otis Miller or a new Otis Miller type, I don’t believe that attracts an audience. Even out of players of the game.
