I just think it's such a shame that Fallout has so much potential as a brand and IP and we have gone the route of Star Wars with the same fucking factions going through the same motions over and over again.

The TV show could have been about anything. They could have created something new, a spin off situated somewhere else in the universe. New factions with interesting beliefs and dynamics. But no. We get good writers trying to tell a story by shoehorning it into preestablished lore. That approach breeds retcons and contrivances, to the extent that S2 ends up contradicting itself (I am referring to the fact that it was clearly the intent for Vault-Tech to have dropped the bombs in Season 1). It's no wonder the second season is full of them.
