From what I can tell, the show is doing great with most people, but some fans have been proclaiming that “it’s not good if you’re a fan of the video games”, but then I see people responding with “I am a huge fallout fan and I love the show”. Also, Tim Cain, the co-creator of fallout, loves the show; he loves the details in the background so much that he sometimes missed the dialogue.
So, from my pov, who has not watched the show or played the games, it seems like some people are throwing out “as a fan of the series…” to validate their opinion.
No it’s not good from the point of the book! In every single episode (every episode is a short story from the first book) they made at least one critical mistake that completely erases what makes the short stories so genius in the book. It’s madining because the look and feel is very nicely captured and there was no reason to not follow the book more closely in the crutial plot points… ahhh such a wasted opportunity. I don’t care much about the rest. I think only the first Witcher book is really good.

I mean I think there is a difference between making a story based in the lore of something vs the same characters.
You just have less creative liberty when you are telling a story about the MC.

I didn’t even know there is a book that the show is based on, this whole time I thought it was its own story
