"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

limited by being an interactive medium where the average narrative length is dozens of hours.

We need the unlimited story telling freedom enabled by passively watching disjoint chunks of ad-riddled content

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