After the huge success of the Amazon Fallout TV show, some have wondered whether The Elder Scrolls, Bethesda\u2019s fantasy video game franchise, might be next in line for an adaptation. But what does Bethesda boss Todd Howard think?<\/p>\n

In an interview with Eurogamer ahead of the launch of Fallout Season 2, Howard refused to rule out the possibility of an Elder Scrolls TV show, but did suggest the post-apocalyptic sci-fi franchise Fallout was better suited to an adaptation.<\/p>\n

“I will say this, the Fallout journey was like a 10 year one,” Howard replied to the suggestion of an Elder Scrolls adaptation. “After Fallout 3, people were asking to do a movie or show for Fallout, and we really took our time.”<\/p>\n

Howard “can’t rule in or rule out an Elder Scrolls thing in the future,” Eurogamer said, but he also believes the Fallout franchise was “more uniquely suited” and had “more to say in its genre.\u201d<\/p>\n

Howard continued: “But, you never know. I think the impact of the show on Fallout as a franchise has been bigger than I expected, so it does make you think like, ‘Hey, is there a path?’ But, nothing today… [and] I’m willing to say ‘no’ for a decade.”<\/p>\n

The Fallout series is wide-ranging in tone and content. Indeed, Season 2 star Macaulay Culkin touched on this in a recent interview with IGN, explaining why he\u2019s so big into the Fallout lore.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou could have zombies in it, you have deathclaws, you have monsters and things like that,\u201d he said. \u201cI mean, gosh, you have aliens. You name it, you can throw it at the wall. Even Fallout 76, I mean, the Mothman is now fair game. It is that kind of stuff. There’s no really shape to it. You can kind of stick any kind of shape piece into that hole.\u201d<\/p>\n
