It's weird. Usually I would look at the showrunners and writers, but the Halo showrunners actually were much more experienced than the Fallout showrunners. Fallout had Jonathan Nolan involved as a producer and director which I'm sure helped, but the Halo showrunners were experienced TV makers who had made good TV before.

Maybe the rights holders were way more precious and restrictive about continuity and brand protection with Halo?

There was a rumour going somewhere that the script was originally written for a mass effect TV show, but then changed to be for Halo.

I always thought that made sense, because there were a lot of choices in season 1 that sounded more 'mass effect' than halo. It seems like season 2 was show runners trying to course correct from all the lore shit of S1 and sort of getting it at points, but mostly waffling it.

I got the sense that the Halo showrunners were embarrassed to be working on Halo and compensated by changing the lore and characterizations to make it more prestigious. It's like how D and D removed as much magic from A Game of Thrones as possible because magic made a show about ice zombies and dragons too silly.

On the other hand, the Fallout showrunners were probably asked how much lore they wanted to include in the show, and their answer was: "Yes." They were not embarrassed and went all in.

I feel like the issue is that ultimately, Halo is not about the story, it's about gameplay. Like, you can make a show about Halo, but it's not gonna get close to feeling like the best parts of the games. Fallout is about the story, so a show is able to feel like the good parts of the games.

Halo has a story thought, not a bad one either. They had years of books expanding on the Lore.

They ignored them because they felt it wasn't up to their standwards, then proceeded to make something infinitely more generic and less interesting.
