You put words into my mouth. I don’t mind some of the “alterations” but as with any creative works and drama-- if it works, it works. People complained of the Brotherhood’s cultish acts which deviated from the videogame, but it is in line with real life drama where any organisations do not stay the same overtime. For example, the Catholic Church of today is not the same as the Catholic Church 500 years ago.
I’m wondering if those complaining about the “deviation” played the same games as me. The BoS was as always a bit cultish. While I didn’t quite catch it as a kid it was pretty apparent when starting the series over as an adult.
