I’m not really sure I agree, and I think Fallout is a good case in point. They did nail the general vibe with the dark humor, easter eggs, etc, but it was pretty much a 100% original story that had very little to do with any of the games.
I think the same could have been done with Halo, except the writing and execution of the original story were fucking awful. Faithfulness to the games was never going to help it anyway.

If you want to make an original story that doesn’t have much to do with the games, you don’t make the main character the Master Chief.
agreed. like I said, the execution was awful.
