Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I'm not so sure about it being a safe bet. There have been a few good adaptations, but in general I'm very cautious and expect the worst because there has just been so much more garbage that completely ignored everything that made the games great.

For someone who never played the fallout or the withcher games should I feel left out if the show runners ignore some of the canons of the games/source?

What? Do you mean that the shows would require prior knowledge of the source if the showrunners didn't ignore it? Doubt it. I mean a book is a book and a game is a game and not a film or tv show, some changes are expected in the adaptation because it wouldn't work otherwise. But there's a difference to just ignoring stuff, can still make it low barrier for people who don't know the source.
