but they've had all of those things, plus VATs, Bloody Mess, chems, loot chests, loading screens, out of bounds glitches, kiting enemies, npc dialogue, buggy aggro, FISTO bot, HUDs, unmarked quests, vendors... there's a ton of fan service.
Yeah, I don't know what they're on about. I was just doing a replay of F:NV, and the Strip and Freeside sets alone are enough to satisfy most of your fan service needs. There were little nods to the lore and game mechanics all over the place in both seasons, to the point where I actually got pulled out of the story a couple of times.
I get why they didn't focus on feral ghouls, because this isn't The Walking Dead, but...

They are there, and Cooper in particular does drugs specifically to avoid going feral.why would you expect any less? TV is made to make money, it is what it is.
oh come on, that's ridiculous. Who would you have preferred to make it?
You can say the exact same stuff about The Last of Us which is also well done. Some things just wouldn't translate well to TV, especially with 8 episode seasons.
Look I'm not even trying to say you're wrong for wanting something different, but at least acknowledge it could have been a lot worse, like the Halo TV show.
Pacing is my worst complaint about the show, I've stopped watching until a full season is out because in some episodes nothing actually happens. Also they keep doing hard cuts to black with a bass hit as a transition over and over again, I think thats really lazy.
Other than that, I agree with your comment and still really enjoying the show as a longtime fallout fan.
To be fair, Bezos did make the right call with the Expanse. He's got precedent for potentially having good taste in Scifi.
I feel like the idea that bezos had any influence in the taste department is suspect. Billionaires are the most out of touch people on the planet. Anything that sounds good comes from PR/advisors.
