On my side I played the first Fallout game a long time ago, but I am not very into post-apocalyptic settings (I was very much more a Planescape Torment fan at the time). I enjoyed Fallout on Prime Video very much - it was very neatly done, with a great exposition (a lot of scenes about the society before the apocalypse, which is not done in the games as far as I know ?), and characters having very different POVs and stories. The tongue-in-cheek flavor of Bethesda games is well reproduced (from Fallout, but also Elder Scrolls series from Morrowind onward - I played all of them). I agree - RoP may have lavish pictures, but the story is way too classic - moreoever, first season of RoP and WoT may have suffered by using exactly the same trope : we don't know who is Sauron/the Dragon and we have to guess... which may work for those who did not read the books, but not for us. Both RoP and WoT try to enhance the exotic world feeling, by displaying strange customs - which may work sometimes (dwarven singing in the Moria) or not (ritual mourning of a Warder), but both are missing an humorous subtext and take their characters way too seriously. On the other hand, both series try for an epic - which is not the case for Fallout : not all series should have the same tone.

Only Darkfriends use the monitor 'Great Lord of the Dark' I guess, 'Great Lord' by itself is no issue ?

I would also say Morgase - Thom - while in the past, we have both characters views on their relationship. I think it is interesting to compare Morgase / Elayne relationships : both have kind of the same misgivings - being QUEENS rank a lot in their reasoning, but they feel somewhat immature on relationships once they take off the queen mask. Same feeling or digs about the queen of Saldaea (Tenobia). On the other hand, we have Tylin vs Mat or Berelain vs Perrin...

This matches nicely - Padan Fain would have been a Darkfriend and a traveling merchant for a long time, is then "distilled" in Shayol Ghul and would gain a twisted version of ta'veren powers to be pulled toward the strongest ta'verens around. If I recall correctly he had already rounded his suspicions to Emond's Field 2 or 3 years before EotW ? Afterwards he encounters Mordeth - which could also be seen as a cursed ta'veren, bound to Shadar Logoth - after all the fall of Aridhol was directly his fault - Wonder Twin Powers activates ! Or more accurately, Mordeth would haunt Padan Fain to regain his dagger taken by Mat. Machin Shin would try to destroy Padan Fain's spirit while in the Ways (see the example of an Ogier with no more spirit after an encounter with the Black Wind), but as Padan Fain is already haunted by Mordeth, it only seems to merge the 3 as one unholy horror. Mordeth however has his ta'veren powers geared toward corrupting others - which matches with Padan Fain, a simple hound being tortured by Fades, suddenly being able to gain the upper hand upon Fades and Trollocs...
