Exactly, they were landgrabbing people, putting insane taxes so they will leave the land and NCR could landgrab them.

That's what Raiders do, they either murder you or use you to get money.

dense owl
#

They’ve been at war since near the end of f2, tldr they had a falling out over what to do with Navarro and thus began to fight. Of what we know with the ncr brotherhood war shady sands entire gold supply was destroyed and sent the ncr on a downward spiral.

long valve
#

Why were there no Deathclaws in California?

coral mortar
#

This is correct. Moldaver only used the raiders as pawns. Characterizing the entire NCR as raiders is inaccurate.

It won't be when they film in it

I also loved Vault 4’s punishment system. Simply banishing Lucy back to the surface

Yes but seems weird to make it look like it’s an Xbox 360 render when it’s for a show lol

dense owl
#

Moldaver needed force, and especially seeing what the vault is itself. Would want max and extreme prejudice

#

But we didn’t see any here by 2296. Only the gulpers

#

Just not there at the current point as it didn't really go with the story now in season 2 we may see the Divide

dense owl

Will the Divide still have been nuked though?

I want to see Deathclaws actually be vicious creatures

If they made the fall os Shady Sands/Nuke literally 2087 instead of 2077 everything is fixed.

Throwing people around, slicing them with ease, or even crushing a T-60 boy

That’s not what a Deathclaw is tho?

It’s AFTER New Vegas

coral mortar
dense owl
#

Ncr was on the decline in new Vegas. Brotherhood war, legion war, first battle of Hoover dam, etc

small linden
#

I think it is implausible we don’t know anything about Shady sands being destroyed in New Vegas.

dense owl
#

That’s because it happened later

coral mortar

#

(and the NCR was already falling by NV)

fresh cosmos
#

The NCR collapsing at all imo doesnt make sense. The idea that they couldn't have gotten past their issues presented in NV is imo inane. It assumes that all civilizations must fall if they have issues.

dense owl
#

Going off of Maximus and Lucy’s age I’d put it around 10 years ago. Which would be what 9 years after new Vegas

small linden
dense owl
#

So far all we have confirmed is shady sands fall ncr still lives on we see that in the ending

fresh cosmos
coral mortar
small linden
#

NCR yes is falling by FNV but the nuke likely did not happen by the events of new Vegas. It seems implausible we would not hear about it at all. 2277 being the start of the fall is fine but the nuke prob did not happen in the same year.

I haven’t fully rewatched the episodes but I skimmed a bunch of them trying to find any direct mention to ages or dates but no luck

Need the wiki people to start typing up each episode one by one so we can search

The NCR was still in the strip when Vegas was destroyed. There are MP troop helmets next to the corpses

2277 only means shady sands started to decline.

#

Ok well what does “Fall” mean in this case ? Seems weird to place a year for something that wasn’t as dramatic until it was nuked

Hopefully the Strip is fine

The first battle of hoover damn

Guess whatever the Courier and pals did in the Mojave was all for nothing, I guess.

dense owl
#

ncr is a fun faction but they’ve also been a weird one

timber raptor
#

Look at the corpse on the right, NCR MP helmet

small linden
#

My theory is 2277 the NCR is in a decline, them calling it a “Fall” is like how Historians indicate the fall of the Roman Empire. The nuke happens after the events of New Vegas. Not sure why it’s not cleared up but this is prob what they meant

dense owl

Lets us craft our own theories

Giving a full written timeline removes questions and theories

Why would he go to New Vegas if it was barren anyways

Mr.house

Mr House ending is prob canon

Why does he want Mr House, he didn’t seem convinced by the vault Tec meeting

Even the Enclave tried to buy him in.

So it's most likely a NCR ending

#

And forced the ncr to pay for water/electricity per the kilowatt hour

#

I think it’s an NCR victory that ended up screwing them over more as it hurt them more economically etc etc

He does have one sorta. Tldr I think a 40 miler radius shutdown

timber raptor
#

Securitrons got wrecked by something

little condor
#

NCR wins, Securitrons go poof, Shady Sands gets nuked, NCR pulls out, bye-bye Vegas. Or, Courier wins, Securitrons go poof, Shady Sands gets nuked, mass anarchy and chaos, bye-bye Vegas.

timber raptor
#

It looks like the securitrons were fighting something

dense owl
#

problem is that this is talking about the artistic end credits which we don’t know if they’re canon or just conceptual

small linden
#

It doesn’t make sense why New Vegas looks like shit if Mr House is still alive, so he might be dead. But then why does Hank go to New Vegas ?

timber raptor
dense owl
#

If so do we take every one of them as such.

timber raptor
#

Claw marks

#

And even if House is dead, who's to say he didn't have contingencies for that; guy brain-scanned his starlet GF's, why not brain-scan himself as a backup solution?

coral mortar
#

Or, he could be going there because he knows House will have had resources that he can possibly snag to help him

timber raptor
#

Could also be an Elijah ending, because it looks like the cloud is there

dense owl
small linden
#

Maybe NCR wins, they start to get weakened, then they try to take down Mr House, so it backfired massively. This makes the most sense hence why we see NCR and Securitrons dead in the streets

# odd wedge that would lead him to Big MT next

Good luck defeating lobotomites, corrupted Securitrons, and one PO'ed and brain-damaged delivery person. Some schlubby Vault-Tec exec ain't breaking in there without mercenary assistance, and I mean top-shelf merc assistance.

All of these freakouts bring me back to the Jet Prewar days

little condor
#

New Vegas getting offscreened by Tunnelers just would feel.... cheap. Like, yes, it was mentioned as a possibility by Ulysses, but come the hell on, why would a crazy fatalistic dude be taken seriously as gospel?

timber raptor
#

There's also destroyed securitrons on the road outside of the wall, I'm assuming it might've been some sort of defense perimeter

dense owl
#

plus if they really want Ulysses nuke both canon

little condor
#

True, though that almost feels too easy. When in doubt, just fire nukes, they're the easiest reset button possible.

odd marsh
#

They've been used to kill a villain or open a path to the villain since 1

It's kind of classic at this point

dense owl
#

Actually the original reset button was far more elaborate and convoluted

So, this is an unfortunate turn of events for my favorite faction, but imo this was a brilliant show

And may Hank and Vault-Tec eternally burn in hell alongside House.

I mean, at the end of the day Shady Sands is just one city

#

I can't believe I was actually right about Vault-Tec

#

No doubt that's gonna piss a lot of people off lol

#

Just the other day I was talking about what Vault-Tec would do if not for the bombs. And it's clear: they would ensure they fell

fresh cosmos

Eh, it'll just make Vault-Tec's final destruction all the more sweet.

fresh cosmos
#

So we have an attack on titan moment for NV. Maybe there could still be people inside.

#

Would be funny if the only person left alive in New Vegas is Yes Man, still waiting patiently outside the Tops after all this time.

#

No longer a theory though, but confirmed fact

"oH mY gOd bEtHeSdA rEmOvEd nCr" i guess the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th states just DONT EXIST THEN RIGHT?

night vault
#

Although it sounds like Vault-tec just started it, I believe there's still overwhelming evidence that China did launch bombs

shrewd rune
#

As of now, no

crimson anchor
little condor
#

In which case, when the time comes to finally put an end to Vault-Tec, perhaps the Shi could come along? What better way to end that company than for both the heirs of America and China alike to strike down the bastards who tricked their forefathers into ending the world?

Y’all think Lucy has like 0 caps to her name?

I think Lucy did more side quests than her main quest

So the BOS has infinite energy now. I wonder whats gonna come about that.

crimson anchor

#

Her new main quest
“Father, Forgive Me”
• Track your Dad across the United States and eliminate him at all costs. After all, you have nothing left to lose.

crimson anchor
#

wait.

wait a minute

ARCHIMEDES

fresh cosmos
#

Im a big fan of the BOS but it just feels odd sidelining the NCR just so that the BOS could be at the forefront of the show. Gives me 40k vibes where 90% of the material is based around Space Marines, while everything else in the setting fights for the last 10%.

long valve
#

I want to see Lucy take some Med-X and Psycho and be temporarily unstoppable as she ranks a few gunshots and stab wounds until combat is over and she starts to complain about the pain

dense owl
#

ncr won. They powered the city itself clean energy

#

I don’t think the brotherhood can remove it without fear of destruction

long valve
#

I think Med-X would give her a temporary 400 damage resistance whilst the Psycho would give her a 999% increase to all damage

crimson anchor

#

It seems like the BOS are being set up to be the big bads of the series 🤔

For once, they need to not be the good guys since they’re morally questionable

cold fusion has like infinite power. the lights that it powers is an infinitesmall poriton of the power it can generate

fresh cosmos
crimson anchor
#

i hope to god in season 2 we get to see northern ncr attempt to retake the cold fusion. hopefully we get to see the shi, idk, like sell ncr t51b/vb02 vertibirds

fresh cosmos
#

Yea hope we get to see some NCR cities. Even the brief flashback with the cable car was really nice.

dense owl
#

well we only have 2-3 confirmed cities? Arroyo, Vault City, and Potentially new reno

long valve
#

So cold fusion is a hypothetical thing in reality

long valve
#

Trying to achieve the fusion reaction at room temperature instead of immense heat and pressure like in stars

crimson anchor
long valve
#

Yeah it does unsurprisingly

#

If they achieved nuclear fission or made the fusion core as a tiny nuclear fusion generator, cold fusion works well

#

Imagine if power armor was powered by cold fusion instead of the fusion core. It would last forever

#

I kinda for some reason hope Appalachia or the Capital Wasteland get referenced. They already referenced the Commonwealth right?

timber raptor
#

Yeah but imagine if it gets damaged

crimson anchor
#

tbh, the bos in the show barely has any scribes

dense owl
#

Well that’s sorta how fusion tech works. It’s unlimited energy for a short time until it dies out entirely

timber raptor
crimson anchor
long valve
#

But this is a different west coast chapter, distinct from the Mojave and original BoS tribes

crimson anchor
long valve
#

Also canonically accurate power armor for durability and how deadly it is

#

They deal like 500 unarmed damage and can instantly cripple heads

crimson anchor
#

it reminds me less of a tank and more of a humvee

timber raptor
#

Armor gets compromised after a few successive hits usually

long valve
#

Titus dying because of Max refusing to heal him felt a bit needed. Titus was a bitch

#

Bro tells Max to be brave and runs from a damn Yao Guai in power armor

crimson anchor
dense owl
#

Wait. Muldaver is pre war so did she get put into the vault cryo pods?

long valve
crimson anchor
dense owl
#

Would explain vault 22 getting out and then knowing

timber raptor
#

She is, she's the lady in black at the church

dense owl
#

her company was bought by vault tec

crimson anchor
#

but shes from vault 33, not 31 tho

odd wedge
#

Shes the same person Mr. Ghoul met

daring pilot
timber raptor
#

I like how they referenced vault 106, I think it was the west tek guy

long valve
#

Also do you guys think Tim Cain and Brian Fargo were happy to see how far Fallout had come since 97?

crimson anchor
long valve
#

Several successful games and a TV show with a second season in pre production?

crimson anchor
#

vault 75 was clearly mentioned

timber raptor
#

It was kind of chilling hearing them already start selling out citizens

long valve
#

how do Stimpaks work? They don’t heal wounds, but they slow bleeding or stop it

timber raptor
#

Probably a mix of adrenaline and coagulation agents

long valve
#

Explains how Dogmeat got up after Ghoul stabbed her

#

She was such a good girl and best girl even wibble

crimson anchor
long valve
#

I think they knew if she died, we would have rioted and gave the show a 0/10. So I’m glad they let Dogmeat live

I want them to make limited time cars based on what we saw in the show and sell them for 2077 prices like $30,000

crimson anchor

#

Drain us of our wallets more

#

I like the car Bud had. It’s cool

timber raptor
#

Give us an RPD for fallout 76, or have the regular assault rifle benefit from stabilized aswell

I really enjoyed the show, it scratched that Fallout itch ive been having for a long time

timber raptor

Max destroys Vault 4 and Lucy tells him it’s okay
“Oops”
Steals their fusion core and is angy to give up the power armor, returns the fusion core and abandons the T-60

crimson anchor
crimson anchor
long valve
#

I think the power armor being effectively worthless without a fusion core should have been implemented in 4 and 76. Like if you have no cores, it kicks you out

timber raptor
long valve
crimson anchor
#

fusion cores are plentiful, fallout 4 taught me tat!

long valve
#

This is a show, not a game. It treats it like reality to an extent, rare stuff like that are not common

long valve
#

HeBoy Knife c’mere

crimson anchor
#

ok but that emoji combination is godly

long valve
#

I kinda wish the 10mm looked like its 76 variant with the longer barrel, but the 4 variant worked well

#

Also the Colt 6520 being a revolver can put me at ease. The magazine is there for show

#

Maybe it has a cylinder with 10 rounds? Or the magazine feeds the cylinder? Idk. The thing rotates at least

dense owl
#

It’s still a mag fed revolver

#

12 rounds of 10mm with rotating cylinder

long valve
#

Also the 6520 killing the Yao Guai with a single bullet, Max must have had Better Crits, a crit charged up, maxed out his gunslinger perks, and used every damage boosting item available

crimson anchor
#

ok but the imfdb database on the fo4 assault rifle is super funny "The fictional "Assault Rifle" from Fallout 4 is used by Brotherhood of Steel knights. It is a machine gun with a receiver that slightly resembles one from the MAS AA-52, the cooling jacket of a Lewis Gun (albeit with features from water-cooled jackets), and an oversized M249 handguard. In Episode 2, a Brotherhood knight tries fending off an attacking "Yao Guai" (the name given to mutated black bears) with one of these "Assault" MGs, but this causes the mutated bear to bite off the gun's receiver, ending its shameful existence."

It’s then used to shoot the Gulper and decimate much of the ncr infantry

It WORKS WELL FOR POWER ARMOR OKAY? IT LOOKS GOOFY ON NORMAL PEOPLE

Just looked up the joules from a a .50 BMG, and yea PA is going to do nothing to protect Knights from Veteran Rangers.

timber raptor
#

Even during the last scenes, ghoulie's pistol wrecks 4 PA dudes

long valve
#

Well because it had a design flaw in the torso

#

He shot below its chest piece and hit them in the center of mass, killing the PA boys

fresh cosmos
#

Yea it was a weakspot in the armor, it also looked like he was using a different type of ammo maybe armor piercing.

crimson anchor
#

ok twitter is trolling hard lol

crimson anchor
long valve
#

Yeah that’s what Ghoul mentioned when he wore the T-45 at Anchorage. It had a similar issue

#

I think even prewar the T-60 had that exact same issue with not protecting the center of mass

crimson anchor
long valve
#

They probably didn’t know about it since they’re tech freaks and assume they’re unkillable in the T-60 like 76 PVPers who spam Stimpaks and Nuka-Quantum

crimson anchor
long valve
#

But skill issue for the PA dudes, they should have used Overeater’s on their PA for damage reduction LOLBoy

pure crest
#

At least they made clear when T60 dropped, post battle of anchorage

long valve
#

Hell, Ghoul probably had anti-armor on his revolver

tribal belfry

#

Real. He’s a Ghoul and doesn’t have enough rads to run bloodied, smh

#

Lucy is probably doing a Beserker’s build since she wore no armor

crimson anchor
long valve
#

I think everybody has Bloody Mess as an active perk

#

Because a lot of people die in gory ways or lose limbs similarly

crimson anchor

Also L. Lucy is level 10 and she somehow managed to survive 3 weeks without armor, smh

#

That was just a simulation for Fallout 3

crimson anchor
#

the anchorage campaign has been widely debunked as american propaganda

long valve
#

They probably didn’t have enough time to even deploy the T-51b in reality. It was only the T-45 that was there and even then, it didn’t make much of a difference

pure crest
#

"The T-51 series of Power Armor was the pinnacle of mechanized protection before the Great War. First introduced in the Battle of Anchorage, it is highly valued today for its increased protective capabilities.

— Fallout 4 Loading Screen

Yeah that’s propaganda

crimson anchor

#

Ah yes, the loading screens are just straight up lies

Fallout loved to over exaggerate Anchorage. Hell, even Cooper himself said it’s only the T-45 at Anchorage when he served

#

I swear lore makers have no idea what development time is lmao

long valve
#

They did not have time to push out the T-51b by the time Anchorage got reclaimed

pure crest
tribal belfry
#

So I was right that t51 was after anchorage

crimson anchor
dense owl
#

They pushed t51b near the end of the anchorage conflict

long valve
#

And so was T-60. Both made it out after Anchorage

pure crest
#

No, unless the loading screen is a straight up lie

long valve
#

But T-45 was rushed and didn’t help much during the Anchorage conflict

crimson anchor
fresh cosmos
tribal belfry
long valve
#

I think T-51b may have been introduced right AFTER Anchorage was reclaimed

tribal belfry
#

It’s easier to repair too

long valve
#

It was one of the best PA’s prewar, but it was too expensive to make

tribal belfry
#

But holy shit was it ugly

pure crest
#

That's also not true, X01 is the best prewar

crimson anchor
#

i dont like that they just pulled a "t60 has massive defect because it inherited it from t45 despite the BOS likely knowing this problem and having 200 years to fix it"

#

thats just lazy writing imo

fresh cosmos
#

This is a series coming from a company that breaks canon whenever they release a new Elder Scrolls game, I wouldnt think too much about when the T-51 was introduced.

tribal belfry
tribal belfry
#

Work on the x01 barely just started before the Great War

long valve
#

Even in the Whitespring bunker it says X-01 is a prototype power armor

and i wish goggins was instead a regular grunt rather than another Power Armor user

long valve
#

He’s the ghoul

tribal belfry
#

The x01 was not anywhere close to operational

long valve

Isn’t that why Advanced Power Armor was made to build upon the X-01?

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, not the 13 Commonwealths

mortal yarrow
pure crest
crimson anchor
long valve
#

But for Fallout 4 players, they do mean the Commonwealth itself since none of the Commonwealth regions are remembered

pure crest
long valve
#

Nobody remembers the names of the Commonwealtjs by 2296

#

They only know of “one” Commonwealth and that’s the region in Massachusetts

mortal yarrow
#

im sure people remember pennsylvania

crimson anchor
# pure crest No, that's a major assumption

im not sure what youre using but you would be in the 0.001% of the fanbase to assume that the commonwealth used in the show is the 13 commonwealths of pre war united states which was last used 219 years ago

mortal yarrow
#

but borders mean nothing

crimson anchor
#

if the BOS expanded to all 13 commonwealths, then that just proves that the BOS won Fo4

tribal belfry
#

At this point you can’t even deny it

long valve
#

Yeah most of the non Fallout audience wouldn’t know about the 13 Commonwealths, they would likely learn about the Boston Commonwealth

crimson anchor
#

holy cow the BOS conquered all of the US!!!!!

pure crest
#

What I'm saying is that they are referencing the South West Commonwealth

timber raptor
#

Not fair

long valve
#

The 13 Commonwealths are basically nonexistent at this point since each Wasteland is referred to by its region like the New California Wasteland, Mojave, Capital Wasteland, and Boston Commonwealth

tribal belfry
crimson anchor
timber raptor
#

No way they are referencing the sw commonwealth

long valve
tribal belfry
#

Give me one reason Bethesda would do that. One logical reason

Bethesda would reference their own creations, aka Boston Commonwealth. Jesus Christ this is worse than arguing with a NV fanboy

entirely possible they took a bunch of people out of 31 to rush the job

Why did a vault 32 guy kill himself by shoving a fork into a toaster

Vault 31 residents are so eepy, they have been eepy for 219 years :3

we see on the screen of 32 the rats being forced to kill each other for their place in the room

tribal belfry

Also unrealistic, Lucy didn’t loot every item she found AngryFistBoy

the implications of the blood paintings are that 32 found out about vault 31 and what they are and people went nuts

you say this like living in a vault is normal people

Her carry weight is 40/40. Anymore and she would be overencumbered

Maximus is just a failure of a PA build

maximus is the freshie who doesnt have a build since he still thinks that non legendary PA is still god like

What build is Lucy? A “yes” build? Also her Sneak is like 15 since her shoe squeaked

All the PA dudes at 20 base strength because their PA had some shitty 1* and 2* with +1 STR as the 3*

You fly the vertibirds into the building

vertibirds need to fly into the ground like in fo4

Lucy can be really naive but that brief exchange of smile with Roger was really somethin. I really liked it.

poor Roger though, man was on the verge of turning

who's the third since Burke and Orlando were the first two?

Codsworth cameo was sick and so was the lore for Vault boy

Maybe I gotta rewatch the series because I do not remember that image above. Granted I went to sleep at like 4 in the morning after I binged all 8 episodes lol

Vault Boy barely has any lore

we learned NOTHING about him

crimson anchor
tribal belfry

tribal belfry

I think Lucy is just the outlier out of all the protags. She just happens to be weaker

long valve
#

they should make a non-canon episode of the 76 dwellers being ghouls and killing everything while jumping high asf, shooting fast, healing from wounds, and being high as fuck from their chems

tribal belfry

Like the sole survivor for example took out a deathclaw on their first day probably

crimson anchor

tommy gun from 1920s with pasgt helmet from 1990s very nice

tribal belfry

even Cooper would be like "now what in the fuck are these ghouls if they're killing everything faster than I can?"

rare acorn
#

There's a modern combat helmet on one NCR, like something they'd be wearing in Afghanistan post 2010s

most 76ers are highly irradiated

so maybe? (and its intentional as well since they have magical bloodied guns and Unyielding armor that makes them damn near unkillable)

They're pretty big

already got used to live action Fallout show which are CGI and practical effects I forgor what video game Fallout looks like

Video game fallout is more disappointing than the show.

the show is so good I forget what gameplay is like Sadge

Now I need a creepy realism fo5

Fallout 5 better have these graphics or else I’m rioting. Waiting until 2030s for this

I'd bet a decent amount that it'll take place there, since when 5 comes out the previous fallout project would have been west coast

The scene where the bos are walking through the NCR HQ in a line of 3 mowing down everyone was probably the coolest thing I've seen in awhile

Got to give credit to the NCR bannerman, charging them with his flag.

goddammit now I want somebody to make a mod for 4 based on the show but with some more interactivity

tribal belfry
warm ermine

So much in the show just looked infinitely cooler than in game

but the mod gives us three characters to play as, either Maximus, the Ghoul, or Lucy

Everything looks so much better than Creation Engine's graphics for very obvious reasons

playing the games is going to feel like a nostalgia for the show

we need her tank top/armor as an outfit in 76 please please please please

It's got me in an absolute chokehold

meager basin

I mean id bet actual money that 5 will have a vault 33 jumpsuit in it

I like how they teased the death claw and super mutants

rich iron

The price of binging the show is that we now have no more show to watch right now.

warm ermine

oh yeah that reminds me

long valve
#

UGH its going to be so hard playing the games since we have to play them and be the protag instead of watching someone else do it

warm ermine

I was right its like a mutant picture

and the left still looks like fuckin hanhock

is there a picture of kimball on the altar?

We never even found out why the fuck she was worshipped.

warm ermine

idk why that episode was labeled as "sexual content" there was no sex at all besides the first episode

I'm already mixing them up

I mean they were drinking blood

6 was the best episode imo besides the final scenes in 8 with the battle

this scene was the funniest

I wish we can take off our Pip-Boy like Lucy can

also wish the HUD for the T-60 had the compass in the middle, it had the HP, armor status, fusion core charge, and AP

right now

no clue. its not even in pre-production yet kekdog

so was vault 4 attempting to interbreed humans with wasteland creatures or something?

That was funny, they put in effort not to call them dogmeat in all the promotional material, then clearly caved.
No one is gonna remember the dogs proper name anyway.

hope you all liked that cameo of fallout nerds they did

Cooper was firing shots like its no ones buisness, and even if he was charismatic once, he sure as shit aint now.

I think the funniest scene in this show actually for me was when maximus is going on his first mission with Titus and Titus is just like "SET US DOWN IM BORED I WANNA SHOOT SOMETHING" and they just happen to end up near the target

pre-war he had that rizz

Titus kinda deserved his death though

We'll see. I dont think its deserted. Unless the tunnelers got there. But whats the chances of Ulysses ever being right?

long valve

he wouldn't be running the Strip if the Lucky 38 is dead

brittle vortex

im gonna assume the courier capping him is cannon

rich iron

They wouldn't of bothered giving him an actor then teasing new vegas if House was dead.

meager basin
crimson anchor

they made new vegas so much more bigger than the one in game

console limitations

the Strip would have been much larger if 360 and PS3 didn't have weak limitations

meager basin

well all the games are downsized compared to their real life counterparts

damn the Tops as well

meager basin

else it would take actual real life days to traverse the whole map (like Daggerfall)

Those were good days.

new vegas is lacking its overpasses

the strip north gate

The colour scheme is giving me Fallout dust ptsd.

It would be cruel to tease new vegas, and then give us a ghost town. They've killed Shady Sands, surely they wound'nt kill Vegas?

long valve

Tunnelers may have escaped the Divide

meager basin

well theres communities around NV, the whole region isn't a ghost town, just downtown

Ulysses has literally been wrong about everything else.

If tunnelers have spread, America is fucked.

... Are we going to find out why House sealed off parts of 21?

The lore is different now cuz it says shady sands got nuked in 2277 so before LR can even happen, plus it was vault tec somehow

long valve

he isn't alive if the Strip has been compromised

If the strip has been compromised the 38 could still hold.

Did you guys notice they had both types of 10mm pistols, they got the fo4 shaped ones and the classic design

hexed cosmos

Its true though the existence of grass in the franchise ruins it for many

rare acorn
#

The gulper lore drop was nasty

long valve

probably for the west only?

hexed cosmos

Yeah for some reason that bothers me more than the NCR

meager basin

how tf did they create the gulper

long valve
#

Gulpers have existed in the east coast without anything from Vault 4

hexed cosmos
#

I like my mutant animals the way they are thank you very much

the meeting in episode 8 has: vault tec, west tek, repconn, big mt, sierra madre, and rob co

aside from vault tec and west tek, the other 4 can all be found in Fallout: New Vegas

rare acorn
meager basin
#

that specific gulper is different from the Far Harbor ones

brittle vortex
#

i do think the way shady sands went out is kinda dumb, but the show suprisingly showed a decent ammount of love to the west coast lore

rare acorn
#

The ranger armor cameo was noice

brittle vortex
#

that caught me off guard yeah

rare acorn
#

Also big mt

#

They are clearly referencing NV while at the same time changing some things about it imo

crimson anchor
#

I WANT TO SEE THE SHI

brittle vortex
#

i was kinda upset when i was halfway through ep 8 and nobody had made any sort reference to vegas, but that ending really got me stoked

meager basin
#

NV seems to be the game they've referenced the most so far, and 2 the least

brittle vortex
#

so like, its either house or independent ending right?

meager basin
#

most likely yeah

brittle vortex
#

wonder if we will get any nv character cameos

meager basin
#

we technically already have since House and Sinclair appeared in the last episdoe

brittle vortex
#

ig i mean like, arcade or the king or something]

long valve
#

was Sinclair always fat then?

rare acorn
#

I believe it was independent ending cuz of the chaos

long valve
#

The independent without Securitrons from the Fort?

rare acorn
#

That's assuming these endings are even relevant

#

Might change up what happened with NV too

brittle vortex
#

i mean, they sorta cannonized the ending of 4

rare acorn
#

Highest clerics of the Commonwealth sent the airship right

brittle vortex
#

i would be suprised if they went in another direction besides a cannon ending

meager basin
brittle vortex
meager basin
#

if that's the case 4's ending would be narrowed down to 2 possibilties. Although I thought Todd told the team not to canonize an ending for 4 yet

brittle vortex
#

i would assume that means they won and set up a permenant spot there, because the BOS force we see in fallout 4 was like strictly a military force or whatever

brittle vortex
meager basin
#

Minuteman ending but without the BoS being destroyed (which is possible)

brittle vortex
#

true but the way these live action BOS dudes talk about ruling/protecting the wasteland, i dont see a peacefull cohabitation

#

but ye thats just speculation

meager basin
#

I don't think the BoS gives a shit about the Minuteman so long as they wouldn't interfere with synth hunting

brittle vortex
#

also wtf was a brotherhood knight doing at ground zero of shady sands seemingly minutes after the blast to meet young maximus

rare acorn
#

Also these bos guys wiped out filly

meager basin
brittle vortex
#

fair

for some reason I feel the show somehow took away my motivation or will to play any of the Fallout games

like I had to force myself on 76 for the daily challenges for score and turn in my treasury notes

And I was just getting back into 4

Between this and the update, I'm no longer so interested

maybe the next gen update on the 25th might be enough

I'm not interested in getting 50-100 hours into Fo4 before the update breaks all my mods

long valve

there's always NV, but even then I don't have any motivation to finish Lonesome Road and do the battle of hoover dam

Somehow I feel like that was the point

maybe in honor of season 2 taking place in the Mojave, I should finish my run

dense owl

Shady Sands and the republic started going downhill then it was nuked later.

rare acorn

Oh I see what you mean actually

I thought it was implying that's when it got nuked cuz there's no date on the mushroom cloud

This is also retroactive, so fall can be interpreted in more than a few ways

I interpret it as the NCR are still a powerhouse but their capital moved to the Hub

Plus the first battle of Hoover dam, and the second upcoming, tandis death etc

I think Fallout 5 will be NCR focused anyway due to the lack of NCR forces in the TV show

The NCR are iconic and give the series iconic iconography

A lot of things do, it's a versatile franchise

The reason why they are not there maybe to do with bethesda removing them and having it for Fallout 5

It can appear ideal but there's a lot of factors inside the ncr harming it. Like the aforementioned brahmin barons

#

Who were trying to form an oligarchy within the ncr and were killing people to do it

brittle vortex
#

okay but what we were seeing was still a happy functional community though

#

nothing about that looked "fallen"

You missed the point. Aesthetic Observations don't include all factors or facets of a society. Especially from a single perspective

there was infastructure, and working public transportation, it was the most functional city above ground, i just dont see the word fall being apropriate for it idk

Fall can mean a lot of things in the context of a society tbf

like regardless if there was corruption that was a functional city seemingly

Idk the NCRs main issue is it became increasingly dysfunctional as it expanded. And it expanded due to demands from it's politicians causing a loop
