They wiped out shady sands off screen and made sure the NCR fell.Well that's disappointing :/
Well that's disappointing :/Not surprising, the show lead credited Todd and Bethesda as the creator of the series
I'm not sure Bethesda even gets the point of Fallout, the world didn't just end, life goes on despite it ending.
I'm just glad to have the completely original quest of "Find family member in the wasteland" that Bethesda is so fond of
Is it a BoS wankfest?
As fun as it is to shit all over bethesda, are we sure they even have the rights to use fallout 1 2 and new vegas? It would be easy to claim they're just bitter obsidian wrote a better fallout, but obsidian was also made of all the people who worked on fallout 1 and 2. It feels more likely that there's some sort of shared rights situation and they don't want to have to pay royalties to a third party if possible.Hell to add to this does Bethesda even play a huge part in overseeing the TV series or is this more on the writers?

I'm pretty sure Fallout 4 had direct references to New Vegas.
they didnt only make the ncr fall, they made it fall in such a way and time frame that new vegas was retconned lol
bethesda are still seething after all these years that someone wrote a better fallout game than them

So even if the rights were muddy in the past they wouldn't be now.

I mean, the show's in the same situation as Fallout 4: if you go into it with the expectation that it'll hold a candle / be faithful to the original 2 games and NV, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. There is still some value to be had in Bethesda-brand Fallout when viewed in a bubble, and so far the show is more or less playing to its strengths.
The issue isnt that they are doing their version of fallout. They continued lore and let NV release so its stuff thats been established.
Then to set the show in California and lazily write out the NCR is a problem.
If this show was in like Texas where the lore there is vague it wouldnt be a problem. Maybe theyll explore more later but to just go hey the ncr is done when the rise and fall of the NCR was one of the biggest points of the fallout lore is awful.
Todd Howard is so butthurt that people like New Vegas and the originals better than his slop. pretty obvious now.
It seems pretty clear that Bethesda isn't interested in doing anything conceptually interesting with the Fallout setting; to them Fallout is a static setting dominated by the rule of cool. To Bethesda, Fallout is about people roaming around a deserted nuclear wasteland with high-tech weaponry and gadgets that have a 1950s aesthetic. That's all they'll ever do with it.Nailed it
Bethesda doesn't want society to be rebuilt it seems. That want it to always be wasteland.
Yeah wouldnt it be awesome if we had a game that was just, in a society. And everything was cool, so you just go out and get groceries, make small talk? Yeah sign me up.
Again is Bethesda making all the shots here or do the writers have a say in this series?The series is supposedly 100 percent canon to the games.
Wait,Bethesda hates New Vegas?always has been
Wait,Bethesda hates New Vegas?It overshadowed fallout 3 back in the day.
always has beenNever heard about it until now
Never heard about it until nowI mean, they clearly don't hold it on the same level as 3, 4 and 76. You pretty much never see them promoting it.
