The evil ending is never canon Otherwise all the sequels to Fallout 1 would be about the Master's perfect society slowly enveloping the entire continent

Wipe the slate clean. Begin again. It would be funny if the Fallout TV show went with the Wild Wasteland Planet of the Apes ending where the NCR and Legion both get nuked back to the stone age. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Nov 30, 2023 |

I haven't seen season 4 of Westworld yet, but Johnathan Nolan and Lisa Joy did a really good job with it, even if production didn't always run smooth. And that's a great cast. I'm cautiously interested, especially with it being canon and not an adaptation. Anyone ever read the old story treatment for a Fallout film Interplay had written up? It's....something. Fallout 1 would actually adapt really well into a film.

I vaguely remember reading bits of it and the script saying the retrofuturistic thing would specifically only be in the vault as the vault Tec aesthetic bc they didn’t think general audiences would be able to get the idea of “it’s what people in the 50s thought the future would be like” Though I guess in fo1/2 the 50s theme only really showed up in pre war artifacts and post apoc society itself having the same aesthetic wasn’t quite there until 3/NV

But the fact that Fallout 3 recuperated a lot of that implies to me that they were already quite successful in establishing the aesthetic.

Right, but if it was a number that had previously gone unused or was only vaguely touched on, then that means they're at least trying to keep established Bethesda-era canon in mind for the series, which is a good thing.

Megazver posted:They've mentioned they are trying to fit it into the current canon. The trailer makes it seem much more like something on the East Coast with Brotherhood of Steel members running around in such big numbers and in T-45 Power Armor, and if the series is set in 2296, that's 15 years after New Vegas, is the new California Republic going to be a big part of the series? Seems weird so far.

Technically it's T60 armor, which is just T45 with extra stuff bolted onto it. There's apparently some images of another vault (maybe the Cyclops overseer's vault?) that features an NCR flag in the corner. The Brothethood isn't extinct in the west. The Mojave chapter got wrecked but they've been strong enough in California to launch an airship expedition to the Capitol Wasteland in Fallout 4 and they've got an internal affairs division called the Circle of Steel to monitor the various chapters.

Yeah, out west the Brotherhood resoundingly lost the NCR-Brotherhood war, forcing them into retreat and hiding. The Prydwen was a creation by the Capital Wasteland Brotherhood, which... it's a bit murky on how much connection they have now to the West Coast Brotherhood. Because Maxson restored some of their old tenets and brought the Outcasts back in, but they're also conscripting from local populations. There's a terminal in the Prydwen by one of the endless collection questgivers which is meant to be a biography of Maxson which makes some bizarre claims--including that Maxson is considered the supreme leader of both coast chapters, got his facial scar at 13 fighting a deathclaw and was also killing raiders before he'd hit puberty, and that the east and west coast brotherhoods are in communication--but it sounds less like reality and more like fascist mythologizing. Of course, it's Bethesda's writing, so it's anyone's guess if that stuff is meant to be taken at face value or not. Ironslave fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Dec 4, 2023 |

Despite retreating to their bunkers in Cali the Brotherhood is still at war with NCR and they irradiated the gold reserve. Its entirely possible that an overextended NCR stuck in the Mojave ground war could have lead to a Brotherhood resurgence where they can launch an airship fleet or occupy Navarro.

The West Coast having airships is only canon with Tactics which is a mess of semi canon events at best.

I didn't know in Fallout 4 it was the West Coast Brotherhood that launched the airship. Just worried that Amazon will ignore the fact that BoS in the West is supposed to be in major decline because they are 'the 'cool' factor of Fallout, the most recognizable part of the IP. Of course the games can ignore the show as much as they want, but I wonder if Bethesda will want to, or just go with really bad written story for future installments.

The Prydwen was built at Adams Airforce Base on the East Coast, but captain Kells does mention the Brotherhood using airships in the past as an oblique reference to Fallout Tactics and those airships were sent from the west. The east coast BOS has been in contact with the Brotherhood back home and it is part of the reason that Arthur became elevated to the rank of Elder. They wanted a Maxson in charge.

The source of this information is a propaganda puff piece biography being written by a questgiver on their terminal in their spare time, its accuracy is worth being skeptical of.

Until the show I thought the canon was that the NCR basically expanded up and out but didn't really touch most of LA because it was basically just all rubble and not worth it Not that I expect them to adhere that strongly to canon (I bet Walton Goggins is the only ghoul we see in the entire show lol) but after NV there is also an argument to be made that NCR being in control of an area can either mean 'running water and an active municipal government' or it can mean 'basically still a ruined hellhole but some guy from the military stops by every few months to make you pay taxes'
