>takes place around Los Angeles in 2296 (9 years after Fallout 4)
>Fans of the games should know that everything in the series is officially part of Fallout lore, and Bethesda was careful to make sure the scripts could coexist with previous storylines from the gaming titles. “We view what’s happening in the show as canon,” says Howard. “That’s what’s great, when someone else looks at your work and then translates it in some fashion.” He admits to being envious of some of the TV show’s interpretations and additions: “I sort of looked at it like, ‘Ah, why didn’t we do that?’”

I’ve created the first vats moment in the film
Will stealth archer make an appearance in the show?
nothing after fallout 2 is canon to me
Have you alerted the press? They love human interest stories. I can see it now.
> Local dumbass ignores reality.
You would be famous dude
the reality is that the people involved with 1 and 2 aren't involved with the rest (aside from some NV people)
there was a harsh shift in direction and overall style to the point where post-interplay fallout doesn't even feel like the same franchise
it's the ship of theseus
It's a videogame series, no one gives a shit. Besides anything after fallout 1 isn't canon
At this point 1 and 2 are of dubious canon. I think the TV series will fix those games.
"reality" of what? Interplay went out of business and Bethesda bought the license and made more games? What does that have to do with which ones he bothers acknowledging?
They are both canon no matter what he tells himself. This is a simple statement of fact.
Ditto
I just pretend it's two different series.
series one(trve)
>fallout
>fallout 2
>fallout shelter
>the american krogan mods
Series 2(false)
>fallout 3
>new vegas
>fallout 4
>76
>brotherhood of steel
>brotherhood of steel: tactics advance
I don't know where the show goes yet but I'm thinking a new 3rd series should be created to further separate it.
why's shelter in there?
Because it's true to the fallout vision.
Because he wanted an excuse to slot FNV into "Series 2" because it's popular.
new vegas is just as noncanon as 3 and 4. It being better than them doesn't change the fact it's not a true fallout game.
Fallout, fallout 2, new vegas that's it.
>t. 20 yo zoom zooms
You were still shitting your diapers when the originals came out.
And you're in diapers now, what point are you trying to make?
fallout 1*
>Betheada butchering the only good thing about fallout (the west coast being untouched by their moronation
It's over for fallout
>fallout 1, 2, and nv
>west coast not being touched
The tv series becomes a blatant cash grab just to advertise fallout 76 to a bunch of sex slaves
wasting time on this instead of working on the next fallout game i hate this extended universe cancer marvel made every media franchise go down
I don't think having a writing credit means Todd Howard is personally dedicating himself fully to this show along with his studio.
The main thing preventing Fallout 5 is TES6 + however many years they intend to make starfield DLCs for.
2030 if we're lucky.
Yeah I really want to play Fallout 5 by the devs of Starfield lmao
So how does that tiny ass eyeball work within that skull?
Did Fallot ever have a consistent canon? i always got the idea that every game contradicted the last one in like 100 ways.
It has been inconsistent since 2.
Only real Fallout is the first Fallout anyway. Tactics and New Vegas can be honorary Fallout titles, everything else is just wacky fanfiction that contradicts my headcanon (the only canon that matters).
Nope, only 1 is a gem, the rest are fine games but its never been consistent since and 2 was bogged down being filled with pop culture preening.
I think the only major contradiction is ghouls not needing to eat and drink which is pretty egregious and ruins the moral significance of Necropolis. Everything else people complain about seems to be additions they didn't like rather than retcons.
>I think the only major contradiction is ghouls not needing to eat and drink which is pretty egregious and ruins the moral significance of Necropolis.
Not consistent even in fallout 4, because there is that one BoS initiate who fed feral ghouls.
Yeah they really fricked so much shit up just so they could have a goofy quest about a kid in a fridge. I bet if they had that quest exactly as it was but without the "ghouls don't need to eat part" and just say he rationed the food left in the fridge over time really slowly nobody would care because it's obviously just a joke quest.
this shit will be forgotten and decanonized instantly
dont care for video game adaptations at all but seeing how pissed everyone has been at that one eyed dude has been hilarious
wait you mean OP's pic isn't just a photoshop?
>“The games are about the culture of division and haves and have-nots that, unfortunately, have only gotten more and more acute in this country and around the world over the last decades,” Nolan tells Vanity Fair
The games are about how WAR NEVER CHANGES. This is a total and completely lame (and very 2020s) reading of Fallout
These are some of the most political games there are and have been since the beginning. Inequity and discrimination is a core theme in every title.
They aren't merely about inequality and discrimination, they're far more about war and the cycle of violence. Inequity and division are one among a litany of reasons people kill each other in the games.
>todd howard west coast canon
just end it all
That is the plan. They are going to unfrick the lore once and for all.
/tv/
>Bethesda touching the west coast
It's fricked
>Los Angeles 2296
>Everything looks like a shanty town
>
>BoS not completely wiped out
Gee i really do get a feeling no one on the writing even looked at Fallout 1/2 or NV
Get ready for some major fricking retcons
when every game basically ignores and overwrites the canon of the last one can we even say there is a fricking fallout canon anymore? these are a completely disconnected series of games (and shows now, apparently) that have vague aesthetic connections
"Canon" doesn't exist
That is up to the owner of the IP.
No it isn't
Man reading those Todd quotes, that man was just born to shill, its really remarkable how much he can lie through his teeth.
i'd like to put that fricking midget in a cannon.
Oh. Oh no.
place around Los Angeles in 2296 (9 years after Fallout 4)
ooh, i get it! Basically, the east coast brotherhood led by Maxon has continued its dictator conquering from Fallout 4, and has spread out all the way far west. No doubt, we'll see skirmishes between Bethesda's BoS and NCR, as well as some anecdotes from the og brotherhood of steel.
This is going to be GREAT! You guys are just being downers! Get excited. GET EXCITED NOW!
Todd is a stupid moron, he should have used the show as a soft reboot/retcon point to make the fallout universe take place a few years after the nukes fell not 200 years after, while also curating what to add to canon but instead he does the worst thing possible which is letting canon be decided by tv show (not even movie worthy) scenes, marketed for mass appeal no less. How his dumb ass has managed to stay in a lead position is nothing but a testament to his skills as a charlatan.
I just gave up on Bethesda and the Fallout series. Bethesda clearly doesn't give two shits about the series and just want it to be the most normalgay game series possible. Fallout 4 was a huge disappointment, it was a looter-shooter game with perks, the writing in the games have gone to complete shit and Bethesda just loves shitting on the IP.
Can any anon confirm if 76 is even worth playing? I got it a long time ago and a co-worker really wants to play it together.
>Can any anon confirm if 76 is even worth playing? I got it a long time ago and a co-worker really wants to play it together.
If you didn't like fallout 4 for being a looter shooter than there really isn't anything there for you anyway because it's just a worse version of it. I played it for a bit, I'm suprised they even charge you upfront because it's designed around microtransactions.
The map seemed alright I guess, if the game just had fallout 4 progression instead of this quasi mmo shit I'd probably just have fun exploring. Some vaults and stuff look well realised and distinct. Isn't the brown mess F4 was visually.
But there really isn't much beyond that.
it's gonna be great seeing how they're going to slot in NCR when they are showing BoS in such high capacity
if you liked fallout 4 then it's still the same looter shooter, if you disliked fo4 lore then fo76 is much closer to west coast lore and treads on more familiar territory like FEV experimentation and early BoS. i also quite like the appalachia vibe, as a european its much more relatable than the big coastal city vibes
it makes no sense to show them mobilizing, unless it's a shot from the east coast, and BoS isn't part of the show until ep2-5
Yeah that seems to confirm my fears. My co-worker seems to like the base building part of the game and she was showing me some of her bases that she built and it seems like fun but I just don't like the whole perk system that Fallout 4 introduced.
76 is even more of a looter-shooter with zero RPG elements. They literally had no voiced npcs on launch and needed to patch them in after massive complaints from everyone, including Bethesda fanboys.
I legit thought this character was eyeless when I watched the trailer. My brain just refused to see the mono-eye, and I figured the joke of him getting the moldy coffee cup had to do with him being blind. Wasn't until I someone calling him a cyclops that it clicked.
On topic: I expect the show to be middling to bad. They have some big talent on it and seem to be taking it seriously. I expect it to live and die on it's action scenes.
Come home white man
>Over a decade and still unable to add NPCs
>Meanwhile some russian makes it in a week
I will come home when the homosexual britbong devs behind this game actually decide to do something and stop wasting time by adding in useless updates and turning this game into a farming simulator.
>turning this game into a farming simulator.
Europoors are obsessed with farming sims aren't they?
It's tough.
>Europoors are obsessed with farming sims aren't they?
It's all because they are used to being slaves. For Centuries they were forced to farm dirt for some rich gay and now it's baked into their DNA that they cannot but help to be homosexual dirt farmers like their ancestors.
>so, what should we add next to our zombie survival loot scavenging game?
>more unique zombie types? animals and npc's to fill the world with? special events with said npc's?
>no, we're adding mining and smelting! (a redundant mechanic when you could just salvage things instead)
What the frick are they doing
>>no, we're adding mining and smelting! (a redundant mechanic when you could just salvage things instead)
>What the frick are they doing
That tidbit has already been justified. They want your zombie world to last for 100 years long after everything has been picked clean
Todd wouldn't understand
todd howard can go frick himself
the dude needs to retire, hes got no good ideas anymore, maybe 20 years ago sure, but now he's a fricking has been hack
He never had good ideas. All he ever did was be responsible for the dumbing down of TES and Fallout for the sake of pandering to a wider audience. It wasn't just mechanically either, it's known that he wanted all the weird shit in TES toned down too.
>BREAKING NEWS
>local talking head of company who is collaborating with hollywood is completely on board and endorses hollywood's product
............................................wow
I like how Stephen King whined about adaptations ruining everything then went on to suck Idris Elba's tiny black wiener
So its Bethesda fanfiction, got it.
Frick Todd Howard, the ONLY Fallout canon is Fallout 1 and 2.
Boomers and NVtrannies seething rn cus Todd is touching their sacred cow
