Fallout: The Television Series

Of all the ideas they could have put forth, that was the dumbest.
Why?

War fucking sucks.

Normally decent people can be led into doing awful things in war as it strips you of humanity.

I see no reason that Nate in fallout 4 should have a squeaky clean war record.

And its fucking fallout. This is a version of history where the America thought annexing canada, letting vault tec run free, expermenting with FEV and removing the brains of convicts to put in robo brains to name just a few thing a good idea. Their idea of human rights and morality is fucked up.
Seriously killing a few POW is mundane compared to the shit that went on in fallout even before the bombs droped.

Being the lead Fallout writer for Bethesda is not exactly something for someone to brag about, Fallout 3, 4 and 76 are all examples of generally mediocre writing at best, there is a reason that New Vegas is considered better then any of the Bethesda developed games although I'll admit to still enjoying FO3 and 4 despite their flaws.

But if that is his role then he does have authority to speak on this topic, so I'll accept that as the timeline and just consider the show as having screwed it up. That said, that still doesn't explain what happened to the NCR at The Hub, or in Nevada and Oregon, the organization was literally too big to "decline" to the level it is in the show, especially just from one nuke going off. Also the TV show is still incoherent trash, but that is much less important to me then the game continuity.



If the show is going to use the NCR, they can't just claim that it was a group from one random city that apparently collapsed after one nuke when those are both absolutely incorrect. They either need to acknowledge that they're only talking about the (relative to them) local NCR, or not mention the NCR at all.

Again I realize the show is borderline gibberish when it comes to its writing and the actual writers probably only used the NCR because some Bethesda consultant gave them the name, but its something that effects the larger Fallout Universe outside of their terrible show so I don't want it messed up. Really, Bethesda should have just said the show was an alternate continuity, if it wasn't official canon I could completely ignore it like every other terrible video game adaptation.
Okey dokey ! :techman:
 
Just finished. This was good!
I’m sad the NCR is dead.
It seems like there’s plenty of factions and opportunities to rebuild areas of land people resort to infighting. What happened to Mr House’s plan to put satellites up and interstellar ships?
 
Oh?
Isn’t Hank’s plan to eliminate the factions, and he’s just done with the NCR?
He took out the "first capital." He hardly eliminated the NCR, at least not explicitly shown in the show. Outside of the show:
The production team has confirmed the NCR is not gone
 
Ah, I'm glad to hear that!
Being a fan of the novel series Maddrax too, I've noticed a trend in long-running post-apocalyptic franchises where the writers have to keep sabotaging emerging civilizations in order to maintain the setting.
 
Never played the game but I really enjoyed this series. Damn you, corporations!

I mean, I think it's part of the charm, but also the simple idea that there are larger forces at work ("the man" as it used to be called) keeping people down. I personally find it more interesting to see the steps taken to preserve power.
