Fallout Dev Units The File Straight On Timeline Controversy

In one of many episodes we go to Vault 4, which hosts a complete bunch of mutants and survivors of a tragedy. We study that a number of them come from the town of Shady Sands, a bustling city within the wasteland, capital of the New California Republic launched again within the first “Fallout” sport. That is the place Maximus was raised, and the place Lucy lived for some time. 

Then the town fell when a Vault-Tec worker, seeing the specter of a flourishing metropolis on the floor not led by Vault-Tec, detonated a nuke that obliterated the complete Shady Sands. The issue appears to stem from a single shot of a chalkboard in Vault 4 that teaches the historical past of the New California Republic. The chalkboard places the autumn of Shady Sands as occurring in 2277, adopted by a drawing of a nuke exploding. 

Followers imagine this overlaps with the video games, as “Fallout: New Vegas” is meant to happen in 2281, and in that sport, Shady Sands is a vibrant and really a lot intact city. This led some “Fallout” followers to say that the “New Vegas” storyline was being retconned out of “Fallout” lore altogether. On condition that “New Vegas” is the one major sport within the franchise not produced by Bethesda Sport Studios, who helped produce the present, it’s affordable to assume they may need to erase the sport from the brand new canon.

Besides, as Bethesda sport designer Emil Pagliarulo mentioned, the sport could be very a lot nonetheless canon. So what occurred to Shady Sands? Nicely, the date might merely be a mistake on the a part of the “Fallout” TV present. Or maybe it’s a intelligent trace that season 2 will present us extra of the decline of Shady Sands.
