Idk I kind of wanted a clean slate since its been so long. I’d rather the writers of the main medium be free creatively and tie in properties can worry about tying in. I do get what you are saying though. And to add to that, I wouldn’t mind seeing like The Ghouls hat somewhere. But I can’t say I’d be excited if the show characters themselves were also featured and voiced in the game. I wouldnt write it off for that but it wouldnt excite me.
He didn’t say anything about reusing characters from the show at all. The article merely imparted that the show is part of the game universe and will see the same treatment that past Fallout games have gotten. IE, the events of the game happened (with canon choices) and will probably be referenced in future games.
Does it really bother people that there’s a Canon ending to a game with multiple choices? Certainly doesn’t bother me. Of course they’re going to have to pick a cannon ending eventually if they want to keep making more games.
They dont have to. They could make these games take place anywhere in the world far away from the strip. But as another user replied to me, they want the money because an exec thinks Fallout show popular so we’ll say its around that.
It’s like getting upset over the free choice in Knights of The Old Republic. It’s a story that technically by movie POV, should have already happened exactly as it did in the history books, yet in-game we can do whatever the hell we want, up to killing pretty much whoever we want and just running purely dark side. Technically, we shouldn’t be able to make our own choices and it should be a very linear game; but that’s not what the developers wanted to do.
Fallout New Vegas canonized choices in Fallout 2. Fallout 2 canonized choices in Fallout 1. This is how all the games have gone. Should New Vegas not exist because it isn’t New Reno or Vault City as factions instead of the NCR. Should they not have made Fallout 2 since it invalidates certain choices in Fallout 1?
I don’t like the show doing away with the NCR but that is the choices made by the people in charge of the story and I liked the show despite it basically going against 3 games worth of build up and choices I made. At the end of the day, not everything is about me.
Listen, fallout always has winks to other fallout games. Sometimes a character from an old game has a side quest in the new one. Sometimes you are the descendant of your original character. The fucking shit I was saying was the setting needs to be fresh, and any inclusions of other fallout games should be kept to the traditional minimum and not be the focus. Thats what the fuck I meant. You intentionally missing my point so you can be angry is on you. But I already said I’m disengaging so I’m gonna follow my instance rules and not respond since you dont want to have a good faith discussion you want to hurl insults.
Why not?
Seriously, when we want shows/movies to connect to games, why do people get mad when it’s reciprocal?

Except the show fucks up our choices in New Vegas and doesnt leave it up to us anymore.

Same thing with Fallout.

So you want the new Fallout game…
To not be a fallout game?
How many have you even played? They’ve all referenced each other, and even FO1 referenced Wasteland.
The series has quite literally never in its entire existence been a “clean slate”
Yeah you know thats not what I meant at all. I’m disengaging.
So…
You didn’t learn anything at all, and are gonna stay ignorant and upset.
Weird choice, but you do you I guess.

You should have done that I guess…
They said… In their response…
No one did that, you might have replied to the wrong person
