    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.

          Same thing with Fallout.

        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.
