This show is so devoid of logic, consistency, and quality that I get burned out trying to make sense of any of it. Discussing it for what it is feels like putting my brain in a lathe. I can justify Fallout 76’s atom shop more than I can justify this show, even if this was a separate “canon” from...

Just replayed the DLC, still don't get Ulysses' logic regarding Hopeville and Ashton becoming a new nation somehow (brutha the NCR and Legion were already fighting over it!!).

Well if you follow all DLCs in release order, then after Old World Blues you get a notification from Ulysses presumably hacking into your Pip-Boy with coordinates for the Canyon Wreckage, so I think it’s safe to say after hearing so much about this other Courier, Lonesome Road can be started...

Now this is what I’ve been waiting for. Glad they didn’t leave it at EFAP garbage.

Getting kidnapped doesn’t mean the chronology is ambiguous, Dead Money logically precedes Old World Blues and Lonesome Road. Honest Hearts seems to be the only one that could be anytime.

I think they have a pretty damn good chance. In the Legion run, the NCR loses their President, General, and some of their top strategists like Hanlon. We also see the Legion has infiltrated the NCR through operatives like Ronald Curtis, so seeds are already planted. The Mojave essentially...

I'm merely speculating with no proof at all, but I do feel like the DLCs were planned to be post-game expansions.

Yeah it is a very weird problem. The way I personally justify it via roleplay is that the Courier is focused on answers from Benny and only that at first. Kills him or let's him go, but isn't interested in the politics. After which he just explores and does side content, getting more involved...

Conversely, my Florida setting was heavily nuked by Soviet/Chinese aligned Cuba due to its proximity and resulted in a majority of the coastland where large cities were located wiped out, extending the Everglades into the ruins of towns and cities. Sounds fun, I like the idea of a Ghoul CIA...

Very nice, what's going down in Tampa? Pretty early, around the same time as Fallout 76, so that's interesting. Was there a reason for this? A more post-apocalyptic story perhaps? Similarly, my Florida setting is 60 years after the bombs so I can tell a more post-apocalyptic setting that...

In Fallout: New Vegas, the four DLC expansions take the Courier on pretty hefty detours from the base story. The first half of Fallout: New Vegas as I see it, the Courier is after Benny for answers and revenge with the latter half after the confrontation being sucked into the political sphere...

Fallout - 2023 Fallout 2 - 2023 Fallout: Tactics - 2023 Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel - Never, and never will Fallout 3 - 2020 (I think?) Fallout: New Vegas - 2024 (Currently playing, level 50, Kimball's about to arrive, but I detoured to play all DLCs beforehand in release order, currently on...

Same here, it just lines up perfectly, Arcade even spiels to you about him if he's in your party when you take the Vault 22 gig.

Fallout 76 genuinely has some interesting NEW factions they could’ve touched on too. The Free States are conceptually pretty cool and yet they’ve done fuck all with them. Gotta have that BOS I guess.

Vault-Tec as a villain is fine, and would make sense if given a fleshed out reason I don’t deny that. But I like the idea of post-war corporations taking Vault-Tec’s place which New Vegas seems to show us companies like Crimson Caravan is on track to do. If we’re talking about foreign insertion...

That was the original* Appalachian Brotherhood’s origin. Then with the Steel Dawn/Steel Reign update to the game, they decided not to resurrect the Appalachian Brotherhood like they did the Responders, but rather have BOS from California trek all the way to Appalachia to “restore order.”

It was definitely more of a subtle hodgepodge of 1940s architecture, 1950s fashion and products, 1980s technology, and 1990s grunginess, but the 1950s style most definitely took precedent.

This happens on two accounts and it’s hilariously far fetched each time. Fallout 3’s East Coast pilgrimage was during their war with the NCR back home where they’d need their members more than ever and then with Fallout 76’s Appalachian pilgrimage in a time where the BOS should be a handful of...

I guess so, but Fallout 1 already had the master race angle going for it, I’d have preferred if the Enclave were more subtle with their plans.

Inserting the Enclave around the country is indeed a retcon, but not the most egregious one, and had Bethesda only inserted them on the East Coast rather than basically everything from the originals I wouldn't complain too much. New Vegas doubled down on Fallout 3’s inclusion of Enclave bases...
