Will the "ENCLAVE ARE TRUMP SUPPORTERS GUISE!" from frontier become canon?

No way. Since the tv series takes place on the West Coast you think the feminist writers are going to pass up having their "stronk female lead" go up against the Legion and "smash the patriarchy"? The Legion are going to be fucking comical allegories for what the feminist writers think Trump supporters are and Caesar will be a stand in for Trump. Also, every legionary will be a white man as only white men would be a part of the evil faction.

Also, the ego of Todd Howard to steal credit from Tim Cain over the creation of Fallout. The absolute state of Todd's ego and jealously over New Vegas being more beloved then any of his slops he calls Fallout games. The only reason this series takes place on the West Cost is so Todd Howard and Pete Hines can give a massive middle finger to the original Fallout creators, their fans and retcon the series into their image. This series is going to show you the new direction that Bethesda has for Fallout and it is going to be awful. You thought Starslop was bad? This is going to be worse.

If the rumors about the show is true, it's going to go over real well in a world where a lot of people love New Vegas and the old setup of the story of the games. Just seems like more fuel to add to the never ending fire that is the argument between "Bethesda ruined or never understood Fallout" and "Bethesda saved Fallout or made it better".

Holy shit, this is the worst way they could ever adapt this area. A big part of why people like New Vegas (and the OG fallout games) is that the world developed. Even fallout 1 had a major accepted commodity backed currency with a well developed economy behind it and a largely settled and even literate populace. It was Mad Max and shitty but you could feasibly live there without too much chaotic bullshit. Looking at the timeline for the southwest USA is actually rather uplifting because it gets post-post apocalyptic pretty fast and you end up with full fledged empires and nation states by the time of fallout 2 let alone new Vegas, which is something that gave the world tons of character. So seeing this bullshit, "humanity descended into a chaotic age of man eats man" in a place that's supposed to be a thriving metropolis is beyond aggravating.

A better Fallout adaption was made before Fallout was even made.

The subhuman "writers" are unable to create story related politics. Everything has to be about current day garbage. That means people have to watch the billionth version of Orange Man Racist Nazi Hitler trash.

Todd wishes he could have that organic level of critical acclaim New Vegas had. You notice it on Steam whenever they promote the "Fallout trilogy", that New Vegas is mysteriously absent.

Though I will say that at least as a game developer Todd had a vague idea of where the source material comes from and at least sort of loosely based his design choices from that while he was adding his own ideas. But these new writers are absolutely going to add in whatever crazy bullshit they want because they probably never even heard of what Fallout was before they were hired to produce this show. If you thought post war Jet was bad you're about to see some serious shit.

Even though New Vegas is fallout 3 to me, it is technically a spin-off so it's not in there for the same reason tactics and 76 aren't.

Mr. House will unfortunately been in the show.

No doubt he is going to be the Elon Musk stand in for the feminist writers if they can't have the Legion this season be their Trump stand ins. I can already picture it. House will be oppressing the poor innocent trannies or tranny allegories from ~~grooming and raping children~~ living their lives peacefully and the white female self insert savior will come in and save the trannies or tranny allegories with the power of girl boss while putting House in his place and telling him; "Transwomen are women!' , and "Love is love!". I'm sorry but these feminist writers are just so predicable that the jokes write themselves.

Why would a Chinese-owned company like Amazon make a television series about a video game where China causes a nuclear war?

I think the lore does like it open, maybe Red China, maybe Vault-Tec?

No, Bethesda retconned it in Mothershit Zeta where it was aliens who caused the Great War. I am not making that up. Todd Howard and Emil What's His Name thought that would be a better explanation and a way to get around Chinese censors so they can sell their games in China.

Trailer just dropped lmao

I'm not even sure what I saw here.

It's clearly in the Boneyard (Los Angeles), but there is no development so it has to be either pre- or post-NCR? If it's pre-NCR, then the Vertibirds and T-51s make since. If it's post, then the Enclave is supposed to have been destroyed, so wtf?

That dog dinosaur thing that pops out of the floorboards is cool. Gotta love oldschool practical effects.

Maybe that's why the ghoul character doesn't look like the flesh-rotting fiends we see in the games. The Chinese don't like that shit.

How the fuck did a mutant cyclops get into a vault?

This has Resident Evil: Brown Movie all over it. Same lighting, same writing, all shit.

I'm guessing it isn't going to take place within the actual game continuity and is going to be its own retarded version of the game world. It's gonna be just like any other vidya adaptation that isn't Sonic or Mario.

Todd has said that it's canon to the games. We'll see how long this lasts.

And it makes Street Fighter Legend of Chun-Li, Tomb Raider 2018, Doom Annihilation and Resident Evil Welcome to Raccoon City look like works of Hitchcock by comparison

This is what I'm worried about. I was always afraid that Bethesda's take on the west would be that the NCR is pure good with no drawbacks while the Legion are misogyny strawmen who just kills for teh lulz. Or it will be the other way around where every single member of the NCR including the young privates are mustache-twirling puppy-kicking supervillains while the Legion are misunderstood "anti-heroes" who've had their whole slavery thing retconned out of existence.
