It was also kind of badass getting a better look at the annexation of Canada from a civilian POV. I feel like despite it being the first bit of lore you encounter upon booting up Fallout 1, it's something that hasn't been properly explored.

I came buckets when it came to the Canada scenes and that 2070s era Mountie in the end credits.

Also so much for not confirming an ending, an NCR victory at Hoover Dam is all but confirmed at this point.

An ending had to be confirmed idk why they did all this talk about respecting endings and player choice

Honestly, I wouldn't mind it if Fallout 5 took place on the boarder in Detroit or somewhere like that. I think the searching for terminal entries and audio logs gameplay loop would feel less stale if they were primarily about the final days of the conflict between the US and the Canadian resistance instead of another eight million entries about how much working overtime sucks and government coverups of chemical spills and shit.

As for the ending thing, I wish they'd gone the route of either saying wait and see or posting animated versions of the canon NV end cards as promo material instead of acting like there was no canon ending.

Anyway, I'm willing to bet that the show will end with the NCR being rebuilt and the wasteland returning to a post-NCR ending status quo and we'll retread them stretching themselves too thin by expanding eastwards in Fallout 5.

I think they show might be doing some variant of a Independent New Vegas and NCR alliance ending, Season 1 seemed to heavily imply Vegas was under NCR control given the presence of NCR troops and equipment on the strip, but now the NCR doesn't have any remaining presence on the strip or Freeside outside of the memories of it's residents.

I was mildly annoyed at the T-45 appearance, since I find it hard to believe a USMC Power Armor equipped Soldier would be on standby for hunting down escaped Canadian Prisoners.

A fallout 5 set in a border city where canada is 1/3rd or half the map would be a dream come true for me.

Apparently Johnathan Nolan said in an interview that if he was pressed for which ending was canon he said yes man which explains a lot of season 2's choices with our own choices

Nah man he called them hosers which clearly shows the camps hold prisoners dangerous enough that the USMC would be here

bethesda fallout can really take place anywhere, its not like they did too much with boston or WV and the big deal with DC was the metro and monuments, but it was really the only time they seemed to "try" and the only real gripes are timeline bullshit,

in terms of story telling its the most open ended.

I'm going to wait until next week before sperging about the president becoming a Super Mutant just in case the show actually explains what happened there since iirc there was no FEV on Control Station Enclave until around 200 years post war when they started making the modified FEV strain to purge the world of the irradiated masses in FO2.

It turns out I'm retarded and that Clancy Brown and Ron Perlman look way more alike than I'd ever noticed before.

The ones that are worth bothering with are all on GoG anyways.
Yes, including Tactics and 4, even FOLON if you hate the Boston backdrop for whatever schizophrenic modlist you cook up for 4. More compatible with mods than the Steam versions as well.
Up until recently and still is for non-win10 systems it was the only version of 3 that worked out of the box without, y'know, literally still coming out of a box.
Looks like the discounts are better on Steam, though, so i guess if one is strapped for cash it's a good way to go.
 
Current copium on plebbit is that the Bos(s) Nigger is gonna keep the NCR Ranger Power Armor and rebuild the NCR, lol

People are coping so hard. It was like watching die hard Assad supporters coping that in the next few days SECRET PARATROOPERS will descend down into Damascus any minute now and kill al-Jolani! Lol

So what was the creative reason for why the NCR had to die? Was it just Todd wanting to destroy all pre-Bethesda lore so he can do whatever he wants in Fallout 5?
Also, what are the chances the writers will try to shoehorn in the Enclave so they can be Le Ebil Badguys once again, due to them being lazy hacks?

Maybe the idea was just to "halt" the progress of the West Coast? Because if Season 2 ends with Mr. House and the NCR rebuilding (and I guess the Legion also rebuilding or getting killed off to own the chuds) they will still be set back 20+ years of progress so by the time Season 3 or Fallout 5 comes out and its set in the 2300s or whatever, the West Coast is set back by decades and still looks no different from FNV (2281).

There is a lot of copium that Maximus was actually a Shady Sands nuke survivor (I forgot about his backstory tbh) and him wearing the NCR Power Armor is symbolic of him returning to his roots since technically he was originally an NCR citizen, then there is all the talk of how much of a 'Great Leader' he is.

This isn't copium, that is literally his backstory, he survived the Shady Sands nuke in a Fridge and got found and rescued by a Brotherhood of Steel Knight.

Damn, I forgot about the retarded "saved by a fridge" part lol. But yeah they might be setting up for some weird compromise cop-out at the end of the Season.

Especially since they really did play up the NCR Power Armor as something triumphant and almost like an 'apology' for having their pet OC Ghoul character buck break a Ranger in Season 1.

Then also Lucy defending the NCR when pet Gary Stu main villain Hank says "well NCR is as bad as Legion" and shes like "nooo Legion are heckin' chudarinos"

If that were the thought process than people in charge of writing failed to notice one small thing during NV.
You know the whole thing about NCR standing on its last leg and desperatly trying to hold itself together from balcanization. Im sure vault city would want to escape the NCR clutches especially them involved in semi proxy war during Fallout 2.
The point is that NCR wasnt strong. It was just recently in a nosedive with 1 really shitty president and trying to recover as best as they can. There were a dozen writing opportunies to what to do eith NCR and show writers picked the most retarded one.
