Quick recap for all you filthy normies and tourists.
Fallout TV show came out last week. (It's good actually! 
). According to Bethesda it's fully canon in the fallout universe.
But uh oh! The autists (me 
) got mad because the show heavily implied that a location (NCR Capital in Shady Sands) that is important to the events of Fallout: New Vegas was destroyed in the year 2277. But Fallout New Vegas doesn't happen until 2281. (Again 
)If true this means that the events of Fallout New Vegas could not have occurred as they are depicted in the game. 
But it's all good, Todd the God 
came out today in an interview and established that the location was destroyed after the events of New Vegas; thus the timeline is restored.

Why does a world 200 years after the bombs fell still look like a shithole? Nagasaki is a thriving city right now.

In the games the NCR is depicted as being almost prewar. Everything cleaned up, factories, cars, they dropped all that for the show (that should've been set on the east coast but writercels are too ego laden to not make it about hollywood

I still wish Bethesda just made Van Buren set in Denver.

It's like a billion times easier to shoot in the wastelands right around LA for a trillion reasons regardless of the show, but for a post apocolyptic story that happens to have a lot of it take place in Cali and the Mojave, idk cali is a pretty good place to have it
