An OG timeline (FO1, FO2, Tactics, and FNV) and a Bethesda timeline (all the games/shows they made). I don't know why Bethesda didn't do this when they got the rights. It would make things easier for them. Due not having fans talk about how Bethesda broke the lore. Will, if they don't broke their lore. But you got my point.

EDIT About New Vegas. Bethesda didn't make it, but they did published it. So what timeline it belongs in? The reason I put it in the OG timeline. Because it being more similar with the OG games then Bethesda ones. But the show throws an monkey wrench into things. I guess New Vegas can be in both timelines.

EDIT 2 Both timelines can have the same factions, creatures so on. But the OG games are still canon in it's timeline. So everyone can be happy.

Apologies in advance if this is the wrong community.

I’ve just returned to the game for the first time since 2017 after downloading the next-gen update. I’m a bit of a “trophy hunter”, but I’m also intrigued by mods and quick codes for the Bethesda games (I was a Skyrim fanatic). Will mods or “cheats” impact my ability to earn trophies?

If so, I’ll wait until I have the platinum and then try it.

Anybody know where I might be able to find some prints of the art in Fallout? Would love to find the top two on the left. I pulled the screen shot from The Art of Fallout 4

Just started playing it this morning on my PS5. I’m perpetually frustrated by Bethesdas snail like pace when it comes to this type of thing but the update seems excellent so far.

It’s running at a buttery smooth 120 FPS in quality mode with VRR on. I thought for sure their performance mode would be limited to 60 FPS so this is amazing.

Edit: apparently quality mode is a 40 FPS target internally with VRR enabled. Performance mode is 60 FPS as expected. So it’s doing frame multiplying to boost it up to 120. Still feels and looks incredible though. Quality mode is native 4K with ultra settings and looks crispy as fuck.

I got hyped by the TV series so I will play the game for the first time (yes, I know, it took this long). I usually prefer to buy GOG version of a game but I saw the rating of FO4 GOG at 3.9/5. Why is that? I have read somewhere that there is technical issue of some sort which includes modding for GOG version? I expected higher gamer rating for FO4 in GOG but a lower rating typically indicates for me some genuine issues.

Edit: also the GOG Version says it does not include the Creation Club. What is it and is it in some way better than using Nexus mods?

We're heading to New Vegas in Season 2, and this is the only character I really would like to see resurface, mostly because Yes Man saved me from never finishing New Vegas. I was starting to get bored with the plot and Yes Man brought me back in.

Dave Foley killed as it Yes Man, and I would love to see him back in the role. I was a big fan of Foley from Kids in the Hall/News Radio days, and I was overjoyed when I ran into Yes Man and recognized his voice. Dave Foley has exactly the kind of absurd cheery demeanor a character like Yes Man needs.

Further, I'm going to assume the Courier/Yes Man taking over the Strip ending of New Vegas probably isn't canon, it means there's ample opportunity potentially for Yes Man to continue being the best Yes Man that he is.

Hell, I'd love to see any of the Kids in the Hall in Season 2, honestly. Kevin McDonald keeps looking weirder every fucking year, he would fit in with wastelanders. Hell, the new Kids in the Hall season was an Amazon Prime show, and both Kevin and Dave went full frontal nudity with their weird old bodies. They're the right kind of fit for the wasteland.

I would also think Foley's "Doomsday DJ" sketch is a great example of why they need him in Season 2 of Fallout.

Ranking by themes, enjoyment, and how well these builds are actualized, what general build is most fun in each game? An ideal case, "fun maximized" run. What are your thoughts?

In the sixth episode of the show, we found out about Shady Sands' fall in 2277. Four years before New Vegas starts. This retcons New Vegas. No one in the NCR talks about how their capital got nuked in NV. In the quest You'll Know It When It Happens, the president of the New California Republic visits the Hoover Dam. Why would the president visit the dam after the capital got attacked? Hell, why is the NCR still in the Mojave Wasteland? It doesn't make sense. So yes the show does retcons New Vegas.

Hello all! I’m currently watching episode 5 of the Fallout Tv show. No big spoilers in this post so it’s ok to keep reading if you haven’t got this far. In this episode Norm claims he was planting Tatos from what I know these didn’t exist until after the war so is this just a lore mix up or has the vault traded with the outside world before?

The show is apparently canon. It's not like the All Roads comic, Fallout Tactics, or the Fallout Bible where it's considered flavor materials and only elements of it are later added to the canon.

"We view what’s happening in the show as canon," Bethesda director Todd Howard told Vanity Fair. "That's what's great, when someone else looks at your work and then translates it in some fashion."

The show takes place in 2296 making it the furthest along we've seen the world of Fallout so it might gives us some leads on canon endings of Fallout 3, NV, and 4.

I've only watched through the show once but I am wondering what you felt were significant additions to the canon or lore of Fallout?

Here's some stuff I thought of:

• We knew there were Vault-Tec brand vaults in Canada following the annexation because of letters found in mailboxes outside of Vault 101 in Fallout 3 but a lot of people assumed this would be limited to major cities. Some people believed the settlement to the north mentioned in The Pitt DLC was a reference to Toronto and thought there might be a vault there. The map in one of the latter episodes seems to suggest there are a lot more vaults up there than people thought.

• I feel like there were enough references to the situation the Brotherhood of Steel is currently in with the early episodes to suggest what happened to them in the non-isometric games but I'd need to rewatch it to dig deeper. I don't know if there are mentions of their command structure or the Mojave chapter. Either would likely be a giveaway. I don't think the destruction of the Prydwen in Fallout 4 is out of the question. In Fallout 4 Captain Kells talks about the prior construction of airships on the West coast and Scribe Rothchild from Fallout NV mentions a rogue detachment of the Brotherhood of Steel that might be able to fill emerging power vacuums.

• Even with Shady Sands gone I feel like the NCR might still exist elsewhere. The population of the NCR according to a holotape in Fallout 2 is around 700,000 and with around 30,000 people in Shady Sands I feel like that means there were a lot of people outside this region. Unless this is being retconned. The whiteboard in the show, if I recall correctly, had a note that said the fall of Shady Sands was in 2277 which would have put it during Fallout 3 and before Fallout NV.

• I think it has finally been confirmed that Vault-Tec kicked off the nuclear war in some way like the cancelled Fallout film from back in the day originally wanted.

• New Vegas might may have been destroyed. It looks like it isn't lit up and the buildings have been further damaged.

My kids and I watched the first two episodes last night, and I'm impressed. It feels like Fallout. I like the characters so far, and they squeeze in enough game references to keep my brain spiking with recognition.

We set the bar pretty low on video game adaptations, but I feel this one's doing alright so far!

What does everyone else think? (Let's keep spoilers to a minimum. Most of us probably weren't able to watch the whole thing in one night.)

My major gripe with fo4 was always that you had to micromanage your inventory, and it was mentally taxing to me to have to constantly bring my inventory under the limit. I pretty much gave up on the game for the past 5 years, and just recently tried the game again, this time with mods. The game is super fun now! Why game devs implement inventory management, I don't know. May be it's fun for everybody else, but I absolutely hate it.
