Fallout fans are scratching their heads over a plot point mentioned in the new hit TV show’s sixth episode – which some say contradicts the game series‘ established lore.
Bethesda director Todd Howard has previously said the Fallout TV show is canon – and set after the events of the games released so far so as not to interfere.
But the TV show’s sixth episode includes a set date for something that happened previously which gets in the way of all that. One final spoiler warning: details of what that is lie below.
As seen in the Fallout TV show’s trailer, released several weeks‘ back, the New California Republic (NCR) capital Shady Sands has been destroyed in a nuclear blast.
The show’s sixth episode dates this event to 2277 – which fans say contradicts the capital being referenced in subsequent games, and what we know of what the NCR forces were up to at the time (fighting the First Battle of Hoover Dam against Caesar’s Legion, according to Fallout: New Vegas).
