This location has been mentioned a few times, but we’ll finally get to visit it in Season 3.
Warning: Spoilers for Fallout Season 2 Episode 8!
With Fallout Season 1 set in California, like the original Fallout game, and Fallout Season 2 set in Nevada, like Fallout: New Vegas, I was sort of expecting Fallout Season 3 to take place in another region we’ve visited before in the games.
Would it be Fallout 3’s Washington D.C.? Maybe Fallout 4’s Boston?
Well, that could still happen, I suppose, but the finale of Fallout Season 2 suggests a few characters would remain in New Vegas, while another would be visiting somewhere new in Fallout Season 3—and it’s a place no Fallout game has ever been set.
In the closing moments of the final episode of Fallout Season 2, The Ghoul finally reaches the end of his main quest… except it’s not the end. He discovers that his missing family are not inside their designated cryotubes in New Vegas after all, a major bummer after he spent 200 years searching for them.
On the bright side, he now knows they’re alive, and his wife Barbara has left him a clue as to where they are: he finds a postcard from Colorado in her cryotube. The season ends (except for an intriguing post-credits sequence with another clue about Fallout Season 3) with The Ghoul walking off to Colorado to find them.
So, what do we know about Colorado in Fallout Lore? The games have never taken us there, though one almost did—and the state has been mentioned a few times, both in games and in the Fallout show.
