Hi.
From where i can download and play fallout shelter online? I found only fallout shelter not online.
So in the show, the 3 vaults are near the LA beach. And it's where Lucy begins her journey. So where the fuck is all of the people and settlements of the boneyard? The boneyard is supposed to be big enough and organized and safe to be a state in the NCR. Yet the only notable area is philly, and only a handful of chuckle fucks are roaming around. You go to othe states in the NCR in Fallout 2, and they are these massive well organized cities like Vault City.
But the only thing notable in the boneyard in the show is a town about the size of Megaton.
Personally, I numbered mine 313
Spoiler warning for the Fallout Show
But look at what somebody posted on this wiki six years ago
This is crazy
Don´t get me wrong, I loved the series. But after seeing how much lore it meddles with got me thinking that there had to have been ways around this. So I've drawn up some alternatives that I may not have backed with enough of the pre-existing lore. I´ll try to make it as lore friendly as I can. Let´s get started.
First, I´d find an entirely different setting than California, but it´d still be close to Nevada so Hank wouldn't have to trek too far to reach New Vegas. I´d pick a place closer to the commonwealth or the capital wasteland, but we all know we want to see the mojave wasteland in live action. Also, it´d scrap the need for an explanation on why the Master didn´t bother with Vaults 31, 32, 33, and 4. In the reimagining, the Fallout Tv series would be taking place in the north part of Wyoming. That way, more ambiguity is left over whether the great khans or the white legs would ever settle down there. Additionally, the Prydwen will not make a cameo so as to leave more ambiguity over the fate of the commonwealth conflict.
Then comes the characters. Since Shady Sands is not destroyed, Maximus´ background will be different. He will still be an NCR citizen, just not one that lived in Shady Sands. Instead, he’ll be the son of a brahmin baron in Wyoming. But he’d be forced to leave when the Legion tore through his town, and he’d be hunted down by legionary recruits. Those recruits would be shot dead by Brotherhood paladins. Thus, cementing a long-term hatred for the NCR for a lack of protection.
The Ghoul would be in the early stages of turning feral, and there would be scenes that highlight this change. I don’t have much else planned for him, but we can agree that an anti-feral drug is kinda stupid.
In favor of breaking the tradition of family members leaving the vault to search for each other, Lucy and Hank will not be related. However, Norm will still be related to Hank. This is done so that there is a rivalry between Norm and Lucy to be considered for a future position as overseer. Lucy will try harder given that she’s not the daughter of Hank, and Norm will hardly try given his father’s status. That means when Lucy leaves the vault, she does so to prove herself to her fellow dwellers. And when Moldaver reveals Hank’s secrets, Lucy will be crushed by the fact that the man that inspired her conspired to bring about the apocalypse. Additionally, Norm would want to follow Lucy, but Rose (she’s alive in this reimagining) will keep him in the vault for fear of losing him to the wasteland as well.
Wilzig, instead of being an Enclave scientist would be a scribe for the West-coast Brotherhood who despises their hoarding of technology instead of using it to benefit others. So cold fusion is instead crafted in a BOS bunker, making Wilzig´s and Dogmeat´s eventual escape more complicated. Wilzig could make the laser turrets turn on the BOS members like in New Vegas. I make this change because it makes no sense for the Enclave to not send anyone after Wilzig despite their increased numbers and instead get the Brotherhood to do it. This way, the fight over cold fusion between the BOS and the NCR has more impact.
The company meeting that Barb and Bud hosted in the finale would be replaced by a meeting with what the Enclave was in pre-war times. The decision to nuke the world would make more sense given the Enclave’s beliefs and the resource wars. However, Mr. House would still get to make a cameo but it’d be a bit different. Frederick Sincliar wouldn’t get that botched cameo, it’s too inconsistent with who he was in the games. Anyways, in the reimagining, House would reach out to Cooper Howard and convince him to spy on his wife given her position with vault-tec. Once the wham line is pulled, he’ll hang up on Cooper and begin preparations for preserving Las Vegas.
Which leads us to New Vegas not being destroyed and the end credits not highlighting the devastation. Basically, I´m writing this because the lack of answers for the lore changes is screwing me big time. Maybe John Nolan and Bethesda have good reasons for these canon changes, maybe they don´t. And maybe this reimagining would appeal more to veteran fallout fans instead of newcomers, which could´ve limited it´s success. That´s my two cents.

I’ll go first: “Ain’t That a Skibidi in the Toilet?” by DeanShowSpeed
personally, mines "heartaches by the number" from fnv
We got 20 more years until Nuka Cola is invented in the Fallout universe.
Someone should actually do this.
Yes, WITH the evil corporate schemes.
Do I detect the minuteman radio in episode 7 of the show as Thaddeus wanders through SoCal looking for Maximus?
It’s super inaccurate it doesn’t crash every five seconds
Bethesda you can do better
This is not a post about it's story role, more so about the artistic, visual representation of the town as it was shown in the Fallout TV Show and what your thoughts on it was. We do see a brief flashback of it in its prime but if you include the outro credits and the chalkboard we see a lot of what the town had to offer.
Shady Sands had:
- Functioning Tramlines
- Clean Water
- Courthouse
- Government Building
- Elementary School
- Public Library
- Ancient Well (From Fallout 1)
- Inscribed Obelisk (From Fallout 1)
- Cornfields
Overall, what did you think of the aesthetic? Did you like the look of the NCR Capital or did you wish it was different?
Where on earth is the brotherhoods massive arsenal of laser weaponry in the tv show? they should have enough weapons to launch a full offensive and yet they can only equip their troops with ballistic weapon's. Is it a lore issue or just budget for the show itself.

If I don't see someone get shot and every limb explode off like in the game then I'm going to be disappointed
