Summary

He also says that this is now the first time Fallout's lore has changed.

Fallout creator Tim Cain has shared another video about the recent TV adaptation, going into further detail on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the topic of lore changes. Here, Cain goes after fans attacking and harassing writers and actors over changes made in the Fallout show, as some still believe that it's made aspects of the older games non-canon.

After discussing these examples, he highlights that these critiques can be made without restoring to personal attacks, taking aim at the way some꧙ Fallout fans have been conducting themselves recently.

Tim Cain On "Lore Drifts"

"Notice I never did a personal attack?" says Cain, referring to the way he critiques pieces of media for making lore drifts. "Notice I never said, 'God, that showrunner, that director, they were idiots'. No."

He continues: "So when I see people online do that, if it's a comment, I stop reading. If it's a video, I just click it off. Because guess what? Once they do that, it's obvious that they're very immature. So to me, their arguments now don't mean anything. It's just somebody whining online. I think they need a nap."

Cain then goes over some examples of the Fallout lore changing in the past, specifically in relation to the ghouls. He explains that ghouls were never necessarily supposed to be a long-lived race, but now, the concept of a pre-war ghoul is completely accepted by fans. He also brings up how it was initially established that ghouls needed water to survive, just like humans, but by 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fallout 4, this is no longer the case.

Spoilers for Amazon on Prime Video ahead.

The main controversy with the Fallout show is related to its timeline of events. Towards the end of the first season, we find out that Shady Sands has been destroyed. Later on, we're told that the "fall of Shady Sands" started in 2277, which many fans interpreted as being the year it was bombed out of existence. However, in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fallout: New Vegas - set in 2281 - Shady Sands is mentioned a few times, so fans feared that the show had overwritten the game. Todd Howarꦬd has since confirmed that this is not the case and that New Vegas is still considered canon.

Another issue that some fans had with the show is that it seemingly revealed that Vault-Tec started tꩲhe Great🐼 War. At the very least, it makes it clear they were prepared to. However, 1📖68澳洲幸运5开奖网:ꦛthe showrunners have since walked this back, saying that the first season doesn't actually tell us who dropped the first bomb after all. Presumably, this means someone beat Vault-Tec to the punch.
