In the Fallout show, it's revealed that after the events of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:New Vegas, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Vault-Tec nuked Shady Sands, t﷽he first capital of the New California Republic.

It's left the fate of the NCR unclear, as we know they were already stretched thin and struggling after several battles with raiders, the Fiends, the Great Khans, Caesar's Legion, and the Brotherhood of Steel. Losing their capital could easily have been the killing blow.

No, The Fallout Show Didn't Make New Vegas Non-Canon

The Fallout show🐲 captures New Vegas' heart and soul, and in that sense, the Obsidi♍an game has never been more canon than it is now.

However, Todd Howard assured us that we haven't 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:"heard the last of the NCR", and this is a sentiment that showrunners Graham Wagner and Geneva Rober♋tson-Dworet share.

"One thing I wanted to say in terms of the season one, season two stuff - watching the discourse about Shady Sands and the NCR - I really want to caution people [that] the story isn't over yet, and we really bet on that," Wagner said in an interview with . "There's more to tell."

Why Did They Nuke Shady Sands?

Wagner says that a big reason they decided to wipe out the NCR's capital was to bring the West Coast back to an apocalyptic state.

"A lot of [Westerns] end with the railroad coming through, or a house being built, or they put up a church in the town, or a motorcar appears. And you're like, 'Well, the wild wild west is over.' I think it would have been a mistake to go from the retro-futuristic America to another America that has been fully civilised and the NCR is doing everything great," Wagner explained.

It also ties into the 'war never changes' motto of the series, continuing the neverending cycle as another civilisation is wiped out. But the NCR is resilient and has weathered countless battles, even fighting the Enclave at the Navarro airbase, a group more technologically advanced than even the Brotherhood of Steel. Losing their capital is a setback, but who knows? Maybe they've just been recuperating in the decade since.
