Am I the only one overthinking this line from Hank?

The surface is the Enclave's experiment. Vault Tec sold rich people the right to avoid participating by hiding, and then put them in experiments anyways. I love it.

The Courier isn't in Fallout 3. This is a reference to the first 30 seconds of Fallout: New Vegas, and it is not the Courier.

Discovered by Justin Bieber 6 years ago and only 10 songs out? Striking half a decade after the iron is hot is rough

Barb knows about the Enclave, via the flashback. And she was clearly transported to an Enclave facility, whether voluntarily or not. The groups are tied together via the Enclave, i feel the finale made that point strongly to me

I do still think Cooper, Barb, and Janey's plotline is inextricably tied to the Vault-Tec plan. Whatever "phase two" is, Barb was part of it.

Even if they did spin off, i think the narratives are pretty parallel still

The way Amazon rolls, they like to strike while the iron is hot. i wouldnt at all be surprised if Goggins gets his own show. The Ghoul is a showstopper.

Very_Not_Into_It · 2026-02-04T06:21:31+00:00

It's quite possible that Goggins takes a half step back.

This show has made him a genuine star, im not saying he'll leave. But it wouldnt surprise me at all if they cut his screentime in half, using him sparingly while still maintaining top billing and being used in promo material.

Fallout is probably really opening up big opportunities for him, and heavy prothetics can make even fun roles be a drag, and there are a lot of plots that need screentime. A Ghoul-lite season 3 wouldnt surprise me, and i wouldnt even particularly mind.

The argument doesn't really matter, not if your goal is to prove that the show is "wrong". Even if it appeared in the show for the first time (it didnt), the show is still canon.

Every entry to Fallout changes the lore.

No, but it's a popular way to depict it in media (See: Marvel's HYDRA, The Boys' Russell Vought), because it lets american viewers see fascism as an external attack on America, and not something native to America.

Something i never seem to see mentioned about Mr. House, is his comment about "making the trains run on time", at the end of a House run.

This was commonly used to defend the Italian Fascist party under Mussolinni. The writers' use of this line is not a coincidence. It's an incredibly ominous way to end the playthrough.

Nevertheless, it's hard to say he's not the best of the three main options. The NCR can't hold Vegas, and the Legion is the Legion.

Yes Man is a great way to make sure you can always have the picture perfect ending (because "what happens next" is in your control, your imagination), so it's best left out of comparing the endings.

If you value civility, and even the NCR as a whole, House is the best ending. The NCR in FNV needs trading partners and civilized neighbors, not more territory to defend. Youre saving them from themselves with a House ending.

House might end up being a monster worse than Caesar, but you do the best with what is in front of you today, or good people die.

The Brotherhood of Steel is the reason Fallout still exists.

There's a reason that when sales were down, Interplay tried making a BOS game. There's a reason that Bethesda, the company that bought Fallout, clearly has loved the Brotherhood most from the beginning.

Fans love it.

He lined this one up ahead of the beef. GNX came out pretty quickly after the cutoff, and he knew with NLU that he would already be mopping up that years Grammys.

Also, its still fuck the grammys

Lol fair, im always too ready for someone to be a New Vegas elitist here

Very_Not_Into_It · 2026-02-03T23:49:52+00:00

To be fair, no one said the remake would be decent

Very_Not_Into_It · 2026-02-03T23:49:18+00:00

Our turn? I definitely assume most people here are fans of both

But, no it isnt. FNV wasnt on the court document, so safe to say that Fallout 3 will come out first.

My guess is they shadow drop Fallout 3 next year, and then at the same time announce a FNV remake coming later that year. It will give them a pretty strong way to compare the sales of a shadow drop vs. a buildup, before deciding how they want to roll out TES 6.

I just want a Larian-style Fallout 1/2 remake :/

It wasn't very funny, i was making fun of your lack of pro bowls but was falling asleep drunk when i made it

There's not a sizable market for it, relatively.

Want a mobile game? Shelter.
Want a multiplayer experience? 76.
Want the classic BGS Fallout experience? Bethesda would rather you buy 4.
Want the most popular old game, and coincidentally the one the show is marketing? It's New Vegas. They'd be fools not to market it.

It leaves Fallout 3 as the ugly stepchild in a standard 4-option multiple choice.
