Idk I kind of wanted a clean slate since its been so long. I'd rather the writers of the main medium be free creatively and tie in properties can worry about tying in. I do get what you are saying though. And to add to that, I wouldn't mind seeing like The Ghouls hat somewhere. But I can't say I'd be excited if the show characters themselves were also featured and voiced in the game. I wouldnt write it off for that but it wouldnt excite me.
He didn't say anything about reusing characters from the show at all. The article merely imparted that the show is part of the game universe and will see the same treatment that past Fallout games have gotten. IE, the events of the game happened (with canon choices) and will probably be referenced in future games.
Except the show fucks up our choices in New Vegas and doesnt leave it up to us anymore.
Does it really bother people that there's a Canon ending to a game with multiple choices? Certainly doesn't bother me. Of course they're going to have to pick a cannon ending eventually if they want to keep making more games.
They dont have to. They could make these games take place anywhere in the world far away from the strip. But as another user replied to me, they want the money because an exec thinks Fallout show popular so we'll say its around that.
It's like getting upset over the free choice in Knights of The Old Republic. It's a story that technically by movie POV, should have already happened exactly as it did in the history books, yet in-game we can do whatever the hell we want, up to killing pretty much whoever we want and just running purely dark side. Technically, we shouldn't be able to make our own choices and it should be a very linear game; but that's not what the developers wanted to do.
Same thing with Fallout.
