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.
Fallout New Vegas canonized choices in Fallout 2. Fallout 2 canonized choices in Fallout 1. This is how all the games have gone. Should New Vegas not exist because it isn't New Reno or Vault City as factions instead of the NCR. Should they not have made Fallout 2 since it invalidates certain choices in Fallout 1?
I don't like the show doing away with the NCR but that is the choices made by the people in charge of the story and I liked the show despite it basically going against 3 games worth of build up and choices I made. At the end of the day, not everything is about me.
