Fallout Creator Calls Out Personal Attacks Against Show Writers
27.04.2024 - 00:37 / thegamer.com / Todd Howard / Tim Cain
Fallout creator Tim Cain has shared another video about the recent TV adaptation, going into further detail on 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.
In the video, Cain shares his thoughts on other franchises that have made changes to their established lore over the years. After discussing these examples, he highlights that these critiques can be made without restoring to personal attacks, taking aim at the way some Fallout fans have been conducting themselves recently.
"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 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 Fallout: New Vegas - set in 2281 - Shady Sands is mentioned a few times, so fans feared that the show had overwritten the game. Todd Howard 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 the Great War. At the very least, it makes it clear they were prepared to. However, the 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.

Fallout's Permanent Setting Officially Confirmed (& Some Fans Won't Be Happy)
The universe has begun a pretty significant expansion with the release of the hit TV adaptation released on Prime Video. There are more than 100 vaults located across the U.S., each of them holding a different horrific experiment inside — but longtime fans have pondered about what life outside of the U.S. must look like. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem as though Bethesda plans to give us any answers.

The Elder Scrolls, Fallout Dev Wants to Shorten Time Between Games | Push Square
Skyrim was 2011. Fallout 4 was 2015. Starfield was 2023. Development cycles are growing longer all across the industry, but for Bethesda in particular, it's felt like the company has really struggled to create a consistent pipeline — especially in the last decade or so. This is even more apparent when you factor in projects like The Elder Scrolls 6, which was barely a concept when it was first announced in 2018.

Todd Howard Says Fallout: New Vegas Is "Very Important" To Bethesda
Back when the Fallout show first hit our TV screens, you couldn't move online due to the sheer number of New Vegas fans that had made it halfway through the show before announcing that it had somehow disrespected the game by making changes to the lore. Many claimed that it had somehow removed New Vegas from Fallout canon (it didn't) and that Todd Howard was secretly the mastermind behind the change, all in an effort to get back at developer Obsidian Entertainment for making a good Fallout game.
