Just finished the season. Spoilers ahead so fair warning. Pedictive programming contained nukes, cannibalism, elites, and cults.
Background: Nukes are dropped. Some citizens evacuate cities to fallout shelters created by a corporation called Vault tec, to escape, live, and re-populate the earth.
Take a guess who strategizes dropping the nukes and for what reasons. All reasons we here are familiar with. Interesting the faction exposing the truth behind the lie is called New California Republic. New California also trying to recover cold fusion tech.
Edit: i never played the game so I don't know how much the series story jives with the in-game story.
games are made by the same folks(bethesda) that do the elderscrolls series. gameplay is simular
Bethesda made 3, 4 and 76. New Vegas was made by the folks who made 1 and 2 and only published by Bethesda.
Obsidian
ah ok, got it. i was more of a metro guy because they also did the s.t.a.l.k.e.r. series
addendum. i say bethesda cause the game play was simular between oblivion & the 1st fallout, & they both came out about the same time. but ultimately didnt care for fallout and i had instaled the elderscrolls construction set & was making mods
Starting with 3 the gameplay is similar because it's the same game engine as Oblivion.
i am anxiously awaiting S.T.A.L.K.E.R.2 but imma gonna need a 2nd job to build a decent gaming pc to play it
