They recently released the show Fallout. Priming the masses for thermonuclear war? Or a scare event?
Spoilers: In the show, we find out that the fallout shelter corporation dropped the bombs that started the war because they had a 'fiduciary responsibility' to their investors. There's no profiting from peace time if your business is bomb shelters.
Well that's a major change from the canon story of the games: in the games the Chinese attack came sooner than the Enclave expected and Vault-Tec themselves were caught by surprise and wiped out while their vault experiments ran on their own for years, decades, some even centuries with nobody alive to even see the data being generated.
In the games the vaults were experiments for developing generational ships for colonizing other planets as the ship would need to be a sealed environment for centuries and they needed to test various technologies and social situations first.
Sounds like even less reason for me to bother with the show if they're pissing all over the established canon.
Actually, I've seen plenty deep dive lore videos on the Fallout games. I haven't seen the show but Vaultec starting the war in consistent with the lore. If I recall one of the most damning bits right, there's a Vaulttec logo on the bomb in megaton. There's also hints that the Enclave was also involved and it was a larger part of a space colonization effort for the elite, see Nuka World expansion for that.
I played the games as well and I thought it was actually a good show. The vault experiment thing was covered, but in the show it was actually the rich elites that had presided over which vault ran what experiment as sort of a perk to investing in Vault-Tec. The insider attack was something the main character discovers in the final episode of the season and isn't the official narrative. The elites made sure they were put in cryogenic sleep in their special upper management vault before the bombs were dropped where they awaken one at a time to run things. It was an interesting twist and it could fit in with the canon Fallout universe.
It’s very entertaining in a wild’n wacky way, and the lead characters do a very good job.
I’m a huge fan of the game, and thoroughly enjoyed the show!
