As disgraced (at the least, within the eyes of many) Vault-Tec govt Hank MacLean flees in his pinched Brotherhood of Metal Energy Armor, the digicam pans to indicate New Vegas. Besides, this location will not be as now we have seen it within the sport sequence. The present’s model of New Vegas would not look in fine condition. The truth is, it seems to be in ruins.
Joking “it certain could be unusual if we went off to New York Metropolis after that” teaser, Wagner stated the workforce needed the viewers to know that “issues have occurred” to New Vegas because the occasions of New Vegas the sport (which, canonically, had been 15 years previous to the present). Wagner stated this was to verify there “is not an expectation that we decide the present up in season two, following one of many myriad canon endings that rely in your selections if you play [Fallout: New Vegas]”.
The showrunner stated the Fallout crew “actually needed to indicate, ‘Guys, the world has progressed’, and the concept that the wasteland stays as it’s decade-to-decade is preposterous to us”.

Particularly highlighting that assembly between Vault-Tec executives and numerous different company heads and CEOs (together with Mr. Home – the ruler of New Vegas in Fallout: New Vegas), Wagner stated the workforce “actually intend to increase on that” and people characters.
As for whether or not or not it was certainly Vault-Tec that dropped the primary bomb – one thing that once more was closely implied within the first season – Wagner stated there’s “extra story to inform” there.
“I might simply not deal with something as definitive as a result of, once more, every little thing that we see may be very subjective,” he stated. “That scene occurred. However what happens between then and the precise bombs falling… there’s extra thrilling stuff deliberate between that second and the final second, I assume I ought to say.”
“Yeah. It is perhaps definitive, it won’t be,” Robertson-Dworet added.
However regardless of the Fallout TV crew decides to do with New Vegas sooner or later, the sport’s lead designer Josh Sawyer is not fussed.
Talking with Rock, Paper, Shotgun, Sawyer stated it “may sound bizarre, however no matter occurs with it, I do not care”. The Obsidian exec stated his emotions in direction of the issues he has labored on up to now – be it properties and even characters he has created – is that they are not his.
“I do not personal any of these items. It was by no means mine. And the factor that I made is what I made,” the Fallout: New Vegas developer stated.
“If in a while different folks working within the area do new issues with it and alter it, I am going to possibly have opinions on it, however I do not get hooked up to issues in that approach,” Sawyer continued. “I do not really feel prefer it’s wholesome for me to be actually invested in one thing I’ve no management over, frankly.
“There are issues that I would watch and say, ‘I do not suppose I might have taken this that approach’, after which there are different issues that I believe are actually cool. Nevertheless it’s not my area, it was by no means my factor. I used to be a visitor working in it. So I attempt to hold a degree of distance between myself and the setting.”
