The Fallout collection from Amazon isn’t accomplished teasing followers over the potential canonicity of Obsidian’s beloved New Vegas. After fixed questions on whether or not that recreation even existed within the present’s world (which have been fairly definitively answered by the primary season’s last episode), the second season is gearing as much as carry New Vegas into the fold in an enormous manner. That features revealing that New Vegas’s huge unhealthy, Mr. Home, will play a job. After all, that solely raises extra questions on what’s and isn’t canon.
The information comes from a Selection interview with showrunners and collection creators Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet. Within the video interview, Wagner states that Las Vegas is Robert Home’s city and that Mr. Home “will likely be concerned” within the second season. Robert Home runs New Vegas within the recreation and is an integral a part of any story within the setting. Since New Vegas seems within the last shot of season one, we all know the second season will function the enduring location in an enormous manner. If Mr. Home is concerned, it implies that the present will doubtless must make one explicit ending of New Vegas canon: the one wherein the participant sides with Mr. Home within the battle for the Hoover Dam.
This ending establishes that Mr. Home will proceed to rule New Vegas within the years following the sport, with the town described as a despotic imaginative and prescient of pre-war glory wherein the streets are “orderly, environment friendly, chilly.” Nevertheless, if the present takes the identical storytelling method in season two because it did in season one, there’s an alternative choice. Mr. Home might seem in flashbacks, additional revealing the machinations that led to the apocalypse within the first place. If the present takes the flashback route, it might function Mr. Home whereas persevering with to play coy in regards to the particular occasions of New Vegas to maintain every participant’s ending equally canonical, for now.
Whichever ending of the sport the present chooses to go along with (if any particularly), it nonetheless received’t reply the query of what occurred to New Vegas after the sport. The present takes place 15 years after New Vegas, and in that glimpse we get of it within the first season’s last moments, we see it as a ruined metropolis bereft of its signature lights and splendor. What occurred in these 15 years stays a thriller the second season will doubtless dig into, and whether or not in flashback or not, Mr. Home is certain to play an enormous function in revealing the solutions.
