I was recently told by a Bethesda fan (aka the only Fallouts they like are 3, 4, and 76 not even NV) that Bethesda is just fixing the plotholes that existed from the games.
* I am a bit late with this *
What holes was this person speaking about? That there was no significant mentioned activity of the Brotherhood of Steel between establishing their base at Lost Hills and Fallout 1?
There is indeed a big gap between these events but there is no hole. If anything suggesting that the BOS had access to a satellite and used it to contact other military survivors to form chapters across the US creates a hole.
Why did the records of the scribes not mention this satellite? Or that Maxson sought to establish chapters across the former US with the one in Virginia unexpectedly going silent (the scribes would probably record that the Virginian chapter had encountered an unknown plague that was decimating their numbers. They would not know what it exactly did but that it was there)
The Advanced Power Armor. I know it is mentioned in the bible that it was developed at the Poseidon oil rig between the great war and Fallout 2 (and quite some terrible accidents happening during its development), but isn't it also mentioned in Fallout 2 somewhere near the end of the game?
In any case it is a retcon, what way people want to twist and turn it and not a fix to a plothole that is not there.
If anything the new version of Power Armor in Fallout 4 opens a plothole, why would this type of Power Armor never be referred to again? On the oil rig Enclave soldiers were equipped with the old T-51b power armor, why not also the type between it and the Advanced Power Armor?
BTW the same goes with the vertibird. Making it a pre war creation does not fill a plothole either because there never was one.
If anything Fallout 4 should just have used helicopters in its intro and it opens a bigger plothole with not explaining where the vertibird types of Fallout 3 and 4 which designs are very different come from.
So, re-watched the Vault 76 Overseers tapes...not only is Vault Tec heavily, HEAVILY implied to have started the great war, but apparently they did it to go a head with the vault experiments.
And Bethesda basically made these about just tormenting and killing people in various ways with some random nonsense about wanting to create super soldiers between it.
The plotline of Vault Tec probably starting the great war is rather similar to the setup of a Fallout movie that never got made.
The owner of the Vault Tec company had the great war started so that people would make use of his Vaults.
If anything Bethesda's new lore makes it clear that nothing of significance really happened in Virginia as all the survivors would be killed by the Scorched plague, and that whatever the inhabitants of Vault 76 established also did not matter because by the time of Fallout 3 no one on the East Coast would remember anything from this period of their history, not even badly mangled spoken records that were passed through.
I'm just waiting for Tagz to tell us that everything is fine and that the new lore is much better.
How so
Hassknecht? Has he really become such an apologist?
what's to be expected?
