  • The Fallout franchise has a long and complex history and timeline that has been expanding its post-apocalyptic future ever since the original game’s release back in 1997. With 4 mainline games, a handful of spin-offs, and now a TV show that’s set within the same universe, the series has a big, meaty timeline to wrap your head around. And with the Amazon Prime TV show expanding on the franchise’s lore, and extending the timeline further into the future, there is no better time to dive back into the lore of Fallout than now.
    This is the Fallout timeline fully explained.
    From the Pre-War origins of RobCo. and Vault-Tec all the way through to Lucy MacLean’s journey to find her father via the stories set in the Capital Wasteland and the Commonwealth, this video breaks down the long and complex timeline of the Fallout franchise.

    This has been discussed ad nauseum. Shady Sands was not nuked in 2177. The timeline describes that the decline of the NCR happened in 2177 and then (separated by a dash) the town of Shady Sands was nuked sometime after. Shady Sands existed and is mentioned by members of the NCR during the events of Fallout New Vegas in 2281 so it had to have been blown up after the Second Battle of the Hoover Dam and after the conclusion of the DLC for FO:NV.

    Just to clarify (also mentioned by Todd Howard), Shady Sands wasn't destroyed by a bomb in 2277. The "fall" of Shady Sands happened then, which could've been a number of things like an uprising or some kind of societal downfall that we don't know about yet. The bomb actually fell some time shortly after the events of New Vegas (after 2281).

    This is great! Love to see the older games get a shout out, though I think it would had been better if you did a series explaining each game in the timeline as the clip notes for each are kinda haphazard and not entirely right with a lot of neat important lore glossed over.
    Also I'm not sure if 76 should be considered canon since it really breaks the lore established down the timeline, from the brotherhood, to super mutants, the tech and what have you (I'm aware they have some hokey justifications but it still really doesn't make sense in the scheme of things)
    Would be nice if you also did a look into the Fallout Bible/ original Fallout 3 (Van Buren) since quite a number of ideas did seep into the Bethesda iterations.
    *also a tiny editing gripe since it's a bit misleading to those who didn't play it, when mentioning killing the head of the Enclave at the end of Fallout 2 part, that's not the president but Special Agent Frank Horrigan the baddest Gen1 Super Mutant! Ah I can still remember the 1st time you meet him good memories! poor family...

  • @fillbert6690

    I'll have to disagree with the point of Shady Sands being destroyed in 2277, instead proposing it actually happens somewhere around 2282
    I've got a few points I want to make that backup my theory, which isn't all that unpopular in the Fallout community that isn't huffing paint fumes.
    1. The "Fall of Shady Sands" drawing we see points from the "Fall" towards the nuke, so we can assume that the fall predated the destruction
    2. We don't hear any NCR soldiers in New Vegas talk about Shady Sands as a "never forget" topic and it's never mentioned to be destroyed at all and since the game takes place in 2281, we can assume that Shady Sands was around at least until the events of Fallout New Vegas
    3. How did the NCR fall this much since the events of New Vegas? Well, it's pretty clear that the NCR was heavily stressed in their extended campaign in the Mojave after the First battle of Hoover Dam. The first battle of Hoover dam was in 2277, which was also the year that we saw the "Fall of shady sands" happened. We can easily assume that a combination of economic stress from their unchecked expansion into the Mojave and the toll of the battle, as well as a possible supply chain issue and even something like political corruption or scandal with President Kimball prior to his reelection in 2278 could start to cause the "Fall" of Shady Sands and the NCR as a whole. The destruction of Shady Sands was more a nail in the coffin of the NCR than anything else.
    4. The ages of Lucy and Maximus as portrayed in the show appear to be early to mid 20's, and since Lucy had no memory of Shady Sands but Maximus did, we can assume that Lucy was around 6 years old and Maximus was around 10 years old when Shady Sands was destroyed (Based on the flashbacks), leaving the earliest possible date for the nuke being around 2282.

Megaton is already a place and the Giant Ants that blight the raiders of the nearby school 36 years later are also documented, this is all in the Overseer's Terminal as you leave Vault 101 for the first time, though it's probably still there if you return later.

    To be more clear in Fallout 3 Operation Anchorage you don't actually go there it's a Military Simulation of the Operation Anchorage events that happened during the Great War.
    Further note there are other known Vaults that opened earlier, one at 50 Years after the bombs closed.

    I really hope there is more focus put on the Fallout games now. I remember playing Fallout 3 because a co-worker recommended it to me. It was my first Fallout game, and it was amazing! I played it non-stop, same with NV. I haven't tried 76 though. Is it worth it?
