It's good, but it doesn't care about the lore so people got mad for a while. Just like what bethesda does.
The only lore it changes is shady sands and the year could just be a production error so there's a chance nothing got retconned at all
Lol, no, thats just the big one that raises some questions about the timeline, if you think the Fallout show properly follows even the lore of F4 you're not paying attention.
Just off the top of my head right now while I shit:
Ghouls don't take drugs to not turn feral
Where the FUCK is the NCR, the country? It wasn't just Shady Sands surrounded by ruined LA, it was an actual nation-state that had civilization and laws and was generally less shitty than the rest of the wasteland
Mr. House was NOT at some pre-war meeting where Vault-Tec admitted to their vault tests AND that they'd drop the bomb. If he was his actions as explain in FNV no longer add up.
for that matter, that vault-tec meeting scene at ALL
No, the Enclave are NOT still around with enough power to still have scientists and camps and shit, we've destroyed how many of their HQs now?
I could go on if I thought about it but its wipe time
The ghoul drug thingy is actually a really good lore addition. It recontextualizes a lot of the games in an interesting way. If ghouls have to take these drugs and make enough money to afford them, the implications on morality of previous ghoul characters is fascinating.
And about the vault tech meeting: this plot point is actually older than new vegas. They took that from the scrapped fallout movie that they wanted to make in the Interplay/Black Isle era. I thought it was absolutely awesome that they researched fallout enough to even know about this obscure thing
