The Complete FALLOUT Timeline Explained!

Ойындар

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.

    You forgot to mention a big history point. The integrated microchip was NEVER invented in the Fallout universe. So all their technology is analog and nuclear based. This is the main reason why their technology is stuck in a 50s futurism look.

    Iv never really thought of the Pip Boy being the Fallout Universe's Iphone, but it pretty much is. Only ever playing Fallout 3 way back in 2008 I phones were still quite new, so I didn't quite make the connection back then. Fallout's universe really its the culture that halted, while everything else accelerated further then beyond even our own time line. We might have affordable 70 inch flatscreen tvs, but they had nuclear powered CRT's that could run for 1000 years. The people of the fallout universe (before the great war) would look at our own technology and think we were backward.

    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.

Todd Howard confirmed in an interview recently with IGN that it was nuked after the events of Fallout: New Vegas. People just misread the timeline. The Nuke on the timeline in the show indicated an event AFTER the denoted "Fall of Shady Sands" meaning they are actually separate events.

    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...

    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).

    Something also worth mentioning is the creation of the BoS as the ancestor of the group of soldiers tasked with overseeing Mariposa (the place where the FEV was researched on) before the great war. Additionally the cursedness of the newly mutated wildlife is also thanks to said FEV ending up in the atmosphere shortly after the apocalypse, causing the virus to mutate due to radiation and essentially turning the usual mutation caused by nuclear fallout up by 100000

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.

    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. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

    I've always been mildly interested in fallout and finally installed fallout 4 on gamepass so I thought I'd like to find out a bit more about the lore of the place and luckily this video released on the same day. Needless to say there is now so much information it just took all my points out of intelligence.

    Hold of until April 25th! It's getting a next gen update on that day. Then It will look spicier

    I highly recommend you play the previous games. Fallout 1 & 2 are made by the original developers of the franchise and it really shows. They are the most Fallout games of the Fallout franchise.

    Figured this would be a real timeline and not just a summery of each game and the year they took place. Especially with the show coming out and many important things getting dates and pre war reveals ... literally spent 10 seconds on pre war fallout
