The show is set years after New Vegas. New Vegas takes place in 2281, 4 in 2287, and almost 10 years later, the Fallout series takes place in 2296. They didn't retcon shit

@LtCameron88 They were stretched thin in 2277 from expanding into Nevada, and now their capital is retconed into getting nuked the same year they're supposed to defeat Caesar's Legion at Hoover Dam. Yeah, this would collapse the NCR more than enough to invalidate New Vegas.

@muxmutt Their OLD capital. NV hints they have a new one

@LtCameron88 Nuke doesn’t mean fully destroyed, they could have regroup and just be weaker since they got hit hard. As you said they probably moved somewhere to defend easier to recuperate.

@Mk2Phenex Only thing I could see being a issue is it was hit in 2277, but that can also be explained

@LtCameron88 The Enclave still existing is kinda nice cause I didn't feel the same impact that the Enclave did with the Institute, the Enclave are advanced, terrifying, and have a history of violence. The NCR also survived so much for them to be just gone, they're probably fine.

@LtCameron88 Ncr id assume have many other places across the Midwest after the legions defeat, snd we still see remnants of them in the show (won’t say where cause of spoilers)

@LtCameron88 They don't expressly say that the NCR is gone, just gone from Shady Sands. We no nothing of Northern California. New Vegas is going to be hella interesting though. AND ALL THOSE JUICY TID BITS ABOUT THE VAULTS!!!

@LtCameron88 But no one wants to admit it's plausible the enclave has survived

@LtCameron88 Yes. Literally

@LtCameron88 nope, they got some damage for sure but the old capital nuked. So NCR is still around and probably will be main focus of season 2

@LtCameron88 Except they moved shady sands location to where the boneyard should be. That’s a direct contradiction of the lore. And if shady sands is nuked before the events of new vegas that would retcon dialogue about the boneyard and shady sands in fallout new vegas.

@LtCameron88 Huh so now I'm wondering if that makes the lonesome roads bombs being set off by Ulysses and the Courier Canon seems like they went with the yes man ending after all

@LtCameron88 Yeah plus the main faction of this very show is the BOS, whom in FNV were so badly defeated that they became fucking vault dwellers lmfao

@LtCameron88 Plus they’re still in San Francisco too

@LtCameron88 The Enclave still exists? The West Coast chapter is like, 4 dudes, and the east coast chapter is basically wiped out

@LtCameron88 it doesnt matter anyways. the last episode very very obviously shows that the show is going to be having the main characters rebuilding the ncr

@LtCameron88 I really hate that they still exist though

@LtCameron88 The NCR are barely in this. Shady sands was the birth place of the nation, they should be all over that area

@LtCameron88 We also nuke the NCR in New Vegas (one of the Lonesome Road endings)

@LtCameron88 They’re not even gone! The literal final battle at the Griffith Observatory literally shoved in our faces that that was a remnant of the NCR lol yes they all died but that doesnt mean they’re fully gone. It ran from San Francisco down to LA as far east as Bakersfield, ton of land
