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.

[@IFynxI]

makes sense this way, Lucy was a child when her mother took them out of the vault and then her father nuked shady sands. same thing with maximus. the bombing of shady sands then has to happen after 2250 as Lucy leaves the vault as an adult 200 years after the initial nukes launched by vault tech in 2077

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.

One small additional thing about the chronology of Vault 101: Expeditions outside of the vault started in 2241 at the latest - the same time Fallout 2 takes place.

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...

So many clever word plays i was more so sat waiting for the next one rather than actually paying attention 😂

[@lunecakes]

so based on what we know in F:NV shady sands wasn't destroyed in 2277, and the chalkboard with the date was actually referring to the first battle for hoover dam, which is why the mushroom cloud is a separate bit on the timeline :)

[@brandonaguilera7467]

I just realized narratively, it's really cool that the protagonists of fallout games are vault dwellers when the company vault-tec itself is representative of evil capitalism in a post nuclear wasteland America. It's like the villains have produced the hero in the literal sense which is very cool.

[@TheSammyAberdeen]

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).

Errm. I don't think vault 76 was the first one to open. Vault 8 (which became Vault city) opened 10 years after the war and I think that there was some vault that opened just a year after.

Well, one (on purpose) didn't even close (however there were other vaults that didn't seal right)

@9:32 NPCs were in the game at launch. They were mostly robots and a travelling Super Mutant Merchant called Graham. It was meant to show how all humans and non-feral ghouls were wiped out by the scorched plague. Wastelanders added human and non-feral ghoul NPCs, as they were coming to Appalachia from other parts of the east coast chasing rumors of a treasure hidden in the mountains of Appalachia.

Tremendous video showcasing the tremendous lore of Fallout. I can't wait to see who the man in the shadows of Vault-Tec really is in Season 2 of the show.

[@elvisibra]

Correction: Shady Sands got nuked after 2277, probably after New Vegas events (Maximus was 8-10yo in his flashback). And NCR didn't get cold fusion, The BoS did..

[@coleabrams4534]

We don't know his age for sure though. We can speculate but we're not told it explicitly. We do, however, find out from Lucy that her mom died in 2277. Considering two dates point to the same event happening in 2277, I think it's more likely this is the date the writers intended. I'm not exactly bothered by the mistake itself but it is an error.

[@elvisibra]

@@coleabrams4534 Lucy was also about 5,6yo (before nuke) in her Shady Sands Flashback. Either way if we put Lucy and Maximus at about 20-21yo, then Shady got nuked 4-5 yrs after 2277. 🤷 We will probably learn more, then we will know.

[@swissarmyknight4306]

Word of Godd confirmed it, Shady Sands was nuked about a year after New Vegas.

[@elvisibra]

@@swissarmyknight4306 Yes by Max age right after nuke, and his status as lowest recruit (Aspirint) revealing his approx age in 2296, I figured it was something like that. Only at the time of comment, I didn't know. Day or couple days after I heard confirmation too.

[@vzerby]

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.

[@stati00on45]

So the biggest lore argument is about when shady sands was nuked?

Yup

Fallouts style isn’t based on the 1950’s it’s based on what they think would happen if we completely embraced nuclear power. Since small microchips were never invented they never moved on from the big boxy looking stuff

[@TrippingHawk]

the style is called “retrofuturism”

[@scjdg]

At 38 minutes in minor error (Cause we dont need the timeline conflict, Which even had ol Todd Howard come out and clairify) , Shady Sands was NOT nuked in 2277, more like sometime around 2281 say the day after Fallout New Vegas ends as the first available date.

The first divergent events from our timeline actually happened well before world war 2 which led into the larger and more noticeable shift around that post war time.
