ok so that shouldn’t be in the fallout universe then?
Except there’s loads of interesting concepts and ideas that you could do in the Fallout universe, but it always boils down to the Brotherhood and/or the Enclave. All sorts of groups would form in the aftermath of a devastating war and yet, it’s always the fascists in power armor that get the attention. (I wonder why that would be?)
I’ve read a hundred something star wars books
And yet, most of those are now no longer canonical and instead of coming up with new ideas, they’re just skimming them to bring back the stuff that people liked
If being a comic book enthusiast has taught me anything, it’s that canonicity is a trap. Hew too closely and your work becomes repetitive, you have to step away to make a mark.
but the whole story is the story. being inconsistent just makes everything worse.
you wouldn’t fuck up a novel for one chapter.
you wouldn’t fuck up a chapter for one page.
you wouldn’t fuck up a page for one sentence.
why would you fuck up three books for one book?
Because none of the books were written by the same people
They already don’t follow each other closely and let’s be frank, the Bethesda Fallout games are dogshit anyway
Tactics was more whitewashing of the Brotherhood of Steel and the less said about Fallout: BoS the better
I want to tell a brand new story with new ideas so that we don’t get the same shit with Star Wars where it’s just the same story told over and over

i’ve read a hundred something star wars books that’s only an accurate description of the films and everybody thinks the prequels and sequels are bad
