In the sixth episode of the show, we found out about Shady Sands’ fall in 2277. Four years before New Vegas starts. This retcons New Vegas. No one in the NCR talks about how their capital got nuked in NV. In the quest You’ll Know It When It Happens, the president of the New California Republic visits the Hoover Dam. Why would the president visit the dam after the capital got attacked? Hell, why is the NCR still in the Mojave Wasteland? It doesn’t make sense. So yes the show does retcons New Vegas.
Where does it say the whole NCR is gone overnight in 2077?
The only thing that’s making you think this is a drawing on a blackboard that says shady sands feel in ‘77, and then an arrow pointing later on in time to a mushroom cloud with no date under it.
The NCR was the size of modern day Germany, albeit probably with a smaller population. If Berlin were nuked today, and only Berlin, do you think Germany would just collapse completely within 4 years? They’d just ignore lines of succession and all of their other cities and give up? Why do you think the NCR would just throw in the towel after losing one city.
As for why we don’t see many people besides criminal types, do you expect to see well adjusted people living next to the literal crater that used to be a city? The cast barely covers a few square miles around a recent nuclear disaster, it’s perfectly reasonable that they don’t see a whole lot of government officials and upstanding citizens while trekking through what amounts to a post-post-post apocalypse Chernobyl exclusion zone.
I’m talking about New Vegas only.
@Cannibal_MoshpitV3 Maybe talking about all of the series on rereading it.
You said they’d have to remove the NCR if they remade New Vegas.
I just told you why that’s not the case, but you seem hell bent on this idea that the NCR is gone because of the show and all 5 square miles of territory that it showed us.
If you don’t want to listen to other people’s ideas, why make a post about it?
