This series is kind of writing itself into a corner with how the timeline is advancing
>currently the timeline sits at 2296, over 200 years since the bombs dropped
>civilisations have advanced far beyond the point of simply living in scrapyards and surviving day by day
>Bethesda simply wants to make a post apoc RPG without lore fluff
>constantly try to either retconn shit or reset stuff that didnt need resetting or just ignoring overal progress and have people live in scrapyards
I dont see why Bethesda is this determined to make Fallout their own thing while holding onto the old lore
>They can reboot, fans of the old games wont be pissed and every retcon can be brushed off
>they can make a game set not long after the bombs dropped in a unused location, giving them freedom to do what they want
Add in the tv show making things even more complicated, and the fact that we wont see Fallout 5 until the 2030's after the show probably passed several seasons establishing its own lore
i dont see how they can continue this while pleasing the fanbase
