Modoc, was the worst location but a unique concept which arrives too late in the early part of the game to be engaging. Modoc's story, should have been Klamath, so as to give the player a good starting point with side quests.

Fallout 1,2 & 3(VB) could be with some modification Wasteland's Future.

Only Bethesda's Fallout had the wholly 50's styling. Fallout 1, 2, 3(VB) though there were elements of the retro-future, however there was also a healthy mix of 80's and 90's technology. Tactics, also can fall into an alternate Fallout future, as the technology is even more advanced...

Had New Vegas divorced itself entirely from the Bethesda Timeline, it would have made the game much better.

Though "Dead Money" was an interesting concept, I think it would have been better presented as a flashback to the past, where you play as an unnamed member of the Ocean's 11 style robbery crew. Could have been an interesting adventure in 2077.

Power Armor was the end state of the US Army Armored Branch, at least per Van Buren as apparently by that point the fuel stocks had been mostly exhausted.

A troop transport that can't carry troops, a reconnaissance vehicle that's too conspicuous to do reconnaissance, and a quasi-tank that has less armor than a snowblower, but has enough ammo to take out half of D.C. Though this is a pretty accurate description of Bethesda's APC from Fallout 4, it...

However, more designs would definitely further destroy what's left of the story-canon as already the United States was fighting a full scale war with the PRC, with diminishing fuel stocks which would have played hell with their logistics and procurement processes, which makes me weigh in against...

UPFRONT: I've never played Fallout 76 nor do I have any desire to, but after reading the wiki article on the "newest BOS (Appalachia)", well it was worth giving my ten cents worth! As Fallout as a series goes, their understanding of the US Armed Forces in particular (however they also have...

It has been ten years since the "Presper Incident", and the NCR is riding high. The Brotherhood of Steel is but a memory, with her back broken on the West Coast and her personnel scattered into the Mojave Wastes, while Caesar's Legion has retreated into what was once New Mexico. The Republic...

Fallout Tactics could be shoehorned into Wasteland due to the technology and setting style being closer to Wasteland.

It would be interesting to see what the Soviet Union of Fallout's Universe would look like, however I do not at all trust Bethesda to deliver anything beyond a campy "In Soviet Union....".

Rather than continuously beating the dead horse that is power armor, why not instead show advancement in technology with plating from power armor being adapted into conventional ballistic armor? (From the movie "Elysium")

More than likely, Fallout's divergence was the 1960's, as though Bethesda has an unhealthy obsession with the 1950's, since Stop Signs did not become red until at least 1954, it's safe to assume that the minimum point of divergence isn't until at least '54, but more likely not until the 60's.

Fallout as a franchise is pretty much ruined, and no amount of intervention on behalf of other major studios will be able to save it. Beyond a complete and total reboot, the series as we know it will basically continue to slide down the Fallout-Doom path until Bethesda squeezes every last dime...
