Fallout
Warning ! This article contains spoiler for Amazon ’s Fallout show and Fallout 4 .
Summary
Despite the arguing theFalloutshow has caused about the status ofNew Vegasin canyon , a pocket-sized hidden contingent suggests another game could have been change even more drastically . Where theFalloutshow fits into the larger canon of the franchise , and how it interacts with the game , has plagued the serial publication since its promulgation . Fallouthas finally answered that the show does in fact fit into the principal canyon timeline of the enfranchisement , but the resolution of that problem has created several new one .
Falloutmade several changes to the TV game , with some of the biggest being toFallout : New Vegas . In the show , Shady Sands , the working capital of the New California Republic- a major faction in the plot - was put down by a atomic burst . While that was a major digression fromFallout : New Vegas , there ’s another detail hidden in the show that changes a differentFalloutgame even more . A simple , and easily lose , part of the show could completely switch this secret plan ’s termination , and the integral future of theFalloutfranchise .
In festivity of Fallout ’s going on Prime Video , here ’s Screen Rant ’s complete guidebook to the franchise ’s type , locations , lore , and variety .
The Brotherhood Of Steel’s Airship Is Likely Fallout 4’s Prydwen
The show subtly confirmed the airship’s name to be the Prydwen, which hints that it’s the same ship as in Fallout 4
The Brotherhood of Steelwas inaugurate to theFalloutshow in prominent fashion with the reaching of an tremendous airship . It immediately set up the Brotherhood ’s big businessman and technological reward , but it also produce quite a job in coition to the game . Zooming in on the side of the dirigible , just next to the Brotherhood ’s insignia , reveals the parole " Prydwen " faintly paint on it . The job with that is that there is already a Brotherhood of Steel airship named the Prydwen inFallout ’s canon . As userTKsMantisnoted on social media , that could indicate that it ’s the same ship that appears in bothFallout 4and the show .
InFallout 4 , the Prydwen acted in much the same way as it did in the show : as trial impression of the Brotherhood ’s king . The Prydwen was the flagship of the East Coast chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel , and they used it to shew their presence in the Commonwealth . It also serve as the Brotherhood ’s mobile headquarters during their mission to excrete the synths that had been infiltrating the Commonwealth , which made it an extremely important location in the secret plan . It ’s a seemingly inconsequential Easter egg to the plot , but in actuality , its cellular inclusion in the show completely changesFallout 4 ’s ending .
Fallout Showing The Prydwen In 2096 Retcons Several Fallout 4 Endings
Half of the game’s endings saw the destruction of the Prydwen, so they can’t be canon now
Fallout 4 , like many other entries in the enfranchisement , have several conclusion that were dependent upon the participant ’s choices . There were four endings to the game ’s main pursuit , but only two of them - the Brotherhood conclusion and the Minutemen ending - can possibly be canyon due to the show including the Prydwen . The other two endings - side with the Railroad or the Institute - force the musician to destroy the Prydwen . Since theFalloutshow takes place nine years afterFallout 4intheFallouttimeline , the Prydwen could n’t have been around any longer if the player had chosen to side with them , making both closing decidedly non - canon .

SinceFalloutgames feature multiple endings , the enfranchisement has historically avoided pick out a specific one to canonize outright . Falloutis a series of roleplaying plot , and selection is important for make the actor feel swallow up in the game ’s world , so canonizing a special ending over others would remove some of that delegacy . TheFalloutshow broke that trend by including the Prydwen , and accordingly devalued the player ’s choice to side with the Institute or Railroad .
Could There Be Another Prydwen In Fallout?
If it was a different ship, giving it another name would have been much easier
The Fallout show will have to address how there is a ship diagnose the Prydwen nine years after its lot was decided , and there ’s no way to deflect picking a canon ending anymore .
There ’s a small opportunity that the show ’s airship being name the Prydwen does n’t retconFallout 4 , as the Brotherhood of Steel may have reuse the name " Prydwen " with a different ship . That could have been done to domesticate the original Prydwen and use it as a way to salve boldness after being vote out in the Commonwealth . It ’s just as likely that a different chapter of the Brotherhood would have tried to distance themselves from such a resonant defeat , though , which would have cause them to avoid using the name .
That mess also would have make the precise same trouble in reverse , as it would confirm the Prydwen had been destroyed and decanonize the Brotherhood ’s conclusion . No matter how they go about it , using the same name fromFallout 4would always cause mix-up and lead to questions about the franchise ’s persistence . TheFalloutshow will have to treat how there is a ship nominate the Prydwen nine years after its fate was resolve , and there ’s no way to head off picking a canon end anymore .
In addition to those in - existence problem , the Prydwen also posed a real life issue as well . The creators ofFalloutalso worked very heavily to hide out the ship ’s name before the show ’s vent . In a preview forVanity Fair , the name of the ship was referenced as the " Caswennan , " and the name on the side of the ship had been withdraw . If the Prydwen show in the show was just another airship , that would n’t have vindicate such concealment .
The Prydwen Changes Fallout 4’s Canon More Than New Vegas
The show’s references to New Vegas changed the fate of one faction, whereas the Fallout 4 references change the fate of the entire Commonwealth
The death of Shady Sandsand New Vegas certainly changed the backstory ofFallout : New Vegas , buttwoFalloutcreators confirmed the show did n’t retcon the game . Even if it had look at shoes before the events ofNew Vegas , theFalloutshow would n’t have all redefined the biz ’s conclusion and take one to canonize , as it never expressly defined which end was canyon . The show did , however , eliminate several ofFallout 4 ’s end , making it a much larger switch in that game ’s canon storyline .
Amazon Prime Video ’s Fallout TV show boast a massive connexion to an iconic localization from the picture secret plan serial on which it is based : New Vegas .
Which Fallout 4 Ending Is Canon In The Show?
Both are possible, but the Minutemen’s is more likely
Since the Prydwen is still around , only the Brotherhood of Steel ending and the Minutemen ending can possibly be canon in theFalloutshow . While both endings could be canon , it ’s more likely that the Minutemen ending is the official finale ofFallout 4 . Siding with the Minutemen allows for the Prydwen to still be around , but it also means the Brotherhood would n’t of necessity have any remaining claim over the Commonwealth . Both of those conditions are important , as given the Prydwen ’s appearance in theFalloutshow , it had to go away the Commonwealth at some point and head to California .

The Brotherhood termination would have place them in charge of the Commonwealth and give them all the responsibilities that go along with such a job . entertain and protecting such a gravid and crucial area would have necessitate countless troop and resource , and they in all likelihood would n’t have been able to spare the Prydwen for its California commission . If the Minutemen had bring home the bacon , though , the Brotherhood would n’t need to commit any of its resources to the Commonwealth any longer , free up the Prydwen to go wherever it was ask .

The coming into court of the Prydwen also give a wind into whatFalloutseason 2might hold . In the games , the Brotherhood of Steel in the West entered into a state of war with the NCR , and they were in hideaway by the time ofFallout : New Vegas . Now , bolstered by their self-command ofSiggi Wilzig ’s cold merger technologyand the front of the Prydwen , the Brotherhood might be set to go after what stay on of the NCR . The change the show has made toFallout4could have drastic effects onFalloutseason 2 .
