    Todd Howard saying something doesn’t magically make it true, you should be aware of that by now if you’ve ever followed anything Bethesda related.

    And again, like I said, the chalkboard clearly shows 2277 in clearly seen chalk. If that is not when the nuke falls, then that brings me back to my other point, that it then implies that Shady Sands started to fall before NV (retcon) and it undermines all the hopeful endings of NV.

    I.e. even if it doesn’t retcon the explicit plot beats of NV it retcons the themes and narrative.

      Have you ever played NV? Because for as much as I love the NCR, being my favourite factions out of any media. NV makes it pretty clear things aren’t all sunshine and rainbows.

      The chalk board itself is also showing a timeline of events. With the “fall” and nuking being separated. They clearly take place at two different times.

      2277 was the date of the first battle of Hoover Dam. If you’ve played NV you’d know marking that date as an arbitrary “fall” date isn’t that far fetched.
