Fallout 5: Todd Howard shared details of the game's story to ensure it didn't have any plot similarities with the Amazon show
- Thread starter AgentStrange
- Start date
I mean Bethesda has never made a West Coast Fallout, so I doubt its gonna do anything about the plot, I think we get NYC or Detroit personally.
Yes, its set 8 or 9 years post FO4 and 15 or so after New Vegas

Was gonna say
We're still years away from Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 5 is probably 5-7 years after that. Probably looking at 10-14 years before we see Fallout 5 unless they divide their teams up.
Like people will unironically say "remember that old show about Fallout?" by the time Fallout 5 is released
He's claiming dibs on story beats that won't be out for a literal 10+ years from now? Way to be a dick. And we know he's on such a roll with storytelling after Starfield that it's vital his ideas be protected!
It's just a random statement during hasty PR interviews, you should never take anything said during these seriously.
This was my first thought reading the title. It's been fucking ages.
I still can't bring myself to finish it as it feels like such a step backwards from NV.
You joke but some people in the subreddit were really up in arms about some lore implication from the trailer, lol. I am assuming it's not a widespread sentiment...
Okay well Skyrim is like the 7th best selling game of all time so they're not going to do that.
Fallout got two games last gen. It's Fallout's turn to wait.
Some real bitch eating crackers energy in here lol. It's such a harmless quote, especially in the context of the conversation being about Nolan's earlier "I think we made Fallout 5" quote and people wondering if this was replacing what was planned for the game. This is them clarifying that no, it is its own thing and FO5 is still happening.
But yeah, Fuck that guy. He is totally lying about... the people he is sitting next to.

Nah, it's 8 more years for 4 more seasons even in that case. Fallout 5 will easily take more than 8 years!
But I doubt the show will go on for 5 seasons even if very successful.
If Fallout 5 comes out in 10 years I'd argue a two year difference between season 5 and Fallout 5 is "close" haha
If Fallout is a The Boys style hit for Amazon, it could very easily still be airing by the time Fallout 5 comes out.
It's just very rare for any show to go beyond 3-4 seasons in the steaming era, but it's always possible. I am sure Amazon is desperate for a hit because their Nolan/Joy deal has turned out to be a misfire otherwise (still not as bad as the Phoebe Waller one...)
I agree that it's unlikely, but it's possible. For All Mankind on Apple was an early streaming hit and it's likely (barring Apple being morons) going to go for 7 seasons. FAM seasons take about 18 months to make but I imagine Fallout would be more like 24 months.
For all we know, Fallout could be a one off season. Although I doubt it.
To call anything on Apple a 'hit' is really stretching it, lol, they just like to burn money over there.
As long as For All Mankind gets to 7 seasons they can do what they like lol
Lol. I don't care about that show but I am happy they burn money on Slow Horses.
But I guess this has gotten off topic.
Seriously. What's with the Todd Howard hate here? This just seems like common sense and good planning.
Yeah, it would be weirder if they completely changed their plans for Fallout 5 just because they were doing a TV show.
It's not exactly new. Hating on Todd has been a meme for many years.
I will say, Starfield turning out as a disappointment for many hasn't helped.
There is nothing wrong with this quote at all, it's just general frustration leaking out.

straight up hate for Howard and Bethesda now? Is every thread is gonna turn into a joke/meme and go off topic?
I get some of y'all did not like Starfield, but did it hurt you or something? Did Todd?
Grow the F up. Who cares you didn't like Starfield, move on. It is low effort drive by and it is not deserved in every single instance.

My first thought on seeing this thread was "I'm fucking never getting another Elder Scrolls" š
