Bethesda vet Emil Pagliarulo says this simply means that &#8220;everything that happens in the show happened in the games, or will happen in the games.&#8221; Erm\u2026 ignore that shack filled with hundreds of human skulls, mmkay?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s really about getting the tone right, but they were very respectful of where we wanted to take it,&#8221; says Pagliarulo, mentioning the odd &#8220;late-night text&#8221; asking if something was &#8220;canonically right&#8221; before shooting. &#8220;It was always a back-and-forth.

Howard is asked whether the show will have an impact on Fallout 5.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In short, yes,&#8221; says Howard. &#8220;Fallout 5 will be existing in a world where the stories and events of the show happened or are happening.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are taking that into account.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Good thing or bad thing? It&#8217;s hard to tell and depends on the approach. To be clear, I think the Fallout show is absolutely great. Oblique references and nods to what goes on in it seem like a good idea, but I&#8217;m not sure anyone really wants Lucy or the Ghoul turning up in Fallout 5 (others will feel differently). But the game feels like it&#8217;s many years away, so we&#8217;ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n<p>As for the show&#8217;s impact on the games and attracting new players, our man says they&#8217;re past that stage now.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s still so many people that won&#8217;t play a game,&#8221; says Howard. &#8220;I think that&#8217;s getting better but there&#8217;s still people who are intimidated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They still get to experience Fallout and I think that&#8217;s really important because they&#8217;re now equal fans of the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fallout Season 2&#8217;s first episode premieres December 17, and this time around focuses on New Vegas.
