    It’s an unknown “link” because there isn’t actually any connective tissue aside from FO4 protagonist being a former soldier. This is just a memberberry for the sake of a memberberry.

      Yeah but the fact this was tweeted by a fucking writer for fallout 4 makes this hilarious for me

      And even if he’s not the shooter, he’s still a participant in war crimes.

      Member when your character was retconned Into a war criminal by a tweet?

        Huh, I was going to challenge the usage of retcon for an “unrevealed detail” that doesn’t contradict anything, but apparently it’s for post release supplementary details too?

        Which I would argue means literally every single event in a sequel is a retcon, and is dumb, but that’s the definition Wikipedia goes with.

    Emil lost his mind.

    Bethseda keeps fucking up and retconning the lore of Fallout worse and worse and worse.

    Nothing after New Vegas is canon to me.

    No… No friggin’ way, this would have made the “you’re a Synth, actually” storyline even more interesting!

    A war criminal who isn’t actually themselves (c’mon, they could’ve just as well had Nora be the war criminal, too), given the opportunity to choose between accepting or rejecting the memories, then choosing how to process said memories (or not)!

    I can’t believe just how majorly they blew it, they were sitting on a gold mine…
