[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63026, member: 1"] [I][B]Warning:[/B] spoilers for the Fallout TV show follow.[/I] If you watched the [URL='https://www.ign.com/tv/fallout-the-series']Fallout TV show[/URL] as a fan of the video games upon which it’s based, one revelation in particular will have caught your eye: who dropped the bombs first on that fateful day in 2077. Fallout’s nuclear apocalypse was thought to have been triggered by China going first. Tim Cain, co-creator of Fallout, said in an interview last year that it was indeed China who dropped the first nuke. "The reason we got nuked is: bio-weapons were illegal and somehow China found out we were doing FEV [Forced Evolutionary Virus]," Cain explained in [URL='https://youtu.be/17EqWDn7gyc?feature=shared']an interview with Fallout lore expert TKs-Mantis[/URL]. "And they were like, 'you have to stop it.' And we went, 'OK.' And all we did is move it. All we did was move it over." But the Fallout TV show heavily suggests Vault-Tec, the evil corporate manufacturer of Fallout’s famous vaults, triggered the nuclear war by dropping bombs of its own — essentially for profit. This megaton has sent shockwaves throughout the Fallout lore community, but there is a groundswell of opinion that Vault-Tec shooting first is a misdirection. For a start, if Vault-Tec started the war by dropping the first bomb, wouldn’t Barb, a high-up executive privy to the company’s plan, have ensured Cooper Howard and their daughter were safe within a vault and not outside at a kid’s party before pushing the big red button?
