That's the only thing that makes you think it is?
What about Jet in pre-war vaults when it was made post-war?
What about the fact that the FEV and super mutants are a household name now despite specifically being what made The Master and was localized entirely in one area?
What about Nuka Cola having special Power Armor X-01 variants?
There's definitely more than that but that's all that comes to mind.
No, it proves that every game before is non-canon.
Nigger just have it be mid to late game equipment that you have to unlock through RPG PROGRESSION
Or we can have retarded mechanics to throttle the player so they can hand this shit to you right at the beginning of the game. Then it can be shown off at E3 and retarded game journos can write their reviews on 2 hours of gameplay. What a swell idea Pete. Have another raise.
>Fallout canon
>Zenimax
>Bethesda
That has as much canon as the looney tunes
Man, why couldn't they have Fallout 3 take place in Washington state or something? Just out of the bounds of the Core Region to make up their own stuff, but still close enough to include all the traditional enemies and stuff? Like the DC area could've easily been Seattle. Lots of references to the Great War and China attacking Alaska. Close to the ocean so the mirelurks could be there. Sure there wouldn't be reference to the DC area, but that shit was just a bunch of unnecessary fluff anyway.
Fucking Bethesda so horny about seeing their own backyard as alternate future wasteland they destroy a franchises canon to do it.
Wheres the mod that replaced all npcs with ghouls?
But if every power armor prior to Fallout 4 didn't require an item called "fusion cores" to function, doesn't that mean that Fallout 4 is in a splinter universe from the main series, thus making it non-canon?
Also, wouldn't the redesign to the plasma rifle/pistol also mean that it's an alternate canon?
>retcon = non-canon
since when?
>Giving the player power armor in the first few minutes
>Then in order to counter this, having to put in an arbitrary time limit on their use
It could have been a really good side quest, of you getting training to use them, your first frame, your first parts then being able to use power armor. Instead they fucked it so god damn hard its impossible how you could make it worse.
Just to make something clear, in your opinion, why do you think the game designers decided to put a power armor at the beginning of the game, with a deathclaw to fight that is at least more than 10 levels higher than you, and a minigun to kill it?
