The live-action Fallout TV show has caused a huge rise in popularity for Bethesda's beloved RPG series, with concurrent player counts on the rise on Steam. Amongst the excitement, one Fallout lead has shared a previously unknown snippet of information connecting the original game to Fallout 4, but he's quickly backtracked on it due to how the fanbase received it.
Bethesda studio design director Emil Pagliarulo was the lead writer for Fallout 3, 4, and Fallout Shelter. He recently fought back against claims that "he doesn't give a shit" about Fallout's lore, saying that "being the person whose job and passion it is to keep the Fallout lore intact" has been "the honor of a lifetime." Needless to say, he takes his job very seriously, but he's had to wind things back after fans thought his latest revelation implied that Fallout 4's male protagonist, Nate, was a war criminal.
