Fallout became one of the greatest video game adaptations ever not because of how closely it stuck to the source material, but because of how much it strayed. Because Fallout is an open-world game, every player has a different experience of the story. Instead of trying to choose one path or somehow combine all the possibilities, the Fallout series established a brand-new mystery surrounding the established wasteland. There were some familiar names, like the New California Republic, but Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell) was on a journey all her own.
While this was a recipe for success for Season 1, the very last shot of the finale teased something else entirely: a brand new location ripped straight from a beloved installment in the Fallout universe. Now, an executive producer has made a huge promise: we will see New Vegas in glorious TV form.
