Talk:Fallout 2 endings

Does this game end and can't play it after the endings? Like Fallout 3? (if no broken steel)? Bot2345 21:36, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Canon Endings
Now that New Vegas has been released, should someone add in a section saying that which of the endings are officially canon?

It would also be nice to explain why certain endings are canon instead of just declaring them canon.--Ol&#39;JJ 15:18, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

The "Bishop Child" ending is neither proven nor refuted in New Vegas. It simply states that the Bishop family is still in control and there is a "Mr. Bishop" in a position of power in New Reno. This does not mean the "Bishop Child" is the only explanation, and therefore does not establish the gender of the Chosen One as necessarily male.

Yes, it would be nice if sources would be added.

Vault City
I understand that according to Avallone's comments about Vault City's joining of the NCR (see: talk page of Vault City) would indicate that ending as canon, but for that to be true, wouldn't that mean that The Chosen One killed Westin? That seems impossible given that he had a grandson. unsigned
 * I'm trying to find sources. I think the biggest argument in favor of annexation is that the NCR has expanded far to the north and incorporated Redding and New Reno. Since in the VC Independent ending Westin and Lynette end up passing legislation limiting NCR's expansion north, it can be assumed that VC never went independent, leaving other endings up.

 * The way I see it, all of the endings have an issue; going through them one by one,
 * Gecko reactor meltdown and Vault citizens relocate- This one is easily written off because Vault City is still populated by NV.
 * Vault City's independence is recognized- this ending is possible, but raises issues like the ones you've pointed out, as well as Avallone's comments. I suppose VC's independence could have been recognized, but they still later requested to join the NCR, but that's just speculation.
 * Raiders cause Vault City to request aide of NCR- this one actually doesn't seem to have any conflicts with canon.
 * NCR absorbs Vault City due to lack of power- like I said before, the problem with this one is that in order to get it the Chosen One must kill Westin, which is impossible given that he has a grandson.
 * Vault City wiped out- again, this one is easily dismissed.
