Forum:Wasteland References

It seems to me that NV is making references to the Wasteland (fallout like game that Fallout treats as a spiritual prequel or at least its influence). Does Obsidian/Bethesda treat Wasteland as Canon or is this just "Let's throw this in for the heck of it?" 67SunsetStrip 19:07, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
