Timeline discussion
I moved it to Talk:Timeline. Ausir 23:43, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * If you're excluding the Fallout Bible timeline from your own timeline (despite the fact that Bethesda also considers it canon) because you include only info from the games themselves, why include the Fallout 3 strategy guide? Also, some of the pre-WW2 "divergences" might simply be mistakes or artistic license, and are not actually meant to represent an earlier divergence (Bethesda devs themselves have mentioned the 1950s as when the timelines diverged).

 * Stubbornness? :D I've never seen where Bethesda stated that the Fallout Bible was officially canon, but then I haven't looked too hard.  As for the divergence, again I haven't looked too hard but I haven't heard them explicitly state it.  And as for the rest, well, I did it at 5:30 in the morning or so, some ungodly time and I was tired and it isn't complete, or where I want it.  It's not supposed to be a comprehensive resource it's supposed to give me an idea of what is absolutely set in stone if I decide to finally start modding Fallout 3 and wanted to include some canon material in my mod. But thanks for asking!  ABCoLD 09:31, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I did talk to some of the devs, and while they don't consider all of Fallout Bible canon, they definitely do consider some of it canon. The timeline is definitely canon, since it's based on Fallout 1 and 2 design documents and was what the games were based on, and Fallout 3 mentions many dates and events from it as well. Chris Avellone's Q&A sessions are less set in stone, though.
 * As for the point of divergence being after WW2, it's stated outright in the Fallout 3 manual. Ausir 19:03, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * By the way, I changed some of the references that pointed to the Fallout Bible, since some of the dates are also mentioned in FO1 holodisks, and some events are mentioned in FO1 without dates given. Ausir 19:53, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Star Caps
When he came and found me, all he said was that he was following me around and that I didn't understand how valuable they were. He said some people would kill for the caps and that some guy (I don't remember his name...), who may or may not exist, manufactured the caps and/or planted them places. I'm not really sure what you end up using them for, though. I think nobody knows yet because the game is so new, and no one has collected enough yet to tell. Hopefully nobody will get hunted down and shot :P Glomulus 23:14, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
