Fallout: New Vegas’ NCR Ending Makes The Most Sense In The Show
How An NCR Victory Influenced A Post-Courier Vegas
For a variety of reasons , radioactive dust : New Vegas ’ NCR ending meshes best with the finish of theFalloutTV show . close inNew Vegasare settle by which faction the Courier chooses to side with in the Second Battle of Hoover Dam - basically , which pursuance contrast they complete to the wide . thing can end with either Caesar ’s Legion , Mr. House , the New California Republic , or the player type themselves ( along with Yes Man ) take over the decametre , rising to full dominance over the New Vegas slip , and ultimately ruling the fence in neighborhood .
EachFallout : New Vegasmain factionquest line ( except for Yes Man ’s ) has a point of no return , after which the participant can no longer complete job for other factions and most of their extremity become hostile . The actor will also be subject to random attack by assassin from factions they side against .
Now , most of thoseNew Vegasendings make it reasonably unmortgaged that the NCR is no more . After dedicate most of its troops to the Hoover Dam , the NCR lose in every scenario but one , and is either disband or destroyed as an substitute faction take over the New Vegas sphere . But the NCR still exists in theFalloutTV series , albeit in a very different form . What remains of the NCR in 2296 is a splinter group lead by Lee Moldaver , whose disciple view her a spiritual figure .

But regardless , the NCR had to survive the events ofFallout : New Vegasin 2281 so as to rest active , even in a importantly weakened form , fifteen yr subsequently . As a result , only the NCR end ofFallout : New Vegasreally draw mother wit with the telly show - although other endings are surely still possible .
Other Fallout: New Vegas Endings Are Possible, But Unlikely
The Caesar’s Legion, Mr. House, & Yes Man Endings Have A Loophole For The NCR
However , theFalloutTV show is carefully written not to specifically matter out any ofNew Vegas’endings , so to some extent , all of them are technically potential . Remember that Moldaver ’s arm of the NCR is only a splinter mathematical group , not the main forcefulness . It ’s possible to argue it survived a Caesar ’s Legion , Mr. House , or sovereign New Vegas victory , especially if it was reject by the NCR proper and drive out prior to the Second Battle of Hoover Dam . Even if the NCR lost , Moldaver ’s camarilla could have survived on its own , and come back to take the main junto ’s place after it had empty its former strongholds .
How The Fallout TV Show Changes The NCR’s Story
The Fall Of Shady Sands Controversy & The NCR Ending
There is , however , some confusion in theFalloutTV series as to the NCR ’s ultimate fate . In the 6th episode of the show , " The Trap , " a chalkboard displaying a partial series timeline claims that Shady Sands , capital of the NCR , devolve in 2277 , alongside a picture of a mushroom cloud . And indeed , the metropolis has been leveled when it actually appear in the show . This seems to be like a shot contradicted byFallout : New Vegas , which makes mention of the urban center still standing , even though players ca n’t in reality visit Shady Sands . As a result , the fall of Shady Sands taking spot in 2277 is difficult - but not out of the question - to square with the body politic of the NCR inNew Vegas .
The NCR is at its most knock-down in that game , just four years after its headquarters , establish website , and capital were destroy in an apparent nuclear blowup . It rules its own little slice of the Wasteland with an iron fist , and has resources that other camarilla have just heard of : working car , trains , standardized uniforms , et cetera . That does n’t vocalise like a beleaguered group of survivors on the cusp of recovering from penny-pinching - sum crash ; it sound like an all - powerful empire .
Eventually , Todd Howard himself had to pace in , clarifying toIGNinterviewers thatNew Vegaswas still canon - there might just be some confusion over the finer details here and there . Fans have represent this in many way , with some choosing to believe the day of the month on the blackboard was but an in - universe of discourse error made by a character . Others acknowledge this as a mistake by the showrunners , or even whichever set bureau wrote " 2277 " on the chalkboard that daytime .
As one of the best TV show adaptation of a video game , Fallout season 2 has to continue with its style of incorporating awe-inspiring plot details .
Still others choose to rede " the Fall of Shady Sands " not as a individual , ruinous event , but a years - long processthat began with the Mojave Campaign . The war against Caesar ’s Legion overextended NCR resource , while lobbyist arise to prominence in the burgeon metropolis . This led to corruption that delegitimized its government . Eventually , Hank McLean , alarm by the factionalism that he witnessed in Shady Sands , enraged by his wife ’s attempt to flee there , and convinced of the superiority of Vault - Tec ’s way of life , rase the city with a nuclear bomb calorimeter sometime after the events ofFallout : New Vegas .
SotheFalloutTV show recontextualizes the NCR finish ofNew Vegasas a cataclysm , the calm before an inevitable storm . Even though it gain the war , beat the Legion , and took over the Mojave , the NCR is still designate to fall victim to its own corruption in an act of semi - karmic retribution . That plays well with themes explored in bothNew Vegasand the TV show , and only really seduce sense if the NCR triumphed at the Hoover Dam .
But there ’s still room for interpretation - and further confusion . Fallout ’s second season is pose in New Vegasitself , and may have to address the game ’s outcome more straight off . It may choose to continue down a semi - neutral route , or make a more self-asserting pick . Either way , it ’ll be interesting to see how the TV show adapts and incorporates report beats fromFallout : New Vegas , and howNew Vegas ' level is changed in return .
