The Fallout series has a long history. Once upon a time, franchise game developers offered not first-person shooters, but a different format of adventures
Some modern gamers have only heard about the first Fallout. For them, the Fallout franchise is primarily first-person games, like Fallout 3, F4, F76 or New Vegas (or Fallout Shelter).
As it turns out, in the very first part of Fallout, the main character of Fallout 4 appeared. This cameo is far from obvious: in the introductory video of the games there is an execution scene. In the frame there is a victim and a pair of soldiers in power armor – one of them, according to the design director of Bethesda Game Studios, is Nate, the protagonist of the fourth numbered part.
Emil Pagliarulo (Emil Pagliarulo) spoke against the background of the release of the Fallout series from Amazon and explained that you should look not at the shooter, but at the one standing next to him:
“With the wonderful atmosphere in the world lately, and the millions of wonderful Fallout fans (that's you!), I feel like it's time to finally talk about the unknown connection between Fallout 1 and Fallout 4. Remember the introductory video of Fallout 1? Annexation of Canada? THE SAME SAME. GUY (no, not the shooter!).”
Ardent Fallout fans began to appear in the comments, who did not appreciate that their hero (as follows from Emil’s words) is a war criminal , calmly watching the execution of an unarmed man.
The creator hastened to explain that “Emil is a war criminal” is not the canon of the series, and also again began to think about leaving the social network (although he held by some fans with whom he enjoys communicating):
«…Not all information I share about Fallout is automatically canon. Nate is NOT a war criminal.
When you create a world and characters, you have a LOT of canon in your head. You are constantly sorting through ideas. We talked about it being Nate earlier in that intro video. He went through hell as a soldier. Every day [he encountered terrible things]. This was one of them.
….This information was not shared with the player because [this character] was never meant to be who YOU [the players] think Nate is. To the player, Nate's soldier background is what you make of it. THIS is canon [i.e. according to the idea, each player himself comes up with the character’s past, which becomes his “personal canon”]“.
