Fallout Tactics lead designer Ed Orman has spoken out about the feeling of Bethesda removing their game from official canon.
Years before Fallout 3 made its debut on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, a third Fallout game already existed in the form of Fallout Tactics. However, after Bethesda acquired the beloved IP from Interplay, the game was officially removed from canon, despite numerous elements returning in Fallout 4 and the new Amazon show. Now, 16 years after being removed from canon, Tactics’ lead designer Ed Orman has spoken out about their game being removed from Fallout’s universe.
“You don’t want to be told that what you’ve done is non-canon,” Orman explained. “By the time he said that I had a lot of distance from this, so it wasn’t heartbreaking or gut-wrenching—it was just like, ‘Oh man. You didn’t have to officially say it, we could have existed in this weird quantum state where it was kind of part of things.
