Bethesda Director Makes Fallout 4 Protagonist a War Criminal

Over the years, Bethesda has gained a certain reputation among many Fallout fans for frequently distorting the established rules and lore of the original games, often through retcons. From the true creator of Jet to the survival of the Enclave, from a ghoul spending centuries in a fridge to the power armor’s reliance on fusion cores – the list of inconsistencies introduced by Bethesda seems endless.

Now, with a character as important as the protagonist of a mainline Fallout game being branded a war criminal, only to have that status revoked on a whim, the community’s complaints regarding Bethesda’s handling of Fallout’s lore have only intensified. Coupled with the lore-related inconsistencies of Amazon’s new Fallout TV series, which Todd Howard himself claims to be canon, the question arises: What can we still consider Fallout canon at this point?
