Have you ever pondered over a mystery so long that its solution becomes a part of your daily musings? Well, for many fans of the Fallout series, the question of who launched the first nuke during The Great War has been precisely that a perplexing enigma. But fear not, dear readers! We’ve finally got an answer from none other than Tim Cain himself.
The First Nuke Launched in Fallout
The world of Fallout is nothing short of a narrative treasure chest. With lore spanning over two decades and various titles, it’s easy to get lost in its sprawling history. Yet among all these stories lies one burning question that has kept fans up at night: Who fired first?
In an interview, Tim Cain didn’t just hint but outright confirmed who was responsible for firing those initial missiles. In his own words:
The reason we got nuked is: bio-weapons were illegal and somehow China found out we were doing FEV. And they were like, ‘You have to stop it.’ And we went, ‘Okay’. But all we did is move it.
If you’ve spent any time wandering through the wastelands or battling super mutants, you’ll know that the Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV) is infamous within the game’s universe. What started as an ambitious medical project turned into something far more sinister—mutations galore!
So there you have it from Tim Cain, the mastermind behind much of what makes Fallout tick. It was indeed China that decided enough was enough and pushed that big red button first.
What About The TV Show?
An interesting twist comes with the Fallout TV show set to premiere in April 2024. Rumor has it that Vault-Tec might be depicted as having triggered those devastating events instead! A potential alternate storyline? We’ll have to watch to find out more.
So, what do you think about this revelation? Has this settled any lingering debates for you? Or will you wait until next year’s TV show before completely restating this issue?
