* BannedInChina: Due to the premise about a nuclear war between the U.S. and China, the show lacks a Chinese dub, either for Mainland China or Taiwan. The decision to not only never mention China but imply the war was against the Soviet Union instead was likely done in an effort to avoid this.

The requirement is that the creator lied about something. They didn't. Viewers are speculating about what must have happened, based on partial information. Retcons, added information, and nine years of additional story without direct reference to or confirmation of what happened in previous installations do not constitute lies. Everything about this entry belongs I the WMG page.


* LyingCreator: Part of the creators' insistence that the show would be a canon entry in the franchise in the leadup to release included assurance that the show would not engage in any CuttingOffTheBranches for previous entries. Despite this, the show's very first episode featured an appearance by [[spoiler:the ''Prydwen'' from ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' intact and still operational in the Brotherhood's service]], with reference made to [[spoiler:members of the organization still operating within the Commonwealth]]. Due to [[spoiler:the Institute and Railroad endings requiring destroying the ''Prydwen'']], this leaves only [[spoiler:the Brotherhood and Minutemen endings plausible and invalidating half of the game's potential endings]]. Additionally, [[spoiler:TheStinger for the Season 1 finale indicates the show will showcase the now run-down city of New Vegas heavily in the second season, which by its nature will require either choosing a specific ending to ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' as canon or rendering the player's choice of ending irrelevant somehow.]]

Main page doesn't mention any requirements. If the creator lied about something, even if something is "open-ended", then it qualifies.

None of that requires that the creators lied, given the time between the games and the show, and how all of the games' endings are actually rather open-ended in terms of what happens next.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D_C0gNjaiw According to Tim Cain]], he noticed when watching the first two episodes how one of the characters walked & moved a lot like some characters from ''[[VideoGame/Fallout1 Fallout 1 ]]'' (the series entry he directed back in 1997). When Cain asked about this to one of the show's directors, he was told that the actor had [[ThrowItIn thrown it in]] during filming since it was game-accurate. Both Cain and the director could tell the actor was a huge fan.
