So, we all watched the Fallout 4 gameplay videos, and the game starts in the afternoon of October 23,2077, shortly before the Great War.
I think it's interesting how in the meanwhile, Maxson had already killed the scientists in the Mariposa base, and the president and the enclave had already retreated to the oil rig, which explains why he got no response when he notified the army of his desertion on radio, the US at this point was effectively left behind by the Enclave with the war looming.
So i don't know exactly what i want with this thread, discuss the pre-war prologue and the timeline.
