Which ending to New Vegas is canon..If any?

Post » Sat Jul 14, 2012 9:38 am

I'm wondering which ending to Fallout:New Vegas is canon to the Fallout lore.
I think the most ideal ending that can be considered is the NCR ending,with the truce between the Brotherhood of Steel.
But that's just my opinion regarding the canon ending.
Which ending do YOU think is canon to the Fallout lore and why?
Discuss!

It's likely to be the NCR ending, if they have to choose.

90% of games, when there are multiple choice endings, it's usally the "good" ending that ends up being canon. In this case, NCR.

Of all the games I know of, only Blood Omen and TES II: Daggerfall avoided this; the former uses the "bad" ending and the latter does what amounts to an ass-pull of "every ending is and is not cannon at the same time!"

Not necessarily the most ideal, but I think the NCR ending is most likely to be canonised. NCR is the most established faction and I've got an inkling that Bethesda will want to stick to the status quo. Also, its considered the most 'good' (I feel sick saying this) ending, and you know what Bethesda's like...

Obviously, I want a House ending. I think it offers the most change while allowing the NCR to survive, which means the Core Region won't be messed with too severly, as it would be with a Legion ending. But I'm biased, of course :D

Sadly this.... =(

Most likely the NCR, but we can all pray it'll be House. =D

I can't see indy or legion endings being canonised, however i think they may have the house ending canonised as the NCR is dealt a serious blow and opens up new paths for the developers to create for the NCR, ie their power may start to slip and breaks out into civil war, or is simply broken up and disbanded.

I personally don't want to see the NCR ending canonised as their continued growth and stabilisation would make the Fallout world a bit 'tame' in my opinion.
