    Could someone explain the missing context? I will not be going on Elon Musk’s X dot com.

      So one of the main devs for Fallout 4 revealed as a fun fact that the protagonist in Fallout 4 was one of the armour soldiers from the intro of Fallout 1 where they execute a canadian prisoner of war, so according to the geneva convention that constitutes a war crime since the protag participated in the execution by not stopping it

          The intro to Fallout 1 shows an in-universe news program depicting events from the US annexation of Canada, which happened between 2072 and 2077. The dev is saying the male protagonist from Fallout 4 is one of the soldiers in the footage executing a Canadian insurgent.

          So at some point the male protag was in the US army sometime around 2072. The bombs fall in 2077, he’s frozen, then he’s awoken in 2287.
