fnv timeline

Apparently it being 2023 means it's 10 years since I first played Fallout: New Vegas! Honestly startling to think about, both because this was such a distinct moment in my life and also because it does not feel like it was nearly long enough ago for a decade to have passed between. What a game! What a ride. I still wistfully dream of a remaster that won't crash on me every 15 minutes.

With FNV freshly on my mind, I found myself mocking together a rough timeline of key events for my small collective of Fallout characters, which has been lacking until now. Just a quick and easy project - until I started fleshing out some of the gaps, adding in important canon events, figuring out where things linked together...

The end result is still not a wholly complete timeline, but it's certainly the most comprehensive I've put together in 10 years and, for the first time, documents the story of my Courier 6 from innocuous start to brutal end. If I were a different sort of person, there would be a 100k fanfic in here somewhere. As it is, at least the cliffnotes are finally on paper!
