“There is a thread of, ‘Hey, civilization’s going to come back up and we’re all going to survive this,'” Howard states. “Or, you could look at it as a player or a viewer and say, ‘Well, maybe you are surviving, maybe that is your world, maybe that is it.'”

The Fallout series has changed a great deal in the three decades since its debut. What began as tactical, choice-driven role-playing games has evolved into costly, first-person experiences — still bound together by the post-nuclear setting and the many factions attempting to restore order in a broken world.

Howard directed Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 and was executive producer on the MMO Fallout 76, while Obsidian handled Fallout: New Vegas. Bethesda is currently developing Fallout 5, but it’s unlikely to arrive soon since The Elder Scrolls 6 will precede it.

In the meantime, Amazon’s Fallout TV adaptation helps fill the gap. Fallout season 2 premieres on Amazon Prime Video on December 17.
