Bethesda and the show runners themselves have said that Shady Sands destruction came only months after the war for the Dam which the NCR won. The show itself also mentions that Shady Sands was basically revenge for them winning the Hoover Dam. But we know not which faction nuked 'em. Enclave? Brotherhood? The Legion (which would be weird since they don't use technology)? House? Possibly even Benny/Yes Man/player protagonist character.
Edit: Oh man... They could even write it as a gigantic joke; Shady Sands coincidentally was wiped off the map shortly after the events of NV by Fantastic when he accidentally activated the Archimedes II orbital cannon inside Helios One.
Unless I misunderstood the show, it was very directly stated that the overseer had nuked shady sands as an act of fuck you to his ex-wife.
Basically, how dare you find a functional community outside of my control. I will reduce it to ashes that way I am the only option.
My understanding was that but it wasn't because of his ex more so that any successful civ would undermine the concept of his vault recolonizing the world.
I agree with your sentiment, but I think it's about 50% of each. Though honestly, it's really bothered me this entire time that shady sands is literally a vault community. It's vault. 13. Literally vault wellers having a reclamation day and rebuilding the surface.
yeah but the ncr includes regular surface dwellers too. probably the idea is more like that of the enclave in fallout 3; wipe out all the "mutants" and repopulate from there
Lucy's dad? I might have zoned out through that... I watched it all in one long go so the last few episodes are hazy. 😅
Yeah some justification that he needed to do it so eventually him and the rest of the ceos from the vault could take over and half that he was vindictive prick and wanted his wife ( the ghoul Lucy mercy kills that's chained to the table at the end) to have nothing and to be without any respite now that she had forsaken his control and the vault
This needs a spoiler alert
If you can tell me what to do to do that I will edit it. Unfortunately, I never learned how to do spoiler tags
The problem is the tags don't actually seem to translate through apps and the Fediverse so I've just been going old school and saying SPOILERS AHEAD
Will do
