    Howard:

    >”The writers really wanted to go to New Vegas [for Season 2]. They actually wanted to go there in the early, early pitches of Season 1, and I said ‘I would save that. That can be, that’s such an iconic thing for Fallout, it’s better to, let’s establish the base and then we can go to New Vegas’”.

    >”I thought they did a really good job in taking it there because it’s tricky. You have an iconic area, a beloved game, particularly storylines that end different ways and really strong characters. And there’s like a million ways to fuck that up. So it can be a bit of a minefield, right? And I thought they did a great job, we spent a lot of time saying like, ‘let’s not refute anything that happened in the games, but let’s see if there’s some areas that the writers really want to push forward.”
