“I don’t like this but I can’t articulate why”.īut how about this: something is lore friendly if it fits into and is believable in the game’s universe, and is consistent with the facts and timeline established by previous games in the series.

What does it mean when someone says, “this isn’t lore friendly”? The backstory created around a fictional universe. It’s like the word “literally”, which used to mean “literally”, but now it also means “figuratively”. Warning: If you’re the type of person who believes Fallout 1, 2, and New Vegas were the worst entries in the Fallout series because they were “the most boringest”, you might want to turn back now.
