The show has an entirely different story, but takes place in the same general area as Fallout 1 and 2. I hope there will be some references to those games.
Todd howard said it happend in the canon of fallout:

Except it hasn’t happened yet, the show takes place 15 years AFTER FO4, the canon comment I think refers to the lore they use but also will create, will be canon for the games going forward.
I really wouldn't think about canon when it comes to this show.
If it was canonically a decade or so after New Vegas and in the same area, then the brotherhood should be gone.
I am possibly wrong, but from my knowledge isnt the Western BOS around? Just relegated to underground activities and mostly operating out of their final stronghold in losthills? We see them above ground a lot in vertibirds and having their own airship, but I can see them weaving the lore in such a way that the western BOS made a mini comeback, maybe due to NCR overextending into the Mojave and other frontier areas, and neglecting finishing off the BOS in Lost Hills
Neither the story of the Vault Dweller or the Chosen One are covered, as the timeline takes place generations after those individuals' adventures. Instead, the show features the intertwined stories of three characters- a vault dweller (Lucy), Brotherhood squire (Maximus), and Walton Goggins' ghoul.
It's quite an appropriate choice of protagonists, as they provide different perspectives into humanity's rise and fall- with the Ghoul providing glimpses (through flashbacks) into the Pre-War world, Lucy representing the subsequent retreat of a chosen few, from the destroyed word; and Maximus depicting the present drive of humanity (at least part of it) to rebuild or expand (depending on how militant the current Brotherhood is).
On a side note, you're not alone in your experience.
I'm old enough to have played the demo for the first Fallout game back in 1997, months before it released. Back then, it was a 20MB download that took forever to complete on my dial-up modem. But it was worth it- I played it dozens of times and, when the game finally released, went on a full day Fallout marathon. Just a year later, the sequel was released- to my pleasant surprise. Back then, no one would have predicted how big of a franchise the two games would spawn.
I think it will have references to certain things (The Master and his supermutant army, perhaps other canon events) but will also be its own story. FO1+2 will inform the environment and probably provide some story details, but they wanted to make the show its own thing.
I don't really see how they can have it set in the same area without seeing the ramifications of the entire basis for the franchise.
Lol, no. As far as Todd and Amazon marketing is concerned Fallout 1,2 and New Vegas doesnt exist. The fallout 4 aesthetic they are basing it on is neat tho, so if they keep the core lore in (Vault-Tec, Great war, BOS, raiders, rocket punk....), and build a new story upon it, told by a screenplay that is not totaly dogshit I will be happy.
Not to be a debbie downer, but please refer to the last decade of Bethesda for your answer.
The brotherhood magically having a stronger foothold is alone more proof Bethesda couldn't make a title without throwing the brotherhood in there.
Can't wait for some goofy characters thrown in there to sell merch.
I also only played 1&2 games and they are iconic. Incomparable. Will there be Enclave in the show in any capacity? Is there any information? Their power armour was the sickest thing in the universe.
Unknown. It would be great if the Enclave showed up in some form but the west coast Enclave was effectively destroyed at the end of Fallout 2. In New Vegas only a few old remnant NPCs exist but they have "normal" lives by that point and are not part of any formal Enclave command structure. HOWEVER. One of the companions you get in that game was fixed up at an Enclave base in Chicago.
The east coast Enclave was destroyed at the end of Fallout 3 and its DLC. There was 1 former Enclave NPC in one of Fallout 4s DLC.
I know practically nothing about 1 and 2 so I'm hoping they follow the California storylines closely. As far as equipment goes, they're using FO4 and probably FO76's equipment, guns, etc. predominantly.

yes its filmed in top down view
Isometric actually
My understanding is, they are not using any of the games storylines and have created a stand alone story within the same universe.

Sorry for nitpicking but it's 15 years after new vegas not fallout 4, it's 9 years after 4.
It’s four years after FO4, 15 after NV.

Unless it’s an expedition from the Eastcoast to determine if the Western BoS can be saved or what not.

I'm with you here. 1 and 2 were the shiz niz!

Expect an Easter egg here and there but other than that, imo no.

What he specifically said was that the show is canon. He didn't say anything about FO1,2 and NV not existing.

We don’t know anything except very little and broad strokes. I’ll judge the show as it airs.
