Fallout being the past history of the Elder Scrolls in their universe makes sense?

So apparently there will be a new game from Bethesda that will link Elder Scrolls and Fallout worlds. What initially hit me in the details of it is that Fallout is the past history of the Elder Scrolls in that universe. But it actually makes sense.

It would be an EXTREMELY unlikely chance event that the Elder Scrolls world came naturally. Somehow evolution to intelligent beings would have had to happen to apes, lizards, lions all at virtually the same time which is an EXTREME chance event that is near impossible to happen.

So possibly a nuclear extinction of the human race reset intelligence on that world, however it created a scenario that allowed for greater rates of evolution due to the radiation. So a likelihood of Argonians, Khajits and the various regular types of humans is far more likely in this scenario.

What do you good people think of this scenario.

Can't say it makes a whole lot of sense to me.

For example Plutonium-239 is the primary fissile isotope used for the production of nuclear weapons and has a half-life of 24,110 years. So basically it takes 100,000 years to decay to one-sixteenth of it's original concentration.

Meaning even 100,000 years after nuclear war, lots of the planet is probably dangerously radioactive and poisonous…

What about 200,000 years after nuclear destruction that life starts spawning again and another 1 million years for intelligent life to form?

EDIT: Forgive me, that should be a BILLION years for intelligent life to form. I am a little uneducated about evolution.

Yeah; maybe so.

Biology isn't my strongest science either.

But now I'm beginning to think that maybe Todd Howard is actually one of Trump's supporters/advisors -- promoting a mindset that global warming is not really a problem and thermonuclear war could actually be good for future evolution.

Did you forget the link that suggests this random speculation? I've never heard any credible proof of this idea. Nirn is Earth just billions of years in the future? What would be the point? I wonder how they would explain the 2nd moon? IIRC Masser is much larger than Secunda, which is about the size of our moon and orbits Masser, not Nirn.

It totally makes sense

A wizard did it

Makes about as much sense as the Big Bang theory.
Nothing + Nothing = Something.
Might as well be magic.

The leaker revealed everything Bethesda showed well in advance and supposedly tried to reveal that starfield was scrapped from E3 this year minutes before show for some reason. Starfield is supposedly a game in the center of the time line between Fallout and Elder Scrolls.

Thanks, Damian. So, a dude from 4Chan. Well, time will tell

Sounds like Shannara world. Technology falls and the resulting world including dwarves, gnomes, trolls and other creatures including monster machines was a result of that catacalysm.

Not too original. Sounds like a lawsuit.

What's next? Geralt of Rivia ends up in the vault from the distant future due to a magic experiment and from there timewarps inside the imperial Palace during the opening days of Oblivion crisis. Then Geralt helps Martin to close the gates of oblivion and regain his throne to secure the future bloodline of Northern kingdom rulers who all descend from Martin. If you think about it makes total sense. Witcher world has elves, dwarves, dragons and magic just to name few similarities!

After solving oblivion crisis, he travels through time back to his own timeline in the distant future. If you remember how Geralt woke up in the forrest in the begining of witcher 1 suffering from the amnesia, this is the explanation for that.

Man, it's all connected!

Only if Bethesda somehow obtains the rights to Witcher.

Doesn't make much sense at all. All the magic, worlds, dimensions and so on are so completely different from our own. It might work for things like Khajit etc, but it doesn't for Daedra and so on, or for the actual Elder Scrolls that the series is named after.

Even if just an idea or a rumor, TES/FO crossover qualifies as bullshit of the year.
IMO of course. Someone else might like it. Dunno who though, probably Beth CEO.

It makes no sense at all to me …

Black Isle Studios made the initial Fallout games while Bethesda made the Elder Scrolls.

When BIS went belly-up Bethesda acquired the rights to the Fallout franchise but both series were well established at that point and they are no more related than Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time universe is with the Forgotten Realms universe.

Trying to create a link between the two sounds like a recipe for disaster in my opinion but so did the notion of a high profile boxing match between a MMA fighter and a retired boxer and look how that turned out

Is there even a source for this claim that originates from Bethsoft?

It was a cute little hoax that got people talking. Nothing more.

I sort of suspected that.

It just didn't ring true in my ears - but then again, I have no idea where the rumor comes from.

Stranger things have happened, I guess.

About as likely as a kid for two centuries being stuck in a fridge, surviving on no food, water, oxygen.
I wouldn't underestimate Bethesda, guys.

It's a hoax then? Thank the maker! Have to admit that I'd fallen for it first time round. Happy days.
