IGN had an interview with Todd Howard and brought up the confusion and he said the events of New Vegas are canon and that Shady Sands was bombed after 2281. The sign outside Shady Sands in the series also refers to it as the first capital of the NCR, which would imply there's at least one other.

Here's the screenshot with nuke on the board. I don't see an date with the bomb. The only date I see is "Fall of Shady Sands 2277" so yeah.
I think it's somewhat ambiguous. It lists the fall as 2277, but then there's an arrow to the mushroom cloud. So it doesn't say it was nuked in 2277, but it doesn't actually say when the nuke occurred either. But Todd Howard says New Vegas is canon and the nuke came after, so that pretty much answers the question, doesn't it?
No. The only date we have is 2277. So based on the info we have right now. Shady Sands got nuked in 2277.
Is that because you don't accept what Todd Howard and Christopher Nolan said about the timeline?
Why not just say it in the show. It will make things so clearer. But no they can't do that. Also in the IGN article, he gives no date. So the only date we do have at this time is 2277.
ok but nobody said in the show that it was nuked in 2277, either. ya'll are upset by your interpretation of a number written on a blackboard by an unknown character.
Okay, fair enough. I do agree it's ambiguous, but I don't draw the same conclusion.
A lot of things in the show are ambiguous and only very clear to people who played the games. Please stop with this fake outrage culture.
Lol probably. Classic "It's not MY ideal canon, therefore, regardless of official confirmation, I refuse to believe anything else!" fanboy syndrom. I.e. the worst kind of fanboy.
Sorry I'm late to this, but the board suggests the destruction happened some time after 2277, not that it happened in 2277. The fall of shady sands apparently is before the bombing.
New vegas has been confirmed canon by bethesda.
