Fallout Season 3 Leak Suggests Possible Return to the Capital Wasteland from Fallout 3

A playful behind-the-scenes snapshot from the filming of Amazon’s upcoming third season of Fallout hints at intriguing possibilities for the show’s storyline, particularly with a specific Brotherhood of Steel flag that has fans speculating about a potential journey to Fallout 3’s Capital Wasteland.

As noted by a fan on the r/Fallout subreddit, someone happened to visit the Los Angeles Natural History Museum during the production of the Fallout series. If you check out the images, you might be curious about how this connects to Fallout 3’s Capital Wasteland, especially since the Season 2 finale suggested that Cooper would be heading toward Colorado next.

The key detail lies in the emblem on the Brotherhood of Steel flag, which fans believe could represent the Order of the Quill, a faction introduced in Fallout 3.

However, this theory isn’t without its flaws. For one, there’s no definitive evidence that the Order of the Quill even has a flag, as it hasn’t been shown in the games. Additionally, it seems unlikely that the main characters would embark on a 40-day trek to Washington, even if it is somewhat aligned with their route from New Vegas to Colorado.

On the flip side, the L.A. Natural History Museum could serve as a fitting stand-in for the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington. Moreover, the characters don’t necessarily need to travel to the Capital Wasteland for a scene to take place there; it could easily be a flashback or a setup for the fourth season. So, while it’s a stretch, it’s not entirely out of the question.

Plus, there was speculation that Season 2 was hinting at a Fallout 3 Remastered reveal, and Todd Howard recently confirmed that it’s in the works. It seems unlikely that Bethesda and Amazon would pass up another chance for some cross-media synergy, right?
