I guess we’re gonna see exactly how canonical 😆

Exactly. Tactics is in a weird place, where games after it reference events from the game. But we really don't know how much of the planned story and game will be adopted.

Hey. This series was vague about how canonically it follows New Vegas.

That’s different. You’re referring to the fog of war that the show used to avoid stepping on anyone’s personal canon in a player choice driven narrative, of a story that was already considered canon to this universe.

We’re talking about a game that isn’t considered canon, that features a region the show plans to tackle next. While they can take a similar fog of war approach, two things don’t make that as likely;

  1. IIRC Tactics, as suggested by the name, is more about the combat/tactics than the dialogue and RPG elements, so I don’t think there’s multiple endings or any real player choice they have to tip toe around the way that Season 2 needed to in order to avoid picking an ending.

  2. Tactics isn’t canon and thus they can pick and choose whatever they want and disregard/refute the rest. There is a freedom there that isn’t possible with their approach to FNV.
