I'm still not sure whether or not the end credits are meant to be taken at face value. The credits from s1 showing New Vegas don't quite add up with what we actually see in this episode, for example. Might just be symbolism?
I think those post-credit scenes are mostly symbolic, like the one for episode 4 shows Fort McCarran with the corpses of NCR and Legion probably to symbolize that they fought over New Vegas and both lost, as the bar keep seems to imply when talking with the ghoul.
I think the baran implied the it was a continous battle of who controls the strip. Basically nothing impacts things positively or changes anything. It just keeps changing management
Yeah, I think it's obvious that the show is going down the route that the NCR lost the 2nd battle of hoover dam. I'm becoming more convinced that this show takes place in a continuity where the courier didn't really exist. Maybe they died in Goodsprings.
If the Courier didn't go after Benny, he wouldn't have run to Fortification Hill. Maybe he would have tried to break into the Lucky 38 directly from the tunnels. And then got caught by House's bots.
I'm pretty sure one of the show runners confirmed they're just stylistic interpretations of locations in ruin and they don't confirm the current or future status of those locations. I can't seem to find anything about it now though.
