Fans were, understandably, quick to interpret this as definitive confirmation that Season 2 will focus on New Vegas as a setting. Considering how beloved the game is, the feeling in the community is a bit all over the place. Some are excited, some are terrified. Others are speculating on how the game will be adapted too, wondering if the show will pick a canon ending.

New Vegas fans are worried about what Season 2 means for the game and its factions
The replies are varied, to say the least. Some are already adamant that Season 2 will be great, responding well to Nolan’s reference to New Vegas. Others are trying to figure out what this all means, and how it will handle returning to a setting that can have very different outcomes based on player choices.
Many seem to be eager for the Mr. House ending to be made canon, which would make sense, as we saw the character in the first season. However, some feel that Yes Man (or an independent Vegas) is more appropriate, either because that allows most of the factions to appear, or because of the sheer absurdity that it brings.
Right now, no factions have been confirmed. However, images from a supposed set that was found by a fan show Great Khan graffiti, suggesting that they could play a role.
