Well, to be honest, 3 is the odd man out as far as setting goes. Even ignoring the shift to the east coast as opposed to the west with the earlier games, its version of the post-apocalypse is pretty inconsistent with what was established before. Granted, I wouldn't expect them to have necessarily had organizations like the NCR in Washington. Part of the point of jumping across the continent should be to let you explore new factions and areas that were never touched on before. But for some reason Bethesda thought that 200 years after the bombs dropped the world would pretty much be the exact same as immediately after the bombs dropped: most of civilization destroyed, a few rag tag groups trying to survive with no real re-establishment of any sort of civilization, everything being severely irradiated because apparently nuclear fallout never actually clears itself up (radioactive hotspots from nuclear fallout would stop being a major problem in less than a decade, to say nothing of 200 years later. The amount of radiation around the capital wasteland is just absurd both in the real world, and the Fallout universe).Originally Posted by Crop
