| How much better is the Commonwealth doing than the Capital Wasteland? Posted: 13 Jan 2020 12:03 PM PST In Fallout 3, we see an absolutely nightmarish hellscape that was once Washington, D.C. The inner city itself is hell. The overall tone of the game is bleaker. All the trees are dead. This makes sense, as DC was hit hardest by the bombs. (This aspect of the setting always appealed to me - because you're not a war hero trying to change the world, just a lost kid trying to find their dad in the scariest place imaginable, and you get caught up in a struggle that is above your head.) In Boston, we see piles of leaves on the ground, that, since the game is canonically set in autumn, would make sense if there are living trees that shed their leaves in the fall. If the Minutemen are canon, then no matter which faction you choose for F4, there will be a network of major and minor settlements sharing resources, supply lines, and volunteers to help protect each other. There are large, protected settlements outside of MM control as well - Goodneighbor, Diamond City, Bunker Hill, etc. Rivet City would be nice, but Megaton is a downright slum compared to Diamond City. If I was going to have to live in one place or the other, I think I'd take my chances in the Commonwealth. Especially now that the DC BoS has refocused their efforts away from helping the local populace. Thoughts? [link] [comments] |

| In Fallout 3, how is anything alive if the water is too irradiated to drink? Posted: 13 Jan 2020 11:14 PM PST I haven't played Fallout 3 in many years, but my understanding based on in-game information was that the water was undrinkable and also that plantlife could not grow in the soil because even groundwater was too contaminated to support plantlife. But without water, there's no plants, there's no animals since they can't drink, there's no predators because there's no animals for them to eat, etc. There's no food chain. Am I missing something here? Or is it just a huge oversight? [link] [comments] |
