    Why do so many pre-war buildings seem mostly intact?

    Posted: 28 Jan 2020 11:29 AM PST

    210 years is a very, very, long time, especially considering manmade structures with no maintenance.

    If you showed most people pictures with no other context they would estimate a few years to a few decades of being abandoned.

    Logically speaking by 210 years most buildings should have deteriorated and collapsed. Most urban centers would be unrecognizable.

    So my question is: why is everything still standing? The mojave is somewhat understandable being a desert and with House. DC and Boston were built near rivers or on swampland, the moist environments of which eat manmade structures for breakfast.

    Were Pip-Boys commercially available for purchase before the war?

    I don't necessarily mean full on pre-war Robco stores that would sell P-Bs, but more specifically were they used to sell vaults to the common person? They are an incredibly advanced piece of tech for the pre-war fallout world and could probably be used as extremely persuasive sales pitches for Vault-Tec reps trying to book people into spaces. Did average civilians even know about them?

    I imagine there may have even been sales floor models of the different versions at the Vault-Tec corporate offices in various locations just as car and tech companies show off latest models in similar fashions. Some features lead us to believe the would be commercialized pre-war, like the ability to play holotape games on the most advanced, newest models.

    So what do you guys think, were P-Bs sold pre-war?

    Why does a pipboy... exist?

    I've looked at the pipboy, and aside from gameplay, I cannot think to as why someone would actually buy one.

    I mean it's practically just a health monitor radio. I don't see why a a civilian would be interested.

    I know they can also unlock vaults and play video games, but thanks to hyper inflation, would someone pay such a large amount of money for a glorified terminal?

    For bragging rights? I do not know.

    How do the people of the Capital Wasteland sustain themselves?

    There doesn't seem to be any form of farming or even hunting done by any of the settlements. Where do they get the food needed to survive?
