Sightseeing in Fallout: New Vegas
<strong>[ Game -> Preview ]</strong> - More info on <a href="http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout: New Vegas">Game: Fallout: New Vegas</a>
<p><a href="http://www.gamesradar.com/f/sightseeing ... 081">Games Radar</a> take us through a quick tour of some of the landmark locations that have been revealed from <em><strong>Fallout: New Vegas</strong></em>. Check it out:</p>

If Dinky reminds you of The Wizard – a.k.a. the thinly veiled 90-minute Supre Mario Bros. 3 ad starring Fred Savage – then you probably grew up in the ‘80s, too. But yes, to answer your question: you can climb up into its mouth!</em></p>

No, it probably was. I'm sure, before writing the story, Bethesda sent Obsidian a list of things they wanted in the game. that has Bethsoft story telling all over it.Dr.Xen wrote:I really doubt if it had been hit "directly" or just magazine make up2382 wrote: <blockquote><em><br>At the center of the New Vegas desert sprawl is Black Mountain, aptly named for its scorched ground.

Remember megaton? An unexploded nuclear bomb, resting in the crater caused by aeroplane crashes, though the town was built from areoplanes that didn't crash there.
Why would they nuke a random mountain in the Nevada desert?

They both wanted to kill all mutants, they both wanted to get water around the wastes.jetbaby wrote:Did you play a different game than the rest of us?

Ok, while everyone is pointing out inconsistencies, I'd like to point out my own that's been hiding in my mind for a while.
Why would anyone re-settle Vegas? It's in the middle of a desert (hostile environment, no natural water and scarce food sources).
I haven't posted this question until now because well then you ask, why would anyone populate most of post-nuclear Cali anyway, seeing as it's one big desert wasteland. So feel free to disregard/poke holes/criticize/imply my homosexuality, etc.

Well, as for settling in Cali, what other choice did they have? After leaving the Vaults, they just took the resources and space closest to them, it's not like anything outside of Cali is lush and green. Ad for Vegas? Well, it was referenced in Fallout 1, it's where Tycho is from. I mean, why would anyone live there now? Obviously now they have to have water pumped into Vegas from elsewhere (I assume, being from across the pond my knowledge of American cities isn't too sharp, but I'm sure there's no river running through Vegas). If anything, if you're trapped in post-nuclear Nevada, Vegs would probably be the best place to settle. The first settlers can obviously loot wahtever food and water is left in the stores, whilst at the same time tapping into an underground water supply.gobbleykins wrote:Ok, while everyone is pointing out inconsistencies, I'd like to point out my own that's been hiding in my mind for a while.

I always took their choice of populating Cali as simply having no choice at all. To travel out of Cali would require a large amount of food and water, and when those resources are already scarce...
And as I just mentioned, where else are they gonna go that isn't an empty desert?

BoS were at war with mutants. Every ghoul seemed to complain the BoS were trying to kill them. President Eden wants the hero to put put some chemical in he water that will kill anyone with some form of mutation. Both groups wish to take control of the purifier. Both want the water, both want mutants dead. There may have been other things going on, but I only played it to the end once.
