So i went online and looked a pics of real life goodsprings and primm, and it's amazing how accurate Obsidian was at recreating them, i strongly encourage everyone to do the same.

That's awesome. It really makes me realize just how small the world is in a lot of games compared to the areas they're based on.

That's pretty cool. I hate that they didn't use the appropriate number of casinos that Primm has in real life. After all in the game it only has 1 casino you can play at.

Mr. New Vegas said, "...Primm the other New Vegas!" on the radio.

To live up to that reputation the Bison Steve should have been open. Primm, in the game, is more like a settlement. Not the grand and great town that is recognized in reality. Even after a Nucler holocaust they should give the town more credit (based on the wikipedia link).

There is actually a really well done mod on nexus that brings in an entire quest chain where you rebuild the Bison Steve.

Pioneer Saloon, huh? I must say I didn't know Goodsprings ever existed, but to have it in NV in this detail? Look at that saloon. It's identical to the Prospector. There's Chet's store as well.

I don't have a computer version of the game so I can't get the mod. That does sound pretty cool though.

Goodsprings, Primm, Searchlight, Ivanpah racetrack, Nipton, Boulder City, and Nelson are all real world locations.

Wow. Didn't know how much effort they put into locations, but it is amazing how accurate it is.
