I am alittle disappointed that all the time iv been playing Fallout:NV iv never really heard about the events in capital wasteland, DC
Im kinda hoping we can hear more or even just alittle bit about the events in Fallout 3 and the Lone Wonderer, i was also Kinda disappointed at Fallout 3 for not mentioning Fallout 1,2 besides some commets here and there
Probably because they are on different sides of the country, the only reason there were comments in Fallout 3 is because the Brotherhood was from the West originally during the time of Fallout 1&2.
Why would there be much mention? The closest thing is ED-E who went cross-country. But it's not exactly all too easy to hike cross country through fields of centaurs, Wannamingos, supermutants, and even worse, Big Towners.
I would imagine that it would be hard to transfer information due to the lack of internet as well as there being no fuel to power any vehicles. I guess you'll just have to settle for ED-E and the Wasteland Survival Guide.
I think it's likely that Bethesda's next Fallout game will take place on the East Coast, and in this case we're likely to hear a few things about the Capital Wasteland and the events of Fallout 3. But it seems unlikely that New Vegas would have much gossip about what happened on the other side of the country three years ago.
