What about Texas? : Fallout Series Discussion

» Thu May 26, 2011 8:17 pm

Did the bombs hit in Texas? I haven't read or heard anything about what happened to Texas after the war. I was just wondering cause I'm curious as to whether or not I would have died if I were alive in 2077. WAIT! If the bombs fell in Texas, wouldn't that mean that the explosion would have been huge? Since...Ya' know...Everything is bigger in Texas?

Sounds like Texas got it pretty bad... Reading that wiki made me imagine The Road with the inclusion of giant toxic tornados, previously undiscovered monsters and dead Brotherhood soldiers..... Sounds unpleasent.

It's very much alive and svcking in BoS... Though it's still left to decide what could possibly exist as depicted in that abomination.

I like to think it's a big radioactive dust bowl.

Well...The wikia helped but didn't really say anything about people surving or not.

It's about the same as everywhere else.

At least some people survived and founded the town of http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Carbon.

That Paulson cowboy from Mothership Zeta said he was going back to Texas, right?

And in Fallout 2, Cassidy was always saying he wonders if Texas survived.

Ignoring almost everything else that happens in Fallout: BoS, it's a good indicator of what would happen to Texas.

IF there is a game in Texas, it most definatally needs to be Old Western-Esque.

Well, if there is alot of pro-slavery in Carbon... I wouldn't to see the rest...

It is logical to think Texas would get hit hard. It is a large place, with numerous large cities and a very, very large military installation.

There would be survivors, to some extent. I don't imagine living in the large, well-populated cities or at a military installation would give you good odds though. The smaller areas not worth targetting would likely have at least some survivors though.

My first post I still hope it's a big radioactive dust bowl but I found this info when reading up Ceaser's Legion. It's from Van Buren info so not canon but paints a great picture.

"Caesar has moved east of Texas, past the legendary cyclones that rage for most months of the year. Packs of his legionnaires were left behind and still operated in the southwest, collecting tribute from tribes in the form of goods and slaves."

Not to mention a supplier of Oil. The Enemies of the US would make sure those locations would be effectively empty of all life for a hostile takeover.

By 2077 the world was out of Oil.

Ahh, but that's the point. It was the -thought- of oil that cause the bombs to fall. The entire world was desperate, and being desperate creates paranoia. I could easily see the Chinese and other adversaries crippling the industry to try topple the US regime even if there was no point in it at all. In the end, that's the irony of the War, at least that's my opinion.
