I was wondering a couple of things and I figured I would pound them all out in one topic.

1. Has anyone ever gone from the East Coast to the West Coast that we know of and would that even be probable?

2. Why in 200+ years has no one managed to fix a vehicle? I know that in Tactics there was a Humvee but that was the only working car I can remember.

3. How far east does the Legion's territory go?

4. Has anyone left the United States that we know of and gone to other countries? Would that even be possible?

Thats all I got but feel free to ask your miscellaneous wasteland related questions here if you want I figured we could turn this into a question thread for just random small stuff regarding Fallout.

1. Harold the ghoul

2.Yes, vertibirds and mortercycles

3.Denver

4.No

-Ed-E flew from the east coast to the west coast, and copies of the Wasteland Survival Guide have made their way to the Mojave. Plus Yao Guai have turned up in Zion. Shouldn't be any harder than travelling west to east, which the Brotherhood and Harold did, as well as whoever taught people how to make jet.

-The lack of drivable/moving vehicles is a game engine thing. You could get a working car in Fallout 2, and some of the vehicles in places like McCarran in New Vegas don't look 200 years old. Plus there's the B-29 in Lake Mead!

-In Fallout 3, Tenpenny and Moriarty both came from Europe, so it would probably be possible to go the other way.

http://fallout.gamepedia.com/ED-E#. http://fallout.gamepedia.com/Lyons, as well as the http://fallout.gamepedia.com/Enclave#Retreat also crossed it in the reverse direction. There's nothing saying it can't be done, there's just not much point to it. The East Coast isn't China for post-nuclear Marco Polos to discover and establish relations with.


They do, you just don't see them because fixed vehicles are rare. http://fallout.gamepedia.com/Highwayman, while the NCR http://fallout.gamepedia.com/New_California_Republic_Army#Air_force. The primary problem are parts, rather than fuel. 200 years is a long time span for mechanisms to go to the dogs.

Plus, as you say, the Midwest has a fully functional vehicle fleet, but that's Tactics, so the exact canonicity is dubious.

http://fallout.gamepedia.com/Marge_LeBarge was born in Canada. The Mordinos may also be from Mexico, Raul definitely is. I figure it's reasonable to assume that people travel the American landmass freely if they have a reason to. It's intercontinental travel that's a problem.
