A tunnel system 25 stories high? I LIKE IT!
it's entirely possible skyscraqers would survive. if a 150KT bomb were detonated in a city, most structure 2.5 miles or farther out would survive. they'd be damaged, but still standing. In FO, were dealing with much less powerful bombs that are rated in megatons and not kilotons. assuming they're WWII era bombs as opposed to the thermonuclear bombs we have now. chances are, modern skyscraqers that are built to handle quite a punch would in fact survive. nothing at ground zero would, but I'd speculate the overpressure would drop to the point where builds would survive at less than a mile. the biggest threat would probably be fire.
Well if Bethesda doesn't do it then certainly modders will do. Or I'll do it myself, I know my way with Creation Kit/ G.E.C.K. I just don't have the patience to create ambitious projects. I always start with something and end up doing something else in the middle of the process.
I keep forgetting the Fallout world most likely uses atomic bombs/missiles and not thermonuclear weapons which would cause much more devastation and radiation.
I think in the fallout 1 trailer there was a higher tower..
Without electrical power keeping the air circulation systems going, skyscraqers will have their windows blow out with contrasting air pressures due to heating and cooling differences . They would then start decaying internally quite quickly, and eventually collapse, much like dead trees do... Saw this on the history channel....Life After People series. after 200 years, not going to be standing anymore...
saw that too, but it was the weather that actually did that. the changing of pressure effected the seals that hold the windows in and the fell out. that allowed water, rain, snow etc into the buildings which destroyed them from the inside out. but we've never seen weather in FO
