Well considering that at the end we just wake up from our VR tube in Vault 111 and realize that the whole game was just a dream ... I'd say you're correct.
You spend 400 game hours looking for your wife and child only to realize you never checked the cryo-tubes next to you when you woke up. D'oh!
Only cause you know it's true!
Would be interesting to see how you end up back to where you began though.
The thing that really disconcerts me is the omission of any locations from Fallout: New Vegas on the Monopoly board, I've often wondered if Bethesda just ignores the existence of New Vegas but this is especially arresting.
I had pointed that out in another thread but it is clear that each side corresponds to either FO1, FO2, FO3 or FO4. Unless they wanted to make a pentagon shaped board they are out of sides so I guess NV made the best choice to leave out.
Isn't there 20 properties? Even if you throw in FO Tactics you're short some names.
I think they should have a replaced "Go to Jail" with "Go to Mothership Zeta".
You return to vault 111 at the end and then you find out that...it's an android assembly line run by an AI that uses its vault dwellers as templates and you're just one of the recent models that went active due to a glitch in the system.
I just took a look at the rest of the locations from Fallout 4:
Sanctuary Hills
Lexington
Commonwealth Wasteland
Diamond City
Vault 111
Not sure the order means anything, but it is interesting that for the other games, the vault comes first. I don't think it implies the endgame occurs there though. The Fallout 3 segment ends with the Capitol, which in the game you can actually ignore completely. The Jefferson Memorial is the centerpiece of the plot and isn't featured on the board.
I don't particularly like Monopoly but I kind of want that.
