It was pretty civilized in Fallout 2, I remember. There was Shady Sands (NCR) and Vault City, pretty technological and civilized. I'd say New Reno is civilized, even though they live in the ruins of the old world and are all scum, unlike Vault City and who built their cities themselves (though may still be scum). The mining towns would be something aswell. Then at the same time, there were many tribals who lives in tents or caves, believed in magic and whatnot, and since you are a tribal in Fallout 2, "civilized" people comment you alot. So realistically, since there was great progress between F1 and F2, there would of course be more progress between F2 and FNV. Of course, FNV is taking place on the frontline of the expanding NCR, if we got a look today at Shady Sands, that would have been nothing like F3's most advanced city of... Rivet City... then there was this pre-war guy who woke up and had control of a lot of robots, before him there were just tribals fighting over the city. So if we'd seen anything from before that, it would've been a bit closer to F3, though still far away from it, F3 is still a bit unrealistic (yeah yeah, realism in a game like Fallout) with that everything is dead and burnt-out and there are just crappy settlements and no growing food or managing cattle anywhere, so...
