If Megaton was really 200 years old, I'd suspect most of the walls would have deteriorated by now. Didn't she say something along the lines of the original founders getting the bits and pieces for the wall from a nearby airport?

That would have been more believable as an explaination if they hadn't then made the place look barely scathed by the bombs

*gazes over the overly raider infested wasteland along with stores that has 200 year old food that has never been touched.*


Wait what?

The founders dragged aircraft peices from the local airport its remains now gone over time, to build the walls and some of the interior as you can see by a fuselage inside megaton. Although its offtopic i never saw the logic of why if they could drag aircraft wings and fuselage, why they didnt drag rail cars, or even pull up the existing rail lines, if they can build megaton, then they would be capable of that.

Also none of the wrecked buildings looked weathered, in the time since the bombs general deterioration from the ruin and loss of structural integrity plus weathering would affect them, also the stores wouldnt be in that condition if the bombs dropped around them they would be all burnt out, fire is a major factor in a nuclear blast.

But weather affects in games arent that great, i played wow when they introduced rain to the game because everyone wanted to see what it was like when it rained, other than the fact that it slowed the game up, it was actually pointless as it made no change to the game other than losing vision at distance, and you had the option to turn it off which i did, making the game run that little bit slower was more of a problem.

PATROLLING THE MOJAVE ALMOST MAKES YOU WISH FOR A NUCLEAR WINTER

You were also in a desert that wasn't directly hit by any nukes

But that shouldn't matter at all.

Look at Honest Hearts, Zion didn't get spared the nukes and its plantlife is thriving, as it should be.

My point is the world is/should be going back to normal (as normal as a wasteland can be that it) and Bethesda should let the series move on.

If you are just looking at plant life, then all you have to do is look at all the Fallout games but for Fallout 3. Oasis and Point Lookout don't count.

Seriously man, quit spamming threads. It's not funny at all, okay.


Anyway, I think plant life should definitely make a comeback, unless Bethesda does something that calls for a new nuclear winter, and plant life should go away again, but I don't think that will happen.
