I happened to enter Diamond City when it was October 31st in game. The whole city was decorated with Halloween stuff, and guards and residents had Halloween related dialogue.

Hope they add costumes for us to wear in game that are themed like a cowboy costume, witch costume and a ghost costume which would be a sheet we wear over our head. maybe their in the game already?

Wait, really...? That's...actually kinda cool.

Christmas too. It threw me off for a sec.

Wow. That's something. Unfortunately I was no where near Diamond City during that time, but I suppose I have Christmas to look forward to.

wait where is the date listed? and is there a way to sleep for months to let it be halloween again?

Date and time can be seen in the Data tab on your Pip-Boy, at the bottom of the screen.

Yeah I've been noticing Halloween stuff all over the place, abandoned houses etc. I thought it was because the bombs fell in October and that's how the theme stayed, frozen in time, nice attention to detail. Although they did celebrate it a little early though, not for another 10 days.

We start decorating for halloween here on oct 1st then after halloween we start christmas decorating. were a very festive people

Yeah, first time I arrived in Diamond City it was Halloween. I sort of took it for granted that these decorations were just a permanent part of the city until one of the guards mentioned something about the decorations. I then looked at the date in the Pip Boy and realized that it was possible this was especially up for the holiday. The next day, the decorations were gone and I was duly impressed. I figured Christmas will be the same, and maybe the Fourth of July?

They should have added snow during the winter. I mean they just did Skyrim, clearly they are capable of having cold weather and snow affects.

Its like December 20th in my save and its seemingly sunny and 70F outside... Muh immersion.

Who's to say the climate would even be the same?

Well because nuclear detonation doesn't change the position of the planet. Its still hot in the Mojave. It should still be cold in the north during winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

The planet's position won't change, but the atmosphere will. I can't remember where I saw it, but cataclysms do change the weather. A super volcano going off (such as Yellowstone) would put the northern hemisphere on ice for a very, very long time. There have been periods in history where such incidences have released excess greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere causing the ice caps to melt with even places like Iceland being fairly temperate. It's not surprising that a nuclear holocaust would effect the weather at all.

Had Christmas in Diamond City recently. Great little detail. Shame there was a huge rad storm at the time, probably ruined quite a few christmas parties that year.

Yeah, no. That's not how Earth's climate works. That's not how any of this works.

Ugh yeah it is... The great war didn't change the tilt of the Earth's axis or throw us out of our orbit...

LOL. Oh Jesus...

Ok sir, please elaborate to me which thing I have seemingly never heard of that has more control of our climate than our axial tilt relative to our orbit around the sun.

I'll wait.

Not reading all the replies to this thread I see. Look up.

I weep for the future.

The only lore regarding climate I have ever read was with regard to the Southwest... Desertification happened after the Great War not because of heat, but because the only reason it was fertile was human intervention and artificial water sources, which were lost after the war.

If anything, nuclear war would result in perpetual cooling.
