That's a good question, given this game is set 200 years after the Bombs fell, and that you would think people would be tired of living in their own filth and rubble, and might actually try to clean up and rebuild.

They didn't in the NCR, they won't in Boston.

New Vegas, whatever. Everywhere is always a dirty shithole. Just look at the NCR/Ranger grand monument made of the finest scrap metal pulled out of someone's basement, or the Legion's supremely well made "broken pieces of actual armor and football gear" armor. It's kind of Fallout's thing that nobody can be bothered to clean up.

If you are referring to New Vegas, the explanation there is that New Vegas was only settled within 20 years of the game starting, with the Strip itself is built and cleaned, a major standoff between two military powers occurring, and also Obsidian had to make the game in like a year using the retard assets made in Fallout 3.

The next one is taking place in Des Moines. I've tried to say it here a few times, but no one cares about Fallout 5 ITT I guess :(

SUpposed to occur in the midwest with Des Moines as the hub much closer to the time of the bombs going off.

I am referring to all the games, though I forgot that Vault City looked okay. New Vegas itself is 20 years old, but the game doesn't take place in only New Vegas (thankfully, that's the shittiest part of the game).

There Diomedes aimed and stabbed, he gouged him down
his glistening flesh and wrenched the spear back out
and the brazen god of war let loose a shriek, roaring,
thundering loud as nine, ten thousand combat soldiers
shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.

It'd actually be interesting to see what it was like for the survivors, and for people to remember what it was like before the bombs, and have to live in the world that was created after.

But People have fears that beasts do not. Questions, too.
i can never understand why people carry around all sorts of weapons and items with them at all times. I usually carried like 3-4 guns, some ammo, grenades, drugs and food. Tossed everything else. People are crazy scavengers!

This time it looks like you'll able to scrap weapons/armor you don't want to make base materials for other stuff so that won't go away :v:

I agree. The bombs wouldn't have hit Des Moines as heavily as other cities (Des Moines was still a 2nd strike target for the Ruskies, so its still hit) but the game will take place closer to the blasts than the others. So there will be more to scavenge and less "built up" towns and strongholds and the like. It is supposed to be really awesome, with the Mississippi and MIssouri rivers featuring prominently and Des Moines right in the middle.

Edit: Also gonna petition for the Iowa Chop to be a new item for health regen.

I just read through all the perks and am pretty disappointed that its just all boring stat stuff like increase X by Y percent. Man I was hoping for some interesting ones. It would be the least they could do after removing skills and any meaningful character building.

Did you look at later upgrades to the perks? It's more than just stat increases.

I guess most of the ones that aren't just stat increases seem uninteresting to me. I guess the one where you can pacify people could be interesting except I wonder how it will even work since there's level scaling.
