What I've seen so far of the Fallout series appalls me.
Remember that this wasteland we see is supposed to be set in California. You know, the one place in Fallout America that has a functional nation state. And and keep in mind that the vault the main character is from is supposed to be from is located near Los Angeles. For those who don't know, in Fallout Los Angeles, now called the Boneyard, is a core city of the New California Republic and contains its minting facility, the headquarters of their largest weapons manufactures, and the Followers medical university.
This area is not supposed to be a wasteland. But from what we've seen so far it has been reduced back into one along with the rest of the NCR.
Bethesda has always hated the idea of having actual civilization in their Fallout games. Despite the fact that in the original titles and New Vegas one of the major themes was that of civilization rebuilding and that the wasteland could not last. Instead Bethesda have always preferred to create anarchic rubble themed sandboxes that never change or improve to better fit the feel that they want for their games. No matter how little sense it makes.
And now it seems they have brought their brand of idiocy to the West coast, stomping on the last legacy of Black Isle/Obsidian all so that they can have their stupid theme park apocalypse.
