someone from c/fuckcars is going to think this is about them.

Tbf, if they had monorail service in Goodsprings, this wouldn't be a problem. Instead it's all car-dependent asphalt roads or unwalkable, mutant-infested desert.

Yep, there it is.

Wait do all these places actually exist?

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 24 points 5 months ago

Pretty much yes.

The FNV map is a reasonably accurate, downscaled version of the actual topography and cities and notable landmarks of the Las Vegas area.

Helios One is based off of the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System

Dinky the Dinosaur and Novac are based off of a dinosaur museum/exhibit in Henderson, NV.

etc.

Many at least in name, yes. There's a lot less talk about wishing for a nuclear winter, however.

They have that little bar where you visit in the beginning of the game. They even setup a little fallout memorabilia corner in goodsprings

Wow, I just looked it up on Maps - I had no idea. This is awesome. I tried to find it myself whithout looking at blogposts and whatnot, so I'm still not 100% sure, but I guess this is the one.
