          I like to imagine that the rest of the world in the Fallout universe has long since recovered and is flourishing.

          I just wish the lore didn’t say that the US dragged Canada down with them :(

          Edit: someone beat me to posting this theory lol

            This is my head Canon with just about all dystopian fiction. Just take Hunger games. The US put up a wall against everyone else and began doing the Hunger games while the rest of the world goes ‘eh… just let them figure it out, don’t disturbed them’

        One of my favorite fan theories is that the world has largely recovered. The US is a bit unhinged though and is basically engaging in a no rules larp. Everyone else stays at a distance because if Americans are killing each other than global recovery can actually continue

    Why not just go through Sloan? Seems so much easier.

    (I know why you don’t go through Sloan. Feel the sarcasm, people.)

      Fallout Vegas. Load up the game and go walk through Sloan right at the start.

          Well… You’ll at the very least wish that you had a car.

          But it’s a good game. Try it. Find out. :)

        I know. I’ve played it many times. I thought the sarcasm was obvious enough.

          Nope, it wasn’t… Even then though, the game is old enough that we can no longer assume that people have even played the game anymore. Kids are using the internet that would have been born after FO:NV. There are likely some 20 year olds on this site that have never played it because they would have been too young.
