Good for you!

Why bother visiting the locations, my vegas trip was lame af. No male ghoul "dancers" asking me if i like what i see, no cannibals asking me to kill farmer boys in order to make a burger and no vault hotel with no sarah so i brought 30 vault suits for nothing with me. At least i had the chance to blast some freeside thugs who attacked me with knifes and pool cues even tho the very unimersive human looking securitrons sayed there where some kind of festival visitors or something. Idk skipped the dialogue. Why even building a theme park that size in honor of new vegas and then the only gameplay thing is the lucky 38 and gambling.

That would be awesome

dont talk pish

Sounds pog AF, can I join?

My mind has just been legit blown

But where’s the gun ? Sorry I mean fun

They do that currently

@Alexander Markland Probably based off whatever was recovered from internet caches, newspaper and other shit and maybe any video games that survivied. Or If it takes long enough, maybe a few AI who survived and can tell us and show us some data they might have preserved.

Provided humanity "progresses" in that direction again.

I wish they made Germantown more realistic. I'm from Damascus so I spend a lot of time there. Imagine being able to fight raiders at MC, that'd be amazing

@Deniz Julian Metinoğlu T. Do they have a place called Americantown in Germany? :-))))))

@@uhtred7860 As far as I know Germantown was called Germantown because most of the early immigrants there were Germans. In Germany we don't have a place called "Americantown" or similar but what we do have are small villages with names like "Amerika", "Kalifornien", "Philadelphia" and "Neu Boston". The settlement "Amerika" in northern Germany was named this way because it was located in such a hard-to-reach swampy terrain that traveling there around 200 years ago seemed as difficult as traveling to the actual America.

This is a good video.

Around late 1950s and early 1960s to be precise

@@bullettime8760 if that was true the fallout universe would have had transistors from 1947 onwards, but their tech was quite different as they didn't have that advancement until just before the bombs dropped, and many other areas of science and technology where more advanced than what we had at the time or today.

@@tedthebear4748 Actually transistors do exist in the Fallout universe, as stated by Mr House. The timeline as far as I remember diverges in the 1960s

@@Saved-by-Grace I know they have Transistors but unlike us, the fallout universe didn't invent them as early as 1947 so it can be safe to say the timelines split before then.

this is fallout 3 music

@@JackTea666 Even though the music FOR the game is copyrighted songs anyway so using in-game music or other sources doesn't matter in that argument!

You should. That's a gold mine of tourism income!

If you do, good luck, but make sure to have it all recorded.

@@zacharyrollick6169 Here’s my take: As he says those words ...his friend walks around trying to understand how he’s been here before....as he looks back at him...he noticed something seriously strange........he was wasn’t there anymore...he frantically looks around and sees nobody...save for a large busted up watch with what looked like a screen on it the size of a phone....he picks it up and very briefly feels a gust of air blow at him...he looks around....everything’s destroyed....it’s quiet....the air burns.... nothing looks the same... there’s some Tall ugly sickly green men passing by....muttering something... he can’t tell what ....he gets closer to ask where he’s at ...but just as he takes a step ...one of them start firing at him with some sort of red beam....he ducks for cover behind something ....and then he sees it.... It’s his friend....but not like he remembers....he’s weilding a mini-gun and is shooting up everything in sight.....as he gets up to say hi to his friend.....a earth shaking roar is heard....somehow a gigantic 2 story behemoth like man appeared.... and is picking up a bus...as monster does this he whom is still hiding ....realizes he’s still holding the strange watch....he shakes it...nothing happens...he turns some dials and presses some buttons... It’s that gust of wind again... but this time....he’s right back where was ...moments before picking up the watch...

​@gizzly50 yup, they even created the desert oasis in Nevada commonly known as Sin City.

Hi Brandon, thanks for your comment. I didn't know that, I love to find such forsaken stuff in the cities here. I think all big cities around the world have a few public shelters. I only wanted to include places with clear name and design reference though

Brandon Michaels lets be real if you really look in dc theres a fallout shelter every 2 blocks. Thanks cold war

@@suzyadkins7404 oh

lol spot on

😭💀

Probably because in real life the Pentagon is usually depicted from above but in Fallout 3 you only see it from the side. I only learned the Citadel is the Pentagon because it is mentioned by the Enlclave radio program.

Marcus Hill the Fallout lore does help with the things they done wrong

Mr. Minuteman Like what lore? Just wondering

Marcus Hill well the split happened in the 1950s so the government had time to put a LOT of shops and stores anywhere possible to get more money ( but that's just what I think ) also they had to keep the map small enough so you could get that juicy sweet sweet 60 FPS

Marcus Hill there are videos on the lore just look up "Fallout lore" and you questions will be answered

Mr. Minuteman First of all, I play at 100 fps on my gtx 1060, and second of all, yes, thats true, but even simple things like roads were all screwed up... its clear what they focused on and wha they didnt.

Thank you very much :) I bought a 100 best of songs of the Rat Pack CD after playing Fallout 3 and picked my favourites.

Dean Martin is the best hands down

I also liked the slight echo, made me feel like I was wandering the wasteland listening to my pip boy.

Actually, Fallout is a retrofuturistic series. Meaning it isn't the 50s, it's what people *in* the 50s would imagine the future to be like. Retrofuturism is a very interesting, and I'd recommend anyone to check it out.

@@michaelpowers671 Right. In about 50 years from now, we're going to go nuclear with China, particularly after we take back Alaska. We'll also have Canada annexed to us.

@@michaelpowers671 Fallout's universe is diferent to us because after WWII, people started developing supercomputers and researching more efficient uses for nuclear energy. And then the Resources wars blew up in 2052

@@firuzmajid4780 exactly. A retrofuturistic view of what 2077 would be like.

You might wanna explore the main game before installing addons. When i remember correctly the normal centaurs of the main game are pretty weak.

That’s just so cool you could maneuver a place you never been, only in a game lol

@@obitosdoritos2937 Thank you! It was an amazing experience.

@@Nova-vk5qbnah hes cool

I got so many hours of Fallout 3, yet I still don't know how to 'discover' the White House other than that perk that shows every location lol 😂

Thanks a lot for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) I'm sure there still are a lot of places, maybe less famous ones, that I missed. Even though the dimensions of the areas are mostly wrong I still love that they put in a lot of little eastereggs like street signs with real street names.

Also the limitations that an engine from 1997 had

Nice.

You should definitely give it a try, especially if you don't play that many shooters. If you are used to modern ego shooters Fallout 3's gameplay might feel a little too simple unfortunately, but I think the atmosphere of the game is still great.

Thank you :) I think it depends on what you know better. I only knew the game when making the video and i played this game way too much. So for me the real life pictures were the revealing part. If you know the real locations better then it is propably the other way round.

I definitely miss the atmosphere of Capital Wasteland.

@@gizzly50I don’t have my copies of either game anymore but I used to boot them up just to walk around. I left my heart in New Vegas…

Or alternatively it wasn't hit with all nukes in existence in the hands of China, just one nuke, like any other bigger city. Look at Fallout 4, a nuke hit Boston (well an area close to Boston) and your character even sees it with their own eyes, yet they live to tell about it. There is a "Crater of Atom" in the middle of the Glowing Sea (where the nuke hit), but it didn't level the whole area.

@@Croftice1 yeah, but that's not really how nuclear war works, especially in a setting like Fallout where the absurdity of us as a species mass producing hundreds of many different types of incredibly destructive bombs, I mean even IRL we've got some world shakers, is amped up to a comical degree. They probably have even MORE of the kind of weapons that can carpet the surface of our planet probably several times over. Plus, they sent 77 warheads at Las Vegas, they're defs going to send more at the capital. It makes way more sense that Fallout's US government had crazy advanced anti-warhead tech that made most nukes detonate in the sky (still horrible and apocalyptic, but at least monuments will remain standing), rather than these countries with an abundance of nukes just sending 1 lonesome bomb for each city when they've got 100 for every population center, military base and industrial sector and nothing to lose at this point. Also considering that everyone pre-war was quite obviously expecting a nuclear war, they were definitely developing and used sci-fi counter missile stuff for all Fallout cities to not be just empty craters.

Thank you very much :)

Nelson Muntz is part of the fallout universe?

I know! Fallout 4 would have been the perfect setup for playable flash backs. It was the first game with a pre war protagonist. They could have created pre war areas accessible via Memory Den to solve quests. At least they could have let the protagonist comment on certain places and ruins. I mean she/he knew the prewar world and still doesen't care at all when for example entering a frickin sky scraper ruin. They had everything needed to perfectly implement such things, they had a talking protagonist and the Memory Den. They simply missed the chance to make use of the game's potential.

@@gizzly50 That would have been quite neat to see the character's pre war memories.

@@gizzly50 Yeah, well they can't do so because your character is supposed to be in blank state but, you know what they should have ditched that thing completely and could have cues from Mass Effect and other BioWare RPGs properly and should have implemented your idea. Well, they tried to take cues from BioWare RPGs but fucked it up badly. Seriously, I wouldn't have mind playing as Nate/Nora rather than SS still doesn't really matter to me because I always name my male SS as Nate and female SS as Nora. And, I just roleplay by making my own fanfic while playing how they would have lived in pre War Boston.

thx a lot, maybe my stuff is too random

You are right, i messed this up. I already clarfied this in a comment a while ago, should be pinned beneath the video.

@@gizzly50 Even I thought it was the Arlington Memorial Bridge until I checked the wiki

I completely agree with you. Fallout 3 holds a special place in my heart because no other Fallout game has managed to give me that strangely unique and constant feeling of nostalgia and desolation.

they're never going to be able to find a replacer for the acid filter. no matter what, fo3 is a special case. bleak as it is, sun still shines over the ruins of man

Hi Nate, thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoy the video :) I thought about making more comparisons with other Fallout games but then I noticed that there already are such videos about New Vegas and Fallout 4 out there. Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games so this project was dear to my heart but unfortunately I don't think I'm going to make more videos like this in the forseeable future.

Absolutely. I could very well imagine a fallout game set mostly pre war, maybe by means of playable flash backs. Fallout 4 missed a great oppertunity in this regard. An entire "pre war version" of Fallout 3 would also be cool. This could tell the story of how things came to be in Fallout 3 and maybe it would give replaying the original game afterwards a whole new nostalgic vibe.

@@ScoutTrooperMan Not hating on you personally but have you played the original 1 and 2, and new vegas? The feel of those were absorbed by unnecessary redesigns and awful, awful dialogue.

That indeed would be awesome. I already thought about doing a trip to DC to look stuff from the game up. But I actually don't think that the game is that accurate. I mean it contains a bunch of well known places that actually exist, but I'm pretty sure in between DC looks very different. Also I think the proportions of the game are much smaller, especially the National Mall probably is bigger in real life.

SwaggerNauts365 I'm from MA and like 15-20 min from Boston and to know where everything in Fallout 4 is cool

I lived in Germantown just a few blocks away from the police hq. Made playing the game oh so much cooler. My brothers and I could play in our back yard in the game, then play the game in our back yard.
