Although the more recent Bethesda-developed games in the Fallout franchise have taken place on the eastern coast of the United States, in areas such as West Virginia for Fallout 76, Washington D.C. for Fallout 3, and Boston, Massachusetts for Fallout 4, the original games all took place in the west.įallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout: New Vegas featured drastically different environments than those found in the Fallout series' later entries. While Fallout 4 and, to and even greater extent, Fallout 76, feature large amounts of lush greenery and decaying civilization, the version of the future presented in the earlier titles shows a dusty, widely spread-out version humanity which has not only moved past the apocalypse but has nearly completely forgotten how things used to be before.
The Fallout series prides itself on being a satirical take on a post-apocalyptic version of the United States, but many of its locations and structures are either based on or are straight copies of real world areas, and one fan has traveled to most of them.
