First time out of the vault
The Midwest Wasteland
2254, The Midwest Brotherhood of Steel begins to fall apart after a long war with the Super Mutant army. Gangs begin to pop up, taking control of buildings or communities that have remained in tact. The Brotherhood of Steel, fearing they might be outnumbered and out-resourced, decide to initiate a peace treaty among them and the gangs where the BoS is safe from their crimes, and in return, they protect them from the horrors of the wastes, like Deathclaws and a second Mutant uprising. The Chicago Enclave, once great, but ruined during the Chicago Wars for reclamation of the city, decides to detach themselves from the Enclave in order to form their own gang, the Syndicate, and try to take control of Chicago from the inside, without having the other gangs and BoS realize they are indeed, Enclave.

Important Places/Settlements
Chinatown - In order to access Chicago, you have to gain the trust of the Chinese gang, the Chinatown Triad. Before the war, Chinatown was reconstructed as a encampment for possible Chinese spies, so the attitude of the people are a bit hard-boiled. They mostly wield blunt weapons, like batons, and their clothes are suits over officer ware. Here, you can also find documents of pre-war Chinese terrorists on terminals.
Far Southside - A no man's land. The Far Southside is crime-ridden. The civilians are no better than raiders. It's basically Freeside, without any authority like the Kings or NCR. The Vault near Far Southside is filled with a gang who are experienced mechanics, trying to repair vehicles, among other things. The vault experiment was to see how the civilians could live when without any authority, not even an overseer. Most of the inhabitants had troubled pasts.
Drake Hotel - While most of the technology in the hotel, such as the lights and some of the elevators, are destroyed, the hotel is in pretty good shape. The ruling gang, based on the Chicago Outfit, lives here. They aren't entirely evil, but will not hesitate to kill without any conscious thoughts. The gang mostly uses Navy Pier as their place of operation so the BoS doesn't suspect anything. Navy Pier is filled with Mirelurks and other abominations, making it hard to tranverse, but they have a sewer system that leads straight to a warehouse they use.
Michigan Avenue Bridge - In order to get to the northside of Chicago from Museum Campus, you need to find a way to lower the drawbridge to travel across the bridge.
Wrigley Field - Home to a large group of Raiders who perform gladiator-like games on the baseball field. They are mostly equipped with sports equipment. You can find the schematics to a minigun that uses an automatic pitcher here.
Bunker Alpha - This is where the BoS first started. The bunker returns from tactics, with a few of the canon stories in that game. The BoS are mainly encamped at Tribune Tower, as well as Congress Theater and the Museum Campus.
Lake Michigan Vault - You might of noticed a vault near the top right, in Lake Michigan. That control vault was to see the experiences of living under irradiated waters. The inhabitants are now mindless, hostile ghouls that are combined with Mirelurk Kings. For now, I call them Merghouls.
