If it went global I'd say it be something more along the lines of Metro 2033 or The Book of Eli in terms of environment, life after, and where shelter is to be taken. The closest thing we have to Vault-Tec in our world is Vivos Underground Survival Shelters which are actually privately funded and owned and have no part of the government unless they started taking up contracting for the U.S government or any government in the world. Here's a link to their site- http://terravivos.com/
If not Vivos shelters then many people in the U.S in the biggest cities like N.Y.C, Los Angeles, Chicago, and D.C would likely be taking up residence in vast Metro tunnels since Metro tunnels themselves are built bomb shelters to protect residents of the cities from the worst of what's to come. Now regarding games like Fallout 3. Yes D.C would inevitabley be hit but not on the scale of what we see in Fallout 3. In fact it'd be far worse. The general calculation of the Chinese nuclear warhead yield is in the 3-5 Megaton range on their ICBMs so one launch of their DF-5 would've tore D.C apart along with the surrounding countryside. And very likely to collapse the bunker underneath the White House just while in air burst.
D.C would not be standing much at all. The Washington monument would be knocked over, the Capitol building a skeletal remain if anything at all, downtown D.C would be a giant blast mark, and I think it'd actually be a lot easier to get around on the surface since not many buildings would be standing. Knowing the Chinese nuclear arsenal today with most of the sources allocated towards MIRVs to launch more warheads with less power to cover more tactical or strategic targets, most of these missiles would be heading towards the Midwest and the East Coast. Oh believe me, the East Coast would get it the worst. Saturated with bombs. Likely the President and his cabinet would've been relocated to the Raven Rock bunker and likely to continue addressing the nation after the war, but all prove futile as everything would collapse when people are making self sufficient communities and starting their own governments in hopes not to repeat the mistakes of the previous one. Since the Chinese are as smart as us. The President of China and the rest of the Chinese Communist party would relocate to bunkers as well.
But the Chinese government would likely collapse as well in this event as many people would past communism in hopes to not relieve the days of Mao Zedong or the 21st century equivalent of Communism with a capitalist agenda that still found a way to make many lives bad. Here's a map showing cold war Russian targets and likely Chinese targets in the case of a global nuclear exchange- http://www.conspiracyclub.co/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/USA-targets-nuclear-attacksrr.jpg
So any thoughts on how you see a nuclear exchange playing out in real life here?
