How fallout 3 might actually be plausible.

The only people gambling in the casinos are the rich of the NCR (brahmin barons, Trading Admins, Politicians) and the soldiers positioned near the city. And the money they make and lose is spent on the numerous bussiness that have blossomed thanks to the NCR intervention on the region....

Also the Nuclear Winter happened 200 years prior, the world is recovering from the chaos and violence that followed the fall of civilization, not the radiation.

You gotta pay more attention.

Please tell me how DC is possible, the worlds busy being built civilization already but only DC suffering from left of nuclear bomb yet.
Even for Fo1, nobody suffers from nuclear winter.
for ghouls, they didn't made by nuclear bomb or radiation from bomb but made by experimental virus and radiations.
some people of outer of Vault city might suffer from radiated water, but it's not because nuclear bomb but because of power plant of Gecko.

so actually there aren't not many people suffer from nuclear bomb or something unlike fo3. and if there's something that harms people with nuclear bomb or something, normally people will just move somewhere to evade it not just settle there.

You should do the same after saying.

Feels like you forgot a certain place and/or all the people who gambled away their "riches"? :P
 
Oh, yeah there is also the travelers, but they are mostly people from the NCR that live relatively safe lives and Vegas offers them the seeming opportunity to get rich easily. Anyway, the people gambling there are not the tribals or the people of places like Westside.
 
THe Wrangler is just outside of the strip. It's the strip for the losers, and their patrons are mostly the travelers and gangers anyway. You don't see Khans and Westsiders hitting the place.

Also before you mention the Primm casino, Primm is a settlement build to make money off the traffic resulting from the NCR occupation, so they are most deliberate in building a casino for the people that get scared of the trip to the Srtip.

But you can see westsider just outside :)
 
No, Westsiders have the Thorn for their gambling habits, altho that's more a bloodsport than a casino.
 
I can see people gambling bullets and fried rat meat but I didn't see one place manufacturing anything useful except for the sign factory. They should have just stuck with the caravan game and not gone for making gambling the focus of the game.

considering that you can still get rad sickness and get attacked by mutated creatures in New Vegas I'd say that the world is still recovering.
 
and for fo3 too.
only pitt makes something. other place? nah....

actually people of Novac are salvaging Repcon facility for their earning. they quit that because of ghouls. plus they trade their junk to trader for food, water and other things.

at quarry, people gather stone to make concrete.
Gunrunner makes guns, bullets and etc.
most town has their own farms.
if they don't, then they have alternative way for earning.
like Primm. they earn their earning with gambling, hotels and trading.

and you can say they don't do anything to make something?
really?

still get rad sickness and get attacked by mutated creatures

I hardly see anyone who suffer from rad at NV.
a ghoul in camp serchligh become ghoul but that's because of Legion's sabotage. other place? nah....
and for other radioactive place, nobody living in there except for super mutants who are immune to radiation.

and for creatures, they are part of ecosystem, with your logic, all the wild animals should be killed or domesticated to make place recovered. hmm...

The focus of the game? How? I tought the focus of the game was the threeway war (potentialy fourway) for the occupation of the place by the NCR, Legion and Vegas. Gambling is just a minigame presented in all of 3 places. Calling it the focus of the game is streching it. Specially because gambling is completely optional.

Also the only places with any relevant amount of radiation are very isolated or started being that way recently, they have relatively clean water, even in Westside. The people are more concerned with the Raiding, drug problems and lingering violence, not radiation.

Possible? That is not what you asked. Much of the Fallout setting can be argued to be not likely, parts of it downright impossible.

However, FNV is plausible in that what happens in the game fits into and follows the rules of a setting: it makes sense in the world that has been created and its conditions.


Failout 3? None of it makes sense. The setting only serves an excuse to show "cool" stuff, all of it poorly integrated in the game.

I will give it this though: the FO3 disc makes for a great coaster to rest my coffee mug on while I play FNV.

No, you don't see places manufacturing, because there is the whole NCR taking care of it. Vegas is a commercial/tourism area, with a good source of energy that others want to leverage. Factories are within the NCR. Nobody will put their factories on Vegas until there is a clear dominance by their faction, because otherwise they could fastly lose their investment.
DC was practically isolated; Vegas is disputed between two nations and other factions, and those nations have their own structures on their territory to handle the economy.
Tourism is good enough for countries nowadays to live, so I don't see anything wrong in leveraging tourism (even if mandated tourism, like soldiers who are there preparing for Hoover Dam).

Mutations will not revert by lack of radiation, and you could still get stung by a scorpion in civilized countries :roll:
As to rad sickness, you have to manage to find a source of radiation, and you will always get rad sick from those. This doesn't change the fact there is almost no radiation hotspots in Vegas, or in the first games, while in DC there are hotspots almost everywhere.
 
Average doctor won't do their service for free
and it's cheap compare to 1,2.
to cure radiation, you should buy expensive radaway.
If my memory is right, the price of radaway was 1~3000.

So why do I have to pay 50 caps all the time to get rid of radiation?

Maybe because you did get into radioactive zones? You are the courier, not precisely our regular Joe Wastelander. Also, if you are paying them all the time, maybe you should just be more careful.
Seriously, you don't seem to read through things, rather than just toss complaints without trying to get any points. The point, plain and simple, radiated zones are the minority. And there are no settlements where radiation is high, with the exception of places like Black Mountain, habited only by mutants resistant to radiation. So, stating they are still fighting nuclear winter seems a bit off, considering all of this.
