Nicest Place to Live in the Wasteland?

The alien city under the Mojave. I would be able to live forever, since that city seems like it would be made by the same aliens who made the Cabot helmet thing. :lmao:

I already said where I would live, in a similar thread to this one a while ago. I would find a vault that I could restore to functionality. I would scavenge and repair robots to help me and I would trade and repair junk to anyone who would pay me to.
I would also disable the vault terminal outside of it, so no one could hack or use it to open the door and come in.
I would use the robots to trade and get supplies for me if needed.

I would spend my time messing around with tech stuff, using the recreation room in the vault, read books I would try to get my hands on, etc.

Let the wasteland be the wasteland, I would have a vault just for me :drunk: .
 
In Fallout 1: Lost Hills and Vault 13

In Fallout 2: if you were lucky enough to be so important that you survived the war on the Oil Rig, well, that's probably one of the nicest places, alongside the NCR and Vault City.

In Fallout 3 (even though there's really no place to live because the fucking eco-system is fucked in that game due to Bethesda's lazy worldbuilding: ) Tenpenny Tower and Rivet City

In New Vegas: The Strip (obviously,) Goodsprings, Jacobstown and possibly Freeside (if you're a member of the kings, that is.)

In Fallout 4 (discounting player settlements: ) the Institute, Prydwen and Cabot House

I'd have to say that the lucky 38 would be a great place to live. A personal suite with a bar and multiple bedrooms as well as the cocktail bar would be the most luxury you can really get in the wasteland. Plus if you could restore the place to a functioning casio you'd own the best casio in the mojave. Not to mention the giant computer upstairs which controls a small army.

But since the chances of me being the sole occupant and owner of the lucky 38 (alongside house or yes man also living there). I think a much more likely location to live in would be an area like litterally any part of NCR (especially under President Tandi) due to the pure amount of different lifestyle choices and its the area where I would be least likely to be shot in the head by a raider or have my legs pulled off my a radscorpion.

A doctor, a bar, a general store, a humble woman and her dog, an old man and his explosives in an independent frontier town. What more does one need in life?

I wouldn't wanna live in super busy areas like Vegas, or places with tons of rules and regulations up the wazzu just because they're safe.


I'd like to think My Courier lived out his days in Goodsprings playing Sheriff with Sunny as his deputy.
 
In Fallout 1, Shady Sands or Junktown.

In Fallout 2, the NCR, Arroyo (after the events of Fallout 2 have played out) or Modoc (after the famine crisis has been averted).

In New Vegas, either Goodsprings, Novac or the Strip (though I'd probably hate living at the Strip due to how bright and noisy it is).
 
Novac is a decent place and all but she was like crazed obsessed fanboy. She's type that would have you disappear if you said anything about bad about anything.

That should had been a thing, if you stood in Novac but disparaged it in front of her. Maybe even a small quest about how the legion treats people they take in from a first-hand view.
 
Fallout 1, Junktown.
Fallout 2, Navarro.
Fallout 3, Rivet City (as long as that ship isn't always fucking creaking.)
Fallout NV, The Strip or Nellis Airforce Base
Fallout 4, Goodneighbor.

:)
 
In a farming village you don't have to worry about malnutrition and everyone usually looks out for one another, so I would have to say Shady Sands in F1, Modoc or Arroyo in F2 and Goodsprings in New Vegas. Though, these little rustic towns are really vulnerable to bad harvests and opportunist gangs.
 
Fallout 2 Oil Rig/Navarro
Fallout 3 The Republic of... not really. Tenpenny all the way
Fallout NV Strip/Goodsprings
Fallout 4 The Institute
 
Junktown would be my choice in Fallout 1. Life is fair and safe under Darkwater's Law. From there you have a shot at engaging honest commerce, maybe drag tech back from some forgotten bunker, get some VR equipment, it's a blast.

NCR (any place) in Fallout 2.

I would not live in DC, you could not pay me to live in DC. I'll go someplace where there are law and universities.

Same thing with Boston, I go where civilization is.

In New Vegas, I would live at Old Mormon Fort because I would be a Follower of the Apocalypse
 
FO1: Junktown for sure. I respect Darkwater’s law.
FO2: Reno, actually, if only because it’s got a boxing circuit so entertainment and possibly free time activity are both covered.
FO3: Republic of Dave all the way.
New Vegas: Novac. There’s two NCR sharpshooters and an (admittedly basically crippled) ranger for protection, and a slaver who a certain courier conveniently helps dispose of.
FO4: Like previous posters have said, it’s a shithole. All of it. But I’ve always liked the “of the people for the people” philosophy of Goodneighbor, so I’m gonna have to say there.

Not to go off topic, but though I respect the NCR as a military organization (hence why for NV I’d say Novac), their government simply retreads the same old ground, and as a result has the same historical problems democratic republics have always had; inefficiency and corruption. Relative security, yes, but a government that I’m not so sure I could rely on in a time of need. Give me independent states any day.
 
Mine....
F1. either Vault13 or The Hub (and gimme a steam truck to do caravan instead of brahmin carts and footsloggerings)
F2. Frisco
New Vegas. anywhere within the Strips. maybe the Gomorrah.
