Rockin' out with Daesch

This ghoul has seen it all

Daesch has provided the Fallout wiki the Vault with a cool stack of Fallout logo art and a full map of the USA - split into West and East - highlighting locations from Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, Fallout BoS, Van Buren and (provisionally) Bethesda's Fallout 3, as well as current major locations not (yet) used in Fallout.

Neat!

Thanks Ausir.
 
that is neat, hopefully Section 8 can tell us a bit about FOT2's locations. IIRC, they were headed down to Florida for that one.

Isn't Necropolis supposed to be east of Junktown and the Hub, not west?

yea that and a few other things .. vault 13 shady sands, and vault 15 were in a straight line ------------> like this.. to each other..

there were a few other things...but i dont wanna be "that guy"

i havent played tactics ever ! anyone know where to get it in america?

wish they made van buren ......seemed pretty cool.

ohh well love the pictures...butttt the east side map wont load all the way?? whats up with that?

great job!
 
Wow, I like these maps. I never log in to comment on news here, but these are great!
 
Some of the locations might seem far off because F1 and F2's maps weren't exactly axed on a North-South "top-bottom". Notice how SF, Mariposa, V13, Shady Sands and V15 are aligned in a diagonal line.

That said, what's that "Carbon" location with the "B" tag?
 
Yes, maybe you are right, although some places like Necropolis and Broken Hills are strangely placed, I think.

Carbon is a town from FO: BOS, I believe. There's no carbon. Carbon never existed. It's all a illusion.

Still, Necropolis is dead wrong. Unless he put it on the spot of Bakersfield instead of Necropolis.

PoS
 
Locations on Daesch's maps are not always 100% faithful to the in-game maps, but they're more geographically accurate (they were somewhat approximated in the games).

As for Necropolis, the problem is that it's said to be in the location of Bakersfield in in-game text and the FO Bible timeline, while it's actually placed on the in-game map in the location of Barstow - it was moved on the map, but someone forgot to change the text files. Hence Daesch went with Bakersfield, not Barstow - because of this error both are just as valid.

The location of Broken Hills is dead wrong, though. But it should be fixed in the next version.

The tags are for the games the locations are from. 1 - FO1, 2 - FO2, 3 - FO3, T - FOT, V - Van Buren, B - FOBOS. The ones with no tags are mentioned-only.

Aside from Carbon, there's also a ghoul town of Los in FOBOS, but we have no idea which of the Los Somethingos cities of Texas it is. Anyone played FOBOS and remembers?
 
Thanks for all the comments. I'm glad the maps were well received. As for some of the concerns that stood out to me: 1) Ausir is correct that the locations were geographically placed and not 100% in-line with the games. 2) To reiterate Ausir's question: Does anyone know where Los is supposed to be??? : )

I'll be updating the maps this weekend. I'll check back here to see if anyone has left any other comments/suggestions before I do so.

I asked Jason Anderson and he said that regarding Necropolis he'd go with what's written (Bakersfield), and not the in-game map.

As for Broken Hills, it's placed where the real-world Broken Hills, Nevada ghost town is located - it might have been moved on the in-game map for gameplay reasons by someone who didn't know that it's a real world location.

I think Los is supposed to Los Angeles, but that is impossible as it would mean that there are two Vaults there.

No, FOBOS took place in Texas. It might be e.g. Los Fresnos or Los Ybanez.
 
About Broken Hills.... It is actually placed over the real-world location of Broken Hills. When placing sites I checked for any true geographical locations before plotting it. However, it is possible that the two Broken Hills are not meant to be the same city and Fallout's Broken Hills may be a new settlement. I don't remember if anything was said in-game about the city's placement. Any thoughts or comments?

Daesch
 
I think that since both the real and the Fallout Broken Hills are in Nevada, I think it's safe to assume that they're the same place, and it was just moved around for gameplay reasons, like Necropolis.
 
I'm not sure this shifting about for real-life locations makes a lot of sense. If a Fallout sequel were set on the West coast and included a new town built over Necropolis, I'd expect it to be were it was in Fallout 1, not on Bakersfield.

PS: Los is probably meant to be unidentified.

Probably best, I just checked the Wiki entries (yes I know Wikipedia is not infallible) on the two cities Ausir mentioned and neither are big enough.

But it is identified as Bakersfield both in a holodisk and by Tycho.
