Some suggested issues with Fallout 3 that aren't issues

[dnateog]

Hey I would just like to point out that if ya'll didn't notice in the new screenshots there is a ghoul bartender......


could that be a sign that beth doesn't intend for all ghouls/muties to be evil and we can talk to some?

first post don't be mean!

 

[Per]

That screenshot is pretty old now and yes, it's a known non-hostile ghoul.

Seems to me the biggest issue is why the BoS would ever want to go Washington or even the East coast period. The first and most heavily destroyed cities would be New York and Washington D.C. I promise you in the even of a nuclear war Washington, regardless of whether the president was there at the time and New York would be completely leveled and so irradiated that even after 2000 years it's unlikely that there wouldn't be dangerously radioactive places. Tl;Dr there's no tchnology left for the brootherhood there. I find it far more likely they would try to cross the Pacific (which I imagine would require a boat, given veritbirds likely limited range) in hopes of finding a country that survived mostly unaffected and thus would have a plethora of tech not avalible to them or go up north. After all the U.S. certainly has a few installations in Alaska that are working on some high tech things.

Well, it might be more than just whats in those cities. Whats underneath, or in nearby shelters/bunkers could be valuable. Then there is also the other ways technology might have been preserved.

For instance, we have that concept art with the aircraft carrier on land: might they be travelling to the east coast to perhaps salvage something from any US Navy vessels that survived the war (nuclear subs, for instance)?

Or heck, maybe they just want to keep an eye on the east cost and the Enclave in case they try anything like they did before (maybe so they can get their hands on the technology involved before some tribal blows it all up).
