While these cities are familiar territory in our time, the Fallout series makes them a whole different world: one in which each character, city, and object has its own deep history and back-story. (the Capital Wasteland) and Nevada (New Vegas/ The Mojave Wasteland). The world in which this series takes place is a post-nuclear apocalypse United States: specifically what was once Washington D.C. Fallout (in this case, I will be speaking mostly about Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas) is huge. Right now that's looking like too huge a task, so I will instead take a look at its post-apocalyptic sibling, Fallout. Originally, I thought I would write on the Elder Scrolls series.
