    It might be because I have only played a couple Fallout games so I don’t know the lore down to the specifics…but the New California Republic is based in California, and the TV series is also based in California. So how is that like saying one planet is another planet? And since it’s only 10 years after Fallout 4, I’m not surprised it looks more like Fallout 4 versus the other Fallout games.

      The issue is that it shows like a wasteland, but one of the things the NCR has is a GECK(deus ex machina that terraforms and cleans land.) Particularly in the cities, it would be a post-apocalyptic wasteland, but a living, bustling city full of ordinary people.

      They have enough industry to make and maintain old world tech like Vertibirds, APCs and Tanks.

        Are you able to link me a screen cap of what a Brotherhood of Steel city should look like? The Fallout games I’ve played didn’t have any city that looked like it was terraformed, as far as I can remember - although the Brotherhood did have a better setup than most considering the situation. If there was a city or town, it still looked pretty badly damaged, similar to most cities in most post-apocalyptic games and shows. I tried looking it up myself, and I could only find images of aged, post apocalyptic looking, buildings. The trailer only showed a small clip, and it looked like a military base more than a city, to me…so it could be possible that they still have this city you’re talking about and we just haven’t seen it yet? So now, from my understanding, the woke factor here is that the Brotherhood doesn’t reside in a clean, advanced looking, city in the show versus the game?

          Idk what the post was about, but there is a “terra formed” city in F2, namely “Vault City”, created thanks to the G.E.C.K.

            Ah, so 55 years before the show takes place. A lot can happen to a city in that time. I also don’t see how changing the look of a city is considered woke, which is what started this post. Lol. As far as I can tell, we haven’t even seen Vault City in the trailer or in the show - yet.
