  Bethesda’s philosophy with its in game representations is that they are highly stylized, scaled down, “theme parks”. Lots will be missing, especially from in between points of interest but the same situation applies not only to the real locations, but also to fake ones. Skyrim is dramatically scaled down with many cities and villages missing, locations within cities that are missing, cities not being to scale, etc. It’s like spark notes but for your eyes.

  The lore for Megaton as given in Fallout 3 is that it was a somewhat sheltered area where people began bringing scrap from an unnamed airport, possibly Dulles. Hence the planes and jet turbine on the construction of the town.

  I&apos;m always of the mindset that a 1:1 to real life is not needed, but it is way cooler if they can manage to do it. It&apos;s amazing how real feeling New Vegas&apos;s road systems feel. Kind of like Fallout 3 walked so New Vegas could run. I hope Bethesda takes as much care as Obsidian did with future Fallout releases.

  As a kid my brother and I went to DC on a business trip with my dad several times and we were able to pretty naturally navigate the metro stations IRL due to us playing Fallout 3 a lot.

  Fallout 3&apos;s map was so memorable. I second what you said about increasing the map to include the dlc areas within one map. Hopefully, they would add the missing &quot;more-than-half&quot; that was cut off in the D.C. ruins.

  Fallout 3 is like end of the world vibes, fallout New Vegas is like right, wrong, the survival of man.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCJQ3CDDPHc&amp;t=1471">24:31</a> I like that fact, I always wondered where they got the plane parts to build Megaton. The old lady said her father&apos;s generation built it from an old airport, but I could never find where that was in game, its nice to see there&apos;s actually a real life airport counterpart in the area after all.
