Fallout 3 takes place in the Capital Wasteland of Washington D.C, Fallout: New Vegas in the Mojave of California, and in the glimmering hope of New Vegas, Nevada. Each Fallout game takes place in a different part of the now war-torn United States. Giant, radiation infused animals roam free, mindless and dangerous Raiders, and warring factions fight to control the wastelands. Fallout is a RPG shotter that takes place after a great nuclear war, where most life has been extinguished.
