I always found it ridiculous that Fallout takes place like 200 years after the big war and it's still such a wasteland. It would look like that for maybe a single-digit amount of years after humans start living on the surface again. Humans build things very quickly.
Blame FO3. The first Fallout took place less than a century after the nukes dropped, and by the time of the second Fallout, the setting wasn't really a wasteland anymore.
Exactly, no survivors would tolerate living like this. I know I wouldn't.
I always took the Bethesda fallout to be “it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism” to its logical conclusion in my head canon. It’s why no one builds anything because the value of labor as a social good had been nearly wiped out from society. Why would anyone build anything more than the bare minimum?
