What are you going to nuke, their dead bodies?
>you will never play 3 for the first time in your life again
I started playing fallout 3. And thought it was a prequel to fallout 1 due to the conversations with the megaton citizens. Later notice it's the 23th century. u wot m8. Actually think. Maybe the NCR recovered nuclear abilities and renuked parts of the east in some war. But no. Bethesda is simply a retarded fishfrog.
>>275792130
This is part of what I really hate about the Fallout series. Take a look at the New Vegas strip. This is a piece of land that's being run by several people with robot guards that can hold conversations. All this in mind, why in the FUCK is there trash everywhere? Trash is fucking EVERYWHERE it's disgusting. They couldn't ask the robots to pick any up? The people living there don't clean anything? What the fuck
>this thread again
>>275793225
>But no. Bethesda is simply a retarded fishfrog.
No, Bethesda is just copying generic post apocalyptic-related shit and putting it in the game(s)
Enclave is best faction
>>275792898
NV is pretty trash, nothing but
>have you been to the new vegas strip yet?!
>oh my god you gotta see the strip it's INCREDIBLE
>holy shit you haven't been yet? You better go right now

>>275793225
I don't even know why we have mutants in fo3.
>>275793527
I can bet my hat they're going to re-use the enclave in the next game.
>>275792130
You already made the exact same thread.
>>275793592
This so fucking hard.
>>275793731
And I'll make it tomorrow to piss off people like you.
>>275793643
Don't small amounts of Enclave troops still exist in, what, Chicago or something? I wouldn't really mind the Enclave being in game so long as it's similar to NVor you fix the Enclave and then lead them to victory
So, what happened to China in the mean time. They seemed victorious? How was the rest of the world doing?
>>275792130

WHERE THE FLYING FUCK IS FALLOUT 4?
DOES BETHESDA NOT WA
>Bombs dropped 200 years ago
>There is still rubble in the streets and rooves missing where people have been living for decades
Seriously what the hell. I get that it's post-apocalyptic, but why would there be doors with rubble blocking them hundreds of years after the war?
>>275793868
>Don't small amounts of Enclave troops still exist in, what, Chicago or something?
there was a small pocket of enclave in chicago but nothing big enough to cause damage.
I don't think we will be able to join the enclave, never ever.
>>275793902
they are dead
all dead
a giant radioactive crater
>>275794013
>WHERE THE FLYING FUCK IS FALLOUT 4?
During an interview back in february the toddler said there won't be a fallout game till the next generation of consoles.
>>275793592
And it's still better than 3
>>275793956
Except everywhere you go everyone's been outside the vaults for decades.
>>275793902

>People keep forgetting that Mr.House built a defense system to destroy any nuke in orbit that came even close to vegas
>People wonder why the capital of the entire country is basically dust and radiation
>>275793527
Man I fucking love the enclave, if they managed to not fuck it up I wouldn't mine them shitting on the story once again and putting them back in.
>>275793835
What an attention whore.
>>275793592
I'm wondering whether or not that was intentional, that people hold this small bit of quasi paradise up to such a high regard because they don't have much else to live for. Of course it's bethesda so it could just be shitty design
>>275794773
It's obsidian actually
And I like to think it's intentional
>>275794136
>there won't be another Fallout for about 6 years
Bullfuckingshit.
>>275794413
No. The first two games were set west of Vegas, and closer to the bombs dropping. The first game everything was mostly a disaster, but there was still minor agriculture, like in Shady Sands. By 2, Shady Sands had become the NCR, and things were generally looking up.
>>275792130
That's the main issue with Fallout 3.
From this aspect, NV surpasses F3.
>>275794136
It hurts that I know I'll never be able to play as an Enclave troop
>>275794434
That'd be a fucking dream come true but it won't happen
>>275794773
It's just shity engine.
>>275792739
>Hit by more bombs
>Anything at all still standing
Can't wait for Bethesda to release Fallout: Neo York and reveal New York survived pretty decently as well.
>>275794773
Consoles could not take their design for the strip or freeside. That's why there are those dumb loading zones everywhere.
Pc fixes that.
>>275794947
not him but this is what the toddler said: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/02/18/apparently-we-wont-hear-about-fallout-4-for-a-while/
>>275795159

In reality, it would probably be flooded due to a tidal wave created by all of those Nukes in DC.

So literally autism
>>275795316
a card game played by two or more people who bet on the value of the hands dealt to them. A player wins the pool either by having the highest combination at the showdown or by forcing all opponents to concede without a showing of the hand, sometimes by means of bluff.
So you're wrong.
>>275793338
because the devs of these games are insanely lazy and just choose a "wasteland" tileset to cover their games in, and they're fucking awful
>>275795159
>look south from rivet city
>tons of buildings in the background
>can't explore them at all
exploring decrepit buildings was the best thing about fallout 3except for point lookout
>>275795316
Actually poker is a specific game. It's the one where you hold 5 cards, discard and draw more. That's called poker, everything else like stud or hold em have their own names
>calling others retarded
>>275794978
>Clean water
>Protection
>Steady supply of food
>Carefree lifestyle
In a world where bandits, mutants and super-wasps roam free, that is a paradise.
>>275795258
And in reality, DC should be a smouldering, glowing crater, but it isn't.
In the advent of an actual nuclear war New York is one place I fully expect to be completely just gone, utterly gone, but I'm sure Bethesda would think up some monkey wrench excuse for how they survived so we could go inside the empire state building or the statue of liberty or something.

Fallout doesn't really do realism well. They need to make a fallout in the style of Operation Metro.
>>275792130
Wait a minute this thread
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/poker
they have poker, moron.
>>275795473
what you described is literally stud. Poker is the genre, stud is the game.
>>275795439
>>275795541
you're dumb and wrong.

Jesus christ stop talking about things you know nothing about
>>275795895
Lol. Freudian slip, my bad. I meant Metro 2033
>>275795279
Because of the fanfic I guess.
The thing that annoys me the most about the Bethesda Fallouts is the lack of story behind the locations in the world.
FO and FO2 had tons of locations and most of them had some kind of story behind them as you sifted through the clues strewn around. FO3 and NV have things like 'Chucklefuck's shack', which is just another shed plonked in the middle of nowhere full of clipboards and fucking leather belts
>>275796056
book or game?
>>275796009
not him, but >>275795578 is wrong. saying NV doesn't have poker is wrong. it does.
>>275796106
>full of clipboards and fucking leather belts
2True
>>275796187
Not that guy but definetly Book
>>275794136
As in, PS5 and Xbox 1000? The fuck? Why wait that long?
>>275796187
The game. I think it's mechanics would fit well in a 3D Fallout (Trading with bullets, Visible ammo, A sneak that somewhat works, Masks with filters, the HUD is physically on your body)
But it's Obsidian and Bethesda we're talking about
>>275794254
I think I know what the Australians are really doing
>>275795980
Science! was always the best thing about Fallout imo. What really set it apart from a lot of other shit
>>275796403
They're probably lying, I wouldn't be surprised if they release something by next Christmas since everyone would have Next Gen consoles by then.
All of the major issues with this game are erased if you pretend that it's only been 20 years or even less
Woah.... only one digit changed...
>>275796218
You stupid or something? There's no Poker in NV. You're confused with Blackjack, they have Blackjack in your shitty game. Not glorious Poker.
>>275796510
Hopefully that Mad Max game will actually be good and do justice to The Road Warrior and Mad Max.
>>275795810
It's all perspective. NCR "takes" from you, House "wins" it from you.
>>275796647
except for the game is still awful.

>>275796735
It's not though, it's fun, it's satisfying. It's certainly a better use of the terrible Gamebryo engine than Oblivion was. Melee combat is absolutely fucking horrid on this engine but at least guns are fun
I had enough fun just pulling off ridiculous VATS kills where people blew into chunks for no reason or ragdolled out. Shot some fucker into space with the launcher you can stick anything in. Plates and teddy bears killing niggas left and right
Guys.
What would a game set in DC 200 years AFTER Fallout 3 look like?
Would the vegetation oasis have spread? Would the Enclave or Brotherhood have an effective government? Whats your two cents?
>>275796775
>red is blue
You see how stupid you sound now? Everyone here keeps telling you to pack your bags and go home but you just keep going ahead and making a fool of yourself if you want.
>>275796945
Anyone who has the least bit of knowledge in poker games knows that the term "poker" refers to the classic 5 card game
>>275796950
That's because they call moonshine mountain dew
>>275797115
oh, there's both a new movie AND a game coming out, huh
>>275797112
>Would the vegetation oasis have spread?
That could make for a graphically beautiful game. Imagine everything covered in choking ivy.
But
>Gamebryo
>>275796885
They come in and start taxing people. It was pretty much the main reason people didn't want them in the Mojave.

I know I know, I think doing a Fallout type game in the Souls engine might be cool. I mean just the engine, not done in the same style or gameplay.
>>275797198
So they're double wrong, then. What did your elementary school teacher tell you about 2 wrongs, anon, assuming you have an education?
>>275797292
I don't see anything wrong with what Airborne Spitfire said. But that doesn't make FO3 good.
Honestly, this is a problem that Fallout has in general, not just 3.
In New Vegas:
-old roads are torn up and cracked; haven't been torn out in towns and replaced with dirt roads or something
-dangerous abandoned houses are still standing and being used
-everything is dirty and broken; no focused attempts to clean and repair have been made
-some semblance of unified government and organized workforces beyond community peacekeepers and farmers are just starting to get established
And all of this is 200 years after the bombs dropped.
>>275795828
Let me guess. You play texas hold em very mediocrely with your friends and are now a poker player and a massive, massive faggot?

It would literally have been Skyrim with guns.
>>275793592
Being an actually vegas fag and avid poker player this feel is 100x worse
>>275796454
The Fallout series has always prided itself on being slightly zany and B-movie science fiction. That's why there's the TARDIS, aliens, giant mutant ants, etc.
I feel a 'realistic' portrayal of the game would do more harm than good.
>>275797605
It's like they forgot that Fallout should be post post-apocalypse.
>>275797292
>ponyfags actually being right
What has the world come to?
>>275797547
this
I liked NV but I didn't like how it really forced you to explore the map in the way it wanted you to for a good portion of the game
>>275797829
200 years post-apocalypse, with no aliens or machines or anything preventing humanity from rebuilding.
>skeleton sat up right next to city enterence
>been chilling there for like 200 years
>check the body
>34 bottlecaps and a pack of smokes
No one in the last 200 years thought to check that dead guys pockets? all the people that walked past it to get into the city NOT ONE thought to look and see if he had shit or even move him?
>>275797937
I don't agree with the"I have to be handheld through games", but he is correct in the fact that NV almost forced you in one direction. Every time I play the game no matter how hard I try, I always find myself ending up in The Strip first.
>>275797948
>200 years post-apocalypse, with no aliens or machines or anything preventing humanity from rebuilding
except for giant deathclaws, murderous roaming robots, giant mutated insects, and high levels of radiation scattered everywhere
>>275798071
It's a video-game, son. Loot needs a chest to be placed in.
>Game loot is realistic
>Find not even one useful thing for the whole game because while you were in the vault for 200 years every useful thing was being scavenged
It may not be a good idea
>>275798247
That's what guns were for.
>>275798071
Its even worse if you think about it.
>its a skeleton
>doesn't even have pockets
>the loot simply layed out in the open
>at best, in it's ribcage or on its hipbones
>>275798167
>I always find myself ending up in The Strip first.
Just do a shit ton of sidequests first. Hell I think I did HH before going near vegas
>>275798425
I did lonesome road before I went into the strip.
>>275797948
Except there were aliens, machines (robots), various mutated fauna, areas with heavy radiation, irradiated water, and no semblance of society or government leading to murderous bandit gangs.
>>275798379
>Having to rob people for decent loot because anything you find in the wastes is literally shit.
Sounds better than you think.
Does FO3 have retarded level-scaling?
>>275798379
Get out of here with your logic and reason
>>275798672
>Becoming bandit scum
>>275798672
I think they should of built up on the Raiders more. In reality, a faction of Raiders would be terrifying.
>>275798247
I don't see those things walking around town.
It makes sense that people wouldn't rebuild in Terminator or zombie apocalypses or whatever, since they can barely go outside, much less start fixing things.
Not the case here.
Also-
>I hate Fallout 3 because there's no way that it should look that way 200 years later!
>Same for New Vegas.
>It's post-apocalypse, of course it looks that way!
Make up your mind, retard. Is making concessions to common sense in the name of atmosphere acceptable or not?
>>275794403
what the fuck is south east asia
>>275798878

>>275798790

>>275798891

>>275799046

>>275798862
>Yfw good karma.
>>275798881
>>275798398
I'm not excusing lazy design but given how dangerous the world outside is I can suspend my disbelief well enough to enjoy it. Really the problem is that they decided to make the game take place so long after FO2
>>275799227
Would help if I used a picture....
>>275793868
We won't get another game in Chicago anytime soon. Publishers will look at Watch_Dogs and be gunshy of anything that relates to it even if it makes no sense whatsoever.
I'm not kidding, this is how stupid publishers and producers are.
>>275798790
>>275799046

Happened in FO3.
>Hardened survivors scared of a young pussy wandered out of his vault.
Also happened in FO3, they got killed easily.
>>275799460
Fallout 3's Reavers were damn tough. NV toned them down a lot.
>>275800021
There was literally nothing wrong with poisoning the waterhole
>>275799647
Actually, the entire point of the series is that no matter what happens, people will continue to war and fight over the same shit for the same reasons never learning from their past mistakes.
That is why they were going to nuke the west again in Van Buren.
Its a cycle.
>>275800195
I don't know if they ever patched it, but I remember they would spaz out occasionally and become invincible for a short whileand that was fucking crazy
>>275794113

go re-read Fallout 1 lore, most countires around the world stopped using the kind of nuclear bombs we have in our world and instead switched to precise tactical nuclear warheads that had a far smaller explosion, but produced many times more radiation.
http://fallout.gamepedia.com/Nuclear_bombs
>In the Fallout world, megaton-class thermonuclear weapons had largely been retired by the major nuclear powers in favor of much smaller-yield warheads by the time of the Great War. An average strategic warhead in 2077 had a yield of about 200-750 kilotons, but with a massive increase in radioactive fallout in place of thermal shock, much like a neutron bomb in our own world. However, despite the apparent reduction in raw explosive power, this arsenal was far more dangerous to the Earth's ecosystem, as it deposited far greater amounts of fallout in the atmosphere than had been assumed by pre-War models.
>>275800438
would be interesting if all towns in DC existed on the fringes because of the radiation and only recently have exploratory parties been entering
the only true settlement in DC is a group of ghouls that are highly unhappy their quiet isolation is being broken and actively try to keep humans out. For the rest all that lives there are barely sapient mutants caused by a higher than average concentration of FEV without a master like figure to turn the mutants useful and a load of irradiated raiders that don't know how dangerous radiation is and basically come there to kill, fuck, get drunk and die

>The Strip is really the only place that's been repaired to a significant degree; also the NCR and Caesar's Legion are invading forces, the Mojave has been left to itself for years and years with no centralized authority

You can enjoy Fallout, just don't be a complete loser and take it seriously. It's just a fun little game, the story itself is garbage.
>>275801605
and before you ask, there is a very damn good reason nobody uses cars and motorcycles: almost all oil in the entire world was used up a few decades before the great war and the little supplies that are left are impossible to reach for the current level of civilization
>>275798379
It's a better idea than you'd think. I was watching myfriendtry to play Fallout 3, and he accidentally installed a mod that made the game much harder than he had intended to make it.
Loot ended up being really rare, so he was constantly toting around 5 different guns with 20 bullets in them each. Every ammunition drop was a godsend, and I still think he has trouble finding water even after he uninstalled the mods. Every water source adds like 30+ Rads, it's fucking ridiculous.
It was fun as fuck to watch, though.

Super common glitch where they pop out of her head. Closer to when the game was released, every fucking Fallout thread had a guy posting about the glitch as if no one had seen it.

Shit dude, that's an amazing idea.

This pisses me off more than anything. I want to fucking see naturally reclaimed landscapes.

Why can't you disgusting fucking normalslime leave this site?
>>275801821
you're the one who takes it serious to begin with
minute you pointed out a plothole is the minute you took it serious
>>275801989
nuclear vehicles were only released to the public a few years before the bombs hit, there are very few around and even less in working condition
>>275793592
say thanks to limited console hardware, bethesda's amazing engine and only 1 year of development granted to the devs, seriously why do they even bother releasing games of this scope on underpowered hardware? It was okay to skip the Wii 1 but GOD forbid that RPG must be on ps360 at all costs! it will surely run with that amount of ram amirite???
fucking idiots
>>275800438
I was actually thinking of New Vegas when I wrote that post, which now makes even less sense since I remembered they were shielded from almost all of their bombs

deepestest fucking lore
>>275801821
Im not the ones you've been arguing with.
I agree that you shouldn't take video game stories and lore seriously, but it enhances the experience if the lore is consistent, deep, and somewhat plausible. At least thats my opinion.
>>275801605
Not him, but there is a lot of shit about NV that doesn't add up
>They say the city wasn't hit in the war because of House.
>99% of the city is leveled for no explainable reason and all the debris is missing.
>They say the water is clean because House deflected most of the misses.
>Every single town's water tower is irradiated for no explainable reason.
>They say they used billboards to make the Vegas walls.
>All billboards still have their signs up and there are no poles from billboards that they took signs down from.
>Vegas was a city basically untouched by the war, and had clean water, but no one was able to make farms, outside of Goodsprngs and Nellis, until the NCR and House showed up 7 years ago.
>On top of that there was no attempts to make civilization, everyone was either wandering nomadic tribes or people who lived in caves and were cannibals.
So they had almost no farms, the only big source of clean water was the lake which is many miles away from most towns in south Vegas, and the local plat and animal life is so small there is no way they could have survived on just that for 200 years without grossly depopulating the local plantlife to near extinction....
so what did they eat?
>>275802065
most of it was in a desert anyway innit
jungley place would be coll
>>275802203
Really? Every vehicle I've ever, EVER found in a fallout game has been nuclear.
>>275802203
Most cars in fo3 and NV were nuclear powered, and according to Avellone, one in 200 people in the NCr has a working car.
>>275802420
Fallout 3 essentially retconned it. The Highwayman from 2 ran on MFCs, I think.
>>275802420
because gas was going at like $7200 a gallon, there weren't any personal vehicles running on it anymore
and really how many vehicles do you find in fallout 1 and 2?
>>275802420
There is a car in the second one that runs on MFCs
>>275802065
Also forgot
>And everything is permanently brown
>>275802649
Not him, but MFC
Micro FUSION cell
aka NUCLEAR FUSION
>>275802472
highwayman in 2 isn't true nuclear powered, its reasonable to assume most vehicles in NCR are similar to it
most cars in 3 were nuclear powered because Bethesda decided it was fun if wars were bombs and most cars in NV are nuclear powered because limited dev time so no chance to create new models

You're a good guy, I don't really think the lore is terrible or anything it's just got a lot of things that make you realize why it's only enjoyed as a game and never anything more.

Yes it is, it runs on micro-fusion cells, mini portable nuclear generators.
>>275802772
everything is a plothole to you because if we provide an explanation it suddenly is LORE THRASH LOL NERD WHY READ
but have fun moving those goalposts
>>275802753

Problem isn't model, it's the explosion, which could have been easily removed or replaced with a normal explosion.
>>275792898
Did they fix the no evil companians in NV yet?
Just started playing it again and got all the DLC that i never had before
>>275802772
Jesus Christ I HOPE this is bait. If not, read the rules. It says that you need to be at least 18 years old to view this site.
>>275795279
Because:
1. Atmosphere
2. Story was more coherent and flashed out
3. The world itself seemed more dangerous and tempting
4. Quest design is light years away from everything Obsidian fools can even dream of
5. No stupid, mostly useless "factions" that only have a few quests and other than that are completely useless
6. The game itself not losing momentum after 15 hours
... to name but a few
>>275802852
true but the way it works is closer to an electric car than an actually full onboard nuclear reactor
they're basically small but powerful batteries
>>275802852
Imagine if MFC's were invented 15 years earlier
>>275798071
And for that matter, why the hell did he have bottlecaps on him? Those weren't accepted as currency pre-war.
>>275803115
MFCs had been around for awhile actually, the problem was they burnt out really quickly.
>>275792130
I can't even play New Vegas anymore because of this, it didn't bother me back when it first released but now it just too ridiculous for me to get immersed in, not even autistic about this type of thing usually but everyone still acting like 50s hipsters, crumbling pre-war buildings everywhere still which everyone still use for housing never even building new settlements is just lazy and dumb.
>>275802328

>Ads in a child's bedroom rather than proper posters
Lazy Bethesda
>>275802956
No the whole thing is trash because it's stupid and only appeals to children and teens. Everyone else knows the story is just a joke, that's why everything in Fallout is so comedic. The writers know it's a joke but you don't, that's just sad.

>>275802772
>You're a good guy
Thanks man.
Yeah when it comes to video games in general, you pretty much always have to suspend your disbelief about something, but that doesn't make it a bad game.
Take Dark Souls for example. The world has a consistency when it comes to world lore and how the combat mechanics work. Attacks, damage and movement all seem realistic for the setting its in, but when it comes to magic and demons and unexplained lore bits, you just have to shrug it off. Doesn't make it a bad game because of it though.
>>275802328
>99% of the city is leveled for no explainable reason and all the debris is missing
The Mojave is a desert. 200 Years of erosion would wear away almost anything. You could make an argument for erosion selectively effecting the Mojave, but it's a fucking video game. There is a perfectly logical explanation.
>Every single town's water tower is irradiated for no explainable reason
The Mojave is full of nuclear waste. There's tons of nuclear waste barrels out in the open, in caves, in buildings. It accumulated in the groundwater over 200 years. There are a lot of fresh water sources in the wastes, like Goodsprings, the tap in Freeside, and the Colorado.
>Billboards
Good point. They could have taken the billboard posts down with the billboards themselves, but you're right.
There are a lot of farms. Goodsprings, Freeside, Westside, and Nellis have their own farms. There's also a lot of previously occupied farmland outside of Westside and Freeside. It's a desert, agriculture, especially in a harsh climate where water sources are contaminated, is difficult. I don't think there needs to be some kind of centralized civilization; the Mojave is composed of roving bands of raiders and tribals - Freeside, Novac, and a few other places kind of organized on their own over time.
>>275803437
you don't either because you took it seriously enough to point out a plot hole
if its a joke why bother?
Unless course, the joke is to intelligent for the likes of you, its possible it happens all the time, you just didn't notice.
>>275803058
Probably b8, but there's plenty of adults that genuinely describe themselves as "smart".
Better to ignore.
>>275803521
I'm well aware. "Most" is the important part. Fallout 3 also had totally gutted rides.
>>275792130
That's how people in the fifties imagined it would be like.
And that's what Fallout is supposed to be: The post-apocalyptic future as imagined by people in 50s. There's obviously going to be some logic fail, but that's the way she goes.
>>275793956
>Wood structures still standing after 200 years of no maintenance and being blown up
>Electricity still works in a lot of places
>Plumbing still works just about everywhere
>Many buildings still largely intact
>Roads are still largely intact; can still see paint on the pavement, interstates are still standing, cement is broken up but still in very large chunks and not gravel
>Pre-war food and drinks haven't rotted away or been eaten yet in 200 years

FO3 looks correct if the game were set 10 years after the bombs dropped. But it's set 200 years later. To put that in perspective, the American revolution was roughly 200 years ago. That's the amount of time we're talking about here. Think about how rare it is to find something left over from the Revolution, much less the Civil War, and that's despite civilization being around the whole time to keep things preserved and in working order.
To give you an idea of just how quickly buildings fall apart when abandoned, here's a picture I took of a building I explored that had only been abandoned for 10 years. Notice how it looks even worse than the buildings you explore in FO3.
>>275803325
They made buildings. Not a whole lot but there are a few. And they did make settlements look at jacobstown and new vegas. They built a wall around new vegas and the gun runners place. The sharecroppers is full of little buildings put together from scrap too.
>>275803198
nah according to the wiki MFC's had been around only for a short time
>>275803064
>The game itself not losing momentum after 15 hours
if you don't have something, sure as fuck you won't lose it
>>275803692
And here's what happened to the generator room after 10 years of neglect.
>>275802328
>so what did they eat?
preserved food from before the war, like fallout 3
local flora and fauna - like half the vendors in the game carry gecko / brahmin / bighorner food
crops like maize when they could
stuff
apparently there are bighorner and brahmin barons in the west, too

The ruined books were the worst. Trash at least has the potential to be useful, cans for containers, maybe some sentimental value to shit like a rollerskate.

Shit was straight out of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Had to go around with a gas mask on too the whole time because of all the asbestos and mold.

Get out of herestalker.
>>275804445
I remember when a few friends of mine started hatching a plot to explore some abandoned silos before they got taken down, I fucking insisted I went because they were all idiots who didn't understand what they were doing. Forced them all to bring masks and I packed a first aid kit, plus I actually had the qualifications to use the damn thing. Went well, all things considered.
>>275804303
Nope, Georgia. They tore the place down a few years ago sadly. A real shame, it was so cool. Was made up of several buildings on a campus all connected through underground tunnels that were littered with gurneys and wheelchairs and shit. Also had an abandoned greenhouse and mansion on the campus too.
>>275804779
I've never quite understood how building just get left behind like that.
