Over 100 years after a nuclear war and you still couldn't make a luxury hotel NOT look so unsanitary.

inb4 IT WASN'T OBSIDIAN'S FAULT!!!

Even though these games have a 1960s and earlier motif, the knowledge on how to do that was probably lost over a century ago, the books and videos that had the info were likely for the most part destroyed in the war and most of the people who probably had knowledge on that would be dead by the time Fallout's plot takes place.

Pretty sure most NPCs were born in vaults, they probably didn't need the knowledge to know how to rebuild an up to health standards civilization in about 3 years give or take cause they were expected to live in the vaults for the rest of their lives

>nobody ever cared cleaning up in 200 years despite being next to The Strip (which is literally just a strip)

The entire theme is that mankind is living in an era where the "Good old days" are gone, and now they reside in a broken down husk of what once was, trying to emulate how they think civilized people used to live, despite none of them actually knowing anything about that.

It's repeatedly said in-game that the three groups that run New Vegas's cosinos are just trashy savages dressed up in suits by Mr. House. Why the hell would any of them clean up anything, and why the hell would anyone know any better?

The only person in New Vegas that's still around from the timeframe that's being emulated is Mr. House. This is why the Lucky 38 is actually clean and relatively well-kept for a 200 year old building.

TL;DR: Use your fucking brain you fucking idiots.

It's literally a role playing game where all of the NPC characters are playing their own role playing game.
>>
>>330541004
Mr House should have told them to clean the place up
>>
>>330541095

Why the fuck would Mr.House care about cleaning up hotels when he wants to get control of them Robots in Legion's camp first.

>getting a swimming pool and sauna to work

This excuse of yours will never not be irredemable, retard

>Game is set 200 years since the bombs dropped
>Still dust in the atmosphere like they dropped yesterday

>>330541923
If not the nuclear wastes, the Powder Gangers and Boomers are probably the reason for that

>Figuring out piping and running water is a priority over painting walls that no one case about.
I know you're grasping at straws, but at least think before you post.
>>
>>330541923
The game takes place in a fucking desert.

>>330542183

You're right I forgot about how everyone in Las Vegas has to wear rebreathers and protective clothing because of all the dust in the atmosphere there

Ain't no logic in there chief.

>making the place people pay you to sleep at not look like a depressive mess is pushing it

Yeah it's a bit weird but I guess everyone else in the Wasteland lives in a shithole so a dirty hotel room with working lights etc. would be luxurious by comparison.

so, cleaning and maintaining a proper place is something that our society created then?

>>330541004
>use elevators
>wear suits
>use guns, computers, saunas, drink wine and beer
>too retarded to hire cleaning personell, carpeters, etc because savages

>Knowledge on how to clean walls

These people can dress themselves and jerry-rig plasma weapons, but they don't know how to mop.
>>
>>330541004
I get what you're saying, but the lucky 38 is clean because its been totally static for all that time.
>>
>>330541004
so so close buy the theme is more along the lines of recreating the new world in the image of the old.

the familys running the strip are dressed up and civilized by Mr. House.

the actual reasons would then have to be that either that they don't know where to get concrete and steel to repair the shit shit as well as getting the supplies to clean of and even paint the shit, they could also maybe got all the stuff to repair the stuff but instead those things are used for other things considered more important, or maybe even Mr.House just may have instructed them to leave it as is to like i dunno make his shit look even better by comparison. Oh and even then it could just have be a technical game development thing like from time constraints to memory concerns or some shit or even maybe just straight up laziness so those who played fallout 3 could forever be reminiscent of all the god damned metro tunnels.
so it probably is just a thematic lazy thing done due to time concern as to ease the development load for obsidian

>>330542105
I'm generally with you but oh wow are you actually retarded? There's all kinds of mold on those walls and other shit.
