Which Wasteland was the most appealing to you? Why?

Personally, the Capitol Wasteland will always have a special place in my heart.

Mojave, all the way. DC was neat, aesthetically, but it didn't make any sense. FO3 was, what, ~200 years after The Great War? And still nobody has bothered to deal with these gigantic mountains of rubble everywhere? Yeah, DC got hit harder, but c'mon. It looked like the bomb went off yesterday.

Mojave, I for some reason find it more appealing and I also like that its not always so gloomy and cloudy like DC. Though, I do love the Capital Wasteland too. I like the random encounters that DC has, I wish Mojave had as many.

I think of it like this, the Mojave reminds me of Mad Max. When I play FNV I kind of feel like I'm in the Mad Max universe, with less awesome cars, which is cool. However, the Capital Wasteland makes me feel like I'm in Fallout's universe, a unique feel. So, while I love both space's, I've gotta go with DC.

All opinions are valid answers. But for me, DC felt more of fight for survival and correct me if I'm wrong, is bigger than the Mojave. Mojave just feels too tame to be a Wasteland. It feels more like a frontier than a wasteland to me. The gloomy, dark mood of Fallout 3 truly felt like you could die any time.

True, the DC Wasteland was more dangerous and the gloom did add to the feeling of death being around the nearest rock, but Mojave will always be my favorite, but I also use TTW, so best of both worlds.

I could never get TTW to work, but I might check out the alt for it in the mod forums. I forgot what it was called, I think Fo3NV

*edit

For me it has to be DC. I loved the Mojave, I thought it was a harsh environment if you were role-playing it. But OOC, it felt a bit too western-y. It just didnt feel like a *True* Fallout game. Still liked it, but DC will always be the wasteland I like better

Wait so is DC bigger than the Mojave or is my brain just extremely biased

Not sure tbh. I think most of the Mojave map was just the Vegas strip. However there were stuff around it. However I think DC was bigger. You had the DC ruins, the river, Paradise falls etc. Lots of places.

Yup, its bigger, by a good bit, if I'm not mistaken.

See i knew DC felt bigger. It actually takes an hour or two of real time to walk from one corner of the map to the complete opposite without fast travel. Me so smart

^_^ Climbing over rubble and fighting Mirelurks *cough* Werent in FNV *cough* Will always be a good memory.

RIP mirelurks. RIP swamp people. RIP Deputy Weld, ect.

Man I miss the Swamp People... I would always feel like I was truly doing the world a favor by offing them.

Eh, mirelurks weren't really my favorite thing, they were kind of boring to me. Though, the amount of deathclaws and supermutant behemoths made the DC Wasteland tougher and more combat worthy, that's for sure. Did like the swamp people though.

Edit: Also, the supermutant overlords were awesome imo

Rant Pt. 2

RIP Super mutant behemoths, RIP super mutant overlords, RIP trogs. Trogs were genuinely terrifying for me.

Trogs make Tunneler's look like stuffed animals.

Ikr, the first time I saw those little creeps I was wishing I had the Experimental M.I.R.V with me lol

Tunnelers aren't even pimples on the asses of trogs. Neither are spore carriers.
