I don't either. I don't know why they put the time period so far in the future. Things could be happening on the west coast and east coast at the same time and not affecting either

My American geography isn't super great, but I am somewhat sure that New Vegas is somewhere in Nevada, which is closer to the west coast.

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.

They had a really really really stupid story they wanted to tell that had to ignore a ton of fallout lore, so they gave the east coast a bunch of silly shit with bad excuses about things. Civilization isnt recovering pretty much at all on the east coast because (blah blah). The BOS is just the blades with laser guns here because of (blah blah blah). Super mutants are just orcs on the east coast because (blah blah blah)

It uses the same shitty engine that Bethesda uses so that's only a little true

I went to Fremont to help build that Tesla site out there a year ago.

It was incredibly expensive. Even though Californians are very quick to point fingers and call people prejudice, I couldn't help but notice that they had driven all the low income people out of their community.

I mean, pretty much this-- they set FO3 (the first one they made) right around where the studio is.

Plus, honestly, I think it's better that they do more new locations (like Boston for FO4) instead of going back to the West Coast again.

They made the piece of crap game engine it used, and they published it.

The West Coast further in the timeline has basically established that has become the most stable part of the United States now due to a revived government via NCR, and accomplished a lot of challenges to re-establish society again.

Maybe they felt that wouldn't fit too well with players idea of a doom and gloom looking world.

I think most of it is to avoid breaking Lore.

Fallout fans flipped their shit when Fallout 4 had pre-war characters referencing Jet.
