The Bethesda fallout games take place 200 years after the Great War.
Imagine walking around America today and someone has the Skelton of a revolutionary war soldier in their half burnt house. Or finding a flintlock from 1760 in someone’s desk and it’s in mint condition. That’s what every Bethesda game has
Honestly, I wrote 200 years initially then couldn’t remember if they were actually that dumb, second guessed myself, and hedged on “decades.”
But yes, realizing that many places in America would have been uninhabited wilderness 200 years before today, the idea that major metro areas would still be untouched ruins 200 years after the war is just ludicrous.
I just put all this stuff in the same “ignore it for the gameplay” box as torches still being lit in ancient tombs and backwoods merchants accepting 1000 year old gold coins as currency for buying beef jerky or magic shields or whatever.
