Was Fallout 3 Meant to Take Place Sooner? | Why the Capital Wasteland Doesn’t Feel 200 Years Old
1,200Fallout 3 is set in the year 2277, two centuries after the bombs fell. But for years, players have pointed out that the game’s world doesn’t always feel like it’s been 200 years. Settlements, infrastructure, and even NPC dialogue seem frozen in time.
This has led to a long-running theory: that Fallout 3 was originally written to take place much closer to the Great War, but was pushed forward in the timeline to fit Fallout’s larger narrative.
In this video, we’ll break down the theory, go over the good arguments, the weak ones, and ultimately ask: was Fallout 3 really meant to take place sooner?
