People obsessed with what rather than why. World building literally doesn’t matter. There are story telling reasons for why the world is this way. It’s telling a soon after post apocalypse story regardless of whether they say it’s 200 years or 1000 years after the bombs. Sure “the lore” doesn’t make sense but who cares? The writing is bad for other reasons than nerd bs like “um actually human zombies made by radiation couldn’t exist, skeletons would deteriate if left in the open for 200 years, etc…”
This way of reading stories aggravates me to no end. They wanted the reader to be reminded of the sins of the past at every corner. They wanted American capitalism and fascism to strike fear into the players heart. Did they succeed? Not really in fallout 4.

By Fallout 76, the “nuclear war is frightening to even imagine” vibes of The Glow in Fallout 1 had been completely swept away in favor of “LOL GET TEH LAUNCH CODES TO NUKE TEH MAP TO SPAWN LE EPIC LOOT”
