Yeah of course, I more meant major event wise since the bombs dropped. Think it was just the writing of Fallout 3 that made it seem like there was just piles of rocks when the Brotherhood wandered out there.

That said, I'm cool with the East Coast and I'm sure everyone will come up with solid ideas.

I agree the bethesdism of having the world in fo3/4 be as if the bombs dropped only yesterday is stupid. However, a very large portion of the territory we will be playing in will not be covered by canon, and hence there is the freedom to create something that has actually done a lot of rebuilding like we see in the West Coast.
