** The Dweller's Robo-butler (who, like most other Mr. Handy's, survived the blasts) tells him it's been "200" years since he was put into stasis, placing this game in 2277, the same year as ''3''. However, it's unknown if this is accurate, or simply an approximation. It could easily be something like 205 years, which would place the game a year after the events of ''New Vegas.''

** Truth is, we have yet to find out what year it'll be set. For all we know, we either jump forward a hundred years to 2380, or we're back in 2277.

** There's no reason why the game can't be set before New Vegas. The plots of the two games are unlikely to intersect, and setting it before actually frees up Caesar's Legion to have a possible role in the plot (Caesar tried to scout east after his failure at the First Battle of Hoover Dam).

*** According to the Fallout Bible, Fallout 3 should ''not'' have been possible to even do. Washington DC wasn't just nuked to Hell. It was nuked to oblivion! The Chinese knew that DC was the capital, and focused more nukes on it alone than any other city or region. We're talking the entire region being turned to scorched earth, and then that scorched earth was turned into [[NoKillLikeOverkill scorched earth]]. For many fans, Fallout 3 shouldn't be canon to the source material. But it is, and the Fallout Bible has been partially {{Retcon}}ned out. My point is to reiterate that Boston wasn't as important a target as DC was.

*** Bear in mind though, only the Institute is described in 3 as being technologically advanced. The Commonwealth IS described in 3 as being largely a bombed-out hellhole.
*** [[HollywoodGeography Boston is over 400 miles from Washington, actually.]] This might not make that big a difference in real life as far as actual fallout goes, but it does in this universe.

**Washington, DC got absolutely obliterated because it was the capital city, its likely New York City was hit just as hard, but Boston was mostly spared on account of it (at least in whoever launched the strike's eyes) not being a critical city and thus only got hit with a few missiles.

to:

** Another in-universe justification: D.C. was targeted by far more bombs than anywhere else in the country, what with being the capital and all, which is why even after two centuries it was still a collapsed and broken mess. Boston could have been hit extremely hard (and it's mentioned that more bombs hit the East Coast in general, because higher population), but ''nowhere'' took it as hard as Washington.

to:

** Furthermore, considering the tech at The Institute, it wouldn't be surprising if they had something similar to what House had in Vegas. It makes sense that Bethesda would go the extra mile to not make Boston microscopic, due to the sheer amount of rage that the size of New Vegas caused.

*** Washington STATE is on the west coast, but Washington DC (Where Fallout 3 was set) is on the east coast, not particularly far from Massachusetts. As for the question? The Commonwealth is supposedly a technological juggernaut, so they may have done some rebuilding.
**** The Game takes place over a hundred years after the bombs hit and people are beginning to rebuild.
***** Fallout 4 is likely to be set in late 23rd or early 24th century, so that's a lot of time to rebuild everything from scratch

* A lame question that will probably be answered in the game, but why does Boston look so... Good? I mean, compared to DC, it looks practically undamaged. While it will be explained, why does Boston, one of the key cities of the world, look so good? Heck, even Los Angeles is a city of bones, and it's as important as Boston.
