One question about Fallout: New Vegas

[MatParker116]

How the hell in a post apocalyptic wasteland does Vegas have reliable power?

 

[leighjet]

i dont know but im sure it will be explained in the game

 

[Nitpicker of the Wastes]

Nuclear generators. Same as the cars.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

You can accomplish a lot in 200 years.

Plus, wasn't there still working power plants in FO2?

 

[Mrkittycat]

The power of the strippers?

 

[EMFCRACKSHOT]

Well, there is that big hydro electric dam type thingy nearby. Maybe that has something to do with it?

 

[Alterac Barry]

Hoover Dam? And ye the ghouls had nuclear power working in FO2

 

[Daveman]

Wait... doesn't everywhere else have some power source... is it that far-fetched for somebody to have fixed it? Or it might be a totally new rebuilt place, hence New Vegas... I'm just guessing here, I've barely been keeping up with this...

From what I remember the Hoover dam is the NCR capital and was the sight of a massive war.

I would be more excited if the game wasn't being developed by Obsidian.

It's just not Fallout without Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky.

I thought the actual installation survived though? And its the only logical reason that i can think of.

It was a hydrophonics and evil genetic experiments centre besides the fallout would have corroded most of the generators.

Is it a God damn (who gets the referance) Also that what I was going to say.

 

[paragon1]

Could be any number of the things. Hell, cars had FUSION GENERATORS. Turning the lights on shouldn't be too hard.

 

[Axolotl]

NCR, Vault City, New Reno, The Brotherhood, The Glow, Mariposa, San Fran and The Oil Rig all had power,

Just because Bethesda fail at setting design doesn't mean everyone else has to.

There are still two working generators. Whether or not these are enough to power las vegas i know not

I'm assuming the "luck" SPECIAL stat will be of extra use in new vegas and maybe the gambling skill will make a comeback(?).

 

[Flamezdudes]

NEW Vegas. They rebuilt it i'm guessing.

I think this vegas will be more of the scummy underworld night spot, though gambling would be pretty cool!

If they could power the vaults then a city should be easy. I'm sure it'll all be explained

No, but really I have to agree, nuclear power is the future.
