"I wonder if Texas^H^H^H^H Washington DC survived the war..."

F3 may be taking placing between F1 and F2, so we might see both Harold and Marcus along the way, but seriously, there's a limit to how much old stuff I want in Fallout 3. You can stay true to the world setting without regurgitating everything from the first two games.

Harold is immortal.

I stand by my determined belief of the last ten years that in Fallout 3, Harold will be an oracle of old-world knowledge INSIDE a tree, Bob having taken root in the ground and thrived after Harold was knocked over by a nuka cola van in the desert and spent some weeks in a coma.

They are now a symbiotic lifeform surrounded by a small religious community. Harold the Tree speaks disparagingly of his followers but secretly enjoys being a prophet.

Where'd Harold come from anyway? Yeah, Vault 29, but where was it located?

Harold had forgotten where 29 was from in the first Fallout he had said something along the lines of "It as way out east- no west. I don't know anymore."

Anyway, in Van Buren Harold went around trying to find a cure for a sickness that Bob had developed and he wandered around for a long time, then a bunch of tribals told him about a pre-war plant nursery, so he went there looking for a cure, but once he got there it wouldn't let him leave because the complex deemed Bob an endangered species, which the complex was designed to protect, so it wouldn't let him leave. So then whenever you stumble across the nursery Harold asks if you can find the cure for Bob's ailment.

At least I think so.

Personally I hope they use mostly everything that would have been in Van Buren. Except it would have had to include the NCR taking over about the entire country, and the BoS somehow getting across the entire country to hassle the NCR, whom they had been at war with since a little after the end of FO2. Caesar's Legion would be awesome to be included, especially sense their main base was to the east of Texas, which means running across them might actually be plausible. That said, Caesar's slaving industry (which he conducted heavily on the west coast from Van Buren's back story) makes it likely that he could have enslaved characters from FO2 and transported them to the east and by chance you would liberate them. That, however, would be very far fetched.

Look, Van Buren is dead, and Bethesda can make the NCR and the Brotherhood BFF shortly after FO2.

Any kind of speculation is a waste of time.

At this stage in the game's development (since we have no idea what they're planning), I think any speculation is worthwhile, it'll at least keep your mind off of the doomed game it will be.

I'm not sure the Van Buren plotline would have gone down so well here. Sure, it had Caesar's Legion and the Daughters of Hecate (which was cool) but the story starts with - you guessed it - an amnesiac character waking up in a prison, trying to figure out what brought him there.

Maybe it would have been like Planescape: Torment but in Fallout.

Yeah, I kinda disliked the VB plot myself, the start at least, and the space aspect to it.

Tho I liked the whole SOMETHING will get nuked no matter what part.
