The wastelands, after WW3 the entire world was turned into a wastelands. There were over three hundred vaults spread out over the world (180 of them in the states) these vaults were for the rich, government officials so that when the vaults opened there would be a government, then once they had places in the best vaults then there was a lottery for families to get into vaults. Many thousands of people never made it to the vaults but some survived the brutal nuclear assault now 300 years later some of those vaults are opening and the survivors are leaving there vaults to explore the wastelands<br/><br/>(I know shot but I'm doing this on a phone)<br/><br/>The ambient radiation has caused local wild life to mutate though oddly dogs have remained largely unaffected by the radiation. Other creatures were not so lucky scorpions that can be as five feet or higher, mole rats the size of dogs, ants also as big as dogs, ants capable of spraying flames up to ten feet away (yep fire ants)<br/><br/>Will you be a vault dweller with little knowledge of the outside but new gear and and unique skills, or are you a wasteland survivor who knows how to live off the land and what dangers to avoid.<br/><br/>(Base knowledge is from fallout 3-vegas but I'm also doing things my way.)
