This perfectly describes why Fallout 3's world felt like a dumb theme park. All of the locations were stupid and it was impossible to be emotionally invested in anything because of the sheer improbabilty of how and why such a place could even exist.
Why is there a village entirely populated by children? Why is there a raider hideout where they have a gigantic, high-maintenance Super Mutant kept in a pen? Why does the grocery store still have supplies even though it should have been picked clean after so many years?
Moreover, there is no grander sense of these locations being related to one another. There is no sense of economy, trade, communication. Everythign just exists in a vacuum because that's literally how thoughtless the world design was.

This, out of all the new fallouts 3 is the only one that actually feels like a nuclear war has destroyed everything. NV was wacky cowboy western adventure, 4 was wacky 1950's theme park ride and I dont even want to think about 76. The tone seems to be getting worse with every installment.

Sorry, but the tonal dissonance with 3's dreary atmosphere being suddenly punctuated by stereotypical Russian pimps, a superhero battle between a guy dressed like a robot fighting lady dressed like an ant, and villages populated by foul-mouthed children makes the whole gritty and dreary tone feel disingenuous and LARPy.

Maybe use it like a war elephant or maybe they countdnt kill it >Why does the grocery store still have supplies even though it should have been picked clean after so many years? The raiders were living there and were keeping supplies in it.
