Talk:Los

Los Angeles
Are you sure it's Lost Angeles? Los Angeles is FO1's Boneyard, I don't think even FOBOS devs would make this kind of mistake.. Google search for "Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel" and "Los Angeles" brings no such results. Ausir 10:27, 27 Jul 2005 (CEST)

Houston?
Is it possible that Los is Houston? And the huge bridge is the sam houston ship channel bridge? It would have to be a port city, and it says a great Texas metropolis. Anyway it makes sense to me. OR it could be on galveston island which is right next to Houston.


 * Impossible, Los was named " Los -something- " before the Great War. I'm try to find information but I think I know what city is it, I'll put it on the page after I built the text ;). Itachou [~talk~ 00:48, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Seriously, Los Ybanez? It's in northwest texas! Far from water and it only has 32 people, not even close to being called a metropolis. Los Fresnos on the other hand is southeast texas AND is right next to the gulf of mexico with a much larger population. Unless you are positive and have proof to back you up, you shouldn't put wrong info like that on the page.

Dallas?
I've actually had to do a rather large amount of research on this for something and came to a totally different conclusion. I released a youtube video to explain my findings in better detail.

Comparing the skyines of Los to that of important cities in Texas I discovered that it is a match to Dallas, both times in the games outro. In addition to this the city is off the coast and surrounded by natural lakes, thus explains the docks. I also explain how if the lakes and drainage river dry out the city would appear to be surrounded by mountains. Also, like Los Ybanez, Dallas is North of Carbon, and yet also closer to Carbon.

Los Ybanez lacks the water for the docks, the trainyards and other infrastructure to be Los, and most importantly does not have the skyline to support the claim. More in likely Los is actually a reference to Lamesa TX rather than Los Ybanez. Even then it is not a match.

I can also explain the name: Dallas=Las=Los, much like how Pittsburgh=Pitt, and how Toronto=Ronto. The name could have simply changed over time.

Here is the link to my youtube video where I thoroughly debunk the lore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djeJaRrxEGU JCDenton2012 [~talk~ 06:54, June 07, 2014 (UTC)


 * Good research, so I'm convinced. Trying to find out the bastardized is always something, like how it took years after the first Fallout for anyone to figure out that Dayglow is San Diego. Anyway, if you want to change Los Ybanez to Dallas, it's fine with me. Shadowrunner(stuff) 02:40, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I could be convinced as well, but I would really appreciate some confirmation from someone like Chris Pasetto or Trevor Snowden. Saying this is Dallas is just as conjectural as saying it's Los Ybanez, but we've had that conjecture for several years and no problems. --Kastera (talk) 02:50, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
 * If only we could get the dialogue files AND the Guide for that game.--Ant2242 (talk) 04:07, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll look into providing a better video (without the audio sounding quite so horrible), and then see if I can make contact with somebody capable of giving me greater clarification before altering anything on the site. I don't want to change established lore quite so quickly without having ironclad support from a former or current Dev. Best to keep things professional for the time being. --JCDenton2012 (talk) 0412:58, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
