Forum:Mojave vs Capital Wasteland

What Wasteland do you find much more vast, difficult, and that has "wastelandy" feel to it. Id have to pick the Capital Wasteland, it is much more difficult and much more grim, the Mojave Wasteland feels to "alive" and green. But don't get me wrong I love both of these wastelands. But by far the Capital Wasteland is supreme.

And sorry if I didnt say Hi! Im new so please go easy on me

God, for an asshole like me, I sure do like dicks up my ass. 23:55, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

Wastelandy? I'd have to say the Capital Wasteland (even though the Mojave is better...) because it doesn't have any government like the NCR or civilization like New Vegas. Ranger Sarina 02:02, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Guess who's back, it's Zachattak471. I would pick the Capital Wasteland for wastelandy. It really took the familar landmarks we knew like the Lincoln Memorial and Capital Buildings and changed it in a way that became alien. I understand that it was blown to pieces almost but something else makes it alien to me, maybe its the hostileties that have taken them over and thinking of now how they are safe and secure and protected landmarks. The Capital Wasteland also used to be a forrested area which most of America is in a forrested area and not a desert like the Mojave Wasteland. All those trees, gone, burned, laying on the ground, its saddening. There are also a high number of schools in the Capital Wastlenad that were destroyed during the Great War and since the Great War took place on a Monday mid-day hours, all those children that parished while in class with friends. Its sickening thought. For everything, the Capital Wsteland is more interesting, creepy, and tells a story better than all the other wastelands. Each location had a story almost, like finding a car with two lovers on the hood looking over a scenic view when the bombs dropped. For difficulty and detail, the Capital Wasteland lacks. Its alot of the same stuff throughout the Capital Wasteland when it comes to enemies and creatures and design models. The Mojave was more detail and I saw how good that detail was with Goodsprings and Vegas. For Vastness the Mojave wins hands on for being a desert region where looking out across a the sky and seeing those immense mountains and between you and them is nothing but sand and dirt and maybe a radscorpian.

 * Actually, the Capital Wasteland used to be a swamp. I prefer the Capital's feel, but I like the gameplay of the Mojave. Minor Edits 03:22, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm..... whichever is more "wastelandy"? I would have to say the Capital Wasteland. Unlike New Vegas, Capital of American DC didn't have a nice little missile defense system set in place to swat those pesky Chinese nukes out of the sky. So when those nukes hit, they hit hard. There are bombed out locations all around DC, vast stretches of dead, barren trees and plants, dried up, crusty, filthy pools of contaminated water, and a general sense of bleakness that overlays both the wasteland itself and the cities which the survivors live in. Mojave was mostly spared from the nuclear destruction, so by result it generally looks better, with more trees and vegetation across the state.--Black Artist 03:33, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

In all ways, I prefer the Capital Wasteland. In my opinion, IN MY OPINION, it seems much more vast and desolate than the Mojave. There are more crumbling piles of rock, more falling buildings, more sites/sights to see. Just walking out of Vault 101 and seeing Megaton, the monument, and the capital building awed me. So far, the only two cool things i've seen in the distance in the mojave are the Mojave outpost statue and the Lucky 38 tower. I believe the random NPCs(wastelanders, raiders) also have better placement in F3(and there are more of them0. When it comes to the environment, there just aren't any places like springvale or Andale around the Mojave. TheConvictsSUCK 03:47, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

I'd have to say that the Capital Wasteland was much more "Wastelandy" however, that is because that was meant to be what the game was based around: desperation, exhaustion, isolation, and the overall defeat of humanity and its unity. However, FNV was based around the premise of it NOT being drastically effected by the nuclear holocaust, and thus because of this it fits the MO perfectly. Both meet the standards perfectly.

I think that the capitol wasteland is better because its an example of what a large area of land might become if theres a devastating nuclear war. The Mojave is nice and all but its too flat. In the Capitol Wasteland i rememeber going up this big hill and at the top theres this huge expanse layed out in front of me. All in all the better wasteland is the Capitol.
