Forum:How cool would it be...

Now, I haven't played much Fallout 1 and I've never played Fallout 2 so I don't know if it's been done, but how cool would it be if a section of the desert in New Vegas was turned to glass from atomic bombs!?!?!?!?! I don't know if it's possible IRL, but it seems like in theory that could happen from all of the heat and sand, and that's a phrase that's always used about the war in the middle east.

 * It hasn't been done that I remember. And it would be pretty nifty. //--Run4urLife! 20:41, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I can see it now... The Glass Plain! With pre-war animals trapped inside! AngryNorwegianDude 11:00, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Oh, how cute... Not gritty and realistic enough for you, or what? Fallout is Science!-based. not science-based. Huge glass plains are more realistic than feral rad-zombies with flaky skin. It COULD be. AngryNorwegianDude 16:58, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * For people who think that this is too unrealistic need to think again. Such a thing can happen from enormous amouts of heat on the sands surface. I'm not sure if an atomic bomb could because it blasts all debris up into the atmosphere, but there are actually things similar to this. Although, it's not ice, there wouldn't be animals trapped under it, and it wouldn't be very clean glass, instead it'd be real dirty/murky glass. You can find tubes of glass where lightning strikes sand. --Esscex 20:35, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, maybe not trapped animals... But glass is a possible feature. I wonder what will happen to Vegas itself, though? Is it still the same capital city of neon, or is it just a burnt-out skeleton? Considering that it is situated in Nevada, it probably didn't take that much of a hit from the bombs. Or maybe it was hit pretty badly, and looks similar to the Boneyard... Any thoughts?

 * This is real - see trinitite, etc. --82.45.62.60

i think it was hit pretty badly cuz there are alot of Military bases there and therefore makes it a good target for the bombs(ICBMs) i just hope that this time the wasteland is alot bigger and i rrrly hope if after a few games they can integrate them into a big one covering most of the states and maby some other contreys
 * I hope there is a quest which involves something to do with Area 51. Anyone else?  *Sheldonlt*

in the hiroshima bombing most of the sand and dirt did turn to glass so in a desert area it is highly possible, althogh the galss would not be very deep i don't think. it would be more like giant plates of glass floaing on a sea of sand and shifting around like tectonic plates.

there could be giant worms that come out of the ground and sunken buildings, caves and stuff. there could be some sort of cult worshiping an undetinated bomb under the glass in a giant cave, or a giant mutated lizard (like godzilla)
