vitaanteacta | A very short post about Area Zero

Cincy posted this in some Call of Duty kincord a while ago, and I think it's important enough to put here so we don't lose it. - Tonopah

My best tl;dr of the Warm Springs = Area Zero thing:

Tycho mythologized a futute of greater cooperation, we mythologized a past of a lot of things but also specifically greater cooperation, we believed we were basically relics unchanged by the apocalypse walking out into the future even though we weren't, everyone else had a really hard time getting there, locals viewed it as an inaccessible place of riches, it's both set in the future in regards to now and the past in regards to New Vegas, ~~it's pretty and Beasts live there~~

And we kinda see it as... the apocalypse didn't change the landscape that much and there's never been significant human settlement there that we're aware of. The biggest difference between our Warm Springs and this Warm Springs is that there aren't Desert Rangers here. If we go there and bring us there we're merging realities in a way that matters to us. Like happens in ScarVi.

They're both really liminal places trapped between mythologized past and mythologized future. The Old West and Fallout.
