There was a shooting star in the sky
It flew over the Mojave desert
And landed, bullseye

very silly, sun-crazed anon here; this time with a question for Courier 6:
What is your favorite caliber, and how far away did you hit something with it?

I also believe deep down in my soul that if Raul got to keep his mustache after he was ghoulified, so can Dean
I’m also working on a courier oc

C'mon, Arcade. If a guy has his robotics perk maxed out, he's gonna USE it.
Colton has SO many ideas for Securitron body and weapon mods. His hope is that years down the line they'll be able to get a Securitron production line going again. (using blue-prints/plans from the Securitron de-construction plant from Big MT, though he hasn't settled on a secure location yet)
Ya can't run New Vegas and help protect Mojave settlements with a finite amount of robots. Repairs won't do much to a completely trashed unit, gotta be able to actually create more.
But Colton doesn't have the time or resources for that undertaking at the moment. So instead he'll satisfy his tinkering habit in his workshop with Yes Man's input.

How Much Territory Are the Fallout Player Characters Actually Micromanaging: An Analysis
I did some amateur research to figure out which of the Fallout protagonists (specifically 3, NV, and 4) have a reasonable area of land to constantly traverse. I used Apple Maps to find the straightest possible walking path from a point on either end of the game map, then multiplied the north-south and east-west figures to get an approximate square mileage. Since none of the walking paths were completely straight, these numbers will all be a little higher than actual. BUT the game maps also don’t completely correlate to the real-life locations, so consider these numbers to be estimates.
The Commonwealth: Around 600 square miles. This is honestly pretty manageable, especially if you’re teleporting or helicoptering all over the place. It would be exhausting, but you could theoretically get across the map in a day with time to spare for questing.
The Capital Wasteland: Around 800 square miles. Fairfax is the halfway point; very few locations on the western half of the map actually correspond to anything in real life. The exception is the cavern Little Lamplight is based on, which would make the game map 100 miles long. The map definitely doesn’t extend that far into Virginia.
New Vegas: Kind of hard to calculate at this scale, but we’re looking at a little under 3000 square miles! Through. the Mojave. Desert. The Courier is really going to have to commit to a course of action before traveling, because they won’t be coming back for about a week.
If you’re a fanfic writer, remember that you don’t owe realism to anyone. BUT, if realism is something you care about for your writing, keep these distances in mind!
(Sequel: distance from game maps to DLCs)
