Is Shady Sands In Fallout New Vegas Answered

Is Shady Sands in Fallout: New Vegas?

Shady Sands is not in Fallout: New Vegas even though, according to the original Fallout game, you might just be able to reach it on foot. The difference is that Fallout 1 and 2 had you crossing big blank chunks of wilderness off-screen, while Fallout 3 and subsequent games let you walk from one end of the map to another, seeing everything along the way. So, the area featured in Fallout: New Vegas is big, encompassing a huge chunk of the Mojave Desert and Las Vegas, but it’s not big enough that it could reach where the settlement is supposed to be. Things are also complicated by the fact that, there are several potential locations for Shady Sands. So, if we do get to visit Shady Sands again, it’ll probably be a massive crater, just as it was in the show. Though the show did seem to relocate the settlement closer to LA, which raises some other questions. But, hey, it’s a pretty awesome show, discrepancies or not. You can actually visit the real-life location of Goodsprings, the location where Fallout: New Vegas starts, and it’s played host to two Fallout-themed events. But as to whether Shady Sands is in Fallout: New Vegas, no it’s not.
