While we see societies being swiftly rebuilt in Fallout: New Vegas, the Commonwealth is suffering. The East Coast, where Fallout 4 takes place, did not recover as quickly as the West Coast. They were forced to rebuild or learn how to manage with the rubble that was left. While they are the protagonist of Fallout 4, life continued on for the settlers within the Commonwealth.Īfter the bombs of the Great War fell, the survivors had to pick up the pieces. The main story starts after Nate or Nora wakes up from a 200-year long nap from cryogenic sleep. Gamers took on the role of the Sole Survivor on their search for their stolen baby, Shaun.
Almost three years have passed since Fallout 4 was initially released in November 2015.
