FAQ
These are some questions I've fielded since starting the story. Some questions are here, others are addressed in other areas of the wiki. Hope this helps!

Which Fallout 3 ending occurred according to the Fallout SL?

 * Project Purity was a go. This means that there is a steady supply of fresh, clean water that comes regularly out of D.C. Sarah Lyons was the one to go into the chamber to activate the purifier and died as a result.


 * Though the "Lone Wanderer " is a name whispered around the area, he/she wasn't as much of a hero. There's no reason anyone should think that all is right with the world.


 * The Modified FEV (Forced Evolutionary Virus) was not added to the purifer.


 * Raven Rock, the local home of The Enclave is destroyed.
 * The undetonated atomic bomb in the center of Megaton is disarmed.

Was Baltimore nuked as well? Is there extensive fallout in the area?
Yes, Baltimore was nuked. In the downtown area there is a large amount of radiation, similar to D.C. Duke's settlement is situated in southern Baltimore where there is only negligible amounts of fallout.

What Year Is It?
The current year in the storyline is approximately 2295. That makes it ~218 years since the nukes fell and ~244 years since the world started to drastically change for the worse. Even before the bombs fell there were massive resource shortages (mainly fuel) as well small scale crop failures, a worldwide virus which led to a nationwide quarantine, and wars between nations. There is a full timeline available here.

It's about 18 years after pure drinking water has been readily available in the Baltimore/D.C. area.

It's about 14 years after the events of Fallout: New Vegas
