      @@LouCooper that's ok. It's about what it protects. It was built to protect the people and business behind the wall(you know, literally because of Babe Ruth), but the idea that it would still be standing 300 years later protecting people inside, well, that's poetry. And, being a 4th generation Red Sox fan and witnessing the end of the curse, it's just something you won't understand unless you're from Boston.

    The E.A. Poe connection to that "Fort Independene" incident was new to me! Very cool! I just love it when history puzzle pieces fall into place and make a connection. That's why Fallout 4 is my favourite game because they put so much detail into everything. Thanks for your journey and for cennecting the dots.

    Just got back from a trip to New England, where I kept finding myself in Fallout 4 locations. The Minute Man statue by the North Bridge in Concord, the Witch Museum in Salem, Jamaica Plain (where I kept telling my friends, "Man, I wish I had my jetpack!". Weird to experience those places first in the game then in real life.

    I grew up in lexington/Bedford/Concord, it was surreal to have a game set in a very niche part of Massachusetts. My eagle project in boy scouts was restoring the rail switch for the old railway. Wouldve liked to have seen the church from bedford center make a cameo or the stop and shop plaza.

But when I played the Fallout 3 game years later I was recognizing practically everything from the 2 weeks there.

    While a fortification has stood there since before the revolutionary war, the original fort was built 1634. It fell into disrepair and was rebuilt in 1644. It burnt down in 1673 and rebuilt in 1674. It was destroyed and rebuilt in 1800 to 1803, then destroyed in 1833 but construction on the new fort wouldnt fully finish until 1861. So no, Fort Independence only dates back to 1833-1861.

    Railroad is the worst faction?

    Because its a hassle and he doesn't want the responsibility.
    No thanks. I've got a game to enjoy. I don't need to be in the middle of one quest and have Preston insist his thing is more important. ;)

    I find it funny that the walls of Fort Independence collapsed in the 200+ years but your house in Sanctuary is still there. Yeah its worn out a bit but a house like that would not be standing after 200 years of neglect. Plus electrical polls, transmission towers, skyscrapers, roads, bridges are all still standing. In reality they wouldn't last even 50 years. They would have rusted, rotted, collapsed or have been overgrown with plants. All you would see after 200 years is forest and some broken concrete. Fallout 4 looks like 20 years after the great war not 200. Plus the radioactive fallout would be long gone. It also wouldn't create mutant monsters, it would just kill everything. All that aside I love Fallout 4.
