The nuclear war happens in 2077.

Fallout 3 happens in 2277.

During those 200 years people in DC don't just fail to rebuild civilization. They even fail to get rid of the random pre-war garbage inside their own homes!

New Vegas (which starts in 2281) is better but still way too post-apocalyptic. I want my Fallouts to be post-apocalyptic but they should have been set much sooner after the war (maybe 70 years, just long enough that almost no one who remembers the pre-war world is left) and even then settled people shouldn't live in shacks.

Not to poke holes, but isn’t part of the lore that generations went by in the vaults? It’s not 200 years on the surface.

Only the ones who could afford it.
