Why no Area 51?

[AthleticGal]

it seems like a perfect base to add. The base itself is full of rumoured alien tech/weapons, alien bodies and secret government projects. The story/quest kinda writes itself within the fallout universe..I have always thought that was a huge missed opertunity.

I know you can add it in with mods but I am talking just the base game.

Aliens as anything more than a joke encounter is more of a Bethesda thing.

fair enough but still secret government projects/tech and hidden underground facilities.

The Mojave is located only in a small part of Nevada, it also reaches into (mostly) California, Arizona and Utah
( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a1/Mojave_Desert_map.svg ). The game setting is still only in a small part of the Mojave. Area 51 is far from the game setting.

As shown here ( https://gyazo.com/b22f77514caa45cf4b56ba1e94cd47a9 ), I marked some significant places like Nipton (California), Primm, Goodsprings, Searchlight and Boulder City & McCarran to show the stretch of the game map compared to the actual map.

I suppose a mod could add a "travel to Area 51" part to the North part of the map.

Where an irradiated water filled bomb crater on the road blocks the players path. XD

if it makes you feel anybetter area 51 was going to be in fallout 2.. but sadly was cut for the final version of the game
