Where is the Sierra Madre?

[Vex Hilarius]

Ok now I'm probably the only one who cares about this but it is never explained what state the Dead Money DLC takes place in. It seems that it may take place in Arizona since the location to start the dlc is by the colorado river but the villa itself seems to have a Mexican theme surrounding it.

The other DLCs makes clear explanations as to where exactly their areas are located (big mt is in southern California since NCR merchants travel by the crater in their journeys, the divide is actually right next to the main map. Zion is a give away as its a real world place.)

I only ask because Dog fetches you from the BOS bunker but to travel into Arizona would be difficult due to it being controlled by legion. Its a matter of answering a long question of mine to make it more believable.

I use the wiki and the vault alot so I know this article already. But what I did miss was that it's a Mojave city, so that at least shows that it may be close to new Vegas

The thing is it's only a fictional casino resort so it may not actually be representing anywhere in our real world.

Im just a geography nerd so I like an actual location. I like to compare the real world to video game maps especially Fallout because although they are scaled down in the games I like how real world locations are incorporated into the map and plot.

I takes a couple days for him to move you to the Villa, so it can't be that far. Probably across the Colorado, in some secluded mountains.

Yea I can relate, since some of the towns in NV are real and they're geographically positioned in a rather precise way. Gotta give the credit to Obsidian.

However for Sierra Madre, it is completely off the main map. You may get a general direction from how the way the characters describe it, but at the end of the day it is conveniently concealed by the Red Cloud so any readout on the location is outta the question. Consider it as the Shangri-la of Nevada.

Assuming that the Sierra Madre casino is actually in the Sierra Madre range, it's probably somwhere in southwest Arizona. Otherwise, it's impossible to say

I was always under the impression it was in Mexico

I think its close to the colorado river. My theory is that dog dragged you to a raft or something similar.

Definitely not. Sinclair, dean and Vera were all American. Sinclair was in regular dealings with with big mt think tank, and secretly using that tech (wouldn't be smuggling big mt experiments across the border) and the pre war terminals talked about American politics, with American workers.

[Fumo Bnnuy n Frends]

I could've sworn that term came up in some tv shows or convos (with people). I think there does exist an actual place or city with the name. They probably choose the name and went with another location (or since it's in the fallout universe built from scratch, probably built around the area or thing it was named after).

[joje]

The real sierra madre is on the west coast i think. Close to LA or something. But the only thing that the game and the real life location have in common is the name.

The way I see it, it looks like someone built a European like village in America because the guy who made it was inspired by European buildings.

Mmmmmh. I think its supposed to be like mexican style or whatever

[Lavetic]

it does say it is in a "city of the dead" in intro and outro of the DLC, so i assume it is in the city of Sierra Madre, California
