Halloween Decorations?

[SatyrToon]

Are the Halloween decorations in Diamond City new or have I been REALLY oblivious the entire time I've played this game?

The explosion happened a few days after Halloween. It was November 3rd or November 5th. I can't remember. They have been there since game launched.

In Diamonds City? Why would they decorate their city with Halloween decorations if many of the decendents of survivors don't even know what baseball is, let alone Halloween?

Diamond City will have holiday decorations up depending on the in-game date, like for Christmas or Halloween.

For the same reason why Christmas tradition calls for a Yule Log, even though it originates from a pagan tradition. Traditions tend to transcend the passage of time, meanwhile the real meaning behind the traditions can be lost or forgotten.

But I don't I remember there being a "Happy Halloween" banner across the entrance to Diamond city as well as pumpkins everywhere. I KNOW there were Halloween decorations in sanctuary hills and that it was around Halloween when the bombs fell. \

Edit: Also, I just went back to one of my old screen shots and found that the banner wasn't there as well as many of the other decorations. SOME of them where there, but a lot more seem to have been added.

Halloween and Christmas decoration only appear during Halloween or Christmas, respectively. The game begins before the Halloween, so you can see both quite early in the game, if you happen to stumble upon Diamond City in time.

Yea, I was quite surprised to enter Diamond City one day and see a Christmas Tree by the noodle stand. Checked my PipBoy, and sure enough, it was late December game date.
