Forums: Index > Fallout world discussion > Shady Sands is very close to Hoover Dam


So why did Fallout New Vegas make it sound like it is literally an entire state away.

If this map is canon, then Hoover Dam is hell of alot closer to Shady Sands, the very capital of the NCR then it otherwise should be. I mean, the NCR literally have holdings as far north as San Francisco with firm control and government, but they can't seem to be able to hold onto a single city that is much closer, and not to mention that in real life, there is a highway which literally connects the area where Shady Sands should be directly to New Vegas.

Was this just a simple goof up on geography? Or did Obsidian explained the reason for the long supply line? I'm guessing the Divide was a probable reason, but I remember having to go southwards in the New Vegas map to enter the lonesome road entrance. This confuses me a bit.
