Just an idea for when we get to Philly: as one of the few groups not to be seriously effected by the bombs, Amish have taken over, through cultural spread, not militarily, as they are pacifists. At least having Lancaster relatively untouched and the people still living relatively the same would be pretty cool. Kind of a commentary on how the technologically advanced people lost it all, when the backwards people survived.Not sure how they'd survive raiders, though. Probably feed them, give them supplies, treat their wounds, and say goodbye.

I actually agree with that... that is an awesome idea... The amish would be the best suited for a situation like this so they would practically thrive once they adapted... They could be horrible xenophobic, and refuse to allow any technology at all in their civilization (So the bot's fucked, as is anybody with energy weapons) And they could have a kill-on-sight rule for mutants...

Or maybe they all have some form of mutation...

I wanna see some mutated horses... That was one thing I wished fallout would do: Add more mutated wildlife... Not just livestock and some stupid scorpions rats and mole rats....

What about Deer? I could see a stag going the route of a bighorner... Getting to the size of a clydesdale, with razor sharp antlers... Hawks large enough to carry off a small child... Massive *shudder* snakes... now that I have that last one in my head I can just picture an eastern diamondback with a rattle as thick as my head...
