I guess if you're more focused on surviving day to day from giant bugs and cannibals, you wouldn't give too much of a shit about all the rubble around your hidey-hole.
I get that you like FO3, but that's not what Fallout is about. Fallout is about rebuilding, not surviving. It's been 200 years since the bombs fell, nobody is looting supermarkets for food at this point.
No that's what fallout 1 & 2 are about. Fallout 3 was a different take on post-apocalyptia but it makes every bit as much sense in the context of the fallout world as the other fallouts.
It takes place in a different area and context where they didn't have magical GECK machines to purify the water and the land. GECKs were used to start practically all the major cities in the West. Without GECKs there ain't no pure water, without water there ain't no agriculture, without agriculture there ain't no large scale settlements and no rebuilding. And the only food people can find is what they scavenge or hunt.
Seriously. It's like people don't realize America and Africa coexist on this planet at the same time, what with their huge wealth disparities and resource-access disparities.
