Description Here's a pretty picture I snapped of the Washington Monument and the reflection pond in front of it. This was taken from the foot of the Lincoln Memorial steps. I really love the early mornings in Fallout 3, the yellow lighting and extensive use of bloom can make even the worst post-nuclear war-zone look beautiful.

I especially liked this scene for multiple reasons. The light shining through the broken away chunks of the monument and the perfect reflection in the pond. I also liked seeing the pile of random debris in front of the pond, really sets the mood.

You'll be seeing a few pictures of this monument, it's one of the big reference points in the game world, if you have your settings high enough you can see it from about half-way away into the game world just sticking out from behind mountains and such. I gotta tell you, when you finally make it into DC and finally make it TO the monument itself after seeing it at a distance for so long.. it feels really accomplishing.

Currently Running Fallout 3 at:
1600x1200 custom high settings, no vsync.

I need to get this game. It's damn cool and I do not want to get the incomplete console version.

And some dude made the M41-A Pulse Rifle for it which is probably why.

Nope, no mines.. just radiation.. I mean a LOT. It's still just 1 rad a second but you have to stay WAY far away from the edges of the pool.

Nope.. I think the only places with mines are of course Minefield, and a few raider camps. Also there's that one lady looking for the Declaration of Independence who put a bunch in the main room.
