31. Throughout the history of Fallout, many real-life places have inspired in-game locations, but in some cases, the line between reality and fiction is heavily blurred. Goodsprings, the town The Courier wakes up in during the opening sequence of Fallout: New Vegas, is an almost exact replica of a real place bearing the same name. It’s a similar story with Primm, where all the businesses are veiled references to buildings in the real city, and Bonnie Springs, a resort-like area outside of New Vegas, which bears a cheesy, cliche Western appearance because of its origins as a popular location for shooting old cowboy Western films in real life.
