On the wall of the hut was a calendar, the date read November 2 nd 2288. She readjusted her glasses and her blue generals coat as Captain Lewis, the radio operator, gave his introduction speech. Hellen stood before the microphone in the little radio hut in the heart of the Castle’s courtyard.

With that out of the way, I hope you enjoy the story. The reason why the population is this size comes from various reddit discussions and my own estimations, plus the effects of centuries to recover from the war, and is still far less than the population of the area today. I hope you think that this makes sense and is appropriate for the story. Therefore, for this story I have increased the population of the Commonwealth to make the story larger and have more impact.ĭiamond City, for example, has a population, in this story at least, of 9,000 people, representing about half of all the people in the Commonwealth, with Goodneighbour having 1,800 people and most of the settlements have around 100-300 people living in them. Diamond City only has a few dozen people in it when it's meant to be the largest settlement in the Commonwealth.

Due to the tech limits Bethesda had in creating Fallout 4 they had to limit the scale of their settlements and locations. Before we go in, I would like to explain a few details, primarily around the scale of the Commonwealth's population in this story.

Author's Note: So here is the sequel to 'The Siege' at long last.
