What is up with San Francisco?

Okay, the majority of the game map is a terraformed Bay area which includes many vibrant exotic plants, trees, etc but when you get to San Francisco, it's a complete wasteland. It literally looks like a nuclear bomb went off along with the terraforming from the arkfall. When I first got there I was thinking holy shtako and I realized the map wasn't grayed out because you couldn't access it(as I originally thought before I went there)it was grayed out cause it IS all gray there. I was almost expecting to see Mad Max riding around there. It seriously looks so post-apocalyptic...

I'd give you an answer, but according to your meme you're too awesome to hear me :p

*sigh* I was wondering when someone would say something like this...No my sig pic is just of the Tenth Doctor(who is awesome)from Doctor Who. It doesn't mean in anyway that I am awesome...

I know, but it was still funny :)

I think it's to reflect the inhabitants. Everything before you reach that area is purely biological (Raiders, Biomen, and Hellbugs). The further south you go, you start seeing more mechanical (Scrappers, 99ers, and Dark Matter). The Mechanicals do not need all the vegetation.

Good theory there...

I personally wish it was all like the downtown portion of San Fran.

When I finally got there my first thought was "Oh look, more of the same. Except they changed the color..."

It's San Fran...it's like that now :P

it's where all the flaming Raiders are.

i'm going to hell for that.

It was a pretty big disappointment if you ask me.
