Bitter Springs....

It helps if you kill everyone there, that usually gives it the right atmosphere.


Indeed. What better way to give the site of a massacre the appropriate atmosphere, than to massacre a buncha refugees?!

Civilians are simply people you haven't gotten around to shooting yet.

Which will certainly be the case on my second playthrough, when I'm playing as an evil character instead of an NCR soldier.

Lol. You guys are terrible!

The first time I went to Bitter Springs it was for Boone's special quest and it was during the late afternoon/evening so it left a more dramatic impression on me then if I had visited it at some earlier time. I'm assuming that a lot of the Khan tents(or yurts?) were removed over the three years since the incident happened which could be why the area seems significantly smaller than it should. I can't explain why there were so few graves but as with a lot of locations in Fallout, they may be more as symbolic placeholders scaled down to fit into the game's terrible engine. :unsure2:

I'm not sure what you would expect. The NCR doesn't really deny it happened but they do their best to basically ignore it and cover it up. They aren't going to leave a bunch of bullet ridden children's corpses out rotting in the open.



If they would have, some of you sick people would have eaten them.....

Well, there are probably 3x more graves at Forlorn Hope than there are at Bitter Springs...

Bitter Springs, in my opinion, was wasted potential.
