> in the modern Fallout games2 the only vehicles of gameplay import are aircraft. The existence of ground vehicles is implied in dialogue, but we never see them, presumably because they’d be too difficult to implement in the engine.
It's more of a game mechanics issue than technical, there is a lot of rubble, obstacles and destroyed roads, specially the highways. Vehicles also make the world smaller. It might be fun anyway.
I remember infamously in one of the fallouts there is a tram system- this was implemented in game by giving a npc a hat that was a giant bus, putting the npc underground and having him run along a course with only his head visable above ground. If they made vehicles I hope it would be done in the same way
