How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A small town of trappers and cattle herders, and the first real settlement the Chosen One reaches after leaving Arroyo. Its loading screen gives its full name, Klamath Falls.
The real place
Chris Avellone confirmed in the Fallout Bible that Klamath is based on Klamath Falls, Oregon, although the game's world map moves it south into California. The real city sits at the south end of Upper Klamath Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Oregon.
Visiting
The Link River Trail follows the short river between Upper Klamath Lake and Lake Ewauna, right in town. Crater Lake National Park is about an hour and a half's drive north.
