How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

A rough mining town where rival factions fight over the Morningstar, Kokoweef and Wanamingo gold mines, and the Chosen One can settle who runs the town.

The real place

Chris Avellone confirmed that Redding is based on the real city. Redding grew with gold and copper mining in the 19th and early 20th centuries and is now the largest city in California north of Sacramento.

Visiting

Walk across the Sundial Bridge over the Sacramento River in Turtle Bay Exploration Park. Its tall pylon casts the shadow of a giant sundial across the garden on the north bank.
