How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

San Francisco survives as a strange port city, and its Chinatown is run by the Shi, descendants of the crew of a Chinese submarine. The Chosen One comes here to find the tanker that leads to the Enclave.

The real place

The game's San Francisco has areas named after the real city, including Chinatown and the Golden Gate. The real Chinatown, centred on Grant Avenue, is the oldest Chinatown in North America and dates from the 1840s.

Visiting

Enter through the Dragon Gate at Grant Avenue and Bush Street. Stockton Street, one block west, is where locals shop for produce and dim sum.
