How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The ruins of Los Angeles and the biggest settlement in the game. The Followers of the Apocalypse, the Blades gang and the walled town of Adytum all live among its broken towers, and the Master's Cathedral stands nearby.

The real place

In the game, Katja calls the Boneyard "all that's left of the old city of Los Angeles." The real city is the second-largest in the United States, with about 3.8 million people.

Visiting

For a free view over downtown's towers, go up to the observation deck on the 27th floor of City Hall, open on weekdays. Bring photo ID for the security check.
