And there are probably mods that add families into Fallout, Rule 34 and all. I would, on the other hand that if you live in a place like Vault City or some other Vault city or other high tech society, the infant mortality rate is probably closer to like it is in Nordic countries.Īs to why they aren't in games, what would they add? I wouldn't be against having kids running around and the introduction of settlement building makes kids a bigger question. It wouldn't be at third world levels because they do have technology, but economic inequality and general isolation would increase that number a bit. I'd imagine that since traveling long distances quickly isn't really a thing in the Fallout world, going to a hospital if you live outside a city in the NCR, their Infant mortality rate would be higher than the US. NCR cities (excluding Vault City) would probably have infant and childhood mortality rates similar to Mexico today, which is ~ birth, the US is ~ for comparison. Child mortality would likely be fairly high in most of the world, even including the NCR.
