Background[edit]
Publications[edit]
“Dominated by Fort Hagen to the west and the Greater Boston Neighborhoods to the east, this zone is mostly wilderness, with its inhabitants getting increasingly tough and unpleasant the farther south you venture. As you reach Fort Hagen relatively early in your Main Quest adventuring, it is worth exploring the locations north and east of the fort, venturing to the more soggy southern Charles River and back into Boston when you’re ready for a breather at Diamond City. Follow the roads and the rail tracks to avoid getting lost. For the settlement wrangler, there’s only two possible alliances to make, and one of those is with some gardening robots.”— Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Map
“
To the west of Boston itself, a large open region of rolling foothills hides several small developments and townships along its Charles River. Further from the water’s edge, the relatively well-defended Fort Hagen stands well-protected against the dangers of the wasteland. To the south, a major highway interchange houses many mercenary raiders and is an extremely dangerous area to wander.
The reason for the survival of so many raiders in the area is due in-part to the existence of a Federal Ration Stockpile to the west, which has supplied the gang-like Wastelanders with sustenance for quite some time.”— Fallout: The Roleplaying Game - Core Rulebook Chapter 8
