So for my History class I have to write an 8 page book review on Ovid L. Futch's History of Andersonville Prison.
The books about a confederate civil war prison and one of the chapters in the book is on the raiders.
What happened at the prison, which is pretty much a post apocalyptic hell hole, was a bunch of the prisoners grouped up to steal and kill other prisoners and they were called the Raiders.
Now, that alone doesn't necessarily directly correlate Fallout 3 to the prison, but there was also a group of prisoners that tried to fight against them called the regulators.
The "good guys" who roam the wasteland in fallout 3 killing bad people are also called the regulators.
So yeah, I just thought i was cool that Bethesda seems to have done a little research on that stuff and felt I needed to share it.
I almost want to throw a mention of the game in my essay somehow, but that totally wouldn't fly in a college course.
