Recent changes to the real-life Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool enacted by the Trump administration have made it resemble its counterpart in Fallout 3. Although the actual version is causing a lot of controversy and is probably a little painful, fans Fallout 3 they made fun of the resemblance.
The Fallout the games take place in different locations of the United States but Fallout 3 specifically, it takes place in the Capital Wasteland, which includes Washington DC and some surrounding areas. Players exploring the wasteland can discover remnants of real-life United States buildings and landmarks, including the reflecting pool in question.

Fallout 3 fans celebrate the green reflecting pool
As the name suggests, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool normally has a mirror-like reflectivity. Recently, however, the reflecting pool has taken on a distinctly green tinge, apparently due to an overgrowth of algae. This created a strong resemblance between a mirror pool in the real world and one found in a post-apocalyptic wasteland Fallout 3. Players poked fun at the resemblance, with some joking that the Trump administration was paying homage Fallout series, while others teased that they were glad the pool hadn't changed at all in 200 years.

The water's new green look began after a multimillion-dollar rehabilitation project enacted by the Trump administration installed a new liner in the pool and painted its bottom blue. Some experts said this kind of green algae growth is fairly common, especially this time of year, and that the new color may cause the water to absorb more heat from the sun, which can fuel the algae. Currently, the government is taking steps to try to combat the algae and restore the water to its original appearance. In any case, it has been stated that algae do not make water toxic, while the same certainly cannot be said for irradiated wastelands Fallout 3.
Given that Fallout universe is largely based on a combination of true history and 1950s science fiction, it shares some commonalities with the modern world. Areas explored in Fallout 3 and 4 are probably best known to fans as they were two of the biggest hits the series has seen over the years. However, Fallout he also explored California, parts of Oregon, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. The games featured some iconic landmarks that visitors and residents of these areas know about Fallout A Prime TV series that went to the New Vegas area in its final season.
At this time, Bethesda has not given any significant hints as to where it will be next Fallout the game can take players. When he finally relaxes, Fallout 5 could introduce entirely new areas or perhaps even take players from outside the United States, such as Fallout London the mod did. In the meantime though, a few remasters or remakes for Fallout 3 and New Vegas they are said to be in the works, so players who haven't had a chance to see Washington DC in a post-apocalyptic state will likely get another chance in the future.
