The Pitt (Fallout 3)

The Pitt is an industrial raider town located in the remains of Pittsburgh, about 500 kilometers to the northwest of Capital Wasteland. It is a place where three irradiated rivers come together and many of the towns inhabitants are mutated.

History
The Pitt was originally a place of pure chaos, full of rape gangs and torture squads. As part of the early recon when the Brotherhood of Steel first arrived in the East Coast area, Owyn Lyons led his paladins in an attack against the Pitt from over Mount Wash, later called "The Scourge". Even though they were completely outnumbered, they still razed the place to the ground.

As they swept through the Pitt the Brotherhood policed up every non-mutated child they could find, of which there were around twenty. Lyons brought the children back to the Citadel, which was still under construction, and enlisted them into the Capital Wasteland Brotherhood of Steel. One of these children grew up to be Paladin Kodiak.

While not as much of a threat as before the Scourge, the Pitt is still a center of raider and slaver activity. Three Dog might have lived there as through a dialogue choice say he was born in a town filled with mutants.

Release
Originally scheduled for release in February, but moved to March 24th, 2009.

The English 360 version is moved to March 25th, 2009. This is due to a corrupt version being uploaded to the Xbox Live Marketplace.

The corrupted English version had incomplete meshes, textures, crashed frequently, prevented you from continuing some areas, did not have all 100 ingots, and let you walk out of the areas.

Appearances
The Pitt was only mentioned in Fallout 3 and appears in the Fallout 3 downloadable content pack also titled The Pitt. A holotape found in Rockopolis reveals that slavers have taken the entire population of Rockopolis to the Pitt to be sold as slaves.

Trivia
opens a    conversation. In this conversation, the player can get the slave's clothes by saying "Your clothes. Give them to me. Now." This is a reference from the movie "The Terminator", in which Arnold Schwarzenegger uses the same phrase.
 * The Pitt oddly resembles in much detail to the 1987 Marvel comic The Pitt
 * In the Welcome to the Pitt screenshot, the bridge pictured in the screenshot is known as the South Tenth Street Bridge.
 * The change in the color of the bridge from yellow to an ocean green could be a result of the evaporating radiated waters from the river below the bridge.
 * Several buildings in the background including the Mellon Bank building and UPMC Tower are real buildings in down town Pittsburgh.
 * Based on Midea's dialog, there are no Super Mutants in the Pitt.
 * When releasing the slaves in the beginning of the quest, one of the slaves runs towards the vault dweller and
