Jacobstown

Jacobstown is a location in Fallout: New Vegas that is home to Marcus, a recurring character from Fallout 2. Given the snowy climate and the look of the town itself, it appears to be a ski lodge or resort with certain modified or fortified parts, located in the nearby Mount Charleston area northwest of New Vegas. Jacobstown is named after Jacob, a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin.

Layout
The entrance features a giant sign on a tower that says "". Left of the entrance is a pen full of bighorners. The large building is the Jacobstown Lodge. Charleston Cave is behind the Jacobstown Lodge, in the mountains.

Behind the scenes

 * The lodge, set in a snowy mountain range, houses individuals suffering from paranoia and schizophrenia. With long corridors and dozens of rooms, it may be a reference to the movie "The Shining", starring Jack Nicholson as a ski resort attendant going increasingly insane.

Bugs

 * Jacobstown may or may not suffer a similar glitch to Arefu, where an enemy will spawn inside the town. In some instances, a hostile Bighorner may continue to spawn just outside the gates or between the gates and the domesticated Bighorn pen, and a Cazador may spawn in the city, or come flying in from the north.
 * Randomly, all the Bighorners may disappear when Lily goes into the lodge to help with the Stealth Boy test.
 * When fast travelling to Jacobstown, the Archemedes II may fire randomly at the front gate, causing everyone in the town to turn hostile.
