The Mall

The Mall is a location in Fallout 3. It is based on the real-life National Mall in downtown Washington D.C.

Background
The Mall is now a bombed-out war zone occupied by super mutants. The park itself has been replaced by a series of trenches, fences, and bunkers in fortified positions where the super mutants are entrenched. Crossing this part of the Mall will involve enduring firefights (unless sneaking around the outsides), but the various metro stations on either side of this zone offer a relatively safe passage underground.

Super mutants occupy relatively all buildings in this location, save for the Washington Monument and the Museum of History. It seems that the Brotherhood made a push east, set up a bunker and occupied it, however judging from the Initiate corpses lying around the Mall in the eastern portion, they made a hasty retreat back to the Washington Monument after sustaining heavy casualties. The outside of Underworld is patrolled by Willow, who, despite her claims that super mutants leave ghouls alone, will be shot at by nearby super mutants.

Slavers occupy the Lincoln Memorial, which they wrested out of super mutant hands (as can be seen from the mutant corpses laying outside), and are in the process of disassembling it. Approaching the memorial, the player character will be stopped and taken to their leader, Leroy Walker, who will start the Head of State quest.

Layout
The Brotherhood of Steel holds a defensive position around the Washington Monument in the center of the Mall, and Talon Company is taking the offense against super mutants to the west toward the Capitol building.

The Reflecting Pool, found between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, is full of wrecked cars and shopping carts. Its radiation is strong enough to reach a few feet away from the water.

The Mall is a key location in Fallout 3 that connects several important buildings and subway systems together. However, because of this, it has the second-largest concentration of super mutants in the Capital Wasteland, the first being Vault 87.
