Esplanade

Esplanade is a district of Boston in 2287 in Fallout 4. It is located between The Fens and Beacon Hill, and is across the Charles River from Cambridge.

Background
Previously one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Boston, the Charles River Esplanade contains the remains of a park, frequented by Bostonians before the Great War.

After the bombs fell, HalluciGen, Inc., a pre-War biochemical research facility, experienced a chemical leak. The Gunners who raided the building were driven insane. Shortly before 2287, the cult of the Pillars of the Community took up residence at the Charles View Amphitheater, next to the Charles River. They began recruiting members from all over the Commonwealth, drawing even more wastelanders to the district.

Layout
The neighborhood consists of these locations:
 * Charles View Amphitheater
 * Footbridge camp
 * HalluciGen, Inc.
 * Holy Mission Congregation
 * Marlborough house
 * Raider alleyway outpost
 * Commonwealth Avenue

Appearances
Esplanade appears only in Fallout 4.
