The Capitol Building



Before the Great War, the United States Capitol was the building that served as the location for the United States Congress, the legislative branch of the U.S. federal government. It is located in Washington, D.C., on top of Capitol Hill at the east end of the National Mall. Although not in the geographic center of the District of Columbia, the Capitol is the focus by which the quadrants of the district are divided.

On May 8, 2007, Bethesda Softworks has released a piece of Fallout 3 concept art by Craig Mullins depicting the Capitol after the Great War, in a largely intact state.

As we can see in the screenshot, the Capitol will be present in game. It is still unknown whether it will be important for the story. However, with the fighting going on inside it is possible to slip in and scavenge.

It has been revealed that inside humans and super mutants are fighting amongst each other, as seen on the left. It seems that guns are now more powerful than the words that used to fill its walls.
