Yangtze Memorial

The Yangtze Memorial is a pre-War landmark in the Mojave Wasteland $$

Background
The Yangtze Memorial honors the fallen of the Yangtze Campaign after the Chinese invaded Alaska. The structure is damaged by elements and scavenging, but remains standing over two centuries after the Great War. The names of the fallen remain visible on the faded stone. Few wastelanders remember the exact reason for the large cross being there. Now it is mostly used as a useful landmark for navigating the wasteland. At the present, it marks the edges of safe territory around Quarry Junction, after Deathclaws took it over.

Layout
The memorial is in the middle of a platform surrounded by steps descending away from a central fence protecting the monument. There is a hollowed-out rock (identified by a peace sign painted on it) and three graves to the south (one containing a variety of items and two are empty). A "Warning: Deathclaws Ahead!" sign can be found to the east and an abandoned shack to the northwest. A duffle bag is located behind the warning sign.

A coyote often patrols around the memorial, though on occasion a single radscorpion may be present near the graves on the Courier's first visit. High-level radscorpions appear to the north and west, although the memorial itself can be reached in relative safety by a low-level player character.

The Yangtze Memorial is similar in appearance to the real world Mount Soledad Cross in La Jolla, California.

Bugs

 * As the player character approaches the memorial, they will be attacked by radscorpions (regular and giant). The screen may start to flicker black and at times go completely black apart from the health bar. This seems to be fixable by reloading a close save and/or when walking away from the memorial.
 * When near the memorial (northwest) and are standing on top of a small cliff, Victor can sometimes be seen in mid air, before proceeding to fall to his death at the bottom of the cliff.
