The Wall

The Wall is a landmark in Diamond City in 2287.

Background
The Wall is a recognizable feature of Diamond City, having survived since before the Great War. Though originally designed for baseball, it now serves as a fortification, separating the settlement from threats beyond. The first time the Sole Survivor approaches the wall, Mayor McDonough will be summoning residents to the area so that he may give a speech. In this proclamation, he mentions the wall as the "great green guardian" that has served to protect them for 150 years from the "filth of the outside."

The wall is maintained by Abbot, who lives nearby. He will speak highly of the wall and its role in keeping everyone safe, and the proud tradition of painting it green and maintaining it to avoid falling into disrepair. He mentions that no one has ever broken through, and the least they can do in return is keep the wall looking pristine.

He will ask the Sole Survivor to assist him in finding paint to maintain its upkeep, and if successful, he will thank the player character, mentioning that their help in keeping the wall in good repair means a lot to the city. Abbot allows the player character to add some paint to the wall when they return, and if they bring the color paint he desired, he will admire the wall and mention that it is a good shade of green. If Mayor McDonough dies, Abbot is unconcerned, remarking that even if the mayor is gone, the wall remains the same.

Layout
The Wall surrounds the city completely on three sides, with the remaining section surrounded by the grandstand and pre-War press box. Stadium seating is situated in front of the wall in the former outfield area, as well as brahmin pens and a stage.

A scoreboard comprises a large majority of the bottom half of the outfield section, with the city's diamond logo above it. Utilized for keeping score of baseball games before the war, the sections still remain, including top and bottom of innings 1-10, runs, hits, errors, and pitches, as well as statistics for both the American and National Leagues. The home team "Boston" is pre-painted on the bottom, above records for at bats, balls, strike outs, and hit/errors below the inning counts.

During the Painting the Town quest, aside from the requested shade of green, the Sole Survivor can also choose to paint the wall blue or yellow. After a period of time has passed, the scoreboard portion of the wall will be updated with their choice. Abbot as well as the Diamond City guards will comment on the new color.
