A very obvious reference to the beginning Fallout 3in which players take control of a Vault Dweller who appears in search of his father, who has disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Jonathan Nolanthe director and executive producer of the series is a big fan of the game, and it seems clear that they wanted to do it justice.

This is New Vegas, the city where the latest video game takes place, taking place just 15 years before the events of the series.
