Starting location
Starting locations are places where newly created player characters start the game.
There are 3 starting locations; the one where you start your journey is randomly selected. Each location has its own story and a small, optional quest.
Note: At this time, all new characters start their journey near Hub, and not near Vault City or Shady Sands.
You start with a few items already in your inventory, like Rubber Boots or Gamma Gulp Beer, but don't expect to start with much. Once you leave your starting location, there is no going back, so make sure to pick up every item that you can find there.
