The blue tab with typewriterfont name on it, right on the locationsname table.
Of course I knew he meant that, but I wanted to how it is different a different think from the "mouseover" description.
Imo, the location is technically called NCR in this server. Because it is show with that name on the right, and also it's the "title" you get when you put your mouse over it, the same way Necropolis is not Bakersfield.
Eh i don't really see the point of the name change, it was called NCR in fallout 2 and since we are a LOT closer to the fallout 2 date and the NCR has been formed/is becoming stronger why should it be changed?
The exact date does not really matter as Shady Sands never really changed its name. Of course NCR was formed but it was a country, while Shady Sands was its capital and kept its name. Imo, in Fallout 2 the location was called NCR and not Shady Sands because it was the only part of the NCR we had access too, while NPCs kept telling us "we control various locations to the south" and stuff. In 2238, we can travel south and visit Fallout 1 areas, now under NCR rule.
