Where is Fallout 3 set?
2008 action role-playing video game
Fallout 3 — 1 real place Wikidata records as its setting in the United States. Where the game takes place, not where it was made: a game is filmed nowhere, so this is the only kind of location it has.

Where it is set
Also per Wikipedia — “Video games set in Pittsburgh” category
Wikipedia’s “Video games set in Pittsburgh” category lists 1 more place. A category is an editor’s judgement rather than a sourced statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.
Drawn from these real places
Nothing was filmed at these and the story does not happen in them. They are the real places this game’s setting was modelled on, named in its Japanese Wikipedia article. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, so it is listed apart from everything above and never counted as a filming location.
Places whose own article says it is set there
1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this game, where Wikidata records nothing and this game’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.
