“It’s finally time the rest of the world sees what a gem West Virginia is,” said Governor Jim Justice. “For years, I’ve been saying we have it all: beautiful scenery, the best people you could ask for and more. And now, we get to share a piece of that with people all over the world through the unique lens of this video game.”

“I think the world was caught by surprise when Bethesda released the trailer with an eerily beautiful post-apocalyptic West Virginia set to a slightly more futuristic version of our state’s anthem,” said Tourism Commissioner Chelsea Ruby. “In just a matter of hours, the internet was abuzz with West Virginians excited to see a glimpse of home and gamers excited to learn more about their new, beautiful virtual destination.”

“Our goal is to welcome each and every one of the game’s players to Almost Heaven,” said Tourism Commissioner Chelsea Ruby. “Bethesda has been a terrific partner since day one. They’ve really embraced West Virginia and its beauty. We believe this unique partnership has tremendous potential to bring folks to visit the Mountain State.”

West Virginia truly is a beautiful part of this country. As a born-and-raised Floridian I was always amazed at the sights I saw when I became a trucker. I don't have the words to describe the sunrises peaking up through the mountains.

From what I read in this post and article, the WV government reps are not making any effort to disguise the fact that they want this to promote WV tourism. In fact they're doing the opposite. They're directly stating they believe their state is beautiful, they're humbled and honored to have it presented in Fallout, and they want as many people as possible to feel drawn to experience their state because of this game.

If this is how lazy is defined, then I'm a big supporter of lazy.

I think it’s pretty awesome that they are promoting tourism through the game.

You're not fooling me, I've seen 'Wrong Turn'.

I love West Virginia. Living in Pittsburgh, I can go two out of four cardinal directions and be there in about an hour. It's a beautiful state.

Unfortunately I rarely have time to go further than to Tridelphia to hit up Cabela's after a range trip in Washington County

Oh I totally misread your intent. I post drunk a lot. I thought you were being critical of the WV governor for "cheaply" plugging his state tourism through a videogame.
