Desert

The desert is a place where all extraneous things are stripped away. Life is reduced to some of its bare requirements. You get to examine some core concepts directly, without the interference of society. Life, death, eating, breeding, building a social structure.

The deserts found in the games are hinted at being not 'natural' deserts, but deserts left behind by some terrible cataclysm that occurred in the world. There are old bunkers and robots in the midst of the wilderness. Nobody knows where they are from exactly. These deserts represent a chance to start over, a chance to build new societies, and contain warnings to people of what didn't work before.
