Sanctuary!
Fri, 11/27/2009 - 17:14
There are a few topics floating down the forums lists about Sanctuary. And no one seems to have any concrete information. So I'm making this thread to put down what is KNOWN about the location, Sanctuary.
QUOTES
Helena Peirce- "I've got some new that you probably won't like. I'm keeping the road to Sanctuary closed."
Dr. Zed- "Ever since those Crimson Lance Solders showed up we can't get to Sanctuary."
Now, people have said that the Sanctuary is the underground "Dig Site" that you visit to retrieve the first piece of the Vault Key. IT IS NOT. That location is labeled as the "Dig Site".
Also, pleople have speculated that it was part of the Dahl Headlands. Peirce's quote, and the quote from Zed both disprove that. The Lance are never in the Headlands, and Pierce makes a referance to Krom and the Thor excavation rig for her reasons to keep the Road closed. This means that the Sanctuary is accessed through the SALT FLATS.
Quotes from other NPCs through the New Haven area lead me to believe that Sanctuary is either a Government center, or another town, slightly larger than New Haven.
So if you can provide any information with EVEDINCE to support it, please add to this.

That's what I'm thinking. A
That's what I'm thinking. A later DLC with a Storyline extention might have us rescuing Sanctuary from the Crimson Lance, or something like that. But I don't think it's the Saltflats area. As Helena Peirce says, "I don't need people trying to run past those bandets and get killed." Which leads me to believe that Sactuary, whatever it is, is on past the Flats.

Yeah, I was curious about that myself on my first run through. But I found later that it does indeed run to Rust Commons West. Good eye though.

I'm pretty sure it's a
I'm pretty sure it's a settlement like New Haven.
1. "I know she wants to turn New Haven into another Lance fiefdom, just like Sanctuary." - Helena Pierce, Smoke Signals: Shut Them Down mission.
2. SPOILER WARNING: Later, when Steele shuts down the ECHO network after you take down Baron Flynt, one of the last transmissions that gets through to you from Helena is that Sanctuary is a war zone.
Either way, both implies a sizeable population in Sanctuary, which can only mean it's some sort of town or city.
We also know for sure that Sanctuary isn't a bandit town like Jaynis/Taylortown or Old Haven:
1. Helena restricting travel between New Haven and Sanctuary implies commerce between the two.
2. Helena and others heard about Sanctuary being attacked by the Lance over the ECHO network. Bandits aren't part of the ECHO network.

That's great. I hadn't
That's great. I hadn't remembered those quotes! Also, the bit about not being a bandit town because of the ECHO network is a great point too!
The entire region, from the Slat Flats and on. Its not labeled as such because if it was the region name, the section name would be most of what you care about.
Its either that or Sancuary is, as you say, another city or settlement. If so it will probably be released in one of the upcoming DLC.
