Unless I misunderstood the show, it was very directly stated that the overseer had nuked shady sands as an act of fuck you to his ex-wife.
Basically, how dare you find a functional community outside of my control. I will reduce it to ashes that way I am the only option.
My understanding was that but it wasn't because of his ex more so that any successful civ would undermine the concept of his vault recolonizing the world.
I agree with your sentiment, but I think it's about 50% of each. Though honestly, it's really bothered me this entire time that shady sands is literally a vault community. It's vault. 13. Literally vault wellers having a reclamation day and rebuilding the surface.
yeah but the ncr includes regular surface dwellers too. probably the idea is more like that of the enclave in fallout 3; wipe out all the "mutants" and repopulate from there
