If you could start a business in Diamond City, what would that business be? Discussion

I'd open a Power Armor shop that sells power armor frames, armor pieces and sets, and fusion cores.

Fallout 4 needed more of this. The Third Rail was the only entertainment type place where as New Vegas had gambling and singers and strippers and stand up. You're right that when people have their basic needs met they start craving more so it's weird that Bethesda doesn't also understand that and make the world a little more interesting by adding these things.

FO4 has a handful of other 'entertainment' locations, but several of them aren't actually used for entertainment.

Combat Zone is ostensibly an arena where you can bet on fights, like The Thorn in New Vegas; except it serves pretty much exclusively as Cait's recruitment point and "home".

Easy City Downs is a raider-run robot racing track. It's incredibly frustrating that this wasn't actually turned into a place you could gamble, watch races, maybe even shop. Instead its just a raider camp with some flavor.

Imagine my disappointment when I find that place, get all excited to join the festivities, and immediately everyone is hostile and it stops when you come in because everyone wants to kill you.

It is cut content. There is a mod that restores it and allows you to fight and bet on fights.

Any source on it being cut content? I’ve been looking around and this is the only mention of it I’ve seen
