It has become the one maximum security prison for the whole Northern Commonwealth (original, no?) EFNY-related hijynx ensue, and oh yeah, the president of America, John Henry 'Malcolm McDowell' Eden, is trapped somewhere on the island. NY wasn't hit so badly, but is still quite derelict. After that, the Duke of New York (that's right!) comes down to DC, buys you, and takes you back to New York. After being captured by slavers, you only spend a day or 2 inside the cage (with no way out). Speaking of which, let me ramble off a pie-in-the-sky idea that is never going to happen. And no Snake Plissken hurts the idea even more. Left as is, an 'Escape from Paradise Falls' quest wouldn't be more than picking a gate and sneaking/shooting your way out. We'd need more slaves doing stuff, a larger and more fleshed out town, and some truly dastardly villains. This could be formed into a nice quest, but obviously Paradise falls would need to be redesigned in that case. The point wouldn't be to serve the slavers, but to break free of imprisonment.
