Don't know about written lore, but I think it wouldn't be too out of sorts for there to be coffee. We have other foods that are canned or packaged that are only slightly irradiated, so I imagine some canned coffee grounds and dirty water would be a plausible but disgusting cocktail.

Right? You'd think it'd be more plentiful considering the abundance of pre-war coffee supplies. I don't know if Boston is quite the optimal coffee-growing environment, to be fair. But considering how ubiquitous coffee is in pre-war society, you'd think it would have made an appearance as a new, mutated super coffee. I might also wager that people value purified water more than caffeine if I was optimistic about the human condition.

Since every male character you create in FO4 has to be a soldier at some point, can we consider there was a forced mobilization at some point to enlist every available civil male? Is there any information about this?

Interesting question Ryo - I haven't seen or read anything specifically in Fallout lore regarding a mandatory draft for civilians. But as Noodles points out, history is full of such examples. Maybe Me. Edd or PCTY have ideas...

Well, military service is still mandatory in my country after you finish your education.
In lore wise, mandatory service could be execuse for making characters that are not suited for military, morally or physically.
