I have yet to meet a TW2K player who told me that they would have liked the game better if only there had been less societal and economic recovery depicted and more chaos and barbarism.

I don't like the drought because of the science. It seems to me that the designers could have achieved the same ends by using "nuclear winter", a theory that was widely accepted during the late Cold War and for which some scientific evidence supports. Why they went the other direction and made it a drought, I don't know. My guess is that a hot, dry desert wasteland is more fun to adventure in than a frozen desert wasteland.
