DLC outside of the USA?

If you read this again, you can see the contradiction...right?

It could be a location like Big MT without the mountain being blown off.A series of interconnected locations and bunkers under the ice.

If they ever do a Florida Fallout i would love to see a Cuba DLC. Cuba still has alot of stuff from 1950's America today so i wonder what it would look like in Fallouts timeline. In the 50's Cuba was a prime destination for US tourists, with beaches, gambling, cigars... Plus its only 40 miles from the US...Unlike some other islands people want to use as a location...(Great Britain...can we call it Meh Britain from now on?)

I always got the impression that the majority of the world was in severe decline from the resource wars, the nukes started flying, the big players took most of the world down with them and the minor players(who couldnt hit the US or China with their weapons) hit whoever they could just to be part of it. In this way the majority of the world was destroyed and everyone seemingly forgot about Australia who thought to them selves"Oy, nows Australia's chance to show the world what for, it is" just as the 6 or 8 nuclear warheads the US kept pointed at them just so they wouldnt be forgotten about, hit and turned the place into a big dessert...errr bigger dessert...whatever, even they got destroyed.

Maybe Santa is part of the Enclave? Yeah, just blew your whole perception of the Universe didn't I? /blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />

Medieval Europe actually existed, Skyrim is pure fantasy.

Skyrim might not have been... based on... something... like medieval Europe? Even firebreathing dragons, since they are a product of medieval folklore.


Setting a Fallout game in Scandinavia would pretty much be "Skyrim with guns"... except... we barely have any guns due to our restrictive laws. So I guess it'd be just Skyrim then? /tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' /> I mean, we got the snow, the pine trees, we got the medieval ruins, we pretty much are the Nords, and we'd have to fight with melee weapons and bows since guns would be scarce.

Yeah, you guys who are suggesting a game outside of North America aren't exactly understanding what Fallout's about. 1950s American culture based in a futuristic post apocalyptic wasteland. Take away one aspect of that and it ain't fallout anymore (in this case, taking out the 1950s American culture). Sure, you can say "Well what about military bases? Or China cause the American invasion?" but those don't work either, so don't say that (military bases are too small of a location to be in a fallout game (and dlc in an area outside America will leave us with waay too many questions and will require a hell of a lot of development), and any American control China will still have Chinese culture, not American, since the US invaded just shortly before the Great War).

Basically, North America only /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':smile:' />

He could easily been from the UK, ... Humans were able to get in america centuries before they invented big ships ... It will have been a hard trip but building a boat is certainly possible in fallout

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Chris_Taylor_interview_for_Vault13.net

Quote from Chris Taylor "He's not English, that's the whole joke. He's pretending to have an English accent. He probably read a children's version of Robin Hood in his formative years. His real name isn't even Loxley." So not from UK.

Also in regards to getting to America, it is believed Leif Ericson was the earliest person to have made it to America by ocean (Newfoundland Canada, so not exactly the US) with Longships (which are pretty big ships). To even find the materials to make large ships would be difficult as well (Europe was in total ruins even before the Great War, the Resource Wars; also it's been implied that Europe is in much worse condition than the US by the devs already).

How someone such as Allistair Tenpenny got to America, however, is a better point to make (though I believe Bethesda added him in just to allude to the rest of the world's state, not to suggest there is some form of travel between America and Britain).

-----

human life developped in Africa ... Right ?
When Europeans came to america millions of years later they found there were humans on that continent already ...

So ... therefore ... Indians, Mayans, Aztecs .... their ancestors must have gotten to the american continent thousand of years before leif ericson ... In very tiny ships ... (Aboriginals got to Australia and they don't know how to build big ships so it is possible)

and it's fallout ... crazier things have happened than a guy taking a boat across the atlantic /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Getting offtopic, but no one knows for sure how Native Americans got to America. The leading theory is they got there by crossing the Bering land bridge from Siberia to Alaska during the last Ice Age. So they walked.

But yes, it is Fallout, but like I said, besides for Tenpenny, there is no signs of any form of transportation between the US and any other country.

Actually Native Americans arrived by a land bridge from Russia.

Ever heard of a nuclear winter ... Maybe it created a new ice bridge ... My point is, they could easily give a semiscientific explanation that makes some sense /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

But back on topic ... I voted no ... I would rather see how the USA continues to rebuild rather than see random stories from around he world ... (I vote for a game in the midwest ... Caesars legion (civil war after dead of caesar: Lanius versus Crassus) versus midwestern brotherhood (also with their own problems: remnants of mutants and rebellious villages that don't want to see their inhabitants drafted by the BOS) versus a totally brand new faction ... (the django unchained gang (more militaristic followers of appocalyps kinda faction) who fights against the slavery of the legion as well as the Bos)

Yah, pretty much. That's why I don't think a Fallout game in Europe would really be Fallout-ish. Sure, there could be some spin-off that's called something else and is taking place in the Fallout universe, but everything that has happened in USA in the other games is isolated from this game. Things like super mutants, power armour, plasma weapons and nuclear-powered cars, I guess.

I think if they do any games outside of the U.S, they should be a spin off series set in the same universe but under a different name or something,

No, America is a big part of Fallout's identity. I'd hate to see Bethesda screw up and change that so that Fallout would appeal to more of the masses...which they would...

I would like to see what happened to China during the war. I just don't know how many seaworthy vessels were left after the bombs struck or if they would be near the continental US.

I voted yes, but I shouldn't have. I really want FO4 to be set in Florida, though. Think about the giant mutated mosquitoes and alligators. Maybe even mutated sharks that can come onto land? The Everglades national park could be a huge in-game setting or DLC. But, really think about it! They could name it the Coastal Wasteland. It's got a nice ring to it...

Another country/continent really deserves more than a DLC. I wouldn't mind seeing a Fallout game set on another continent, but it would need to be an entirely diffferent game. Different memes, different monsters, diffferent values, but showing concurrent development based on Fallout's alternate America and world history.

Maybe if said DLC were set in Canada or Mexico (depending on where the main game took place). But that's as for as it should go.

While I would love to see what has happened in the world of Fallout, outside of the USA, in particular my country England, I don't feel a DLC would do it justice at all. Not to mention that there's no real way of getting there from the USA other than Vertibirds. It'd have to be a whole game to do it justice. And as much as I want it to be in England, the history and lore of Fallout is based in the USA, it's about the USA.


I guess they could possibly go to Canada or Mexico, but that's about it.
