Hi!

As the title says, would you want to see a DLC set outside of the US? I'm unsure myself if I'd truly would want to, I have a hard time justifying how the character gets there unless it is close (annexed canada, alaska, mexico) and the reason to go there. But one thing I do know, I'm dying for new information about the rest of the world! I'd love to see (even if it would be a very small part) europe, china etc. At the very least I want something related to it. A way for me to gain information about the rest of the world even if it doesn't involve travelling across the "border".

I'd really like to know what others think about it so feel free to voice your opinions!

EDIT

I doesn't neccessarily need to be focused on the character travelling to another part of the world to discover remnants of other societies. It could be a group of people planning an expedition outside of the U.S to see what awaits across the oceans. It feels like some wastelanders out there must have had an urge to see what's left of the world. Or simply going by the "grass is greener on the other side" kind of thinking. So a sort of expedition DLC, where a certain NPC or a group of NPC possesses means of travelling the oceans. Or a location with rumours of something valuable (the latter could ofcourse just as well be in the US which on a side note is something I'd like to see as well - an expedition DLC - in the us or not)

Just something that popped up in my mind, so decided to add it.

Another idea I had would be travelling and exploring an area with an american overseas military base (secret?) that could have been underground. Much like a vault and protected the military personnel and their families when the bombs fell. Perhaps their descendants would still be alive?

There's plenty of ways to spin it and personally I wouldn't see it as damaging to the already existing lore. A few hours of additional content giving us a glimpse of this alternate universe history/lore as a whole would, atleast for me, make the time spent on US soil more interesting in the future.

Could be cool. There is even a certain submarine in the game to take us there!

But as I understand it, there isn't much left outside of the US, population wise, nor much lore about it. But lore could be a blessing as well (free rains to make a new chapter in the Fallout universe)

fallout london please!

Toronto would be the perfect setting for a DLC. It is already mentioned in the East Coast lore and its right across the border from the US.

I was thinking the same thing.

I actually like the american setting in the fallout series. I mean it would be cool to see like a paris or london setting but I would prefer keeping it as it has been

Ronto has been mentioned in The Pitt, so Canada (which was annexed by the United States before the nukes were launched) isn't outside the realm of possibility.

ugh, not sure about London. It'd be basically a rinse and repeat of the game we have. No new environments. Perhaps a couple landmarks if we are lucky. China would be great, but I doubt it'd happen.

I'd rather have a dlc that involves taking to the high seas with the USS Constitution and fulfilling its mission. Damn you Weatherby Savings and loan!

Canada is Murica now so that doesn't count would be nice to see somewhere else though.
Also to above poster. May not happen but China makes the most sense we could catch a lift with a certain commie.

Maybe the BoS could fly us to Ireland. Boston has a lot of Irish influence in it's people, so it could staying in with the New England theme.

The Simpson home town, Springville, some place, (Earth?)

To travel to china with a submarine would take quite a bit of time though, but I guess that's a problem with most outside of the american continent

Is there any clear indication about the population amount in the rest of the world though? It's more a lack of lore telling us about the rest of the world. That there was a long bloody civil war before the bombs doesn't say much.

Ofcourse! But we're talking about a DLC location here, like the ones we've seen for fallout before. Not a new huge open world, but a location big enough for a couple of hours of exploration . But I agree I wouldn't like to see a fallout standalone outside of the US, wouldn't be the same.

Aye, if there would be a DLC located outside of the US - Canada seems to be the most likely candidate.

The Fallout IP is about America, but in the universe the United States anexed Canada, so I see no reason why a DLC can't take place in Canada. The issue would be the travel and how much stuff is passed on the journey to get there from Boston.

After playing FO4. I got to thinking how much I wanted either dlc or the next game to take place outside the US. I would love to see more exotic locals and enemies.

Njyah, I think anything beyond close by to the commonwealth, will probably deserve it's own game. Canada is probably it?

I don't buy into the... nothing, but the US, is left. In the US vaults, bunkers and technology helped whatever survivors there are, but I could also imagine that the US were more concentratedly hit, than quite a few places. Sure worldwide nuclear winter and global war would devastate much of the world... But... it does seem silly that eg. greenland, lake titikaka, timbuktu, outer mongolia, siberia and middle of nowheres were hit as much and nothing could survive... If the devastation were that bad and so much biomass died... would there even be enough oxygen in the atmosphere to support life in the US?

How about bringing others to the US? As a form of an invasion or just refugee like?

That'd be great. Could do with a change from the Americana.

It would be very interesting to find a portion of some country that went underground on a massive scale to avoid the conflict, and just pops up in the Commonwealth via extensive tunneling and super advanced underground rail systems that can traverse the globe in days. That way there could be any sort of terrain to explore below while you see how an underground civilization found a way to exist for 200 years. It wouldn't have to be too clean or advanced, just have a massive underground scope, like they just kept digging and digging. This could be underground somewhere like Iceland, who's surface is a total sprawling frozen wasteland like the glowing sea with snow/ice/volcanoes.

Perhaps Ronto, but otherwise, NO.

I am wondering do something like supermutant, deathclaw exist outside of US. because they are the product of FEV experiment for war so it is unlikely there is a copy of it outside of US. the only possibility I can think of is they traveled by feet to nearby area like Canada. but if visit place like London it is probably half of the creatures in this game will not be exist over there

I haven't read up on lore for years regarding the Fallout universe. But I think, that much of the world, didn't have any plans like the vaults at all. But as said, there isn't much lore surrounding it, so they could make anything up as they please almost.

But generally speaking, I don't see any hindrance in that. They could make up whatever they want really, in order to justify population. Like London for example. London have an extensive underground of tubes and sewer network. London basically stands on stilts with all the pillars in their underground (which of course, would cause massive collapse in case of nuclear attacks when talking realistically, but whatever) People could indeed been hiding down there, like they did during aerial bombings in WW2. London could be one giant underground vault / shelter. Just as an example. Other countries in Europe, sports mountains, and it wouldn't be far fetched that they build massive caves as shelters in those. etc. etc.

I answered B bc I wouldn't mind Ronto

Even though I wonder about the rest of the world, especially Europe, I also am aware that Fallout as a series carries an American spirit. The whole golden era and post-WWII imperialism with its undertones wouldn't carry over to anywhere else. So it's very risky and probably wouldn't be considered Fallout anymore. Maybe a clearly labeled spin-off so people are aware what it is.

I think the most problematic part is a lot of Fallout stuff with lore it most likely not exist outside of US.

Supermutant/Deathclaw - No FEV outside of US

Brotherhood of Steel - if their faction is now lot thinner just simply travel to west/east, i doubt they have the number to go even further

Enclave - US goverment in other country as big faction? nah

NCR - too far. Even going to Mojave they have thinned their military force too much (mentioned a lot of time in NV)

Legion - too busy being a savage and fight NCR

Outside of US they probably have to make up a lot of new lore and i think it maybe end up fallout clone as the game will seem lost a lot of stuff of fallout

A certain synth technology could defeat the issue of travel time. However beyond Canada I can not really see, they would have to forego much of the lore they have already established over many games. Survivors in other nations would have required companies like vault tech, which is perfectly feasible but why waste time establishing the same story when you can build off what already exists.

Honestly I think something like that would be better off as it's own game rather than just DLC.
