A Fallout NOT in America?

Post » Sun Jul 31, 2011 12:14 am

Well, where do you guys think?

I think seeing what happened in Canada, even in some sort of DLC would be interesting, (me being Canadian =3). Of course, going Mad Max in Australia would be pretty sweet.

I do have to say, that it's about time we see whats going on in China, you know, the guys that nuked the States. We know next to nothing about them.


If were staying in the states, Nevada would still be cool. Area 51, New Reno, lots of areas to explore. Otherwise, New York might be interesting, if touchy. Since the twin towers would be seen destroyed in the game perhaps, and walking a blown out times square might be too much for some people.

The talk of how advanced the tech in the Commonwealth is intrigues me, that would be a cool DLC, and seeing California again would be interesting. A 3D Hub and LA and Hollywood would be cool. (I havent played the old ones much, I plan to beat them and tactics shortly.)

Keep it in America and keep pushing east from California.

Even setting aside whether a certain style of Americana is an integral part of Fallout or not there is no way an American game company could convincingly develop Fallout in a foreign world without the whole thing descending into inane stereotypes. Call me pessimistic but the Shi and Bethesda's foreigner characters in Fallout 3 cast a long shadow.

Only in Canada then, I'd say. Because if a Fallout game was in a non-english speaking country (and a country with too little Americana Retro-Futurism) then it would be hard for gamers to understand, unless the wastelanders of that country suddenly knew how to speak english, which would be weird 200+ years after the nuclear apocalypse where you most likely drop your secondary langauge.

For example, Fallout: Sweden
NPC: "Stanna! Sl?pp ditt vapen! Ange ditt syfte h?r, eller v?nd om!"
PC: "Ta det lugnt, jag ?r inte h?r f?r att br?ka. Jag s?ker arbete."
NPC: "Arbete, va? Vad f?r sorts arbete? Vi litar inte p? fr?mlingar h?r..."
PC: "Jag h?rde att det fanns en man h?r som beh?ver hj?lp med en viss grupp av ghouler"
NPC ".... Ok, sl?pp in honom!"

I would say it should go somewhere like Britain. I mean, it has such a colorful history, like that of America and it has such scenic locations people can't help but to explore. I wrote a failed story about life in FO Britain. You should check it out, it's called 'The Sunders'. I only got to like, Chapter 15, sadly.

If it had to stay in America, I'd say New York. I mean, it provides the same explore-ability factor like in DC. I mean, it was fun sifting through the DC ruins because such a major and scenic places is now a war zone. The same goes for New York, it has the metro we all know and love and it had gigantic skyscraqer buildings. It'd be fabulous to explore, FNV kept us too grounded (literally.) Everything in FNV was flat desert wasteland. I know it's how a wasteland SHOULD be, but since this is FO I was looking for something cool and amazing to explore. Metropolis areas like DC and New York provide excellent coverage of that.

It should stay in the US. I'd say maybe in New York or Chicago. I myself would much rather see the Fallout games always based in the states.

I think it needs to stay in America, as that how it was establishd, and I think Philadelphia would be an interesting place.

Fallout is American, we have threads about Fallout spin-offs (not called Fallout thought) in Russia and in the United Kingdom.

I'm going to report this thread, I think it counts as spam because we have a bunch of threads about this.
