In short No.

Although a spin-off could take place in Europe, but the main series should stay in America

agreed it would take away from the Main plot

The only nations that MIGHT provide for an interesting foray would be:

The Dominion of Canada(Very similar to the US, and common language)
The Soviet Union(Major player period).
The United Kingdom(Due to it's international recognition and common language)


I think China is a more of a major player than The Soviet Union.

Because like good samaritans they have to rid the world of evil and help civilization rebuild itself.

I made a topic about this, but someone closed it. It said: Please stop asking about this.

Fallouts should ALWAYS be in america.

Every single thing would change, aside from the apocolypse.

No government:No vaults
No RobCo: Most robots gone
Different place: ENTIRELY different lore
No Power Armor: No BoS
No U.S.A: No enclave

And retrofuturism. And ghouls. And a whole bunch of other stuff.

No government:No vaults


Each country had a government, likely with its own nuclear shelters.

No RobCo: Most robots gone


Only two robots appear in all Fallout games - Robobrains and Mr. Handys. And the latter ones were not made by RobCo, but by General Atomics International. And who says that RobCo didn't export their robots abroad?

Different place: ENTIRELY different lore


Not necessarily ENTIRELY.

No Power Armor: No BoS


As for power armor, there are ways of including it. As for BoS, good riddance.

No U.S.A: No enclave


The Enclave didn't appear in FO1, and I very much hope it won't appear in any future game, regardless of where it's set.

Reminded me of Middle Earth, lulz.

Fallout: England you say? Being a Briton myself, I'd like to say, it'd be pretty bad. Here in England, as you can imagine, we don't have the amount of firearms you have (civillian or military owned) so you'd have very few guns. Saying that...It'd be a nice twist, making melee more of a needed skill and making small guns take a back seat for once. Roll on the cricket bats! Grab your hockey sticks! Man the crumpet launchers (those don't exist, but that would be THE best custom weapon EVER)!

Having Fallout set anywhere other than the US would be like a Mad Max game set anywhere other than Australia. It would svck beyond comprehension.

I am not against another continent but I rather not support it since I like the America theme, I think they did nice with a couple of Immigrants from the Brittish Isle's ...

I, personally, would think a Fallout game set in the UK would be awesome. While our 50's culture is different I believe it could work pretty well.

Imagine 28 Days Later coutryside & the sequels inner city urban areas with the British fashion and designs (think Tube Trains, Boarding Schools etc) = Epic :fallout:

Also first post so....Hi!

Biggles. You know our country wouldn't be particularly great. Admit it! Although, I do admit blowing off Ghoul's heads in the garden of a rural cottage would be epic, or taking down Raiders with a metre ruler in a boarding school...It just wouldn't work. A lack of small guns is my main argument, and it still stands. I'd like to see the British equivalent to Vaults, the BoS (Maybe; The Sisterhood of Coal), then again...The BoS could set up in Sheffield! We could have the Enclave...But with Gordon Brown as its leader (freeze him). Then we'd be screwed.

Fallout: Ireland

Everyone was too drunk to even notice there was a nuclear war.


I take offence to that, I live in America but most of the actual IRISH people that still live in Ireland work hard to make a living AKA my grandparents who still run an incredibly old farm. Off topic: Sheep riding is fun 4 everyone, you get on them and then they :bolt:

But seriously Fallout Ireland would have a lot to offer the Fallout World. Even if Ireland didn't get hit directly by nukes it would still suffer the Radiation from the water considering that almost all the rivers in Ireland are connected to the Ocean.

The Enclave of Ireland could be held up inside of some of the large castles, infact the Irish military still uses some of the castles for bases kind of like Adams AirForce base. and becuase the BoS are probably not in Ireland the IRA could be like the BoS of Ireland, The Irish Republican Army is technically a terrorist group but they are fighting for the right causes. They are trying to make the British give back the last part of Ireland to the Irish, they don't hate the Britiksh they just want to let everyone know that it is THEIR LAND. So the IRA could be the BoS of Ireland cause they are trying to get rid of the Enlcave and because of the small towns and villages the BoS could have better established bases and there could be more trade caravans. The only problem would be is trying to get different irradiated animals on the scene.

I dunno, I personally feel Americana is an important element of the Fallout franchise. All-American 1950s family values and Cold War culture are vital parts of the games' propaganda and aesthetic.

I suppose Russia could work, because Russia is a country that seems like an appropriate setting for post-apocalypia. It's a vast landscape that lends itself well to bleak settings, and even today there are abandoned bunkers, silos, bases, and other remnants of the old Soviet military-industrial complex littering the landscape. Not to mention the fact that Russia was a major player in the Cold War.

Besides that, though, China is simply too alien to the setting, and smaller European countries just don't have any emotional resonance for most of the target audience.


I agree with most of that, although China would be interesting precisely because it's the opposite side of the great war. I'd like to see propaganda posters of countless brave chinese soldiers overwhelming capitalist devils in their nefarious armor suits.

Russia is kind of bland in terms of geography because of its size and general uniformity. It's basically just a big forest and some tundra. China has vast mountain ranges, tropical jungles, parched deserts, the great wall, great cities with a mix of modern and ancient architecture, etc. etc. etc.

And in case you didn't notice, Fallout's not set in the real world today, so it doesn't matter how many abandoned bunkers or bases Russia has, fictional China probably has more considering Russia is mentioned in Fallout once and Fallout 3 once and never again. It's clear that Russia is not important by the time the Great War occurs in Fallout's timeline.

So norway would be screwed! We're neighbours with russia.


I had an impression that Norway is neighbours with Sweden. (yeah. norway has some borderline with russia in northernmost part of the country.
Finland has a long borderline with russia.

if they did russia it would be cool because of course keeping with 1950s culture there would be a fully communist soviet state albeit a largely destroyed state and the government can talk about fighting the capitalist pigs and stuff like that.

i also think that london would be a pretty good place for fallout as its a large area, plenty of unique locations etc.

but i really think if they did a fallout outside of america it would have to be in canada which was annexed or even on the alaskan border!
