I'd like NY if that one guy's idea (sorry i forgot your name, cool guy) with the Talon Company in charge of the Stock Exchange?

Agreed on the South as an interesting place to set it. I'm working on a novel set in my hometown post-apocalypse. However, at least as far as Tennessee is concerned, there is a [censored]ton of atomic energy and ordinance developed here, and the likelihood of post-nuclear survival is virtually nil. That's what I'm working on

You mean the New New Amsterdam where everything can be bought idea, I don't see why Talon Company can't use the Stock Exchange s their HQ. Maybe the government or Talon Company (or both) could use West Point for training. And there could be a slave liberating faction operating from the Statue of Liberty (Sons of Liberty?) or some Federals demanding Regulations operate from Union Square (Children of the Union?). Possibly the ECBOS can interfere and force people to accept their morals, obviously they can be destroyed, who needs morals when there's caps to be made? Maybe the New England Monarchy can try to take New Amsterdam to use as one of their key cities (renaming it New New York). I guess some streets would have to be taken out in order to size down the city, keeping only the landmarks.



It's nuclear history might just make it interesting. Watts bar Wattz bar IMO should be used as a weapon factory or something R&D related. It would hopefully be enough to reintroduce the Wattz series Energy Weapons, they look much better anyway, more like normal guns. Maybe it could house a ghoul society.

Come to think of it, I have designed a ghoul/mutant/robot/android killing Confederacy, and they use all SW laser weapons that are based upon German weapons (as well as some other German guns), I bet they'd be very interested in the facility, as would the MWBOS, and going with the Barnaky ending, I suppose the MLA wouldn't want either to end up taking the facility.

I also plan to do something with Sparta, Tennessee and the ancient Spartans, but unlike CL they would use modern weapons named or renamed after Greek mythology (like a miniphalanx, a minigun named after the Navy's Phalanx defense system), in addition to similarly named Poseidon Projects.

Sparta is definitely far enough away from Oak Ridge to stand a chance. Knoxville, especially as a major intersection of 40 and 75, would not fare as well IRL but maybe in a Fallout world it would. This one camp ground near Sparta, Rock Island, I could see that being a cool place to explore.

Also, I love the idea of having a Wattz R&D or factory at Watts Bar. That sorta goes with an idea I had for my story, with a power struggle over the TVA dam system to restore hydroelectric power. Still researching the feasibility though.

i agree, actually in an interview with todd howard about the making of FO3, he said the city area was originaly a lot bigger but they kept making it smaller because they thought it was too complicated, but i agree, i think a city just has more to offer, way more fun cruising around a city than a big open area like a desert, that was lame, but yeah cities have industrial areas, suburbs, skyscraqers, apartments, commercial and business areas, parks, airports, way more stuff going on. i'm pretty sure bethesda is into city environments, the dc area in FO3 was ok, it could of been a lot better actually, it was almost too destroyed but compared to new vegas it was superior and way more fun to cruise around.

The TVA (possibly renamed or just called the Federals after it being a federally owned corporation) might make an interesting faction, they could be related to the Enclave, have their own fallout shelters. They could force people off their land



As far as Sparta goes, I was thinking about a Vault experiment, where the entire town (possibly around 5000 people) was put into a normal Vault (indeed under Spartan conditions) and brainwashed with propaganda mimicking Ancient Sparta.

Anyway, I'll just take it over http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1166206-official-future-fallout-locations-suggestion-topic-4/
