I think that most of the world would become a desert so any place in the U.S would work but I'd rather have it in Chicago

Yep, me too. And even that would be a bit desert-ish, as seen in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kxq3Rmq1ho.

Actually androids are from Massachusets, all we've heard about Canada is a military force called Ronto that's either from Toronto, Ohio or Toronto, Canada.

Four corners area... still gotta go wit it.

Major riverways, desert, grasslands, forests, mountains

Indian ruins, mines, the grand canyon, one of the only fully functioning coal burning trains left, NORAD, geological uraniaum

My friend NORAD is confirmed toast, pretty much.

I really don't care where it is next set, I have no preference.

May have been, but isnt actually confirmed as VB isnt canon.
only that theres no reply (ooooh a mystery that good writing could wrap a story around!)

even if it were decimated:
short answer... so was tthe pentagon

longer answer.....
people on the other side of the fourth wall wouldn't know if its there or not, but may have journied there anyway, thinking they might get aid or that there there may be a protected societyor even just for the sake of scavenging military grade tech and arms... worst case scenario, there could aslo be a large gouhl contingent... maybe even a large couhl contingent of technophiles.... ahhh possibilities

I was thinking more of the ominous "offline" on http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/PoseidoNet.

"As the heart of the defense network, NORAD predictably found itself a primary target in the hypothetical war written by Chris Avellone in the Fallout Game Bible. According to both the game bible and design documents for Van Buren, the entire area was reduced to a severely radioactive crater.

Insofar as Fallout 2 was concerned, NORAD was listed merely as a footnote, buried in the network script of the Gecko Power Plant computer terminal. NORAD is listed as 'offline.' "

VB has it destroyed with Ghouls )still a point of interest)
F2 has it offline.. hardly proof positive of anything more than a loss of communications..

and like i said. just because we know its "offline" doesnt mean that people from the reigion wouldnt still seek out the place in hopes that it was still there.

Yet the only locations confirmed as active are those that we physically see in game. Maybe there is something there, besides I think that Tactics took place at Cheyenne Mountain.

What about Vault 0 from Fallout Tactics? Isn't it located in the Cheyenne Mountains aswell?
Fallout Tactics would be considered more canon than Van Buren, methinks.

I consider Tactics Canon and Van Buren not canon. It was not finished and therefore not canon. The Bible is only semi-canon and like it or not Tactics canon so it trumps the Fallout Bible. Its possible NORAD was moved or was somewhere inside Vault Zero.

Bethesda said "High-Level Events" of Fallout Tactics is Canon. Can't ge more 'High-Level" then Vault Zero and the Calculator.

This is why for the longest time people called Tactics none-canon. They we given information about Van Buren. Saw that Cheyenne Mountain was to be a large glowing crater. Since Van Buren was to be Fallout 3 they trashed Fallout Tactics. Van Buren gets axed and people never got over the shock. Holding onto the hope it will be published someday. Seven years later its clear that hope is dead.

Tactics is Canon and trumps the Bible and Van Buren.

ya, i didnt really want to bring that up, cause of the whole semi-canon issue
Only brought up VB as a worst case to show that it could still be useful as a location.

haha i dont want to over canon-ize the issue.
just trying to illustrate that it could be a useful location, regardless of it being there, possibly there, or kingom come

Its not useful as a location. Unless its Vault Zero, HQ of the Midwestern BoS. :celebration:

no, even if it is not, it could be a mecca for goul factions.
It could have a settlement around its outskirts from people frying to flee to it after the great war, hoping ofr shelter in its interiors (there or not)
Scavengers hoping to find military tyech and weaponry.

reagardless of who you want there, a case could be made for "people" being there

My reply to a topic that just got locked before I got to reply:


I did not like the driving in Borderlands at all. And the driving in Rage looks like it's just the same. I think it's how light the cars feel, they turn really quick, they can drive over really weird terrain, up steep hills, almost drive on walls, if they flip over they bounce alot and land on the wheels again like a cat and it feels like it takes no damage or anything. It feels so wrong.

I would like cars in Fallout, but to be somewhat a rare sight. They'd be heavy, and feel heavy. Move slow (compared to the two games I mentioned) and not be a really awesome terrain car that can drive and jump over all things. Crashing into things would slow it down drastically, damage the car and even you (so that you don't try to roadkill super mutants, or crash through car wreckages without losing speed or anything. If you drive carefully, or have a vehicle equipped with a plow (which makes it even slower), then you can push debris away.)

I'd like vehicles just for a bit faster way of transportation than running, a place to store a lot of stuff, extra armor when getting attacked by raiders and small arms fire, et cetera. Not for racing, and "jumping", and crashing through stuff without any consequences. Slow, but sturdy cars. If they can catch that feel, I'll be happy.


:foodndrink:

I was thinking about the future of fallout after beating NV, and it hit me, Michigan theres so many things u can do if u set fallout 4(or whatever u r going to call it) in Michigan think about it what would be batter then Michigan!
and if u do take my ideal make it so we can drive cars cuz whats the point of being in Michigan if u cant drive!!!!!!

P.S sorry for my bad spelling i'm just happy and i cant stop coming up with ideals!!! my brain is going to blow!!

Ever Fallout game has desert in it, get over it.

Yep, the Fallout universes version of a post nuclear world is a massive desert all across the nation.

And yet there is still oxygen...

Deserts aren't devoid of plant life

Yeah, but not exactly enough to support life on earth.

A lot of the worlds air comes from the ocean.

For those that don't know American history. Google "Dust Bowl 1930s" The midwestern united states pretty much became a desert. Same with parts of Canada. It was caused by poor farming practises. Just imagine what would happen if the place was nuked to hell. America for the most part would be nothing but desert. The great plains of North America don't get much rain thats why its all prairie in the middle of North America and not forest. Simply not enough rain to support forests. East Coast of North America without humans would become forest again. After a nuclear war that might not be the case. The deserts of the midwest would move into the east and weather patterns would change.

“Technology is slowly reintroduced into the land. Irrigation systems are established, brining water to the barren soils for the first time in decades.” Fallout Tactics endings.

You forgot about South Carolina, that would be better than Michigan. Actually any other State short of Cauliflower (which is overdone) and DC (which isn't a State and has been demonstrated to be filled with lazy folk) any State beats Michigan, even Nevada (Vegas is such a small part of Nevada, we need larger maps, with nodes). Canada, or whatever they like to call it after annexation, would beat Michigan as well.

Also, I think the South would have to be overgrown, and I think that would make a nice change in scenery. Forests and farms for the Southern wasteland.

TBH, there is also a lot less life on earth.
