Yes I m all for fo outside the US.

There is quote floating around this form. Its Tim Cain saying something along the lines of....... hes interesred in exploring the post apocalyptic WORLD ......... Maybe he meant United States, but thats not what the quote says.

Only Cain could tell you where or what the series may have done if black isle didn t go bankrupt.

Bethesda owns the series now, and I have faith that they will make a block buster no matter where the setting is.

It doesn't at all? The fallout occurred all over the world, it doesn't say anywhere it has to be in the states


Yes, the whole world was destroyed, but part of the point of the game is to poke fun at America's culture, past and present. It would be difficult to accomplish this outside of the US.

I believe Canada would be a perfect place for a Fallout game, considering the fact Canada was annexed it had a lot of US people in it when the Great War happened, and even if it didn't whats to stop people from going up into Canada? But anyways why is Canada a perfect place for a Fallout game? Well the cities in Canada aren't that large so if a single Nuke was to hit one it would all be ruins, and the Canadian country side would make for a perfect wasteland, trust me I have spent a long time in the Canadian country side. The best place in Canad for a Fallout game is Drumheller in my opinion of course.

Why? It was a global catastrophe, not just something that happened in the US. I wouldn't even mind having a Fallout game based in Europe, that dealt more with the EU's conflict with the Middle East during that period rather than just the conflict between the US and China. And what was Russia doing during all that turmoil? There's no reason why the Fallout universe can't be expanded into other areas. Maybe even China itself. They would have suffered just as much devastation as the US did.

This

As well, why is this in the Fallout New Vegas General Discussion, this should be in the Series or Universe sections, as this has nothing to do with New Vegas.

Please,

I think Canada could be made to really fit the game.

If one of our cities is not big enough for it then use the entire country. Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa, Edmonton, St. Johns Newfoundland.
All these cities could be part of it.

And we have some really good sites which could cause extra havoc. Pickering Nuclear, Darlington Nuclear, Bruce Nuclear and the military base in Alberta to name a few.

The Rocky Mountains would be a fantastic location. And why not a secret base or something wayyyyyyyyyyyyy up in Nunavut.

My only request is the the province of Quebec gets TOTALLY wasted better than Megaton from Ten Penny Tower. Gentilly Nuclear could do that near Trois River.

For those who think the game could and should only take place in the U.S., I say I am sorry for you. For being so short sighted and self centered.

And for the final part, let them find a secret base of Avro Arrows.

Now there could be a sweet game.

Again, part of the point of Fallout is to poke fun at American culture. Obviously, the Great War destroyed every country, but Fallout is about a fictional McCarthyist American Golden Age in the midst of an energy crisis that leads to nuclear war. Much of Fallout's "flavor" is rooted in America, and it would be offensive to try and capture that flavor in a country where the whole of American culture is represented by McDonald's and Burger King.

Oh god... I have the most horrible environment ever conceived. The Tar Sands... nuclear wasteland, and with Deathclaws or other horrible enemies. Run if you can, but don't slip or you'll boil to death in irradiated and boiling oil. Nothing but broken down mining machinery, trucks, doom tar pits, radiation, and f course Deathclaws.

Edit
The Great Leaks would just be gigantic husks, with only small pools of water left. Perhaps a high salt content due to the shrinking of the lakes? Enough that small abandoned ghoul infested towns dot the area, all doomed to fail because they never had any hope in hell of having drinkable water.

I don't know how many times we have to have this argument.
What makes Fallout- "Fallout"- is the sci-fi futuristic feel that comes from how Americans viewed the future would be in the 1950's. It's where the timeline diverged from our own. That's what makes the game unique. If you remove that aspect of it, then you just have Metro 2033 or one of the other millions of post apocalyptic games.

Do a 50's Canadian view of the future, and mix with American view? We could show the culture clash that was going on at the time. Would be interesting to see say... Toronto all done up with American propaganda and perhaps them even taking over companies, but in more rural areas seeing things more Canadian.

It can still be done while retaining that feel, it just sounds like an excuse to keep it in the states.

Alternatively redefine what a Fallout game is. ;) < Cheap smart ass answer.

I'd see Fallout 4 taking place either http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/2175/fallout4mapnode.jpg or http://imageshack.us/m/5/5079/fallout4mapnode2.jpg.

Edit: Just mind the purple outlines. I used a template I have when discussing what areas Fallout has covered so far.

Oooo... I know how this can work. The battle of the two cities.

Toronto and New York battling to survive, and perhaps old grudges? They are both huge and significant, and it would still allow the game to technically be in America.
