DLC set outside of the United States

Post » Sat Dec 05, 2015 7:34 am

A fallout game set in Canada only makes sense, given the lore. I wonder, though, if we could see anything set in Australia and the surrounding area. Not the deserts, but the Outback and the many islands. I imagine that the seas would have gone to hell and back with radiation, but perhaps the science is against me on that subject. Imagine, if you will, Fallout 4 mixed with Assassin's Creed: Black Flag with a focus on flying and sailing your own ships along shorelines.

Or, a game set in post-nuclear India, maybe. Perhaps with alternate history seeing the European commonwealth trying to reclaim India from the west and China trying to invade from the east.

Or we could just play in Brittain, that's cool too, I guess.

Nope! The setting of Fallout is in the United States, as DemonsBlade has already stated - Plus, look at the potential other unexplored States have. No reason at all to venture into another country for a new title. As a DLC it would just be nonsensical and stupid.

And I agree with you, Mortis. The California Wasteland would look incredible realized with this engine. The desolate desert.......

Mostly because it is mentioned in game. The Pitt DLC references it a few times, and it seems like it could be an interesting location. Bethesda likes to tease abit aswell. We had the whole commonwealth as a minor thing in Fallout 3, and it became the next major location in Fallout 4. Toronto as a DLC would make sense from a lore perspective and development one. I am sure that it will be one in fact.

Not just the desert (Death Valley/Mojave) but places like Yosemite, Sequoia, Lassen, Tahoe, Napa, the whole Bay Area as well.

If they do a DLC outside of America, I'd want it to be meant as a contrast to the Americanism in the base game. Fallout's always been an exploration of American culture, especially Bethesda's Fallout, but that doesn't mean they couldn't look at a different country with an American perspective.

Don't forget landmarks like Hollywood, or whatever the Fallout version of Disneyland is. I either want to see a remake of the first two Fallouts, or a new game that takes place in the same area to see what it's like nowadays.

sorry if already mentioned,

fallout tactics touched a little on the chinese weaponary and armour

they didnt have power armour and instead used gauss mini guns to counter american power armour, in which shredded power armour

i dont know if they had micro fusion tech as the gauss guns in fallout 2/tactics were ballistic weapons and were governed by the small guns/big guns skill rather than energy weapons.

in fallout 3 and beyond gauss guns have become energy weapons so i guess that kinda means they did??

would be cool if set in new zealand,escept we probably be untouched by nukes as we dont even appear on american maps alot of the time haha!!! no one would know where we are to nuke us :)

The major events are canon, but smaller details aren't.

First, sorry for my english, but here how I see a good DLC.

I would say, all regions involved in DLC.

Let's send us to North Pole, where you die after 15 minutes if you don't settle a fire camp by killing animal to get oil out of it.

Let's us make hole in ice to fish, get food and survive until we discover that there is something big under the ice, a submarine town build by who ever to survive nuclear radiations for these 200 years.

And ready to wipe the life in surface if you don't stop them !

And after that, all is possible !!!

Voted big fat NO.

What makes Fallout series unique is the retro-50s Americana flavor and setting. Put it anywhere else outside the U.S. and it just becomes another random post-apocalyptic game.

Changing the flavor and setting is what ruined the Assassin's Creed series, please don't wish the same thing upon Fallout.

Yes. I really want to know how the war affected other nations.

I'd like it in Turkey. Mostly because I'm Turkish but also because it is situated between Europe and the Middle East. If I remember correctly, the resource wars were fought between Europe and the Middle East. Turkey, being caught in the middle (geographically and politically) would have suffered a lot. It could still be a very turbulent war zone when the player visits.

I doubt that was because of doing a opinion poll for a DLC outside of the US... Haven't read your topic but I feel pretty confident it was something else that made admins lock it. So what's your point?

Because you were spamming.

You were also asking for a GAME outside of the US, which does not pertain to Fallout 4 and belongs in the post the mod linked you to.

Going through the list...

No FEV, well its a virus so there is no reason to think it was contained with in the US once it was released, so that would allow regional creatures created by the FEV. Super Mutants I suppose could reach any location the player could reasonably reach.

No BOS, probably not in force, but again anywhere the player can reach East Coast BOS can reach (although that depends on the main story outcome) and its now canon that they send out scouts to other areas.

No Enclave........again if the player can reach it, then in theory the airmobile Enclave could have evacuated some survivors there as well.

NCR and Legion are unlikely to appear in any but minor references in any of the main Fallout games, at best they will be limited to West Coast spin off games if there are any planned.

Any DLC or expansions they add I'd prefer they stick to adding onto the current map.

No Operation Ancorage or Mothership Zeta style DLC please.

An expanded map? Yes.
New factions? Yes.
New weapons? Yes.
Expanded settlements? Yes.

I'm not against another country, but I'd prefer it be in a New Vegas style stand alone.

I'd like any expansions or DLC to expand on the map my character is currently in.

So I have read through every post on this topic to get everyone's view on the subject. now here is why I voted yes to a DLC outside the US.

Even though America might have closed themselves off from the rest of the world doesn't mean that other countries didn't loose all of their collective intellect. they would have had their own scientists and inventors. there is also several hints through out the game series about possible spy activity. which could mean that some of the American tech everyone is saying wouldn't exist outside of the US could have found its way into the hands of said scientists/ inventors. The other countries didn't fall to third world status just because America closed itself off.

possible locations more than likely wouldn't include island locations such as Hawaii, Cuba, Dominican Republic as the seas "boiled up" and would have totally decimated everything on said islands.

I understand wanting to know how "the other side is fairing" however an American showing up in China would probably be a really bad thing. As the American mindset in the game is geared towards fear and hate of Chinese. I would think that the Chinese feel the same towards Americans. I personally wouldn't want to finally make it all the way to China just to have the whole country after me.

Going off the basis that other countries moved along at the same tech pace as America and that there were spies going both directions, one possible bases for a DLC would be the BoS finding a bit of intel about an interesting piece of tech in another country that they send you and your companion to retrieve. they would drop you at this location via worrlybird (sp?) and arrange pick up once mission is complete.

( possible spin-off) Another form of transportation that has already been mentioned is the spacecraft. As of the end of FO3 it was still up there waiting for you to return for more fun.

To the argument that the basic theme of FO is America during the 50's (sort of), during that time in history there was a lot of travel to other countries, both for Americans and others, there was a lot of mixing of cultural influences. So some of the background items/scenes/music may change a bit, but overall the 50's where the 50's.

Oh, and one more thing. there is no way a project as big as the Vault system could have been completed without joint support from foreign entities, so those other countries could of had the tech to do similar things in there countries.

Sorry for the long post ;)

Considering both Canada and Mexico were US territory in Fallout, I could easily see a game or DLC set in either since they will in effect be americanised and would also have larger occuping military presences pre-war so lots of military tech to loot, also both would likely have the same or similar creatures. Both would recognisably be Fallout and both would be interesting to visit....and shoot the locals.
