I want something like New Vegas, but off American town.

I honestly would like to see post-war China. They won, right? So what happens there? Is the country wealthy now or rather full of crisis?

Honestly, it'll be a great standalone DLC project for Bethesda, or maybe if they want Obsidian to make produce it, I really don't give a damn. But it's going to be different kick in Fallout and probably in gaming history. An open world, post apocalypse Chinese town, covered in 50s Chinese song, with Chinese-speaking VA. Still, I'm not sure how people in the west would react to this.

I say pick Rio. I always wanted to go there.

I live in Columbus and never knew that about Wright-Patt.

We do have several research facilities for the Battelle Institute around Columbus. They do work with all sorts of bio stuff and foreign intelligence anolysis (among other things), so there are government connections. There is also Ohio State and anything they might have done for the government in the name of SCIENCE! You could make Columbus and Dayton work for Fallout, but I don't think too many people outside of Ohio would care that much.

Chicago or New York, perhaps Yuma Az.

If the next Fallout is made by Bethesda, then either Atlanta or St. Louis- with a theme based either on the American Civil War or the migration westward. I'd much prefer that Obsidian get the next shot and have a continuation of the NCR vs. Legion story. Any city in that region would be nice.

Japan

Anime, mecha and godzilla

Below is the post I made in another thread, and to address some comments I think outside America wouldn't allow for the Fallout vibe, so It would be a game about the post apocalypse, but not a Fallout game. Like the people that mention the U.K. as an option in threads like these, there would be no Power Armor, none of the factions that have been in the game, so many things would be different enough that it just wouldn't really be a Fallout game.

I think the smart move would be the Pacific North West.

I could say Seattle, but that would be limiting.

It would allow for some Canada exploration, perhaps via a DLC, and from a real world point of view, having a satelite office in the northwest would conveniently give them a pool of software development people to hire.

It's coastal, has a few military bases in the area, a rainforest, and again, it's on the border with Canada.

If they emulate reality it would have an aerospace company that built the planes that dropped the Atomic bombs on Japan, and a software company that, without some slick salesman competitor with a mouse, would go on to make the norm a comupter that wasn't stylish or colorful or all that hack proof.

If they want to keep being able to reference the atomic age and the bombs, and have some leeway in story with the altered reality of an American annexed Canada, then it's a good place to go

This right here. The Chinese are the face of the baddies, but what happened to the Russians?

I'd go for that. What does Shady Sands turn into? What exactly is a post-apocalypse republic anyhow? There's no way it could look like modern America.

It's really tedious seeing nothing but subsistence farming and scavengers raiding pre-war buildings 200 years after the war. Those buildings would have been picked clean inside a decade, and should have all fallen down in the following century. Any homeowner who's had to maintain a property could tell you that a wood frame house does not survive two hundred years of neglect. And how have the survivors done nothing in the last two centuries? Two centuries ago from now horses where a major mode of transportation, while currently we're rocketing robots to other planets. Given the same amount of time, how can no one in Fallout even figure out how a wheel works?

But enough about my suspension of disbelief issues.

New York or Miami
