The United States of AMERICA. End of discussion, thread over, everybody go home, nothing to see here, folks! If you want a post-apocalyptic version of your country, make your own PA game series!

America, specifically, Detroit.

Yes, I will keep making this joke. No, you can't stop me.

Couldn't resist replying to this post.

Although I would like a fallout taking place in europe, i beg what ever higher entity has power over it (probably the devs) that they would keep vault-tec out of it. Vault (tec) is a purely an american based thing and it would screw the canon, and series up if they ever let that happen. This is because Vault tec started building the vaults when Europe was fighting the resource wars. They did not have the funds to build things like that. However, regular VIP Fallout shelters, those used to shelter the governments of nations and important people, are all over Europe and have been build since the fifties and/or sixties. Considering the Diversion it is very likely that these would have been build and it would be interesting to find out.

It is more likely to see stuff like the Red riders, Nuka Cola and hubris comics buildings/reference. perhaps even RobCo, but in my opinion definitely no Vault tec and Vaults. It would not make sense, and would make it seem like a cheap rip off from the series. It's basicly copy pasting the entire US to Europe. If they do Europe the should think of new stuff that add to canon, not overuse the old canon (they nearly crossed that line in FO3 but they can get away with it)

Europe was still fighting the resource wars when the bombs fell, it would be awesome to see that war, basically frozen in time, and survive that wreckage.

just my 2c.

(If you'd say Fallout shelter instead of Vault, " A new strong faction" instead of Vaul-tec and work it out some more, it might become something great.

Yeah, your right about that... hmm, what about... Fallout: the Great War. it begins about a week before the bombs drop. goes fairly linear until you enter the fallout shelter. then it gets free roaming. allowing you to wait until you want to leave the safety of the shelter. and opening to Chicago, or Huston. something like that?

Yeah something like that could work, given good thought and writing. For example: You are a student minding your own business living your life of studying (except that day, cause oct. 23rd 2077 is a saturday).

So instead of ruined Corvegas on the streets we get burned out, nuclear powered http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Minor, instead of skyscraqers we get suburban terraced houses and semidetacheds and instead of the BoS we get the Grenadier Guards with armoured bearskins.

In principle I have no objection, but for me a "post-apocalyptic role playing game" set in the ruins of the UK just wouldn't be Fallout. It might be a fine game, but not Fallout...

actually fo4 couldn't be set in the UK because we know how to win a war :celebration: , so bombs wouldn't fall in the first place.

Where in the world would you like to see fallout? don't make choices based on sotry about the great war and what not, just purely for a gaming experience.

Me? I'd say Australia. Why? one word, Rad-Roo :celebration:

I agree. It is nothing personal against other countries, but the U.S. is THE setting that Fallout is supposed to take place in. You can't take away the foundation of the series and still expect it to stand.

the US

Australia, That would be amazing.

Maybe, but it wouldn't be Fallout, it would be Mad Max.

Hmm, well I would like it to be somewhere lke England, in Cent or somewhere in the country side, and Vault 74 has just ran out of power, you the Vault Dweler has been send a mission to go out and find a new power console, but in doing so, an attack of Super Mutens had broken out, and it tore the Vault apart, no one when up had never came out, and then you go in the Weastland of Where here they put it in England and you and so on and so forth.
Get me, sorry about the spelling.

Let's just pretend for the sake of fiction that a bunch of puny colonies didn't whip the mighty Brits in the 1770s and 80s, and that said colonies didn't have to pull your proverbial fat out of the fire twice in the 20th century...

Even then, it's irrelevant because it's already established canon that pretty much everything got nuked. If England in the Fallout universe goes red enough that China won't nuke it, America will. If they stay democratic/capitalist enough that America won't nuke it, China will. You're toast, old chum.
