Ha ha, that would be an amusing twist. Turns out only america was nuked and everyone else is fine.

I think the people just have got tired of US. After all, THEY invented the bomb that nearly destroyed humanity.

I would like a fallout game set in Europe, becuse of the cultures. It could be one city that survived, in the middle of Europe, perhaps Berlin. ( Though I highly doubt the would skip to nuke that city . It would be moore realistic to have Stockholm ).
That city has been in the middle of conflicts a long time. WW1, WW2, the cold war.
Imagine that all of Europas survivers from the different parts would go to Berlin. Swedes, russians, english, spanish...
That would be a intersting game, both political, action and humerous

I have only played Fallout 3.

We know America is a nuclear wasteland.

But I wondered about other countries.

They cannot all have been involved in nuclear war.

Like island places like Britain or Hawai. Or hidden islands. A island would have avoided the nuclear bombs more because they are not attached to other countries I would think. Even if they were close to a nuked country they would be less perhaps.
Hawai might be part of America though maybe. So they might have been hit.

Did other countries avoid the nuclear war or be worse?

What about China? I know they invaded America at some point. What about them now?

I presume nuclear bombs went out of America as well as in.

So who else got nuked?

Maybe some of the world is radiation or nuclear free.

Were America and China two superpowers and they had lots of countries in alliance with them And they got nuked when America and China did?

Or were some seperate and out of their war and avoided being hit?

Were other countries at nuclear war with each other?

Do people come to america from other places?

Are other places worse?

There are other races there.

There is Colin Moriarty, who is Irish. And I think Tennpeny is English. Not got to him yet in game.


What about space? Did they collonise other planets?

There are space vehicles.

The Delta Rocket to Mars. The Virgo II Lunar Lander.

Are there colonies in space that are not irradiated?

Or did they aim nuclear bombs at them too in the nuclear war/s?

So many questions. :rolleyes:

It is such a intersting and disturbing game.

The planet has a future obviously. There are people allover Fallout 3 of various degrees of technological advancement.
The nuclear threat and it's consequences are too obvious for them to make the same mistakes again.

It would be good if they made a Fallout game in other countries maybe.

Or over many countries.

Look guys, all the intro quotes from all the previous Fallouts which confirm global nuclear anhilation aside, why don't we just bite the bullet, pop-in Fallout 3 and reach the part in Mothership Zeta where we have a massive view of the Earth and just realise that the whole world is a wasteland.

Actually, europe was wiped out, the Middle East and England(?) were both destroyed by their own nuclear arsenal.

Every nation was involved, everyone needed resources.

War... war never changes. You ever read a Canticle for Leibozwitz?

OK, why does everyone keep arguing that the countrys were or were not anihalated? Like agent_c keeps saying THERE IS NO BLOODY PROOF THEY DO OR DON'T EXIST! And remember FO3 was NOT created by the original fallout creaters, so Bethesda could have just made those british people up just to screw with you. North America is called the mixing pot because so many cultures are in it. It wouldn't be uncommon to find diffrent races. Remember There are Black people in Fallout!

No. Not the sort of thing I read.

It is a tad unlikely that stupidity would be removed completely but the obvious radioactivity would be a large reminder. And the fact they have to struggle to live sometimes means they would'nt be getting to the nuclear weapons part again for a while.

Like I keep saying, there is.

See Fallout Intro.

Yes Boradam is Right. We know what happened to the World.

War. War never changes. The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth. Spain built an empire from it lust for gold and territory. Hitler shaped a battered Germany into and economic superpower but war never changes. In the 21st century war was still waged for the resources that could be acquired, only this time the spoils of war were also its weapons, petroleum and uranium. For these resources China would invade Alaska. The US would annex Canada and the European Commonwealth would dissolve into quarrelling bickering nation states bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth. In 2077 the storm of World War had come again. In two brief hours most of the planet was reduced to cinders and from the ashes of nuclear devastation a new civilization would struggle to arise.

War. War never changes. The end of the world occurred pretty much as we had predicted; too many humans and not enough space or resources to go around. The details are trivial and pointless, the reason as always purely human ones. The Earth was nearly wiped clean of life. A great cleansing, an atomic spark struck by human hands quickly raged out of control. Spears of Nuclear fire rained down from the sky. Continents were swallowed in flames and fell beneath the boiling oceans. Humanity was almost extinguished their spirits becoming part of the background radiation that blanketed the Earth. A quiet darkness fell across the planet lasting many years. Few survived the devastation..

War. War never changes, since the dawn of human kind when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything from God to justice to simple psychotic rage. In the year 2077 after millennia of armed conflict the destructive nature of man could sustain itself no longer. The world was plunged into an abyss of nuclear fire and radiation but it was not as sum had predicted “the end of the world.” Instead the apocalypse was simply the prologue of another bloody chapter of human history. For man had succeeded in destroying the world but war, war never changes.

IN SHORT:

Every country got nuked, even small ones like Lichtenstein and Wherethefucistan. O.k. so not every square inch was nuked but apart from small fishing villages in the artic circle every settlement was blown to the four winds.

HOWEVER, that does NOT mean that there are no people outside of America, they are just in the same boat, maybe better off maybe worse off, we don't know. (Hopefully we will find out when the "but then it won't be Fallout cuz I love repetition" crowd shushes)

Yes all the countries would have been nuked. It's kind of short sighted of people to say that due to the resource war Europe and the Middle east are "Gone". They would be in the same state as America.

Sure they wouldn't be in good condition, but there would be survivors in other countries too.

It would be slightly (Extremely) different.

You wouldn't have FEV (No Super Mutants), no Vaults (They were exclusive to america.) , no power armor (Made in america, parts in china. ), and etc.

The Middle East and Europe nuked each other, and america probably helped with that.

There would be survivors in other nations yes. Would there still be countries? NO. America is not the United States of America in Fallout. Its just a wasteland with many factions making their own new Nations. Other parts of the world same things would be happening. Still as Boradam pointed out, only America had FEV, Power Armour, Vaults, Micro Fusion Cells and Robot.

Ok so lets have Fallout UK then. No Enclave, no BoS, no super mutants. It wouldn't be desert or sprawling metropolis wasteland. Sounds like the change people have been calling for :biggrin:

I agree. Normally I think United Kingdom is not interesting as a subject. But it makes a interesting settings for games sometimes.

Resistance Fall Of Man is set in United Kingdom. And that is a awesome game. The setting makes it more interesting. Somehow the setting in a destroyed and Chimiera invaded UK make it a lot more sinister and scary. But RFOM is scarier, darker and more hard than Resistance 2 anyway.

And other countries and places could have had diferent technology. Diferent types of vaults and fallout shelters. Deferent monsters and mutants. Diferent weapons and armour.

A Fallout game in the UK would be good.

Or like someone else said, one set in a European capitol or area. With lots of races.

Or in Japan or China. If they set it in Asia it would be good. I am curious about China because it was strong enough to invade America, lol.

A Fallout game in Asia would be cool.

I was surprised the entire Fallout series is set in America , to be honest. I would have thought they would have made one or more with other countries by now.

All those transcribed intros to the games tell you is the world got destroyed in a nuclear war. They don't say there is no people or other countries or anything beyond 'the world got destroyed by nuclear war'.

When I said countries, I meant the general geographic land mass and the state meaning. A country is still a country. Even if it has no large govournment and it has split into republics and city states or whatever. It is still going to occupy the same ammount of space as before, the same geographic borders, the same indigenous wildlife and resources.

So there is no reason why there would not be people, places and stories there.

And yes, if you set a game in China, for example, you would still call it China, like America is still called America, though there is no large govournment.

?_?

as usual every one has forgotern about Australia!!

we are the ones with something like 40%of the worlds uranium reserves!
although we dont have nearly as many reactors (only one medical -lucas heights-)
and with our links with china and the US puts us in a political mid ground.
there are now where as many guns, thanks to various buyback schemes.
rad Roo's would be really deadly! and not have boxing gloves!
kangaroos have an elongated middle toe that they use to rip their rivals gonads out!
no need to kill a rival, just newter them!!!

i can't think of his name right now... but the guy that gives you a ride to point lookout said something about traveling to other place in the world and does trading with them

The answer to this question is nobody really knows. We have some clues given to us in the game intro's but are they correct is the question here. We don't know who the narrator is, for all we know he could be a tribal shaman or a historian from year 3011.

It's also kinda funny that everybody expects that there would be someone coming from Europe or where ever to North-America. Why doesn't anybody from America go seek for other continents or why hasn't anyone came back from the journey. I think that everyone has too much in mind all-over the world, you can barely survive as it is so why would you risk a overseas trip to unknown.

Also we all know how the war has affected the wildlife, they've grown huge compared to their unmutated brethren. So we don't really know what's there in the seas. There could be mutated sharks and squids of gargantuan proportions that could tear your ship apart anytime. So we it could very well be that someone has tried to make a trip overseas never to come back.

Tobar on the boat says he used to trade with The Commonwealth. That is in Massachusets I think. Dr Zimmerman, Armitage and Harkness from The Replicated Man quest come from there.

One of the npcs, Herbert Dashwood on his terminal, says Colin Moriarty came over on a ship. Something like ' I met Colin Moriarty when he was a boy that had just got off the ship. Now he runs Megaton.'
So there must be ships and boats. A few, including himself, mention Moriarty came over on a ship or coming from another country.

So there must be ships that cross the sea.
