True but it could have branched of or had a rival company in a different country.

I would prefer the series stayed in the US but if the game had to be anywere else then the UK would be a good choice as it was very similer at that time to 1950s USA, same fashion, hope for nucular technology ect.

I'd like to see Florida.

Post Apocalyptic Berlin would look quite similar to early post WWII Berlin....

I think the next Fallout should be in Hollywood. Or maybe all or part of Los Angeles.

been there, In FO1 we visited the LA boneyard, the whole place was leveled to the ground....

The entire boot of Italy, man...

-The southern island of Sicily could just be BAD, and the only stuff you hear about it in the beginning are rumors of people who have gone there to work but have never come back, or people who have come back with limbs missing and such. It could just be a rumor mill until you take a rusted steamboat out there to do some work for an enemy organization (Raiders, Slavers, Mafia Family?) The mutation there could have been really bad, as it was the site of a new nuclear test for U.S. or China or something, and the animals that are mutated there could just be hellish and frequent...So the enemy organization sends people there to do all of the work, to kill them, etc.. (Kind of like the Steelyard.)

-Then, lost underwater, if you found a scuba suit (I believe there is a mod for it, hehe,) is Venice... You could search through the old buildings that are being lost to the water, maybe find some treasure? A clan of people who take refuge in a building that has not been engulfed with irradiated water, and have no way of getting out? A clan of people who still think it is before the war? A cult? Hehe, the possibilities are basically endless. Exploring Venice would necessitate the need for some mutated underwater enemies, I'd say...As well as a schematic for an underwater functioning weapon.

...Getting myself all excited..

im not american, but i dont think that it would feel fallout if it was outside of america. since the 3rd is around 200 after the 2nd, maybe we could revisit the western wastlands to see how it is now. maybe some of northern california where there is ice. or near mexico.

Tennesse :liplick:

London, without a doubt.

We really know so little about Europe in the FO universe and it would be great to find out more about the Resource Wars.



Unfortunately, most of the world is now rooted in American culture! The UK has (and had in the 50's) the same music, the same movies, the same attitudes, similar politics, not to mention the convenient fact that we share the same language (ish). We could have 'Teddy Boy' gangs instead of raiders which would be awesome. The UK was a member of the European Commonwealth, a United Europe would be at least as scientifically and militarily powerful as the US (In fact almost certainly more so) so there would have been a European equivalent of Vault-Tech (Or maybe Vault Tech had a European office?) Plus just think of the following locations:

Tower Bridge
The Telecom Tower
Big Ben (and the houses of Parliament)
Buckingham Palace
The Underground
The Millenium Eye (Maybe)
The British Museum
The British Library
The Thames
St Pauls Cathedral
Trafalger Square
Nelsons Column
Old fashioned red postboxes!
And much much more!

Just no annoying stereotypes please, had enough of all this 'Oy gov'ner', 'Cup of Tea and a crumpet' 'God save the Queen' [censored].

How did they get all the way to DC?

Fast travel, of course o.O

Fallout 1 is there, loosely.

Don't really care where it take place, as long it contains history and interesting background to such land.

I think the Southeast would be a good area. Of course, deeper down than DC. I'm talking, Georgia, perhaps. Atlanta would be a metro area, and there's no doubt Vault-Tec would've put a vault in that area.

Or, you could go a little higher and put in somewhere along the border of Georgia and Tennessee. Chattanooga and/or Dalton would probably have at least 1 vault, and there are quite a few historic sites there for atmosphere.

Does anyone like this idea?

Im in america, and ive oly ever heard of 1 of those places.



Anyways, if it were i another country no more enclave... :sadvaultboy: but we all Know theres a 99% chance its gonna be in america.

NYC its very iconic like D.C

I could see London as resembling Mega-City 1, with NuLabour being the Judges.

I'm not sure about setting a Fallout in New York - at least not as the main focus (ie a Fallout 4 set there as opposed to explored in a large-ish DLC or something.) I just think that "Post-Apocalyptic New York" has kind of been done enough times before that even with a "retro-futuristic Fallout twist" that it wouldn't really be bringing anything new to the table that hasn't already been explored pretty well in other movies and videogames. I mean, how cliched a post-apocalyptic image is a bunch of ruined buildings with a shattered Statue of Liberty littering the foreground?

I do think a Fallout game taking place in England could be an interesting avenue to explore. I think possibly the most compelling angle (and keeping with the retro vibe of the series) would be to draw parallels to WW2-era England, and the bombings of London. Obviously 50's-era Americana is a bit different than 50's-era England, so it could add some interesting cultural flavor to the game.

That said, I'm not so sure if it's that good a fit for a Fallout 4 as opposed to a spin-off. Even if we're talking about the exact same gameplay, there's going to necessarily be a lot of different story material to deal with for such a drastic change in location. You could make parallels to all the major elements of the Fallout series (a British version of Vault-Tek, Supermutants with a British accent, an anologue to the Enclave, etc) but I think that would be a cop-out and not taking full advantage of the opportunities available. But setting the next game in the core series in such a place with so little continuity to the previous games would seem odd to me as a direct sequel. Especially at this point where in many ways Fallout 3 is a series reboot that's just now establishing itself.

If the whole "Fallout: America" thing was actually starting to get stale, then it would make sense for a change of location as a refreshing change. But because in many ways (and to many new fans, I would imagine) Fallout 3 is effectively a fresh start already - then the timing wouldn't quite be right for another refreshing break. As a spin-off, or a large Shivering Isles-size DLC, I just think it would make more sense.

Note, however - that I'm not saying I wouldn't buy a Fallout 4 that was set in either of those locations. Or even that I would hold it against the game, or criticisize the decision of doing so. Just that given my druthers I'd rather see a different setting, and that we're not necessarily in need of setting the place other than in America at this point in time.

Actually, what I'd find interesting would be to explore the South. (Though like others, I'm likely just preferential to places I've already lived myself.) Florida has been brought up, and I think that could be an interesting location. New Orleans might also be kind of interesting (though it might be too soon, considering it's still recovering from Katrina - modern New Orleans is arguably already somewhat post-apocalyptic.) Also (though again, this might be better as a DLC) I'd be interesting in playing through Lyon's journey across the MidWest on the way to DC. Surely, there's an interesting story to tell about that.

L.A.
A post apocalyptic feel and a more in depth look at the Brotherhood might be nice.

Well, isn't Butch a Teddy Boy? :unsure:

Looks like the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BDVbxop-eo is doing a fair job of vandalising London!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJMjiCxHLdg, of course, was set in Britain (Scotland, specifically).

Just a short sidetrack, I thought Doomsdsay was interesting on two accounts: The reemergence of feudalistic society, complete with castle and medieval weaponry might make a fair bit of sense in Europe, as would, perhaps raider socialization as it appeared in that movie. I'm doubtful that either of those would happen in the US. I would expect a more Postman like situation here, with armed towns operating more or less democratically and gangs of raiders...although "raider" isn't really the term I want here... trying to make it out in the wilderness by praying on the weak.

That is, seems to me that there is fundamental outlook differences between the two societies.

Am I making too much of a distinction here? For our UK friends: How do you see a Fallout in your country? Would it be more like Doomsday, or more like Threads, or fundementally different than Fallout presents it?

Well, let's be frank here (OK, can I still be Garth?): Doomsday was a very silly film.

That over with ...

Britain has been "developed" for a lot longer than the US. In other words, the village church where most of my departed friends and relatives have been buried has scorch marks on the walls from when it was burnt down by the French in the 12th century. Sure, most castles are ruins, but a lot of the later ones are in very good condition (http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-bodiamcastle, in Southern England), and http://www.warwick-castle.co.uk/, which is in "useable condition" ... right up to http://www.windsor.gov.uk/site/things-to-do/windsor-castle-p43983, which is still actually used as a royal residence. Each of these castles was built for strategic advantage - well, ya know, fortified and all - but of course there are other, newer buildings that would be in better condition and even better placed to serve those needs.

The main question I have about Doomsday is the same question I have about Fallout 3 (and other post-nuclear adventures) - where on Earth do they get all that kohl pencil and hairspray? :blink:

It would be very difficult for a PA group to overrun even a mostly ruined castle using small arms. Small arms might be somewhat rare in Europe, compared to the US.

I don't quite understand what's being said here

Besides, whilst the U.S has only been the U.S for a little while, the continent itself has thousands of years of history, and Spanish castles still exsist in the Americas to this day, I saw one in St. Augustine, Florida only 9 months prior ^_^

Edit: Actually I don't think it's a Spanish Castle in St Augustine, rather a French Garrison. Still, my point remains

I wouldn't want Fallout in the uk for the personal reason that i hate the way America and most other western countries view Scottish people.

Despite the fact we have had some of the greatest minds to every live hail from these shores, we are viewed as ignorant drunkards who have no knowledge about anything apart from sheep,haggis and lager. Most people probably don't even know GTA is developed in Dundee...

But alas, if it was done somewhere here and was done properly with proper character development i wouldn't really care.

Still really want to see Fallout in Disney World though, just has potential for eerie moments for me.
