How do you think the world would be in 2782? Has the situation gone worse, or has the environment created new sorts of life? What do u think? :tops:

The most powerful factions fight it out, until just a handful are left. Nations like NCR take over most of North America. Same deal plays out all over the world. New Nations form and they form international trade once more. Super Mutants are long gone or super rare, the same with ghouls. As time goes by and nations form, humanity stays away from radiation, if there is any place still radioactive after all that time.

The Nations of the Earth do what they always do.. they start coming into conflict with one another. The most powerful try to force their influence on the weaker ones, and an arms build up happens. New technology is developed and old ones rediscovered and improved on. Possibly becoming more advanced then the pre-war world.

At some point, it all ends again in Nuclear War/Armageddon "War, war never changes." Humanity then once more has to slowly rebuild from the ashes.

A good book is "A Canticle for Leibowitz."

Its really impossible to gauge. Just look at the changes in the past 200 years in the real world; 500 years is more than enough time for civilations to rise and fall again

By 2782, North America or a portion of it will have probably been renuked by one faction or the other.

I think Canticle for Leibowitz was correct on man's capacity for destruction.

Earth would be rubble. Humanity would be in space and restart Fallout there. After all... you know what no.

Everyone is taking this the wrong way. :) In 2500 nations begin to advance on technology again, after all in 2200's they just have to fix up pre-war technology. In the 2500's they have technology for planetary flight in our own system, and some manage to terraform mars, and move to the moons of jupiter where similar proccesses take place. Then towards the time you stated, slip-space drives become available for military use only. and humans begin to expand weakening many tension of war and other things very quickly.

...Until aliens threaten the existence of human life, and many humans have to ally with each other and put their differences aside, but after decades of fighting things go back to normal with humans being selfish and things like that.

I always figured that within 200 years of Fallout: New Vegas, North America would be dominated by 2 nations. The lands west of the Mississippi River would be NCR. Who's system would be more or less pre-war US. East of Mississippi would be a sort of union between the Brother of Steel and the Commonwealth. This nation would be much more technologically advanced (far more than the pre-war US) would be less democratic and would have a very large android population. In fact it would probably be like BSG in which no one exactly knew who was an android and who was human. The two sides would exist uneasily, the NCR with its democracy and population, the BoS/Commonwealth with its technology.

The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth. Spain built an empire from its lust for gold and territory. Hitler shaped a battered Germany into an economic superpower.

But war never changes.

in real life, humanity would have already been rebuild by the first 100 years

in 2782, humanity would have reverted to magics and Fallout would turn into the happy Post Apocalypse land of Ooo
ADVENTURE TIME!

I guess it depends, if governments successfully stayed together and actually worked to rebuild I guess it could, but if its like the Enclave, nah.

I don't see North America ever beign taken by one nation. It's far too vast.

And I think people seemt o forget that resources such as oil, and uranium, the thigs that are few and far between in the Fallout Universe are what are required for a re-globalization. So I also don't see that happening again. Nations States will certainly grow, but across "the pond" communication and trade will never happen again. Across America, possibly, will actions in the core region be relevant to the eastern seaboard? Certainly, incredibly small actions have shaped the face of the entire world, one action brought us WWI and WWII, whcih in turn shaped the fate of the rest of the modern era. But I don't see America ever trading with China again. I don't see spaceships and I don't see the terraforming of mars.

Did you not learn about the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Sail in school? Mankind was able to travel around the world just fine without oil/gas and uranium. People are also rediscovering alternative fuels such as ethanol. Solar power and good old steam power.

Also there wasn't enough fossil fuel and uranium for the billions of people on the planet before October 23, 2077. With a world population far smaller then that, there would be enough to fuel another smaller industrial revolution.

So the future Fallout universe will be a mix of tech from through out throughout the centuries. Advanced tech from before the great war, to steam powered engines and ships with sails.

That's why to power huge ships they use other means of fuel such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterium And you make a fusion reactor with it. Then to go through space you use a slip-space thingy and however that works.

They will start rebuilding right after it happens, humans don't like to sit around and do nothing, well most humans anyway.

I mean this has been seen after natural disasters and other things like that.

Natural disaster? :spotted owl: WW3 is not a "natural" disaster ..

And humans would not have any place to rebuild after only 100 years.

Nahhh, they'd be squabbling over who shot what missile and how much it would cost to rebuild the place rather than just doing it for the sake of survival.
Money, money....Fat cats :)
You'd have more chance of smaller communities building better things in a shorter time than the goverment if they could keep organised and safe from attacks.
