Did anywhere NOT get nuked in Fallout?

[Josh123914]

just wondering did anywhere NOT get nuked in Fallout because most of the major cities seemed to get leveled and even whenever places like New Vegas AREN'T nuked they still seem to be a wasteland, so aside from the threads obvious question another one would be which countries weren't affected? my guess would be the likes of Ireland, Finland, Norway and a few asian and african ones

Well, everywhere apart from Earth should be fine. Apart from the ones which are irradiated anyway.

I'd say Siberia would be pretty clear, but then again that's as survivable as your average nuclear wasteland even without radiation.

I also think that, while extremely fucked up thanks to the Resource Wars, parts of Africa and maybe some of the more backwater nations in Europe should be radiation-less. But then again, they were in tatters anyway.

Actually, The Pitt wasn't directly hit by nukes, but the radiation been rotting it to death.

I would've thought Africa would'nt be directly obliterated, just severe radiation poisoning, unless NATO siezes the oportunity to take out Mr Mugabe. I would love to see a Fallout game set in London, yeah seeing the DC Ruins and the Mojave Wastelands is cool, but I really want to experiance a post apocalyptic game in England, also wandering through the deserted corridors of Buckingham Palace or The House Of Commons would be pretty cool.

Point Lookout wasn't hit by nukes. I would also think that Latin america would have gotten off with fewer nukes then USA. It would be interesting to see if some powerfull drug lord would have made himself a dictator.

Point Lookout was also not hit by the bombs.

Europe? Would be weird if Europe got hit.

 

[jamradar]

Canada. Seriously why would the Chinese or the Americans nuke Canada.

[small] But its still probably fucked up from the radiation. [/small]

EDIT: Ok, ok I get it the U.S annexed Canada. I have been quoted on this over 11 times now, stop it.

 

[triggrhappy94]

Well I don't think the mythology of the game ever said anything about Europe, Africa, or the Middle East, but a large amount of nukes isn't the best for the enviroment... actually nuclear winter could balance out global warming FTW

England would be interesting but......

"Allistair Tenpenny came to the Capital Wasteland from Great Britain to seek his fortune, so that alone tells you that the U.K. was also hit in the war. And if he came to U.S. to succeed, that says a lot about how screwed up Europe must be. So we just allude, a little bit, to the state of the rest of the world. We like to leave a lot to the players' imaginations, and somebody like Tenpenny serves as a catalyst for those thoughts." - Emil Pagliarulo

apparently its pretty fucked up

The reason most of New Vegas looks like a wasteland is because Vegas is already like. Surrounded by desert and nothingness. Other Fallouts took place in major parts of the USA (California=Most of the US western shore/ D.C.=The fucking capital.), so obviously they would be the hardest hit by nuclear weapons.

 

[Lord Kloo]

Apparently England was the most powerful Commonwealth country left standing in the world (commonwealth meaning all of Europe) so its likely that somewhere like Newcastle or York + other northern towns would not have been directly hit, London would have been f***ed over..

I also hear that The Institute of Technology in Massachusetts fared pretty well..

North Korea

 

[John the Gamer]

But the fallout 3 timeline excists 200 years after the war. so radiation should have vleared by now, but in Fallout 3 every bit of wate is irradiated. pretty strange.

 

[Dana22]

The Mojave Desert, as in Fallout New Vegas, didnt got hit by as much nukes as other areas.

A large part of Fallout's flavour is based on 1950s Americana. So setting it outside of the States wouldn't really work.

Canada. Seriously why would the Chinese or the Americans nuke Canada.

Because the United States annexed Canada at the start of the war.
