Did anywhere NOT get nuked in Fallout?

[Th37thTrump3t]

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

Exactly. Because why nuke a desert...

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.

It's a game based on retro tech, I don't think they are terribly worried about realism and accuracy. I mean we have lost in space style high tech robots running around, laser weapons and the like, but all computers are simple text interfaces.

What about an island like Puerto Rico? It probably wouldn't have gotten hit.

Puerto Rico is a territory of the US with commonwealth status, why wouldn't it be hit?

II 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.

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.

I reckon it could work, for example you could set the game in the whole 60's era 'Give Peace A Chance' phase. America was stuck in the 1950's way of living, why couldnt England do something similar but give it a slight spin to keep ideas fresh.

No, it wouldn't. Half the point of the Fallout series is satirizing the facade of wholesomeness that America had in the 50s that disguised a festering underbelly of fear and the inevitability of doom due to the incompetent, uncompromising nature of the world's super powers. Fallout is as much a criticism of global politics as it is a game, in my opinion.

It's less a matter of where didn't get nuked, and more a matter of where wasn't affected by the fallout.

I want to see Fallout: Operation Rebirth, what is it you may ask? Well humanity has been in the crapper for a while, I want to see SOMEONE actually try to rebuild society (probably in Brazil), not a guerrilla style organization like everyone else. I don't expect a happy, sunshine, and farts ending, but SOMEONE actually creating a half decent town that doesn't have some giant jackass pulling the strings. And you know what, that person could be you, in fact that should be what the next fallout is about, building and defending your own town and ruling over it as you please.

Probably true , but it's funnier to argue about this.

 

[Jon Shannow]

If they made a fallout in the London i'd just spend the entire time trying to find my cousin's house. If they made one in Glasgow though i could just pretend that the ghouls are chavs and the buildings are dirtier and then it would be like real life.

Corruption is an inevitable part of human society.

Also hypocrisy goes hand in hand with power - something proven by a Kellogg study published this year.

And in crisis most do harm rather than good.

We are doomed ...

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

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

lulsters, canada is annexed by the us in the fallout history. (tho by now probably somebody else pointed it out)

OT: I would say Africa, since there couldn't be that many American bases, unlike in Europe, where hell, even if there's a CONSULATE, it'd be a target.

maybe some parts of japan or those asian islands too.

IRONICALLY, i doubt the middle east woulda been bombed in the beginning, since only a couple of "threat assessment" bases would be in the area. That is not to say that pakistan or egypt and israel didn't go batshit crazy since the big powers weren't there to restrain them, so... maybe not initially, but eventually nuked. xD

Actually, I'm pretty sure Canada got annexed by America before the war for resources, so it probably got nuked too.
EDIT: Ninja'd!

 

[Setsuri21]

Europe? Would be weird if Europe got hit.

Not if America and china had miltary bases there

Do you know the halflife of plutonium? I mean neither do I but you should check that out if you want to make cliams like that.

according to wikipedia, depending on the isotope of plutonium it ranges from 84 years (238pu) to 8,080,000 years (244pu).

If it's the 84 year halflife isotope, most of the radiation present in fallout would dissipate in about 200 years. *shrug*

Yes, but does radiation turn people into Ghouls? No, therefore we must conclude that these weren't traditional nukes that was used, but rather the more magical pixie-dust.
And as you may know, these bombs radiation wont disperse until its convenient to do so.

Indeed, one thing you must always remember about fallout is that it runs on the (and correct me if I get this wrong) science fiction 50's idea of SCIENCE! not actual science.

That's key to the diverging timelines (ours and theirs) we focused on advancing computer science and the microchip, they focused on the advancement of nuclear technology.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

I'm guessing none of it.

So, you want, in basic, a city builder strategy game, set in fallout? Yeah, I'd buy that. Just have to make sure you did it right. Might I suggest a scale similar to Children of The Nile?

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

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

Um... because the US had annexed Canada before the bombs were launched?

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Canada

Canada did that because if war against Russ means bombs flying over Canada's head.
But it depend on how China launch their bombs, If it doesn't go through Canada, I think Canada would rather stay out.

 

[Picosaurus]

Well I'm sure the people of the Solomon Islands are still chilling out at the beach enjoying themselves while the character trudges the DC and Vegas ruins!

 

[irani_che]

28 days later wasnt enough for you, have you seen doomsday
however there are parts up north that already look like a wasteland

 

[martin's a madman]

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

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

Because Canada never really existed, it was annexed by the US, and so, was a territory of the United States.

Antarctica.

[razing32]

Are there any tools for Fallout like the Elder Scrolls Construction set was to Oblivion ?

Would a game were you rebuild society in a Fallout setting give you the chance to be evil ? Like i dunno , say Black & White ?
