Fallout 3 world

Reading all these comments makes me want to go play it again.

Didn't it say somewhere that all of the world got wiped out? I think it was near the beginning.

Basically, America + China = Boom.
Boom + World = the boring, repetitive map of Fallout 3, a great big pool of radiation, dead people and more radiation.
Although it is still a good game.

Yeah, the whole world is utterly shredded, not just America. The sea is radioactive too, which proves it some more.

I would assume the Indonesian Islands and parts of Africa were largely untouched, but definately affected by radiation

Hell, a Borneo Fallout would be awesome. Mutant orangutans chasing you through the forest, scary!

Your dad freakin rules

Yes, he most certainly does.

On topic though, the argument of whether or not FO3 is canon is a ridiculous exercise in futility. When it comes right down to it, it's a lot like discounting the entirety of Star Trek: TNG because of Will Wheaton or Star Wars because of midichlorians. When a person is unwilling to take the bad with the good, while at the same being completely willing to ignore the absolutely ridiculous aspects of the "canonical" games, they are generally miserable and selfish people behaving like spoiled children not getting exactly what they wanted. FO3 was by no means as historic as FO1 or FO2, or even as GOOD as those games, but to write it off completely is selfish, childish, and really says a lot about them as a person.

If people can't handle disappointment and fumbled expectations in a fictional world, I have to wonder how they handle them in the real one?

To quote Feargus Urquhart from an IRC Q&A session:

"If you want to have say in what's Fallout and what's not Fallout, buy the IP."

I say since Australia (though no doubt a great nation) doesn't really get that involved in giant wars............well look at this I like to think that Canada would be drastically different due to the different climate and wildlife.............and all that fresh water would provoke someone to purify it...........I mean if project Purity was the first time I'd be kinda disappointed.

Doesn't get involved in great wars?! WE DONATED 50 000 TROOPS TO THE US DURING WWII! Not to mention the Anzacs!

I realize Australia played a good part in World War II, but that war was 65 years ago, not to say that Australia's part in it doesn't matter anymore, and of course we shouldn't forget about it at all but I think it is time that we say it is the past.
I wont say anything against the Australian military as I don't know anything about it but my point was that RIGHT NOW Australia wouldn't be the biggest target for a nuclear bomb.

Well, China did not invade after it and no other nation came to aid the people effected by WWIII so It's safe to assume all nations were wiped out.

The people of the other nations might assume that and think that they're the only humans alive, when in actuality that there are MANY more humans still living than they think.

Just my little thought. And I've only read the first page of this forum so if someone already suggested that then I apologize.

Hey, Vegas and the Pitt had no new nukes dropped on it. There is no reason to believe that there aren't full nations that have escaped the apocalypse as well (though they would probably screwed a la the Pitt and Chernobyl due to water and air currents).

I disagree not the entire world....
