You pretty much nailed my thoughts exactly. I wouldn't mind a nuclear winter in Canada that much if it didn't really mess with the story of Fallout in general. We had a DLC that took place in Alaska and that was a huge dissapointment in my eyes.Internet Kraken said:
I don't know, maybe the appeal of a desert wasteland is greater then a frozen one. Especially when the desert wasteland has Deathclaws.
Centre Island would be such a cool place for a fallout game. (You could even do something with that little Red Train they have and that Mine Cart Ghost Ride thing)Randomanom said:
And yes anyone foolish enough to swim in lake Ontario PERIOD is going to loose some skin. (How about lake Ontario's water turns anyone who drinks or touches it into gouls?)
Doesn't it get ridiculously cold there too? I've been to neither.
They both are much colder than Australia anyway.

Were you being serious? It just pisses me off when American think the whole damn country is snow. That why at the border in the Summer you people with skies on there car. Um... you would have to travel about 1000 miles North to even start seeing hail at that time of year.The Bandit said:
Edit: I live in an area with enough green you would think you were in Pensylvenia. I'm only 30 minutes from the biggest city in our country Toronto.
OT:
As to the original post, while it would be interesting I think it's ultimately futile to debate, it won't happen. You need a location that has iconic representation and diverse elements to make for an intersting setting. While lots of Canadian locations have this, they're only apparent to Canadians. America is the target demographic for the games (and Europe to a lesser extent). Ask the average American for info about or the location of say Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, Quebec City, or Halifax and you're likely to be met with a blank stare. Our cities/locales are much smaller and thus do not have the ubiquitous prominence of the cities and locations of our southern counterparts. This isn't a commentary on intelligence or education, etc.,it's just the way it is. Another problem would be that in the Fallout timeline Canadian locations would be very different. All the cities would be way smaller especially Vancover and Ottawa. Toronto wouldn't have the landmarks. So we're left with what? Fallout: Quebec City? I don't think it will fly. Halifax might be neat with it's port and all, but if you were going that route, Hampton Roads would be way cooler and more recognisable and therein lies the rub.
I think the best us Canucks can ever hope for might be an expansion pack. Imagination and creativity could fill in the blanks for missing source material and let's face it, it would probably be Toronto. Here's my pitch: They've changed the name back to York and set up some kind of confused restoration of a monarchy. Maybe? Meh.
You'll find people might take you more seriously if you spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly.wootsman said:

If we can have mutant moose and Canadian geese, I'd play it.
I'm also keen on the idea of Fallout Mexico City. I'd like to wander through one of those Aztec pyramids in the wasteland.

Only the super mutants are products of the FEV chambers. The other creatures are just radioactive. IF so, then why are there mutants and super mutants in Nevada? And are you really incapable of coming up with at least 3 solutions to that problem? honestly now.Ultratwinkie said:
I'm sorry but isn't part of the fallout theme the destruction of iconic locations(such as vegas,DC,etc.)If anything fallout london should be before fallout canada.
