3 things from an american point of viewn 1. the sales for a game that takes place in canada would plummet in the U.S. 2. canada kinda sucks compared to america (not prejudiced just sort of true) 3. in the fallout time line canada wouldnt be iraddiated so there wouldnt really be any point to the game it would just be the future and that dosent have much of a conflict
Fallout Canada???

Actually, I'd much rather play a gunman in the ranks of the Chinese during the war. It would be much more interesting... Boot camp, long flight, Operation Anchorage from the other team... Rewriting the story of Fallout. Or keeping it the same except a chinese soldier that stays alive.
As a happy, patriotic Canadian with nothing but love for my country and a deep understanding of the differing cultures and subtle differences in everyday life from city to city, I say this is a rather terrible idea. There's a lot to be seen post-apocalyptic in Canada, sure, but there's more in places like the UK, Japan, Africa... just about anywhere.
In order to have enough of a difference in tone, characters and setting, it couldn't take place during the 1950s... Canada was in a place then that couldn't be well-shown or exaggerated the way it would need to, to make a full-scale Fallout game. It would have to take place earlier. I'd like to see more games take place in Canada (or anywhere other than Africa, the middle east and the U.S.), but Fallout isn't one of them.

This is an amazing point. I'd like to see this now.... maybe...
ERg. I just thought of a flaw in this, The timeline for fallout splits after the second World War, around 1955 or so. The SkyDome was built in 1989.....
I read somewhere, possibly in The Vault wiki. That after some mathematical scientific figurings that it would probably be MITMacar said:
Which i would definitely say makes sense, considering it's supposed to be the place filled with genius scientists who make androids and all that other things. Just think about it. Makes sense
I'm Canadian, and I don't think this would be a good idea. Canada never got swept into the McCarthyist madness of the 1950's USA, at least not to the same extent. The mood of Fallout 3 wouldn't work outside of the United States. However, DLC featuring a foray into Ronto would be cool.
I wonder if a Fallout game set in Moscow or Beijing would work, telling the other side of the story as it were. See the wide spread of those mysterious biological weapons the US sent to China.

i feel the need to point out that canada was annexed by the paranoid US gov and was in the middle of a period of what i will call forcible pacification.Randomanom said:
that said, i think that it would be a great place to set a story, to kind of put a feeler out there for fallouts in other countries. rome would be a good place, and mabye see what the chinese were left with.
You guys must have a strange pollution problem because that snow is all sand coloured.AC10 said:I find it God damn hilarious people here think that Toronto is a snowy wonderland.
Holy crap it's SOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLDDDDDDDD
To American's it is. To Canadians, not so much. (And by not so much, I mean not at all.)Baneat said:
But to be honest one wasteland is exactly like another. Its all going to be brown landscapes with gray skies. So whether its brown landscapes with gray skies with the CN tower in the background, or its brown landscapes with gray skies and the Whitehouse in the background, I don't give a shit.
Then just paint everyone in Porirua (been a few years since I visited NZ so 'scuse the spelling) green and shoot them.chozo_hybrid said:
I reckon they should do a Fallout: Hong Kong .... none of this invisible wall bullshit where you can't move on ... just have the bloody Island of Hong Kong ... and lots of irradiated sea water around.
And instead of spending most of your time walking on the ground, you should beable to aspire to beable to buy a place on the top floor of some still (barely) standing tower (not that ridiculous Tenpenny Tower) ...
Have towns occupying entire towers ... rather than huddling on the ground, the town's inhabitants inhabit still standing mega buildings where it's easily defendable against the mutagenic creatures roaming the city.
The Urban warfare of Fallout 3 was better than all tyhat brown waste oln 90% of the map .... so why not JUST have a map FULL of urban warfare?
Not only that but I think it would be interesting to play a Fallout game based in another country OUTSIDE the West ... a Nation belonging to the ENEMY of the US during the apocalyptic battle that turned the world into a irradiated hellhole. So instead of pictures of Uncle Sam, you have posters of Red China ... a sub story about how Hong Kong was 'liberated' by China back just before the invasion of Alaska.
No 'Brotherhood of Steel' ... or perhaps maybe a Brotherhood of Steel chapter that invades Hong Kong on an old Carrier vessel, set on tearing the place up for old world tech.
It would breathe new life and new personality into the series that is SO US focussed despite the creators (obsidian and Bethesda) pretend to state that the reason why the world is so shit is because China and the US both made mistakes in pissing eachother off.
Either 'put up or shut up' I say, show us a picture of the Fallout world from the OTHER side of the fence, unless you want to be mistaken for another US gungho-everybody-hates-us-therefore-must-shove-apple-pie-down-everybody's-throat offering.
