Fallout: New Zealand
The player character wakes up on a plank of wood drifting through the ocean, with only his pip-boy, a knife, an empty pistol, and 700 caps on his possession - an ex wasteland king, a liar, a cheat, a vicious thief who managed to con and kill his, or her, way to the very top of a pile of riches - enough to fund a secret expedition out of America to try and find any land that survived...not because of any kind of altruism, though.
Eventually he is picked up by what he, or she, thinks are primitive fishermen in a wooden boat, but when our protagonist gets to land, they find out it was merely a waka regatta.
Churrr bro, why have you got so many bottle caps? Do you collect them or something bro?
No-one noticed that there was a nuclear apocalypse.
Everything continues as normal.
They just think that the rest of the world is giving them the 'silent treatment' while Australia is playing a practical joke on them by sending them distress messages 24/7.
A masterpiece! It's like first-person Sims crossed with a boredom simulator!
10/10 IGN
I can't believe no-one had thought of this before! I can't believe Bethesda managed to make the post-apocalypse dull, boring and brightly coloured simultaneously! I dare you not to enjoy the 'Go out for some Brews, bro." side mission...
