Next Fallout: Ideas?

[sithdestroya]

well britain is gone i just popped off the map

 

[Gorilla Gunk]

Less invisible walls.

New Vegas was really bad about this.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

Imagine a half destroyed London run by a gentlemanly ghoul dictator, voiced by Gary Oldman. Need.

It must be done!

OT: As much as a Fallout: London would be awesome, it just wouldn't be "Fallouty." There would be no BoS, (probably) no deathclaws, no Enclave, no FEV supermutants, no vaults etc. The list goes on. I'd like to see one that returns to Chicago and its environs, see how the Midwestern Brotherhood is getting along.

Theres no reason why vault tec couldn't have come across the big channel 1950's London culture was heavily influence by American music and trends largely due to being allies in the war. Fev came from the vaults.

Also instead of Deathclaws....Mutant Badgers...
Do not want.

Oh crap you just made me think of South Africa in the Fallout universe... If chickens become deathclaws, what the fuck would a honeybadger become???

The end boss, that's what. *crai* Those things are nasty!

well britain is gone i just popped off the map

Sadly I think Britain is the only other place the 50's Fallout vibe would work....Nuka Cola and suchlike.

Wow,way to be a boring,patronising git.
I'm going to go for a walk to get away from this nonsense as it's giving me a headache :]

He isn't being boring or patronising.

You can't just create a Fallout game set in Europe without giving a good reason as to why there are people or civilisations there, Bethesda didn't give a good enough reason for the BoS being in Fallout 3 or the Super Mutants.

Fallout 3 already fucked up the lore and made Fallout stupid and "for teh lulz and lootz". I know I personally never want to see that again, that is why the Wild Wasteland trait was made. Also if you can't be bothered to look up the Fallout history and storyline and know why a game couldn't be set in England then you shouldn't be making comments like these, it isn't us being patronising, you're just being ignorant of Fallout lore.

I don't think you realise how little of a fuck i give.
Please go away.

Fallout: Antarctica
that would either be extremely fun or extremely dull.

 

[Andy Shandy]

Rather selfishly, I want Fallout: Dundee, if only to see my hometown nuked

On a more serious note, I'm not particularly sure what I would like to see in a new Fallout game besides less bugs, although that's not exactly an idea :/

1. FEV came from Mariposa military base, and West Tek. Theses are the ONLY places the research took place in top secret. Both places were destroyed, and the research lost forever. The FEV was contaminated to the point its useless.

2. Vault tek was expensive, and Europe thought it was better to raid the Middle East for oil than to spend on Vault Tek. Even if they didn't go to war, they would never be able to afford vaults in any sense of the word. Europe thought in the short term, America thought in the post nuclear term. In fact, America counted on it.

1. What about Vault 87 Vault Tek must have had a hand in FEV development...since Bethesda own Fallout now, that is canon.
2. There must have been Vaults or some equivalent in Britain because of Alatair Tenpenny he is 80 years old and he came over from Britain ie. After the bombs.

I'm not vehemently behind this to the point of being stressed about it, but Britain makes alot more sense than other countries since we pretty much shared the culture of the 50's with America that Fallout is based on. If you are going to make a Fallout in another country, which tbh isn't essential, then it's the only place where the nuka cola and other references wouldn't feel strange. If you see what I mean.

 

[Adremmalech]

Well, we can't to the farm belt. In 100 years without man around, anything left standing from the bombs would be taken out by tornados.

I'd like to see a snow setting, or any weather for that matter...
How about the northern states? How about Canada? If it was Annexed, it's still technically the US.

If you don't care enough to defend your points, don't bother posting. If you're going to spout crap on a soapbox, do that crap on twitter or Facebook. Not here. The Escapist demands discussion, not mindless spewing of opinions.

Fuck off you arrogant ****,how's that for an opinion?
You all keep sending me messages when i'd be more than happy to let it lie.
Go on,reply to this i dare you.

Go ahead, keep replying like that and see what happens.

Oh noooo i might get banned how awful,self righteous ****.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

That was actually a plothole.

There could be survivors in Britain, they don't require vaults. You could survive in a variety of ways.

Yes but it's a plot hole that is canon There isn't anything to say that perhaps one of the Mariposa scientists stole it and handed it over ot the likes of Braun or others. You could easily make a backstory.

There is nothing to say that there wasn't vaults in Britain 100% in canon, Europe is a large and diverse place, so I don't think it would be that jarring and anti canon myself.

 

[randomrob]

I'd like to see Europe, pet molerat maybe? Being able to dip yourself in FEV as an option or being able to start as a ghoul....

That's your response?

You would be very bad at debating.

Please give me an intelligent response and then I might go away.

 

[Blackpapa]

I think it should be called Bethesda's Fallout 3 II.

London!

When my friend and I were walking around the other week (being the keen nerds we are), we were highlighting places that could be used in a Fallout: London game. Just think about it; it would be awesome. Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, O2 Arena, Thames, London Eye etc etc.

This thread has been done many times but I have to agree with this post. In one of the previous threads, I revealed that me and a mate had done pretty much the same thing.

Aside from the well-known landmarks and using the tube tunnels to move between cells, we also opined that London-Zoo would be a good source for mutated animals and, what with the Fallout world being retro, a good scattering of nulear-powered black cabs, old London buses and traditional Policeman's uniforms all over.

Possible gangs / factions could be:

The Bobbies ("bobbies" being twee-slang for "Policemen") - a group deidicated to bringing law and civilisation back to London.

The Pearlies - Based on Pearly Kings and Queens, these cockney-accented folk would play a similar role to The Kings from New Vegas.

Hooligans - The raiders of London. Inspired by old newspaper clippings, these lawless thugs belived that old-world football hooligans were actually a mighty warrior-tribe and seek to emulate them. Idea based on the "Ice-Gangs" mentioned in Fallout 3.

As for vault locations, well it would be a no-brainer to suggest that Buckingham Palace, Westminster and 10 Downing Street would all have shelters although I doubt Vaults would be found as Vault-Tec seems to be an American-based company only. Tube tunnels could have been used (like in WW2) and other shelters must exist. The real-life London is riddled with underground chambers, tunnels and so on.

If anyone knows of a LiveJournal community (or similar) where this is discussed at length, please point me in it's direction!

Use obsidians writing and game design team. Only bring the coders on board if they are SURE they are up to it, not just have a hunch about being so.

 

[Jfswift]

I'd really like to see the rest of the world. What happened to Europe, China.. etc. Also, as brought up before, it'd be nice to see some vehicles for a change.

I was just thinking too, Turkey supposed has a large/vast underground network of tunnels.

 

[sithdestroya]
