28 days later proved that england can look really fucking cool in an apocalypse.
I think it could really work.

Cultural references/jokes always helps the setting. Besides, they threw one in Vegas because it's a huge town with bright lights, and they also had an expansion in the back woods of Maryland (I forgot... it's been a few months since I played, so don't PM me). So I can't see why there shouldn't be a Fallout for England, Russia, China, Japan, India, Israel, and AustraliaChristopher N said:
well the fallout series is based on the future that was predicted post-WWII and I'm not 100% sure how England's future was looking at the time, especially after the nazi bombing runs. If anything if you still do the retro future set in England, it may be an even bigger wasteland that any other game.
It would work but would involve a huge amount of work by the developers to create a back story for England, what happened why did it get nuked whose side it was on.
Yes, I believe it would work. We have no idea what the state of the rest of the world is in that universe. Even if they didn't have Vaults, which is not a foregone conclusion, there are still shelters and stuff. After all, people DID survive in Fallout without being in Vaults. I'd enjoy seeing it.
It would be heavily based on the Northern Ireland "Troubles", as that was the main political issue the Brits would have in the fallout pre-war canon.Aylaine said:
Right, after the "Battle of the Bogside" in 1969, the Irish Parliament contemplated invading the North to protect the Catholic Population.FalloutJack said:
If they did, Ireland would have been crushed and Isolated by the EU (or EC in fallout) forcing them to join Russia (or China). Logically, the IRA would have flared up after the Great War to Reclaim the North.
After that, You decide.

These. And if you're describing your surroundings as already being gloomy, it probably won't be that big of a deal to re-imagine it as dystopian. It's not like anyone is clamoring for a Fallout: Cleveland or anything.Random Name 4 said:
It would really depend. I don't think the Fallout canon has anything to do with the UK, though I imagine they would be the US's allies in the war. So maybe there would be a little nuclear action going on.
Also, this. There would be no vaults in the UK. I'm not saying that it would be impossible to make one simply because there are no vaults, since people managed to stay alive outside of vaults anyway, but no vaults means no Pip-Boys. The Pip-Boy is a device that, not in-game mind you, bridges the noticeable gap between game and character. It gives you a tangible device that gives you information, so that you aren't just looking at in-game menus. I feel like no Pip-Boys would take away the subtle charm that it provides, which would actually do more damage than it may seem. The developers may have to think of a clever work-around, without ruining the canon.ghostracoon16 said:
