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:so long as there were monty python and black adder references, I don't see why a Fallout set in the UK wouldn't work
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:I think so if it drew from English history and popular culture like Fallout did for America. Also, add in the humor of a game like Killing Floor and I can definitely see it working!
Right, after the "Battle of the Bogside" in 1969, the Irish Parliament contemplated invading the North to protect the Catholic Population.FalloutJack said:Yes, I believe it would work. We have no idea what the state of the rest of the world is in that universe.

Actually, J.E. Saywer said he would like to see a game set in the UK.linwolf said:Fallout, no the game is built around the American setting. Changing that to England would stop making it Fallout, but you could probably make a good post apocalyptic game set in England.
Doesn't mean they can't do it again. :3Ninjamedic said:Which Fallout does already.samaugsch said:Or Monty Python.Aylaine said:I think so if it drew from English history and popular culture like Fallout did for America.

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:A post apocalyptic game set in the ruins of Britain? Yes
A fallout game? No
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:No, because there is no vaults in England.
