Methinks a fallout-england would be big enough for both xD (And as someone who works in the Trafford Center, i would love to see it apocalypse'd)TheGhostOfSin said:

Super mutants might be a bit hard to fit in it though
im not sure, England in itself wouldnt be able to conquer the same massive wasteland idea, the quaint country towns and villages wouldnt be able to fit in with the whole post-apocalyptic setting, although it would be an interesting idea, and it could work, depending on how they did it, I would probably try it, though, being British and all.
Excuse me; not a terrible idea or anything, but how would be Fallout Edinburgh be any different to normal Edinburgh?Sun Flash said:No.
Fallout Scotland, on the other hand, more specifically Edinburgh...
But yeah, I'd like Fallout to explore another country's reaction, post war Britain was pretty cool culture-wise. Anywhere in Europe, actually...
I had thought about a Fallout in another country a while back. But then people reminded me that it wouldn't really be Fallout. The whole future people imagined in 1950s America wouldn't really work in the UK. So what would they do, ignore this American Future setting and risk it not feeling like Fallout. Or keep it similar, and ignore the fact that they are in another country?
Although deep down I think everyone wants a Fallout or GTA set in and around where they live. I'm all for Fallout:New Belfast but I think most people wouldn't want to play it.

It would work, but then it would be a city builder sim instead of a shooter, since there aren't guns and ammo all over the damn place in England.

..hmmm.
I..ahm..once went to the house from Father Ted. That's about it and it was just an old house. Maybe some DLC based around that.
To be fair we've got nothing up north either.

I don't think theres a canon about the only vaults being in the US, seeing as Bethesda were planning on making a spin-off that would deal with the remaining Chinese empire, with other indigenous tribes (such as Mongols) present, so to assume that other vaults exist (other superpower countries would have probably copied Vault-Tec initiatives) is perfectly reasonable.DaemonicShadow said:
Now i think Fallout: England would be kick-ass, as well as a nice change of scenery and culture, cause lets face it, complete 1950's american saturation does tend to get old after a while. Its a simple idea yes, but a good one.
There is plenty to do in Ireland even if it is DLC wise. Also going with Cannon Ireland seems to be relatively unaffected by Radiation after a bit of research given that say Moriarty's Father emmigrated making a England FAllout a bit more likely than my previous post. Also who is to say there wouldn't be places like Megaton popping up or special outposts built?Acidwell said:Fair enough but the lack of things to do sill standsEphraim J.

Another Manchunian, good to see.DaemonicShadow said:
For those who talk about the lack of bunkers/Vault environments, there are Cold-War era bunkers which can be utilised in the story (See: Manchester-Guardian tunnel [http://www.mancubist.co.uk/2006/07/25/guardian-exchange-manchesters-cold-war-bunkers]. Other areas could be locations like the Cathedral, Cathedral Arches shelter, Trafford Centre (as you have said), an abundance of mills in the city centre and surrounding region and the train stations(Victoria, Picadilly and Mayfield).
If not Fallout: England, I'd say Paris on the basis of the extensive catacombs located below street level and numerous landmarks of interest.
i agree. but i would want it in countries that are recognized as English speaking. maybe not English as the majority population but enough were it would keep us american gamers interested. so england, united states, um.....canada
If we're talking only the Fallout Universe, then sadly no.DaemonicShadow said:
The game is set up around the idea that it is America that takes the brutal beating. All of the games in the universe are set in the states and the lore is set up to reflect that. The Brotherhood, the Enclave, Caesars Legion, NCR, Masters Army, Vaults, Nuka Cola. All of it is set up off of the idea that the universe's interesting stories are in the US of A. If a game were made in another part of the world, they would have to make practically an entire new set of ideas, characters, factions, and icons. And as cool as that would be, I just don't think longtime fans (maybe even myself among them) would respond quite as well to having Fallout with an entirely new face. I mean look at the Fallout Games boxart. Nearly all of them feature a Brotherhood of Steel member. They are an icon of the game. Even though they are shells of their former selves, you can still find them in New Vegas, and are part of the story (unless your lazy and skipped it). They are practically essential to the Fallout world. Vaults are also a huge part of Fallout's stories and legends, but they were an American developed project. Meaning they exist nowhere else.
There's just too much that would be missing. It wouldn't really be Fallout anymore if you removed all the important pieces. Sure the idea is the same, but can you imagine a Fallout game with no Brotherhood, no Vaults, and/or no Enclave?
It's an awesome idea, but with the way the universe is set up, it just wouldn't work well enough.
EDIT: I'd also like to clarify , that i'm not talking about canon (not strictly at least.) I'm just pointing out that these are essential pieces to the Fallout World, canon or no (Vaults particularly so), and you kind of need them in order for it to be a Fallout game. As I said above, it's just not the same without them.
i think if they could recreat like all of england ingame it would be great. or atleast all of england scaled down a little.
Fallout doesnt automatically mean american. it means a game world after the world went to shit after a nuke tastic war happened. so im sure that england or surrounding europe got nuked a few times and would make a good setting for a game.
Instead of deserts you have cold rainy weather with snow falling in game if you play long enough. instead of dehydration in hardcore mode you have to change your socks to dry ones or your feet rott away

Well, as much as I thought it would be cool to have a fallout game take place in the UK, you have to remember, one of the major parts of the series is it's 50's america mixed with sci-fi look to it, I don't think it'd work well in Britain, maybe a different post-apocalypse game, but not fallout
