Poll: Fallout:England-Would it Work?

[gaztaseven]

Fuck Manchester and London. Blackpool! If anywhere deserves to be nuked, that's the place.

 

[higgs20]

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...

you could probably set fallout Scotland in the present day, 'badum tish'

Some things would work - Blue skinned raiders from north of the border causing hadrians wall to be rebuilt sounds really good or maybe monarchists trying to rebuild to their whims.
Some things wouldn't - The whole feel would be different, I agreed with the whole idea at first but now I'm not sure how it would work in practice.

How about a bit of both - either a pipboy equipped American gets taken as a slave back to the UK or an Brit expeditionary force arrives on the US coast and is shocked to find there's anything left. The lore says that nothing else is left, but thats from an American point of view, everyone else probably thinks America is gone as well.

 

[Erecting a Sentry]

No. Nor do I want to see it

 

[Cheesepower5]

Pretty sure a Fallout set in New York would generate loads of post-9/11 rage so outside the US is pretty much the best place for Fallout to go.

Canada, England or China are the three best choices for that in my opinion.

I was having a good think the other day. I live in Manchester, England, and I was in the Trafford Centre, a huge shopping centre. I was walking through the multi-storey car park, with the pillars and gloom, and I was thinking 'God, this would make a brilliant location for a Fallout game.
I know there are still a huge amount of places in the US that they could make a Fallout game, but, disregarding any canon for now, do you think it would work?

Eh Trafford center would be OK, Manchester town center would be sweet though. Imagine The Arndale infested with ghouls and having to escape down market street and up the broke escalator to The food court only to be mauled by the deathclaws that live in what used to be Burger King..

That would be awesome! But I was thinking the Trafford Centre would be more Super Mutant territory

 

[Count Igor]

Wouldn't being set in England disrupt the Futuristic American 50s style of Fallout?

But it would add an even better stereo typical, monocle wearing, top hat jaunting, cane swinging posh bloke drinking tea!
OT: Yes. I'd love that even more than America.

 

[WhiteandNeardy99]

No, because there is no vaults in England.

I did say disregarding any canon for now. Plus, how do we know there wasn't an English branch of Vault-tec, or perhaps they had a similar type of shelter?

During the Cold War there were several shelters built which could have withstood a nuclear attack, I agree with the OP what's to say they wouldn't have had these in the parallel Fallout world as it follows our history up until it branches off.

 

[SsilverR]

i would just instantly spec full repair then over charge people to fix their boilers XD

 

[Macrobstar]

you need a huge wasteland to explore, so set it in the countryside so you can wander from village to village some inhabited some not

 

[PatrickXD]

28 days later proved that england can look really fucking cool in an apocalypse.

I think it could really work.

Ah , but 28 weeks later proved that it would have a disappointing sequel.

OT: I would love to see it, but it's not gonna happen. It would work, however, it would be a huge change in style and a lot of dedicated fanboys will cry.

 

[WorldCritic]

I don't really see why it couldn't work. Plus maybe a little more European feel would make things more interesting.

 

[ratman995]

No does England have any nuclear bombs,vaults and shitty 50s music???

I think not

Um yeah, we tested a huge amount of nukes, just as much as the americans and the goverments and other organisations built nuke shelters so people would survive and yes the music would still be awful.

I believe that it would be amazing for the fact Britain has lots of old housing, i would love to see bath destroyed

 

[ghostracoon16]

You can't just magically change the Fallout history (atleast not without a bunch of complaints).
The wiki for the game states that the vaults were a social experiment that was ONLY located in the United States.

BTW, here is my source:

[KushinLos]

If memory serves, there was at least one vault like structure in the UK during World War II, so I'd say it's a go. I've been curious on how the rest of the world fares after the bombs dropped.

 

[NorthernTrooper]

I say that the Fallout series actually moves the canon forward majorly, doesn't matter where it is.

 

[KapnKerfuffle]

No, because I would refuse to wear Armouuuuuuuuuuur. Especially if it was the wrong colouuuuuuuuuuur.

 

[CNKFan]

It might work but since England's gun laws mare far more strict as opposed to american laws, most of the combat would be the rather unpleasent melee combat. But still it might work.

I've thought that as well! I also thought it would make a god survival horror game. Or the interior of the Trafford Centre would make a good Dead Rising type game

 

[Sensenmann]

A post apocalyptic game set in the ruins of Britain? Yes

A fallout game? No

This. The world of Fallout isn't suited for England. FO is American, set in America and deals entirely on what America does. Super Mutants? Created by Americans. Scorpians? Not in Britain. Mutated Rats? Already exist. Leaves us with ghouls. Not to mention we don't have guns in our population's hands.
