Where do you want the next Fallout to be set?

[Lovely Mixture]

I don't know about where it should be set, but I at least want it to address the existence of other countries and nations after the war.

The last games have dealt with internal conflicts, I would like some international politics in the mix.

 

[loc978]

Ideally, I'd like the game world to stretch from the NCR to the Rocky Mountains, from Baha to British Colombia and New Mexico to Alberta.

Just the Rockies, Colorado and Wyoming, maybe bits of New Mexico and Montana would be fine, though.

The northwest would also work, what with the northern border of the NCR being pretty much radioactive mountainous terrain (without being as high up and frozen as the Rockies, that is... so forests). Lots of tribals up there, I'd bet. Who am I kiddin', I just wanna see what they'd do with where I live.

Or we could just be forced to roll a ghoul and explore the "radioactive dustbowl" just east of the Rockies. Imagine the tornadoes...

Fallout: Australia

And you thought Deathclaws and Cazadors were bad...

You mean to say that they are not there already?

OT: I think that either Fallout: Brazil or Fallout: (Enter African courtry name hear).

I say Brazil because you spend most of the game faffing about in the Amazon rainforest. Imagine fighting feral monkey ghouls that are running around in the trees, or facing entire schools of Radpiranhas, yeah.

Or the African country Fallout because, well, there is a shit ton of things that will kill you already in Africa, now mutate them. Plus it wouldn't be much of a stretch to turn most african countries into ruins(ha ha, dark socio-political joke).

London. I just think that it would work so well. Additionally, British 50s culture is different enough to American that it would feel different. Plus, Big Ben, the Underground, Thames, London Bridge, you could even have the Eye, etc etc. I think it would be great.

 

[Ix Rebound]

Australia in the Northern Territory
just imagine Uluru opening up like a missile silo to reveal a secret Enclave doomsday weapon!

Madam Tussauds could also make for quite an interesting level. Terrifying too, if done right!

I've always thought (and by always I mean since I heard about the franchise a few years ago with Fallout 3) that a Fallout set in whatever's left of another country might be cool. The main obstacle would obviously be the difference in environment and theme, although they could just say everyone had a sci fi 1950s USA look. But vast desert wastelands don't really fit with France or wherever. China might be interesting to see what the effect of the war was there. Alternatively Mexico for still fitting with the theme or Canada to explore the whole US invasion background plot.

London would be pretty interesting, it has lots of landmarks and stuff.

Feral Chav Ghouls... huehue...

I've considered that as well, but I can't see England or the UK fitting with the whole sci fi western thing that characterises Fallout. There'd be no epic deserts or frontier towns, just gentle brown hills and lots of drizzle. Feral Chav Ghouls would probably be an improvement on normal chavs though.

Try Fallout: Glasgow. Running for your life through back alleys, struggling to grap a weapon, any weapon. You quickly turn around to see a gang of hooded, zombie like figures reaching towards you...
Ah, Saturday night in Glasgow. Of course, it'll change once the bombs drop.

But really, you want to keep it in America.

 

[girzwald]

Canada. Free medical supplies!

Its too bad there would only be 5 stimpaks in the entire country and you have to wait 5 months for a vendor to spawn another one. But least they are free!

And back on topic. Id love to see something like Africa. Not as some sort of awareness or anything like that. I just think that would be a totally unexpected and interesting place to see post nuclear war.

 

[CommanderL]

Fallout australia to be honest though it wont look much diffrent from now

 

[Slayer_2]

New York, although I think DC should be the setting for Fallout 4. Screw the Mojave!

 

[scarecrow350]

I was thinking perhaps somewhere like Brazil, that would most likely still have rain forest as it wouldn't have been hit by many nukes, so you could have mutated piranha and corrupt warlords etc.
the same thing could also be applied to the carribean or the mediteranean, it would be cool to see a fallout game with a lot more aquatic/island hopping elements, also sea monsters would be epic to fight
only problem is you may lose some of the whole 1950's nostalgia vibe that characterizes the series so well
i just feel treking through a radioactive jungle, or sailing over a radiated sea could add a whole new lease of life to the series

 

[HardEight]

Fallout: Big Easy....

Zombies, Black Magic, drugs and drinking.

Flooding, weather hazards.

Sweet.

 

[bigfatcarp93]

It's tough to find a place in America that isn't too similar to F3, F:NV, or one of the F3 DLCs.

Passing by America, I think Australia would be really cool. Mutant Kangaroos and Crocodiles... and so many of those awesome accents.

 

[ChaplainOrion]

Fallout: Australia

And you thought Deathclaws and Cazadors were bad...

Australia wouldn't work because you don't have mad scientists creating insane robots, mutants, and animals. You'd only have deadly non-mutated animals, and that's not fun, just scary.

It has to be set in America because Super Mutants only exist in the U.S., other places didn't have insane ultra-capitalistic-let's-not-tell-people-that-these-robots-are-programmed-to-kill-them ideas, and I'm pretty sure only the U.S. and China experienced the atomic war and Europe and the Middle East absolutely annihilated each other when they just went all out fighting over resources.

Besides what would be fun about China? Communist cities are the same thing over and over again.

 

[Leemaster777]

Somewhere sunny. Like Florida. Beaches with mutant sharks lunging from the water to attack you. Or head to the Everglades where the Florida Panther has come back in full swing, too bad they are even more savage now that the radiation has altered them to be savage beasts bent on eating you. Need to scavenge? Why not head into Miami, most of the city was destroyed but I'm sure there are plenty of things to find.

Possible DLC Zone (or normal zone) Disney World! lol

Fuck, I was gonna say that.

Yeah, scavenging through the ruins of theme parks is a good idea.

Plus, three words: Giant Mutant Alligators. Fuck yeah.

That would be incredible!

 

[XMark]

Equestria! Anyone who has read all the way through Fallout: Equestria will agree with me

 

[Tuesday Night Fever]

Australia wouldn't work because you don't have mad scientists creating insane robots, mutants, and animals. You'd only have deadly non-mutated animals, and that's not fun, just scary.

By Fallout logic, mutated animals would still exist, seeing as how the game seems to operate with a 1950's understanding of radiation. The mutated animals from the previous games (like Cazadors and Radscorpions, for example) weren't created by scientists... just background radiation mutating otherwise fairly benign animals.

And given Australia's relations with the United States and proximity to China, it's not too much of a stretch to imagine that it helped out as a staging area in the war with China. So... there's your robots and scientists and military stuff.

It could really fuck with your head

If it was really dark and your pip boy light could only see a little bit ahead, you'd be seeing shapes and not being able to distinguish whether or not they are waxworks or enemies

It would be a nice break from the action of the game

 

[Dead Seerius]

Great question! I've always wanted to see a Mid-West (United States) Fallout. They've gone East-coast, Western Rockies, and quite a few other areas in DLC (hell, even space!) The hills of the Mid-Western region would play in nicely if you ask me. I know trees don't cope well with nuclear bombs, but a somewhat forested setting could be pretty cool, at least in a certain part of the map.
