Fallout: *Insert City Here*

[GreyFox389]

Minneapolis.

Would be cool actually. Big open space where a lot of small buildings could be blown apart, and then the downtown area with huge skyscrapers.

I don't know if this a good idea or flop or whatever, but it happens in every Fallout thread so I thought it might be worth a shot.

So tell us about where you're from. Would it make a good Fallout location? Does it already look and feel like a good Fallout location or would it literally need a nuclear war to get it that nasty? Or if you like, tell us about a place you don't like (such as Manchester) and how it's already a destroyed city filled with mutants and guns.

Avoiding my usual attack on Manchester and Hull, I spend most of my time in the lovely Yorkshire city of Leeds. It doesn't have any of the major landmarks, but there's still plenty of places to sit up top with a gauss rifle and fire at students (or deathclaws, whatever). One of the buildings looks like it came out of the wasteland. Who designs a building to look like rust anyway?

Well born in Manchester, and study in Hull so i will just leave the thread alone

Fallout: Ottawa PSHHH we would just get SUPER MUTANT HARPER!

I fail to see the difference between that and regular Harper.

 

[ABLb0y]

Fallout: Shibuya anyone?

Fallout: Concord (NH) would be the most BORING GAME EVER. On the other hand, I'd have to say Fallout: New New York (from Futurama) would be kind of cool. I'd love to explore the sewers a bit as well as the ruins of Old New York. And I'm sure the devs could come up with a way to blame it all on Zoidberg.

ak93]Fallout Sydney would be sweet. Or Fallout Toronto... basically anywhere other then the States (it's been done, let's move on to a new country)

No offense but it really wouldn't be Fallout if it were were anywhere but the U.S. or China. As everything that Fallout is revolves around these two countries.

A post apocalyptic game set in Sydney or Toronto would be cool, but it wouldn't be Fallout if you get what I'm saying.

Game is more important than an extremely sturdy story and they could still do it somehow. But 4 games of the US and nowhere else gets a bit stagnant. Needs some variety.

It's not so much about the story but about the character of the games themselves. Fallout as a game was modeled after what Americans in the 50's expected the future to look like. All the nuclear powered cares, Mr. Handy's, laser guns and what not were all created to fit that style. A Fallout game set in Tokyo,Sydney or what have could certainly be and excellent game but it wouldn't really be a Fallout game. It would just be another post-apocalyptic (inset genre here). However, I do agree, variety is good. But their is still plenty of variety left in the states.

Fallout: Johannesburg.

Damn, that city is scary enough even before the nuclear holocaust...

Those damned prawns make it even worse.

Rather than the usual trick of making voice acting better with well written dialogue and good voice actors, Bethesda could just go with the option of have every line spoken by Sharlto Copley. And it'd be fucken awesome!

 

[Draitheryn]

Basically anyplace not the U.S, new vegas was a great place because vegas is an interesting city, as is washington. It is time, however, we seen what is happening outside the U.S. London would be good, so would Paris, Rome, Cairo, Dubai, the list goes on, it would be interesting to me to include some of the wonders of the world in the surrounding areas.

 

[TheLiham]

Fallout: Glasgow - There's no Mutants or Ghouls, they survived the radiation but didn't have the strength for the mars bars

haha, instead of the nuka-lurks from fallout 3 youd have bright orange irn-lurks!

That is the best idea I've ever heard!

OT: Fallout London is most likely but Paris would be more interesting

 

[aescuder]

Fallout Cleveland, hardly any difference from actual Cleveland.lol

 

[Laurie Barnes]

Fallout: Johannesburg.

Damn, that city is scary enough even before the nuclear holocaust...

Yes! This! And the bestiary would be immense due to a wide range of plentiful wildlife that could now be mutated. Plus it would be interesting to see the whole return to roots tribalism of the locals.

Yeah, but people in other country too had visions of the future. So why not creating a 50's like vision(probably also influenced by Americas technology) of other major cities around the world? Cities where objects and equipment that is/were more common in the previous game are much rarer (imported only in small number before by smugglers or spies, crashed transporter etc.). Hell, even the Enclave would be possible (Survivors that moved to X to regroup, after being defeated in Washington, D.C.).

A whole game based on another city might be too much to ask for, but as DLC it would be more than possible.

fallout: cwmbran a wasteland before the nukes fell, a improvement after.

 

[kinggamecat]

Toronto

Roswell

Cancun

Jamaica

Australia

London

Ireland

(I know not all of my posts are cities but they're areas I think would be good settings for fallout games)

Montreal

Cuba

Hawaii

Florida (You can go to Disney land and loot a body for a mascot costume and Disney land could be turned into a fortress)

Florence, Itally

Rio, Brazil

Chicago

Europe and the Middle East destroyed each other in their resource war, then Europe destroyed themselves in when the European Commonwealth colapsed. And all of that before the great war. The US and mabye China and the USSR were the only countries that would have been capable of building the vaults, and China had suffered from the US Power Armored soldier invasions along with the majority of the US's nukes. Most European countries with the Resource Wars and their in fighting and then the Great War most likely have nothing left. Africa and South America might have survived the Great War though

Rio might actually be fully intact, and chances are there is nothing left of European cities. I do however love your idea for Florida, now I want a Disneyworld fortress....I shall name it....steve. Althought would Disney still have been built in this time line?

Fallout: Rhode Island

Interestingly enough, albeit being rendered debatabley non-cannon with the release of Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 3 mentioned that Rhode Island and the northeastern US hosted 'The Commonwealth'. The Common wealth was apparently a society that retained or rediscovered most of the pre-war technologies and developed their own, even being able to create androids and cyborgs.

So yes, I'd say a fallout game based in RI would be pretty interesting. Of course, Obsidian would probably tweak the name to "Fallout: Road Island" to be faithful to their trend of intentionally misspelling or abbreviating know geographic locations to drive the whole 'post-apocalypse' theme further.

I'm curious where do they misspell names of locations? Oh and The Commonwealth came from MIT
