Couldn't Europe have its own version of Vault Tec since there was that whole nuclear exchange with the Middle-East.The_Lost_King said:

Vault tech was actually made for as a social experiment not to shield us from nukes so I doubt that europe replicated it.mammothbroncho said:
He left, why would he leave if it had a lot of people, come to think of it, how the hell did he get from Britain to the US post-nuclear war. Are you sure he didn't come from britain and live in the US during the war? Also it suggest some people survived, or maybe only Tenpenny survived.TizzytheTormentor said:
Fallout: Australia. Mutant kangaroos for fast travel, exploding boomerangs, Cyborg Yahtzee for companion etc.
No. Fallout treasure hunts make you go through goofy places like soda factory or a museum, places that are not the usual spots but for some reason have become big things after the apocalypse. Fort Knox is just too predictable and usual.
The world biggest boot. Just alone the side of a the road as you're walking, you see a big boot, with a maybe a snake living in it or something. That'd be odd but interesting.

Oh yeah forgot the whole 200 years thing, in fallout 3 it only feels like it has been 4 years after the war. I just find it hard to believe he was able to find a boat that can cross the atlantic.TizzytheTormentor said:
In my head Fallout, Mad Max and Metro somehow combines into one universeMrDelicious said:
(I know years don't match, but the content could fit each other)
So I can't see Australia as Fallout set
Also isn't Yahtzee already a cyborg? I clearly remember from his review on <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/4137-Deus-Ex-Human-Revolution>Deus Ex: Human Revolution that he is in process of integrating his phone into his head (and vacuum cleaner too apparently)
Anyway, Canada is only country, besides USA, that would make sense and aesthetically feel like Fallout game, because at the moment of the Great War Canada WAS USA.
Sounds like a good idea to me, the more random dungeons you can find around on your travels to fight through the better.
I think having a theme park/carnival converted into a bandit fortress would be a really cool place to tackle. Snipers in the ferris wheel, intense close combat in a maze of mirrors, the bandit leader could sit in the haunted house.

I would like to see one set in St. Louis, It would be interesting to see how one of the western gateway cities functions after the nuclear war, and even though the theme for fallout is this sort of, futuristic 50's theme, I would like to see what happened to the gateway arch, a building that I was very fond of when I lived there.
I have to say, the idea that there were no nuclear bunkers in an area that had suffered a limited nuclear attack 20 years previously absolutely beggars belief. We have plenty now for goodness sake (yeah different timeline, I know). Even without that there are plenty of other ways you make up something believable.mammothbroncho said:
Maybe they didn't and everyone eventually (except by some miracle Alistair Tenpenny) died, but either way it's just fan speculation, until the people who run the franchise say otherwise. So either is just as valid, you can't say either is wrong.
Lead designer says so too:TizzytheTormentor said:
?Allistair Tenpenny came to the Capital Wasteland from Great Britain to seek his fortune, so that alone tells you that the U.K. was also hit in the war. And if he came to U.S. to succeed, that says a lot about how screwed up Europe must be. So we just allude, a little bit, to the state of the rest of the world. We like to leave a lot to the players' imaginations, and somebody like Tenpenny serves as a catalyst for those thoughts." - Emil Pagliarulo.
Essentially they aren't saying anything definite about the rest of the world, it's left to our imagination.
Maybe only the government and the rich had the resources to build themselves bunkers and so when they got out they totally dominated all the poor scraggly semi irradiated survivors that had spent the last 50 years or so scraping algae off rocks down a mineshaft. Now all the peasants spend their lives scrabbling around in the dirt and the mines to feed their feudal lords ambitions. Kind of the equivalent of Caesar winning in NV. Tenpenny and a few other thought this was bullshit, nicked a boat and some supplies and left for elsewhere. People have been crossing the Atlantic in shitty little wooden boats for at least 500 years, probably much longer, so it seems pretty reasonable to me.
It carries overtones of Britain being a backwards monarchy (that needs to be saved by a lone freedom loving American) and the Pilgrims leaving on the Mayflower so I'm sure the yanks would accept it...I'll put away the claws now
Sure it's fanfiction, but then so is "everyone's dead".
OT: I'll finally answer the second part of the question... um... none I can think of, despite rabidly defending the idea that Fallout could be set outside the US I'm not really able to think of any worldwide landmarks that would interest me. New York and the Statue of Liberty would be great.
Maybe Stonehenge, it's got a fuckton of military bases around it (including Porton Down so that's a good excuse for some weird biochemical mutating shit), but other than that it's largely rural so there's fuckall else to bomb. It would fit nicely into a post apocalypse tribal society theme and give a convenient reason for the existence of guns and ammo.
