Could it work? Yes, and it would probably be pretty cool. However, if we're going outside of America, why not China? I mean not only did they get it worse than anyone else, but that is a territory where we almost never see games.

Maybe Britain could have sunken a little, it would create some pretty cool environments. Imagine for example London with half the city underwater, but with a lot of the taller structures still standing. There could be small settlements or docks at the top of old apartment complexes!Mike Laserbeam said:
Also, longer into the city, you might have to wade through about ten cm of water. A lot of London (or whatever town it's set in) could still be dry, though.
You could use a rowboat or something to get around in the city where the water is deep enough; think of it as a kind of mount, like the horses in Oblivion.
Wouldn't that be cool?
Hell yeah! In fact, you could easily get most of Scotland into the game, it's not too big. There's nothing I'd love more than rampaging about my hometown (Glasgow) punching the heads off Deathclaws left and right. Or not considering the radiation probably wouldn't have effected our critters in the same way.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...
Anyone else fancy battling a ten foot pine martin? Or wildcat?
I think it'd be really interesting to branch out and see just how the war has effected the rest of the world. And for all the people who say we wouldn't survive without vaults, it's not necessarily true. There's enough paranoid freaks (myself included) who'd have some form of shelter (unfortunately I don't...yet) and enough open wilderness to save quite a few lucky sods. I know it won't ever happen, but it'd be great to see a spin-off set here.
It's not going to happen, and it never should because it wouldn't be a true Fallout game if it took place outside of America. Fallout's entire premise is the worst extremes of America's McCarthyism in the 50's plus it plays heavily off of that mentality and culture to actually work. Plus you wouldn't have Deathclaws because Chameleons don't live in England and wouldn't survive, you wouldn't have Vaults because there are no Vaults, you wouldn't have the Super Mutants because all Super Mutants in the Fallout Canon were either made in Mariposa or in Vault 87. So all you're left with is Feral Dogs, Radscorpions (They came from pet stores so 'eh it'd work), Mirelurks and Ghouls. But even the Ghouls wouldn't work if you take the side of Chris Taylor and say that Radiation and FEV is needed then you can't have those canonly.
Thus Falloutoutside of America with the exception of Canada because Canada was Annexed by America so therefore could have one or two vaults wouldn't work unless you destroy all the Canon up to this point.
Now a post apocalyptic game that wasn't Fallout and was it's own series would be kick ass in London or any part of Europe for that matter.

Okay, you've chosen England over the UK, Great Britain, or whatever city you were thinking of?
I have to only assume that you are telling me the game takes place in every where that's inside England.
That sounds fine, but pretty large, too large maybe, indeed, if you're going to go that size I suggest Great Britain, or the British Isles. Great Britain if you don't want to cross a sea, and British Isles if you don't mind.
England seems constrictive, you're missing out on the variety Britannia has to offer (certainly this far in the future they could easily be separate nations, indeed, England could too).
But again if we think of a county or city scale we should not limit ourselves from that part of the UK, I'm sure Edinburgh is as valid a Fallout zone as Manchester.
As it is, I shall retain from voting.

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.

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.
Well there's...Acidwell said:Fair enough but the lack of things to do sill standsEphraim J. Witchwood said:Never said it had to be nuked.

..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.

[/HEADING]Pfft. Death Claws. Irradiated badgers anyone? Mutated Haggis?revolutionaification said:
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.
