Appalling grammar aside, London has an entire network of tunnels that form a huge underground system of sewers. Would that not be a decent substitute?ghostracoon16 said:

Apocolypse Britain? - Yes.MulticolorCharizard said:
Fallout: UK? - No, fallout is a jolly poke at 50's america sterotypes, so leave it alone.
Can you imagine the voice actors for fallout: london (american dev studio, cockney accent obviously used to portray london) Or Fallout: Birmingham?
TL;DR - Games set in UK: YES
- Fallout in UK: NO
At first I thought, that would be a great idea, but then I put some real thought into in and came up with these answers,
Reasons it would work:
First off to those who say no because there are no Vaults in England, May I remind you of the Ghoul community, or New Vegas that survived with anti missle Software, And think back to Little Lamplight (Fallout 3) Where the students who were on a ''Field trip'' to the caves when the bombs fell, they survived in the deep caves, then they started eating their teachers but that doesn't really matter.
There are plenty of caves (in Cheddar and many other places) in England that people could of survived in due to sheer luck or the delay from the bombs landing in America and people presuming England would also be hit, And there are a few people with bomb shelters etc that would be exposed to radiation once they left, but Ghouls gotta come from somewhere,
Reasons it wouldn't work:
The wildlife, in America, there are Coyotes and Scorpions and bears that can savagely kill you (In game...) In England... You're gonna get pwned by a evil Cow(Brahmin)? Sheep(Bighorner)? Squirrel?
And think about it, only in America would people start shooting each other and becoming bandits, Warring tribes, Warring Factions, Or nut jobs that think they're Caesar come to power after being bombed the shit out of by China instead of rebuilding society... And it takes a certain amount of inbreeding before radiation will turn you into Supermutants, and lets face it, only American has enough to have a significant amount of Mutants without them being wiped out within a week or two...

I could totally see Fallout London. It would pretty much have to be London to be recognisable enough to the rest of the world. You don't want to alienate the Americans who have never heard of Manchester.
True enough, but there are plenty of ways they could kludge it into the lore, though some might be pretty unsatisfactory to fans of the series. It also seems to me that they haven't focused much on the lore recently anyway (though I haven't played New Vegas much, there was relatively little of it in 3).apsham said:
There's also the even simpler possibility of throwing caution to the wind and branching off into an alternate timeline for the game or some such. It'd be pretty hamfisted, but I don't think anyone would mind particularly so long as they kept it seperate from the canon developed so far.
It could work, if done well enough. England could have changed in the time from the 1950s to the Great war. A problem would probably be hardcore fanboys, from No Mutants Allowed and such. It would probably also be for the best if it had less invisible walls, and possibly to some extent, freerunning.
To all the people saying it wouldn't work because Fallout is just laughing at 1950's America: I know fuck-all about America. Doesn't mean I think it's bad, or unfunny.
So yeah, it could work.

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