Where should the settting be for another Fallout game?

[chainer1216]

chicago, australia, or somewhere in china.


but mostly chicago.

 

[Shamgarr]

Somewhere in a nuclear winter.

that would be awesome! It could be all white, and you could kill communists. Hmmm. They could even call it Operation Anchorage, that's pretty catchy.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

I'm thinking out by the pacific coast, other side of the country.

Like Fallout 1 and 2?

They were in California.

 

[Disaster Button]

I like the idea of it being in the Wastelands of London.

This. As long as its ALL NEW BADGUYS. No Enclave or BoS... There is enough history in Britan to make a good New Badguy and good guys.

Exactly they could totally reinvent it with new scenery, new setting and new story, new bad guys, it'd be something new and would probably kick a lot of ass.

 

[zombie711]

you should be able to move from vegas, to lonodon to paris.

Your sarcasm dose not amuse me.

 

[GeekFury]

Glasgow, you'd not have to change much.

 

[AkJay]

I like the idea of it being in the Wastelands of London.

Then you think about the flop Hellgate: London was (entirely different premise, I know, but felt like it needed to be stated)

I would prefer it to be set close to home where I live (North-east coast, USA)

 

[Ph33nix]

Rome/the Vatican. it would be sick crawling around all the ruins. First you have the ruins of Rome then on top of that you have the ruins of the modern world it would look sick. Plus all the catacombs and the religious stuff, plenty of space to through in a new faction of religious extremists.

 

[Caligulove]

When is any game gonna feature Philadelphia? I would love to walk through the ruins of my neighborhood. Or wreak havoc in it in some other game.

If they get the rights to put "Paddy's Pub" and the dead remains of The Gang from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia... I would buy it just for that

Yeah but I doubt the setting will be too great an influence, it depends what they do with the setting that matters. They could make Fallout: Narnia, do a half assed job and it'd probably fail because of the effort they put into it.

They could do almost any setting really as long as they do a good job with it, its just nicer to have well known places especially places with a lot of history to draw on. In all honesty I'd rather have it done in the North East of England because that's where I live.

 

[(whitty name here)]

Hmm... something very barren like a desert or the Arctic. Northern Europe maybe? Having a game set here in canada would be nice. Maybe a year round cycle that changes every 25-45% missions completed and have a nuclear winter.

 

[secretsantaone]

I think a lot of it is based on the patriotic jingoism of the USA, combined with the theme of a picturesque 1950s America gone wrong.

Many of the organisations such as VaultTec and the Brotherhood of Steel are American. It's easier to get American voice actors.

Plus Bethesda are an American company.

 

[WestMountain]

Maybe China, it would be fun to be an american undercover agent in China before they launched the nukes and you are trying to stop them

 

[Eatspeeple]

Maybe on a big boat? Like an oil rig or something? Or maybe something on the coast? I can think of some interesting gameplay mechanics based on the tide... Perhaps... Mirelurks get forced into towns by low tides? or cave type enviroments flood? Or maybe huge storms, and...

Hawaii.

Seriously. The more you think about it, the more sense it makes.

Pearl Harbor military base?
Volcano?
DLC Islands?
Giant mutant sharks?

 

[Turing]

Maybe China, it would be fun to be an american undercover agent in China before they launched the nukes and you are trying to stop them

And they could call it, oh I don't know, Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare 3 Chinese Armageddon.
And it wouldn't really be a Fallout game if it was set before the nuclear holocaust, would it?

Fallout belongs in the U.S, as far as I'm concerned it couldn't really be placed anywhere else

 

[YoUnG205]

somewhere original? like in asia.

 

[Necrofudge]

Depends if it will have anything to do with the previous one.
If yes, then China.
If no, then California or England.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

Chernobyl would be interesting.

 

[Daveman]

I like the idea of it being in the Wastelands of London.

Maybe.

But I prefer my idea, Rural Ireland!

Defeat the mutant hordes of Donegal!
Destroy the Cavan raiders!
Fear the Kilkenny Ghouls!

isn't that what ireland is like already? har har har
