Well, yeah. It’s a satire of specifically America. Making one set in another country would be missing the point somewhat.

From what I saw in 4 and what I hear of 76, it’s hard to imagine Todd Howard is averse to missing the point.

It’s a satire of American nuclear fears from the 50’s. But it’s also a critique on the governments of the world. The war that resulted in the apocalypse certainly wasn’t just the United States’ doing.

Technically the US annexed Canada in the Fallout universe, so you could have a Canadian Fallout and still be “in the US”. Vault-Tec even started building vaults up there.
Probably won’t do that, but it would be interesting. A potentially cool idea would be to set a game on the former Canadian border. Maybe then a DLC could be in Canada proper.

Maybe a bit north during winter, with cold hazards, mutated forests etc.

The Enclave wanted to take over the entire world. I find it hard to believe they were only operating in the US and that losing the president on that oil rig was a huge detriment to their cause. The president was a figurehead and whoever runs the show wasn’t there. Even Horrigan wasn’t the leader. He was a fuckin tool. Maybe the reason they haven’t been seen in the US for a while is because they’re off controlling Europe.

Umm…the 3 best Fallout games all take place in Moscow. Metro, Metro: Last Light, and Metro: Exodus

As someone that’s finished all the Fallout games and got bored in the first 2 hours of Metro and uninstalled it…nah fam

Oh is that why they sprung a shit tier next gen update for FO4 which ruined the release of Fallout London?

The british have Hellgate: London so it’s fine.
- baconisaveg ( @baconisaveg@lemmy.ca ) 3•5 months ago
I really enjoyed that game, though I definitely saw why it struggled.

One of those games that was flawed in the right way that I just know if they got a chance to fix them with a sequel it could have been amazing.

Isn't the story
That the US dropped nukes on themselves?
It wouldn’t make sense to leave the US anyway.
- DerisionConsulting ( @DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca ) 4•5 months ago
That depends on which game, and if you trust the person who said/wrote it.
The USA is one of the options
