You wish dude. Bethesda will never take it out of USA. You're more likely to get Fallout Florida than Fallout Europe.
Y'know what *I* want to see?
Fallout China
I mean c'mon, its a freakin OBVIOUS setting. Its like literally the only other world power mentioned in the series :P
And if they take it there Bethesda can do whatever stupid plot for stupidheads they want without jackbooting all over our precious canon!

The hilarious part is Fallout China would probably be immedately banned in China.

Ah yes, the insatiable lust of corn and rice, clearly two of the most erotic foods.

I think I read on a Fallout wiki that the only mention of Russia is in the backstory for one of the Fallout 1 character presets.  And it's just "her family was Russian".

Canada has some significant backstory importance (being annexed by MERICAN POWAH AMOUR), but other than that, I can't think of any other countries being mentioned...

I'm still holding out for a Fallout set in Canada, it's not too unreasonable I think, especially considering they mentioned Toronto in the Pitt DLC.

But it'll probably never leave the States. They'll have another one in Washington before they even consider doing one elsewhere.

It's okay. Just imagine Sleeping Dogs is actually Fallout Hong Kong. See, the only country that got obliterated was the US. Everyone else was fine and entered a new golden age together of peace and prosperity. Just no one has bothered to tell the states or help them or do anything. Once in awhile they drop their deformed science experiments in the states.

I have a rather strong prediction for the next Elder Scroll game. I imagine, it'll either bet set in the far past, where Man was just starting to colonize the main continent, or it'll be this continent colonizing somewhere else. As this'll be a strong thematic tie to have the inclusion of the settlement system.

The only thing related to Russia in my fallout 4 play through is my survival characters name being Natasha. Though she goes by Tasha which codsworth doesn't seem to have the capability to pronounce. I should have gone with Furiousa.
Yesterday Tasha got stuck in rubble at the Comms array near fort Hagan. Some Spetsnaz ninja she turned out to be. I would have liked to be able to use console commands to hack her out, but survival :(

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

I really don't get all the 'Put the next Fallout in X country!' stuff, there are no fleshed out or even described groups operating outside of the old U.S., hell we've got pretty much no information on Mexico or any of Canada and they're right next door.  If Bethesda placed a game outside of the States there would be almost nothing to link the games together, maybe a couple weapons and possibly some T-51, because hell knows how people would react to 'Suddenly BoS in France!' or whatever.  It's a game series set in the wreckage of the U.S., we're not asking someone to put Stalker or Metro to be put in the States, why are you demanding that Fallout be moved out of them?

Because yes they do though. Canada's been annexed and has some known cities in the wasteland. People want to go to somewhere other than USA with the same old propaganda and perspective. I can't blame them considering I am one of them.

We know the post apocalypse name of ONE Canadian city, we know nothing about who operates there, what forces are at work, why any existing faction would care, what major companies were in operation in the area, NOTHING to make a clear parallel except for ONE DAMN NAME.  We can infer that Ronto was probably occupied by U.S. soldiers at the time of the apocalypse, but we don't know ANYTHING else, this does not make for any form of linking narrative.

Of course, maybe you LIKE 'thesda cutting and pasting factions from other places so they don't have to think.  It worked so well for F3.

But then we'd need to write new factions. Like we would for literally any new location, and thus wouldn't need to copy-paste old ones.

weird how that works, huh

I'm with you there, for me Fallout is very much a story about post-apocalyptic US. Moving Fallout to another country would seem kinda wrong. Like suddenly turning the Elder Scrolls into sci-fi, or making Mass Effect a WWII RTS. Sure, it might make a good game in it's own right but it wouldn't be Fallout to me. Of course, I'm also of the opinion that Fallout 3 and 4 are barely Fallouts anyway so I guess it'd fit right into the trend that Bethesda's got going :)
