Ok I do have to give Credit to Fallout as a series though

In spite it being a post-apoc game... Things actually happen in the world, things improve and are getting better.

It isn't a world beset with huge world shaking events constantly that you wonder how it existed until now.

[majikero]

Lonesome Road says otherwise. I read somewhere that the writers had a massive hateboner against NCR and just wants to nuke it to keep it as post-apocalyptic and stop it from going into post-post-apocalyptic.

[KingofstarrySkies]

Yeh. Very likely that NCR'll be dead.

Also, can we please have this take place somewhere other then America? I mean, I LOVED NV's Western feel...But we've got whole fekkin' PLANET of places to go!

[Darkmere]

There's plenty of frontier shitholes like Chicago to do things like that with, if people weren't terrified of trying something new for once, ever. It's not like the entire world only exists in Nevada now.

Of course that could lead to tripe like point lookout, so maybe I should just keep quiet.

[KingofstarrySkies]

Like, Alaska is the only place in the USA I'd be cool with at this point. 'Cause we need a shift in scenery. Snow is cool!

[Flying Dice]

Not after that fucking FO3 DLC. The only good thing about it was glitching for the infinite-durability mid-tier weapons.

In all seriousness though, a lot of the Fallout atmosphere is directly tied to that Alter U.S.A. culture that persisted in the fragments of pre-War civilization, and going outside the country would probably be several steps farther than I'd trust the writers and artists with. Personally, I'd like to see urban Fallout done right (in other words, take just about everything that was done with downtown DC in FO3 and reverse it, get rid of the "loading screens every three blocks huehue" from NV, clean up the wonkiness of the crappy FPS controls and terrain some).

[KingofstarrySkies]

I-i'd like some fucking green instead of endless brown :c

[NullForceOmega]

If they would stick to the lore and the timescale, there should be a lot of green all over the place, but Bethsoft won't do that, because popular media says that post-apocalyptic means blasted wasteland, not recovering nature.

[KingofstarrySkies]

I wonder if we'll get to find out the canon ending of FONV?

[NullForceOmega]

Only if Obsidian's driving.

[Rolan7]

Clearly the canon Courier was a woman who supported Caesar's Legion, making everybody confused and a bit uncomfortable.

(I actually did that on my most recent run.  It was mostly glossed over, but they really didn't do her any favors.  I'm 90% sure her options at the end were leave or be chattel)

I've always thought a nuclear winter wonderland would be a pretty interesting setting. It would be a nice change of scenery.

[Iceblaster]

There's mods for that.

[Jarvis]

Thanks. This looks pretty neat.

I think they don't want to reveal that 60% of the remaining world was completely untouched by the war and they just go about business as usual while USA and the commies are a crater. </onlyhalfjoking>
