A game in a Fallout-esque setting but with more factions based on defunct empires, to the point where hey are the primary feature of the setting. Like, where Fallout has the Enclave, the Legion, and the Khans, this game would also have factions based on and psychotically claiming to be the British Empire, the French Empire, the Spanish Empire, the Aztec Empire, the Zulu Empire, the Ottoman Empire, imperial China, imperial Japan, the USSR, the Third Reich, and pharonic Egypt.

I'd likea fallout-style Fallen London game.

Fallout in literally anywhere but America. Please. We have an entire planet full of shit to loot things to explore and we only stick to one sodding Country. It's stupid. Fallout: England/UK should be a thing, dammit.

Anywhere else but america does not in fact have things that make fallout fallout, no vaults, no power armor, no "perpetually stuck in the 1950s" aesthetic, no pipboys, deathclaws, anything recognizable or easily identifiable with the Falloutverse.

So it could literally be called anything else and still happen in the same universe as Fallout. Basically any post-apocalyptic game not explicitly stated to take place in the US would qualify, for example Metro 2033 could easily be called Fallout: Moscow, or Sir, You Are Being Hunted could easily be called Fallout: Britain.

(Plus there's the whole thing of "the US was the last of the places to go to shit in the entire world and probably least buggered up place" since the European Commonwealth dissolved into infighting after the resources ran out and most of everywhere else ended up in a similar state when the Resource Wars ended and then got doubly screwed when full-on nuclear war between the blocs started.)

Now while it might be interesting to see how the rest of the world developed and while it may be thought that it'd give the developer more free rein over the visual design, factions and the like, I can guarantee it'd just end up with:

- not Power Armor (It's a Nuclear Knight Suit!)
- the Братство стали, who are definitely not the BoS and have never heard of such a thing and how dare you insinuate they did.
- not-Vaults
- not-pipboys
- not-Deathclaws
- not-Super-Mutants
- retro 50s aesthetic but modified slightly to fit the nation the game is taking place in.

In order to make it more recogisable and marketable as what has collectively been dubbed the "Fallout aesthetic". So basically it'd just be "Fallout but everyone's got an accent and things look slightly different."

I am okay with this. Just let Obsidian write the damn thing. And besides, it'd be a nice change of fucking scenery-I liked New Vegas because it was Apocalypse Western and FO4 is alright looking, but I want to see something different. Interesting. And mostly find out how other countries had it.

Like China. I want to know their side of the story... Hell, just knowing how Annexed Canada went. There WERE Vaults there, so it'd be cool to find ghouls who still hate America and/or Canada, and see a glimpse of an oppressed nation at the end of the world. It's mostly 'cuz I feel like nearly every Fallout sort of had the vibe of 'America is GREAT' at the end of the day.

Rambling!

I am a bitter, cynical man child so I pretty much guarantee that wherever else the game would take place, there wouldn't really be anything vastly outside the Fallout comfort zone (i.e. there's always gonna be power armor and super mutants).

Still, different takes on the post apocalypse are always nice. I quite liked the more Blade Runnerish moments in FO4. Just wish the game ran with those more.

The funny thing is the Super Mutants shouldn't have spread too much, Fallout 3 just had them for the sake of it.. Though I was distinctly pleased that Fallout 4's had a (Slightly) more reasonable explanation.

Kind of a game, but some sort of online system designed to bring conspiracy theorists and government shills together to argue with each other ad-infinum. Then have a scoring system where onlookers can mark both posts and particular users as being insightful or not. Then eventually all the best posts can be brought together to create a concise summary of the main talking points for anyone who doesn't have a clue. Also hand out prizes or some shit.

Thrilling? Only because the neds make it feel as though you're running from feral ghouls...

Reddit almost fits... Aside from "concise summary of the main talking points," right? (Says a person who avoids reddit as much as possible because if I open it, the next hour or two disappears)

A tactical strategy game where combat happens super quickly. You don't control your guys during combat; you give them a sequence of actions to perform, and you only get to command them again if they run out of actions without completing the objective. The longest mission would probably be two minutes from letting your soldiers go to completing the last objective.
