    Makes sense, I guess. At it’s core, the series is a critique of US government and society.

    Fallout outside the US sounds more interesting than fallout post NV imo. It kinda feels like they are worried to work on the lore because it will fall apart in Emils hands.

    why would you ever say that?? So many places and stories you could tell from this, it doesnt even have to be in vaults, they said it was mostly china and the US that were nuked, you could still tell awesome stories in like Greece or the Nordic areas. What a dumb thing to say and even contemplate.

      Imagine Assassin’s Creeding the Fallout franchise all over the world.

      C’mon down to Australia, we have Kangaroths which will skip over your head and kick you into an irradiated spiders nest, only for a six foot Drop Bear to slash you to pieces.

      Ronto sounds like an excellent place for a Fallout game. There’s so much Canadian lore that could be expanded upon.

    …that’s fine. Kind of boring though.

    Think about it: do you really think Bethesda can expand this universe in a way that wouldn’t come off as stereotyping or downright racist in another nation? Could they make a story that’s interesting and authentic? Their writing has been pretty bad lately. They’re just not up to it.

    There is a DLC where you go up into space, due to this Fallout already had left the United States once.

      Jokes on you, commie! Space is part of the US of A. You put a flag up there, it’s yours. Thems the rules.

        Even if space is US of A, then the Mothership Zeta is a extraterritorial location like an embassy. Commie always win 😄

    Why do this? If they leave the US. They don’t have to hear about how they broke the lore.

    Bethesda should have made a new Fallout timeline. When they got the rights.

      They should have gone New Zealand. It would be one of the few places likely devoid of direct nuclear strikes yet still affected. Could have done a whole set of lore where a US Carrier group shows up and demands right to port and the conflict from there.

    This all but confirms a soft propaganda deal to make current american government/military seem more competent and benign IMHO. That or Todd Howard has a increasingly bad whippet problem which, you know, isn’t out of the question.
