I think they should try a different country. Japan would be nice, or China because of the way Communism plays in to the story. Other than that, New York is prime. I actually wrote a creative writing assignment called "Fallout: New York" once.

According to Fallout Lore,Africa was pretty much gone well before the nukes.

I personally want them to do New York as a state. Theres literally so many terrains that you could easily do a dozen DLCs for it. DC was awesome,and New Vegas was. Until you get assraped by Cazardoes and Deathclaws.

I agree,Texas would be cool,but the DLC options would be kinda limited.

a DC like city,a Vegas like deserty bit,and another swampy area yknow?

NY would have NYC(imagine a city run by gangsters like new al capones and not sissies like you see in New Vegas) you could have the Great Lakes,Finger Lakes,and even Canada as the USA annexed Canada in the Great Resource Wars.

ONly really the Armory and the few bases that were were left. NYC would be DC. But Albany would have been spared I believe.

Africa's already a wasteland.

Everything is based on 50's culture and the 50's ideas of an American future. Furthermore, head developers from both Obsidian and Bethesda said as long as they had anything to do with Fallout, it would stay in the U.S. Taking it anywhere else would change the feeling entirely.

Well, who's to say that the Brotherhood or Enclave wouldn't have outposts there? It's mostly undeveloped land there. Perfect place to have a super base.

ghoul ******* ?
supermutant ones would be evil

on the up side, there would be plenty of ak47s, rpgs and 50cals everywhere

precisely why it wouldn't be such a good idea. weapons would degrade slower than the ones in Operation Anchorage.
armor, however...

< i hear that
armor there aint so good

yeah. then again, as someone mentioned earlier, there's probably a chance for some fancy power armor or something in there.
who knows? perhaps Africa was an untold front on the war against future communism. we go in, leave our stuff there to allow for more stability, they get nuked by association.

would either by some high-tech american stuff or some russian prototype stuff

though there would be tons of that wood power armor like in FO3

oh no, cant get much out of me during the bouts of madness, be pleased i can control those and be productive

oh another good point would be that the ghoul/supermutant africans would STILL be fighting each other over tribal differences
there might actually be a mission in that, where you help one side to kill the other and get rewards

of course! someone call Bethesda, we have a new Fallout on our hands. let's hope it doesn't happen like Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel did.

later id want a fallout in europe,
would make sense, usa would have counter-attacked and nuked them

i want that hot ghoul Babs from Fallout Tactics worked back in, should could be a german ghoul girl perhaps?
plus a little joke sideline story about ghouls in ukraine, - the werent nuked, they were already there in chernobyl

why stop at mainland Europe? why not extend the sandbox to parts of the former soviet federation? you know, get a chance to see what we were fighting, rather than what we fought for.
