    Well, yeah. It’s a satire of specifically America. Making one set in another country would be missing the point somewhat.

      From what I saw in 4 and what I hear of 76, it’s hard to imagine Todd Howard is averse to missing the point.

      It is entirely possible and potentially more effective to satire the US while centering the story outside of the US

        I love how some people think that other people can’t do purposeful humour. 🙊

        edit: I can imagine that some folks could see malintent in the studio’s timing, but most understand that life is full of boring coincidences. This post just lent itself well to the joke. Muha.

    Technically the US annexed Canada in the Fallout universe, so you could have a Canadian Fallout and still be “in the US”. Vault-Tec even started building vaults up there.

    Probably won’t do that, but it would be interesting. A potentially cool idea would be to set a game on the former Canadian border. Maybe then a DLC could be in Canada proper.

      Maybe a bit north during winter, with cold hazards, mutated forests etc.

    Umm…the 3 best Fallout games all take place in Moscow. Metro, Metro: Last Light, and Metro: Exodus

    Oh is that why they sprung a shit tier next gen update for FO4 which ruined the release of Fallout London?

    Goddamn. I made a comment on another post about how I think people just have hateboners for certain devs and such, and this post just proves it.

    Like goddamn you’re all salty as fuck that a new update dropped (for free, that did add some things to the base game) that broke mods. I understand being upset, but it’s not really their responsibility to stop the work they’re doing on the game they made to ask if the third-party modders are okay with it.

    Entitlement is strong with these gamers.

    At the rate Bethesda works now Fallout won’t be in US anymore either. And it’ll probably suck if it is.

        One of those games that was flawed in the right way that I just know if they got a chance to fix them with a sequel it could have been amazing.

      That depends on which game, and if you trust the person who said/wrote it.

      The USA is one of the options
