      They don’t want to make it outside of American because reasons. I don’t think their current team has the skillset to justify that idea. If it was Tim Cain I would believe he had a good reason. But current fallout writers aren’t on par, so why not make it more interesting.

        I think the good reason is that it’s a satire of American society during the cold war.

        Let’s be honest, a fallout outside USA would render the weapons and ammos as rare as Elon Musk’s well thought out tweets

          Not necessarily, you’d just have to use different weapons, also… Fallout is a parallel universe why follow the laws of the real world? There is so much more potential in other regions of the world than there is new stuff they could add organically into fallout in USA.

          I mean they wouldn’t even need to risk their fallout IP for it, just call it something else.

          It would have to be more melee based, maybe in a northern area of Europe with a heavy scandanavian focus.

          Maybe the radiation gave them magical abilities. Have a sorry redneck excuse for a magical college up in the north east of the map in the remnants of a ruined city.

            No bad, Fallout shouldnt have fucken magic. Its pulp Sci-fi sure but at most it should have NPC psychers nothing more. We dont need to fucken have special magic abilities in everything.
