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

You're right, i don't always agree with Bethesda but this one is just common sense.
*its core
Autocorrect is a bitch ain't it?
Of course it won't, as going outside of the US would require them to develop a lot of new high quality lore, something I think Bethesda is wholly incapable of.
Best I can do is procedurally generated lore. It may not be high quality, but there will be a lot of it.
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.
FREEDOM IS NOT OPTIONAL
Is that why they stealth launched the next gen patch just before the launch of Fallout London?
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.
you described Australia pre nuke but what do you think post nuke would be like?
Take my upvote and get the fuck out of my country.
Fallout is one giant US critique so it makes sense, there's no need to leave when there is so much that could still be told within it.
…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.
Why not Canada? We have RobCo headquarters in Montreal
If they go by fallout lore, technically Canada is part of the US lmao
In my mind, island of Montreal would be the last holdout to resist American annexation.
Ronto sounds like an excellent place for a Fallout game. There's so much Canadian lore that could be expanded upon.
There's a Canadian Invasion reenactment random encounter in Fallout 2, does that count?
That would have been perfect DLC for FO4
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 😄
Not sure why this is news, given Bethesda’s current state I would be surprised if a Fallout game leaves their studio and gets released.
“GRR Martin’s next book won’t leave Westeros and Essos”
People have been asking to see the rest of the world since before Fallout 3. For quite a while the excuse was "Only America had a Vault program" but then they added in random British and Irish people so who knows?
The thing is while the retro-Americana has become the accepted standard of Bethesda's Fallout it was never that big of a deal beforehand. There's no actual reason you couldn't see what happened to China or whatever.
Do they have weird ghoulified American troops over there still fighting the war? What's going on in Africa? India? They're fun questions.
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.
There was a really good novel, On the Beach which did a very good job of almost that exact plot.
Oh nice. Will check it out, thank you.
Edit - holy shit, read the book and the 2000 Showtime movie synopsis. That is some bleak stuff. Going to read it to my kids for bedtime.
I can't wait for Todd to retire. Or otherwise no longer has a say in the direction of Fallout.
Asshole
