Yall gonna crucify me like the degenerate I am but… GET THE HELL OUT OF THE U.S.
Et-hnm Literally go anywhere else, I know we have more of the U.S. to cover (geographicly) but I’d like to see how other communities are doing, also even if you leave English as the language CHANGE IT SOME.
They’ve had the same general dialect since wastelands, I mean yeah we hear different accents but the general verbiage and stuff has always been far too accessible in my opinion. Language changes with situation and culture. I’d imagine having a nuclear apocalypse would cause more variation but alas no such luck.
And make it so different communities refer to the critters differently, why does everyone call deathclaw deathclaw, mole rats, rad-roach… give us unique variations. Make us afraid of El Demonios Gris. But again I want a build up to it like in the isometric fallouts.
What do yall think is this too much of a pipe dream?
I mean…
This would require a complete overhaul of the franchise’s most recognizable enemies/factions, would need entirely different theming and ideas compared to the base games that would likely be better off as an entirely different series set in the same universe. Even then, you ask for less amerco-centric games/ideas and yet america was really on the world stage with their bombs in WWII. The whole theme of the series is chinese/american nationalism and globalization breaking down as each country vies for control of the last natural resources. AFAIK the bombs were only exchanged between china and america with europe and the middle east glassing each other earlier. The soviets also engaged in the exchange (?) and south america/latin america, australia, and antarctica were relatively intact (save for the nuclear fallout). I really think another west coast fallout taking place after FO4 would be great to see more of the NCR.
TL;DR: American nationalism is a core identity of the series and other NEARBY countries like mexico and canada should be reserved for DLC.
